I rely on gossip to save the country

After the morning court ended, Xie Chuyue did not run out of the palace again. Today was the day her father was going to choose a concubine, and she wanted to join in the fun.

Originally, the selection of concubines was handled by the empress, but the empress of Nanyue Kingdom had passed away, and the next in line was Concubine Rong, so she had to be replaced by Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong is Murong Yuehua, the legitimate daughter of Duke Zheng Murong Fu. She entered the palace in the same year as the Queen and has been friends with the Queen since childhood. Although they are in the harem, their feelings have never changed.

In the harem, the two of them complemented each other and took good care of the concubines. Because the Queen was on good terms with Concubine Rong, Crown Prince Xie Yunqi and Xie Chuyue also liked Concubine Rong very much, and often went to Concubine Rong's palace to play with the Second Prince Xie Yunqing.

Since the death of the Queen, Concubine Rong has used tough means to monopolize the harem and protect the siblings Xie Yunqi and Xie Chuyue from being framed by the concubines.

Now, Concubine Rong is the two’s biggest supporter in the harem.

After Xie Chuyue returned to Changle Palace, she changed her clothes and went to Concubine Rong's Xueyang Palace.

Since Xie Chuyue traveled through time, she has never been to the harem. Today, she happened to have the opportunity to go and see Concubine Rong.

Xie Chuyue walked in with a cheerful pace. When the little palace maid saw her, she was surprised for a moment, then immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Princess Chunyang."

Xie Chuyue waved her hand and ran directly to the main hall, "Mother Rong, Mother Rong, Yue'er is here to see you."

Xie Chuyue shouted as she arrived at the main hall. As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she was dazzled by the beautiful girls sitting in the two rows on her left and right.

Xie Chuyue: [Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Father is so lucky to have so many beautiful women, all of them are very pretty and beautiful. No wonder all five of my brothers are so beautiful. How can a child born from two beauties not be beautiful?]

Concubine Rong's hands that were holding the armchair trembled. This little girl was not like this when Wanyan was around. When did she become spoiled?

Is it because of my negligence?

The concubines could hardly hide their expressions, but fortunately they had been in the harem for so many years that they had already learned to wear masks, so their expressions did not look fake.

They were shocked that they could actually hear the little princess's inner voice. The little princess clearly didn't say anything just now, but her inner voice came through.

Concubine Rong walked down from the upper seat, took Xie Chuyue's hand, and said with a hint of rebuke, "Has Xiao Yue'er changed her mind? It's been almost a year since she came to see Mother Rong. Did Mother Rong do something wrong?"

When Xie Chuyue heard about the change of heart, the corners of her mouth twitched, but after hearing what followed, she realized that she had seldom come to Concubine Rong since her mother's death.

Xie Chuyue felt guilty: [What can I say? Can you say that I was too playful? That's why I didn't come. How unfilial that is. No, I have to find an excuse.]

Concubine Rong: …………

You don't have to think of excuses. . . .

Other concubines: …………

Little princess, does she know that everyone can hear her inner voice? If she knew, she would definitely find a rope to hang herself.

Xie Chuyue racked her brains, but couldn't come up with a good excuse. In the end, she bit the bullet and said, "Why do you say that, Mother Rong? Since Yue'er entered the court, she has been very busy. After the court is over, she accompanies the emperor. During the court, He Chaocheng discusses state affairs. The rest of the time, she is monitoring the officials. I hope Mother Rong can understand."

The corner of Concubine Rong's mouth twitched, and she didn't care about embarrassing Xie Chuyue, "Yuer has worked so hard, Mother Rong will not blame Yueer."

After saying that, he pulled her to sit on the main seat. The ranks of these concubines were not as high as Xie Chuyue's, but they were the emperor's women, so they did not need to salute Xie Chuyue. Xie Chuyue had a high status and did not salute them either.

Xie Chuyue sat at the top, listening to them discussing the upcoming selection process. As she listened, she suddenly thought of one thing, which was the last time a father entered the palace on behalf of his daughter. She wondered if that father had gone through the preliminary review?

At this time, the maid who was in charge of the selection came forward to report, "Among the hundreds of palace maids of the Imperial Concubine, I have cut off those with thin hair, small eyes, low nose bridge, heavy nose, facial features that are too thin and too large and very unbalanced, waists that are too thick, wrists that are too short, feet that are big and have spots and moles, dark skin, unstable walking posture, and slow reactions."

Xie Chuyue: [After cutting off so many at once, I don’t know how many concubines are left. ]

Concubine Rong covered her lips with a handkerchief and held back her smile. This little girl doesn't understand. Not everyone can enter the palace!

After everyone had discussed it, Concubine Rong took everyone to the selection room to select girls.

Concubine Rong didn't want to take Xie Chuyue with her. After all, she was looking for a woman for her father, and it was not good to take her daughter with her. But Xie Chuyue, this troublesome thing, was so shameless that she insisted on going with Concubine Rong. No matter how much she was persuaded or scolded, it was all useless, so she had to agree to let her go.

Xie Chuyue looked at those beautiful girls and felt amazed at first, but later she felt dizzy. What were she looking at? They all had two eyes and a mouth, no difference at all.

But just when she was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep, she actually saw that male concubine???

Xie Chuyue: [Oh my god, how did this guy get in? There were so many screenings, how did he get in after so many screenings? ]

Hearing this, Concubine Rong and the other concubines looked at Xie Chuyue in confusion. Who was their little princess talking about? How did she get in?

Just when Xie Chuyue was curious and wanted to go and take a look, she saw the emperor coming.

Emperor Mingde thought that Xie Chuyue went out to play after leaving the court, so he ignored her. Who knew that when he came to choose a concubine, he would see his own annoying thing here.

"Father!" When Xie Chuyue saw Emperor Mingde coming in from the palace gate, she felt guilty and called out weakly, "Father, you're here!"

Emperor Mingde didn't even think twice, and roared with anger, "Fu Yuande, send the little princess back to the imperial study. Do not let her out without my permission. Let her review the memorials for me."

Xie Chuyue: [Nani, Father, you want to kill me, how can you do this? ]

Fu Yuande also tried hard to hold back his laughter. What kind of daughter would find a woman for her own father? He came with the guards, held Xie Chuyue, and wanted to take her out.

Xie Chuyue leaned on them and shouted to the emperor behind her, "Father, I am your own daughter. How can you bear to let me go to the imperial study alone to review memorials? What? Father, I am afraid. What if there is a ghost?"

Emperor Mingde was speechless for a while. How could this ghost come out in broad daylight? This little girl actually came to choose a concubine for him. Did she want to make her father so angry that he vomited blood?

There has never been a daughter in history who chose a concubine for her father. If this were made public, people would laugh their heads off.

Just like that, a guy who came to watch the fun was taken away by Fu Yuande. Xie Chuyue didn't curse him out loud, but she cursed him in her heart, "You dog father only knows how to enslave me. Why don't you do anything with your five sons? Just let them lay eggs? Why do you have to use me?"
