Chapter 206: The Storm of the Palace Selection (2)
The dozens of people selected in the final palace basically belong to the dragon and phoenix ranks among people. Among them, the high-status people are headed by Luo Lixi, Xiao Xuefeng, Bo Tang and others from the official family, while among the civilians The ones chosen were relatively divergent.
The five local powers that have to be mentioned are the Wei, Chi, Tang, Li, and Guyue families. Apart from this, most of the others occupy a place with their extremely beautiful faces.
This is completely in line with the original selection requirements of Emperor Yue, either powerful or handsome.
The Queen Mother estimated that she just didn’t know how many concubines Emperor Yue planned to keep this time.
Nowadays, the harem is empty. If all the male emperors in the past could stay, there would be no problem. However, the empress is more particular. She is afraid that she will be tired of the gods. She thinks about... leaving only one male empress, one imperial concubine, two concubines, and the imperial concubine. Four people, six concubines?
Although everyone is staring at the queen, they all know that this matter is very mysterious. Because Emperor Yue’s life experience is bizarre and her temperament is unknown, they are not sure what this empress’s preferences are and what she will do. What a decision.
Not only them, but also those imperial officials who were ready to make a move were holding back, not daring to place bets at will, for fear that one of them would misunderstand the holy will and be accused of colluding with the harem.
"Get up."
A woman's soft and clear voice sounded, but it was different from the humble and humble voice of ordinary women. Instead, she smiled casually and calmly, reaching her ears, and even more There is a feeling of invigoration.
This is Emperor Yue. Their power in Jingguo is supreme?
Some people couldn't help but quietly raised their eyes, but after taking a glance, they quickly lowered their eyes for fear of bumping into the saint.
... I never expected that Emperor Yue looked like this.
Completely different from what they imagined.
She doesn’t have the killing power, nor does she have the majestic and domineering look of the emperor.
Her pure charm is like holding incense in front of the Buddha, transcending the beauty of the skin, but condensing the immortal beauty of her soul.
In short, if she hadn't been sitting on the supreme throne, they would have thought that she was an ascended god who had fallen into the human world. Although they respected her, they did not dare to blaspheme her.
Seeing Xu Shanshan again can be said to be a journey over mountains and ridges, thousands of miles away, and a test, especially for the four people who were almost brushed off.
Li Heye looked at her who had become the emperor, and was confused and confused. Seeing her again after a few months was so strange and far away.
Not only did he feel this way, but so did several other people.
Chi Jiangdong stared at her, his eyes sad and a little dazed. He thought to himself, had she seen him coming?
There must be, even if she can't see it among this group of people, could it be that she didn't see the palace selection list?
Now that I saw it, why did Xie Yujin do something dirty to get rid of them, but she didn't do anything?
Did she really take the breakup of the engagement seriously, or did she dislike him for coming to the election out of passion and didn't want to see him?
The anxiety, shame, and doubt in my heart all turned into a boyish stubbornness.
He won't lose to those men no matter what!
"Your Majesty, all the outstanding men chosen by the palace are here. You can ask them to raise their heads one by one. After looking carefully, if there are any who are satisfied, you can directly confer the title."
Xie Yujin's voice did not distinguish between happiness and anger. He glanced at the handsome men who were "dressed up". Today, these people were all dressed up carefully, just to win His Majesty's favor and rise to the top.
But are they worthy?
“Come forward one by one and let His Majesty and the Aijia have a good look.”
The Empress Dowager now looks at these handsome men, just like a mother-in-law looks at a son-in-law. The more she looks at them, the more satisfied she becomes. She remembers that she was still in the chosen position, and this is the first time she has experienced the joy of being a man.
A group of beautiful men stood there, each with their own attractive features, just like people walking in the sea of spring flowers, with colorful flowers blooming one after another, making people dizzy and beautiful.
"My God, these are all pretty good. Which one do you like?" the Queen Mother asked tentatively.
Everyone's thoughts are unified on that person who is as calm as the foundation of an ancient temple, but her expression is as peaceful as a beautiful tranquil picture, which makes people feel so unreal.
Xu Shanshan pointed his slender finger at someone in the crowd. If it was random...it might also have been chosen early.
The figure of the handsome man was immediately revealed. He was dressed in green clothes that complemented his fair skin. Although his facial features were not very superior, he had a pair of passionate and seductive peach blossom eyes. Coupled with his beautiful and rosy lips, he stood out at first sight.
"You stand up."
Everyone's eyes fell on that person, their eyes were burning, some were jealous, some were envious, some were confused, and some were calm.
The man was obviously frightened. He stood still for a moment before reacting.
"Young citizen Yao Hui, I have met Your Majesty."
His hands were sweating, and he stepped forward to salute. His lowered head and curved back formed a tight posture. The bow was shaped like it could break at any moment... This was not the state of someone who wanted to be favored.
“Raise your head and let Gu Haosheng take a look.”
A very gentle and pleasant voice, like the sound of Sanskrit in the forest, gurgled from her lips. It was pure and peaceful, but there was no Not letting Yao Hui feel any relaxation, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and then he raised his head stiffly.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty~”
Xu Shanshan's dark eyes hid a tranquility as deep as a pool. She smiled softly: "Are you scared or nervous?"
"I, I was terrified when I first saw the holy face." Yao Hui said quickly. .
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. She said to Xu Shanshan dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, he is so timid and timid that it is difficult for him to be elegant. You should choose another one."
< br>The house is full of gold and jade, why did Shen'er choose such a stone?
Yao Hui obviously also knew that his performance dissatisfied those in high positions. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "I am ashamed to see the holy face, I am ashamed..."
Xu Shanshan suddenly stood up. As soon as she moved, everyone's hearts moved.
“Shen’er?” The Empress Dowager was slightly surprised, but she didn’t stop anyone.
Xu Shanshan walked forward and came to Yao Hui. When he was about to reach out to him -
"Your Majesty, this action is against the rules."
Xie Yujin A cold and restrained voice sounded urgently behind him.
At the same time, in front of Yao Hui, several hands stretched out to stop Xu Shanshan's approach.
I saw Li Yehe, Chi Jiangdong, and Wei Canghao moving their positions, their faces livid, their breathing tight, and their unnatural expressions and body movements, as if she had really picked Yao Hui. , they don’t know what they will do.
Nangong Fei stared at Yao Hui with cold eyes. The water condensation needle in his hand was about to come out, hoping that Yao Hui would die suddenly and silently.
And Nangong Yu has been waiting with complicated thoughts. He originally thought that Xu Shanshan would stop her eyes on him, but she never saw him from beginning to end.
Now she was attracted to a man with a pink face and oily hair. His whole body was stiff, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting her to see him.
He suddenly understood the concubines in the harem. Some of them may not have any love for the emperor at all, but for their own purposes, they had to compete for and invite favors.
Because once they really disappear from the public, they will never be able to stand out.
