"They're too ugly. I don't want them." His tone was flat. He retracted his gaze and leaned back lazily.
Not to mention that the smiles of the eight beauties froze on their faces, the expressions of the other people present also cracked a little. Everyone knew that these women were only palace maids in name. Whether they could really only be palace maids or not, they could only be palace maids in the end. In essence, they were just bed warmers. Even if it was not the Emperor, it was still a noble prince. Naturally, they were all carefully selected. Otherwise, if they failed to win the Emperor's favor, they would be accused of being disrespectful. In terms of color, they might be more outstanding than a regular talent show. After all, this was Qi Yuan casting a net from top to bottom. The scope was much wider than a talent show. How could they be ugly?
"I think they are all very beautiful. How are they ugly?"
"Since Father thinks they are beautiful, then take them all." Li Hongyuan said lightly.
"Bastard, the people your mother chose for you are simply, simply …"
"Because Mother prepared them for me, Father, you have some scruples. Originally, you still wanted to take them all."
This time, Le Chengdi directly picked up a cup and smashed it.
The person who was smashed didn't blush, but the others were scared half to death, especially those who saw this scene for the first time. As the saying went, when the emperor was angry, although the current situation was not to the point of millions of corpses, it was still absolutely frightening. They all panicked and shrank like quails. How could they be in the mood to show their beauty?
Li Hongyuan frowned and flicked a few drops of water that splashed on his body. "Father, your temper is getting more and more irritable. If you have excessive internal heat because of the hot weather, you should ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine to reduce internal heat. If you throw things randomly and I don't avoid them, won't I be disfigured? I have a foundation in martial arts and my hands and feet are quite agile. I can basically avoid them. What if you accidentally hit someone else, such as Mother? What should I do? "
Le Chengdi was easily angered by Li Hongyuan. Now, he didn't want to scold him anymore. He just wanted to beat him. However, this evil creature wouldn't stand there obediently like the others. If you really ordered him to kneel down, he would do it. At that time, he wouldn't be able to do it. However, if he didn't vent his anger, he would panic and want to take something and hit him.
"Your Majesty," Noble Consort Su hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Calm down. You know Yuan 'er's temper, but it's just as Yuan' er said, if you don't dodge and get hurt, you'll be the one to feel the heartache."
In the end, Le Chengdi didn't throw it again.
Noble Consort Su looked at Li Hongyuan again and felt helpless. Her son didn't pay much attention to other people, so why did he like to quarrel with his Imperial Father? "You, can't you stop making your Imperial Father angry?"
Li Hongyuan glanced at Le Chengdi and curled the corners of his mouth. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed particularly sarcastic.
To ordinary people, this was a provocation, not to mention that the other party was the emperor. However, after the provocative gaze, it was followed by Noble Consort Su's pleading gaze. In the end, Le Chengdi endured it and looked away. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Yuan 'er, if you continue to be like this, go outside and kneel." Noble Consort Su said rather sternly, but there was helplessness in her eyes. She signaled Li Hongyuan to control his temper and stop before going too far. Don't really annoy your Imperial Father.
Li Hongyuan lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes. He seemed to have obeyed Noble Consort Su's words and looked bored.
Noble Consort Su chuckled and returned to the eight beautiful women, "Imperial Mother also thinks that they're pretty. Yuan 'er, tell me, which part of them are ugly? If you can really say one, two, three, Imperial Mother won't force you. If you can't, then it won't be as simple as just picking two people. "Noble Consort Su's expression indicated that she wanted him to take all of them back.
"Their skin is rough and dark, their legs are short, and their waists are hard. Their faces are covered with such a thick layer of powder that even the spots can be seen. After washing their faces, won't they just look like a ghost? I don't know what kind of inferior incense they use on their bodies, but it's so thick that it stinks. This son really doesn't know which part is good and which part is beautiful? "Li Hongyuan said without the slightest trace of politeness.
The eight women, who had always been quite confident and satisfied with their external conditions, bit their lips at this moment, and tears welled up in their eyes. How could they feel wronged to be belittled like this?
Noble Consort Su was speechless. If you're so picky, then there probably aren't any beauties in the world. "Which part is rough? Which part is dark? They're clearly all soft and tender. They're standing perfectly fine, so how can you tell that their waists are hard? Their legs are short? " Noble Consort Su glanced at them. "Not all of them are short. Most people have spots on their faces, so it's normal to use powder to cover them up. How many women don't use powder? If you don't like this incense, then you can just change it to something you like. You're purely nitpicking, so it doesn't count. "
"This son's requirements aren't high. Their skin should be like cream, whiter than snow, and even without makeup, they should still be outstanding and flawless. Their waists should be flexible but not fragile, and their legs should be slender and straight. They shouldn't use any incense on their bodies, and their sweat should also have a pleasant fragrance. Imperial Mother, this son isn't being picky, but this son really can't do it with women like this. " To put it bluntly, he was talking about Jingwan. If Jingwan wasn't like this now and had gone through a lot of hardships, he would probably say something else. Even if her skin was dark and rough, he could still say that she was wild and beautiful.
How could this be called not high requirements? "Could it be that all the women who served you in the past were of this standard?" If that was the case, why didn't others notice it and let him take all of them? Don't think that her son was the only one who 'forcefully snatched women'. It was just that the others weren't as serious and were overshadowed by his' light '.
"When I'm interested, I can naturally lower my standards." When he wasn't interested, he didn't want them if they didn't meet his standards.
"Alright, alright. Don't talk about this with Imperial Mother. If you don't want them, then forget it. Can Imperial Mother force you to do something like this?" Noble Consort Su waved her hand impatiently.
"It's this son's fault. I've troubled Imperial Mother." Li Hongyuan said rather apologetically.
Noble Consort Su was startled. "You child, this isn't what Imperial Mother meant. Imperial Mother hasn't done anything yet, but you're already thinking too much. You're a grown man, but you're acting like a little girl now." She was helpless and amused.
Li Hongyuan smiled. "This son knows that Imperial Mother treats this son well and has always remembered it. It's just that this son has no way to repay you and even makes Imperial Mother sad from time to time."
"What are you saying? The more you say, the more inappropriate you become." Noble Consort Su smiled, but turned her head and used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. "If you really feel this way, then will you listen to Imperial Mother for everything in the future?"
Li Hongyuan had never been a person who played with warmth. Just because he didn't play with it, the damage he caused when he did it once in a while was absolutely unprecedented. In the blink of an eye, he made Noble Consort Su cry, made Le Chengdi soften into a mess, and made Princess Min Xiang's fear of him decrease sharply. The eight women who had been humiliated by him couldn't help but steal glances at him. As for Li Hongming, he was a person who didn't see eye to eye. This kind of warmth would probably only intensify his disgust.
However, these people, what did they have to do with him?
Li Hongyuan shook his head. "This son is used to messing around. I'm afraid I can't listen to anyone. So, Imperial Mother, this son is very sorry. If there's a next life …"
"Silly child, you don't need to say anything. Imperial Mother knows." Noble Consort Su warmly said.
Li Hongyuan smiled faintly. — — If there's a next life, it probably won't have anything to do with you. Maybe I'll cripple your son early on. Even if you're in a high position, I'll pull you down and trample you into the mud. I just don't know if the you at that time will still be a "loving mother" like you are now.
The eight women who had been degraded by Li Hongyuan naturally couldn't stay in Le Chengdi's harem. Li Hongming also wouldn't want them. Those who cared about face probably wouldn't reach out their hands again. Let's ask, other people looked down on you, yet you pulled them back. Do you want to be ridiculed, or do you want people to say that you have no taste? Of course, there were those who didn't take it seriously and didn't hesitate to express that their standards weren't as high as Jin Qinwang's.
After the eight women were taken away, they couldn't hold it in anymore and cried their hearts out. Where was the arrogance and complacency that they had when they were first selected by Noble Consort Su? Because they climbed high, they fell miserably. Although they were only one step higher than the others, it was enough to make the other women double the mockery. Who told you to be high and mighty, flaunting your prowess, who told you to humiliate me. That was double the hatred. If you don't take revenge now, when will you?
This joke was naturally quickly known by others. Everyone's reactions were different. Although the final result made many people satisfied, after all, the remaining women probably wouldn't be easily provoked. But it also made many people feel that it was really worthy of Su shi's unfailing favor. They thought that she was used to consolidate favor, but in the end, she was chosen for her son. According to Le Chengdi's favor towards Jin Qinwang, Le Chengdi naturally wouldn't object to choosing people for him. Perhaps, he would be very happy. Noble Consort Su let Jin Qinwang stir up the situation again, so basically, it was the same as overturning a boat with a pole. This woman really wasn't sinister and treacherous. She effortlessly dealt with the potential enemy.
On the other hand, Qin Shufei only smiled faintly after hearing this. She said softly, "Everyone says that he is the most unrestrained and unrestrained. Who would have thought that he is actually the most infatuated and loyal. I really want to see how far he can go after they get married. Whether Luo San Guniang is blessed or not, we will see when the time comes. "
"Niangniang, please forgive this servant. This servant didn't hear what you said clearly. Can you say it again?" The palace servant asked for forgiveness.
Qin Shu Fei's temperament was good and her position was high enough. In the inner palace, she didn't fight or snatch. Although she wasn't as favored as Noble Consort Su, she wasn't considered bad. In the entire inner palace, there was probably no one who lived more comfortably than her. Because of this, the people who served her were more relaxed than other places and were slightly more daring. If it was another person, they wouldn't dare to say such words.
Qin Shu Fei waved her hand, "It's nothing. Bengong was just talking to herself. That's right, go invite Princess Gong Qin over. " In any case, she was her niece. She should warn her a few more times and not be incited by others to do things that she shouldn't do. Originally, she didn't need to do this kind of thing. However, that elder brother of hers had a violent temper and refused to speak properly. If she didn't explain things clearly to her, she might feel even more conflicted. After a long time, if other people whispered into her ear and she did something irreversible, it would be even more troublesome.
"Yes, Niangniang."
Li Hongyuan stayed for half a day and ate lunch with Noble Consort Su and the others. He didn't leave the temporary imperial residence and strolled back to his own courtyard. On the way, he met other brothers who looked at him with a bit of 'hidden bitterness'. Li Hongyuan was naturally clear about the inner workings, but these things had nothing to do with him. If they really had such thoughts, how could they shrink back just because of a few words from him? In the end, they didn't want face and wanted to leave a good impression with their father. Since that was the case, what was the point of being tainted by beauties? You had to give up something to gain something. It was impossible to not give up anything and still want to get everything.
Li Hongyuan had four maidservants. Two were left in the temporary imperial residence and two were left outside.
At this time, Li Hongyuan looked at the maidservants standing in front of him with lowered eyebrows. To be honest, they could be considered first-class beauties and weren't inferior to the previous eight. In the past, as long as they did their jobs well, Li Hongyuan couldn't be bothered to look at them. But now, Noble Consort Su hadn't sent anyone to him for several years. He hadn't taken care of anyone for only a few months, but she had already started to care about her son. Of course, if he refused, she wouldn't force him. However, the four maidservants by his side were all virgins. It was said that some people's eyes were very sharp. If this continued, sooner or later, clues would be found out.
His marriage with Wan Wan had already been set. Even if it was discovered, it didn't matter. It would definitely not be linked to Wan Wan. At most, it would be another round of wild guesses. For example, he was actually impotent. As long as these words didn't come from his wife's mouth, who would like to say it? However, it was still troublesome. If her fiancé was impotent, as his fiancée, she would definitely be involved in the rumors and be pointed at by others. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. Also, his so-called parents would probably be so worried that their hair would turn white. Even if they lost all their hair, it would have nothing to do with him. However, he was afraid that his ears would grow calluses. Therefore, it was better for these four maidservants to lose their virginity.
"Find yourself a man and consummate your marriage tonight. After the Princess Consort marries into the family, we will hold the wedding."
Their master had always been too lazy to talk to them. Although they didn't know as much as the personal bodyguards and shadow guards, they were very clear that the Luo family's third young lady had an extraordinary position in their master's heart. Originally, when they were suddenly called over, they were uneasy. Did they do something wrong to make their master unhappy? For them, there was nothing more frightening than this.
Their master's temper was indeed bad, but in fact, as long as they did their jobs well, their days were the most leisurely and relaxed. Because from the beginning, they had already given up the idea of climbing into the bed. They didn't need to compete for favor. Everyone was the same, so naturally, they could get along with each other in harmony. There was no scheming against each other, and their monthly salary was also high. In the entire capital, there was probably no other maidservant who could compare to them. Losing this job was the last thing they wanted. However, what did their master say? Find someone to consummate their marriage? Did they hear wrongly?
"Why, is there a problem?"
Both of them trembled and replied without thinking, "Replying to Master, there is no problem."
"In that case, you may leave."
After the two of them left and returned to their rooms, they couldn't help but look at each other. What did he mean by no problem? There was a big problem.
She wanted a girl to find a man for herself, and she even had to consummate the marriage tonight. She couldn't play with them like this. If Master wanted to 'marry' them off, he could have just pointed to someone. Obeying Master's orders was a matter of course, and it was more than awkward. Now that they were offering themselves to a man to sleep with, they didn't have to worry about being rejected, but they would definitely be looked at strangely. Even if they got married in the future, the other party would still have a knot in his heart.
For a moment, they wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Qing Shi, what should we do?" Qing Ge tugged at her handkerchief, her face full of anxiety.
"Don't you have someone in your heart? Go find him. I'll just randomly find someone." Qing Shi appeared to be more indifferent.
"But, but …"
"No buts. Master means what he says. If he wants to find a man, we have to find one. If he wants to consummate our marriage tonight, we have to consummate our marriage tonight."
"Is Qing Ci the same as Qing Fu?"
"Most likely. Master has always' treated everyone equally '. "
"I'll go find him tonight. If he's not willing, I'll just randomly find someone." Qing Ge said in a fit of pique and helplessness. "What about you? Do you have someone in mind?"
Qing Shi smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
As for Eunuch Mu, who was basically always at the side, he also didn't know what to say. Sure enough, his master was a scourge. Not only did he harm outsiders, but he also harmed his own people. In any case, those beautiful servant girls also served him. Even if they didn't make any contributions or hard work, they were still under his name. Not to mention what the people who were chosen by those servant girls would think, if they were married off in the future, it wouldn't sound good. Uh, fine, at that time, it was the princess consort who married them off. At worst, the princess consort would bear the title of a jealous woman, it was a small matter … Fart!
Eunuch Mu kept a straight face and cursed seriously in his heart. If the princess consort knew the cause and effect, what kind of expression would she have? Then he glanced at An Yi, who was also pretending to be a blockhead. As the head of the secret guards and the leader of the guards, because of his special status, he shouldn't be like other secret guards who had to wait until he retired to get married. However, the four servant girls only knew his identity on the surface. Maybe he had been targeted at this moment. Eunuch Mu was a little gloating.
"An Yi …"
"Master." An Yi immediately knelt down on one knee and waited for orders.
"Send someone to inform Imperial Uncle Zhong that this prince feels that there are too few people serving him."
"Yes."
So, not long after Le Chengdi woke up from his afternoon nap and was about to read the memorial, Prince Zhong came to the door, "… Brother, I heard that there are eight beauties, but nephew Hongyuan dislikes them very much. He dislikes them, but I don't dislike them. Give them all to me. It happens that I didn't bring many servants with me this time."
Le Chengdi looked at him for a moment. This younger brother was also a person who didn't abstain from meat and vegetables. He didn't do his job all day long. If the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. Even his sons were a group of bastards. However, he owed him after all. He knew what he was doing and didn't commit any major crimes. At most, it was just some trifles that attracted cats and dogs. It didn't matter if he raised him for a lifetime. Even if he died and his son ascended the throne, he was still an elder who didn't participate in the party struggle. Naturally, he wouldn't be mean to him. As for his children and grandchildren after his death, he couldn't care so much. "Go to the Imperial Consort. Take it easy on yourself. Don't hurt yourself. "
Prince Zhong laughed carelessly, "Brother, don't worry. I know."
Le Chengdi waved his hand, telling him to get lost quickly. It was annoying just to look at him.
Prince Zhong quickly got lost. He went to the Imperial Consort Su and asked for the girls. Then, he proudly took the eight dispirited beauties away. He didn't even care about those who were gossiping. What was face? How much was that thing worth? What was real? Everything else was fake. Don't think that he didn't hear the jealousy in some people's words.
Therefore, when he met people who didn't take face seriously, he was the only one who was depressed.
However, after Prince Zhong went back, the smile on his face disappeared. It could be seen that he wasn't as happy as he looked on the surface. It was true that he had been muddling along, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a brain. It was just that reality made him compromise again and again. In the end, he got used to it. He was used to making jokes and lowering his head in front of the strong. If his arm couldn't twist the thigh of others, then he wouldn't twist it.
"Isn't it good to just muddle along and wait for death?" Prince Zhong laughed at himself. Then, he grabbed the beauties with each hand and entered the room. Life was short. It was time to enjoy it.
Because he was in a bad mood, it was inevitable that he wouldn't be so gentle. In addition, it was the first time that the beauties had sex with him. The result could be imagined.
Prince Zhong's consort was deposed, but his two concubines were still there. Therefore, it seemed that no one thought that Prince Zhong's two concubines were actually full. Then, what should Ruan Fangfei do? Promote her to Princess Consort? Or demote a concubine? Or break the tradition and make her the third concubine? The first was obviously impossible. Le Chengdi firmly believed in Master Liaochen's words and would definitely suppress Ruan Fangfei. The second was that in order to compensate Prince Zhong, his two concubines were of good birth and had children. They didn't do anything wrong. What reason did he have to demote them? Then, the third might be the only choice. However, the ancestral law was there. How could she deserve it? In the end, she might have the title of concubine, but her name wouldn't be on the imperial jade archive. The result would be neither fish nor fowl.
So far, who had realized this?
Li Hongyuan probably didn't realize that Ruan Fangfei wasn't worthy of his attention.
But there were two people who definitely knew. They were Prince Zhong's two concubines. Their family backgrounds were similar. Without that vulgar and stupid consort's suppression, it was very likely that one of them would be promoted. Yes, what they saw was not only the threat that Ruan Fangfei brought, but also the opportunity. Why did they have to demote her to make room for her?
Knowing Prince Zhong's character, they naturally didn't count on him. The two arranged the eight women very tacitly. It was still uncertain whether the two who were already favored would be promoted to concubines. After all, there were six more. They couldn't promote all of them to concubines after they were favored. There was also a quota for the number of concubines a prince could have.
Prince Zhong was full and the depression in his heart also disappeared. Anyway, this benefit was his.
"Send an invitation to Miss Ruan. Invite her to the manor to admire the flowers and drink tea." Prince Zhong ordered the two concubines.
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same level. "Yes, Your Highness."
