Chapter 419 Vivi's Face Appraisal
the next day.
Above the imperial court, all civil and military officials were a little more timid than usual.
It was not because of anything else, but because the Third Highness, who had never appeared in the morning court, had come here.
He didn't stand up, but lazily leaned on the carved wooden chair beside him, and looked at them with raised eyebrows: "You all want this hall to accept the side concubine?"
Kneeling down and worshiping, the veterans all have their own plans. The current King Murong has fallen, which means that the fifth prince has lost his influence.
If they could take advantage of the opportunity of the third prince to select the side concubine and send their daughters to the palace, then they could regain their footing and show the third prince that they were on his side.
However, these ministers never thought that Baili Jiajue was not willing to accept this side concubine at all.
"Master Zhang." Baili Jiajue called his name slowly: "When this hall was eradicating Murong Yu's party some time ago, there was a person who seemed to know Master Zhang. Should Master Zhang explain how the two of you became friends? Then come to the selection of the side concubine!"
Master Zhang gave a sudden shock, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and shouted with a pale face: "Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Majesty please forgive me."
Baili Jiajue didn't even look at him.
Not to mention the emperor who ignored the government all day long.
Above the Zijin Luan Hall, no one dared to speak anymore.
But even if Baili Jiajue doesn't want to, his age has come, as long as he is the prince, once he reaches the age, he must choose a woman who can do it to accompany him.
The previous generations of emperors did not have a situation like Baili Jiajue, because when they chose their concubines, they would always choose the woman with the most outstanding temperament.
But Baili Jiajue chose a faceless girl who couldn't even ignite a crystal ball.
This simply cannot be explained.
What's more, there are outstanding women like Yun Biluo and Helian Jiaoer in the capital, which will cause a lot of dissatisfaction among the people.
"Although this Helian Weiwei is no longer as good-for-nothing as before, her face is really ugly. How could the Third Highness suffer from her?"
"It's probably because she is worried that she is of Helian's blood. Don't forget how much great contributions Mr. Helian made back then."
"Come on, she has already been kicked out by the Huguo Mansion, and it's hard to say whether she can recognize her ancestors again."
"I heard that the second young lady of Helian's family went to live in the temple for two days a while ago. Because of guilt, she read some Buddhist scriptures. How should I put it, I think she is also to blame. It is Mrs. Su who did the wrong thing. It's not her..."
Sacrifice herself to restore her daughter's reputation, this is a ruthless move by Su Yanmo.
In the past few days after returning to the capital, whenever she went out, she would be pointed at and talked about.
She hated Helian Weiwei from the bottom of her heart, to the point where her teeth itch.
If it wasn't for that little bastard.
She doesn't need to be insulted like this at all!
Moreover, Su Yanmo clearly knew that before the selection of side concubines, reputation was very important to the selected ladies.
That's why she did it!
For so many days, the Su family has begun to restrain her because of her excessive spending some time ago, and Murong Guangyao has not been seen all day long. She knows that he thinks that she swims through the street and makes his face dull, so she even gets close to her. Not close to her anymore.
Only she knows how hard Su Yanmo's life has been recently.
However, the good news is that before the face appraisal, Jiaoer's reputation finally recovered.
"Jiao'er." Su Yanmo stood beside the sedan chair, beckoned to Helian Jiao'er, picked up the white handkerchief in her hand, and wanted to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
But Helian Jiaoer turned her head away, glanced hurriedly at the young ladies who were walking with her just now, and then pulled Su Yanmo aside: "Mother, why are you here?"
"I was worried about you because you didn't go back so late." Su Yanmo froze for a moment before replying, "What's wrong?"
Helian Jiaoer raised her eyes, and stirred the white handkerchief with her fingers: "They just played around with me like before, and you appeared, mother, you should go home first, I am very embarrassed by you standing here. "
Su Yanmo looked at the figures standing behind her, they were all rich and powerful people in the circle, she rolled her eyes and smiled: "Mother understands, mother will go back now, you have fun, have fun."
After seeing that Su Yanmo had left, everyone leaned over.
"Jiao'er, that's your mother, she looks very kind, why did you..."
When Helian Jiaoer heard this, her eyes immediately turned red: "No matter what she did wrong, it was my mother. In fact, she didn't have any bad intentions at all at that time."
"Forget it, forget it, it's all over." The ladies from various families gathered around one after another, comforting Helian Jiaoer: "A face like yours will inevitably arouse jealousy. Some older sisters may not look down on younger sisters. That's why so many things happen."
The more Helian Jiaoer listened, the more pitiful she pretended to be: "I don't blame my sister, if it was me, I would be very angry if that happened, but this time my sister doesn't seem to forgive me and my mother no matter what. No matter how many good things we said, it didn't help. I always wanted to apologize to her sincerely."
"Jiao'er, not everyone is as kind as you. Think about it carefully. Now that the concubine selection is imminent, she looks like that. She simply can't see others being prettier than her. That's why she refuses to forgive you. The reason is that It can affect your reputation and make it impossible for you to participate in the selection." The man curled his lips with disdain on his face.
Someone echoed: "Yes, I also think that the third concubine is simply jealous. If she can't grow up, she will harm other people. Even a beautiful person like Sister Yun, she will not let go. She is simply a snake and a scorpion."
"Don't talk about her, it's getting late, let's go to the facial appraisal, if it's too late, it's too late."
Helian Jiaoer nodded her head, her demeanor was still graceful.
The first step in the selection of a side concubine is the identification of appearance.
This kind of identification is completely confidential, each of them has their names covered up, leaving only their numbers and their own names, in order to ensure that the results of the identification are absolutely fair.
Helian Jiaoer looked at the score written on the rice paper after appraising her face again, and smiled with her thin lips, and there was a deep sense of complacency hidden in her eyes.
Helian Weiwei, no matter how powerful you are, so what.
It's not just that he can only watch the Third Highness establish a side concubine.
Ah.
Who let him grow a dark and ugly face, let alone the end of the selection, he couldn't even pass the first test of appearance!
Helian Jiaoer laughed, and was about to straighten her hair and go out, when the door of another room was slowly pushed open, and a pair of slender and fair legs appeared in front of Helian Jiaoer. in front of...
