The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 93: The Banquet (2)
Hearing Boqing's words, Mrs. Taiwei couldn't help but have a radiance on her face, and she said proudly: "The girl who can be selected is naturally outstanding in appearance. The most rare thing is that she knows how to be gentle and courteous, and knows how to advance and retreat. Madam Zuoxiang, what do you say? No." It means to refer to Mu Zhaoyue, who has a bad temper and doesn't know how to advance or retreat based on his status.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but pursed their lips and smiled, but they had an expression of indifference.

The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for many years, and she has never seen anything. How can she not know when to choose a concubine? What kind of purpose do these people have? He even identified Mu Zhaoyue.

The queen looked at the love for fickleness in the queen mother's eyes, and couldn't help but glare at Mrs. Taiwei. This superficial and stupid woman is really useless, and she bluntly belittles girls from other families and elevates her own girl, for fear that others will not know her. thought.

Seeing the queen's expression, the third concubine knew that the other party was dissatisfied with Mrs. Taiwei's performance, so she immediately smoothed things over: "The concubine thinks that the ladies to be elected this time are all good, but the most important thing is to look at the wishes of the emperor and the princes. Appearance is important, but the most important thing is a "virtuous" character, it is best to be able to manage a family and live a life."

"The Ai family likes that." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"Hearing what the third concubine and the queen mother said, I feel that this stool is not so hot anymore." Bo Qing couldn't help following the other party's words.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard it, she immediately laughed and said, "Ai Jia is going to put ice cubes under your stool to make you sit for a long time, but you have found a way to cool down yourself. How did you say that?"

Boqing pondered for a moment, then said with a gloomy expression: "The concubine also heard from the mother in the house in her spare time that her husband's father died young, her mother's illness fluctuated from good to bad, and there was no one to support her at home. It took a lot of hardships to develop my sister-in-law's aggressive and stubborn temperament, and before the concubines get well, even though the mother and the housekeeper take care of the family affairs, my sister-in-law will inevitably worry about it."

"It's really embarrassing for this child. He has suffered a lot at such a young age." The Queen Mother immediately said with emotion.

Looking at the emotional expression on the queen mother's face, Bo Qing knew that this emotional card was right, and then smiled lightly: "However, that is all in the past, don't take it to heart, if it is because of the concubine, let the queen mother If you are not happy, the concubine deserves death."

"Yes, it's all over." The Empress Dowager immediately smiled gratifiedly and said, "Seeing that Mr. Zuoxiang has made many achievements in the court, the Ai family always believes in that sentence, and endures hardships, so that he can be a master, your majesty." It was the same back then.”

Hearing this, the faces of the queen and Mrs. Taiwei were all dark, especially the queen, who hated each other to the bone, but couldn't help but praise each other secretly in their hearts.

The measure of fickleness is just right, if you are blindly modest, it will only make people feel hypocritical, but a few good words can make people's eyes shine, make the finishing point, and turn decay into magic.

If it wasn't because of their different positions, if it wasn't because Yiyuan's death was inextricably linked to fickleness, she would have liked such a smart girl just like the Queen Mother.

Boqing said with a humble face: "The queen mother is joking. The husband of a concubine dare not compare with the emperor. The Mu family depends on the grace of the royal family today. The husband will definitely do his best as the emperor and live up to the emperor's grace." Although she did not It is clear why the emperor relies on Mu Zhaoming so much, but it is never wrong to be cautious and modest.

"Ah."

The Queen Mother immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Compared with the arrogance of the Taiwei's mansion, the Zuo Xiang's mansion's knowledge of advances and retreats is more liked by the Queen Mother.

Aunt Cui took two steps forward: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Empress, the eunuch in charge of the Jinhua Palace has sent people back and forth. The Jinhua Palace is ready. Please, the Queen Mother, the Empress will move to the Jinhua Palace."

The Empress Dowager glanced sideways at the funnel next to her, and nodded: "Well, the time is about the same for Aijia, don't make those children wait, let's go."

In just fifteen days, the Jinhua Palace has been completely redecorated, and a group of women to be selected has already been waiting outside the gate of the palace, dressed in splendid attire, dyed with fragrance on the temples, like flowers with dew after the rain, charming and charming, with a frown , a smile, a raise of a hand, a throw of a foot, everyone is a lady, the elegance of a lady model, just waiting for the concubine selection banquet to start, and then stretch out her hands.

Mu Zhaoyue was naturally among them, and when she saw the figure of Bo Qing, she couldn't help being surprised, and then thought of her words: "At any time and under any circumstances, keep calm, calm, and natural. Don't let anyone see that she likes the Sixth Prince, otherwise it will... be a crushing defeat."

Because of him, she chose to completely obey the ruthless...

Boqing stayed by the queen mother's side until the queen mother sat down before returning to her seat. During this period, she only glanced at Mu Zhaoyue lightly, and there was no further communication.

After a while, three tall and handsome figures also appeared in the Jinhua Palace. They were the protagonists of this concubine selection banquet. The sixth prince Feng Yunyi, the seventh prince Feng Yunhong, and the eighth prince Feng Yunxiang were all in their early twenties , with the demeanor of the three of them, majestic and graceful, these two words are not excessive when applied to them.

As soon as the three of them appeared, the eyes of many people present could not help but brighten up. After all, they also had relatives who were waiting for this election.

Looking at the three of them indifferently, Manzhu had already delivered the information about the three of them to her. Feng Yunyi's biological mother was Concubine Yu, who died early, and the family of his grandfather had declined, and was brought up by the Queen Mother; Hong's biological mother is the virtuous concubine among the four concubines, the younger sister of Zhong Han, Minister of the Household Department; Shu Concubine, the biological mother of the Eighth Prince Feng Yunxiang, is the daughter of Xue Geng, a scholar of the Hanlin University.

Among the three, only Feng Yunyi has the military power in his hands, and the other two are just idle jobs with false names, so they are particularly noticeable.

The queen mother was naturally happy to see three outstanding grandsons appearing at the same time, and while chatting, she heard the eunuch outside announce: "The emperor is here!"

Except for the queen mother, everyone stood up to greet her.

Boqing lay on the ground, only feeling a stalwart, a slender figure slowly entered, there was a hint of ambiguity in the action, and after getting up, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the figure beside the emperor, it was the dancer who led the dance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet —— Yun Xueer.

It's just that she was dressed at this time, and when she saw it, her pupils turned cold, and her hands in her sleeves couldn't help but clenched slightly into fists.

Yun Xue'er has no extra decorations on her body, nor gorgeous clothes, she wraps herself in a snow-colored robe, her long hair reaches her waist, she doesn't wear a bun or tie up, it just falls down like this, Soft and smooth, the light can be seen.

And this is exactly what she wore most often in her previous life.

Feng Yunyi actually asked Yun Xueer to imitate her dress in her previous life to seduce the emperor, the chill in her eyes couldn't help deepening.

Emperor Yuan sat down in the dragon chair, and Yun Xueer sat at the feet of Emperor Yuan as if no one else was there, raised her head, her watery eyes were extremely charming, and she looked at the tall man with admiration, this kind of eyes greatly satisfied the man's desire vanity.
