Palace Selection
The show girls rested for a day, and the palace election finally arrived. It was also a sunny day, and the fine grasses spit out the stalks. From time to time, cuckoos and yellow warblers screamed from the window.
Meng Sangyu asked Emperor Zhou Wu as he tidied his clothes, "The emperor, I really don't pick a few concubines that I want to leave, I'm afraid I won't like it."
Emperor Zhou Wu lowered her head and kissed her on the cheek, and smiled, "I don't care about anyone except me. It's all up to them to stay or leave."
"The emperor doesn't need to choose the daughter of a major minister or a confidant to marry. Regarding the twists and turns in the court, the concubines don't understand and are afraid of mistakes." Meng Sangyu would not be moved by the sweet words of the man, and continued to ask.
"Now that we are doing my best, why do we need to rely on marriage to win over my heart" Emperor Zhou Wu sneered, and put a Huasheng away from the side of the mulberry, softly soothing, "Whoever loves to stay, I have no opinion." He was not interested in participating in this palace election, and left it to Sang Yu to decide. If it weren't for the rules of the ancestors, he would even want to abolish the election. He thought that his son would get married in the future, so he had to suppress this idea.
Meng Sangyu glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you don't leave any concubines,"
"Then I will leave none of them for the aftermath" Emperor Zhou Wu laughed with his arms around her, bit her lips fiercely, whispered a vinegar jar, and went straight up, feeling more happy than ever. He likes Sang Yu to have the idea of monopolizing himself, because his heart is the same.
Meng Sangyu stood at the gate of the hall and watched him leave with a complicated expression.
Mother Feng stepped forward and asked in a soft voice, "Manny, we really don't leave any of them." She always feels looking forward to it. Yin Cui and Bishui also looked over with bright eyes.
"If the emperor is joking, you don't have to sit in the Imperial Consort seat." Meng Sangyu waved his hand and walked into the inner hall to sleep. The election of the palace will not start until the end of the early dynasty, and there is still one hour left, no hurry.
An hour later, the newly dressed girls gathered in the open space outside the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, standing in groups of five, waiting for the palace selection. Without the help of the concubine, this is the only opportunity for them to meet the emperor, and naturally they have to perform well. Meng Ruizhu wears a pink and green gauze skirt, coupled with fresh and elegant makeup, standing in a crowd of beautiful girls also fell into the poor. Her appearance is pretty good. A few days ago, Yu Yage could not show up, but now Yu Yage can't, so she naturally stands out.
The show girls in the same group knew that she was the sister of the Imperial Consort, and they came up to fawn, but they were all repelled by her cold face. Hearing that the pretty girls around were talking about the scandal that Yu Yage was expelled from the palace because of her unclean body, she pursed her lips and sneered, her eyes shining with the light of Zhi Ped.
In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, except for the Imperial Consort, all the Four Consorts have gathered. Wise Concubine sits in a corner, with a dark expression and poisoned eyes that are daunting. The newly promoted three concubines deliberately stepped forward to talk, but after meeting her sight, they all retreated. The previous Wise Concubine was not easy to be with, but the current Wise Concubine is like a ghost, scared from the bottom of heart. There are also those concubines who used to be favored for a while, and now they are very simple, and it is rare to see the previous side. Such a change is too abrupt, and don't know what happened that day.
Although curious to die, the concubines who are well versed in the rules of survival in the harem know that there are some things that they can't explore.
After waiting for a while, Meng Sangyu walked into the main hall with a group of Gong Shi Shiran, and took his seat. The Fourth Concubine saluted, and seeing her here alone, the newcomers Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu couldn't help showing disappointed expressions. They have not seen the emperor for several months.
"Get up." Meng Sangyu raised his hand, looking tired. Spring is really good for sleeping, and she has always felt that she is not getting enough sleep lately.
"Dare to ask my mother, why didn't the emperor come?" Concubine Liang didn't stand up and asked boldly.
"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so he won't come." Meng Sangyu twitched his mouth, and waited until the disappointed Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu sat down, and ordered the eunuch at the entrance of the temple, "Pass the first group of beautiful women in."
The five slim girls walked into the hall, kneeling down and bowing down. They really looked like a hibiscus and sounded like a yellow oriole. Although have read the album for a long time, know that the female quality of this show is exceptionally outstanding. It can be seen that it is really another feeling. Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, who were so disappointed just now, couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the emperor hadn't come, otherwise they would not be taken away.
Looking at the Imperial Consort in both directions, the expressions of relief appeared on their faces. The imperial consort method is extraordinary. Yu Yage was solved with a puppy the day before yesterday. Today, he will not leave a strong enemy.
But soon they knew that they were wrong. The selection of Imperial Consort was very serious and responsible. For all talents, outstanding looks, and distinguished family backgrounds, she kept the signs one by one, and she didn't mean to suppress it, called Concubine. Shu and Concubine Liang were astonished. Even Concubine De and Wise Concubine looked at her a few more times.
Meng Sangyu sketched on the roster, put down the pen, and called the next group, rubbing the painful forehead with the gap of the group change. When first entered the hall, only felt sleepy, but after smelling the incense in the hall for a long time, after listening to the show girl's playing several times, she became more and more dizzy, her stomach churning, and she wanted to vomit.
The next group of show girls soon came in and saluted respectfully. Meng Sangyu quickly picked up his spirits, and looked around on his five faces. When he saw Meng Ruizhu standing smiling, his eyes darkened.
"Go ahead." She waved. A show girl came out, gave a brief introduction, answered a few questions raised by the concubine, and began to perform painting.
Meng Sangyu leaned back in the chair and took a sip of tea from Mother Feng. A sourness surged to her throat, and she gritted her teeth and resisted.
It was Meng Ruizhu's turn to play. She stepped forward unhurriedly and introduced herself gently and softly. She was elegant throughout the whole process, with a calm smile on her face. Her beauty is the kind of soft beauty, not as sharp as Meng Sangyu, and it is easy to make the heart feel good. Concubine De looked as usual and did not ask her any questions, but Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu frequently asked questions. Even Wise Concubine, who had been holding the brand with a cold face, asked a few questions.
Seeing their behavior, how Meng Sangyu didn't know their thoughts and their sisters would serve the same husband together. They wanted to find their own pets, even if they couldn't separate their pets, they could make her feel more responsive. Meng Ruizhu also has a few tricks. He was at Bixiao Palace yesterday and turned around to catch Wise Concubine. The news that Shen Huiru was given to death came, and she immediately guessed that the other party must have told the truth about the substitute. If she was herself, she would do the same for a happy one, at least she could hold a few backs. The emperor left Shen Huiru's life without this sinister intention. After all, a large group of hungry women is difficult to deal with, if they are completely given up. She is the only one among all the high-ranking concubines who survived. With Wise Concubine's twisted mind, it is natural to hate her. After this draft, it's time for Wise Concubine to fully understand the reality.
Thinking of this, Meng Sangyu lifted his chin and smiled playfully. With a sharp gaze, Meng Ruizhu, who was playing under his seat, called a wrong note. Her face changed suddenly, but she adjusted quickly. After the performance, the four concubines looked at Meng Sangyu and waited for her to speak.
"Lie." Meng Sangyu waved carelessly.
The four concubines all showed such an expression as expected.
Concubine De also raised his hand after the Imperial Consort, and said simply and neatly, "Liao" attracted Meng Sangyu to look at her with a smile.
Wise Concubine put down the tea cup, and the corners of her lips curled slightly with obvious malice, "My palace likes Miss Meng very much, keep the sign." When the words fell, she smiled, giving a very sick feeling.
"Stay." Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang said one after another. What makes the Imperial Consort unhappy, they are happy to do it.
Three of the five concubines can pass the card smoothly, which means that Meng Ruizhu can be promoted to the title after the draft and become one of the emperor's concubines. Meng Ruizhu knelt to thank her, a trace of ambition and happiness in her eyes.
Meng Sangyu glanced at her with a faint smile, sketched out her name, and was about to put a pen. Suddenly, he felt that the sky was spinning and he couldn't help but planted to the side. Mother Feng screamed for her mother, hurriedly stepped forward to catch her slumping body, and then called for a doctor.
The Fourth Concubine hurriedly stood up to take a look, and the show girls who had not left the scene also showed panic expressions, and the hall suddenly became a mess.
Meng Ruizhu raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said triumphantly: This is really weak after being stimulated, Meng Sangyu, this is just the beginning, and will feel it in the future.
The Imperial Consort was carefully carried into the side hall, and the draft in the main hall was stopped. Yu Yaan immediately sent to notify the emperor. To the extent that the emperor was interested in the Imperial Consort, if he didn't inform him immediately, he would surely provoke a anger.
Sure enough, as Yu Yaan expected, the emperor came faster than the imperial doctor, and a cloud of ink was stained on the bright yellow sleeves, which showed how flustered he was.
"How come you fainted suddenly? I send it to remind me." He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands trembling slightly and stroking the pale face of the female, his somber tone seemed to drip water.
Changxi bowed and promised, exited the hall and gestured towards Void. The hidden guard hurriedly went to the hospital.
Concubine De was about to reply, but Concubine Liang was the first to speak, "Back to the emperor, the concubine saw that the second lady of the Meng family's morality and merit were extraordinary, so she took charge of leaving her brand, not wanting the Imperial Consort empress to faint suddenly. "
Concubine Shu echoed a few words, only Wise Concubine, since the emperor entered the palace, has shrunk and hid in a corner, for fear of being seen by him.
Concubine De was silent, the emperor's horrified eyes and trembling fingertips swept across, and he smiled sarcastically in his heart. But just fainted, the emperor was actually afraid of Russ, which shows how much he was interested in the Imperial Consort. This stall alluded to the imperial consort being jealous, suppressing his clan, and beware of the loss.
Meng Ruizhu Emperor Zhou Wu's face became more gloomy when he heard that. The sisters serve a husband together. Are they humiliating me or humiliating Sang Yu? Even I feel sick after hearing it. No wonder Sang Yu faints.
"Duke Meng's memorial will be put on my desk. After the draft, you will have to marry Meng Ruizhu by yourself. Who tells you to do your own thing." His voice was wrapped in nine cold ice, called Wise Concubine, Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang immediately paled. .
"Give me Meng Ruizhu's brand" Seeing Sang Yu struggling, there seemed to be an uneasy color between his eyebrows, he immediately suppressed his voice to the lowest level and held Sang Yu's hand tightly.
Wise Concubine's eyes were blood red, Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang couldn't say anything, they showed their grievances, but Concubine De took a step forward and promised in a low voice. Sure enough, this was the result. The emperor really loved the Imperial Consort, she sighed in her heart.
