Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 235
An Mofeng looked at her crooked eyebrows, and sighed helplessly, her daughter's red wine is a dowry wine, the emperor clearly chose her to be a concubine, she didn't know it at all, and explained with a smile, this little wild cat, You usually look very smart, how come you suddenly become so stupid!

Everyone's eyes were also full of astonishment, and soon they were relieved, Mu Yutang answered all the questions of the emperor correctly, such an excellent woman, of course she is the best candidate for the emperor's concubine!
Du Ruolan's face was pale, Mu Yutang had already obtained the emperor's secret promise to become the concubine, her chances were a little less, Mu Yutang was so outstanding, she would definitely become the concubine of the crown prince or the third prince.

Du Ruolan quietly looked at the prince. He was holding a wine glass, his eyelids were drooping, and he was thinking of something. His eyes moved to the third prince, but he was looking at Mu Yutang. His deep eyes seemed to contain endless profundity. No one can see his true meaning.

Du Ruolan felt the crisis inexplicably, if the Third Prince had no intentions for Mu Yutang, how could he keep paying attention to her!Things are not good.

Mu Yutang frowned tightly as she looked at everyone's ambiguous and meaningful gazes. Could it be that this daughter has something special about red wine?
Xiao Qingyu looked at her ignorant little face, and there was a bit of helplessness in her deep eyes. She didn't like drinking, and he never talked to her about wine, but she didn't even know that her daughter was a dowry wine. Neglect her, how did she come here for more than ten years?
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the number one lady of Qinglong Kingdom?" The queen smiled dignifiedly and gracefully.

The first lady?The emperor raised his eyebrows, and slowly got an impression in his mind: "Is that the youngest daughter of Shangguan Taiwei's family?"

"That's right, she's back in Beijing, and she's also at the banquet!" The queen said with a smile, and glanced at the daughters sitting indistinctly.

A girl stood up and walked over slowly. The girl was only twenty-eight years old, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, jade skin and snow skin, and a black hair bun with shining golden steps, like stars in the dark night, shining brightly, scarlet The long skirt of Xiangxiang was dragged to the ground, and the belt of the skirt was tightly buttoned around the waist, and an emerald green dragon pendant hung on it, making her graceful figure even more graceful.

"My daughter, Shangguan Yan, see the emperor!" Shangguan Yan knelt down and bowed, her voice clear and clear.

Someone in the banquet hall praised: "It's really a peerless beauty, with a beautiful country."

"The few questions the emperor asked just now, Miss Shangguan whispered the answers before Miss Mu answered..." The queen was full of smiles, and she was very satisfied that Shangguan Yan was superior to Mu Yutang in his knowledge.

Concubine Jiang also responded with a slight smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine heard it too, Miss Shangguan is the number one lady, and her reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

The Empress and Concubine Jiang have always had disagreements, and it is rare to praise one person at the same time. That person's talent must be truly superb. The Emperor couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yan a few more times. Seeing her well-dressed, beautiful and dignified, she didn't waver at all when she heard the praise. , couldn't help but nodded, and said softly: "That's right, get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yan Xie En stood on one side, standing out from the crowd in the banquet hall where everyone was seated, especially eye-catching!
Everyone quietly looked at her, secretly amazed, her posture was elegant, her actions were calm and low-key, neither anxious nor irritable, she was worthy of being the number one lady in the capital.

Then look at Mu Yutang standing more than ten meters away from her. She has a beautiful face but is a little green, and her figure is also a little thinner, a little less mature than her.

Du Ruolan bit her lower lip tightly. She had always regarded Mu Yutang as her greatest opponent, but she never expected that Cheng Yaojin, Shangguan Yan, would be killed halfway. She answered all the emperor's questions quietly, and easily won the queen's favor. , the favorite of the imperial concubine, this scheming and means to quietly achieve the goal while avoiding people's eyes and ears is really amazing!
Two of the three princes and concubines have been selected, and there is only the last one left. She must be careful, otherwise, she will miss the selection of the concubine this time.

Mu Yutang was not distressed or angry about Shangguan Yan's sudden birth, and there was a bit of a surprised smile in her eyes. Why don't there be more such outstanding women, she wants to lose the election easily.

The emperor's expression was indifferent, and he didn't have much praise for the first lady in the capital. The empress knew that he hadn't heard Shangguan Yan answer the question in person, so she couldn't express her love, her eyelids were heavy, and she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Daughters are the best at singing and dancing, you asked so many questions just now, why don't you rest for a while and let them perform singing and dancing to cheer up the concubine selection banquet!"

Hearing what the queen said, the emperor also felt a little tired, squinted his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

When Du Ruolan heard this, she felt a little disappointed. She was ready to answer all kinds of weird questions from the emperor, but she never thought that the queen would propose to perform a talent show. It doesn't matter, as she is the most talented woman in Qinglong Kingdom, any talent can shock everyone.

Her lips moved, and she was about to introduce herself, when the queen's gentle voice sounded: "Yan'er is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just play the piano and relieve the emperor!"

Du Ruolan's beautiful face darkened in an instant, she was denied the opportunity to show her talents, Yan'er, you are so affectionate, has the queen treated Shangguan Banquet like a concubine?
"Yes!" Shangguan Yan took the order, and walked slowly towards Guqin, her long skirt dragging behind her, elegant and moving.

Xiao Tianling looked at where the hem of the skirt passed, and saw a moon-white skirt. Looking up along the skirt, he saw Mu Yutang. She sat back on the seat quietly, silently, and was caught by the person in front of her. Once people blocked her, she was almost out of sight.

"Music and dance are the best way to relieve fatigue. How about Miss Shangguan playing the piano and Miss Mu dancing?" Mu Yutang used to keep a low profile, but he didn't want her to be an invisible person on this occasion.

Xiao Tianling really didn't let her live for a moment, Mu Yutang frowned inwardly, and said calmly: "Thank you, Third Prince, for your love, folk girls can't dance!" Xiao Qingyu was a man, and she never danced. Knowing how to dance, Xiao Tianling couldn't say anything.

"I was negligent!" An apologetic smile appeared in Xiao Tianling's gentle eyes, and he looked lightly at Shangguan Yan: "I wonder if Miss Shangguan can dance and let Miss Mu play the piano?"

There was a hint of indifference in Mu Yutang's dark eyes, Xiao Tianling was really endless, trying to get her into the selection, didn't she just kick him into the water, why did he force her into the palace so narrow-mindedly? torture?

Deep sadness and hatred appeared in Du Ruolan's beautiful eyes, and the nails of the little hands under the sleeves were firmly embedded in the flesh.But she didn't realize that the third prince actually recommended Mu Yutang to dance with Shangguan Yan, not her!
Shangguan Yan looked back at Xiao Tianling, his smiling eyes were radiant and dazzling, she lost her mind for a moment, then recovered as usual, and smiled politely: "Of course, Miss Mu please!"

The queen frowned. She recommended Shangguan Yan to play the qin because she wanted Shangguan Yan to impress the emperor with the melodious sound of the qin. Although dancing can be appreciated, it is far less effective than the sound of music. Seeing Shangguan Yan looking happy, no Half the score was difficult, and she didn't say anything.
