"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Xie Qingyi said immediately: "I have read four or five, and finally there is one that Your Majesty likes."
She temporarily put her thoughts back on Cheng Ning.
Could it be that Cheng Ning's acidophilic energy is really pregnant?
Even though she was originally a sour person, these plums were specially chosen by her to be extra sour.
Let’s not talk about it for now, the draft is important.
Tao Xinran of Dunsuhou Mansion is soft-tempered and easy to handle.
It was Xie Qingyi who selected her all the way and was the only woman with the surname Hou who stayed here.
This Dunsuhou can be used by my father in the future.
Tao Xinran thanked him again and his cheeks turned redder.
For the following ones, Wei Yanzhou seemed to have run out of patience: "There's no need to show off your talents, just tell us your names."
His eyes were dark and there was no smile on his lips. He looked inexplicably fierce.
But this is the emperor Long Wei, and he is full of energy when he speaks.
The remaining few, except Gao Xinyi, all trembled inexplicably.
——Scared.
Three of the girls from aristocratic families were personally selected and managed by Xie Qingyi.
She secretly glared at those people.
It's so unsatisfactory. She's just so unstable in front of the emperor. If she offends Wei Yanzhou, what's the use of her careful arrangements!
idiot!
However, Wei Yanzhou looked at the only calm Gao Xinyi as if on purpose: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Gao Xinyi is also afraid of the conscience of heaven and earth.
But she was just thinking about something and didn't pay attention to the sound at all.
When his name was called, Cheng Ning coughed lightly and reacted: "Go back to your Majesty, don't be afraid."
Nonsense, I can’t say it even if I’m afraid.
After saying that, the emperor would definitely ask her what she was afraid of.
The emperor wanted people to be afraid of him, but that was because of the emperor's dragon power, not because people should be afraid when they heard what he said.
Wei Yanzhou seemed a little amused: "Really?"
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Although Gao Xinyi didn't want to enter the palace, it was a family matter and she couldn't act recklessly in front of the emperor.
Couldn't help but look at Cheng Ning again.
On the contrary, she is more afraid of this Concubine Xi, which makes people feel quite dangerous.
"What do you always see Concubine Xi doing?" Wei Yanzhou had already noticed these little moves.
And according to Cheng Ning's previous analysis with him, it was impossible for her not to recognize that this was Gao Xinyi.
He wants to use Gao Xinyi's brother and make Cheng Ning unhappy?
There is such a good thing.
No wonder Gao Xinyi looked like he had seen a ghost when he looked at Cheng Ning just now.
He raised the corner of his lips almost invisible, and said to Xin Yi: "Stand closer, let me take a look."
What?
Xie Qingyi's anger couldn't go away.
The reason why she kept Gao Xinyi here was because he was a stubborn person who wanted to leave the palace and did not want to be a concubine.
Moreover, he has a big temper, and his temper can easily offend people.
Xie Qingyi kept her here until now just to watch the show, to see how aggressively and offended she would be in front of Wei Yanzhou.
It would be best if His Majesty directly expresses his displeasure in person. Then the Gao family magistrate might be able to replace him.
But why did it attract his attention instead?
He didn't look at any of those beautiful and generous girls from aristocratic families!
Is this guy named Gao just pretending to be in front of her, but actually he wants to climb onto His Majesty's bed? !
Poor Gao Xinyi doesn't know anything, but he is regarded as a standout by these big guys.
She moved towards Wei Yanzhou cautiously.
Kneel down.
She worked very hard, but she was not so upright even when she was punished by her father to kneel down in the ancestral hall.
But he still didn't dare to raise his head, and just said dullly: "Hello, Your Majesty."
"puff--"
This laugh came from none other than Cheng Ning.
She was amused by Gao Xinyi's aura.
He looked like he was leading the way, looking forward to death, and he even said hello, Your Majesty.
Gao Xinyi closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
Very good, this Concubine Xi really did it on purpose. It’s fun to see her make a fool of herself, right?
This bridge is closed.
Cheng Ning's laughter passed away in a flash, she held up her fan to block it, and returned to her expressionless expression.
Don't think that she doesn't know that Wei Yanzhou did it on purpose. He obviously wanted to ban Xinyi today and find an excuse to embarrass others. Only the little girl would fall for this evil idea.
"What are you laughing at, Concubine Xi?" Wei Yanzhou didn't let her go: "What's so funny?"
Although he was indeed deliberately trying to embarrass Gao Xinyi, Cheng Ning was too gloating about his misfortune.
He wasn't very happy.
"No," Cheng Ning said seriously, "I just feel that everyone in the palace is strict, but I haven't seen someone as smart as Sister Gao for a long time."
"Isn't sister too arbitrary?" Xie Qingyi saw that Cheng Ning wanted to recommend Gao Xinyi, but of course she didn't want to: "The selection depends on His Majesty's wishes. Who doesn't have the aura?"
"What my sister said was that when you first entered the palace and made soup for Linhua Palace, I took a fancy to your aura."
Everyone knows that Concubine Hui came to the throne because of her attentiveness in Linhua Palace and had nothing to do with the empress.
Everyone looked at the insteps or the tea cups, but no one dared to speak.
This tense atmosphere is truly terrifying.
Xie Qingyi was shameless in public, not to mention how ugly her face was.
She snorted and said, "Is it possible that my sister and the Gao family have known each other for a long time, and this sister Gao has also been on good terms with her?"
"No!" Gao Xinyi, who was kneeling with pain in his legs, suddenly said, "We don't recognize you. Does Concubine Hui like to speculate like this?"
She is not a soft-tempered person, and it is not her nature to let others manipulate her.
And she didn't know Cheng Ning. This man was teasing her and laughing at her just now.
"How dare you talk to my empress like this?" Yinyin scolded: "You don't have the right to speak here!"
Okay, okay, everyone said that the people in the palace are like wolves and tigers. Gao Xinyi has learned a lot today.
The emperor didn't mention it, but Concubine Hui, who had kept her here until now, was obviously not a good person.
With the Xie family's surname, I wonder what kind of virtue it is.
Gao Xinyi's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he opened his mouth to reply.
"Sister, there is no need to guess about me," Cheng Ning spoke up to cut off what Gao Xinyi was about to say: "If you want to talk about bringing relatives, just calculate the number of aristocratic families among the selected ladies."
"you!"
Xie Qingyi didn't expect Cheng Ning to expose her thoughts in public, which caught her off guard and threw her into disarray.
She hurriedly knelt down, squeezed out two tears and said sadly: "Your Majesty! Sister Xi Fei is targeting this concubine!"
"Since I was appointed, I have worked hard to choose the best sister for Your Majesty to serve Your Majesty in the harem!"
"But what did my sister describe as a concubine? The pure ministers of this family are not all named after my sister An. Which of the former ministers was not loyal to the king?!"
She was so sad that she wanted to cut her heart out.
How could Gongsun Li not understand her thoughts? If these words were spread to the previous court, Cheng Ning would not be criticized.
But just as she was about to stand up and speak for Cheng Ning, Cheng Ning pushed her down again.
