Xue Jinyi said lightly: "Not long after Chen Jingyao and her mother arrived at the Weiguo Mansion, the crown princess and I got married, and the cousins didn't have much opportunity to talk to each other. I didn't even know that Jing Yao was dressed up so brightly and beautifully, which made my eyes light up, and I was ashamed of myself. ”

Fan Zhaoyi threw a glance at Xue Jinyi.

At this time, every word spoken here has a purpose and various thoughts hidden behind it.

Princess Chu is such a beautiful and intelligent person, it is impossible not to realize it.

The crown princess looked down on Princess Chu, and she embarrassed her several times at this time in Chunfang Pavilion, and everyone saw it, but Princess Chu was talking to the princess, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?

Empress Cai is also puzzled, her feelings for Princess Chu are very complicated, sometimes she thinks that her words are really good and reasonable, but sometimes she also feels that her words are not credible, I am afraid that there is a scheme.

She pondered for a moment, and heard a soft cough coming from the curtain behind her.

Empress Cai didn't plan to ask the prince what he meant, and said to the concubines: "Chen Jingyao is really good, do you have any other people you like?" ”

Such a fluttering sentence made Xue Fangyi very uneasy, no matter what Xue Jinyi was planning, she didn't care, and winked at Xue Jinyi vigorously, wanting her to come up with something.

Xue Jinyi didn't move, shaking the fan leisurely.

She knew that her words would make Empress Cai suspicious, but this was a fact that had to be said, Chen Jingyao must not seem to have much contact with her and Xue Fangyi, otherwise Chen Jingyao might not even have a chance.

The rest depends on whether the prince can give it or not.

Concubine De spoke at this time, "Queen, the concubine thinks that Qizhou Jixia is from a famous family, with a dignified appearance, decent manners, and elegant conversation, so she is a good candidate." ”

"Well, that's not bad either." Queen Cai smiled and rubbed the corners of her forehead, "They are all good girls, they are dazzling, and they are a little reluctant." ”

"yes, yes."

The crowd echoed and looked at each other.

"That's it," Empress Cai waited for everyone to finish echoing before she spoke again, "Write down the candidates proposed by everyone, and then vote, and the three people with the highest number of votes will be elected." ”

The prince couldn't help but cough a few more times, and this time raised his voice so that everyone else could hear it.

Fan Zhaoyi said: "Queen, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what he means?" I don't know, he already has someone he likes. ”

Everyone stared at Empress Cai with blazing eyes, so she had to turn her head sideways and ask, "Prince, what do you mean?" ”

The prince said, "My son should vote too." He didn't dare to say that he wanted Chen Jingyao right now.

Empress Cai agreed.

The female official took a pen and paper, wrote down the ancestral home and name of the nominated show girl, and then asked everyone to draw a circle under the three names they liked.

After the queen, the crown princess, Concubine De and Concubine Xian finished drawing, the pen and paper were sent to Xue Jinyi by the female official.

There are a total of five names on it, of which there are four circles under the names of Ji Xia and Dong Miao, three under Lu Yunrong, and only one Chen Jingyao.

It is easy to guess how the first four were chosen - the three concubines are the same, only Xue Fangyi thought that Lu Yunrong would threaten her, so she chose Ji Xia.

She did not hesitate to choose the same three people as the concubine, and then returned the pen to the female officer.

The female officer smiled at her and walked towards Fan Zhaoyi.

Xue Jinyi glanced at Xue Fangyi, who stretched her neck to look around, and then looked at Queen Cai's face, and sighed silently.

She took off a bracelet in her hand, walked to Xue Fangyi, and sent it to her with a smile, "I entered the palace today and passed by the Weiguo Mansion, and my mother asked me to hand over this bracelet to you." ”

Xue Fangyi took the bracelet in a daze, but it was not a hundred bracelets at all, it was an ordinary gold bracelet carved with a lotus pattern.

"It's ......"

Xue Jinyi lowered her voice, "Don't look anymore, talk again." ”

"Why?" Xue Fangyi was very unhappy, when was it the turn of this dead girl to order her?

"You want to hurt yourself?" Xue Jinyi had a vicious voice.

Xue Fangyi trembled and subconsciously shrank back.

Xue Jinyi took back the table, put it on Xue Fangyi's wrist, and said with a smile: "This is my mother's sincere blessing to the crown princess." ”

"Haha......" Xue Fangyi replied with a dry smile.

Concubine Xian got up, "You sisters sit down and talk together, I'll go sit over there." After speaking, he went to Xue Jinyi's position.

Xue Jinyi sat down and grabbed Xue Fangyi's wrist, "Look at me." ”

Xue Fangyi looked at Xue Jinyi tremblingly, the two sisters seemed to be whispering something intimate, and after everyone took a look, their attention returned to the list.

After a while, the female official counted the votes of each person and handed the list back to Empress Cai.

The prince really wanted to stand up and see what the result would be.

He couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait to see Chen Jingyao now.

However, Queen Cai was in the way, he couldn't see it at all, and his heart couldn't help but mention his throat.

If Chen Jingyao can't be selected today, what will he do to naturally embrace the beauty in his arms?

Empress Cai glanced at the numbers and smiled with satisfaction, "Sure enough, everyone thinks about the same." The three candidates can be decided, Lu Yunrong, Dong Miao and Ji Xia. ”

"No—" The prince felt his throat so dry that he almost screamed.

The room was filled with joyful voices, muffling his voice.

Xue Jinyi clenched Xue Fangyi's wrist tighter, and gave her a fierce look, which frightened the straw bag princess into not daring to speak.

She continued to wait quietly, and now Chen Jingyao's road has not been blocked.

It's up to one of them to do what she wants.

"Let the three of them in." Empress Cai already had a plan in her heart.

The female officer invited Lu Yunrong and the three of them, and Xue Jinyi noticed that Lu Yunrong's face was a little gray, and she was holding on to the handkerchief, trying her best to endure something.

Empress Cai looked at the three women who were about to become her son's concubines, and said with a smile: "The three of you are my favorite candidates for the prince's concubine, Ji Xia is Chenghui, Dong Miao is Liangyuan, and Lu Yunrong is ......."

She looked at the woman she was most comfortable with.

The girl, who had been indifferent and detached, suddenly trembled slightly.

Empress Cai continued: "Lu Yunrong is a good ......"

"Queen Mother!" Lu Yunrong raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of determination.

Everyone was more or less shocked by her.

Xue Jinyi secretly admired Lu Yunrong, her father was only a five-grade lang, but in front of the powerful Queen Cai, he had such a momentum, which was quite impressive, so she could bravely say her wishes, right?

Lu Yunrong held his head high and knelt down.

"What are you ......" Empress Cai couldn't understand.

Lu Yunrong stared at Queen Cai intently, and said word by word: "Yunrong thanks the queen for her love, but ...... Yunrong did not want to be a concubine. ”
