"I have heard that the eldest daughter of the Fu family is well-educated and talented. She can compose a poem in seven steps. She is the most talented woman in my dragon riding team."
Su Changzhao came up and praised.
Fu Ningshuang did not show too much flattery, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, the praise is too much, it is just an empty reputation."
Seeing her so dignified and generous, Su Changzhao nodded repeatedly.
[She is indeed one of the mistresses of the harem. 】
You have to know that with Su Changzhao's current status, any young lady who receives her praise will inevitably flatter her.
But Fu Ningshuang does not have these qualities.
After Su Changzhao saw that she had replied to him, he secretly glanced at Yu Jiuchen, who was sitting on the throne, handsome and elegant. His pretty face flushed and his eyes were full of expectation.
Seeing this, Su Changzhao understood.
[In the original novel, Fu Ningshuang has admired the Dog Emperor since she was a child. It seems to be true. ]
[If she is chosen, it can be regarded as a win-win for both parties. ]
[Well, today, we must keep this person here! ]
After hearing the inner voice, Yu Jiuchen felt that something was fishy.
What did she mean by 'original'?
As for the previous concubines, Yu Jiuchen didn't have a good face, but at least he glanced at them.
But when Fu Ningshuang looked at him from below, he just looked away.
This made Fu Ningshuang's heart sink, and she began to wonder if Yu Jiuchen hated her.
Completely unaware of the little tricks between Yu Jiuchen and Fu Ningshuang, Su Changzhao continued, "Today is the imperial concubine selection ceremony. I wonder if Miss Fu can improvise a poem to liven up the atmosphere?"
She began to give Fu Ningshuang opportunities to perform.
Fu Ningshuang noticed her good intentions. Although she was confused as to why the Nine Thousand Years Old Man, who was rumored to have killed countless people, was so fond of her, she still seized the opportunity to bow to him.
"Yes, then I will present my ugliness to you."
The other concubines all looked at Fu Ningshuang with jealousy, thinking that if she was allowed to steal the show, then they would be doomed.
Not only them, Yu Jiuchen also felt that if Fu Ningshuang could really compose a poem that would astound the entire audience in public, it would be unreasonable for her not to be selected.
He had no choice but to keep the person by his side, but this person was Su Changzhao's favorite, so wouldn't keeping him by his side be tantamount to leaving a hidden danger?
Just as Yu Jiuchen was thinking deeply.
【Fu Ningshuang 666! 】
[Fu Ningshuang, you are the best! Come on, come on! ]
Su Changzhao's continuous voice of cheering was like a devilish sound piercing through his brain, rushing into Yu Jiuchen's mind!
"..." Yu Jiuchen managed to hold it in by clenching his fists, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: If you hope that this girl will be chosen, then I won't let you be satisfied!
The index finger on the armrest tapped, and a man not far away saw it, put his hands behind his back silently, and made a gesture to several people who had been lying in ambush nearby.
The men immediately took out a fluttering cloth bag and threw a cat that had been fed medicine inside to Fu Ningshuang.
Fu Ningshuang couldn't help feeling happy when she saw the young king above her and the stunningly handsome Nine Thousand Year Old Su Changzhao staring at her. At this moment, she had already come up with a good poem in her mind.
As long as you recite it in public, it will definitely make a splash.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to speak, she heard a "meow".
Suddenly, a wild cat flew over from nowhere, and it hit me head-on!
"Ah!" Fu Ningshuang screamed.
"There's an assassin! Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!" No one knew who shouted this.
Su Changzhao was just about to rescue Fu Ningshuang, but the emperor was assassinated a while ago and the assassin has not been caught yet. The Imperial Guards can no longer afford the crime of dereliction of duty.
When they heard there was an assassin, they all swarmed over.
But Su Changzhao's martial arts were unparalleled, and she knew how to escape even when there were many people around. Unexpectedly, before she could take a step forward, her wrist was tightened, and she was pulled to his side by Yu Jiuchen.
The inherent ambergris of Yu Jiuchen immediately came into my nose.
Su Changzhao looked up and saw Yu Jiuchen, who was a head taller than her, with red eyes saying, "Changzhao, don't leave my side!" He looked extremely scared of death.
“…”
In this way, Su Changzhao watched helplessly as one of Yu Jiuchen's concubines, Fu Ningshuang, had her face scratched by a mad wild cat.
how so?!
·
Since his face was disfigured, he could no longer run for election.
After Fu Ningshuang was taken away for treatment, someone who knew the situation came forward to report that there was no assassin at all, and it was just a wild cat that stole food from the imperial kitchen that caused the chaos. Everyone then realized that it was a false alarm.
It was said that the cat had eaten a drunken fish before, so it suddenly went crazy.
This reason might be enough to fool a three-year-old child, but Su Changzhao would never believe it.
However, she really couldn't understand why anyone would attack Fu Ningshuang, who had not yet received the emperor's favor.
It shouldn't happen. It's weird.
Afterwards.
The princess selection ceremony will continue as usual and will not end because of Fu Ningshuang.
Just when Su Changzhao was lamenting that Fu Ningshuang, a good harem heroine, had become cannon fodder, a familiar sweet voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Your Highness, I, Du Laner, greet your Majesty and meet King Rao An."
When Su Changzhao saw that it was her, he immediately lost interest and was still immersed in his regret for Fu Ningshuang.
Yu Jiuchen noticed that Su Changzhao sighed secretly, and he knew in his heart that Du Lan'er was not hers.
Du Lan'er had a criminal record. Just when everyone thought she had no chance of being selected, Yu Jiuchen actually praised her: "Du Lan'er... well, your face is like a orchid, sweet and lovely, so you should be named... Noble Lady Lan."
【What? !】Su Changzhao was shocked.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you threw this man out of your bedroom some time ago?"
[Fu Ningshuang is so good, but you don't want her and choose her? When did you go blind, you dog emperor? ]
Yu Jiuchen's temples throbbed when he was called a blind dog, but he smiled and said, "I couldn't see clearly that day because it was dark. Now that I see Lan'er's true face, I know that she is deeply loved by me."
Hearing this, Du Laner was so proud that she knelt down to thank Long Enhao**.
"Lan'er, I accept your order and thank you. Long live your majesty."
Su Changzhao: “…”
What follows is pretty much the same as the original.
In addition to Du Lan'er, Yu Jiuchen also selected a number of beautiful women of humble origins, using his reputation as a "tyrant" to seduce Su Changzhao.
The corners of Su Changzhao's mouth twitched, and he just wanted to say: [What the hell! I didn't get the ones I should have chosen, and I got a lot of the ones I shouldn't have chosen! ]
Yu Jiuchen was in a good mood for no reason after hearing Su Changzhao's thoughts.
·
"Why won't you let me in? I'm the noble lady Lan, appointed by His Majesty himself! Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
It was another day that Du Laner was kept out and unable to see the emperor.
It just so happened that he was seen by Su Changzhao who came to see the emperor today.
Hearing the noise from far away, Su Changzhao stopped where he was.
She didn't even need to ask, Li Xing beside her immediately stepped forward to explain: "According to the spies in the palace, Concubine Lan comes to the Imperial Study to see His Majesty almost every day, but His Majesty never wants to see her."
Su Changzhao was not surprised at all, but was a little curious: "Didn't he choose this person himself? Why is he still not satisfied?"
Li Xing bowed slightly but said nothing.
At this moment, the commotion in front of the imperial study became even more intense. Su Changzhao's eyes sparkled, and he quickly tapped Li Xing's chest with his fan: "Let's go and watch the show."
