Tang Lin was eating, her words were unclear, and her voice was low, so your concubine couldn't hear her clearly, "Concubine Tang, what did you say?"

Tang Lin looked over and swallowed everything in her mouth. She shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything. I was talking to myself. What a joke!"

Many people moved their chopsticks, some were eating their own food, and some were whispering in private.

Seeing An Feng talking to Concubine Xuan, Concubine Li let out a sigh of relief, with disappointment on her face.

At this time, the Queen Mother naturally picked up the chopsticks, put some vegetables into the Shihe bowl, and asked softly like the elders in her family: "How is your mother's stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The Empress Dowager said with emotion: "The Ai family and your mother had met several times. It's a long story. Your father Shihong was the most valued minister of the late emperor. What makes the Ai family regretful is that the late emperor and

Your father died young

.Shihe, so many twists and turns have happened to you, and the Ai family is very heartbroken for you. You said that if the Ai family had sent someone to Qingxian earlier to tell you two about your marriage, they would not have been criticized later.

…”

The worried hearts of the concubines were immediately relieved. When they heard that there was still a chance to be the queen, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they don't understand why the harem should be abolished?

Many concubines listened attentively, and as long as there was an opportunity, they were not allowed to miss it.

As for Concubine Xuan, she has never been in contact with men since she was a child, let alone talking to men, and she is still a handsome guard at this moment.

Seeing the previous scene, Concubine Xuan's heart felt as if someone had pinched her heart. The pain was so painful that it killed her. Anfeng was good-looking, unassuming, low-key and subtle in personality, and had such a good temper. How could she like to be with someone who was always ruthless?

Where is Li Fei chatting up? It seems like the two have known each other for a long time!

Hearing this, Li Fei's heart suddenly rose again, and she was so excited that she didn't know how to express it.

Your concubine, Concubine Hua, quarreled with her and snatched delicious food. Because there were too many delicacies, no one cared about them. 13acv.

Glancing at Shao Qi above, Yu Shengjun couldn't help but roll his eyes. This Shao Qi had really forgotten all about his master and was only talking and laughing with Han Lingying.

The Empress Dowager gave her a calm look, and then said to the concubines who were already so shocked that they were about to faint, "The Ai family knows that it is very difficult for you to accept it, but what the Ai family said is true. Starting from the relocation of the imperial capital, the Great Imperial Kingdom

, there is only one queen, and the emperor can only be a woman. And this queen must be chosen from among you!"

Many concubines sighed, it turned out that such a big event happened!

Looking at Shihe's beautiful and delicate face, the Empress Dowager just felt distressed. This woman was so rough. This year has not yet come. Not only did she lose her queen position, she also lost a child. Not only that, she also lost a child.

Show your face! If you put this on other women, who can survive?

The Empress Dowager continued: "Shihe's father, Shihong, was once the most valued general of the late emperor, but unfortunately, like the late emperor, he died in battle. Before his death, the emperor, in order to repay this soldier who had been with him through life and death,

I told the Ai family privately that when General Shi's daughter Shi He grows up, she will become the emperor.

Later. Originally, the wedding team had arrived in Qing County, but an accident occurred. Someone hijacked Shihe and let other women take the opportunity to pretend to be Shihe to marry him! The night after the wedding, the woman took the opportunity to escape, and no one knew she was

Who, after the palace coup, I learned that she was the female assassin who rebelled against the Royal Society!"

Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhuang ate with each other very elegantly, silently, and laughing together in tacit understanding.

Everyone was looking at the Queen Mother, except Tang Lin, who was eating vegetables and rice by herself. If the Queen Mother's focus involves her, then come over!

Anfeng sat below Concubine Xuan, and Concubine Li sat on top of Concubine Xuan. Concubine Li wanted to change seats with Concubine Xuan several times, but she didn't dare.

She wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth, then stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager with a very puzzled look, unable to say anything. As I have mentioned before, if there is any trouble in this matter, the Great Imperial Kingdom may be in danger.

But now, why did the Queen Mother confess?

Your concubine and others are very excited! If Shihe is no longer the queen, then they will still have the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the future?

She raised the corners of her lips, but the lower half of her face was very stiff, as if she had cramps, and she started to stutter, "Then, you, you eat too!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Concubine Xian caressed Concubine De's belly from time to time, and reminded Concubine De from time to time about what she should and shouldn't eat. Concubine De, however, could only keep nodding and smiling, unable to say anything.

The Empress Dowager added: "Because Shihe didn't know that she was engaged, she had already been in love with Fu Yu, the son of Prime Minister Zuo, for a long time. Therefore, she has no chance to sit down in the posthumous position. Of course, Shihe has no chance to sit down in the posthumous position.

I miss her a little bit,

It is said that Fu Yushu is her support in this life, and she must not love him. Here, the Ai family declares to everyone that the queen position is still vacant, and there is no Queen Chenghuan. But for this queen position, the Ai family is still very important.

It’s important to mention it!”

Shihe's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, the first words the Empress Dowager said to her were actually concerned about her mother. "Go back to the Empress Dowager, my mother is fine!"

She took Shihe's hand and held it tightly, her eyes deeply aching for this poor woman, "Shihe, from now on, you and Fu Yushu will love each other well. If you have any difficulties, just tell Aijia, Aijia

I will do my best to help you!”

Yang Zi and Zheng Ming introduced each other privately and soon became brothers who talked about everything.

The two stood up and exchanged seats.

An Feng looked up and caught all her expressions, and immediately smiled. Then, he said to Concubine Xuan in a tactful tone: "Concubine Xuan, can I change seats with you?"

However, after sitting down, Concubine Xuan thought that An Feng would still strike up a conversation with her, and she was waiting with all her heart. Unexpectedly, after An Feng sat down, she turned her head to Concubine Li in front of her and gently helped Concubine Li pick up the vegetables.

, "You are so thin, eat more meat, and be obedient, and you have to swallow it!"

Fu Yushu glanced at Shihe from a distance, feeling a little worried that she might not adapt.

At this time, Shihe was restless, but she didn't dare to move at will, let alone lift her chopsticks to eat. The queen's position made her feel like sitting on pins and needles.

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family will tell you these important points first so that you can be mentally prepared. The Ai family will have other arrangements for the concubines who have not been named queens and will never let them down!"

The Empress Dowager said: "This is why the Ai family came to have dinner with you today."

Yu Xinrui kept putting delicious food into An Leng's bowl. An Leng didn't say anything and let her put as much as she could, but the corners of her mouth were obviously raised a lot.

"Plop-" Tang Lin spit out a mouthful of rice and sprinkled it on the dishes in front of her.

Concubine Xuan didn't know the real purpose of Anfeng's change of seat. She thought that Anfeng liked her position, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay!"

The Queen Mother raised her hand to Shihe and introduced her, "This is Queen Chenghuan - Shihe. But what the Ai family wants to tell everyone today is that from now on, she will no longer be Queen Chenghuan.

!”

The imperial concubine and the noble concubine both had an attitude of not having any contact with each other. They each ate their own food. Once their sleeves touched each other, they sat away in disgust.

Seeing Concubine Xuan not moving her chopsticks, An Feng glanced at the jade pendant on her waist and urged: "Concubine Xuan, what do you want? Please eat, otherwise the food will not taste good if it gets cold!"

Yu Shengjun accidentally glanced and caught the expression on Concubine Xuan's face. This vicious and self-desperate expression was so vividly displayed in his eyes. But he didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes lightly, and spoke to Fu Yushu

Eat peanuts together.

Your concubine glanced at the other concubines and said loudly: "Queen Mother, there is only one queen, so the dreams of the others will eventually be shattered. But Concubine De has got Dr. Zheng, and Concubine Xian has Master Yang. They all

Now that they belong, what about the remaining people? The remaining people don’t belong, so where should they go?”

Everyone's eyes gradually fell on the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Tang Lin, then at Yu Shengjun, and then said to the concubines: "Concubines, listen up, within the next two days, the Ai family will... abolish the harem!" Lin finished her meal and got up.

"Empress Dowager!" Shihe didn't want to mention those sad past events, nor did she want to embarrass the Empress Dowager, so she interrupted the Empress Dowager, "Let the past matter pass. Shihe was very grateful to the Empress Dowager for ordering someone to send it.

The invitation letter allowed Shihe to realize a dream and have the opportunity to say thank you to the Queen Mother in person! The palace incident has passed. From now on, there will be no more anti-imperial meetings. Shihe and Fu Yushu will be very happy.

Those of you who abide by your duty, please be at ease, the Queen Mother. Shi He has never thought about the queen's position. She hopes that the emperor's queen in the future will be a woman like Concubine Tang!"

"Queen Mother!" Concubine Hua said, "Why do we want to abolish the harem? If the harem is abolished, what will happen to us concubines?"

Shihe was about to kneel down to thank her, but the Queen Mother stopped her, "You're welcome! Looking at your eyes, the Ai family will understand your thoughts!"

Concubine Ning ate alone, very quietly.

After a while, the Queen Mother glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had almost finished eating. She stood up and introduced Shihe to everyone, "Everyone!"

Concubine Zhuang asked: "Queen Mother, have you chosen the candidate for the queen?"

"No!" the Empress Dowager denied, looking at Tang Lin with a mysterious gaze and an unpredictable curve at the corner of her mouth, "Today, all the concubines, including Empress Chenghuan, Concubine De and others, can

Bring out what you are good at. As long as you defeat Concubine Tang, you will all enter the post-selection stage. The final winner, the Emperor and Ai Jia, will make her the Queen of the Great Imperial Mother Yi Tianxia! Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or martial arts, there are different opinions.

Okay, you can challenge Concubine Tang!" After saying this, she looked at Tang Lin who was standing aside in a very deceitful manner.
