Chapter 121 Beauty Contest



However, after the emperor had done this, Qiao Yuange naturally lost all patience, so she said to the emperor: "Since you don't like what I chose, why don't you make the choice yourself? Maybe it will be better this way?"

After saying this, Qiao Yuange was about to leave, but even so, the emperor still didn't react. He nodded repeatedly and said, "You're right. Let's choose these two. They don't look like they would cause trouble."

"Hey, where are you going? Why did you leave?" The emperor shouted hurriedly behind Qiao Yuange, but Qiao Yuange had already returned to his own little room.

The next morning, when Qiao Yuange woke up, he walked out of the small room.

Today is the wedding day of Xiao Yuli and Fang Yuan.

Originally this was a happy day, but because neither party had any feelings for the other, this happy event would probably be hastily concluded.

She walked to the main hall of Taixing Palace and saw the head nanny leading the maids to clean up.

Seeing Qiao Yuange coming, the head nanny said to her, "Why are you still here? Isn't today the wedding of Xiao Yuli and Fang Yuan? Why didn't you go?"

Qiao Yuange also took a rag and started to clean up. As she cleaned up, she said, "Why would I go there? What qualifications do I have to go there? I'm just a maid."

The eldest nanny snatched the rag from her hand and said to her, "But you are Xiao Yuli's sister. Besides, if you go over secretly to take a look, maybe no one will say anything. Come on, I'll go with you."

Although Qiao Yuange pretended to be casual on the surface, he actually wanted to see what would happen when these two big enemies got together.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Qiao Yuange actually hoped that these two people would torture each other together. After all, they were both Qiao Yuange's relatives, but they hurt Qiao Yuange the most.

The head nanny took Qiao Yuange's hand, and the two of them came to the courtyard where Xiao Yuli lived.

Although Xiao Yuli strongly requested that everything be kept simple this time, Fang Yuan was Xiao Yuli's wife after all, so the courtyard where Xiao Yuli lived was still decorated quite exquisitely, with lights and decorations, red cloth hanging everywhere, and red window grilles.

There were several tables in the yard, and many men were sitting at them, all of them seemed to be officials.

These people were toasting each other. Xiao Yuli, wearing a bright red wedding gown and with his hair neatly combed, was toasting at each table.

There was a small sedan parked next to the yard, and it was obvious that Fang Yuan had been brought here.

Qiao Yuange stood outside the yard and looked inside, his eyes flashing.

She pursed her lips, then couldn't help laughing.

The head nanny also looked inside and chuckled and said, "Fang Yuan. As the prince's legal wife, she was sent in like this. This is the first time I've seen one since I became a servant. Although Fang Yuan's family is indeed not worthy of the prince, doing this is still a slap in the face of the Fang family."

Qiao Yuange frowned, and of course felt that Xiao Yuli's behavior was completely unnecessary.

Even though Fang Yuan was not worthy of him, she was still his sister. Why did he treat his sister like this?

After all, Fang Yuan didn't want to marry him.

The emperor sat in the main seat. At his table were the empress dowager, Xiao Taiping, Xiao Liang and Concubine An.

Although Concubine An wanted to come out this time because she was put in solitary confinement for Xiao Liang, the Emperor was very firm in his attitude and would not let this woman out no matter what, so she could only stare blankly.

Shu Fei was also sitting at this table. Her eyes were red. It was obvious that General Shu's recent affairs made her very upset, and she couldn't recover for a while.

The emperor just turned his head and saw Qiao Yuange standing in the corner, pretending to be busy. He seemed to be amused and waved to Qiao Yuange to come over.

Qiao Yuange thought to himself, is the emperor acting like this because he is afraid that he won’t die fast enough?

Besides, the emperor was already selecting beauties last night, and now he suddenly asked me to go over. It seems that in the emperor's heart, he still has the ancient thinking and believes that men should have three wives and four concubines.

She doesn't want to have any contact with this kind of bastard!

But there was no way; she could not disobey the emperor's order, so she could only walk over slowly and salute everyone at the table one by one.

Of course, the Queen Mother and others didn't look unhappy when they saw Qiao Yuange.

Especially the Queen Mother, she had dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't sleep well last night.

Although she really wanted to target Qiao Yuange, she had no choice. She didn't have the mind to do so at this moment.

She rubbed her temple with her hand, her eyes fell on the emperor, and her voice sounded quite tired.

"Your Majesty, it will be your Concubine Li's death anniversary in a few days, right?"

When the Queen Mother said this, Qiao Yuange was stunned, but the Emperor seemed quite calm. He nodded, did not look at the Queen Mother, and just said: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was silent for a long while, then said helplessly: "In previous years, you went to worship by yourself. This year, I will go with you to see your concubine."

"Pfft..." When the emperor heard the empress dowager say this, he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor's attitude, she knew that he was actually mocking her.

Why pretend to be an alien when the person is dead? Do you think that if you pretend to be an alien, you can pretend that the things that happened before never happened?

But the Emperor's Concubine Qi did die because of the Empress Dowager!

Although the emperor did not say anything, Concubine An beside him looked down on the empress dowager's hypocritical appearance and said to her coldly, "Sister Tu, who among these people sitting here doesn't know that you had the worst relationship with the emperor's concubine, and that she even died because of you? What else do you have to say?"

"Now that such a long time has passed, you are pretending that you know nothing and that you are an ordinary person. Isn't this a bit embarrassing?"

It was obvious that Concubine Dowager An said these words without fear of the Queen Mother getting angry.

Although the Queen Mother was sitting in this position at the moment, the late Emperor had already passed away, and no one could judge the lawsuit between the two men.

Anyway, these people have lived long enough, so if they die, they die.

However, Concubine An at least had a son, while the Queen Mother only had a daughter, so naturally her life was not as secure as Concubine An's.

Of course, when Concubine An said this, the Queen Mother turned her head and stared at her. It looked like she wanted to eat her, but Concubine An had already gotten used to it.
