emperor cold concubine

Chapter 176
"I've had enough food and drink, and the discussion is almost done, Changting, should I invite the gentleman on the beam down for tea?"

Chang Ting said indifferently: "Master Mo is wrong, it should be said that it is the roof, not the beam."

Su Mo nodded to be taught, and turned her head to look at Bi Yue, "What was it that was hidden in the duck's body just now and was lucky enough to be swallowed by this girl?"

"Master finally remembered this question." Bi Yue curled her lips and sighed, "There is no harm to your body, it just makes you obedient."

"Make this girl obedient?" Su Mo smiled coldly, "A fairy tale."

"What do you mean?" Bi Yue raised her eyebrows.

Xie Changting said lightly: "According to the literal interpretation, it probably means absurd and daydreaming."

Su Mo snorted, and glanced at the two of them sympathetically: "A ignorant child who hasn't even read One Thousand and One Nights, and claims to be proficient in everything from classics and history to Ziji, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"I'm not the one who is proficient in everything." Biyue hurriedly put the relationship aside, "I'm just an honest man from the world, a rough old man, and apart from a little bit of martial arts, he's useless in everything else."

Boss Xie, who claims to be proficient in classics, history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, sipped his tea peacefully, calmly and gracefully, neither commenting on the obvious ridicule nor wanting to argue.

"Wrong." Su Mo smiled charmingly at Biyue, lazily shook her index finger and said, "Biyue, your biggest advantage is that you have a good appearance that is suitable for both men and women, commonly known as hue."

Hue?Biyue's face was slightly blue, and she glared at Su Mo angrily and said, "My son is handsome and flawless, so Master Mo can't give his subordinates some more pertinent and subtle evaluations. The point is to praise and describe men. Yes, for example, romantic and unrestrained, with a jade tree facing the wind, elegant like jade, gentle, talented, calm, heroic, fresh and handsome, tall and mighty... When this young man is dressed in men's clothing, he does not have the coquettishness of a woman. "

"Biyue, are you sure these words are used on you?" Su Mo glanced at him lightly, "Handsome and Wuchou is talking about Yixiu, Yushu is as elegant as jade, only Yuexiao is worthy of it, gentle and gentle." A person with both good looks and good looks is sitting in front of you right now. As for being calm, tall and mighty, among the people I know so far, Ziyu is probably the only one who can bear this compliment. And Shuhe, who is fighting in South Vietnam at this time, is truly heroic Full of vigor, Shu Tong belongs to the fresh and handsome type, but his temperament is quite calm and calm like that of a general."

Biyue became quiet when she heard the words, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at Su Mo, and said in a low voice, "So in the eyes of Master Mo, this subordinate is just a sissy with an extraordinary look?"

Su Mo chuckled: "Biyue, when did this girl call you a sissy? The word hue generally refers to all delicate and good appearances, including men and women, handsome, handsome, graceful, graceful, and so on. Vocabulary is used to describe a person's appearance, it is a good thing to be born good-looking, you are happy, and others look pleasing to the eye, so why care about other things?"

Bi Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at the smiling Su Mo, she suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, and always felt a sense of unreality in her heart.

It's too extreme. When Su Mo is on the verge of anger or has murderous intentions in his heart, Su Mo is so ruthless that the evil spirits in all directions will shudder. At this moment, he is in a happy mood, but he is like an approachable friend or playmate, enjoying the jokes to the fullest. Fun, even if the danger is close at hand, it doesn't take it to heart.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing him in a daze, Su Mo raised an eyebrow and asked.

Bi Yue came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

Xie Changting glanced at him lightly, his eyes were full of meaning, but he didn't say anything, lowered his eyes lightly, wondering what he was studying.

"The meaning of making this girl obedient is that some kind of princess has taken a fancy to this girl's ability?" Su Mo smiled lightly, "Does that princess have any bad intentions?"

"People's hearts are always greedy." Xie Changting said lightly.

"Is Bai Wanrou her real name?"

"No." After thinking for a while, Xie Changting explained in the most common and easy-to-understand way: "Jiuluo's royal family is a bit complicated. The royal family is honored by Ye's surname, and every successor empress follows her mother's surname, and she can only succeed by name. Only when you become an empress can you be qualified to inherit the surname Ye. During the reign of each empress, there are usually one empress and six male concubines, and those with lower names can only be called sons. It's called Ye Wanqing. There is only one queen, and the princesses who have not succeeded can only take their father's surname.

Su Mo was still a little confused, and felt a sense of absurdity that she had never felt before, "You mean, if the queen has twenty princes and daughters, who are also brothers and sisters, they may have twenty different surnames. ?”

Xie Changting shook his head lightly: "Not so many. I said just now that every empress generally has one concubine and six concubines. The child born by the empress depends on whose surname it is. Surnames. All the prince’s children will have at most seven surnames, but it does not rule out that some male concubines are not favored, or have no offspring due to physical reasons, in which case it will be less than seven surnames.”

"Then if it's men of other status, it's impossible for the queen's harem to only have these seven people?" Su Mo asked strangely. After all, the ability of all men in that area cannot depend on their status. Men with low status It’s also impossible to just watch it in the harem, the queen will have sex with her after all, isn’t she? However, Xie Changting’s answer made him dumbfounded——

"Those with low status can be blessed by the queen, but generally they are not allowed to have the queen's children. Even if there are occasional accidents, the queen will order the surname of one of the queens and six concubines. Of course, it depends on the queen. For example, whether the child born by accident is valued, and the degree of favor of the concubine is also taken into consideration when choosing the child's surname."

Su Mo's face was strange, black lines kept sliding down his forehead, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.

The queen, the sixth concubine, the child's surname... and the queen's blessing...

She looked at Xie Changting strangely, and coughed lightly, "Well, Changting, you have such a thorough understanding of the customs of the Jiuluo royal family, are you interested in joining Her Majesty's harem and enjoying being blessed by the great empress? It just so happens that you are about the same age, and with your all-round talent in both civil and military affairs, you will surely be able to conquer the fragile and sentimental heart of Her Majesty the Empress without any effort."
