Chapter 251: She's Back Again?
After singing a song, the beams were endless, and everyone was still intoxicated by the young and bright singing of the girls, and after a while, applause gradually rang out.
Xue Jinyi looked at Empress Cai, and her gaze fell on a beautiful, tall and indifferent girl.
There was not much difference between the girl's style and the other girls' dressing style, but there was no joy in her beautiful eyebrows, and there was no complaint, just standing there indifferently and detachedly, doing whatever others called her, like an emotionless robot.
Xue Jinyi could see that she was not pursuing to be different and attract the attention of nobles, but she was unwilling to participate in this draft.
However, the more Empress Cai looked, the more satisfied she became, and she was destined to rack her brains to escape.
"Who is this girl?" Empress Cai asked.
The female official said: "The daughter of Lu Kang in the Ministry of Works, Lu Yunrong." ”
"Come forward, let me take a good look." Empress Cai beckoned kindly.
Lu Yunrong stopped taking a step with a facial expression, hung his head slightly, and was silent.
"She's a beauty, and I've read a lot of books, right?" Empress Cai asked, "It is said that there is poetry and books in the belly, and it is said that Miss Lu is like this." ”
The show girls secretly showed envious eyes, and they could get such praise from Queen Cai, and one of the three places had been occupied.
Lu Yunrong replied softly: "I have nothing to do, I have skimmed a few books, and the queen mother praised it." ”
Empress Cai's eyes were still full of smiles, and she asked again, "What do you usually like to do?" ”
Lu Yunrong replied dryly: "Helping my mother take care of the family's affairs, or being a female celebrity, I have no other hobbies." ”
Sounds like a boring person.
The smile on Empress Cai's face is not reduced by half, isn't this exactly what she meant?
"Good." She nodded, "You can stand aside first." ”
Lu Yunrong's face was a little bad, but he tried his best to stabilize his emotions, silently retreated to the side, and then Miss Dong sent by the Hou Mansion of Hucheng.
Miss Dong's posture was fluttering, like a butterfly after spinning in place, she took out a peony pattern fan from the wide sleeve, waved her arm, took the small brush handed by others, raised her swan-like beautiful neck, raised the fan, and raised her hand to mention poetry on the fan surface.
After writing, she threw away the brush, spun in front of Queen Cai, and presented the fan with both hands.
"This is a fan made by the little girl herself, dedicated to the queen."
Queen Cai took the fan, the peony flowers on the fan surface are colorful, lifelike, the stitches are smooth and fine, it seems that it took real effort, and the small characters next to it, free and elegant, such as the murals handed down from ancient times, the posture of the elegant fairy.
"Good word." Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but think of Xue Jinyi's handwriting when choosing the crown princess, and she was praised by the emperor alone.
The emperor will like this too.
Chen Jingyao listened to them, feeling that her palms were full of sweat, and when she was a little flustered and confused, she heard Xue Jinyi cough lightly.
She couldn't help but look up, only to see Xue Jinyi wink and motioned her to look at the curtain.
Chen Jingyao was like an initiation and quickly calmed down.
Yes, as long as you can get the prince's mercy, you will definitely be selected......
As for whether the prince will go crazy again because of this, she doesn't care.
If she can't be selected, all her dreams have come to naught, how else can she climb to the highest position?
Chen Jingyao's hand stroked the plum blossom-shaped jade pendant again, and then held it in his hand like a treasure, pressed it on his heart, and glanced at the curtain with a sad look.
The figure behind the curtain swayed a few times.
The prince clung to the armrest of the chair so that he did not fall to the ground.
When he heard that voice, he suddenly remembered his Ah Mo again!
And the action just now is exactly the same as Ah Mo!
The prince's eyes were a little dazed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Last time in Pingkangfang, Ah Mo suddenly disappeared, he thought about it day and night for so long, even in a dream, he couldn't see Ah Mo again.
Mo finally believes that he has not changed his mind, and is he finally willing to come back to him again?
He frantically wanted to open the curtain and take a closer look at the girl named "Chen Jingyao".
But the prince knew that he couldn't do this, and if he did, it would hurt Chen Jingyao, so he had to be patient and wait, and wait until his mother came to ask him what he meant, and then he could rightfully accept the person into the East Palace.
Suddenly, he remembered what Xue Fangyi had told him in the morning.
"So many women have entered the East Palace, and they are jealous every day, just afraid that they will disturb the prince's tranquility."
What disturbs the tranquility? almost delayed him from seeing Ah Mo again! The prince glared at Xue Fangyi with disgust, this annoying and nasty and bad woman, he will be driven out of the East Palace sooner or later!
Xue Fangyi coldly felt a vicious gaze, her shoulders trembled in fright, and she felt a basin of cold water poured down on her head, freezing her whole body.
She didn't even dare to follow her feelings to see who it was, her neck curled up, like a quail.
Xue Jinyi saw everything in her eyes and drank tea leisurely.
It seems that the crown prince has grown up, and he will definitely try his best to let Chen Jingyao enter the East Palace.
After all the show girls were seen by the nobles, they went outside to wait under the leadership of the female officer.
After Chen Jingyao went out, she turned her head slightly, glanced at the curtain again, and then pretended to tidy up her appearance, and flicked the plum blossom hairpin on her bun a few times.
The prince's heart was about to fly out of the curtain first, to hug the woman who looked like Amo.
His boots stomped the carpet, as if they were about to take root, to restrain his impulses.
"I can't hurt Ah Mo anymore, I can't hurt her anymore......" he muttered silently, reluctantly watching the figure disappear behind the door.
Empress Cai took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think?" ”
The crown prince didn't speak, because now was not a good time for him to speak, so wait for what those harem women would say.
Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine De, who was not going to speak, and said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Dong Miao of Pizhou and Lu Yunrong of Lu Langzhong's family are very suitable." ”
"Hmm." Her words reached her heart, and she nodded with a smile, "I also like these two, is there anything else?" ”
Although Xue Fangyi didn't want to express her opinion on this matter, Concubine Xian didn't mention Chen Jingyao, so she had to take the initiative, "Mother, my daughter-in-law looks at Shenzhou Chen Jingyao is not bad, she is smart and generous, and she looks beautiful, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she will definitely be able to serve the prince well." ”
The prince was overjoyed, and his hatred for Xue Fangyi was reduced by half a point, and this woman knew the general situation.
Fan Zhaoyi covered her mouth and smiled: "This Chen Jingyao is from an average background, but she has been praised by the crown princess repeatedly, what an honor?" ”
"After all, Miss Chen is the cousin of the crown princess, and now the mother and daughter are living in the Weiguo Mansion." Yuan Jieyu took over the conversation, "Cousins are both wives and concubines, and they serve the prince together, so they can take care of each other, right?" ”
Xue Jinyi was helpless, and deliberately asked Chen Jingyao not to talk about the relationship with the Weiguo Mansion when she introduced herself, but Xue Fangyi wanted to speak for Chen Jingyao, which was exposed.
No, Queen Cai's originally smiling eyes added a touch of disgust.
