Before they had time to trap Xia Ziying, they were all taken to the Imperial Garden. When they were brought to the Imperial Garden, all of them were so surprised that they were speechless. From ancient times to the present, no one has heard this.
I have said that the emperor selected his concubine in the imperial garden. I wonder what more bizarre things will happen next.
When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, looking at Mu Lianlong and the people sitting far away, she realized that the emperor had no choice. This morning, Xiao Ling ran to the Queen Mother's palace.
I went and told the Queen Mother about the Queen's selection of concubines. The Queen Mother still laughed about it. Mu Lianlong had already told her that she didn't plan to care about it anymore. After all, her son had grown up and he was still the king of a country.
Yes, it is up to him to decide his own affairs!
But after all, she couldn't resist Xiao Ling's repeated advice, saying that she had never seen the scene of choosing a concubine, and wanted to take this opportunity to see what the scene was like. The Queen Mother really had no choice but to agree to her.
He sent someone to tell Mu Lianlong that he also wanted to see this concubine selection event.
When Mu Lianlong learned about it, he became nervous. He and Du Jun had already planned it. All he had to do was select the candidate, and then she would be directly named the imperial concubine, so that he could be with his beloved.
It's like staying together for a long time. Even if others find out later, there is no way to change it. But it can't be done now. With the participation of the Queen Mother and Xiao Ling, there is a possibility that Xia Ziying will be rejected by them at any time. In order to change this, only
After coming up with this idea, someone notified all the show girls to come to the Imperial Garden. Then she, the Queen Mother and Xiao Ling sat in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Royal Garden. All the show girls took a boat and performed their own performances.
Their talents passed by the small island in the middle of the lake one by one. In this way, the chance of Xia Ziying being discovered by them would be reduced, and she might be able to escape this disaster safely.
Although Mu Lianlong had such an arrangement, he was still worried and asked Du Jun to go down and find a way to protect Xia Ziying safely and not to be discovered by them.
After receiving such extremely troubling news, Du Jun couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he told Xia Ziying the situation truthfully. After listening to Du Jun's words and seeing the helpless look on his face, Xia Ziying
He laughed and said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed, leave this matter to me. Look at your sad face."
After saying that, he walked towards the back. Seeing her confidence, Du Jun had doubts in his heart. He didn't know what she would do, so he waited outside curiously.
The time for selecting the concubine had come. The Queen Mother and Xiao Ling were sitting in a small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Looking around, this place was really refreshing, and I felt that I felt much better.
Seeing how happy the old queen mother was, Xiao Ling said: "Queen Mother, look at how good our emperor is at choosing a place. When I heard that you were coming to choose a concubine, you chose such a place. It's really...
It's so beautiful and tight, and you can see that it's surrounded by greenery, flowers, plants, fish and insects. We were on a small island in the middle of the lake and enjoyed all kinds of beautiful scenery. In this place, there is no bias in choosing a concubine. The so-called good scenery accompanies her.
Beauty, the concubine you choose must also be virtuous and virtuous!" After saying that, he looked at Mu Lianlong and smiled at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother felt very happy when she was told that, she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, what Concubine Xiao said is not wrong at all. Your Majesty, you are also true. Concubine Xiao and I have been here for a long time, but the look on your face
You are filled with worries, as if the two of us are here to cause trouble for you. With a sullen face, are you unwilling to have the Ai family come? If so, then the Ai family can just leave." After saying that, he was about to get up, Xiao Ling hurriedly
After stopping the old queen mother, Mu Lianlong also stood up and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that I'm unhappy. It's not because you came to help me choose a concubine. It's just that things in the court have been very tense recently."
"Yes, I have been overworked and am a little uncomfortable with it. Didn't I ask the imperial doctor to take care of me yesterday?"
The reason why he was so depressed was that he was worried that something might happen to Xia Ziying who was preparing behind him. When Xiao Ling and Taihou were talking just now, he just nodded symbolically and did not accompany him to talk, and he was suddenly left in the cold.
The old queen married the old lady. She had a stubborn character. At first glance, she thought that the emperor didn't want her to come, so she wanted to leave.
After hearing Mu Lianlong's explanation, the old queen mother calmed down, looked at Mu Lianlong with concern, touched his handsome face, and said distressedly: "Oh, I just lost a lot of weight, look.
It is true that I have been delayed because of state affairs. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The country, the country, and the country are all on your shoulders, including the Meng Kingdom in the north, the Mandala Kingdom in the western region, and the Mandala Kingdom in the east.
The Chu State is all ambitious, and they are always thinking about the great rivers and mountains of our Mu State. If you have any shortcomings, and they, the jackals, tigers and leopards, hear about it and attack our Mu State in a big way, then you will be ashamed of yourself.
By the way, our ancestors of the Mu Kingdom."
Mu Lianlong was sweating in his heart. He didn't expect that a lie he made up could lead to such serious consequences for the old queen. He felt sweaty in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely take care of myself for the sake of the country of Mu. It's not because I have been busy recently that I am so haggard. It will be better after a while. I know what I know, so don't worry about it.
It's over." Mu Lianlong said to comfort the old queen, but he was thinking about another thing.
The old queen mother felt relieved after hearing Mu Liaolong's words, and sat down again. As soon as she sat down, she said to Xiao Ling: "You, I have been accompanying an old woman all day long, and you don't want to be here with the emperor."
Serve some snacks, if it hadn't been for today's concubine selection, the Ai family would have been kept in the dark. You see how thin the emperor is, you have a responsibility that you can't shirk."
Xiao Ling looked guilty and trembled for a long time, "Queen Mother, I..." Before she could say anything, the Queen Mother continued: "In this way, you don't come to Ai's house these days, and just stay with the Emperor.
You are waiting by your side, and you will not be able to leave until the day when the Aijia sees the Emperor's radiant face, do you hear me?" The old Queen Mother looked displeased.
"Yes, I would like to comply with Yi's decree." Xiao Ling's face was very ugly, but she was already happy in her heart. She was looking forward to being able to hang around the emperor every day. Now the opportunity came, and it turned out to be the Queen Mother herself.
His Majesty's will, even if the Emperor doesn't want to do it, it won't do.
After hearing this, Mu Lianlong wanted to refuse, but when he saw the tone of the Queen Mother's words, he swallowed his words. Then the eunuch came to report that all the beautiful ladies were ready and asked if he could start.
.
The Queen Mother looked at Mu Lianlong and said: "Today I am choosing a concubine for you, you can see for yourself!"
Seeing what the Queen Mother said, Mu Lianlong nodded and said to the eunuch: "Start!"
The eunuch stood in the pavilion and shouted to the outside, "Start choosing the concubine!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound of gongs and drums. After the gongs and drums sounded, a small boat started to row over from the shore of the lake. A young man with a tall figure
The woman stood on the bow of the flower boat, holding the pipa in her arms, and played a little tune. The melody was beautiful and long. The sound of silk and bamboo filled the ears, which was refreshing. Watching her slowly coming from a distance
Driving slowly over, it looked so fascinating and fascinating.
"Your Majesty, this woman's pipa playing is truly beautiful. Every note you hear is trembling with an invisible power, bringing people into a state of selflessness. It is really rare.
This is the first appearance of talented people. It seems that our emperor will have to carefully consider this time. There are many women in the world, and there are also many strange women. I wonder which one the emperor will like?" Xiao Ling
While speaking to the Queen Mother, she seemed to be asking Mu Lianlong, and the pair of red and phoenix eyes drifted towards Mu Lianlong from time to time.
"Haha, you, really, I didn't expect to have such a deep understanding and opinion of the sound of silk and bamboo. The Ai family really didn't know about it before. In fact, what you said is right. This is the first person to appear.
It's so touching. I don't know what the next one will be like, let's see!" The Queen Mother continued to stare at the beauty playing the pipa, and in a blink of an eye she was already in front of her.
With her slender figure, pink face, and a pair of frowning eyebrows that are even more arousing, her small mouth is like a cherry, and her heart is full of joy just looking at her. "Your Majesty, what do you think?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
Mu Lianlong smiled slightly and said, "If the emperor can ask me like this, she must be interested in this woman. Haha, since the emperor likes her, I naturally like her too. Let me ask her a few words before making a decision!"
He said that the boat had already rowed in front of him, "The little girl Mung Dou'er is here to see the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and Concubine Xiao."
"Oh? Mung Dou'er, this name is unique and pleasant to listen to." The Queen Mother spoke first, and couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
"Mung Dou'er, I ask you, where are you originally from? How are your parents doing now?" Mu Lianlong asked after seeing the Queen Mother like her so much.
"Reporting to the emperor, the little girl's ancestral home is Peng Nazhou, and her father is the magistrate of Peng Nazhou." Mung Dou'er replied.
"Oh? She turned out to be the daughter of a magistrate, no wonder she is so versatile. It seems that your father has taught you a lot, which really surprised the Ai family. This magistrate of Pengnazhou must be promoted many times in the future." The Queen Mother said with a smile, her eyes couldn't help but flow out.
A look of joy.
Mu Lianlong was completely aware of the Queen Mother's feelings and immediately said: "Are you willing to be my concubine?"
"It is the greatest honor in this life for a little girl to serve the emperor. My father will be very happy." Mung Dou'er said with a smile.
"Okay, your ancestral home is Peng Nazhou, then I will call you Concubine Peng." Mu Lianlong thought for a moment and then said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. My little lady, I thank you." Mung Dou'er had a smile on her face and was overjoyed. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank you.
