Amidst the gazes of the ladies, the Empress finally put down her teacup and spoke, “Since she is favored by the noble concubine, let’s leave it at that. Choose a few more, so the Prince of Yu can have a good selection.”
The Empress was approving the noble concubine’s decision!
The beauties couldn’t believe it, even starting to doubt their lives.
When did selecting people in the palace only depend on appearance?
What happened to marrying a virtuous wife and taking a beautiful concubine?
Moreover, she is disabled. How can she give birth to any child in the future!
This really angered people.
Jiang Yuan was even more enraged.
Because she wasn’t valued by the Empress, she was screened out.
The noble concubine, Your Highness, chose only Jiang Ning, and the Empress, Your Highness, picked five more, making a total of six people.
The remaining ten were each rewarded with jewelry and sent back to their homes.
Jiang Yuan, holding a pair of bracelets with a grief-stricken face, passed by Jiang Ning and said, “How could you stay here!”
“Because I’m good-looking,” Jiang Ning lazily replied.
“What’s the use of being good-looking!”
“It just means being good-looking.”
“Even if you’re lucky, when the Prince of Yu arrives, you won’t be noticed! You’ll still go home like me.”
“You’re right, but at least I can still admire the charm of Prince Yu up close.”
“You… You’re shameless! Jiang family having someone like you, simply brings bad luck to the family, bad luck!”
“You’ve already been eliminated but you’re still talking nonsense. Aren’t you leaving? Go home and reunite with your aunt.”
“I won’t leave, I’ll just wait outside for you to be eliminated!”
As the two were whispering and arguing, they suddenly heard the eunuch’s voice from outside, “Prince of Yu, Your Highness has arrived
The ladies’ spirits were lifted.
The main character had finally arrived.
Although they had gotten up before dawn, not eaten enough breakfast, and stood for half a day, the arrival of Prince Yu felt like a shot in the arm, rejuvenating the remaining beauties.
Only Jiang Ning, like a swamp of soft mud, lazily leaned on the wheelchair, her cheeks drooping, eyelids half-closed, about to fall asleep at any moment.
She wasn’t tired, but she was hungry and sleepy.
Always sitting, her stomach wasn’t very comfortable either.
Thinking about walking around, but not having her cane, she couldn’t lie down either.
From morning until now, she was already a little impatient.
A series of footsteps came from behind, and the beauties tried to suppress their shyness. When the footsteps reached the front, they cautiously raised their eyes to sneak a peek.
Ah, Prince Yu was indeed a divine beauty wearing a robe with arrow sleeves and a narrow waist, a silver brocade belt tightened around his firm waist, a face like jade, and a tall and elegant bearing.
Jiang Ning heard the gasps of the beauties next to her, raised her eyelids, and took a glance, finding that she recognized this figure.
On the small boat, yesterday in the palace, and now – it was already the third time she had seen him.
So this was Prince Yu, Your Highness.
No wonder he would take Xiaoqian out with him.
It wasn’t a father-son relationship, but an uncle-nephew one.
Jiang Ning thought and lowered her eyelids, suppressing a yawn with her sleeve.
She was too sleepy to think about anything.
She just wanted to lie back on the comfortable and soft bed in the Black Bamboo Garden, be tenderly attended and massaged by the pretty maids, and be surrounded by fragrant incense and snacks and tea available at any time.
Indeed, it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Prince Yu paid his respects to the Empress and the noble concubine, with a golden voice: “Your son has seen the Queen Mother and the concubine mother.”
The Empress smiled and said, “You came just at the right time, go and sit with your concubine mother, and see if you like any of them.”
The noble concubine sat at an angle and ignored her son.
Prince Yu directly sat next to her and looked at the six remaining beauties.
The beauties, whose faces turned red when they were looked at by Prince Yu, avoided his gaze.
Prince Yu’s eyes fell on Jiang Ning and found that she was actually dozing off..
