Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 233
Mu Yutang stepped into the banquet hall, and saw a room full of beauties, gathered in twos and threes, sitting or standing, chatting with smiles, Du Ruolan, Li Siling, and many others whom she couldn't name All the famous daughters of the family have arrived, and even Han Ningshuang, who is about to marry, is sitting in the corner to join in the fun.

Rumors of Qin Zhiyuan's affair with Mu Yunjia were spreading. Han Ningshuang was the wronged party, and she was about to marry him. However, the emperor never mentioned her marriage, nor did he find another husband for her. I don't know why. What do you think.

The emperor didn't mention it, so she didn't ask about it tactfully, she lived and ate, drank, had fun every day, and came to join in the fun when there was a banquet, and her life was very pleasant.

Han Ningshuang is able to have today's happy day, Mu Yutang has some credit. Seeing her enter the banquet hall, Han Ningshuang's eyes lit up, and just about to ask her to sit here, the eunuch's shrill report sounded outside the door: "The emperor is here, the empress is here! Here, the imperial concubine is here!"

The lively banquet hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone bowed their heads and knelt down, shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress!"

Mu Yutang knelt in an inconspicuous corner, looking at the emperor, the women's clothes slowly dragged across the ground, sat on the golden chair in the center of the banquet hall, looked at the people in the banquet hall and said in a majestic tone: "Pingshen!"

Everyone thanked En and stood up, sat down gracefully, looked at the kind-faced emperor and empress, and understood in their hearts, the concubine selection banquet began!
There are hundreds of people from famous families, and the emperor didn't know a few of them. Seeing them all dignified and decent, he was very satisfied, his majestic eyes softened, and he said kindly: "I had a dream last night, and someone said such a sentence: a century-old tree, The wind can’t blow. I’ve been thinking about it for a whole day but I still haven’t figured out the meaning of this sentence. I don’t know who here can explain it to me?”

When the court ministers and young talents heard the news, they all lowered their heads and lightly sipped the fine wine in their cups. This was a concubine selection banquet, and the emperor set a question to assess the famous daughters, so they stopped joining in the fun.

The famous daughters were all slightly taken aback. Didn't the elders say that choosing a concubine is a show of talent, as long as they can get into the eyes of the emperor, empress, and princes, they may become princes and concubines?
Why didn't the emperor let them draw lots to show their talents, but directly asked the exam questions. The talents they carefully prepared were completely useless.

Mu Yutang and the daughters have completely different views. One of the three princes is going to inherit the throne. His concubine will be the queen in the future. It doesn't matter if she knows how to sing and dance. The emperor's question is to test the ability of the daughters.

Mu Yutang didn't want to enter the palace, didn't want to be in the limelight, sat in an inconspicuous corner, picked up the jug and smelled it, and the sweet and clear fragrance entered her nose, she frowned slightly, it was frost dew, she was overwhelmed Alcohol power, she lost her composure after drinking in front of the emperor, and the consequences were very serious, so she decided not to drink.

Putting the jug and wine glass aside, she poured a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and glanced around lightly, with a slight smile in her cold eyes, the question was actually very simple, she could answer it with her mouth open, but she didn't know Can the talented women of Qinglong Kingdom answer this question?

The famous daughters frowned and thought about the answer. In the silent banquet, a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi stood up. Her vermilion lips were light and her eyes were clear. She was the number one talented woman Du Ruolan: "Your Majesty, my ministers want to come up with a plan." The answer, I don't know if it is correct!"

"But it's okay to say!" The emperor looked kindly and spoke kindly.

Du Ruolan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Irresistible!" A century-old tree can't be blown down by strong winds, and it's just luxuriant and immovable!
The corners of Mu Yutang's mouth curled up, the number one talented woman in the capital was a little short of fire.

"The meaning is similar, but a little different." The emperor's eyes were still kind, but his tone was more regretful.

Du Ruolan's face was slightly pale, she smiled unnaturally, and sat down gracefully.

"Is anyone else coming up with a more definite answer?" The emperor's majestic eyes looked around at the famous daughters. They all lowered their heads and remained silent. The banquet hall was still quiet except for the question that the first talented woman answered wrongly. How can they answer it.

Xiao Tianling's gentle gaze swept across the famous daughters, and landed on Mu Yutang. She was sitting in a corner, and the location was not so remote as it was hidden. If you didn't look for her, you wouldn't be able to see her at all.

She was holding a white porcelain teacup, sipping green tea time after time, with a leisurely expression, completely devoid of the racking brains of famous daughters, as if she was facing a big enemy, as if she didn't pay attention to the emperor's problem.

Xiao Tianling suddenly felt a little joke in his heart: "Miss Mu has figured out the answer?"

Hearing this, Mu Yutang paused, almost choking on the tea in his mouth, slowly turned around, and looked at Xiao Tianling, today he was wearing a snow-blue brocade robe and a purple gold jade crown, handsome and handsome, His face was extremely handsome, and the golden sunlight poured in through the lattice windows, blowing off his bright light and shadow!

The pleasing picture of a beautiful boy, but Mu Yutang looks very unsightly. With so many daughters from a famous family, it is not good for him to call anyone, but to call her. The eyes of the emperor, empress, important court officials, daughters of famous families, and young talents all fall on her. With her body, she couldn't even be an invisible person even if she wanted to.

When the emperor heard Mu Yutang's name, he suddenly remembered that she was Xiao Qingyu's only disciple. He also highlighted her name, and when he looked up, he felt very familiar with her young and beautiful face. After a while, but couldn't think of anything, he couldn't help but whisper: "Do you know the answer?"

"Minnv thought of an answer, I don't know if it's correct!" Everyone in the banquet hall saw Mu Yutang's leisurely manner, if she didn't give the correct answer, it would be unavoidable to be contemptuous of Huang Wei: "It's deeply rooted!"

"Not bad, not bad!" The emperor nodded slightly, his majestic eyes full of admiration.

Du Ruolan's complexion was slightly pale, and the hands under the sleeves were clenched tightly. The deep-rooted meaning was indeed similar to her own indomitability. Mu Yutang thought about it a step further on the basis of her answer. Doing yourself better than yourself is invincible.

An Mofeng sat not far away, frowning slightly. This is a concubine selection banquet. Any outstanding woman may be selected as the princess concubine. The little wild cat sat in the corner, silently and inconspicuously. Before she had time to be happy that she was acting as a foil, Xiao Tianling was pulled in front of everyone, and she even answered the emperor's exam questions correctly, and was praised. Things were not good.

Glancing at Xiao Qingyu beside him, he was sipping lightly with a sapphire wine glass. The snow-colored robes were gently fluttering in the breeze, raising beautiful arcs. fluctuation.

An Mofeng couldn't help frowning tightly: "The little wild cat is so attention-getting, don't you worry?" The little wild cat is an unmarried daughter, and the two of them can compete fairly, but if the little wild cat becomes the princess, they have nothing to worry about. Here's the chance.
