1248 Concubine Selection Banquet 1
Read on mobile phone
Therefore, just as Qingluan was about to officially devote herself to her busy study and absorb all kinds of knowledge in order to grow up to be worthy of King Chen, the emperor's will hit her out of thin air like a bolt from the blue, which made her dizzy and panic.
September Double Ninth Festival is the best season to enjoy chrysanthemums in autumn. The emperor issued an order for all officials of the fifth rank or above in Tiandu to attend the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet for their daughters who are over 15 years old on this day.
This will is completely unexpected for everyone, without any mental preparation.
When the King of Qi heard the news, he was stunned for a while: "Picking a Concubine Banquet? What the hell?"
King Lin frowned, but pursed his lips and said nothing.
"The banquet for selecting concubines?" After King Chen's expression was indifferent, his eyebrows slightly closed, "The princes are not young anymore, and it is indeed time to choose concubines."
King Xuan looked calm: "Choose a concubine? Although unexpectedly, it was not too unexpected. After all, the elder brother of the emperor is one year old at thirty, and the second brother of the emperor is almost thirty. If he doesn't choose a woman to marry, would he have to wait until he knows his destiny before making plans?"
By then, the ones who should get married have already been married. Who would like to be young girls like the old man? Even if they have a noble status, there are many women they want to marry, but they are embarrassed to ruin the beautiful little girls.
The eighth prince jumped up and said, "Choose a concubine? I am not as good as the one who is young, and choosing a concubine is also the one who is the emperor's brothers. What does it have to do with me?"
Of course, in the end, no matter whether it is related or not, no matter whether it is willing or not, no one dares to disobey the emperor's will, so they have to participate, and even if they don't participate, they have to participate.
"September 9 Double Ninth Festival?" Jiuqing was in the Yujing Pavilion and was stunned by the news. After a moment, he held his cheek and pondered, "Since the father has issued an order, everyone must do it. However, attending the concubine selection banquet does not mean that he can choose a suitable concubine..."
Looking up at Qingluan, who looked a little stunned in front of the desk, Jiuqing raised his eyebrows: "Qingluan, are you nervous?"
Qingluan came back to her senses, lowered her eyes to cover her thoughts in her heart, and slowly shook her head: "I was just a little surprised..."
Before he finished speaking, he added, "It seems a little at a loss."
Overwhelmed?
Jiuqing twisted the meaning of these four words carefully and smiled faintly: "What do you think in your heart?"
"I have never expected to become the prince's concubine before." Qingluan whispered lightly, "As for my status as a servant, I am not worthy, so it's useless to think so much. As long as I can have a place in his heart, it's enough."
After a moment, she slowly said, "But if the prince chose a concubine now, then I would not have any chance in the future. The prince is very clear about the prince. He never looked close to women before getting married. After having a wife, I think it is even more impossible to have any concubines or concubines. Moreover... If I still have those thoughts after the prince gets married, it is obviously not fair to the future Princess Chen."
When Jiuqing heard this, a smile that was almost unpredictable across his lips.
Qingluan has obviously seen the current situation very clearly, and it can be heard from her short sentences that, whether in terms of being a human being or dealing with emotions, she has a standard for measuring morality and a principle that cannot be violated.
It doesn't matter if you don't force your status. Even if you are a little humble, it doesn't matter if you pursue it harder, but she won't do things that destroy other people's feelings.
