Chapter 122 The Concubines Are Actively Preparing
Yuan's chubby face was puffed up like a bun, and he sighed: [I thought I could lie down for a while after receiving so many money gifts and points, but I didn't expect to have to stand up again. ]
The system suddenly became serious: [Aruan, how can you lie down? You are the destiny of the country. 】
Yuanruan: [Fifty points, fifty points.]
The system was silent for a while: [It’s okay, you will continue to grow up anyway, but you will become pale and thin. ]
Yuanruan: [? ? ? ]
The Emperor and his party: ???
System: [Aruan, you are the embodiment of Daxia's national destiny. When the national destiny is strong, you will become more and more beautiful and your body will get better and better. When the national destiny is ordinary, you will naturally be ordinary.]
Yuan Ruan was shocked: [My God, what if the country's luck is very weak? I won't be a baby all my life. ]
System: [That won’t happen! We are serious and won’t be so inhumane. But… it’s what I lamented before, maybe it’s the appearance of being 1.3 meters tall and malnourished.]
Yuan Ruan: [Frog Fun! Then this national destiny mission must be started. I will go to court tomorrow. When the time comes, Tong'er, you go and touch their melons to see if you can trigger a national destiny mission.]
System: [Okay, Ah Ruan! ]
At this moment, news suddenly came from outside that the empress and concubines had arrived.
The emperor was a little confused.
But he still motioned for them to come in.
Soon, the empress and her concubines, dressed in their best clothes, appeared before everyone.
The emperor stepped forward and lifted the queen's hand as she saluted.
He whispered: "Why are there so many people?"
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, the sisters in the palace admire the Imperial Master very much. This morning, they came to me one after another, saying that they wanted to present a gift of marriage to bring blessings. I thought that today is the big day for Jiu'er to move to her mansion. Since it is not convenient for outsiders to enter the harem, it is better to invite the sisters to come and liven up the party for Xiao Jiu."
The emperor hummed without knowing his expression, and patted the back of her hand gently: "You always know the general situation."
The queen pursed her lips and smiled.
Here, Yuanruan looked at the many beauties with curiosity.
To be honest, she had been in the palace for several months and had hardly seen other concubines, so when the concubines made their debut, Yuan Ruan instantly imagined a lot of grand dramas of War and Beauty.
She wished she could hold a melon seed in her hand and watch the concubines vying for the emperor's attention.
But he never expected that the concubines would exclude the emperor.
They all came over to Yuanruan one by one and started to cling to her.
"I finally get to meet the little imperial master. As soon as I left Jingyang Palace, I was delighted to see him. This jade bracelet looks like it has something to do with the little imperial master. I'm giving it to you."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor is young, and I don't have much to do in Yanxi Palace. I wonder if I could come over and walk around more often."
"Your head is a little plain. I made some beautiful jade beads, which are just right for you. If you like it in the future, I have plenty more in my Zhongcui Palace..."
…
The emperor watched as the concubines pushed him away in an attempt to squeeze in.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: ...
Are you so eager to have the young imperial master remember your palace? So that he can turn over the name card?
Yuan Ruan was shocked. What was going on? Why were they all coming for him?
If the Seventh Princess Qi Yue hadn't walked in with a stern face and carried her out in silence but firmly, Yuan Ruan would have worried that even her hair would be messed up by these people.
System: [My God, Ah Ruan, you are really popular. ]
Yuan Ruan covered her small mouth and said: [I didn't expect that either. Maybe they were just seeing something strange?]
The system looked at the wolf-like eyes nearby, but always felt that it was not quite like that.
Later it was proved that it was not.
Most of the concubines always rallied around Yuan Ruan.
One said that he grew up with his siblings and was good at playing with children, so he could spend more time playing with the little princess. Another said that his little chef was good at cooking the cuisine of the other three kingdoms and was very delicious, so he could make delicious meals for the little princess. There was even one who said that he liked making clothes for children, so he could make long skirts for the little princess...
After listening for a while, the system found another secret about the emperor.
System: [Aruan, it turns out that a court official wrote to the emperor, saying that children of the royal family are prone to dying at the age of three. The little imperial teacher is also a little princess, so she should choose a minister's house to live in as soon as possible.]
Yuan Ruan: [What? The palace also has this... ah, right, right, it seems that the twins, the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince, don't live in the palace.]
System: [Right. Your brother said in the court that the young imperial tutor is different from ordinary princes and princesses. Even if he lives there, he will only stay for a short time at the courtiers' house. As for the candidate, he will arrange it as soon as possible. Then some courtiers who have concubines wrote private letters to the concubines, asking them to treat you unconditionally, so these concubines are so attentive. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Oh, it’s all my brother’s fault.]
The emperor's mouth twitched: ...
Don't you enjoy being complimented? How can it be my fault?
The queen gave the emperor a shocked look.
I hope those courtiers are okay.
Aren’t they afraid that their inner thoughts will be exposed after they take them home?
The emperor noticed the queen's eyes, withdrew from Yuanruan who was surrounded by concubines, squeezed the queen's hand, and said in a low voice: "The courtiers who have no big ghosts in their hearts will want to use this power to eliminate possible troubles in the family as soon as possible."
The Queen understood, and that was right. It would definitely be better if she could discover the things done by the Minister of Works, such as Jia Jinxi's work, in private first.
At the same time, the emperor sneered again and said, "People with evil intentions will also take the initiative to avoid my suspicion."
The Queen nodded in agreement and added, "Your Majesty. However, those who have something to hide might be more proactive. Jiu'er doesn't know that we can hear it, so she won't repeat the gossip she has eaten. If this gossip is exposed in private, those who have something to hide will have more time to choose what to do next."
The emperor's face darkened and he patted the queen gently.
In addition to the emperor and empress, other netizens who could hear the inner voices also exchanged understanding looks with each other.
Except for Concubine De.
Coincidentally, no one has ever communicated with Concubine De to see if she can hear Yuan Ruan's inner thoughts.
In other words, she was the only one in the palace who didn't know that Yuan Ruan's thoughts could be heard by some people.
So after receiving the letter from her mother, she was both greedy for Yuanruan's influence and a little afraid of his ability to expose the truth.
After thinking about it, she kept turning her Buddhist beads, and finally whispered, "Your Majesty, I have educated two children and am good at poetry and singing. I can accompany the little princess to study."
System: [It’s not okay to raise a naughty kid like this. 】
Yuanruan: [Yes, study, naughty kid, no, no. ]
The gentle expression of Concubine De was frozen in place. She glanced at the Third Prince and found that he shook his head slightly. The expression on Concubine De's face became even more stiff. Then she secretly left during the halftime performance. But except for the Third Prince, no one noticed that she left in anger.
Amidst the flowers and decorations, Qiao Qian's banquet ended successfully.
Yuanruan and the system began to search for the national destiny mission with high emotions.
At first, the court officials expected the emperor to send Yuan Ruan to live in their homes for a while.
But after hearing what the queen said, the emperor did not rush to make a decision.
Then, the court officials received the emperor's clear instruction on the "mission to pray for the soldiers", and they were all in high spirits and mentally prepared for the news to break.
But soon they couldn't bear it anymore.
