Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Nara smiled and said: "Look at what my sister said. If we really talk about the charm and beauty of her appearance, who can compare with my sister? However, my sister has been by the emperor's side for many years, and she is not also humble.
Are you virtuous and gentle?"
This sentence made Nian's face turn red and white, and he was twisting his handkerchief to be unable to answer. Meanwhile, Nala was already looking at Yinzhen with a smile and said, "What do you think, the emperor?"
Yinzhen thought: "The queen said that she is polite, and whether she is good or not cannot be judged by her appearance. Four joys, appreciate the jade pendant."
One sentence decided Wen Ruqing's future fate. Ling Ruo sighed slightly in her heart. Maybe this was the so-called fate. Wen Ruqing was destined to enter the palace and become a concubine, and there was no way she could escape.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Sixi handing the jade pendant to Wen Ruqing, Nian couldn't hold back her breath and called out softly, her dissatisfaction evident in her words.
Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "What's wrong? She is just a beautiful girl, does the noble concubine want to be serious with her?
Nian is not a person who doesn't know how to observe words and emotions. He heard the subtle dissatisfaction in Yinzhen's words and said helplessly: "I don't dare."
In this way, Wen Ruqing was officially elected to the palace, and she only needed to be conferred the title after the selection. After that, several more beautiful ladies were selected. When it was the turn of the last group of beautiful ladies, Yinzhen was already a little tired and excited.
He glanced dimly at the nine beautiful ladies standing in the hall, waiting for them all to enjoy the flowers. Suddenly, his expression was shocked, and he sat upright involuntarily, his eyes firmly fixed on the face of the last beautiful lady.
How could it be? Even though they looked nothing alike, why did he feel like Mei'er was standing in front of him? Is it because of those eyes? Are those eyes exactly the same as Mei'er's?
He has obviously given up, but why does his heart still hurt when he sees those eyes, or that he has not given up at all in the past twenty years? Yinzhen will not forget that it was Nalan Meier's indiscriminate accusations that made him decide
Compete for position.
Because he is unwilling to lose to Lao Ba in everything, he wants to tell Meier that he is always the best in this world, Lao Ba... is nothing at all.
Now, he has become the Ninth Five Supreme Being and dominates the world, but he doesn't dare to think about Mei'er, for fear that if he thinks about Mei'er even a little bit, the longing that has been accumulated for twenty years will drown his reason and make him do things that even he can't control.
Nothing can be done.
Ling Ruo was surprised by Yinzhen's abnormality, but when she followed Yinzhen's gaze, her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Is that nightmare really going to haunt me for the rest of my life? It took a lot of effort to get rid of Tong Jiali, but another beautiful girl with such similar eyes appeared.
At this moment, Ling Ruo felt as if she had eaten yellow lotus. Her throat and chest were all so painful that she could not speak. Especially when she saw Yinzhen like this, she knew that he could not let go of Nalan Meier. After all,
How long will it take for him to break this inner demon?
Suddenly, he remembered what Yinzhen said when he came to see him that night. In his heart, he may be the irreplaceable one, but he is by no means the only one, let alone the most important one.
When Zizi was sad, the hand on his lap was suddenly held by someone. He looked up in shock and saw that Yinzhen had returned to his usual look. Except for a lingering sadness in his eyes, nothing else could be seen.
.
"It's okay, don't be sad." A very soft voice penetrated into Ling Ruo's ears. Before she could understand, Yinzhen had already let go of her hand and said to the beautiful girl with eyes that looked very much like Nalan Meier: "What's your name?"
What name?"
The beautiful lady looked very nervous. In such a cold day, there was a thin trickle of sweat on the tip of her nose. She stepped forward and saluted and said: "To the emperor, my name is Jiahui, Shumulu Jiahui."
Nian also saw the problem with Shu Mulu Jiahui, her pretty face turned pale. She knew very well the status of that woman in Yinzhen's heart. Back then, a humble official woman became a side Fujin because of a similar face, and was favored by him.
Even she was jealous of her favor. If she hadn't committed a crime in the end, she would definitely have a place in the harem now.
The threat posed by Tong Jialiluo is still vivid in her mind. She will never allow such a thing to happen again, and she will not allow Shumulu Jiahui to enter the palace. She only regrets that she did not notice this person before the draft, otherwise she could have made preparations earlier, eh
, wait a minute, the queen invited all the beautiful ladies to enjoy the autumn chrysanthemums in the imperial garden that day,
She is also familiar with Nalan Meier, so it is impossible that she did not notice the problem with Shumulu Jiahui, but she did not say or do anything. Is it intentional? She deliberately wanted Yinzhen to see Shumulu Jiahui and make her feel uncomfortable.
The favor shown by everyone, I remember that she also deliberately supported Tong Jia Liluo in this way.
The more Nian thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility. She was angry but could not express her anger in front of Yinzhen. After all, she was still a concubine no matter how high her status was, so how could she openly oppose Yinzhen.
"Jiahui, that's a good name. How old are you this year? Can you read?" Nala and Yan looked at Shumulu Jiahui who was kneeling on the ground, with light smiles on their faces.
Shumulu Jiahui quickly replied: "To answer the question of the queen, I am sixteen this year. I have read "Nv's Training" and "Nv's Precepts" with my sister, and I can barely understand a few words."
"It's good to be able to read through these two books. She is a smart person." Nala said with satisfaction, and then said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I think this beautiful girl is good."
Just as Yinzhen was about to speak, he suddenly heard Nian saying: "Shu Mulu... I don't remember that there is a minister with this surname in the court. Is it Shu Mulu Jiahui? Who is your Ama? What is your official position?"
"Returning to your Majesty, my servant Ama is the magistrate of Jiangzhou County, named Shumulu Gongming." As soon as she finished speaking, Nian sneered and said: "It turns out that it is just a small magistrate. Among these many beautiful girls, your identity is probably the highest.
Is it the lowest?”
Shumulu Jiahui's face turned red at her somewhat sharp words, and she knelt there about to cry.
"Sister, what you said is harsh." Nala said with some displeasure: "Since the selection is determined, there is no distinction between status and status, they are all show girls waiting to be selected. Furthermore, if Shu Mulu's show girl is selected, everyone will
We are all sisters, so you should be careful when speaking."
"Excuse me, I cannot agree with what your mother said." Nian had no intention of giving any face to Nala, and said to herself: "If there is no status, then all women can be selected? What kind of beautiful girl should be selected?"
Seeing Nian's strong words, Nala couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but she always had a deep mind and never showed her joy or anger on her face, so she just smiled and said nothing. It was always up to Yin to decide whether the show girl was selected or not.
In Zhen's hands, it was useless for her to argue with Nian. Moreover, she believed that with those eyes, Yinzhen would definitely include Shu Mulu Jiahui into the harem.
Nian also understood this reason, so she did not continue to entangle with the Nala family, but said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I think that the Shumulu family is too humble, so I am afraid it is not suitable to choose him to enter the palace."
Yinzhen smiled and turned to Ling Ruo: "What do you think, Concubine Xi?"
Ling Ruo didn't expect that he would ask for her opinion. She didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, she bowed and said in a low voice: "Everything depends on the emperor's opinion. I don't dare to speak nonsense."
From a selfish point of view, she does not want Shumulu Jiahui to enter the palace, but is she just unwilling to be useful?
