Chapter 217
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about here?"

In the carriage behind, Yin Xiangsi and Fan Yue got off.

Seeing Jing Se and Su Ying standing together, she immediately walked over and looked at Su Ying curiously, "This is...?"

Jing Se smiled and introduced, "This is the eldest daughter of my third aunt's family, the fourth lady of Duke Jin's mansion, Su Ying."

Yin Xiangsi was stunned, "So it's from my sister-in-law's maternal ancestral family, Fourth Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Su Ying glanced at Yin Xiangsi, and saw that she was wearing the same dress as Jing Se, the most solemn Zhai Niao pattern life wife's dress in Xiqin, and after hearing Yin Xiangsi's address to Jing Se just now, she knew her identity in her heart.

Bending her knees sideways, Su Ying said politely: "My daughter has seen the little princess."

Yin Xiangsi smiled and helped her up, "Since you are my sister-in-law's cousin, you are also my cousin. From now on, we will all be relatives, so there is no need to be so polite."

After thinking for a while, Yin Xiangsi asked: "Sister Su Ying entered the palace today, could it be that she has become the Queen Mother's favorite princess candidate?"

Su Ying lowered her head slightly and nodded slightly, "Return to the little princess, that's right."

"That's it!" Yin Xiangsi frowned. Although she didn't know Gu Beiyu and Gu Qian well, she had heard a lot from her elder brother and sister-in-law during this period. She is also very measured, gentle and courteous, which is very good in Yin Xiangsi's opinion. If she is selected by Gu Gan in a while, wouldn't it be a flower stuck in cow dung?

Looking at Jing Se, Yin Xiangsi pulled her aside and said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, are you not afraid that this girl will be chosen by Gu Gan?"

Of course Jingse is worried, but what can I do?According to the imperial decree personally issued by the Empress Dowager, the Duke of Jin must choose a girl to enter the palace, even if it is not Su Ying, it will be Su Miaoyu.

"For the current plan, we can only let her hide her talent at the next banquet." Jing Se sighed, "Otherwise, I can't think of a good way to help her avoid it."

Even when Jing Se said that, Yin Xiangsi had no choice but to say, "Alright then, I hope she will lose the election smoothly."

The two were talking when they heard the sound of a carriage coming from behind.

Jing se turned her head and saw that it was the right minister's mansion.

With half-closed eyes, Jing Se fell into a brief thought.

There are also female relatives coming from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?Could it be Jing Shudi?
Just as Jing Se was thinking about it, she saw Liu Shi walking down from the carriage with Jing Shudi as expected.

Jing Se's eyebrows moved slightly, and she guessed right!

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Liu turned around and opened the curtain, and the silver-haired Mrs. Jing came out slowly with a stick.

This one is here too?
Jing Se secretly thought, today's palace banquet is really going to be very lively.

As soon as Mrs. Jing came down, she felt a cold gaze falling on her. She glanced around keenly, and finally fixed her gray eyes on Jing Se. Seeing that the other party raised her eyebrows and smiled at her, Mrs. Jing immediately Thinking back to the day when I personally went to the Prince Chu's mansion, but was repeatedly dismantled by Jing Se and had no choice but to leave, I immediately hated my back molars itching, and the eyes I cast on Jing Se became sharper.

Jing Se didn't care about Mrs. Jing's hateful eyes. She walked over slowly and curtseyed, "Arthur has seen the old lady."

The demeanor is very good, but there is an imperceptible sarcasm in his voice.

Concubine Chu and the Duke of Jin's mansion were present, so Madam Jing couldn't say anything shameful, so she gave Liu a wink.

On that day, Mrs. Jing was in a daze after returning home, and she invited the doctor to see her, but the doctor asserted that she was over-stimulated and angry.

Mrs. Cheng didn't ask, but Mrs. Liu couldn't keep her mouth shut, and immediately went to the Millennium Hall. She just said something out of the old lady's mouth, so she immediately understood why the old lady gave her the gift. The wink is to make himself appear to frustrate Jing Se's spirit.

With a lift of her chin, a trace of contempt appeared in Liu's eyes, "Isn't this Princess Ning? The fetus is so big, you don't stay in the mansion to raise the fetus, why do you come out and run around? If something goes wrong, it's not just you The loss of the Chu Palace, after all, you are still the blood of the Right Prime Minister's Palace."

Jing Se smiled, "Third Madam is right. I am the blood of the Right Prime Minister, but only the blood of my father, the Right Prime Minister, and not your blood. My father has never said anything. Why are you so anxious?"

"You!" Liu Shi immediately looked anxiously.

Jingse, this little hoof, has become more and more articulate since she got married. Every time, she can't please her.

With so many people present, and as the concubine candidate Jing Shudi's aunt, she certainly didn't want to lose face because of this, otherwise she would not be able to get along in the circle of nobles in the future.

"Your father is not here." Liu Shi calmed down a bit, "I, as the third aunt, naturally said this because I was worried about you. Besides, I said these things just to convey my heart for your father. Why do you bother to say it?" Just aggressive? Let outsiders think that I, the third aunt, dare to bully you, a princess!"

The implication is that even if you want to bully, it is Princess Ning who bullies others. It is absolutely impossible for her, a small fourth-rank respected member of the Liu family, to bully the princess. joke.

How can Jing Se, who is so delicate and transparent, not be able to hear the meaning behind Liu's words, she smiled very politely, with a friendly voice, "Then Aunt Lao is worried, in fact, you You can rest assured, I have a husband, mother-in-law and little concubine to take care of me in Chu Palace, but I am not like my fourth sister, who is alone in the family temple and has no one to rely on. When winter came last year, I didn’t know her thin body Can my son survive, alas! What a pity, if the third aunt is too busy to see her, I will send some rice, quilts and some clothes to her some other day when I have free time. A little bit of kindness from my cousin, I hope that my fourth sister will soon recover and return home to reunite with my third aunt and daughter."

These words unknowingly pulled Jing Shurao out, and slapped Liu's face severely.

The wives and daughters of the aristocratic family who came successively from all around looked at Liu Shi with mocking eyes.

Although it has been more than a year since Jing Shurao's incident, as soon as they hear the corners, others can immediately think of the whole story.

Because of this kind of thing, there has never been anyone before or since, except for Jing Shurao, which is simply horrifying to those who hear it.

It is impossible for someone like Jing Shurao to marry in this life.

He was not defiled by others, but was defiled by a water snake. Who would dare to want such a person?Marrying her is equivalent to digging a cesspit to bury the faces of eighteen generations of ancestors.

Liu's face turned blue and white, looking at Jing Se with cannibal eyes like a female leopard about to get angry.

Jing Se is fearless. She has done a lot of things like picking words and slapping people in the face. Last time in the Chu Palace, she dared to shame Mrs. Jing in front of Princess Chu. It doesn't make sense to be in front of everyone today. You have to suffer this dull loss because you want to save face.

She Jingse can eat anything, but she will never suffer.

Jing Shudi secretly tugged at Liu Shi's sleeve, "Mother, the time for the palace banquet is approaching, we have to hold on tight, otherwise we will make people laugh if we are late."

Mrs. Jing once again saw Jing Se's eloquence and vengeance with her own eyes. She secretly hated her, but now she had no choice but to walk down Jing Shudi's steps. It's about to start, don't waste any more time here, girl Se, someone will take care of her, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, the group of three quickly walked to the gate of the imperial city.

Ning pulled Su Ying over and said with a frown: "Girl Se, there are too many monsters and ghosts in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It's hard for you to endure it all these years."

Yin Xiangsi took over the words, "Our sister-in-law is not the one who can be beaten or scolded. She has a poisonous mouth. Didn't Mrs. Su see that Mrs. Jing's face was distorted by my sister-in-law just now, almost She came here to seek revenge from my sister-in-law, which shows that my sister-in-law has never taken these people seriously, and dealing with them is not just a matter of casual lip service."

Ning sneered, "Little Princess, you are really humorous."

Yin Xiangsi raised her eyebrows and was noncommittal. The reason why she said this was that she didn't want Jing Se to care about those low-level people before, and the second was that she didn't want people from Jing Se's ancestral family to worry about her.

Jing Se could tell that Yin Xiangsi was protecting her.

Smiling, she said: "Third aunt doesn't need to worry. Acacia is right. I haven't paid attention to those people. Since they don't treat me as a human being, I don't need to smile with them. They hurt me all the time." I will pay back ten times as much!"

Su Ying took Jing Se's hand, her small face was full of distress, "I used to think that the eldest cousin was very favored in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but now I realize that the people over there are just doing the same thing in person and behind the scenes. I always try to show face to outsiders, but in fact they all have dirty intentions, big cousin don't want to be as knowledgeable as them, lest you get angry and make your body move."

Jing Se responded with a smile, but said in his heart: It's not my style to not be as knowledgeable as those who bully me.

Liu Shi was openly ridiculing her in front of such a person, how could she return it with a virtuous and generous attitude?

It's just that being fussy with Mrs. Liu doesn't mean she's angry. It's really not worth it to be angry for these people. She just wants to slap Mrs. Liu in the face and see if Mrs. Liu can hold her head up in front of the wives of the aristocratic families in the future.

Princess Chu just came back after greeting the wives of several big families and saw Mrs. Jing and the others had already left first. She immediately came over and looked at Jing Se nervously, "Girl Se, do you care?"

"Mother, I'm fine." Jing Se's brows and eyes are full of tenderness, which is completely different from her previous attitude towards her natal family.

Concubine Chu saw that her eyebrows were stretched, and she didn't show any resentment at all. One could imagine that Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Jing San definitely didn't please her well, so she slowly calmed down and urged: "It's not early , let's go in quickly."

"Well, good." After greeting Ning Shi and Su Ying, Jing Se let Yin Xiangsi walk with Princess Chu arm in arm.

Fan Chen and Fan Yue stood at the entrance.

Seeing Jing Se approaching, Fan Yue gave her a thumbs up, raised his eyebrows and smiled in praise, "As expected of my sister-in-law, this slap in the face and hurting people is still so terrific."

Yin Xiangsi sneered, "You don't even look at who my brother is, how can the woman he personally picks be an ordinary person?"

Fan Yue rubbed his nose and said for a while, "Master has a good eye too, the woman I picked is good in every way."

Yin Xiangsi gave him a look of "this is not bad".

After listening to Princess Chu, she laughed, "A Yue, you'd better only use your mouth in front of Xiangsi, otherwise if you use it on other people, don't say that Xiangsi doesn't forgive you, even a mother like me can't forgive you."

Fan Yue's face was full of resentment, "Why am I the one who takes the blame every time? Mother, you are very unfair, the boss will also say nice things to his sister-in-law, why don't you say that he is glib? Being hurt by you makes me ashamed to see others, Xiao Qi, you have to say something for my husband at a time like this."

"Well, that's true." Yin Xiangsi nodded, "Who made you my husband?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Princess Chu, "Mother, you are absolutely right. If I find out that he dares to talk sweetly to the woman next to me, I will punish him to kneel down on ice."

Fan Yue's face turned dark immediately.

Yin Xiangsi didn't even look at him, and followed Jing Se and the others directly into the room.

Fan Yue stomped his feet angrily, turned around and followed.

*
Because of the large number of people, the banquet was held in the imperial garden, and men and women were separated.

When Jing Se and the others came, more than half of the people were already seated at the table, and a palace maid came to lead Jing Se, Princess Chu and Yin Xiangsi to the female family table, and led Fan Chen and Fan Yue to the male guest table.

Because it was a concubine selection feast, there were especially many people at the women's family seat. At a glance, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes, rich in fat and pink, and they were all charming.

Gongsun Erruo was also among them, but she was not a candidate, but a special trip to the banquet as the regent's fiancée.

Jing Se noticed sensitively that since Yin Xiangsi came over, Gongsun Erruo's vicious eyes have been flying here.

With a sneer, Jing Se looked at Yin Xiangsi, "It seems that the little baby hasn't forgotten your revenge for her husband!"

"That would be the best."

Yin Xiangsi smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, "I like to see people hate me to the bone but feel helpless against me. If I remember correctly, she is still wearing a veil because I threw a whip on her face. I didn't expect Ah, such a heavy whip still can't make her memory long, it seems that she will have to use more force in the future."

Helping Jing Se to sit down slowly, Yin Xiangsi also sat down beside her, and the two of them sat right in front of Gongsun Erruo.

Because the two seats were not far apart, Gongsun Erruo heard Yin Xiangsi's deliberately raised voice.

Gongsun Erruo immediately gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought of how he was humiliated that day.

Yin Xiangsi could imagine the expression of the poisonous doll behind without turning her head.

Smiling softly, she continued: "For the kind of shameless person who kills other people's children and then pushes the crime on others, the Princess of the princess has never been soft-hearted. Sigh, since I got married, I haven't touched him for a long time. I have used poisonous things, and I will get some poisonous snakes and baskets of poisonous scorpions to play with, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Although Jing Se knew that Yin Xiangsi said these words deliberately to Gongsun Erruo, she still couldn't help but twitch, "I'm not very interested in those things, if you like them, you can find them yourself, don't Call me, or you will scare the baby in my belly, and I will never end with you!"

"How can you be scared?" When Yin Xiangsi said this, he deliberately turned his head to look deeply at Gongsun Erruo, who was holding the teacup's knuckles and his white lips were trembling, and smiled, "Even if you want to be scared, you can't be scared." To scare those femme fatales who are plotting against others all day long, isn't she very poisonous? This princess wants to see who is more poisonous than my poisonous scorpion!"

Gongsun Erruo originally still hated Yin Xiangsi for marrying Fan Yue, but she didn't expect this woman to know that she had killed her unborn child.

Hearing Yin Xiangsi's intentional or unintentional threatening words at this moment, Gongsun Erruo's whole body was like falling into a cellar of ice. It was clearly a sunny day in May, but she was shivering all over.

When it comes to diabolical means, Gongsun Erruo boasted that she had two skills when she was in Man Luo, but unfortunately she met Yin Xiangsi.

Yin Xiangsi is a person who plays with poison. In this point alone, Gongsun Erruo has lost her by not a single bit.

Thinking that Yin Xiangsi might really use the poisonous snake and scorpion in her mouth to deal with him, Gongsun Erruo's scalp became numb, his eyes became weak, and he couldn't sit still.

"Sister Jingse." A crisp voice came from beside her.

Jing Se tilted her head, and saw Gu Xiaoxiao in a cherry pink palace attire, dressed cutely and cutely, looking at herself with her tongue out.

Jing Se smiled slightly, "Xiaoxiao?"

Seeing that she was willing to talk to her, Gu Xiaoxiao sat down slowly, first glanced at Jing Se's swollen belly, and then asked, "How's your sister doing in the past six months?"

"Okay." Jing Se heard the voice and replied, "What about you? Has anyone bullied you in the past six months?"

"It's gone." Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "With my third brother here, no one dares to bully me."

"So cute." Jing Se laughed and praised, she knew that Gu Xiaoxiao must have done as she ordered, and would bring Gu Beiyu out when she was being bullied.

It's rare for this little girl to grow up so big and still retain her pure heart.

It was the first time that Jingse, who was used to all kinds of conspiracies and sinister people, wanted to protect such a heart, and did not want it to be tarnished in the slightest.

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at Jing Se's belly again, and asked curiously, "Does the baby live here?"

"Ah."

Gu Xiaoxiao's face was full of joy, "I'm really curious what he looks like."

Yin Xiangsi raised his eyebrows and took the words, "What else can it look like? If it's a boy, it will look like a banished fairy like our Royal Highness King Ning. If it's a girl, it'll be like my sister-in-law!"

Seeing Yin Xiangsi, Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then remembered that she had saved herself once in the Royal Garden last year, and immediately laughed: "So it's the little princess, Xiaoxiao was rude."

Yin Xiangsi rubbed his chin, "You look much plumper, whiter and tender than last year. You must have had a good time in the past six months."

Gu Xiaoxiao's ears turned red with embarrassment, "It's all thanks to Third Brother."

"That's not bad." Yin Xiangsi said: "At least your third brother is gentle and considerate." Unlike her, her brother Bo Qinghuan is simply poisonous, and it seems that his mouth will feel uncomfortable every time he doesn't speak ill of her.

Mentioning Gu Beiyu, Gu Xiaoxiao proudly said: "Third Brother is indeed the most kind-hearted person in the world."

"Oh, by the way." She seemed to suddenly realize the purpose of today's palace banquet at this time, and looked at Jing Se nervously, "Sister, the third brother is going to choose a concubine today, you have to check for him yourself in a while, don't Let him choose the wrong person, so as not to regret for life."

"This question! I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Jing Se said: "After all, I don't know what kind of girl he likes. If he doesn't like what I like, wouldn't it be useless?"

Gu Xiaoxiao wringed her fingers anxiously, "Then what should I do, if he chooses someone with a bad heart, wouldn't he be miserable for the rest of his life?"

Jing Se reassured: "You, as a younger sister, don't need to worry about this kind of problem. Bei Yu is a smart person. He can tell which of the candidate girls present has brains and which has no brains."

Gu Xiaoxiao was slightly relieved, and forced a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go back to the banquet first, sister remembers not to drink alcohol."

"Yeah." Jing Se nodded, not to mention that she couldn't drink, she didn't plan to eat any food at the table today.

Although there is Yin Xiangsi, who is good at poison, beside her, Jing Se still can't help worrying. After all, not all poisons can be detected by naked eyes and sense of smell. It won't happen immediately, but once it encounters an introduction, it can kill in an instant.

Jing Se doesn't want to eat indiscriminately at such a crowded occasion like a palace banquet, which will cause unpredictable consequences to herself. After all, there are too many dangers around her, so she might as well not do it.

"The Emperor is here—"

"The empress dowager arrived—"

"The empress dowager arrived—"

"The Regent arrives—"

After shouting several times in a row, the little emperor came towards this side on the imperial chariot, behind him were the empress dowager and the imperial chariot of the empress dowager.

Gu He walked on foot.

Originally, the emperor was still so young, and a regent like Gu He, who was both father and mother, could have accompanied the little emperor sitting on the imperial chariot to greet him, but the reality was that Gu He would rather walk than go up to be with the little emperor. Sitting, invisibly and directly avoiding the criticism of others.

Jing Se thought to himself, Gu He has a very delicate mind, and he can consider everything in every aspect, so that he won't lose face, and won't make people think that he has monopolized the court and is suspected of overstepping the rules.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

The Empress Dowager got off the imperial chariot and said "Peace", and the family members of the officials got up one after another, and then took their seats after the little emperor, the regent, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

The food at the little emperor's table was different from that of everyone else. Although he hadn't attended the table yet, there were already a lot of snacks on his royal case. After all, he was only two years old, so everyone could understand.

As soon as he sat down, he stretched out his fat little hands to grab the crispy pineapple balls on the plate.

The empress dowager frowned, "Zizhan, the banquet has not yet started. As the emperor, how can you be so casual as an example to the world?"

Gu Zizhan withdrew his hand resentfully, Yuxue's face was a little aggrieved.

The Empress Dowager also looked over and coaxed: "Little great-grandson, let's have a feast later, you can eat whatever you want, okay?"

Gu Zizhan pointed at him, looked down at the regent Gu He, flattened his mouth, and said, "Little uncle, come here."

As we all know, this little emperor is not close to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, he only clings to the Regent, no matter what he does, he will always be a "little uncle".

At the beginning, all the officials were quite critical, but as time passed, they found that the regent treated the little emperor like his own son. He should give a lot of family affection and education, and the way he teaches is very Unique, always use a method that children can fully accept and absorb, instead of forcing him to read, read and learn imperial skills.

If other people don't know, they may really think that the little emperor is the regent's real life.

Gu Gandang once guarded for several months in order to catch the regent, but found nothing.

When Gu He heard the little emperor calling him, he slowly stood up and walked up, "Why is the emperor calling the humble minister?"

"Yangyang wants my little uncle to sit next to me." The little emperor's dark round eyes were full of anticipation.

He doesn't like the imperial grandmother, nor the great-grandmother, only the little uncle can make him feel close and warm.

Hearing this sentence, the empress dowager's expression turned ugly, she couldn't figure it out, it's fine if the two-year-old little emperor doesn't get close to her, the empress dowager, or even his dear grandmother Jing Taifei, How could he get close to Gu He, a clan prince who came out halfway.

Simply baffling.

Gu He ignored the Empress Dowager's gaze, smiled and said to the little emperor, "Your Majesty, today is a special occasion, and I cannot sit next to you."

The little emperor's mouth became even more flattened.

"However." Gu He changed the subject, "If the emperor can sit obediently until the rest of the banquet, I will prepare a gift for you in a while."

"What is it?" The little emperor was very curious, and now he didn't even think about the snacks on the table, and his eyes were full of the "gift" that Gu He said.

Gu He often prepares him educational toys for children, many of which come from the common people, which are not common in the court, but the little emperor is just interested in these gadgets, and Gu He has to teach him to play them thoroughly before giving up. .

"Lu Bansuo." Gu He said softly.

The little emperor had never heard of Lubansuo, so he tilted his head, "Lubansuo? Is it fun to have Jiulianhuan and Huarongdao?"

"It's more interesting than that." Gu He said: "The premise is that Your Majesty will be good for a while, and such things as Luban locks can't be solved by bad children."

The little emperor immediately puffed out his chest and promised, "Little uncle, Yang Yang is very good."

"Well, sit back obediently, and I'll give it to you after the table is over." Gu He smiled dotingly on him.

Hearing that there were interesting things, and then being so frightened by Gu He, the little emperor was not so good, his saliva was withdrawn, and he was no longer interested in the snacks on the table.

Seeing that Gu He coaxed her little great-grandson around with a few words, the Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning again, "The emperor is only two years old, playing with Luban locks, who can take responsibility when he is tired?"

Gu He knew that the Empress Dowager was deliberately targeting him, but he just smiled and said nothing.

He didn't know how the previous emperors were, but he knew that the two-year-old little emperor was getting smarter day by day under his training. With a quick brain, at the age of only two years old, he already has intelligence beyond that of children of the same age. If he continues to develop, he will become a king of great talents in the future, but it is a pity that he...

Thinking of this, Gu He's eyes darkened slightly, he turned his eyes away, bowed and retreated to his seat.

After taking over this time, the two protagonists of today's palace banquet came immediately after.

Xian Wang Gu Beiyu, Mu Wang Gu Gan.

Gu Beiyu is much more mature than last year, with a restrained edge, a light smile on his face, and deep eyes that make it impossible to see to the bottom at a glance.

Seeing Jing Se, he no longer revealed his emotions easily as before, but just smiled and found his seat and sat down.

Gu Qian took a deep look at Jing Se, and then at Fan Chen, the jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes turned into raging anger, which could almost burn people.

Fan Chen felt it, but he was too lazy to talk to Gu Gan.

After saluting those above, Gu Gan also took his seat.

Eunuch Zhao Dabao, who had been standing beside the little emperor, announced the opening of the banquet with a shrill voice.

Immediately, maidservants in pink came in with delicacies.

The whole banquet was filled with the aroma of wine.

Today is the Concubine Selection Banquet, everyone knows it well, so no singers and dancers are arranged to come to add to the fun, Zhao Dabao directly took the list of candidate princesses presented by the Ministry of Rituals to Gu Qian and Gu Beiyu for review, with the intention of making this The two hand-picked the order of appearance of the girls in the talent show.

Gu Beiyu looked indifferent, and said with a smile, "Since I let everyone stay, everyone will be fair. As for who will appear first, Eunuch Zhao will make arrangements for himself."

Gu Gan didn't speak, he took the roster and looked through it twice, but couldn't find the sixth lady of the British government named "Yanzhi".

Frowning deeply, Gu Gan's eyes turned sharp, and he looked up at Zhao Dabao, "Eunuch Zhao, are you sure that all the candidates are on the list?"

Zhao Dabao said: "When the people from the Ministry of Rites handed in the list, the slaves asked it several times, and they said they had confirmed everything."

"Then why is there no Miss Six from the British government?" Gu Qian's eyes became colder, feeling as if he was being played by someone.

Zhao Dabao thought for a while, "My servant heard that the Sixth Miss of the British government had injured herself to the point of breaking her appearance because of practicing sword dance. The British government had sent someone to notify her a long time ago. She was afraid of polluting the eyes of the two highnesses, so she voluntarily abstained." .”

"Voluntary abstention?" Gu Gan lowered his eyebrows, obviously hearing the clues from these four words.

Even if Miss Six was injured and recuperated until now, isn't it true that she still hasn't recovered?Although the British Duke's House has a title, it has no real power, and is an upstart in the court, and has no achievements in founding a country. Therefore, it is not comparable to a big family like the Jin Kingdom's Duke's House that holds military power and military exploits.

It stands to reason that the Sixth Miss could be selected, which should be something that the British government dreamed of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but now she voluntarily abstained from voting. There is definitely something strange in it!
When Yan Zhi didn't come, Gu Gan immediately lost interest in the concubine selection banquet, and handed the candidate list to Zhao Dabao, drinking wine sullenly.

Gu Beiyu raised his eyebrows, "Fourth Brother, does this mean that Miss Six will not let go?"

Gu Gan smiled, noncommittal.

The reason why he fell in love with Yan Zhi was because he felt that the clear and cold eyes in her eyes were very similar to Jing Se.

If he can't get Jingse for the time being, he will find a substitute first.

Gu Beiyu looked away from him, why didn't he see that what Gu Gan was looking for was Yan Zhi's stubborn and unyielding eyes?

Gu Beiyu understood better that Gu Gan felt that Yan Zhi's coldness was very much like Cousin Jingse's.

Sneering secretly, Gu Beiyu shook his head. Cousin Jingse has already become the mother of two children, but Gu Gan still doesn't let go, he is really asking for his own death.

Leaning on the table, Gu Beiyu raised his eyebrows, "Fourth brother, I knew why I was doing it today? Someone once worked hard for you, turning you from a sick and weak prince who was ridiculed by everyone in the palace to a man who is under one man and above ten thousand people." The prince of the East Palace, she treats you with a lot of affection, and the kindness she gives you is even more generous, but you are wolf-hearted, with shallow eyelids, and sent her to the underworld with your own hands for your own selfish desires. How did you treat her at that time, now Fengshui turns, Others will treat you in the same way, this is what Buddhism calls karma."

Gu Gan looked coldly, "Gu Beiyu, don't talk nonsense here, I'll give you a copy carefully, and charge you with the crime of slander and frame!"

Although his eyes were cold, Gu Qian was suspicious and apprehensive in his heart. How did Gu Beiyu know that it was Xia Mu who assisted him back then?
Gu Beiyu once asked the first emperor to marry Xia Mu in public, but Xia Mu declined.

Gu Gan knew about this, could it be that Gu Beiyu's friendship with Xia Mu was so deep that he could know her every move?
Gu Beiyu hooked his lips, "I remember Xia Mu said something when he was executed that day."

Gu Qian's heart trembled.

"She said that without her, Xia Mu, you would never be able to sit on the supreme position. Now that I think about it, this sentence is like a prophecy."

Gu Beiyu smiled lightly, as if he didn't see the murderous look in Gu Gan's eyes.

Gu Gan clenched his fists tightly. He still remembered what Xia Mu said on the execution ground that day, but he didn't care at all.

That woman dared to threaten him when she was about to die, she simply didn't know what to say!
Ah!So what if she, Xia Mu, had great supernatural powers, and she died under his careful design in the end.

Thinking of this, Gu Qian slowly calmed down and put on a smile, "So, the end of the mouth is that the whole family will be buried with her. If she doesn't say that, the king may still intercede for her. It's a pity, She doesn't know people."

The murderous intent in Gu Beiyu's eyes was hidden very well, with a faint smile on his face, "Why didn't you say that if Xia Mu hadn't died, you would be the emperor now?"

Thinking of Xia Mu's tragic death, Gu Beiyu wished he could dig up the late emperor's grave, and let Gu Gan and his right-handed uncle taste the feeling that life would be worse than death.

Because Gu Beiyu and Gu Qian were going to choose concubines later, their seats were set up separately, not with other people. What they said in this room, the rest of the people could not hear them.

Gu Gan's face was ugly, "You like Xia Mu so much, why don't you go down to accompany her?"

Gu Beiyu sneered, "If I want to accompany her, it is the fourth brother who owes her to accompany me. Naturally, I will live hard to fulfill this wish for her."

Gu Gan narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Gu Beiyu, you are openly opposing me!"

Unexpectedly, when the first emperor passed away, Gu Beiyu would reveal his fox tail, which caught people off guard.

Gu Beiyu shrugged, "Could it be that the two of us have stood on the same front before?"

Up to now, for Gu Beiyu, it's okay to tear his face apart. Sooner or later, he and Gu Qian will have such a day. Besides, what Gu Qian did today really made Gu Beiyu feel uncomfortable.

Gu Qian still wanted to refute, but Zhao Dabao had already shouted the order of the girls' entrance.

The first person to come up was Ms. Shen from Cheng'anbo's residence, and a piece of guqin music gurgling like a clear spring won a lot of applause.

Gu Beiyu lowered his brows while drinking, Gu Qian lacked interest, and didn't even cast a glance at him. Seeing the expressions of the two Highnesses, Miss Shen knew that she had no hope of being selected, so she sadly retreated with her Guqin in her arms.

The second person to come up was Luoyou, the daughter of the Shangshu Family of Hubu.

She hangs her head slightly, holding the pipa halfway, her ten fingers are long and slender, and her shells are round. After tuning, she caresses the strings with her fingertips, grasps them lightly and slowly, and the tone is as luscious as pearls and jade falling on a plate.

Gu Qian raised his eyes and saw that this woman was Luo You who was going to be given to him by the late emperor to be the crown princess, but Gu Gan didn't look at her directly at that time, but now that he looked closely, she was quite pretty, and the pipa was also very beautiful. She plays well, but what attracts Gu Qian even more is that she has an inexplicable aura around her that is somewhat similar to Jing Se.

Luo You felt that someone was watching her, she slowly raised her head, but saw that Gu Beiyu had never glanced at her from the beginning to the end, instead, it was Mu Wang Gu Gan who kept staring at her.

Frowning slightly, Luo You withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at anyone.

Her actions obviously angered Gu Gan.

It turns out that Luo You likes Gu Beiyu?
With a thought, Gu Gan pushed Gu Beiyu, "What do you think of this woman, Brother Huang?"

Gu Beiyu didn't understand why Gu Qian suddenly became interested in Luo You, he glanced lazily, "Okay! He looks good, plays the pipa well, and has a better figure."

Gu Qian was in deep thought for a while.

Most of the noble ladies who came to participate in the election today are ready to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. In other words, no matter which one of him and Gu Beiyu chooses, those women are happy, but like Luo You It is rare to directly lock one of them.

Thinking of this, Gu Qian coldly pursed his lips. If the woman who likes Gu Beiyu is married to him, will she go crazy?Will he hate Gu Beiyu for this?

Interesting to think about!

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Gu Gan said: "Since Brother Huang also thinks it's very good, then I will choose her."

To him, Princess Mu is just an empty title, it is the same for anyone.

These words faintly passed into Luo You's ears, and she felt a burst of despair, and suddenly fell into a freezing hell.

When she was a child, she entered the palace for the first time to attend a palace banquet and saw Gu Beiyu at the first sight, Luo You secretly vowed that he would not marry him in this life, and she had been secretly in love with him for so many years, she never dared to reveal half of her thoughts, Afraid of being rejected and making others laugh at her, she practiced the song "Pipa Language" almost non-stop until she broke her fingers for this candidate, in order to stand out among all the noble ladies. Bei Yu's favor, but she never expected that even though she had worked so hard, Gu Bei Yu would still treat her with contempt.

Doesn't he remember the little girl who accompanied him to Taoyuan to pick peaches and steal them when he was a child?

Biting her lower lip, Luo You carefully looked at Gu Beiyu, but the other party just happened to look at her, but her expression didn't change, she seemed to be looking at a stranger.

Luo You's heart sank to the bottom, holding back the tears in her eyes, she stood up and retreated.

Gu Qian had already selected someone, and when the noble ladies came up to perform again, he just focused on drinking and eating, and didn't pay much attention.

Gu Beiyu felt even more boring.

Today, this Xian Wangfei must be chosen. In his opinion, he can choose anyone, but he just can’t say who to choose, or he hasn’t seen a princess who can make him shine a little bit and is willing to give her the princess. girl.

"There is only the last one left, Brother Huang still has a hard time making a choice?" Gu Qian raised his glass and looked over, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "In my opinion, you might as well take them all back, since your virtuous mansion is empty anyway. , wouldn't it be better to have a few more flowery and beauties to accompany you?"

Gu Beiyu remained silent.

Take them all back?

This guy Gu Gan said it nicely, these girls today are all noble girls, serious daughters-in-law, they are willing to be concubines?

Squeezing between his brows, Gu Beiyu said, "Since there is only the last one left, let's be the last one."

"You dare to ask for it before everyone has even appeared?" Gu Gan mocked even more.

"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Beiyu was very dissatisfied.

Zhao Dabao shouted the last girl's name loudly.

"Next, I invite Su Ying, the Fourth Miss of Duke Jin's Mansion—"

After hearing this, Gu Gan's expression changed immediately.

 Cool beauty

  When Qingmei fell from the plum tree into Wen Junhao's arms, he hugged her and frowned slightly: "You are young, but your weight is not light. Please give me your life for saving my life!"

  Qingmei smiled: "This uncle is not beautiful, but he thinks he is pretty! It's like not having much money, but he wants to buy a lot."

  Facing Qingmei's three obediences and four virtues, Wen Junhao smiled dotingly: "My daughter-in-law is not tall, but her requirements are quite high."

  Qingmei smiled brightly: "Uncle, if you don't agree, you should call me Miss Xu!"

  "As long as you marry me, it doesn't matter if I promise you my whole life!"

  For Qingmei, the most beautiful encounter is seeing Jun Hao and missing her life.
