MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1109 The unknown side

 Chapter 1109 The unknown side

In the palace, candles were extinguished everywhere at this moment, and both the masters and the eunuchs and maids took a rest.

 In the back hall of the imperial study, the emperor changed into his sleeping robe but did not sleep. He walked slowly on the floor.

"Your Majesty, please rest early. Tomorrow the prince will choose his concubine, and you will have to worry about it."

 Mr. Yi bowed down to serve him, carefully persuading him.

The emperor waved his hand and talked about something else.

“You have been with me for thirty years, right?”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave was still a young **** at that time. He was often bullied because of his thinness. The emperor was kind-hearted and took the old slave by his side to serve him, so the old slave was able to survive."

 Mr. Yi didn't know why the emperor asked about this, so he could only say nice things.

The emperor sighed and replied, "At that time, let alone you being a slave. Even though I was a prince, I was still living in fear. Fortunately, I had my cousin with me. Although it was a bit painful, I gradually got better."

Manager Yi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "I remember that on the day you ascended the throne, the Marquis held you and cried. That was the first time I saw the Marquis shed tears. He is usually cold. A face to protect you."

“Yes, my cousin is not much older than me, but in order to protect me, he always keeps a cold face, so others will be more cautious.

“Later I ascended the throne, but was suppressed by the Queen Mother, and my cousin took over the secret guard. After many life and death struggles, he helped me a lot, and finally made me equal to the Queen Mother...

“Later, I became a biological child, but my cousin was always alone. Fortunately, I accepted Fu Niuer as my adopted daughter, otherwise I would never know what it’s like to be a parent for the rest of my life…”

The emperor rarely opened the box, and actually ordered to ask for wine and vegetables to consider himself.

 Mr. Yi stayed by his side and played a role of admiration.

From time to time, he echoed one or two sentences, followed by two or three sighs.

It was not until midnight that the emperor was half drunk and put down the wine bottle.

“Sometimes, I miss my childhood. Although it was more painful, it was also much simpler. There was no last resort, no dilemma...”

 After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Go down and have a rest. I'm going to sleep too."

Manager Yi quickly saluted, then stepped back and closed the door tightly.

The crescent moon in the sky hangs alone, as if its crooked eyes are mocking the filthiness of the world, the selfishness and hypocrisy of mankind...

 Compared to the title of crown prince, today's concubine selection was actually more lively.

Although there were only more than a hundred girls participating in the election, the number of relatives and friends who saw them off, as well as the maids and women who were accompanying them, totaled more than a thousand, and the palace gate was surrounded by water.



Occasionally, the father and brother of the girl who participated in the election would come with her. Her head would be so big due to the noise that she would almost leave the "battle circle" as if she were running for her life.

 Fortunately, as soon as the sky became brighter, the palace door opened.

The house that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet in front of the door.

The girls were dressed up one by one, walking gracefully, showing off their dignified and gentle beauty, and then lined up to enter the palace.

 The Queen Mother made a big mistake and has returned to the underworld.

The imperial concubine is counting ants in the cold palace.

Although the queen is "alive", she is actually dead.

 There is not even a mistress in this huge palace.

 So, after everyone in the Ministry of Rites cut off most of their hair, they came up with an idea to show off their talents.

The main venue is still in the Imperial Garden. The emperor and the prince are in the water pavilion not far away, and the three princesses are invited to sit and entertain the guests.

The ladies of each family were a little worried at first. After all, the third princess was really difficult to get along with, and they did not care about their face at all when they spoke and acted.

 But when he changed his mind, he realized that they were not here to be guests at a banquet, but to choose a concubine.

From now on, I can’t tell who will be the third princess’s sister-in-law!

 No matter how noble the third princess is, she will get married soon. A married woman, no matter how arrogant she is, would not have the guts to embarrass her mother-in-law’s sister-in-law. After all, she will have to count on her mother-in-law’s support in the future!

Thinking like this, the ladies became confident and returned to their arrogant appearance as noble ladies from their aristocratic families.

 But they are destined to be disappointed again.

 The third princess lost her mother and had to observe mourning for a few days. She was filled with anger.

 At this moment, the eyes are full of flowers and golden lights. How can I give them a good look?

So, the talent list submitted by many ladies was taken in her hand and changed beyond recognition.

 The person who was good at playing the piano changed to dancing.

 Those who are good at dancing can change it to painting.

 Those who are good at painting can switch to embroidery.

 In short, no one wants to get what they want, and everyone should show the other side that no one knows.

 The ladies were all confused, wondering if they were not optimistic about the good or bad luck when they went out today.

 Some smart people kept silent and watched the changes.

 Those who are squeamish have red circles under their eyes.

Of course, there are also bold and upright people who will oppose it whenever they open their mouths.

"Your Highness, my daughter is not good at playing the piano, and she wants to dance. For this reason, she has specially made a dance costume and practiced for a long time. You can't change it just because you say it!"

The third princess didn't care, and while eating the fruit leisurely, she replied, "Since you are here to choose a concubine, shouldn't you make thorough preparations? You are good at dancing, so I, the princess, must watch you dance?"

"Besides, hasn't your upbringing mother taught you? People should stay together for a long time. Don't look at the glamorous appearance, but look at the real inside. Who knows if you are dancing so well, but you are vicious on the inside? Selfish?

“What if the prince’s brother is attracted by your dancing and finds out after marrying you that you are a loser who can’t even write or pick up a needle and thread?”

"You..." The noble girl gritted her teeth in anger, but she didn't dare to say anything.

  After all, she would become a scheming woman who tried her best to cover up her shortcomings.

　　When the "outstanding bird" hits a wall, the rest of the people will naturally not be so stupid as to look for him one after another.

 For a time, everyone accepted the fact that the rules were temporarily changed.

The first noble lady to appear drew two ducks, which were said to be mandarin ducks playing in the water.

 The second noble lady who appeared on the scene flashed her waist while dancing!

The third noble lady who appeared had her finger pricked by a needle before she embroidered a red leaf...

The third princess found fun, eating and drinking while watching everyone make a fool of herself, and occasionally clapped her hands and laughed a few times.

At first, the ladies were hoping that the emperor or the prince would stop the three princesses in the water pavilion opposite and make decisions for them.

 As a result, no orders came out from the water pavilion.

Gradually, they also became numb.

　　Just be ashamed if you are embarrassed, the left and right are not the same person.

If everyone is embarrassed, then it is no longer a shame!

　　When one girl kicked off her shoes while dancing and the shoes were embedded in another girl's bun, the third princess almost slapped the table and almost rolled to the ground with laughter.

 There was finally some movement in the water pavilion opposite.

The prince coughed, and the smell of tea spurting out of his nose was too unpleasant.

 But he still couldn't stop laughing!

The emperor also pulled up his sleeves to cover his face, his shoulders shaking non-stop.

Manager Yi was busy passing the veil to the prince, wiping the table, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, do you really not need to stop the princess?"

 Two updates today~~
