The princes have arrived at the scene one after another, and Su Wan also attended with Concubine Chen and the others. She followed Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen kept holding her hand, as if she was her own daughter.
The prince's selection of concubines was not so rigorous. It was just a group of gorgeous ladies gathering together to perform performances and so on.
Anyway, it's nothing special. Su Wan sat with the ladies.
There must be more than twenty ladies attending this time, and Gu Yue stood in the first row.
What she showed was her special skill, the harp.
She must have learned it very hard in the past few years. This skill is already more proficient than a few years ago. Su Wan had to admit this.
The three princes were sitting at the bottom. Gu Yue was playing and watching, her eyes full of affection. But Murong Sheng looked at her, but she didn't seem very happy, and her face was full of worries.
Concubine Shu had been looking at her son with a straight look in her eyes, and Murong Sheng did not dare to look at his concubine.
Su Wan listened to a group of noble ladies either singing, dancing or playing the piano, holding various instruments in their hands.
She was almost asleep when she heard it.
Finally, the performance part was over, and it took a whole morning. Su Wan drank two pots of tea. During the intermission, she took the time to go to the palace.
When I came back, the ladies were already standing in a row.
In fact, selecting a concubine is just a process. Whoever the imperial concubine seal will be given to has already been decided. How to choose among several princes? No one can compete with the other.
First, choose the main concubine, and then choose the two side concubines.
The three princes each held seals in their hands and stood up together. The ladies were all anxious.
Only those standing in the first row can have three princes and concubines, who will become princesses in the future. According to the rank, Gu Yue is also on the far left of the first row.
Murong Sheng was already standing in front of her, and she looked at him with a shy smile.
After selecting the prince's concubine, the canonization ceremony will be held half a month later, and eight large sedans will be carried into the prince's palace.
After this matter is over, they will be crowned king, and they will be called princes from now on, and their princess will be a serious princess from now on.
Murong Huai was the most direct, and went directly to Lin Jingshu, the daughter of the right prime minister. Lin Jingshu was wearing a chest-length skirt embroidered with iris flowers.
Murong Huai directly handed her the imperial concubine's seal.
Lin Jingshu looked at Murong Huai, her cheeks were red, and she took the seal with both hands.
The two looked at each other and smiled, which is considered a good marriage. I believe they can treat each other as guests and treat each other as equals in the future.
Lin Jingshu, the daughter of the right minister, has a good reputation and a good reputation. Concubine Chen is very satisfied with this marriage.
Her son is still sensible and doesn't have to worry about anything.
Su Wan had already been optimistic about Murong Huai at first glance, otherwise he would be so straightforward?
Good guy, I went straight to the most beautiful one. I have to say that Lin Jingshu's appearance is really impeccable and she deserves the title of the most beautiful woman.
Although Su Wan is also beautiful, she doesn't think she is the kind of beauty that would captivate a country.
The sixth prince, Murong Qi, gave the imperial concubine's seal to the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
In fact, he had only met the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette, and they had not even exchanged a few words. The daughter of the Minister of Etiquette had the appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, and was not outstanding among the noble girls. However, this was the choice of his mother and concubine.
Their status was not high, and they were not popular in front of their father. Now they were attached to the Fifth Emperor's brother and married the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette, just to help win over the power.
He has always been indifferent to matters between men and women, so choosing the prince and concubine was all about profit.
The daughter of the Minister of Etiquette was a little disbelieving when she saw that the Sixth Prince chose her, because she looked so ordinary among the noble ladies.
Murong Qi looked at her blankly, then smiled at her and handed over the seal a few more times.
She then moved forward with trembling hands. She thought she would just be a companion today, but she didn't expect that she would be chosen.
With her status, she could only be the main concubine, but she was not willing to be the side concubine.
In the end, only Murong Sheng was left. Next to Gu Yue was the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. She looked down on Gu Yue very much and held her head high.
Before, Gu Yue had been going out with the fifth prince on various occasions. Everyone said that Gu Yue was the future fifth prince's concubine, but she did not agree. In addition to being a county head, Gu Yue was not a merchant girl and had no power. Just momentum.
Gu Yue didn't know why Murong Sheng was so hesitant. She just looked at him with an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Sheng'er, what are you still doing? Your two royal brothers have already finished choosing, and they are waiting for you now. Don't waste time."
Concubine Shu saw that her son was hesitant, so she urged him from behind.
Murong Sheng looked at Gu Yue, closed her eyes helplessly, and then handed the seal to the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs in front of Gu Yue.
At that moment, Gu Yue was stunned. She looked at Murong Sheng in disbelief. Didn't she agree that she would be his future concubine?
Why now, he gave the seal to another woman.
Could it be that all the things mentioned before have not been counted?
Gu Yue's little face was pale, and she watched helplessly as the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance took the seal in front of her, and then smiled and saluted Murong Sheng.
Murong Sheng kept looking at Gu Yue, with a lot of helplessness in his eyes. He had no choice. He really needed a concubine who could really help him.
Now that he and Murong Huai were investigating corruption cases at the same time, many things required the help of the Ministry of Revenue, but he would only be willing to cooperate with him if he married the daughter of the Minister of Revenue as his concubine.
This time was a good opportunity to prove himself in front of his father. He had to trample Murong Huai under his feet. Only this chance could he prove his strength.
The East Palace side can't hold on for long, so he needs to strike first.
Gu Yue's eyes were red, and she had been trying not to let her tears flow down, so much so that her body was shaking slightly.
Zhao Hui, the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, tilted her head and glanced at Gu Yue proudly, with a bright smile.
Su Wan looked at Gu Yue's appearance and suddenly sympathized with her. She gave everything to take care of the fifth prince, but in the end she couldn't even get a serious status. Is it worth it?
Gu Yue caught a glimpse of Su Wan looking at her from the corner of her eye. She knew that she was laughing at herself. She once vowed to show off in front of her, but now she was slapped in the face. Now she couldn't figure out why she was gloating over her misfortune.
Tears still blurred her eyes after all...
Murong Sheng's heart was also in pain. Seeing the despair of the woman he loved, how could he not be sad?
After choosing the princess, there were still concubines to choose from, but they had to take a break during the intermission. Gu Yue turned around and left. She couldn't stay any longer and just wanted to escape from this humiliating place of right and wrong.
Murong Sheng saw this and quickly chased after him.
Zhao Hui has achieved her goal, and it doesn't matter what Murong Sheng does, because she is confident that Murong Sheng will fall in love with her in the future.
