072 The Seventh Highness Rui'er Will Definitely Choose You
Mrs. Su looked at her daughter's fingers and frowned the next second.
Murong Shaofeng, who was at the table, suddenly stood up, with shock written on his cold and handsome profile.
Nangong Rui'er also opened her eyes wide, and the long skirt she was twisting in her hands tightened again and again!
Why did that little bitch appear at the concubine selection banquet?
She didn't come with Murong Shaofeng, because if she was, the man wouldn't stand up suddenly!
So what is she here for?
Nangong Rui'er couldn't think of becoming famous, so she only stared at Nangong Baiye with a pair of gloomy eyes.
Nangong Baiye's reputation was already bad in the capital, and most people had seen her. When they saw her appearing in the palace, they couldn't help but look surprised.
She let people look at her, her steps were not hasty, and she was wearing a fur coat with a large hat. Different from the common fur coats, the skirt of the outfit she wore had two rows of complicated and luxurious buttons, and the cuffs were also slightly
The top is folded in two pleats, and the smooth satin fabric matches the fox fur on the edge of the big hat, which makes it look three-quarters glamorous and seven-cents handsome.
Coupled with her untied long chestnut curly hair and slightly unruly eyes, she looks like the Queen of England all over!
The people present were all dignitaries in the capital, but they had rarely seen clothes similar to hers. My eyes lit up and I couldn't help but look at it again and again!
In fact, this dress was randomly designed and improved by Nangong Baiye because he felt that ancient long skirts were inconvenient to move around. Unexpectedly, the effect was even better than he imagined.
She curled her lips and smiled, found a seat with a fruit plate, sat down with her son in her arms, picked up a cup of hot tea, and played with it carefully while changing positions between her fingers.
But it was the position where she sat that made Nangong Ruier's expression completely change!
That is clearly the exclusive seat for the show girls waiting to be chosen as concubines!
How could she sit there?!
What makes everyone even more puzzled is that the guards standing aside did not stop her. Does this mean that she is also on the list of concubines this time?
Murong Shaofeng's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a bit of unclear ambiguity and viciousness.
Could it be that she refused the marriage in front of the Holy Emperor just to choose a concubine?!
There were waves of dull pain in his chest, which made Murong Shaofeng's handsome face lose all color for the first time.
Nangong Rui'er stretched out her hand and pushed Nangong Hongyan's back, a hint of cruelty quickly flashed through her eyes.
Nangong Hongyan naturally understood what she meant, walked up to Nangong Baiye, restrained her arrogance, and asked kindly: "Third sister, why are you here?"
Nangong Baiye smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand: "It's normal for a show girl to choose a concubine. If you can come, I can come too."
Is she really here to choose a concubine?!
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock. Isn't this completely against the rules?
Mrs. Liang was the first to react. She knew that Mrs. Su had always disliked this concubine daughter, so she covered her mouth and smiled, with obvious sarcasm in her words: "What is this? It's not good for an abandoned woman to be at home."
Wait, why are you looking down on anyone when you come out? Are you still thinking about choosing a concubine? Isn't this a toad that wants to eat swan meat!"
Mrs. Su did not express her position after hearing this. When all the ladies saw the situation, they all understood.
Some covered it up with their hands and said with a chuckle: "I'm afraid if it was her, she would have drowned herself in the river a long time ago. Why does she still dare to show up? She also dares to come and make trouble on such an occasion, haha, there is another joke to be read.
"
"It's strange, why is she on the list? Her pregnancy before marriage was such a turmoil that the emperor couldn't have heard about it."
"Who knows, maybe the saint saw that she was from the Nangong family and wanted to take care of her?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a pair of worn-out shoes still makes trouble!"
The sarcasm came one after another, filling the pavilion with laughter.
As officials, they didn't discuss it like women, but the look in their eyes at Nangong Baiye said everything.
Only Murong Changfeng clenched his fists tightly on the table, and there were blue blood lines on the back of his hands protruding from anger.
Some officials who were good friends with him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thankfully you divorced her. Haha, such a woman is really..."
The official shook his head as he spoke, his face full of mockery.
Murong Changfeng wanted to say that it was not he who divorced her, but she who divorced him.
Moreover, he also begged the emperor to grant him a marriage, but she refused!
But when he saw the disdainful look on the official's face, he could only pretend to be calm and echoed: "Yeah."
Naturally, Nangong Baiye heard this echo. She curled her thin lips casually, and regardless of what everyone was saying, she held the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with her fingers and fed her son a few mouthfuls from time to time. He ate so leisurely and contentedly.
The way she eats is very particular, with an innate elegance that makes it impossible to find a single fault.
But after all, this is ancient times. In ancient times, ladies could not eat without scruples like her. That was a behavior that only unruly women would do, not to mention that this was at a royal banquet.
Even more important!
Mrs. Liang caught this point and laughed wildly: "They are also people from Nangongyuan. The fourth lady is as beautiful as a flower and is kind-hearted. The seventh lady is sweet-tempered and lovable. Why do these advantages come to a certain person?"
None of it is gone, only the rudeness remains, just like a country boy!"
"Mrs. Liang, don't talk about my sister like that." Nangong Rui'er still dressed up as always and smiled kindly: "My mother often teaches us three sisters to know etiquette when going out. My sister probably has been away from Beijing for too long, so she is not used to it.
That’s all.”
When these words reached the ears of everyone, it naturally became that Madam Su treated the three sisters equally, but people were different, some learned well and some did not.
Nangong Baiye is obviously the person who cannot teach well no matter how he teaches.
Look at Nangong Rui'er again. Every word she speaks has the heart of a Bodhisattva. She pleads for her embarrassing sister as soon as she opens her mouth.
Mrs. Liang let out a long sigh and patted the back of her hand affectionately: "Miss Fourth, you two sisters are like one in the sky and one on the earth! The difference between clouds and mud is probably what I mean."
"Mrs. Liang, you made fun of Rui'er again." Nangong Rui'er blushed appropriately, feeling embarrassed.
Seeing her beautiful appearance, Mrs. Liang laughed and said: "This time when choosing a concubine, His Highness the Seventh Prince will definitely choose the Fourth Miss."
The actual situation is indeed like this. Although the ministers all sent their daughters to the palace to choose the concubine, they had already determined in their hearts that the most noble Seventh Prince would definitely choose Nangong Rui'er!
The other princes are the targets they want to compete for...
Even Nangong Baiye also clearly understood that the selection of the concubine this time was undoubtedly decided by the emperor long ago, and the candidate must be a young lady from the three major families.
There are only men in the Hei family, and the Miss Qu family is obviously too young. Only Nangong Rui'er, if she is beautiful and talented, will definitely become the imperial concubine.
However, what she didn't expect was that the prince who chose the concubine turned out to be her perverted senior brother...
