The best princess

Chapter 117

Fu Youran was a little surprised.

Ever since the concubine of Chu country ran away with her father 20 years ago, the prince has never been a concubine. I don’t know if he is too infatuated with Huangfu Bing. Anyway, until he ascended the throne and died, the position of queen has always been vacancy.

Since there is no empress in the main palace, these two are the two with the highest rank in the harem—the concubine Quan and the concubine Bo.

Concubine Quan is the birth mother of the eldest princess. She has been with Emperor Chu Jing since she was a child. She gave birth to the eldest princess when Emperor Chu Jing was still the prince. Later, the prince became the emperor, and she was also named a concubine. Don't look at the beauties in the harem like clouds. There are countless young and pretty people, but who made them incapable of giving birth to a son and a half for Emperor Jing?The eldest princess is her absolute advantage, so she was named a noble concubine not long after, which is only one step away from the queen.

But it's quite exasperating, she relied on her scheming to obtain the position of her daughter, yet there was someone earlier than her who took off the title of imperial concubine with ease.No promotion, canonization directly.She is Concubine Bo.

No one knew how she appeared, only that one day Emperor Jing brought a person back from outside the palace, and he was made a noble concubine not long after.This noble concubine Bo is indeed a beautiful woman, but... no one knows her identity and background, it is mysterious.

And Emperor Chu Jing always loved Concubine Bo very much.

but!But but!It's a thing of the past that Emperor Chu Jing loves her any more. Now that a new emperor is about to ascend the throne, what do you think?Could it be that Fu Youran didn't want to show her off, but she wanted to give Fu Youran a head start?

Can't figure it out.

Although Fu Youran was puzzled, she was not in a hurry. She followed Li Ze and walked slowly. The foreign officials who followed her had consciously stopped and waited there from a distance. But Li Ze was a bit reluctant to speak. , obviously in his heart he wanted to defend Concubine Bo, but the facts were in front of him, so it was hard to speak.

Fu Youran was a little curious about this Concubine Bo, because Lao Li didn't seem like the kind of person who would rescue others in public because of his personal friendship.

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a sweet and greasy scent of powder, and Fu Youran knew that she was not far from her destination.

Sure enough, after passing through an extremely spacious corridor, I saw the source of the incense powder.

A group of women stood in a staggered pattern—yes, although a group had been sent away, there were still a group left, and quite a few of them seemed to be a few years older than Fu Youran.Although it is stipulated that only concubines over the age of 30 can stay in the palace, there are also many eunuchs who are a few years younger and do not want to leave the palace.After all, there is a war outside, and at their age, even if they leave the palace, they will not find any good way out.

The head of the person was dressed in elegant clothes, and under the sunlight, his head was so golden that it hurt people's eyes, and it was impossible to tell what they were wearing.

Fu Youran's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, but she couldn't tell what she was talking about, anyway, she passed by, probably to say hello to her.

Li Ze took a step forward, pointed at the shining golden lady and said, "Your Highness, this is the eldest princess' biological mother, Concubine Quan."

Fu Youran deliberately got closer to see this person clearly.

Compared with the supporting group behind her, this imperial concubine Quan's appearance is only ordinary, her phoenix eyes are slightly thinner, and her jade face is slightly longer, but judging by the way she stands there, there is another kind of arrogance and nobility.

Fu Youran was looking at Concubine Quan, and Concubine Quan was also looking at her, a strange look of reluctance flashed across her face, mixed with sadness and pain.

It's no wonder that this empress dowager was originally her daughter-in-law, but now seeing someone else become her, can she feel better?

"I have seen Your Highness the Empress Dowager." After a while, Concubine Quan slightly bowed her body.

Although Fu Youran sympathized with her, there was nothing she could do. She nodded with a smile, and Li Ze introduced the main concubines one by one. While talking, she looked absently at the back of the crowd.

Concubine Quan twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically, "Master Li is looking at why Sister Bo hasn't come yet?"

The mocking and pointed tone made Li Ze's white eyebrows stand up, and then he thought that this is not the place to get angry, so he slowly calmed down, turned around and shouted: "Li Jinzhong, go and see why Miss Bo hasn't arrived yet .”

Li Jinzhong was the head of the inner palace who reported to Fu Youran the harem personnel, he responded and hurried to go.

Concubine Quan snorted, "When the first emperor was alive, younger sister Bo was very arrogant. Now that things are different, and she is relying on Li Xiangguo, she doesn't even care about the empress dowager."

Fu Youran found the key words with sharp ears, and immediately used the spirit of gossip to cast a probing look at Li Ze.

Li Ze stared, his face gradually turned red—not shy, but as if he was bloodshot with anger, "It's just nonsense!"

The people present were startled again, the old man got angry again regardless of the concubines in the harem and Fu Youran and others present.

It is true that Chu people are irritable.

"It's a bit of a joke, why should Prime Minister be angry?"

A cold and clear voice came from behind the concubines.

Fu Youran tiptoed to see who it was.

It might be because of the aura on that person, wherever he went, all the concubines backed down one after another and made way for him.

Plain clothes and white clothes, blue silk like ink, oval-shaped face full of classical beauty, two black eyebrows curved like willow leaves, drawing two beautiful arcs, cold eyes make the person who touches feel bored and hot, the eyebrows There is a slender sakura flower inlaid everywhere, and there is no special decoration other than that.

Fu Youran looked at her, and unconsciously took a step forward.

Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped forward, "Your Highness, this is Concubine Bo."

Fu Youran nodded slightly, her eyes still stayed on Concubine Bo, Concubine Bo walked over lightly, as if she was fluttering, and stopped two steps away from Fu Youran, without even bowing her body, her eyes were locked on Fu Youran's face on, as if counting her pores.

"You..." the beauty said softly, "You are... the daughter of King Cheng?"

Fu Youran was taken aback, thinking that she wanted to verify her integrity, she took off the amethyst from her body and threw it over. This action shocked Li Ze, Li Hai, Li Jinzhong and a large group of eunuchs and non-eunuchs. On the ground in case the amethyst falls to the ground to prevent misfortune.

Concubine Bo held the Amethyst in her hand, but didn't look at it. Concubine Quan at the side said in a bad tone, "If you don't understand, you should take it to see. Sister Bo is really a worry."

Concubine Bo didn't even move her eyelids, which undoubtedly hit Concubine Quan deeply. A good-hearted person is not afraid of quarrels, but most afraid of being ignored.

Concubine Bo seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes kept searching the crowd behind Fu Youran.

"You are the husband of the Empress Dowager?" Concubine Bo fixed her eyes on Qi Yibei.

Just as Qi Yibei was about to say yes, Li Ze shouted loudly from the side, "No!"

In this way, people who didn't pay attention to Qi Yibei in the past also noticed it now, and the eyes of many concubines who still had a bit of beauty suddenly lit up, then lightened their clothes, and turned their heads to pretend to be ashamed.

Qi Yibei's normal band was disturbed, he shivered, turned to Li Ze and said, "Of course I am Youran's husband."

Fu Youran looked at Li Ze with a puzzled look on her face, and Li Ze snorted, "This is Chu, not Jin, of course we have to follow the rules of our great Chu, you can only be regarded as the empress dowager It's just a valet."

Qi Yibei's face turned black all of a sudden.

Well, he didn't hesitate to abandon his position as the crown prince, and followed him all the way to Chudi, but he turned out to be just a "maiden".

Fu Youran was stunned for a moment, "Li Xiang, what did you say?"

Li Ze seems to have made up his mind that he will not compromise, but he still has a lot to say: "And the word 'Youran' is chosen by the king at will, and it cannot be counted. The royal family tree should be used to rank the empress dowagers. Please see the empress dowagers. .” As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper that was folded squarely from his sleeve.

Fu Youran gave him a gloomy look, then took the piece of paper, unfolded it, looked at it for a while, folded it carefully, and returned it to Li Ze, saying with a dark face: "Don't bother, I'll call the original name is fine."

"This is absolutely impossible." Li Ze unfolded the rice paper, pointed to the words on it, and said: "According to the royal family tree, Gong, Yan, Cheng, Hong, Ri, Wen, Zhen, Shang, Yin, the queen dowager ranks up to the Wen generation, the emperor The princess grew up in another country, and she is not very familiar with the history of our great Chu, but to establish a country in Anbang, history must be used as a mirror, so the word "history" is used, and it will be recorded in the annals of history for future generations. The emperor's daughter cannot refuse."

Fu Wenshi.

Fu Youran's face darkened again, "Can you change it?"

Seeing that Fu Youran took a step back, Li Ze lobbied harder, "The Imperial Academy has deliberated for a long time to come up with this taboo. If the Empress Dowager has any doubts, they can be arrested and questioned."

"Forget it, forget it." Changing the name would be a crime, and the old man made it clear that there was no room for change.Fu Youran let out a long and depressing breath. If you smell shit, you can smell shit. Anyway, no one will call her by her name in the future, but... sniffing her nose hard, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that something stinks.
