The prince's concubine selection ceremony really attracted all the girls from Liuyue Kingdom.
However, Du Xiaoxiao did not stand outside the palace, but accompanied Du Zhong to sit inside the Joy Palace.
"Emperor, Queen, the Crown Prince has arrived..." the eunuch's voice shouted three times. The Emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, the Crown Prince was in a python robe, and the Queen was in a phoenix robe. The bright yellow light suddenly illuminated the inside and outside of the Xile Palace, and people in the palace knelt down and shouted, "Long live."
Chitose, the momentum is so huge...
The prince sat down and immediately saw Du Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a gorgeous dress and a brocade robe, with a smile in his eyes. He wanted to make a decision on this woman!
"All my beloved princes are alive. Today, the crown prince chooses his concubine. I have to trouble all my dear princes to judge together..." The emperor's sonorous voice conveyed a seemingly cordial feeling. In fact, the sound of judging together was profound.
After everyone shouted that they were not worthy of their words of love for my emperor, this was the end of the opening ceremony.
Then the concubine selection began, and the eunuch in charge, together with the female officer in charge of the Sixth Palace, began to sing and announce the net worth, age, etc. of the women who were participating in the election, and presented them one by one.
Together with third-grade officials and above, as well as marriageable women among the people, there were nearly two hundred women, just like cabbages placed in the market for the prince to choose.
Time passed by, and Du Yiqing was so sleepy that she dozed off. She thought to herself that she was really not the material to be the prince. If she were to look at hundreds of these beauties, she would probably become the same in the end.
…
What's more, with just one glance and only looking at appearance and net worth, how do you know whether the last two people are suitable? No wonder the emperor always has so many concubines, and they only feel that they are not suitable after they sleep with each other after choosing them. Therefore, they choose to sleep with each other again.
,,until I sleep on a suitable one...trouble!
Du Yiqing thought awkwardly in her heart. As soon as disdain appeared in her eyes, she quickly ducked out of the way, but she happened to fall into the eyes of Shangguan Yu on the opposite side.
I don't know what year flashed through this little wild cat's mind, so that she showed a bit of disdain and smile in her eyes that she had been pretending to do?
Du Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Yu with a smile on his face, but in the end he was disappointed. His eyes were staring at Du Yiqing, who was wearing a purple skirt.
He took a hard look at Du Yiqing. She was doing well, dozing off leisurely. From time to time, she heard the name sung by the eunuch over there, glanced at the beauty, and then took a sip of tea. She felt very uncomfortable.
Why! She cared so much but she couldn't attract his attention. She looked indifferent, but she attracted the eyes of the person she, Du Xiaoxiao, cared about the most?
When Du Yiqing went out today, she saw the eldest lady's calm and relaxed look, and Du Xiaoxiao's smiling face.
I was already sure in my heart that Du Xiaoxiao would not be chosen as the crown princess today.
It's just... if this is the case, then Shangguan Yu and her... are a little more entangled in their hearts. They shake their heads and are so entangled. Shangguan Yu wants to be the emperor!! Let's give up this desire as soon as possible.
However, even though he kept warning himself, Du Yiqing's eyes still glanced to the opposite side unconsciously. He was also dressed quite grandly today, but he was still wearing dark colored clothes, which made him look even more cold and majestic.
It's like a lake with no waves, and its temperament is a bit colder.
Sing the names of more than two hundred women. It has been more than an hour. The queen asked: "Feng'er, all the marriageable girls from each family have been registered, leaving ten of your favorites..."
Prince Shangguanfeng nodded, but asked: "I have listened carefully to the roll calls, why is there a young lady missing!?"
When Du Xiaoxiao heard this, her heart tightened. Could it be that the prince was talking about her?
