Concubine is too beautiful

Chapter 5

Lianrong shook her head like a rattle, and wanted to persuade Zuo Mingyuan again.Zuo Mingyuan said: "Don't say it, I understand what you mean, but many things will not happen if you don't want to do them. If they are destined to happen, we'd better think about it and let it happen, otherwise we will I’m afraid I don’t feel very well.”

"Your Highness!"

Lianrong called urgently, but Zuo Mingyuan didn't listen, she turned out of the screen, and said to Ming An at the door: "Ming Gonggong, let's go!" Ming An still stood respectfully at the door, waiting for Zuo Mingyuan to come, first she One step ahead leads the way to the Royal Garden.

The Imperial Garden is colorful today, with all kinds of flowers on both sides of the road, guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, as soon as Zuo Mingyuan arrived, they knelt down on one knee and waited for her to pass by before getting up.Zuo Mingyuan looked at a bright yellow treasure cover from a distance, embroidered with two dragons chasing pearls, and the person sitting under the cover, wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, was Zuo Mingzhi.He talks and laughs freely, pointing east and west with great pride, in front of him is a line of civil and military officials, and between civil and military personnel stands eighteen candidates for imperial wives, all of whom are brightly dressed, and the purple and gold crowns on their heads are shining, standing in front of them , there are two middle-aged women, Nangong Mingxiu and Wei Ying.

The two leaned their heads together, pointing and commenting.

Seeing such a situation, Zuo Mingyuan couldn't help smiling, and covered it up with his sleeve so as not to be seen and gossip. These stalwart men, like a blind date team, pick and choose, and they are no different from the vegetables and radishes in the vegetable market.Self-deprecation is also, but who wants to self-deprecation?But the situation forced it, so there was nothing to do.

Zuo Mingyuan's smile gradually narrowed, and Ming An invited An with him.

"Your brother has met the emperor, long live long live." She cupped her fists and bowed to the end, respectful and gentlemanly, she knew that she, like others, was also a radish to be picked, not troublesome, picky It is also troublesome to get on.So laugh at others first, then yourself.

Zuo Mingzhi said: "You don't need to be polite, Brother Nine Emperors, this is the envoy from Daughter Kingdom, the former king."

"Meet the envoy."

Zuo Mingzhi pointed to another person, "That's the prime minister of Daughter Country."

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

Both sides have returned gifts.Nangong Mingxiu looked Zuo Mingyuan up and down, and then looked away, she knew it well.I have heard that the Nine Sage Kings are quite talented and even more beautiful. When I saw them today, they were indeed 'extraordinary', much more pleasing to the eye than the eighteen ones in front of me.In this way, if you don't choose him, who else will you choose? It's just some procedural matters, and you have to walk away.

She and Wei Ying were examining the candidate imperial husbands.

"If you are the emperor's husband, how should you serve him?"

One person replied: "If a villain is the husband of the emperor, he must do his best. Outside, he must repay the emperor's favor; inside, he must serve the king respectfully." Nangong Mingxiu nodded, and asked another question. one person.

"Leaving the country, will you be homesick?"

"Family is a private matter. For the emperor's husband, it is a business matter. I dare not forget the public with my private affairs."

After asking a lot, Nangong Mingxiu smiled, turned around and replied to Zuo Mingzhi, "Your Majesty's subjects are all loyal and love the Lord, I really feel envious." Zuo Mingzhi felt a radiance on his face.

Modestly said: "Where, I still have a lot of shortcomings. I don't know if the princess has a satisfactory candidate?"

Nangong Mingxiu just smiled and said nothing, the corners of her mouth seemed to start to twitch again when she thought of that wayward daughter, whether these shy and lovely lords who are loyal and loving to the Lord, can live up to their daughters in the middle school, she wondered I really don't have that confidence. Don't let these beautiful flowers be destroyed by that hot hand. After all, she came to propose marriage on a risk. If Nangong Wutian refuses to die after returning, what will she do?

"Haha, yes, there is, but it hasn't been decided yet, let me discuss it with the prime minister."

Zuo Mingzhi stretched out his hand, "Please."

Nangong Mingxiu nodded with a smile, and went to whisper with Wei Ying, either smiling or seriously, and suddenly Nangong Mingxiu asked Zuo Mingzhi, "I don't know if His Royal Highness is married or not?"

"My younger brother is very precious, and I haven't had time to marry him yet."

"If His Highness the Xianwang doesn't mind, I also have some questions to ask." Nangong Mingxiu said to Zuo Mingyuan.

Zuo Mingyuan replied: "My envoy, I would like to ask you, I know everything I can say, and I can say everything."

Nangong Mingxiu nodded, and then asked Zuo Mingzhi, "May your Majesty allow me to have a word with King Xian?"

Zuo Mingzhi couldn't wait for this, he said: "It's okay, it's okay." The emperor's attitude seemed to be a little anxious, which made all the civil and military officials secretly "taste" it. It seems that the rumors that the emperor and the Nine Sage Kings were at odds were true So, does he want to take this opportunity to give the virtuous king to the king of the daughter country as the emperor's husband?

Everyone's eyes are just flying here and there, and they 'know each other well'.One of them couldn't hold back, his name was Li Xun, he stood up, his whole body was round, like a dumpling, he came out and said: "Your Majesty, come and envoy, this matter must never be done."

Nangong Mingxiu smiled and asked: "Why not? Are you afraid that your virtuous king is not smart enough to answer my question?"

Li Xun was speechless. The people from Daughter Kingdom obviously wanted to ask other questions. If Zuo Mingyuan was involved in the casting of the emperor's husband, then he might be favored by people from Daughter Kingdom. , Isn't Zuo Mingyuan's behind-the-scenes team going to disintegrate automatically?The emperor's move is clearly to disintegrate them.

Zuo Mingzhi didn't expect someone to come out, and he got angry in his heart, and shouted: "Bold, there is no place for you to speak here. The envoy is here, so don't retreat quickly." He was afraid that someone would spoil his plan.

Li Xun withdrew, while showing Zuo Mingyuan with his eyes, asking her not to answer the question particularly brilliantly, lest the former king of the Daughter Country would take a fancy to it.When Zuo Mingyuan saw it, he just sighed in his heart. Now she can go up if she can, and she can go up if she can't, just because "people are knives, I'm fish", with a faint smile on her face.

"Since Your Majesty has also agreed, allow me to ask a few small questions. If, I say, if, if King Xian has the opportunity to be the emperor's husband, how will he treat his daughter?"

Sure enough, it was this question, Li Xun was so anxious that his eyes almost popped out, and he wanted Zuo Mingyuan to answer it badly in his heart.He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe out, and his neck was thick with jealousy.

Zuo Mingyuan smiled lightly, while thinking in his heart: "The king of the country of daughters came here to seek marriage. It seems that the king is not very interested in women in the country. If Nangong Mingxiu knows that I am also a woman, I don't know how to laugh and cry. I'm in a bad mood, but now I'm: riding a tiger is hard to get off, I can't make the decision, and I have to say some answers they want."

"Love her, take care of her, and tolerate her. Even if you are a king, you don't want to accommodate her too much."

Nangong Mingxiu frowned, "What if she bullies you, are you wronged?"

"Between a husband and wife, how can they be considered bullying if they are noisy, and no one is completely immune to grievances."

This mentality is good, but when Nangong Mingxiu thought of that domineering daughter, he felt a certain nerve in his temple twitching.She said: "The virtuous king has cultivated well. I don't know that some girls are the overlord flowers in the tough, and they can't control them."

Zuo Mingyuan couldn't help being taken aback by her emotion, and then smiled and said: "If you can't control it, then just follow her."

Nangong Mingxiu laughed, "Interesting, interesting. As expected of a virtuous king, if you can't control her, then follow her, okay, okay!" She turned to Zuo Mingzhi, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there are so many loyal and patriotic subjects, It is really a blessing to have such a talented younger brother, this big left is really full of talents."

"Congratulations, I wonder who the princess is looking for?"

Nangong Mingxiu just smiled, "It's all good, all is good, I was dazzled by seeing it for a while, and I couldn't make a choice."

When there is no choice, there is also a way.

"Then let them all go to the Daughter Country, and let the king personally choose the one he likes."

Good is good, but if one is missing, it's like a ring has a gold base with a dazzling diamond missing, which is a fly in the ointment after all.

Zuo Mingzhi checked his mind and smiled endlessly.He knew that Nangong Mingxiu would not let Zuo Mingyuan go, but want those beautiful men from the people. The so-called marriage can be summed up in one sentence: the right family.Since the other party is the king, it is more agreeable that this candidate is from the royal generation, the taste of life is more congenial, and the eyes are slightly closer, so he must 'cut love'.

"I don't know what the princess thinks about our Nine Sage Kings?"

When Zuo Mingzhi said this, the audience was in an uproar.Many ministers disagreed one after another. This is the emperor's own brother, and there are many supporters of Zuo Mingyuan, who even said "no". What do they know, what the throne always needs is not blood brothers, but decisiveness, if not decisive, there will be disasters in the future."

Nangong Mingxiu said: "That's good, but..." She looked at the ministers who opposed her, "The virtuous king is too precious, and he is the emperor's brother. If you cut love like this, even if the emperor agrees, I am afraid that the nine virtuous kings will not agree." Agree? As the saying goes: twisted melons are not sweet."

Zuo Mingzhi asked: "Ninth brother, do you agree to be the husband of the king of the daughter country?"

They had discussed it in private, Zuo Mingyuan said: "If the king doesn't dislike me, I would like to serve you."

Zuo Mingzhi rejoiced and said: "Okay! Today's matter has been decided!" All the ministers remained silent, some people hated and wanted to do Zuo Mingyuan's ideological work in private, how could the Nine Wise Kings agree to it?With this promise, he will stay away from the throne, give up such a good country, and become the husband of a woman, leaving his relatives. Is this really good?

Zuo Mingzhi wanted to throw a banquet to celebrate, and thought that Zuo Mingyuan's body had not fully recovered, so he asked her to rest first.After Zuo Mingyuan left, Nangong Mingxiu asked Zuo Mingzhi very worriedly, "Is His Royal Highness not in good health?"

But it's really a pity, she doesn't want a sick man to be her son-in-law.Mainly the sickly son-in-law, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up to the hot hand flower in the country.
