The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 222

Dongfang Xu came back from the horse training ground, and Feng Yu had been waiting in the uterus for a long time.

"Feng Yu, what happened these two days?" What he meant was that he entered the palace twice in just two days, and it seemed that something happened.

"Your Highness, have you read the letter from Miss Du San?"

Dongfang Xu was taken aback, and immediately remembered something, "This...I drank a few drinks with you yesterday, and I forgot when I came back. Could it be that Ms. Du San has something important? No problem, I'll watch it now."

Sure enough, he believed that His Highness was definitely not the kind of person who waited for a small belly, Feng Yu smiled slightly, then opened the hem of his clothes and followed.

However, there were no letters on the desk.

"The letter, I remember putting it here."

Dongfang Xu searched suspiciously, Feng Yu couldn't help but frowned, could it be that the letter fell into someone else's hands, so the emperor knew that Miss Du San was unwilling to enter the palace, so Huang Wei was angered?

"Wait, I found it!" Dongfang Xu finally found the letter under the stack of books, he smiled helplessly, "It must be that the palace servants came to clean it yesterday, and accidentally pressed it under."

After finishing speaking, he slowly opened the letter, Feng Yu paid attention to his face, after a while, Dongfang Xu restrained his expression and put the letter aside.

Miss Du San?Miss Du San? "By the way, this Miss Du San, could it be the Miss Hou Fu who is interested in you?"

Dongfang Xu had heard about this matter, but he didn't get in touch for a while.The corner of his mouth immediately curved up, "I see, so I see."

As soon as Feng Yu heard his tone, he knew that the prince had misunderstood, "Your Highness, no, this..."

"Don't worry, the third lady of Changqinghou's mansion was chosen by the queen mother herself. If I don't want to, she can choose someone else. Why didn't you say this earlier? It almost broke the relationship between you and my brother." emotion!"

Dongfang Xu reached out and patted Feng Yu's shoulder.

"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, Miss Nadu and I are just ordinary friends..."

"Well, I understand." Dongfang Xu had a smile on his lips.

"..."

On this day, the Palace of the Phoenix was extremely lively. The empress invited several ladies to enter the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms. Naturally, Yun Shu was also among the invitations. She understood what the empress meant, and it was different from the concubine selection conference. This time, The queen wants to make the final decision.

Yun Shu's eyes could not help but fall on the two young ladies from Changqinghou's Mansion across the street. They both had their own merits. The second Miss Du was as graceful and generous as a peony, and the third Miss Du was as tall and proud as a red plum. The two sat together, forming a harmonious relationship. The beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye.

The two of them and Wu Huiyun from Changyuanhou's Mansion are naturally the most outstanding among these ladies, but the profound cultural background of Changqinghou's Mansion makes these two ladies show natural elegance and calmness in their gestures.

And in them, Yunshu saw the real and natural sisterhood.

"I heard from Mrs. Chang Qinghou that Miss Du San has been feeling unwell recently, is she feeling better?" The queen's caring tone made Du Yuanfang's heart tighten, "Thank you for your concern, empress, my daughter is only suffering from mild typhoid fever."

"Miss Du seldom goes out, so she must not be used to the climate outside." At this time, Wu Huiyun who was standing beside her spoke with a friendly smile on her face, and Du Yuanfang nodded slightly.

In fact, even if Changqinghou's mansion didn't make it public, many people heard the rumor that the empress intended to choose the prince's side concubine, and the young lady of Changqinghou's mansion was the most likely.

Ever since Wu Huiyun's hopes fell through at the concubine selection meeting last time, she had been seriously ill when she went back, and she had only recovered in recent days, and then she heard such news, which made Wu Huiyun unable to restrain herself.

Princess Yi, she is incomparable, but among the ladies, she does not admit that she will lose to anyone, even the lady of Changqing Houfu.

In terms of reputation, no one in the capital knows that she is a talented woman, but the two concubine ladies of Changqinghou's mansion seem to be much more low-key.There should be a woman with a halo around the prince to set off the dignity of His Highness.

"I've always heard that Ms. Du San is the only one who knows people well. How about today's Ms. Du San who wrote a poem with the theme of the scenery to add to the elegance of the empress?"

Du Yuanfang didn't expect Wu Huiyun to have such a proposal suddenly, but she really didn't have the inspiration and leisure to worry about things in her chest.

The queen naturally saw Du Yuanfang's slightly pale face, and smiled immediately, "Miss Du San just recovered from a minor illness, so she doesn't need to write poems."

Wu Huiyun was disdainful in her heart, thinking that the young lady of Changqinghou's mansion was only mediocre, but she couldn't do anything but recite poems and describe scenes, how could she be the side concubine of the prince?

"The empress forgives the sin, it's all because the courtiers have spoiled their elegance."

Although she said that, but to others, it seemed that Du Yuanfang had swept away her mother's elegance.

Du Yuanxiu looked at the depressed mood of the younger sister beside him, and couldn't help reaching out his hand to give her a comforting temperature.

"I heard that Miss Du Er can play the piano well. I don't know if Hui Yun has the honor to listen to the music of nature today?"

Yun Shu looked at Wu Huiyun's sparkling eyes. Today, Miss Wu seemed a little aggressive.

How could Du Yuanxiu not hear the hostility in her tone, and didn't say much, and returned with a shallow smile, "Sister She is not feeling well, and it has spoiled the Queen's mood, and I will play the piano and greet you all." Apologize, miss."

Yun Shu became interested, and she found that Du Yuanxiu's eyes were full of concessions. Compared with Wu Huiyun's proud eyes, this Du Yuanxiu made people feel good.

A guqin was presented, and the woman walked in front of the crowd gracefully, sat down, moved her arms slightly, and Yun Shu's eyes lit up immediately.

When it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yun Shu thinks she is not as good as others, but she is attracted by Du Yuanxiu's graceful movements, such a beautiful posture!Just looking at this posture makes people hold their breath.

The notes like light and flowing water came, accompanied by the beautiful singing voice, "There are thousands of plum blossoms and branches, and they are still passionate, like snow blowing with the wind..."

Du Yuanfang couldn't write poems, so she wrote them for her younger sister. The perfect fusion of poems and melodies made people admire.

The queen was also amazed by this unique way of playing the piano, and looking at this second Miss Du, she really outshone others.

Although the third miss Du is very good, but looking at it now, the second miss Du is not bad either.

Wu Huiyun found that the queen's eyes were full of praise, and she felt unwilling for a while, but she was not very proficient in playing the piano.Then Du Yuanxiu combined poetry with playing the piano, if he just wrote a poem, how could he leave a deep impression on the empress?
For a moment, Wu Huiyun felt that she really shouldn't have spoken rashly, but let the Changqinghou's mansion take the limelight.

Suddenly, she had a flash of light.

"Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in the moon dusk..."

Another singing voice floated in while Du Yuanxiu's music score was empty, and everyone looked at Wu Huiyun who was intoxicated by it in surprise, thinking that Miss Wu couldn't hold back for a while because the song was so beautiful, so she opened her mouth to add to the fun, and didn't want to think otherwise. .

But if you look at it from Du Yuanfang's standpoint, you will definitely feel that her actions are disrespectful to herself. Yun Shu noticed her expression, and found that there was only a flash of surprise in Du Yuanfang's eyes, and then smiled lightly. Even, in order to cooperate with Wu Huiyun, he specially slowed down his own song.

One person plays the piano and the other sings, and the coordination is perfect.

"Good! It really opened my eyes."

The queen was full of laughter, and when the song was over, Du Yuanxiu slowly returned to her seat, looked at Wu Huiyun's proud smile and nodded slightly, "Miss Wu's singing is so beautiful."

"...Miss Du's song is not bad either."

Wu Huiyun thought that she would see her suppressed angry expression, but she didn't expect Du Yuanxiu to be so generous and even praised her voice for being good. For a while, Wu Huiyun felt a little bored.

If the other party is also high-spirited, then I don't need to be polite. If the other party makes concessions everywhere, I will only provoke others' comments if I push back.

This plum appreciation meeting ended among the falling petals, but what everyone didn't expect was that within this short period of time, the fate of many people would be changed.

in the Queen's Palace.

"What does the prince think?" The queen looked at Dongfang Xu's face, and thought that the other party would be resistant for a while, but unexpectedly, the handsome man stood up, "My queen, this is the Second Miss Du."

The queen was a little surprised, "You don't like Miss Du San?"

Dongfang Xu naturally wouldn't tell her that Du Yuanfang's favorite was Feng Yu, and he didn't want to steal someone's favor. "I have met Second Miss Du, and I heard that she plays the piano very beautifully."

The queen couldn't help chuckling for a while. It seemed that someone had told His Highness the Crown Prince about Miss Du's outstanding performance at the Plum Appreciation Conference.

"Well, as long as you like it, the second Miss Du, the queen mother is also very satisfied."

As for the horoscope, the key still depends on the person.The crown prince's acceptance was already something the queen could only wish for.

"In addition, the queen mother has also found a young lady for Rui'er."

"Mother's queen?" Dongfang Xu never thought that the queen would help Dongfang Rui arrange a marriage.

"Rui'er has also reached the age of marriage. He has followed his mother's side since he was a child, and only his mother can take care of him. Why don't you give him Miss Wu from the Marquis of Changyuan, how about it?"

Dongfang Xu thought for a moment, "Miss Wu is a well-known talented woman in the capital, so it would be a good match for the emperor's younger brother."

"You think it's suitable too? Well, let's do it this way." The queen smiled with satisfaction. She chose this concubine for Dongfang Rui because she had her own plan.

Soon, the imperial decree of granting marriage was issued, and some people were happy while others were sad.

Inside Changqinghou's mansion, in the hall, two beautiful ladies stood together, looking at the joyful expression of Mrs. Changqinghou.

"Yuanxiu, there is an imperial decree in the palace to promise you to the crown prince as a side concubine."

Du Yuanxiu was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't hear Madam Changqinghou's meaning clearly, "Mother, it's not the third sister..."

"I heard that His Royal Highness is interested in you, and the Empress has changed her mind."

Du Yuanfang who was on the side was a little worried at first, but when she turned her head, two patches of blush flew up on Du Yuanxiu's cheeks, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, "Second sister, so you..."

How could she not understand this expression.

On the other side, for Wu Huiyun, this was like a bolt from the blue.

"Second prince? Why, how could this happen?!"

"Huiyun, what's the matter with you?" Madam Changyuan Hou was a bit regretful that she was not the concubine of the crown prince, but the second prince was raised by the queen since he was a child, so being a second concubine is not bad.

"No, I don't want to be the Second Prince, I don't even know what the Second Prince looks like..."

"Huiyun, you must never say these words again. The imperial decree has already been issued. Are you going to resist the decree?! That is a serious crime of beheading!"

"Decapitation..." Wu Huiyun only felt that her mind was in chaos, and then she collapsed on the ground.There are so many ladies, why did you choose her?Could it be because he performed a song in front of the Empress at the Plum Appreciation Conference?

At this moment, Wu Huiyun tasted regret.
