Prince doesn't want to marry

After half a month of busy work, this unprecedented grand concubine selection is about to begin.The night before the concubine selection, the emperor specially called Qi and Mo to the imperial study and repeatedly told him not to miss the hour tomorrow.

Early in the morning of the second day, it seemed that the auspicious time was coming.The emperor who sat at the top just looked at the vacant seat with a dark complexion, and had no intention of starting at all.

Everyone present obviously knew who the emperor was waiting for. Although they knew, they still couldn't help whispering.

The little eunuch next to the emperor was also sweating profusely. He was hesitating whether to remind the emperor that it would be unlucky if the auspicious time was missed.But looking at the emperor's dark complexion, the little eunuch decided to rot the words in his stomach.

Time passed minute by minute, but the emperor still had no intention of starting, as if the person would not start until he was there.

Finally, when the little eunuch was trembling his calves and was about to speak out to remind the emperor.A leisurely figure caught everyone's eyes.The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his brow, and then carefully sized up the visitor.

The visitor's face was like a crown jade, his body was like a pine cypress, his eyes were clear, his nose was high, his lips were thin and red.There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.The appearance is very eye-catching, this person is Qi Yumo who came long ago.

The emperor snorted dissatisfiedly, then gave Qi and Mo a light look.In fact, it wasn't that Qi Yumo came late on purpose, he got up very early this morning, but encountered some accidents on the way here.Qi and Mo touched their noses and sat down honestly without making excuses.Seeing that he was being honest, Qi Yibai settled the situation and announced the start of concubine selection.

Since it is to choose a concubine for the emperor, it must be selected in all aspects.

The first is the competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the second is the competition of female red and female workers, and the last is naturally the competition of appearance.

During the selection process, the emperor watched with relish.From time to time, he asked Qi and Mo for their opinions, but Qi and Mo did not show much interest from the beginning to the end, and they were perfunctory to Qi Yibai's questions.

Seeing Qi and Mo's lack of interest, the emperor frowned but didn't force anything.And the minds of the ministers below became active.Pushing her daughter into the palace is also pushing, and pushing her daughter to Qi and Mo is also pushing.

If it is pushed into the imperial palace, there will be 3000 beauties in the emperor's harem, and his own daughter may not be favored.But pushing it to Qi and Mo is different. Qi and Mo naturally don't have as many wives and concubines as the emperor, and Qi and Mo themselves are also royal relatives and nobles, and they are deeply favored by the emperor.Thinking about it this way, it would be better to push her own daughter to Qi Yumo.

Naturally, some people also thought this way, and immediately some people pointed their words at Qi and Mo.During the intermission, someone couldn't bear to bring up this topic.

"Your Majesty thinks that the young prince Qi has reached the age suitable for marrying a wife, and he should take up his own responsibilities and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family." As soon as these words came out, many people immediately echoed them.Several people even recommended their daughters.

Little prince Qi had a mouthful of old blood in his mouth. He never thought that this group of people would make up their minds. He turned his head and looked at the emperor as if asking for help.

Everyone followed his gaze to look at the emperor, and they all calmed down and waited for his decision.I saw the emperor's expression was sombre and he didn't say a word. After a while, his expression became even more somber.

Just when Prince Qi thought he was saved, he gently picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, and just when the ministers thought their proposal would be rejected and sighed.

The emperor waved his sleeve robe, and said in a deep voice: "All the Aiqings are right, Mo'er should indeed take up this responsibility."

The young prince Qi suddenly choked on the tea, his face was disheveled, on the contrary, the faces of all the ministers were happy, and they all said that the emperor is wise.

"Sure enough," Prince Qi thought to himself, "Brother Huang never gave him hope."

With the emperor's permission, the ministers couldn't wait to introduce their daughters to Qi and Mo.

"Young Lord Qi, the old minister has a daughter who is eighteen years old and has a pretty face. Although she is not as charming as a city, she is also beautiful and delicious." A gray-haired old minister said.

"Don't listen to his little Prince Qi. I have a daughter who is sixteen years old. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female workers are excellent in everything. Do you want to consider the minister's daughter?"

"Young Lord Qi..."

Hearing the voices from below that were noisier than the market, Qi and Mo rubbed their heads, and said loudly: "Everyone is here today to select a concubine for the emperor, not for me. Please be safe and don't be impatient. , after the concubine selection is over, it will not be too late to bring up the matter of this king."

Hmph, when the concubine selection is over, he will sneak into the palace, don't try to force him to marry a wife.Qi and Mo thought happily.

As soon as Qi and Mo's words came out, the crowd immediately became quieter.All the ministers finally remembered that they came here to choose a concubine for the emperor.Just now, those who sold their daughters to Qi and Mo all knelt on the ground and confessed their crimes to the emperor.

Seeing this, Qi and Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't realize that their imperial brother's words were not surprising: "No problem! If there is any lover who can let my imperial brother marry my beloved daughter, I will reward you very much! After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qi Yumo proudly.

Qi and Mo were taken aback for a moment, first glanced at Qi Yibai in disbelief, and then watched the ministers become more and more crazy with twitching faces.

Qi and Mo, who had expected this kind of situation long ago, took a deep breath, and said with the words they had thought up a long time ago: "I appreciate the kindness of everyone, but I'm sorry, I already have something in my heart." A beautiful woman, and not only marry her but only marry her.”

Hearing these words, the noisy voices below suddenly stopped, and everyone looked like they wanted to say something but dared not.

The emperor Qi Yibai was also a little curious, wanting to see what other nonsense his younger brother could come up with.Everyone didn't ask, and Qi and Mo didn't mean to say anything.Finally someone couldn't bear it any longer, and asked in a weak voice, "Is it Miss Yunruo from the West Building?"

As soon as this problem came out, the scene became even more eerie.Qi and Mo took a deep look at the person who asked the question, then shook their heads and said, "It's not her."

The ministers fell silent again, curiously waiting for his next words.Qi and Mo rolled their eyes and said solemnly: "The person I like is like the bright moonlight in the sky. She is the pearl of this capital, the most talented woman and the most beautiful woman in this capital."

Everyone was stunned, and after a little thought, the number one talented woman, the number one beauty, isn't this referring to Prime Minister You's beloved daughter?

All the ministers looked at Qi Yumo with a strange expression on his face, and Prime Minister You, who had a disheveled face, and thought: Is this little Prince Qi in a daze?Prime Minister You's only daughter is really not easy to pursue!

Take the concubine selection this time as an example, all the ministers are determined to put their daughters in this palace so as to gain merit and fame for themselves.

Only Prime Minister You is different. Prime Minister You has only one daughter in his family, and he loves her very much.This time, the daughters of all the officials in the selection of concubines can be seen, but there is no face of the only daughter of Prime Minister You.A woman that even the emperor can't get, how dare young prince Qi, the number one dandy in the capital, dare to think about it?

Qi and Mo naturally knew what they were thinking, and they also knew that Prime Minister You would definitely not marry his beloved daughter to a worthless dude, and he said that he would not marry unless she was the only one. up.Qi and Mo, who were thinking about this little calculation in their hearts, were already smiling, but on the surface they still looked affectionate.

The scene suddenly became awkward, and after a while, the emperor said hesitantly: "Well, I think the proposal of the emperor is very good, what does Jiang Aiqing think?"

Prime Minister You's face turned pale when he was suddenly named, how could he not see that the emperor meant to grant a marriage if there was any disagreement.

Qi and Mo were also taken aback by Qi Yibai's coquettish manipulation, brother Huang, is this trying to twist the melon?

Seeing Prime Minister Jiang's face getting bluer and greener, Qi Yumo hurriedly knelt down with one knee cupped and said, "Brother Huang, Miss Jiang is the jewel of the capital, if she commits herself to me because of this, it would be embarrassing. Let Ms. Jiang be a role model and work hard to improve myself until one day I can openly ask her to marry me, and I hope Brother Huang will make it happen!"

The scene was silent, and no one would have thought that Qi and Mo would say such words.Looking at him like that, Qi Yibai couldn't guess what he was thinking.He sighed heavily in his heart, but said without showing color on his face: "Okay, according to what the emperor said, we will discuss this matter later, Jiang Aiqing may have any objections."

"Your Majesty, the old minister did not." This time, Prime Minister Jiang replied quite quickly, as if the emperor would regret it if he said it was late.

He looked at Qi and Mo, although he didn't know how sincere his affection for his daughter was, but he did not forcefully ask for a marriage, which changed Jiang Cheng's impression of him a lot.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's continue with the selection of concubines," said the emperor.

"Yes!" The ministers responded.

The concubine selection in the morning was finally over, and before noon, all the ministers were sent home for dinner.Qi and Mo left the palace together with several ministers.

"Prince Qi, it's already noon, I think you haven't eaten yet, not only do you have the honor to invite the prince to have a meal together?" Li Yu, the servant of the household department, said.

Qi and Mo laughed lightly, secretly slandering in their hearts, the meal is a fake, but Gong Nu is the real one.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Li, I have made an appointment with my friend, and I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you. Why don't we meet again next time when we have time!" Qi and Mo laughed.

Although the servant of the household department was not reconciled, he could only do so.After the two parted, Qi and Mo went straight to the west building.

Prime Minister's house.

"Miss, have you heard that the young prince Qi brazenly said that he would marry you at the concubine selection ceremony!" He snorted twice and continued: "What a toad wants to eat swan meat!"

The woman who was studying slowly raised her head upon hearing this.The dazzling sun shone on her clean face, adding a bit of holy breath, she narrowed her eyes, and a cold voice slowly came out from the small cherry mouth: "Chunzhu must not be rude." The voice was cold, But it made the hearts of those who listened feel a little dry and hot for no reason.

"But..." She wanted to say something more, but was forced back by her own lady's eyes.

"Where did he go after leaving the palace?" Jiang Xiyao seemed to have a little smile in his voice.

"Miss, talking about this makes me angry. This person just said at the concubine selection ceremony that you must not marry me, so he turned around... and went to the west building!" Chunzhu stomped his feet and gritted his teeth.

Hearing that the corners of Jiang Xiyao's mouth that were raised just now slowly flattened, her long eyelashes trembled twice, she only nodded her head lightly and continued to read the book in her hand without saying a word.
