The concubines all noticed the look in Master Zhang's eyes, and they all had a hint of joy and anticipation on their faces. Only Li Qingcheng clenched her hands and had a nervous look in her eyes.
Zhang Shizi was a little curious. Was this person afraid that he would choose her, or was she afraid that he would not choose her? The most important thing was that he felt that the nervous woman in front of him looked familiar.
The corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked at the Queen: "Queen, I want her."
Pointing at Li Qingcheng, Li Qingcheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was also quite favored by Master Zhang.
The Queen raised her eyebrows: "Do you know each other?"
Prince Zhang shook his head: "I don't think I know him, but he looks familiar."
Facing the Queen's question, Prince Zhang decided to tell the truth. The Queen smiled and looked at the two of them: "Then I'm here. Congratulations to you. Li Qingcheng, you and Zhang Qiuming are happily married. I will issue the decree later."
The queen paused for a moment and looked at the many concubines in front of her: "If you have lovers, you can also do as Li Qingcheng did and bring it up yourself. I will fulfill your wish."
Is this kind of fulfillment really fulfillment? Besides, this is only because Prince Zhang made the right choice. If he made the wrong choice, would Li Qingcheng's life be ruined
If they are not chosen, they can go home and marry someone else. There is no need to gamble their whole life, so many concubines became quiet. However, Prince Zhang was a little puzzled. He was just asking for a marriage, why did the concubines react like this
The Queen waved her hand and asked Prince Zhang to take Li Qingcheng downstairs to talk, and then sent Li Qingcheng home. The other girls continued to select.
After leaving the palace gate where the selection was held, Prince Zhang asked Li Qingcheng what was going on. Li Qingcheng just asked Prince Zhang a question: "Why did you choose me?"
Prince Zhang did not hide anything. He was an honest man and said what he thought: "I just felt that you were very nervous. I felt that if I didn't choose you, I would miss something. Plus, you looked familiar, so I just chose you."
Although this answer had nothing to do with love, Li Qingcheng was already very satisfied. Smiling, he told her what had just happened. Zhang Shizi was also shocked and looked at the little girl in front of him with great surprise.
"You are very brave."
This woman loved him very much, as she risked her second half of her life for him. Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "I think it's worth it."
In the hall, the audition was still going on, and another group of people were eliminated and sent back home. Soon it was the turn of the people in Wan Xiangxiang's room to come forward.
When everyone thought that Wan Xiangxiang would be kept, they found that many people stayed in Wan Xiangxiang's room. Lin Zhi was kept, and Xue Qiqi and Chen Yuying were all kept.
Now it was Wei Yuanyi's room's turn, and ten people stood up. Mu Yuanyi shook her hands, and her father said there was no problem, so there should be no problem.
Waiting there, the queen naturally noticed Wei Yuanyi, and thinking of what she had said before, the queen lowered her eyes. It is best to keep such a restless person under her own eyes.
The concubine smiled and said, "The woman in the green dress, look up."
The woman in green was Wei Yuanyi. Wei Yuanyi raised her head and smiled, saying, "I am Yuanyi, the beautiful lady, and I pay my respects to the Empress Chen."
Concubine Chen nodded: "She looks pretty good."
Just as she was about to say that she wanted this concubine, she heard Concubine Yuan suddenly speak up: "Sister Concubine Chen, can you give this concubine to me?"
Yuan Fei hadn't said a word since she sat there, so it was quite strange that she suddenly asked for someone. As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that the queen and others were looking at her, and Yuan Fei was a little embarrassed to speak.
"I just think that I like her looks, so sister, is it okay?"
Concubine Chen shook her head directly: "No, I also like her. I will choose her, you can take a look."
Princess Yuan's face darkened, and then she could only nod: "Okay then. I'll take the one next to her."
The girl standing next to Wei Yuanyi didn't expect that luck would suddenly befall her, and she immediately began to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Empress Yuan."
Princess Yuan nodded, feeling somewhat bored. The rest of the people were naturally sent out, and Wei Yuanyi was relieved. As long as she was kept, she would definitely be able to make the emperor fall in love with her and give birth to a prince for him.
The next candidates were the same, and several concubines decided to leave some behind. Soon it was Gong Shanshan's room's turn. As soon as Gong Shanshan came in, Concubine Yuan spoke.
"That girl named Gong Shanshan, I want her."
This time, the imperial concubine seemed to be very strong. Gong Shanshan was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy appeared on her face. She could stay in the palace.
Concubine Chen snorted coldly: "No, I want this person."
Concubine Yuan frowned and looked at Concubine Chen in front of her: "Sister Concubine Chen, don't you think this is too much? I gave you Wei Yuanyi just now, and you want Gong Shanshan too. Do you want everyone you like?"
Want them all? The Concubine Chen laughed: "Why? I want all the people I like. Is there any problem?"
Princess Yuan frowned and said, "Sister, are you going too far? I am not someone you can easily bully. You must give me one, Wei Yuanyi or Gong Shanshan."
The Concubine Chen suddenly laughed: "Oh? After all this time, it's because of Wei Yuanyi. You just like Wei Yuanyi, but it's a pity that I don't want to give her to you. Not even one."
Concubine Yuan immediately felt aggrieved and looked at the Empress: "Look, Empress, Sister Chen is going too far."
The Queen glanced at Concubine Yuan and said, "What are you talking about? There are so many concubines, why do you have to choose the same one as Concubine Chen? Can't you choose another concubine yourself?"
The matter was settled by the Empress. Wei Yuanyi and Gong Shanshan followed Concubine Chen. Concubine Yuan was so angry that her face turned pale, but she could do nothing.
They could only sit there quietly. When the others saw this scene, especially the newly selected concubines, they were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. Where was the harmonious harem? What was going on
The selection of beauties did not take long. There were six people, including five concubines and the queen, and each person selected about five.
In other words, there are only thirty beauties who can stay in the palace this time. All the people in Chuxiu Palace have been sent away, and now there are only these thirty people living there, which makes sense.
It was still Nanny Qin who brought thirty young ladies to Chuxiu Palace: "Congratulations to all the young ladies for successfully staying in the palace. Now that there are not many people, we can live in more spacious places. How about this, let's organize it ourselves, three people in a room, and choose your own. Well, when the accommodation for each young lady is allocated, there will be people to serve you."
Lin Zhi, Xue Qingqing and Chen Yuying had lived in the same room before and were familiar with each other.
Now the three of them live in one room, that's perfect, Lin Zhi also likes living with these two people. So when Nanny Qin said that, Lin Zhi asked the two of them: "Xue Qingqing, Chen Yuying, how about the three of us continue to live together?"
As soon as Lin Zhi finished speaking, she heard Julie's voice: "Sister Lin, I'm afraid you still don't understand. We are both chosen by Empress Yuan, so it's better for us to live together."
This makes sense. But Xue Qingqing and Chen Yuying have a good relationship. They looked at each other and said, "How about we live together?"
Chen Yuying nodded, and the two looked at Lin Zhi: "Sister Lin Zhi, do you want to live with us?"
Lin Zhi looked at Julie who was speaking, then looked at the two people here, and then shook her head: "I think what Julie said is right, we are different now."
Xue Qingqing nodded and said nothing more: "That's fine, then Yuying and I will find someone else to live with."
As soon as the words fell, Miss Yuelian came over and said, "How about I live with you guys?"
This was also the person chosen by Concubine Han. They seemed to be in the same camp and seemed easy to get along with. So the two agreed: "Then Sister Yuelian, we will be good sisters from now on."
The others were just like those three people, each looking for their sisters to reallocate their rooms, but some were not so lucky, and there would always be someone sharing a room with someone from another camp.
After Nanny Qin waited for everyone to choose their rooms, she went to report to the Queen. The Queen was also thinking about how to settle these concubines and in which palace to arrange them.
You know, there are many noble ladies, concubines, and imperial concubines in the palace. Now there are thirty more, which is really difficult to deal with.
The queen looked at the people around her and said, "What do you think of the arrangements for these women?"
Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen. These women are all willing to stay in the harem. Many of them want to make a name for themselves. They will choose which palace to live in."
That's true, these girls are not content. And they were chosen just to entertain people, the queen looked at Qin Ma.
"Mammy, please give them more convenience and see how they can play."
There must be few girls who are content with what they are doing. After thinking for a while, Concubine Chen said, "Well, especially Gong Shanshan's food, don't give her too much. Tell her that only when she is favored can she eat enough, or even eat well."
She wanted to see how naive Gong Shanshan really was! Rather than testing her, she wanted to see how far Gong Shanshan could go in order to get enough food.
As they were talking, the emperor walked in and said, "It's quite lively."
The concubines stood up and greeted: "Your Majesty."
