Chapter 15 The Singing Concubine

"Yes." Hua Chao replied, slightly nodding.

Dong Qihuang then said: "You all sit down and talk to me for a while."

Eunuch Liu, who had been waiting on the sidelines, gave orders outside the hall, and after a while, he brought melons, fruits, pastries, and tea one by one, and the aroma immediately overflowed.

In the imperial study room, the father and son Dong Qihuang and Dongfang Ye had a very happy chat. Both of them were smiling. Most of the time, Hua Chao just sat aside and listened quietly, occasionally inserting a sentence or two .However, it didn't take long for this happy scene to start, and it came to an abrupt end because of the sudden appearance of some people.

Suddenly, a sharp and rough voice passed through the soft atmosphere.

"Report to the emperor, the empress, the imperial concubine, Lin Guifei, the virtuous concubine, the Shu concubine... Zhao Jieyu, Liu Guiren and others, please meet outside the door of the imperial study." There was a sound of heavy footsteps, but A young eunuch bowed his head and rushed in, praying.

The arc raised at the corner of his mouth gradually stiffened, and the smile on Dong Qihuang's face disappeared instantly, his brows were furrowed unhappily, and he waved his big hand: "Why are they here? Just say I'm not free, see you!"

The little eunuch murmured for a while, and then replied timidly to Emperor Dongqi in a low voice: "If you go back to the emperor, the empress said, since the ninth prince and the ninth concubine are married, according to the royal family rules, the prince brings his bride into the palace." On the first day of the palace, we will serve tea to the emperor and empress, I wonder if the tea ceremony for the ninth concubine will be held?"

According to royal rules?Heh, this is an attempt to overwhelm others with courtesy!

Dong Qihuang stopped talking, but raised his brows impatiently, and a slight sullenness flashed in his narrowed black eyes.

The empress knew that Emperor Dongqi would definitely skip the tea ceremony because she favored Dongfang Yesheng, so she wisely only mentioned the title of Ninth Concubine.If Dongfang Ye refuses, I believe that Hua Chao's head will soon be labeled as "unruly" and "daughter-in-law not recognized by the royal family".

Ordinary people don't need to pay attention to Dong Qihuang, but now it concerns his favorite Dongfang Ye...

After thinking about it, Emperor Dongqi's eyes gradually turned cold, and finally said expressionlessly: "Let them all come in!"

"Yes." The little eunuch accepted the order immediately.

And Dongfang Ye pouted dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly: "What a bunch of idiots!"

For their reaction, Hua Chao only raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile on his face. "Suddenly there are so many women here, I'm afraid they are not kind!" She thought lazily in her heart, although she had a calm smile on her face, but her heart was full of bad intentions.

The next moment, the door of the imperial study room opened wide, and a group of women walked forward slowly, looking overjoyed.The woman with a phoenix crown in a peony-patterned yellow hairpin gown at the head should be the queen. Although she is a few years old, she still looks like a beauty.Behind her was a group of women with extraordinary looks and temperaments, all of different ages.

Hua Chao looked up with great interest, and looked at these gorgeously dressed women with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old emperor is indeed very lucky!

However, smelling the strong smell of powder, she suddenly felt an discomfort in her stomach. All the noble women in front of her are not ordinary women, but they are bent deep in the palace, racking their brains all their lives, trying to get someone who might not be worth it. It is not the favor of a man who really loves, and planning the future of himself and his children.Such a life, as long as she thinks about it, she feels disgusting.

Beside her, Dongfang Ye's eyes closely followed her figure, but when he saw the expression on her face clearly, an indistinct light flashed across her gloomy eyes.Afterwards, it instantly regained its usual clarity and cleanliness.

"The courtiers and concubines have seen the emperor!" A group of women bowed and saluted when they saw Dong Qihuang sitting in the first seat.

"Stay flat." Although Emperor Dongqi was displeased in his heart, his face remained indifferent, and even his voice was a bit alienated, and his words were cold, "What are you all doing here?"

"The concubine heard that the Nine Kings and Princess Yongyi got married yesterday, and brought Princess Yongyi to the palace this morning, so she brought all the sisters over to have a look." A gentle but majestic female voice came from the imperial study room. rang inside.

Hua Chao raised his eyebrows and saw that it was the queen.

In fact, the current queen is the second queen of Emperor Dongqi.Emperor Dongqi originally had a wife who died more than ten years ago, leaving no son and half daughter when she died.After that, Emperor Dongqi appointed the queen who was still a noble concubine at the time.

Hua Chao thought to himself, to be able to stand out among so many women in the harem, and to be recognized by Emperor Dongqi, to be enthroned on the throne, this empress must be a very resourceful person.

At this moment, the noble woman was looking at her with a slight smile, with a deep expression on her face, "This must be Princess Yongyi from Xilin, right? Well, she looks really lovely, no wonder the Nine Kings can't wait for a moment, can't wait They are going to get married that day. It seems that Jiu Wang really likes Princess Yongyi, right, Jiu Wang?" After speaking, she turned her head and looked playfully at Dongfang Ye, who was pouting and full of displeasure.

The queen's words sounded very pertinent, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear the hidden meaning of ridicule.

Dongfang Ye was full of displeasure, and could not help but moaned and said, "This is my wife, of course she is the best, and she is also my favorite!"

Hua Chao smiled lightly when he heard the words, and although he was reluctant to see the situation at the moment, he still bowed respectfully and nodded one by one.

"Yongyi has met all the ladies."

Immediately, she slowly stood up straight, smiling like a gossamer.What a group of women with malicious intentions, they just came here, and they immediately wanted to show her off!
So with the queen's precedent, other women followed suit.

"Elder Sister Empress is right. It's rare for the Nine Kings to be so interested in a woman for the first time. Now that they are standing together and looking at them like this, they really are a match made in heaven!" The woman who said this was dressed in Pale yellow palace clothes, with a beautiful face, wearing seven-tailed phoenix hairpin hairpins, and tassels hanging down to the shoulders.She should be the most favored imperial concubine of Dongqi Kingdom at the moment.

"I want my concubine to say that the Ninth Prince is really lucky to be able to marry Princess Yongyi!" The person who said this was Concubine Lin, who was wearing a royal blue palace dress and a five-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head.

"The relationship between the two is so good, I think there will be good news in a few days." The person who said this was Liu Guiren who was dressed in a begonia red palace dress and a silver step shaker on his head.

"..."

For a while, the entire imperial study room was filled with chirping echoes.

Dong Qihuang's expression froze, his eyes gradually became serious, and finally he couldn't help but sternly reprimanded: "Have you said enough? Shut up if you have said enough!"

As soon as the voice fell, the noise stopped.

"The emperor calm down!" Unexpectedly, Emperor Dongqi would suddenly get angry, and the group of women who were speaking vigorously immediately changed their expressions, and they all bowed their heads and fell silent in fright.
