Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 163 Be Careful Every Step
Big Brother, Little Sister, I hope you can find a good bride and live a lifetime of happiness and health.

But before she could open those clear eyes, footsteps came from outside the courtyard door. She frowned, and became alert. She could hear that the sound of such hurried footsteps was not something that ordinary women can have.

Sure enough, when the man turned the corner and walked into the courtyard, Su Mei saw his appearance clearly and was relieved, but she was extremely puzzled about his arrival.

Who would that person be if it wasn't Lan Shuiyan?It's just why the expression on his face is so dignified. Could it be that something happened?

"Brother Lan, why are you here?" Su Mei asked in surprise.

However, with a flick of a finger, the expression on Lan Shuiyan's face changed 360 degrees. He immediately smiled and said, "Princess, do you have some water to drink? I'm so thirsty!"

Su Mei was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and walked into the room. After a while, she came out with a cup of warm water and handed it to Lan Shuiyan.

Lan Shuiyan took the water glass, immediately picked up the water glass, drank the water in the glass, and he said as if he still didn't want to finish: "Is there any more?"

Su Mei smiled and said: "Water, of course there is." But when Su Mei was about to turn around and pour water in the room, Zi Yan came over and took the water glass in her hand, and said: "Miss, let Let the slaves go."

"Okay." Su Mei nodded lightly, and then said to Lan Shuiyan: "Brother Lan, please sit down."

Lan Shuiyan unceremoniously sat across from Su Mei, as if meeting Su Mei for the first time, carefully examining Su Mei's face, Su Mei was a little confused, so she couldn't help asking: "Brother Lan, what?"

It's just that before Su Mei finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lan Shuiyan: "Do you know about the Seventh Prince entering the palace?"

"know."

"Then you have heard that the emperor is going to choose a concubine for Prince Yong?"

"I know." Su Mei wondered why he would ask such a question, did he come here today to ask these questions?However, what Lan Shuiyan said next surprised her.

"Are you also going to enter the palace to choose a concubine?"

As soon as Lan Shuiyan said this, Su Mei's face darkened immediately.It's understandable for others not to know, doesn't he know that she and Prince Yong are sworn brothers and sisters?
After seeing Su Mei's darkened face, Lan Shuiyan knew that he had said something wrong, and immediately smiled embarrassingly: "That, I was joking, ha ha."

Su Mei's face softened a little, and she said, "Brother Lan, I and my brother are sworn brothers and sisters, so it is impossible to participate in the concubine selection no matter what."

As soon as Su Mei finished speaking, Jiao Jingyao walked in with a faint smile on his face.

When Su Mei heard the voice, she couldn't help but look towards the gate of the courtyard, just in time to see Jiao Jingyao walking towards the side with a smile on her face.

"Brother!" Su Mei stood up and said calmly.

When Lan Shuiyan heard this, he didn't seem to believe it, and said: "Princess, you are too funny, the prince is still in the palace, how could he appear here!" Saying this, Lan Shuiyan picked up the water glass in hand.

Su Mei didn't try to argue, and looked forward without changing her expression.

"Really? Does this king have to stay in the palace for the rest of his life?" Jiao Jingyao said with a smile when he heard the words.

In an instant, Lan Shuiyan spewed out the cold boiled water from his mouth, then he got up, turned to look at Jiao Jingyao, and stammered, "You, you're back."

"Why? Can't you? I want to ask you, why did you appear in this princess's mansion?" Jiao Jingyao said evilly and looked at Lan Shuiyan, his eyes were full of solemnity .

Lan Shuiyan swallowed a mouthful of foam, he knew that with Jiao Jingyao's deep internal strength, he would definitely listen to the conversation between the two of them just now, but what he didn't know was that the look on Jiao Jingyao's face Is it because of Su Mei's words just now, or because of his uninvited visit?
Lan Shuiyan's guess is always very accurate, but just now, when the two of them were talking, Jiao Jingyao had already come to the door, and happened to hear every word of the conversation between the two of them, although He had known Su Mei's thoughts for a long time, but now that he heard it with his own ears, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Jiao Jingyao's increasingly gloomy face, Lan Shuiyan can be sure that he heard it. You know, no matter who this powerful person is, the most taboo thing is to be guessed by others, so Lan Shuiyan Shui Yan could only pretend to be stupid and smirked and said: "Brother Ziheng, don't take offense. I didn't go to your mansion to look for you. The housekeeper said you had entered the palace. I just came to the princess mansion. The main thing is to chat and relieve boredom, hehe."

"Brother, did you just come back from the palace?" Su Mei asked at the right time.

Jiao Jingyao looked at Su Mei with a smile and nodded.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Used it." Then Jiao Jingyao glanced at Lan Shuiyan, and then said: "Brother still has some things to do with Lan Shuiyan, it's getting late today, little sister should rest earlier."

"Well, brother, go slowly."

Jiao Jingyao glanced at Lan Shuiyan from the corner of his eye, and Lan Shuiyan stood up abruptly, and said to Su Mei, "Princess, I will take my leave."

As he spoke, he followed quickly.

Su Mei looked at the back of the two leaving, smiled and shook her head unconsciously, then turned and walked into the room.

The prince's choice of concubine is no less than the emperor's draft.

The long and narrow white jade corridor was crowded with carriages of all sizes, even outside the gate of the palace, there was a long queue. From a distance, it looked like a dragon hovering on the ground.

Su Mei lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked out of the car window through the unopened gap, but unexpectedly met a pair of bright and intelligent eyes, which were clear and agile, and her face was immature. Looking at Su Mei, obviously, the owner of those eyes did not expect that in this heavily guarded palace, especially in today's scene, there would be someone like her who would open the curtain of the car curiously and see Facing the scene outside, the woman froze for a moment, then smiled sweetly at Su Mei.

Su Mei smiled back, nodded to her, then put down the car curtain, turned around and sat down.

Although Jiao Jingyao has been closing his eyes to rest his mind, he has always been aware of Su Mei's small movements, and at the moment Su Mei opened the curtain just now, Jiao Jingyao also opened his eyes, but only slightly moved his head. On the other hand, he saw the scene outside.

Su Mei had just sat down when Jiao Jingyao's soft voice came from one side.

"Bai Bixiao, Prime Minister Bai Ran's only daughter."

Su Mei was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that he had seen everything Su Mei saw just now. It turned out that the woman who made eye contact with her just now was the most powerful man in Dijiao Kingdom, Prime Minister Bai Ran. The only daughter.

"Bai Bixiao, the number one talented woman in Beijing?" Su Mei asked in surprise.

Jiao Jingyao opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "Not bad."

Su Mei nodded. She had heard of the title of the most talented woman in the capital. Originally, she thought that Bai Bixiao, the most talented woman, was an ice beauty. She didn't expect to see her so cute and cute when she saw her today. She must have a personality of excellent.

Thinking of this, Su Mei turned her head to look at Jiao Jingyao, and couldn't help sighing in her heart: If the eldest brother's princess is her, then everything will be fine!
Jiao Jingyao felt Su Mei's gaze, raised his head, and saw Su Mei who was smiling, and looked as if he had thought of something happy, his face was distracted, and he couldn't help asking: "Little sister?" What are you laughing at?"

"Ah?" Su Mei came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing." She blushed and lowered her head, as if she was shy after being prying into her mind.

Jiao Jingyao shook his head lightly, with a slight smile on his face, and then closed his eyes again.

Inside the Bai family's carriage, Bai Bixiao lifted the curtain again. She turned her head to look at the carriage where Su Mei was in, but found that there was nothing there now, just an open space, as if it was all an illusion of hers just now.

Strange, why did the carriage disappear so quickly?Bai Bixiao muttered softly.

She lowered the curtain, and she remembered that when she met the eyes of the woman in the carriage just now, she seemed to see a figure of a man, and although she couldn't see the figure clearly, she felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere Like too.

"drive!"

Suddenly there was the sound of the coachman waving his whip, and before Bai Bixiao could react, she could already feel the car moving forward slowly.

She shook off the thoughts in her mind, smiled softly, and then sat quietly in the carriage. She knew that in a short time, she would be like those women, standing neatly in the hall and participating in the draft.

It's just that she is confident, she believes that she will definitely win the first place and marry the wishful man of her dreams!
Qing Yudian.

"Little sister, you are resting here now. After the concubine selection is over, I will order someone to pick you up for the banquet." Jiao Jingyao said with a smile.

"Okay, brother, go to work, don't miss the hour."

"En." Jiao Jingyao nodded, then turned and walked out the door.

The Qingyu Palace is the resting palace for members of the Dijiao Kingdom's royal family, and it has always been the resting place for the families of princes and princes after entering the palace.

And behind the Qingyu Hall is the Qingluan Hall, which is a palace for receiving envoys from various countries, or the family members of kings and grandchildren, but today in this Qingluan Hall, the people who take a break are those from all over the world. envoy.

After Jiao Jingyao left, Su Mei had nothing to do, so accompanied by Zi Yan, she went for a walk in the green bamboo forest in the backyard.

Although the Green Bamboo Forest was built in Qingyu Hall, it is connected to the backyard of Qingluan Hall.As for this point, even Zi Yan didn't know it.

The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves hits the nostrils head-on, and it looks extraordinarily sweet under the breeze.

The bamboo branches swaying in the wind, like young girls, are dancing in the most charming figure.

If the plum blossom forest is a sea of ​​fragrant snow, then the large green bamboo forest in front of you is an ocean of green shade.

For a moment, Su Mei didn't feel a little crazy. She stared at the green bamboo forest in front of her, and walked forward uncontrollably, gradually disappearing into the forest.

Before she knew it, Su Mei came to a small pavilion, but to her surprise, there was a tall figure standing in the center of the pavilion with her back to her.She didn't expect that at this moment, there would be someone like her who would walk slowly in this forest.

"Miss, let's go back." Ziyan tugged Su Mei's sleeve quietly, and said in a low voice. She was afraid that her voice would be heard by people in the pavilion. You have to be careful with every step, if you miss half a step, you will die without a place to die.

Although Su Mei didn't know who the person standing there was, her intuition told her that it was better to leave. She always felt that the person's back looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it before, and she also vaguely noticed it. There was a dangerous breath, and that breath was the cold air that burst out from the man's body.

"Yeah." Su Mei nodded slightly.

But just when Su Mei was about to turn around and leave, the man in the pavilion suddenly turned around and met Su Mei's searching eyes.

The moment she saw the man's face, Su Mei trembled all over, her face full of surprise.She never dreamed that she would meet the prince of Shanghuang Kingdom in the palace of Dijiao Kingdom, no, to be precise, it was King Qi.
