Chapter 82 Don't Take Off Your Makeup So Quickly
So, in the next half month, Gu Changfeng played his responsibility as an elder brother. He personally sent people to summon all fourteen beauties into the palace, and selected several older maids to teach these beauties the rules of the palace.
After half a month of hard work, the day finally arrived when the emperor personally made the selection.
Because some of the portraits were painted too much, the originally white skin was painted yellow and black. Many moles were painted on the fair faces. After the concubines were sent to the palace, they still sent people to send many strange things. Because they couldn't let the emperor know that they were trying to please the Grand Tutor and the Minister of Rites, so even on the day they met the emperor, they had to repaint their makeup according to the portraits.
Gu Changfeng thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, so he might as well just follow their wishes.
He originally thought that this meeting would be very bleak. Having to choose two from twelve ugly guys and two beautiful girls, it was not surprising that Gu Changli would choose Lu and Zhou. However, he forgot one thing.
The little emperor was his younger brother, and according to old custom, he was specifically asked whether he wanted to choose one before the selection of concubines.
"Prince Yong, are you satisfied with any of the beautiful ladies who entered the palace today? The Emperor said that you can choose one first." Li Xue came over early to wait for him just to say this.
Gu Changfeng didn't dare to even look at it now.
"This time the concubine entered the palace because the emperor wants to marry. I am devoted to the country and have no plans to marry. Thank you for your kindness, emperor."
Gu Changli just asked for the sake of politeness and didn't really want him to choose someone. Seeing that he refused, he had no choice but to call Li Xue back.
Before the selection process began, the emperor was in a very good mood and ate a few grapes from the fruit plate beside him. However, the more he looked at these people, the more he felt that they were not good-looking. His face turned black when he saw the last one.
These fourteen nuns looked exactly like the ones in the portraits.
Is it really possible that he did not collude with the painter in an attempt to please the Grand Tutor and the Minister of Rites?
"These two." Gu Changli was in no mood. He pointed at the two with more outstanding looks, then he couldn't stay any longer and went straight back to the palace.
Gu Changfeng sighed and asked the rest of the people to follow him. Zhou and Lu followed Li Xue.
"Girls, you have worked hard these days. Go back and pack your things. I have already informed your families of your news. Someone will come to the palace to pick you up soon."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Gu Changfeng sent the person back to the bedroom, he was about to return home when he was stopped by a young maid.
"Prince, Prince, wait a minute."
He looked down and saw that the man's face and body were wet, as if he had just washed his face. He thought about it carefully, but couldn't tell who this man was.
The woman was a little embarrassed when she saw that the prince did not recognize her: "I am Sun Qinlan, the daughter of the Imperial College's chief priest. I noticed the prince when I first entered the palace. Since I was not chosen by the emperor, I wonder if the prince can take me back to his palace? Qinlan does not care about status, even if she is a concubine."
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College...Sun Ci's sister!
"Do you know that what you are doing... is a crime of deceiving the emperor? Let alone whether I can take you away, if your face is any different from the portrait in the future and the emperor finds out, your entire Sun family will be executed!"
Sun Qinlan was speechless after being hit like this. She hurriedly covered her face, but she was still unconvinced in her heart: "The prince didn't agree, it can't be because of this reason! I heard a long time ago that the prince has a male concubine at home and doesn't like women at all!"
Male concubine? Where did this come from?
"Anyway, I have already rejected the Emperor's request today and will not bring any concubines back to the palace."
"What's his name? It's said that he looks the same as the people in Nanfengguan, the largest restaurant in Beijing..." she kept saying.
Gu Changfeng felt a headache after hearing this, and immediately interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense, is this how Sun Jijiu taught his children? Are you making random assumptions based on a few rumors?"
When Sun Qinlan saw that he had moved her father out as well, she ran back angrily.
"Really? Why is the Sun family's tutor like this? I kindly reminded her not to remove her makeup so quickly and to at least go home and remove it, but she still said such things about me. Is my reputation in the capital so bad?"
Gu Changfeng leaned against the carriage, frowning.
Xiao Wo said calmly: [Your reputation is all your own fault. I don’t think Miss Sun did anything wrong. After all, when you confess your love and get rejected, not everyone will be like Shen Mingjue and keep a good face to you and say nothing bad to you.]
The confession was rejected... Gu Changfeng felt a splitting headache when he remembered that after he rejected Shen Mingjue with the lame excuse of "friend", the other party had not contacted him for half a month.
