Chapter 620 Fragrant Road Mission Continues 25
When Duan Mingyu heard the price, he almost dropped the tea in his hand.

This is not drinking tea, it is simply tasting money.

There was still the fragrance of tea between her lips and teeth, but Duan Mingyu didn't dare to savor it carefully.

She was afraid that if she really liked this tea, she would not be able to afford it in the future.

Seeing Duan Mingyu's cautiousness, Langzhong Li smiled and comforted him: "Miss Duan, don't worry about the price, this tea is naturally expensive to outsiders, but Miss Yu said that you don't need money for villains, and Miss Duan likes to just drink it. "

"No, no, how dare you do that?" Duan Mingyu hastily declined.

Li Langzhong, however, smiled even more intensely, and said: "Just talk about the good deeds that Miss Duan has done for the beggars in ruined temples, and she deserves it."

"Miss Duan, don't worry, I will pass on your thoughts to Miss Yu, and I will tell you whether her reply is good or bad."

"So, thank you, Mr. Li."

Duan Mingyu didn't want to take the tea, but she couldn't stand Li Langzhong's stubbornness, so she accepted it anyway.

Before leaving, she looked at the children who were busy in the yard again, and left with some insights.

……

Three months after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

On the streets of the capital, the sad white flags were replaced with festive red silk and satin. There were lanterns and festoons everywhere, creating a cutting-edge and festive atmosphere.

However, the aura of Xiao Sha was everywhere in the imperial palace, especially the harem was even more lifeless.

There is no other reason, but because on the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, a concubine had an idea that she shouldn't have, and even ran to the imperial study room to get close to the emperor in the name of delivering supper.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not in a good mood just because he had just ascended the throne, on the contrary, he was extremely irritable, and unexpectedly ended the life of this concubine in the imperial study.

It is said that when the concubine was carried out from the imperial study, her neck was severed, her head was connected by a layer of flesh and blood, and the bones inside had been turned into powder.

All the eunuchs on duty in the imperial study were beheaded that night, and the entire palace was circled by crows for seven days.

Since then, no concubine dared to think otherwise.

But the emperor never went to the place where the concubines lived in the harem. The so-called harem became a veritable cold palace.

After a few more days, rumors spread slowly, saying that the emperor still missed Miss Yu's family who had not married back then, and that the reason why the empress position was delayed was because of Miss Yu's family.

These words spread out of the palace, and the old courtiers in the front hall quit.

In the past few days, Qi Shengmian has received countless letters of remonstrance requesting to be crowned empress, and in the end, the fathers of several concubines in the harem joined forces with Yu Youcai from the Yu family to go to the imperial study to make remonstrance.

The incense burning in the censer in the Imperial Study Room was very special. The bitter taste made the few ministers standing in the room feel like they were eating yellow lotus with their noses.

"Your Majesty, if you have been on the throne for several months, if you do not take the throne for a long time, there may be a lot of rumors and rumors, which will affect your Majesty's reputation."

"According to the Qing Kingdom's rules, the queen's candidate should be announced on the day of enthronement. At that time, His Majesty did not choose a queen candidate, and the ministers all understood His Majesty's prudence, but...these months have passed, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to choose another queen." it's not good?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please decide on the candidate for the master of the harem as soon as possible, otherwise the people in the harem will be unstable, how can the front hall be peaceful?"

"..."

The courtiers spoke vigorously with each other, but they all had the same meaning, Qi Shengmian should not have a queen, if he does not make a queen, then there will definitely be troubles in the court.

It's just that the few courtiers talked vigorously, but after they finished speaking, they found that the man sitting in front of the desk looked indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.

"emperor--"

The courtiers also expected this situation when they came, and several people exchanged glances with each other, and knelt down in unison.

"Please the emperor make a decision as soon as possible! This matter cannot be delayed any longer!"

"Can't delay any longer!"

"..."

After Qi Shengmian finished processing the memorial on the table, he left the brush on the inkstone.

He looked at the few ministers kneeling below, and sneered: "Empress? All right, then who do you want to establish?"

The ministers below are the fathers of the four concubines that Qi Shengmian begged for when the late emperor was alive.

Today, these four families naturally want to send their daughters to the position of the supreme queen.

The four people who were still fighting against each other just now started to quarrel after hearing this question.

"Concubine Rong is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is familiar with the books of sages. She is the perfect candidate to be the queen!"

"Bah! Where did you put Concubine Shu? Concubine Shu has always been submissive, and the emperor is the first priority in everything. Concubine Rong can be a queen, why can't she?"

"Stop quarreling, both of you. If you are respectful and talented, then Concubine Rou is not bad! Our Xiaorou is not only talented but also understands military scriptures. Concubine Rou has studied everything the emperor likes. She is A model harem!"

"So the position in the harem is not owned by Concubine Hui. She has the strengths of Concubine Shu, Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rong. In addition, Concubine Hui has a photographic memory and is good at riding. Not as good as her!"

"What kind of riding skills! Who doesn't know that Concubine Hui used a donkey as a horse to make the stable boy laugh at him, and finally punished the boy. Your concubine Hui is really embarrassing!"

"Oh! Then your concubine Rou doesn't even understand 36 tricks, so she just memorized a beauty trick, right?"

"you……"

The imperial study room became a mess in an instant, Qi Shengmian sneered and watched several people arguing endlessly.

The reason why he accepted four concubines at the same time was to contain the four of them when discussing the establishment of the empress one day.

Now, as he expected, the dog bites the dog.

In the midst of the debate, Yu Youcai stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty! If you want to become a queen, it must be Weiyang's choice. She is your main concubine. In any case, it will not be the turn of the next few people, right?"

Hearing this, the four people arguing next to them stopped talking.

Indeed, speaking of it, the one who is most qualified to be a queen must be Yu Weiyang.

But I heard that the emperor hates the second miss of the Yu family.

At the beginning, the emperor was going to marry the young lady of the Yu family, but Yu Weiyang joined forces with the former prince to exchange marriages abruptly.

Originally thought that after Qi Shengmian ascended the throne, Yu Weiyang, the concubine, would be deposed, but Qi Shengmian did not take any action.

No one could guess what the emperor was thinking.

However, hearing what Yu Youcai said at this time, several people stopped arguing and just looked at the emperor to see how he made a decision.

If the emperor really wants to make Yu Weiyang the queen, then the rest of them really don't have the qualifications to compete at all.

"It has to be her? Hehe..."

Qi Shengmian sneered, staring at Yu Youcai and asked, "Yu Aiqing, are you teaching me how to do things? What is your identity? Huh?"

Yu Youcai felt the murderous aura rushing towards his face for a moment, his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground in fright: "Your Majesty! I dare not!"
