Chapter 357 Chapter 358: I can't afford to mess with the empress
"The Queen Mother is here!"
The three of them stood up to greet them before they could speak.
The Empress Dowager entered the hall surrounded by the crowd, glanced at the three of them, took a seat first, and said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." The three of them responded in unison, then stood up and took their seats.
"The emperor hasn't arrived yet?" the queen mother asked.
Song Yunzhao was too lazy to reply and bowed his head in silence. Concubine Wan had never talked much, so Concubine Shu could only open her mouth and said, "Maybe the emperor is still busy with state affairs."
The queen mother snorted and didn't say anything. Song Yunzhao didn't want to fight with the queen mother now, so he didn't make any eye contact with the queen mother, and sat quietly in his seat.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Song Yunzhao, looked at her gorgeous palace attire, and pursed her lips, obviously a little displeased.
The hall was very quiet, and Concubine Shu didn't intend to activate the atmosphere, so she just stayed in a stalemate. Fortunately, after a quarter of an hour, the sound of the emperor's arrival was heard, and everyone stood up to meet him.
The queen mother sits down.
The emperor came in, and the three concubines saluted. After the emperor called out, he saluted the queen mother.
The queen mother looked at the emperor, "Since the emperor has arrived, let's start. Concubine Shu said that you are busy with state affairs, so hurry up and finish the election so that you don't miss your big event."
The queen mother's words were neither yin nor yang, Song Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
Feng Yi took his seat, and after hearing what the Queen Mother said, he only said lightly, "What the Queen Mother said is, if this is the case, let's start."
The empress dowager was displeased, obviously the emperor followed her wishes, but she just felt uncomfortable.
Song Yunzhao's seat was next to the emperor's. This time, the emperor arranged the seats himself. He asked Meng Jiuchang to come over and give orders in advance. There was also news from the Shouci Palace. Get angry.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the palace just now, Song Yunzhao became more and more disliked.
Song Yunzhao sat there with a straight posture. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Feng Yi glanced at her, but she didn't turn her head.
Meng Jiuchang soon announced the first batch of beautiful girls into the palace.
The process is the same. If you see an attractive beauty, you will keep a card, and if you are very attractive, you will ask a few words.
Feng Yi didn't speak, Song Yunzhao looked indifferent, Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan didn't want to do something to offend Song Yunzhao, they entered the palace in two consecutive batches and no one was left behind, the queen mother couldn't sit still.
When the third group entered the palace, the queen mother took the initiative to speak this time. I don't know if it was a coincidence or the queen mother had arranged it long ago. The first person left behind was Mrs. Wu Xinhou's daughter Xu Mingying.
Song Yunzhao:…
The queen mother spoke quickly, and she didn't even ask other people what they meant, and just stayed.
Feng Yi's complexion is not very good-looking.
When Song Yunzhao saw it, her straight body changed slightly. She turned her wonderful eyes, pointed to the third person in the third row, and the fifth person in the fourth row. The concubine sees that these two younger sisters are very eye-catching, how about staying?"
Big beauty.
Feng Yi's scalp was numb, but he couldn't refute Yun Zhao's face in front of the Queen Mother, "If you like it, just stay."
The corner of Concubine Shu's mouth twitched, listen, Concubine Ming likes it, can concubine Ming pamper them if she likes it?
The emperor really got cheap and behaved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Yunzhao's smile was as bright as a spring flower.
When the fourth batch entered the palace, Song Yunzhao ordered a few people without waiting for the queen mother to speak, and they were still the most beautiful among them.
Song Yuanzhao sneered in his heart, the queen mother pressed her face, and did not look at the beauty of her own face, which was quite competitive.
What about An Shutong?
To be honest, An Shutong is also a beauty, but there are different levels of beauty.
The fifth batch entered the palace, and Song Yunzhao saw An Shutong.
This time she kept her mouth shut.
The Queen Mother suppressed her anger and directly left An Shutong behind.
Feng Yi frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when Song Yunzhao suddenly said: "Hey, Your Majesty, I think the beauties in the last row are very kind. They seem to have seen them somewhere, why don't you stay. The third row wears green The woman in the colored dress is also pretty good, what do you think?"
Feng Yi glared at Yun Zhao, he didn't dare to look at it, if this overturned the jar of jealousy, it would take a lot of effort to coax it back.
She had a great fight with the Queen Mother, but he was the one who got unlucky in the end. Which emperor in the world is as aggrieved as him?
Xu Shi understood the deep meaning in Feng Yi's eyes, Song Yunzhao touched his nose guiltily, and then closed his mouth.
Those who were named by Yun Zhao naturally stayed again, and the faces of the beauties were joyful, but An Shutong looked indifferent, unable to see what was in his heart.
There were several rounds of selections in succession. As long as the queen mother asked to keep someone, Song Yunzhao would definitely cooperate and must keep another one, and the one chosen must be the most beautiful among them.
Feng Yi had a terrible headache at first, but he soon gave up struggling.
He is the emperor, anyway, he is not the one who suffers in the end.
Concubine Wan wandered the sky from beginning to end, using her strength to show that she was only there to sign.
Concubine Shu was nervous at first, but it didn't take long for her to lie flat like the emperor.
As a result, there were many more people selected this year than Yun Zhao's group. After the selection, Feng Yi left first, and before leaving, he gave Yun Zhao a veiled look to let her experience it.
Song Yunzhao:…
As soon as the emperor left, the Empress Dowager left right after her. Before she left, she looked at Song Yunzhao and said, "It's better for Concubine Ming not to shoot herself in the foot."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for reminding me, but it is the duty of ministers and concubines to page for the emperor's beauty, and it is my honor." Song Yunzhao smiled sweetly.
She is not stupid, she only chooses those who are willing to enter the palace, but she does not choose anyone who does not want to enter the palace and looks away. A girl from a good family, why bother to waste her life in the harem.
Those who are more willing to enter the palace will definitely fight for opportunities by themselves, but those who don't want to enter the palace, choose them to come in, this is what will hurt them.
Among the people selected by Song Yunzhao, there are still a few who have greeted Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu mentioned this to her, but Concubine Shu did not agree.
But Song Yunzhao kept it in his heart, anyway, someone must enter the palace to stay, and choosing these people is better than those who don't want to enter the palace.
Those who remained in the selection went back to the Zhichun Palace and waited to be canonized into the palace. Song Yunzhao made Feng Yi unhappy, and went back to the Yaohua Palace to ask for the soup that had been stewed in advance. She took the soup to the Taiji Hall.
She hasn't been to Tai Chi Hall for a long time.
Arrived outside the hall, I didn't see Meng Jiuchang, but I saw Xu Sixi.
As soon as Xu Sixi saw Concubine Ming, he immediately greeted Concubine Ming, "I pay my respects to Concubine Ming, concubine Ming."
"Director Xu, you don't need to be too polite. I have something to see, please pass it on to General Manager Xu." Song Yunzhao laughed.
Xu Sixi doesn't dare to offend this one now, even if he had some thoughts before, he suppressed it a long time ago, and said with a busy smile: "Please wait a moment, my maidservant, please go in and report."
This lady can't afford to offend, he really can't afford to offend her now.
The second update is over, my little cuties.
