After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy

"This, this...she, she..." Murong Lie's eyes froze.

"She, she is from the Minister of Rites' family?" Murong Lie looked surprised.

The look that girl gave Jiang Wanyue was too hot and greedy.

It is obvious that he is interested in that girl Jiang Wanyue.

She actually likes women!

Murong Lie was still dissatisfied when Zuo Yexuan rejected his choice for the Crown Prince's concubine not long ago.

At this moment, his face was filled with grief.

"Yeah." Zuo Yexuan nodded expressionlessly.

"Yes, this is the Crown Princess that His Majesty carefully selected."

"How is it? Is Your Majesty satisfied?" Zuo Yexuan curled her lips, her tone cold and cold.

"I, I don't know..." Murong Lie stammered. He wanted to explain, but Zuo Yexuan turned her head to look to the other side.

"Well, that is the daughter of the other Minister of Works whom you, Your Majesty, selected."

"She is indeed beautiful and has a great figure." Zuo Yexuan continued and nodded her chin in one direction.

Murong Lie looked in the direction he was looking.

I almost had a heart attack from being so angry.

If Wu Qianqian's appearance can be described as clever and cute, she is quite pretty.

At this moment, the situation of the daughter of the Minister of Works is simply hard to describe.

At this moment, the daughter of the Minister of Works was supporting her bloated body, her eyes darting around, and she never stopped eating the candies and desserts in her mouth.

Suddenly, she frowned, covered her lower abdomen, waved her hands in pain, and gave a few instructions to the maid beside her.

The next moment, the maid waved her hand and called three maids, who then dragged the daughter of the Minister of Works out.

"Ahem, misunderstanding, all misunderstanding... Why would I choose such a concubine for the Crown Prince?"

"It's all because of that painter's exaggerated painting skills. I will chop off his head when I get back."

Murong Lie's face was also livid at this moment.

He glanced coldly at where Xu Shilin was.

He remembered that it was Xu Shilin who took out the paintings of young ladies of marriageable age in Beijing and discussed the prince's lifelong affairs with him.

These two concubines were also repeatedly praised by Xu Shilin.

I didn't expect the truth to be like this!

Murong Lie looked at Xu Shilin with complicated eyes.

He likes the innocence, purity, frankness and agility of this person whom he has treated sincerely for more than ten years...

But, when did it start?

The little white flower that he cultivated with all his heart actually changed its taste?

At this moment, Murong Lie was very angry.

He didn't mind the concubines in the harem using any means necessary to win his favor.

After all, it's just because they love themselves too much, what's wrong with them?

However, he could not tolerate their disregard for the royal dignity.

Although, he was not very fond of the prince.

But after all, he is his own child and represents the royal family's reputation.

Murong Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, the country women outside the palace are different from the noble ladies carefully trained by the wealthy aristocrats.

"Ahem, the selection of this concubine still needs to be carefully considered..."

Murong Lie pretended to be calm.

"Isn't there a candidate for the Crown Princess? Look at Princess Mingyue..." Murong Lie said, trying to divert Zuo Yexuan's attention.

"Oh? That Princess Mingyue?" Zuo Yexuan pursed her lips with a mocking look.

Zhao Mingyue, dressed in gorgeous palace dress, had a flushed face and was staring at the direction of Crown Prince Murong Ye without blinking.

"..."Murong Lie was speechless.

"Ahem, at least, she looks stunning. More importantly, she has been in love with Ye'er for a long time and will definitely be able to help Ye'er."

Murong Lie was still trying to make amends for himself.

"Really? A princess with a different surname and no fiefdom, I really can't think of what's so special about her that she caught your majesty's eye."

"Or, in your Majesty's eyes, my concubine Ye'er is only worthy of these kinds of people?"

Zuo Yexuan turned her head, with undisguised coldness and anger in the depths of her eyes.

That time, the Dog Emperor came to discuss Ye'er's lifelong affairs with him.

She guessed that it must be that woman Xu Shilin who had whispered something in the emperor's ear.

Although she refused verbally that day, she was indirectly reminding Murong Lie.

Wu Qianqian, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, loves a girl, while Liu Qingqing, the daughter of the Minister of Works, is not good-looking.

Even though they were kept well hidden in their respective mansions.

But if you investigate carefully, you can find the truth.

Obviously, the Dog Emperor never cared about Ye'er's affairs from beginning to end.

Zuo Yexuan sneered in her heart.

As for why Wu Qianqian and Liu Qingqing were specially brought to this New Year's dinner by their family, it was naturally because she specially invited them.

She just wanted to let the dog emperor see with his own eyes what kind of weirdo the concubine he had chosen for the crown prince was!

"Let's discuss it later. There's no rush. It's better to let Ye'er choose the Crown Princess himself." Murong Lie smiled awkwardly.

Zuo Yexuan remained silent, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the Dog Emperor in her heart.

Next, Murong Lie began a long speech.

The general content is nothing more than summarizing the achievements made in the past year and rewarding and affirming the heroes.

Next is to look forward to the new year and paint a big round pie for all civil and military officials.

Finally, the New Year banquet is about to begin amid everyone’s happy laughter.

During this time, Murong Lie also received a message from the Queen Mother that she was ill and had to miss the annual banquet.

Upon hearing this, Murong Lie became worried and immediately sent the eunuch beside him to investigate.

At this side, at Murong Lie's signal, the singing girls entered the annual banquet one by one.

The ethereal and clear sound of musical instruments rang out, and a group of coolly dressed dancers stood on tiptoe and twisted their slender waists.

Her eyes are beautiful and full of charm.

The dance is enchanting and captivating.

Many ministers couldn't help but salivate and stared with their eyes wide open.

The result was that their wives pinched their waists hard, causing them to hiss and gasp in pain.

Suddenly, among countless dancers competing with each other for beauty.

A masked woman in a black veil floated over.

The long hair flows down the river like a waterfall, outlining a breathtaking arc.

The smoothly cut black long dress fits the woman perfectly, and the layers of black gauze flying in the air like yarn and mist make her look even more mysterious and intoxicating.

Murong Lie only took a glance and then stood up suddenly, losing his composure.

His excited and shocked gaze was almost instantly fixed on the woman in black.

Xu Shilin's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

She looked at the mysterious and charming woman in black and couldn't help but frown.

"Since you are here to look for the Queen Mother, and she is not here, why don't you go to the Cining Palace?"

"Why are you showing off here?!"

Xu Shilin murmured softly, twisting the brocade handkerchief frantically in his hands, venting his dissatisfaction.

[Hmm~ It stinks! ]

[This disgusting smell must be from that bad woman Murong Yue! ]

[She appeared here, could it be that she wanted to take the dragon energy from the emperor? ]

[After all, the dragon energy on the human emperor is the best choice for practicing the evil skill of collecting yang and replenishing yin]

[Tsk tsk, Murong Yue has become a rat in the stinking ditch now, and everyone wants to kill her. The dog emperor wouldn't fall for such a clumsy beauty trap, right? ]

Jiang Tiantian lay in her mother's arms, tilting her head, looking at the scene thoughtfully.
