The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 183 The First Talented Woman in Southern Chu (1)
After finishing speaking, her eyes were filled with an unpredictable light.The smile that Zhizhu was gripping climbed up the corner of his mouth again.

Princess Lunxiao is the elder sister of Zhao Cong, His Majesty Emperor Xianren of Southern Chu, and also the aunt of the princes.At the same time, she is also the aunt of Xiaoyao Wang Zhao Shenghao, because the previous Xiaoyao Wang was the younger brother of Zhao Cong's mother.

The relationship between the three has been very close since childhood.

It's a pity that the younger brother died young, leaving behind an orphan.Now, at the age of talking about marriage, as the two elders of the emperor's aunt and emperor's uncle, it is natural to work hard.

In order to choose a good marriage for Xiaoyao Wang Zhao Shenghao and marry back a virtuous and virtuous princess, so that the prince who has been a playboy since childhood can cultivate himself, Princess Lunxiao specially held a feast in her princess mansion, and invited In Jianning City, all the noble girls of the right age who are waiting to be married.

Also assisting him is Zhao Cong's eldest daughter, who is the only flesh and blood born of the current empress, the eldest princess Zhao Yadai.Judging from her age, she is still Zhao Shenghao's younger sister.

The two princesses were together to choose a concubine for King Xiaoyao. This kind of scene was not insignificant. It once again showed the world how favored King Xiaoyao was, the number one dandy in the world.

The noble ladies who were invited, no matter whether they liked it or not, had to come here under orders.The elegant carriages slowly drove into the princess mansion, and under the arrangement of the servants in the mansion, they got off and stopped the sedan chair.

The banquet was held in Qinyuan, the largest garden in the Princess Mansion.It is said that this garden was carefully cultivated by the eldest princess and the widow. Every flower and plant here is not only precious, but also embodies the eldest princess' hard work and deep spiritual sustenance.

On weekdays, Qinyuan would not receive outsiders, it was only used privately by the Eldest Princess.But today, when the flowers are in full bloom, this place is arranged by the maids as a meeting place for concubine selection, to welcome the invited ladies from various families.

The purpose of this banquet is to choose a concubine, but the name announced to the public is to appreciate flowers.The reward is the unique golden lotus in the princess's mansion.

This opportunity doesn't come often.Therefore, even if the noble ladies who are curious about the nasturtium have no intention of being the concubines of the dandy prince, they will still dress up in order not to desecrate the nasturtium.

The time for the banquet has not yet arrived, and the two noble princesses have not yet appeared.The noble ladies who came earlier could only wander in the garden, looking for female companions whom they met on weekdays to chat with each other.

All of a sudden, in Qinyuan, there was a sound of warblers and swallows everywhere, and people and flowers echoed, and it was already hard to tell whether people were more delicate than flowers or flowers were more beautiful than people.

In a tower next to Qinyuan, a secret window was opened, and the people inside could just have a panoramic view of the garden.

"My son, why are you frowning?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman who could hardly hide her noble air.She is well maintained, and there are no wrinkles on the skin on her face. If it weren't for the vicissitudes in her eyes and the deep middle-aged voice in her voice, no one would be able to recognize her true age at first glance.

Her question was referring to a young woman standing beside her.

The woman is elegant and elegant, but noble and generous, with gorgeous features, as delicate as a lotus. On her eyebrows, a plum blossom dripping blood is carefully embellished with cinnabar, and the color of the petals is faintly blurred outside the plum blossom.This is the most popular plum blossom makeup for noble ladies in Jianning this year. It comes from the largest dressing building in Jianning City, Bingji Building.

In addition to selling rouge, gouache, beauty food, and ready-made clothes, this ice muscle building also has a door-to-door service, which is to dress up the noble girls and design the makeup for them that best suits their appearance.

Plum blossom makeup is the latest makeup look launched by this Bingjilou, which was established less than a year ago. It has won the love of the eldest princess Zhao Yazhen, and has also prompted the ladies to follow suit.

"Auntie, look at the performance of these noble ladies below. I'm really not sure whether I can choose a good match for Brother Hao today." Zhao Yahou expressed her worry.

The eldest princess sighed softly, why couldn't she see the perfunctory behavior of those noble girls in the garden?However, let's not say that the emperor's order is hard to break, even in her heart she also hopes that Zhao Shenghao can get married. "If it wasn't for your elder brother Hao, who has become more and more incompetent over the years, with the dignity of the Xiaoyao Palace, why would there be such a need for choosing a concubine like this?"

There was some blame and some helplessness in the voice.

Zhao Yahou smiled comfortingly and said: "When I left the palace, the Queen Mother also asked me to choose a good wife and concubine for Brother Hao. Sang Youqing is very good, maybe after Brother Hao marries her, he will be able to cultivate himself Well. At that time, aunt and father can rest assured."

The eldest princess nodded approvingly: "General Sang is a warrior, but he didn't expect to train a talented woman. It is said that the tiger father has no dogs. With such a woman by his side and such a Yue family, you Brother Hao should also calm down." .”

After finishing speaking, he said regretfully: "It's only because of the talent of the girl of the Sang family that I'm going to assign you brother Hao. I'm afraid I've wronged her a bit. If she doesn't want to, we can't force it."

Zhao Yahou nodded, but smiled bitterly in her heart.If there is no need to force, in Jianning City, which family's woman is willing to voluntarily marry her dude brother, the most evil in the capital?
"I just don't know if Brother Hao likes Sang Youqing. Otherwise, if Brother Hao's temper is forced to be given to him alone, I'm afraid it will only hurt Miss Sang." Zhao Yazhen secretly glanced at the face of the aunt beside her from time to time.

In fact, in her heart, the one who can match up with Sang Youqing should be her second brother, Zhao Shengqian, who is as immortal as jade.However, when she came out of her mother's harem, saw the second elder brother and told his mother that she intended to betroth Sang Youqing, the number one talented woman in Southern Chu, to Zhao Shenghao, this elegant man just smiled and said: "Everything follows Hao's heart." Then he left in a huff.

"What do you mean?" The eldest princess has lived half her life, how can she fail to see that there is something in Zhao Yadai's words?
Zhao Yahou's heart trembled, hesitating whether to speak out what was in his heart.In the loving eyes of the eldest princess, she lowered her head slightly, bit her lips, and said with determination: "It's a good thing that the queen mother intended to give Miss Sang to Brother Hao. But in Lai'er's heart, she felt that Brother Hao was not Miss Sang is a good match, with Miss Sang's talents, the second brother might be more able to sing with her. What's more, the second brother is older than Brother Yu Hao, even if you want to get married, you should consider the second brother first."

After finishing speaking, what was exchanged was a long silence.

Just when Zhao Yahou was feeling uneasy, she suddenly heard a long sigh from the eldest princess. "As for the marriage of children, we can only do our best to obey the destiny."

The words were very helpless, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable and unspeakable hidden.

Jiujiu held the invitation card all the way, and went to the Princess's mansion unimpeded. They came from the outer city, the farthest distance, and it was already late at this moment.

In the car, Chu Qing, who was reading a book to pass the time from the Mingliu Gang, was finishing her hair in a bun, while You He and Xing Rong were making the final decorations for her clothes, in order not to let her young lady stand in the middle of the group of nobles. In front of the women, people stare blankly at them.
