Chapter 492

Sitting beside the empress dowager, Luo qingluan also had the pleasure of joking for the first time.

She once attended a palace banquet with the following draft girls. At that time, her identity was far inferior and was ridiculed by everyone. But at this meeting, she was already high above, sitting side by side with the Empress Dowager of the Western Chu emperor. If she didn't know, I'm afraid she would still think she was the queen.

Luo qingluan felt comfortable just looking at the faces of a bunch of beautiful women below, especially those of Wei Chi Lianqing and others.

Beside her, the Queen Mother whispered, "Your Majesty, it's almost time."

The eunuch who waited on the side looked at Nangong Qing's face, and then said in a sharp voice, "Li Shuyun, granddaughter of the state of Wei, is sixteen years old. See your majesty and Empress Dowager."

Immediately, there was a seeming commotion in the crowd. Li Shuyun's heart jumped. She had held her breath and walked up in good order. She knelt down and said, "xiunv Li Shuyun, I've seen your majesty and the Empress Dowager. I wish your majesty a long life and the Empress Dowager's blessings."

It's not the first time for Nangong Qing to choose a concubine. The Empress Dowager is in a trance and seems to have returned to the past. She smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "good, good." Nangong Qing looked up in time: "flat."

Li Shuyun stood up, but he didn't dare to look up. He put his hands in front of him and looked dignified.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Empress Dowager Wang turned to look at Nangong Qing and asked his opinion.

He was not interested in this selection. Nangong Qing wanted to choose at most a few sisters for the queen to pass the boring time. In fact, he didn't care whether these beautiful women were good or beautiful.

Just then, an eunuch came quickly and whispered in the ear of Nangong, "Your Majesty, your royal highness is coming."

Nangong Qing said, "Wan'er?"

Empress Dowager Wang naturally heard it and was a little strange: "this Wan'er doesn't know that today is the selection day. What is she doing here?" But then he laughed again, "that's all. Your majesty, how about sending her in? I haven't seen Wan'er for a long time. I miss her very much."

The eunuch went there intentionally. A moment later, a hearty smile came all the way. Nangong Waner threw herself into the arms of Empress Dowager Wang like a butterfly wearing flowers: "empress mother, Waner hasn't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much..."

"Look at you, Wan'er. As a princess, why don't you look like a princess and don't you sit down yet." The wrinkles in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes were deeper, but her face was filled with a moving brilliance. It was obvious that she was very happy.

"I heard that the empress mother chose a concubine for the emperor's brother today. Wan'er was curious and came to have a look." Nangong Waner winked at Nangong Qing: "brother emperor, don't you blame Waner for coming uninvited?"

Nangong Qing smiled and shook her head. "When did I blame you? Wan'er, but if you want to come, you should tell the empress mother in advance. It's so windy and fiery. It doesn't have the appearance of a princess at all."

"The emperor's brother blamed me?" Nangong Wan'er gave a coquettish voice, pursed her lips and looked very cute. She gathered in the arms of Empress Dowager Wang to act as a coquettish: "empress mother, the children's ministers don't follow. The emperor's brother said Wan'er is not obedient. How can Wan'er be obedient?"

Empress Dowager Wang was overwhelmed by Nangong Waner's maternal love and couldn't close her mouth. During this time, she was too lonely. Nangong Waner smiled when she came. She suddenly felt that her whole heart was open.

Because of the sudden arrival of Nangong Waner, Luo qingluan looked at it calmly without any indication. Since Nangong Waner didn't even look at her, she wouldn't take the initiative to say hello to her. Defiant, would she lick her face to please? This is not her character.

Laughing for a while, Li Shuyun, who was cold below, was already numb. She has been served by the servant girl in every detail. She has never suffered. Now she kneels and stands for a long time. How can she stand it?

However, the people in front of her were the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and it was a day that determined her fate. Li Shuyun and the waiting xiunv did not dare to make any difference, so they had to exercise restraint and wait with their heads down.

In desperation, Li Shuyun finally came to mind. Once again, he worshipped: "beautiful woman Li Shuyun, see your royal highness."

"Well, it's Shuyun you?" Nangong Waner finally heard it.

Li Shuyun immediately distinguished air of elegance and coquetry. "Yes, the beautiful woman has not seen her Highness for a long time. Today, at first glance, the princess is more beautiful and graceful."

What this saying said was that it was almost obvious to flatter. Hearing Wei Chi Lianqing and other women, they couldn't help but feel sick. But Nangong Wan'er smiled and touched her hair and said proudly, "you can speak!"

She turned her head and looked at the Empress Dowager and said coquettishly, "the Empress Dowager also looked at this bun that Wan'er specially combed today. The Empress Dowager said whether it looks good? Is it much better than usual?"

"Wan'er combs everything. In her mother's heart, you are the most lovely." Empress Dowager Wang was in a good mood and couldn't close her smiling mouth.

Happy at heart, Nangong Waner was right in the heart and said to the empress dowager, "empress dowager, how about reading? She can talk so well. If she enters the palace and becomes the concubine of the emperor's brother, won't she make him happy every day? Empress dowager can also call her to talk. It's not boring. How nice."

Li Shuyun was excited, but he was more and more afraid to talk.

Empress Dowager Wang didn't expect Nangong Waner to say so. She had her own consideration and didn't express her opinion first. She only said to Nangong Qing, "Waner cares about you, your majesty, what do you think?"

"This......" Nangong Qing's face was embarrassed and didn't say it.

"Why, the emperor's brother thinks Shuyun is bad? What's bad? Why didn't Wan'er find out? Since Wan'er came today, she will help the emperor's brother choose well. The emperor's brother can rest assured. Wan'er's eyes must be good..."

Nangong Qing finally said, "Wan'er, you are a princess. It's better to see the opinions of the empress mother about choosing concubines." The implication is that Nangong Waner, as a woman, has not yet left the cabinet. It is really inappropriate for her to participate in the imperial concubine selection with such enthusiasm.

Nangong Waner was immediately wronged: "empress mother, Waner cares about the emperor's brother..."

"Well, Wan'er, your majesty is right. As a daughter's family, how can you understand these things? Don't look good, just talk. The affairs of the concubines in the harem are not only good-looking, but you are still young and don't understand."

Empress Dowager Wang touched Nangong Waner's hand and turned to look at Luo qingluan on the right: "qingluan, what do you say?"

Li Shuyun, who is standing below, is uncomfortable. Empress dowager Wang clearly doesn't listen to Nangong Waner. Her Majesty doesn't seem to have the heart to choose a concubine at all. Coming here is just a passing show. Whether she can be selected depends on what the Empress Dowager says. The Empress Dowager asked Luo qingluan. Is her fate really going to fall into Luo qingluan's hands?

At this moment, not only Li Shuyun, but also Wei Chi Lianqing became nervous.

Luo qingluan knew exactly what the queen mother meant.

Choosing concubines doesn't care about appearance, family, and even conversation. Isn't there only the last point left + easy to bear! From the reasons for this selection, we can know that empress dowager Su Yi was ill and worried that she could not raise her heir, so she expanded her harem. Otherwise, it will not be selected at this time.

If Li Shuyun is elected Nangong Qing's concubine, will it be a disaster or a blessing for Su Yi?

Thinking of this, Luo qingluan smiled: "if you return to the empress dowager, xiunv Li has a dignified appearance and a suitable family. If your majesty likes it, it is naturally suitable. And..."

These words were not very loud. She lowered her voice to the Empress Dowager's ear and whispered, "xiunv Li has a ruddy face, rich breasts and fat hips. If she gets Mu Enze, she will be pregnant with a dragon heir within a year."

"Seriously?" Empress Dowager Wang was very surprised. The more she saw Li Shuyun, the more pleasing she was to her eyes. Then she said, "well, your majesty, I think the child is good. It's better to stay."

Nangong Qing was noncommittal. Well, Li Shuyun's happy eyes lit up. He quickly thanked him and withdrew happily.

No one expected that the first one would be selected. The remaining beauties were more confident and secretly compared their appearance and family background with Li Shuyun, eager to try. Soon the eunuch shouted to the second man, "the daughter of Wen Kangning, deputy governor of the inspector's Academy, is gentle, sixteen years old."

When she called her gentle name, the remaining women couldn't help but envy. Some took the opportunity to observe at night, but they didn't move on the surface, bowed their heads and didn't speak, and were quiet.

Sure enough, Nangong Waner was the first to speak before others spoke. She took the Queen Mother's hand and said eagerly: "empress mother, this is Miss Wen, who is also very familiar with Waner. She plays the piano very well. Should she still remember?"

Empress Dowager Wang suddenly remembered the flower feast last year. It was for Nangong Qing, who was still the prince, to choose a concubine. At that time, it seemed that several women talked about the piano, but she couldn't remember clearly because Luo qingluan's song was so excellent.

"Oh, it's her." Empress Dowager Wang nodded.

Nangong Waner didn't know what to do. She kept saying nice and gentle words. She also said that she was gentle and lovely in front of Nangong Qing. She couldn't help raising her head and making eyes secretly.

"Empress mother, if you think Miss Wen is good, stay." Nangong Waner was coquettish again.

"Whether to stay or not depends on your royal brother, your majesty. What do you think?" Empress Dowager Wang didn't think much. Although she thought Nangong Waner was very enthusiastic, she thought she was also concerned about Nangong Qing. On the other hand, it was estimated to be fun, so she tried to attract her friends in. But it doesn't matter. As long as you can bear and raise, you can open more branches and leaves for the royal family.

Nangong Qing naturally had nothing to do with it. Soon, gentleness also stayed smoothly.

When the girls looked, their hearts beat even more. Two in a row, they were successfully left behind. I'm afraid they can at least seal a talented person. Once they go to bed, they are likely to become concubines and concubines. It's so smooth. The women are eager to call their names early. Some have already bought off the eunuchs. Those who know they are behind can't help worrying. If the queen mother has chosen enough in front of her majesty, isn't there less chance for those behind?

Can't more than a dozen people be selected?

Soon, Empress Dowager Wang left Zhuang Yulan, the daughter of Guanglu Temple minister, with the "recommendation" of Nangong Waner. Now, some people who have a good relationship with Nangong Waner suddenly become more and more proud, because they have a great chance of being selected. The remaining few who rarely deal with Nangong Waner are secretly worried, and some regret that they didn't make a good relationship with the princess earlier.

When the eunuch called the next girl up, Nangong Waner's eyes lit up: "empress mother, this is sister Lianqing. You won't forget it?"

Wei Chi Lianqing? How could the queen mother forget?

This beautiful girl was once her favorite candidate for the crown princess!

"Wei Chi Lianqing, daughter of Marquis Xuanping, knocks on your majesty and Empress Dowager. May your majesty have the spirit of dragon and horse and the Empress Dowager be in good health." Weichi Lianqing bowed down slowly, his eyes drooped slightly, and his pink cheeks were still pitiable.
