Chapter 763 Concubine Selection (9)

Bai Muxiao naturally also felt the badness in Concubine Zhang's words, and looked at Nangong Yue with interest, thinking: I don't know how her cousin Yue will respond.

Nangong Yue stood up calmly, stepped forward in front of everyone's different eyes, gave a blessing, and said calmly, "Thank you, Concubine Zhang for the praise, Fluulight is really ashamed." She smiled and looked on her face. Pinghe, "Yaoguang's learning of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is to cultivate sentiment, not to flatter others!" She looked around and said loudly, "I believe the same is true for the girls here. Today, everyone is here to show their talents, Just because I love the loftiness of the lotus and the character of the lotus. It's not for the sake of being strong and winning, it has to be divided!"

Nangong Yue's remarks immediately praised the girls as a gentleman's lotus "out of the mud but not stained". Who doesn't like to hear such nice words, the girls naturally nodded their heads in agreement. Yes, their performances are not for flattery and pets.

This girl has a smart mouth! Concubine Zhang concluded for a while, she couldn't offend all the girls present and insisted that they were flattering!

Seeing Concubine Zhang deflated, the Empress sneered in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "Yue girl, you are right. Today we will be friends with 'Lian'!" The Empress glanced at Concubine Zhang lightly, and said again, "Go ahead. Which girl is coming down?"

Miss Huang hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to play a flute...

At the same time, Xiao Yi quietly gave Fu Yunyan a wink at Fu Yunyan beside Nangong Yue. Fu Yunyan smiled playfully, and immediately walked away knowingly and gave up his seat.

Xiao Yi sat next to Nangong Yue so brazenly, it was impossible for him to go unnoticed by such a big move, but after all, they were the fiancée married by the emperor, as long as they didn't go too far, no one would interfere. It's just that more familiar friends like Jiang Yixi and Yuan Yuyi cast narrow eyes on him.

Nangong Yue could not care about the gazes of others, but she felt a little embarrassed about the gazes of her friends, and her earlobes were a little red. She gave Xiao Yi a cramped look, meaning, is there something wrong?

Seeing that he was about to be dismissed, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, and he really remembered something to say, and suddenly became confident.

"Stinky girl, have you heard about the Xirong envoy being ambushed by bandits?" He whispered in Nangong Yue's ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Hearing this news, Nangong Yue couldn't help but look shocked, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with pride, but he continued: "A few days ago, the envoys of Xirong were ambushed by bandits in Yuzhou, and the whereabouts of the envoys and Princess Mingyue were unknown... Until last night, Princess Mingyue was quietly sent away. Back to the Marquis of Pingyang mansion..."

"What about the envoys?" Nangong Yue's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't help but remember that she heard "Xi Rong" and "Ming Yue" faintly in the Queen's Fengluan Palace that day. Could it be that this is the case?

"The rest of the embassy has been released, but Chamuhan is still missing." Xiao Yi's voice became even softer, and the warm breath almost blew on Nangong Yue's ears. " The envoy was ambushed in the territory of Dayu, the general Qibi was furious and accused Dayu of playing tricks on all this. He asked Dayu to give an explanation and compensation, and also demanded that Chamuhan be released immediately, otherwise Just tear up the peace book." After a pause, Xiao Yi continued, "But the emperor felt that Xirong Langzi's ambitions were all arranged by them, in order to obtain greater benefits."

Xiao Yi still had a lazy smile on his face, and said, "This matter is still being suppressed by the emperor, and not many people know about it for the time being..."

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and her heart was also turbulent. She couldn't calm down for a long time. She couldn't help but ask, "Who do you think did it?" Dayu or Xirong?

Xiao Yi said with certainty, "It won't be Dayu." Based on Xiao Yi's understanding of the emperor, he would only want to end these troublesome things quickly, and would not do anything unnecessary.

"So it's Xi Rong?"

"Maybe." Xiao Yi smiled, and the smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes, "But I guess someone is behind the oriole..."

Oriole behind?

Nangong Yue couldn't help thinking of the forced palace, her eyes brightened, and a name came to her mind.

Of course, the queen noticed that Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were talking to each other and whispering. This is a marriage she arranged. She naturally hopes that these two children will be harmonious and beautiful. Since they have something to say to each other, they must be able to achieve a good relationship!

At this time, after the song was over, the last yellow girl finally finished her performance.

The queen was actually absent-minded at all, but she nodded with satisfaction on the surface, and casually praised: "It's a good blow, it's a lot of work." The palace maid immediately rewarded Miss Huang with a pair of pink water lotus beads.

After Miss Huang withdrew, the queen said to Concubine Zhang and Concubine Liu, "Sister Zhang Concubine, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Li, which girl do you think is the leader today?"

Concubine Li said it was Jiang Yixi, Concubine Liu said it was Li Siqian, and Concubine Zhang ordered Nangong Tsang. Seeing all the women are envious.

The queen smiled again: "After sitting for so long, you young sons and girls must be bored. Since it is rare to come to the palace for this flower viewing party, it is better to enjoy the flowers at will and relax."

The empress said this to give these young masters and girls a chance to get in touch more closely. If they have a good conversation, they can naturally ask the elders to go to the empress to ask for marriage. After all, this flower viewing party is not just for a few princes. Concubine, but also for those clan children.

"Thank you, Empress!"

After the young boys and girls thanked the queen, most of them walked out of the lotus pavilion in twos and threes. Of course, a few girls deliberately stayed in the pavilion to talk to the queen and the others.

Xiao Yi was about to cheekily pull Nangong Yue to enjoy the flowers, but Fu Yunyan came over with a smile, made a face, and took her away first...
