Chapter 275: Picking the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 275: Picking the Imperial Concubine

Concubine Hui expressed her love for her in full view, which made people suspect that she might be trying to win her over.

And about this palace banquet, Su Moliang heard some rumors, it seems that the queen and Concubine Hui intend to find candidates for the imperial concubine for the seventh and sixth princes at the palace banquet.

Su Moliang was not sure what Concubine Hui meant at the beginning, but after seeing her attitude today, she was very sure that she meant to win her over and let her marry Gong Moyu.

However, she deliberately made it so obvious that she did it for the queen to see.

The queen and she are rivals, and she expressed goodwill to Su Moliang. The queen will definitely think that Su Moliang belongs to Concubine Hui, so she will naturally be more hostile to Su Moliang.

Therefore, Concubine Hui's move was not to choose a concubine, but to force Su Moliang to stand on the opposite side of the queen, and had to accept her wooing.

Hmph, this old fox is really cunning, using such means really leaves Su Moliang with no choice.

At this moment, Su Moliang understood Concubine Hui's intentions, and the others naturally also understood.

In the entire hall, people couldn't help talking about the sixth prince's marriage.

Gong Youyi was recently grounded by the emperor for killing the daughter of the Yin family, so he did not attend the birthday banquet, but Gong Moyu himself was sitting on the main hall, not far below Concubine Hui, and was subject to everyone's discussion.

At this time, his face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he was staring at Su Moliang.

He was obviously tired of this woman, but the queen mother wanted to win over this shameless woman in public, his internal organs seemed to be exploding, burning badly.

But Concubine Hui didn't say anything about their marriage, and he couldn't stand up to object affectionately, so he could only hold back his anger, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a sip.

Su Moliang also saw Gong Moyu's angry expression in his eyes, and a faint light flashed across his eyes, pretending not to know, clasped his fists at Concubine Hui as if he didn't understand: "Your Majesty is absurd, the little girl is just a pariah. It is the benevolence of the empress to be in the hall of elegance, and she can treat the little girl so kindly, the little girl is very grateful."

Su Moliang's words seemed to be infallible, as if he was being modest, but in fact he was rejecting Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui should be angry at her ignorance of good and evil, but she gave her a name of benevolence, which made it difficult for her to refute.

However, after all these years of scrambling in the palace, she still has some concentration, and she couldn't help laughing along with Su Moliang's words: "Hehe, Miss Su don't need to belittle herself, she can travel from the Southern Sui Kingdom to the Cangyuan Kingdom. In the end, becoming a disciple of the Nirvana Sect is not something ordinary people can do."

Su Moliang was noncommittal when he heard the words, and lowered his head slightly, with a humble look.

This Concubine Hui's intentions are so obvious, if she said more, it would be really difficult to reject her kindness.

So she simply chose to remain silent.

Seeing Su Moliang's silence, the queen felt at ease, and couldn't help but change the topic loudly.

"Today is the emperor's birthday, which should be a happy day, but the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness, but he has to worry about the flood disaster in the west of the Cangyuan Kingdom. I think that in previous years, the birthdays were either singing and dancing, or reciting poems against each other. Your Majesty I'm tired of watching it, this time I will cancel those bells and whistles, and I want to hear everyone's views on the flood disaster. Of course, if anyone speaks well and makes sense, the emperor and this palace will greatly reward .”

Hearing the queen's words, everyone started whispering.

This flood disaster is like a malignant tumor. It has been invading the Cangyuan Kingdom for many years. Even the ministers in the court are helpless, but why did the queen suddenly mention the flood on this occasion?

Some people don't understand the queen's intentions, but Su Moliang sees it clearly.

Obviously, the empress and concubine Hui wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the palace banquet to select an outstanding daughter-in-law who could help her son to help the country.

That's why I took out an extremely difficult question related to the country's society to test everyone.

The crowd below didn't really understand it at first, but now after thinking about it carefully, they all understand it.

It's just that the flood disaster even caused headaches to the ministers in the court, so how could the women present come up with a brilliant solution.

However, before Su Moliang could sigh, someone volunteered to stand up.

This person is the daughter of Dongcheng Lord, Fu Lanya!

She is wearing a white dress today, elegant and noble, with a pair of bright eyes full of smiles on her white and handsome face, and she is full of coquettishness as she looks forward to it.

I saw her leaning toward the queen, and her gentle voice slowly spread: "Mrs. Hui, my daughter has some humble opinions about flood disasters, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

Although Fu Lanya is the daughter of the city lord, the four major cities are located in a remote place after all, and are not as prosperous as the imperial capital. Moreover, the four major cities have to pay tribute to the royal family every year, so life is really aggrieved.

That's why Fu Lanya put all her heart into trying to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, changing her situation and destiny.

This time, it was her best chance to perform, so naturally she couldn't miss it.

Seeing that Fu Lanya was confident, the queen nodded in satisfaction: "You don't need to be formal, just speak freely."

Fu Lanya was affirmed by the queen, and then she slowly opened her mouth: "It is said that the Lancang River to the west of the Cangyuan Kingdom is constantly flooded, not only drowning the crops, but also drowning the people nearby, making the people miserable and suffering. The little girl Zeng I thought, if this river is filled with stones, firstly, it can stop the flood, secondly, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and thirdly, the emperor will not need to allocate a large amount of treasury to rescue the refugees near the Lancang River every year, so—”

Fu Lanya thought that what she had come up with was an excellent idea, her face was full of arrogance, and she was waiting for the empress to praise her, but she didn't expect that she was interrupted by the emperor's roar before she could finish her sentence.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the handle of the dragon chair with a palm, and there was a bang, accompanied by a sharp roar, which made everyone tremble in fright.

"Hmph, the Lancang River is an important supply source for our Cangyuan Kingdom. If it is closed, what will you let the people drink? What to eat? What to use? Besides, the Lancang River originates from the northernmost part of Cangyuan Kingdom and flows to the west. Such a long line, how do you want me to fill it? If it is true as you said, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed to fill the river. Ya turned pale, and fell back to her seat precariously.

She heard that it was the solution to the flood, so she only tried to think of a way to control the flood. How could the emperor think so thoroughly, so comprehensively, and so far-reaching.

He didn't even expect that he would anger the emperor.

This time, Fu Lanya was scolded to the point of being speechless, her face was completely lost, and everyone laughed at her instantly.

"Hehe, Fu Lanya, you don't care what your status is, but you dare to speak up without shame. You really lose the face of the Nirvana Sect!" Huang Manxi dislikes someone competing with her for the position of imperial concubine, and now she sees that Fu Lanya is deflated , sneered on the spot, adding insult to injury.

 After ten o'clock, there is another chapter!
