The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

The Queen's words were full of praise and determination, her smile was brilliant, and her eyes revealed her high evaluation of Miss Ruan's konghou performance. Her words directly indicated that Miss Ruan had undisputedly taken the first place in this talent competition.

After hearing this, Concubine De also smiled. Although her words were brief, she clearly supported the Queen's opinion. Concubine Xian nodded in agreement. Although her attitude was not clear, she also conveyed her support for the Queen's point of view.

However, Concubine Shu did not agree with this result. She felt disdain for the Queen's actions, thinking that all this was arranged by the Queen in advance, and the talent competition was just a show, the real purpose of which was to promote the daughter of the Minister of War.

The queen smiled and said, "Come here, give this phoenix hairpin of mine to Miss Ruan as a reward."

"Yes"

The palace maid bent forward, took the box, stepped back, and handed it to Ruan Feiyin with both hands.

Ruan Feiyin took it, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Queen."

The queen smiled and said, "Get up."

Ruan Feiyin bowed again politely before retreating.

Fan Qingqing, who was below, looked pale. She had never expected that the person chosen by the Queen was Ruan Feiyin. She clenched her teeth, stared at Ruan Feiyin with hatred, and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Jun Wanting said, "Mother, Miss Shangguan hasn't performed yet?"

The queen glanced at Jun Wanting and said in a serious tone: "Ting'er, don't make trouble."

Jun Wanting looked in the direction of Shangguan Ziling and said, "Mother, I am not fooling around. Many daughters of wealthy families have come up to perform their talents, but why is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion not performing her talent?"

The queen looked over.

Shangguan Ziling thought to herself: I just want some quiet time.

Seeing the queen looking at her, she had to stand up, bow and say: "I am not talented or well-educated, and I am not worthy of being on stage, so I will not embarrass myself."

The queen raised her eyebrows and saw that Shangguan Ziling had become a different person, very different from before.

Jun Wanting said: "Why are you so modest? I asked you to come up and show your talent, so just show your talent. Why are you so long-winded?"

The queen scolded, "Ting'er, how can you talk like that?"

The queen laughed again and said, "I also want to see what talents Miss Shangguan has prepared."

"Master, perform a pole dance for them and blind their eyes."

"........."

Seeing this, Shangguan Ziling had no choice but to go on stage. She bowed slightly and said, "Then I will perform a song for you."

Just as she started singing, the emperor, the regent and others arrived. They were attracted by Shangguan Ziling's singing, and the emperor did not even let anyone know of his arrival, but chose to listen to the singing quietly.

Shangguan Ziling's singing was beautiful and pleasant, full of emotion and charm, which made everyone present fall in love with her.

Mo Shaoxie looked at the person on the stage with a look of amazement in his eyes. His Ling'er's singing voice was melodious and beautiful, her figure was charming and graceful, and she was so dazzling standing in the center of the stage.

Mo Shaoxie noticed Jun Yaotian's gaze on the side, his face darkened, and he couldn't help but let out a cold air.

After Shangguan Ziling finished singing, she bowed to the queen who was in a high position. The queen curled her lips and said, "Miss Shangguan has a good singing voice."

At this time, the eunuch reported: "The Emperor has arrived, the Regent has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The Queen and several concubines hurried down to greet them. Everyone stood up, knelt down, and said, "Long live the Emperor. Live the Regent a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

The emperor laughed heartily and said, "All my life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor looked at the Queen and said, "I and the Regent have come to take a look. It so happens that the Regent is not young anymore, so it is time to choose a Regent Princess."

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the young ladies have just finished their talent competition, and the winner is Miss Ruan, the Minister of War."

"Oh, it seems that I am late and missed the excitement. However, it was the daughter of the Prime Minister just now. Her singing was beautiful and pleasant, very nice to hear."

When Ruan Feiyin heard the emperor praising Shangguan Ziling so much, her face turned very ugly.

Shangguan Ziling knelt down and said, "It is you, your Majesty. Thank you for the praise."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shangguan Ziling returned to her seat and sat down, complaining to the fat boy: "If possible, I will never enter the palace again. Although the palace is beautiful, it is too painful to kneel down at every turn."

"Master, not only do you have to kneel down at every turn, but you may even die if you are not careful!"

"That's right. I don't want to stay in this depressing palace for even a second."

"Master, your regent is here too. Could it be that he is here because of you?"

……

The emperor walked to the high seat and sat down, with the queen sitting beside him.

Mo Shaoxie sat at the bottom.

The emperor looked at Mo Shaoxie below him and said earnestly: "Shaoxie, the late emperor and your father were sworn brothers. When the late emperor was alive, he often told me that he treated you as a brother. You are also in your early twenties, and it is time for you to marry a princess. Today happens to be the day when the queen is holding a banquet, and there are many rich girls present. If there is anyone you like, tell me and I will grant you the marriage."

The rich girls below were all excited, looking at Mo Shaoxie like crazy.

You should know that the Regent is notoriously aloof from women and is cruel and bloody, but he is handsome and has a high status. Many rich girls admire him but dare not get close to him. There was once a woman who wanted to get close to the Regent, but was slapped away by the Regent on the spot.

"Oh my, master, the emperor is going to choose a princess for your man. Look, these women are looking at your man like wolves and tigers."

Mo Shaoxie said coldly: "I already have someone I like."

"Ah, Master, your man has expressed that he has someone he likes, so he must be talking about Master!"

Mo Shao's evil words caused an uproar. The ladies and daughters below were discussing in low voices, curiously guessing who this daughter favored by the Regent was, and at the same time wishing they could be that lucky person.

The Queen laughed and said, "I wonder which daughter the Regent has his eye on."

The emperor seemed a little stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, curled his lips, and said, "Yes, Shao Xie, which girl do you like? Tell me, and I will grant you a marriage."

However, Mo Shaoxie's response was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Regent said calmly: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. The late emperor left me an imperial decree granting marriage before he died."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though he was furious inside, the late emperor really loved him and even left him the imperial edict granting him marriage.

The emperor's face showed no expression. He said calmly, "It seems that my suggestion is unnecessary. I wonder which family's daughter is Shao Xie's favorite?"

This question made everyone hold their breath, waiting for Mo Shaoxie's answer, and hoping that the person the Regent liked was themselves.
