"This, this...she, she..." Murong Lie's eyes froze.
"She, she is from the Minister of Rites' family?" Murong Lie looked surprised.
The look that girl gave Jiang Wanyue was too hot and greedy.
It is obvious that he is interested in Jiang Wanyue.
She actually likes women!
Murong Lie was still dissatisfied when Zuo Yexuan rejected his choice of the Crown Prince's concubine not long ago.
At this moment, his face was filled with grief.
"Yeah." Zuo Yexuan nodded expressionlessly.
"Yes, this is the Crown Princess that His Majesty carefully selected."
"How is it? Is Your Majesty satisfied?" Zuo Yexuan curled her lips, her tone cold and emotionless.
"I, I don't know..." Murong Lie stammered. He wanted to explain, but Zuo Yexuan turned her head to look the other way.
"Well, that is the daughter of the other Minister of Works whom Your Majesty has chosen."
"She is indeed beautiful and has a great figure." Zuo Yexuan continued and nodded her chin in one direction.
Murong Lie followed his gaze.
I was almost angry to the point of having a heart attack.
If Wu Qianqian's appearance can be described as clever and cute, she is quite pretty.
At this moment, the situation of the daughter of the Minister of Works is simply hard to describe.
At this moment, the daughter of the Minister of Works was supporting her bloated body, her eyes darting around, and she never stopped eating the candies and desserts in her mouth.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly, covered her lower abdomen, waved her hands in pain, and gave a few instructions to the maid beside her.
The next moment, the maid waved her hand and called three maids, who then dragged the daughter of the Minister of Works out.
"Ahem, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... How could I choose such a concubine for the Crown Prince?"
"It's all the fault of that painter's exaggerated painting skills. I will chop off his head when I get back."
Murong Lie's face was also ashen at this moment.
He glanced coldly at where Xu Shilin was.
He remembered that it was Xu Shilin who took out the paintings of the young ladies of marriageable age in Beijing and discussed the prince's lifelong affairs with him.
These two concubines were also repeatedly praised by Xu Shilin.
I didn't expect the truth to be like this!
Murong Lie looked at Xu Shilin with complicated eyes.
He likes the innocence, purity, frankness and agility of this person whom he has treated sincerely for more than ten years...
But, when did it start?
The little white flower that he cultivated with great care has actually changed its taste?
At this moment, Murong Lie was very angry.
He didn't mind the concubines in his harem using any means necessary to win his favor.
After all, it's just because they love themselves too much, what's wrong with them?
However, he could not tolerate their disregard for the royal dignity.
Although, he didn't like the prince very much.
But after all, he is his own child and represents the royal family's reputation.
Murong Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, the country women outside the palace are different from the noble ladies carefully trained by the wealthy aristocrats.
"Ahem, the choice of concubine still needs careful consideration..."
Murong Lie pretended to be calm.
"Isn't there a candidate for the Crown Princess? Look at Princess Mingyue..." Murong Lie said, trying to divert Zuo Yexuan's attention.
"Oh? That Princess Mingyue?" Zuo Yexuan pursed her lips sarcastically.
Zhao Mingyue, dressed in gorgeous palace dress, had a flushed face and was staring at the direction of Crown Prince Murong Ye without blinking.
“…” Murong Lie was speechless.
"Ahem, at least, she looks stunning. More importantly, she has been in love with Ye'er for a long time and will definitely be able to help Ye'er."
Murong Lie was still trying to make amends for himself.
"Really? A princess of a different surname, with only a title and no fiefdom, I simply cannot imagine what is so special about her that she caught the eye of Your Majesty."
"Or, in your Majesty's eyes, my concubine Ye'er is only worthy of these kinds of people?"
Zuo Yexuan turned her head, and deep in her eyes was undisguised coldness and anger.
That time, the Dog Emperor came to discuss Ye'er's lifelong affairs with him.
She guessed that it must be that woman Xu Shilin who was whispering something in the emperor's ear.
Although she refused verbally that day, she was indirectly reminding Murong Lie.
Wu Qianqian, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, is in love with a girl, while Liu Qingqing, the daughter of the Minister of Works, is not good-looking.
Even though they were kept tightly guarded in their respective mansions.
But if you investigate carefully, you can find the truth.
Obviously, the Dog Emperor never cared about Ye'er's affairs from beginning to end.
Zuo Yexuan sneered in her heart.
As for why Wu Qianqian and Liu Qingqing were specially brought to this New Year's banquet by their family, it was naturally because she specially invited them.
She just wanted to let the dog emperor see with his own eyes what kind of weirdo the prince's concubine he had chosen was!
"Let's discuss it later, let's discuss it later. There's no rush. It's better to let Ye'er choose the Crown Princess himself." Murong Lie smiled awkwardly.
Zuo Yexuan remained silent, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Dog Emperor in her heart.
Next, Murong Lie began a long speech of formality.
The general content is nothing more than summarizing the achievements of the past year and commending and affirming the heroes.
Next is to look forward to the new year and paint a big, round pie for all civil and military officials.
Finally, the New Year banquet is about to begin amid the happy laughter of everyone.
During this time, Murong Lie also received a message from the Queen Mother that she was ill and had to miss the annual banquet.
Murong Lie was worried when he heard this, and immediately sent the eunuch beside him to investigate.
On this side, at Murong Lie's signal, the singing girls entered the annual banquet one by one.
