"She's pretty and well-behaved, so just stay!"
Sheng Wu put down the teacup in her hand with a "bang".
He stopped Concubine Zhang from speaking and had no intention of discussing it with her.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhang's beautiful face couldn't help but gloom, and the fingers holding the handkerchief under her sleeve tightened.
What does Sheng Wu mean by this? She really thinks that being the empress dowager is a great thing!
Coincidentally, Concubine Zhang was once acquainted with Sheng Wu. After all, Shengjing is so small, and there are only a few top noble ladies.
Especially since they were both engaged to Xiao Luochen, they naturally disliked each other.
Then, Feng Xiyun, who knew that she was good-looking and that the Empress Dowager Shengwu, who had feelings for the Emperor, would not keep her, suddenly looked up in surprise.
He was very surprised, but he also knew his limits and quickly restrained his expression.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
I felt a little more favorable towards Sheng Wu's gentle and smiling appearance.
It seems that this Sheng Wu is not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say.
Of course, this is just the preliminary selection, so Xiao Luochen doesn't need to show up, Sheng Wu will just screen some.
Fortunately, the imperial garden was big enough. The concubines who had not yet participated in the selection waited on the left, while the selection took place in the middle. Those who had already been selected, whether they passed or not, had to wait on the right.
Finally, they bowed to Sheng Wu and the concubines and took their leave, thanking God for his great grace.
Therefore, Feng Xiyun will soon retract his previous statement about his favorable impression of Sheng Wu.
Look, more than 30 people have been selected.
Everyone understood, and Shengwu’s selection criteria was simply good looks!
As long as it looks good, he would give it to her without saying anything. Sheng Wu was even very happy to praise it and was very kind.
The girls who had previously had a bad impression of her were all blushing after being praised.
As expected, hearsay is not to be believed. What a good woman!
Of course, this conversation didn't last long before he was so frightened that he didn't dare even look at Sheng Wu.
I saw five people, who knew how many waves there were, coming forward together.
"The concubine of the General's Mansion, Sheng Huayao."
"Hello, Queen Mother!"
This time, the scene that was still slightly noisy around suddenly became quiet.
Even the two imperial concubines, who had no say in the entire process and had no decision-making power, all looked sideways, put down the tea in their hands, and looked at the people who came out of the general's mansion below the stage.
His eyes were filled with amusement as he watched the show.
Sheng Wu, who was a little tired of seeing too many beauties and praising them, gently twisted a cup of tea in her hand, opened her red lips and drank slowly.
That is, Sheng Huayao, who was bowing, was not allowed to get up.
Sheng Huayao in the audience also knew that Sheng Wu would not be so easy to talk to, so she had already made preparations when she came.
Sheng Wu would be more or less concerned about the reputation of the General's Mansion, and at most would say a few words to her in a non-threatening manner. She would wait until she became a concubine and gave birth to an heir to the emperor, and then she would see how she would deal with her, a empress dowager without any children!
So, no one spoke and no one dared to get up.
The people around him also held their breath and dared not speak.
Sheng Wu also finished the tea in her hand and put the cup aside.
"Suyi, it's been so long. I see those concubines are tired. Please light a stick of incense and let them rest for a while before starting again. It's a good opportunity for me to rest too."
"Yes!" Su Yi responded.
If you really want to, place a stick of incense in the center of the hall.
When these words were spoken, many ladies frowned slightly, as everyone knew what was going on.
Is it that Sheng Wu wants to take a rest, or is he trying to embarrass Sheng Huayao in various ways?
Look, the other two concubines of the general's mansion on the left who have not yet participated in the election are already pale and want to flee.
When she was in the general's mansion, the eldest sister was already domineering enough. They usually didn't dare to confront her. Unexpectedly, when she came to the imperial palace with strict rules and many nobles, she became even more unrestrained!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sun became more and more scorching.
Sheng Wu had a eunuch holding an umbrella for her, so she didn't feel tired at all. Although those pampered concubines felt a little uncomfortable in the sun, it was okay and they didn't dare to say anything.
I can only accompany you.
However, the audience kept bowing, bending their waists, legs and heads to look at Sheng Huayao.
But it's not so easy to tolerate.
At this time, the incense stick in the main hall was only half burned, and there was still half left!
She had just remembered her aunt's words, that she should obey Sheng Wu and learn to be patient, but she was also annoyed and depressed by Lielie's exposure yesterday.
The more this happened, the more resentful and jealous Sheng Wu, who had been suppressing the illegitimate child for so many years, became.
Why, why, Sheng Wu was born the eldest daughter, and had an engagement with the emperor before, and now she is sitting high on the high platform, looking at herself like a beggar!
