Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Palace selection

　　The show girls rested for a day, and the palace election finally came. It was also a good day with warm sunshine and fragrant grass. From time to time, the crisp calls of cuckoos and orioles could be heard outside the window.

　　Meng Sangyu asked Emperor Zhou Wu while adjusting his clothes, "Your Majesty, you really don't want to select a few that you like to keep? I'm afraid you won't like the ones I selected."

　　Emperor Zhou Wu lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, "I don't like anyone except you. Your decision is entirely up to them."

　　"The emperor does not need to select the daughters of important ministers or close ministers for marriage? I don't understand the twists and turns in the court, and I am afraid that I will miss your business." Meng Sangyu would not be moved by the man's sweet words and continued to ask.

　　"Now that the court is under my control, why do we need to rely on marriage to win over people's hearts?" Emperor Wu of Zhou sneered, pinned a Huasheng on his temple, and comforted him softly, "You can keep whoever you want, I don't. Opinions." He had no interest in participating in this palace election and left it to Sang Yu to make the decision. If it weren't for the ancestral rules, he would have wanted to cancel the election. However, considering that his son would get married in the future, he had to suppress this idea. .

　　Meng Sangyu glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I don't keep any of my concubines?"

　　"Then leave no one behind! I will deal with the aftermath for you!" Emperor Zhou Wu hugged her and laughed, bit her lips hard, whispered "jealousy jar" and went straight to court, feeling happier than ever before. . He likes that Sang Yu has the idea of ​​monopolizing himself, because he feels the same way.

　　Meng Sangyu stood at the door of the palace and watched him leave, with a complicated expression.

　　Aunt Feng stepped forward and asked softly, "Mother, are we really leaving no one behind?" She always felt so excited! Yincui and Bishui also looked over with burning eyes.

　　"What are you kidding me, Your Majesty? If I really don't leave anyone behind, I won't have to take the position of imperial concubine." Meng Sangyu waved her hand and walked into the inner hall to catch up on her sleep. The palace selection will not start until after the morning court is over. There is still an hour left, so there is no rush.

　　An hour later, the newly dressed show girls gathered in the open space outside the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, standing in groups of five, waiting for the palace selection. Without the support of the concubine, this is their only chance to meet the emperor, so they naturally have to perform well. Meng Ruizhu was wearing a pink and green gauze skirt, coupled with fresh and elegant makeup, and she did not feel inferior among the beautiful ladies. Her appearance was already good. A few days ago, when Yu Yage was there, she couldn't show it off, but now that Yu Yage is gone, she naturally stands out.

　　The beautiful girls in the same group knew that she was the imperial concubine's sister, and they all came to flatter her, but they were all repelled by her cold face. Hearing the beautiful ladies around her talking about the scandal of Yu Yage being kicked out of the palace because of her "unclean body", she pursed her lips and sneered, her eyes shining with determination.

　　In the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, in addition to the imperial concubine, the four concubines were gathered. Concubine Xian was sitting alone in the corner, her sinister expression and poisonous eyes were intimidating. The newly promoted three concubines had intended to come forward to chat, but they all retreated after meeting her gaze. In the past, the Concubine Xian was not easy to get along with, but now the Concubine Xian is like a fierce ghost, making people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts. There are also those concubines who were once favored for a while, but now they live in seclusion and rarely see each other. Such a change is too sudden, and I don't know what happened that day.

　　Although they are extremely curious, the concubines who are well versed in the rules of survival in the harem all know that there are some things that they cannot explore.

　　After waiting for a while, Meng Sangyu led Shi Shiran, a group of palace servants, into the main hall and sat down on the main throne. The fourth concubine saluted, and when they saw her coming alone, the new concubines and concubines couldn't help but look disappointed. They had not seen the emperor for several months.

　　"Get up." Meng Sangyu raised his hand with a tired look on his face. Spring is indeed a good weather for sleeping, but she has always felt like she hasn't gotten enough sleep recently.

　　"May I ask, your Majesty, why is the Emperor not here?" Concubine Liang asked boldly without getting up.

　　"The Emperor is busy with government affairs and will not come." Meng Sangyu twitched the corners of his lips. After the disappointed Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu sat down, he ordered the eunuch at the entrance of the palace, "Send the first group of beautiful ladies to come in."

　　The five graceful girls walked into the hall and knelt down to salute. They looked like hibiscus and sounded like orioles, which made people forget their vulgarity. Although I have already seen the picture album, I know that the quality of the girls in this year's show is exceptionally outstanding, but it is another feeling to see the real people. Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, who were extremely disappointed just now, couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the emperor didn't come, otherwise they wouldn't have been seduced away.

　　The two of them looked at the imperial concubine with a look of relief on their faces. The imperial concubine has extraordinary means. She defeated Yu Yage with a puppy the day before yesterday. She will not leave any strong enemy behind today.

　　But they soon realized that they were wrong. The imperial concubine was very serious and responsible in selecting them. She had left a name for all those who had outstanding talents, outstanding looks, and prominent family backgrounds. She did not mean to suppress them at all. Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang were shocked. Even Concubine De and Concubine Xian looked at her several times.

　　Meng Sangyu sketched on the roster, put down his pen and called for the next group. He took advantage of the gap between groups to rub his throbbing forehead. When she first entered the palace, she only felt sleepy, but after smelling the incense in the palace for a long time and listening to the beautiful girls playing several times, she became more and more dizzy, her stomach was churning, and she wanted to vomit.

　　The next group of show girls came in quickly and saluted respectfully. Meng Sangyu quickly cheered up and looked at the faces of the five people. When he saw Meng Ruizhu standing with a smile, his eyes darkened.

　　"Let's begin." She waved. A beautiful lady came out in response, briefly introduced herself, answered a few questions raised by the fourth concubine, and then began to perform painting.

　　Meng Sangyu leaned back in his chair, picked up the tea handed by Aunt Feng and sipped it. A sense of sourness rose up in her throat, and she gritted her teeth and held it back.

　　It's Meng Ruizhu's turn to appear. She stepped forward unhurriedly and introduced herself softly. She acted elegantly and smiled calmly throughout the process. Her beauty is a soft beauty, not as sharp as Meng Sangyu's, and it is easy to fall in love with her. Concubine De looked normal and did not ask her any questions, but Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu frequently asked questions. Even Concubine Xian, who had a cold face and kept her sign down, asked a few questions.

　　Seeing their behavior, how could Meng Sangyu not know what they were thinking? The sisters serve the same husband together. They want to find someone to share their favor with. Even if they can't share the favor, it will still make her feel resentful. Meng Ruizhu also had some skills. She left Bixiao Palace yesterday and turned around to catch up with Concubine Xian. When the news came that Shen Huiru had been sentenced to death, she immediately guessed that the other party must have told the truth about the substitute. If it were her, she would do this for the sake of pleasure, and at least it would help a few people to support her. The emperor had some sinister motive in keeping Shen Huiru alive. After all, it was difficult to deal with a large group of hungry and thirsty women. It was better to let them give up completely. She was the only one among all the high-ranking concubines who survived. With the twisted character of the virtuous concubine, it was natural for her to be jealous of her. After this draft, it's time for Concubine Xian to fully recognize the reality.

　　Thinking of this, Meng Sangyu raised his chin, smiled playfully, and his sharp eyes made Meng Ruizhu, who was playing in the audience, pick a wrong note. Her expression changed suddenly, but she quickly adjusted herself. After the performance, the four concubines looked at Meng Sangyu, waiting for her to speak.

　　"Put it down." Meng Sangyu waved his hand casually.

　　The four concubines all showed such expressions.

　　After the imperial concubine, Concubine De also raised her hand and said simply and neatly, "Put it down!" which made Meng Sangyu look at her with a smile.

　　Concubine Xian put down her tea cup, and the slightly raised corners of her lips were full of obvious malice, "I like Miss Meng very much, please leave a sign." After saying this, she smiled, giving people a very sick feeling.

　　"Stay." Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang said one after another. They are happy to do anything that makes the imperial concubine unhappy.

　　Three of the five concubines can pass smoothly if they keep their cards, which means that after the draft, Meng Ruizhu can be promoted to the title of mistress and become one of the emperor's concubines. Meng Ruizhu knelt down to thank her, with a trace of ambition and joy in her eyes.

　　Meng Sangyu glanced at her with a half-smile, sketched out her name, and was about to put down the pen when he suddenly felt that the world was spinning and his body fell to the side involuntarily. Grandma Feng screamed "Mother" in surprise, rushed forward to catch her falling body, and then called the doctor repeatedly.

　　The fourth concubine quickly stood up to take a look. The show girls who had not left the show also showed panic expressions, and the palace suddenly became chaotic.

　　Meng Ruizhu raised her eyebrows in surprise and thought proudly: Are you stimulated by me? So weak! Meng Sangyu, this is just the beginning, you will suffer from it in the future!

　　After carefully carrying the imperial concubine into the side hall and stopping the draft in the main hall, Yu Ya'an immediately sent someone to inform the emperor. Considering how much the emperor cares about the imperial concubine, if he is not notified immediately, he will definitely be outraged.

　　Sure enough, as Yu Ya'an expected, the emperor arrived faster than the imperial doctor. There was a ball of ink on his bright yellow sleeves, which showed how panicked he was.

　　"Why did he suddenly faint? Where is the doctor? Send someone to call him quickly!" He sat on the edge of the bed, stroking the woman's pale face with trembling hands, and his gloomy tone seemed to make water drop.

　　Chang Xi bowed and agreed, exited the hall and gestured towards the void, and the hidden guard hurriedly went to Taiyuan Hospital to find someone.

　　Concubine De was about to reply, but Concubine Liang spoke first, "Back to the emperor, the concubines and the concubines saw that the second lady of the Meng family was extraordinary in virtue, appearance, appearance, and merit, so they decided to keep her name. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine suddenly fainted. .”

　　Concubine Shu echoed a few words, but Concubine Xian was the only one who had been hiding in a corner since the emperor entered the palace, for fear of being seen by him.

　　Concubine De remained silent, her eyes scanning over the emperor's frightened eyes and trembling fingertips, and she smiled sarcastically in her heart. It was just a fainting, but the emperor was so frightened, which shows how much he cares about the imperial concubine. In this stall, it is implied that the imperial concubine is jealous and suppresses her own people, so be careful not to lose more than you gain!

　　Keep the card? Meng Ruizhu? Emperor Wu of Zhou's face became even more gloomy upon hearing this. Sisters serve one husband together, are they humiliating me or Sang Yu? Even I felt sick after hearing this. No wonder Sang Yu fainted!

　　"The memorial of Duke Meng's love is on my desk. After the draft, you will marry Meng Ruizhu on your own. Who told you to make your own decision?" His voice was filled with ice, and he called Concubine Xian. Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang turned pale at once.

　　"Drop Meng Ruizhu's brand for me!" Seeing Sang Yu stir, with a look of uneasiness on his brows, he immediately lowered his voice to the lowest level and held Sang Yu's hand tightly.

　　Concubine Xian's eyes were blood red, Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang were afraid to speak, and looked aggrieved. Concubine De was the only one who stepped forward and agreed in a low voice. Sure enough, this is the result. The emperor really loves the imperial concubine as much as his soul! She sighed in her heart.
