MTL - Full-level Medical Repair Returns To True and False Thousand Gold Texts-Chapter 39 Concubine
Chapter 39 Choosing a Concubine
Gu Yanfei casually brushed off a strand of hair that was blowing on her cheeks, revealing her clear and beautiful chin line and a pink lotus-like neck. When her chin was slightly raised, her expression was a little careless.
Everyone in the water pavilion could not sit still.
Many people actually heard that the Queen Mother would come today, but that was just a rumor. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to come.
Looking at the empress dowager's dress today, it is obvious that she is traveling in micro clothes.
She and Princess Jing came in in a low-key manner, which meant that she didn't want to interrupt the polo match, so everyone present didn't get up and salute for the time being, just pretended they didn't know.
But their eyes couldn't help but drift towards the Queen Mother, thinking: It is rumored that the Queen Mother's palace wants to choose a concubine for King Kang, it seems that there are nine out of ten.
The current Empress Dowager's surname is Yuan. She is the successor of the previous emperor and was born in the Yuan family in Yangzhou.
Since the previous dynasty, the Yuan family has been a well-known aristocratic family, and it can be said to be extremely prominent in Yangzhou.
The Yuan family has lasted for more than 300 years, and there have been many officials in the family.
The Empress Dowager Yuan was fifteen years younger than the late Emperor. As soon as she entered the palace, she was very favored by the late Emperor, and gave birth to the late Emperor's youngest son, King Kang. In the later years of the emperor, there was a plan to abolish the prince, which shows that he favored King Kang.
Empress Dowager Yuan sat down on a red sandalwood carved Taishi chair under the scorching eyes of everyone, and every move was as elegant and dignified as if she had been measured with a ruler.
On the polo field, young figures galloped like horses and dashed on a rampage. The two sides chased the only ball and refused to let each other go.
Princess Jing sat beside the Queen Mother and whispered softly:
"The Empress Dowager, the girl in red riding the red horse is the Hong Da girl from the Longhu General's Mansion."
"That girl in pink is the second daughter of Mr. He, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou."
“…”
Princess Jing casually introduced several noble ladies present, all of whom were from famous families.
Mrs. Yuan set up a cloisonné enamel plum orchid bamboo pastel tea cup, and slowly used the tea lid to skim off the tea dust, as if listening and thinking.
"Snapped!"
Kang Kang grabbed the ball quickly and swiftly, then swung a stick vigorously and hit the ball at Gu Yunchang, who tacitly turned around and hit the ball accurately into the goal.
The score of the two teams was tied again.
The crowd cheered and applauded, and the smile on the corner of Queen Mother Yuan's lips was a little stiff.
Seeing this, an old lady in a rust-colored robe leaned down and said to her, "This is the second girl from Dingyuan Hou's mansion, Gu Yuncong."
Empress Dowager Yuan stopped moving the tea lid for a while, put down the tea cup, and glanced back and forth at King Kang and Gu Yuncong blankly.
This is the first time she has seen Gu Yunchang. She can't say whether she likes or dislikes this girl, but King Kang likes it.
Empress Dowager Yuan frowned lightly, and in her ears, what her son said to her two months ago sounded: "Empress mother, my son wants to marry the second girl from Yongding Hou's mansion as a concubine, so you can fulfill your son."
The Empress Dowager Yuan immediately asked Gu Yunxiang to investigate, only to know that Gu Yunxiang had already married the prince of the United Kingdom.
She was not very happy in her heart. She knew that her son was a stubborn mother, and her son had been like this since he was a child. Even if he wanted blood, he must get it.
She didn't want to have a rift between mother and son, so she barely objected, thinking about delaying it for a while before making plans.
but-
What she never expected was that the eldest prince, Chu Yi, came back alive.
Chu Yi has just returned to the dynasty and has not yet established a firm foothold. Whether it is noble courtiers or royal family members, they are all watching this prince who has been a pledge for many years. The emperor has a queen, it is very unfavorable for their mother and son.
Kang Kang needs help, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been lost since Gu Ce's death, and now there is no real power in the court...
"what!"
Suddenly, a low voice rang out one after another in the bamboo shed, drawing Empress Dowager Yuan's attention back.
In the polo field, the white ball was shot at Gu Yunchang on the white horse, as fast as a shooting star, getting closer and closer...
Gu Yunchang's face changed slightly, and in the next instant, a purple figure rushed to her side like lightning, blocking the ball with his back as a shield.
"Boom!"
Qiuju was thrown out violently, cutting through the blue sky.
Empress Dowager Yuan: "!!"
The pain was in the child's body, and the pain in the mother's heart. Empress Dowager Yuan felt as if the ball had hit her, and almost stood up in a complacent manner.
She wanted to be called for a time-out, but saw King Kang greet Gu Yunxuan as soon as possible, regardless of the injury.
"..." Empress Dowager Yuan forgot her words for a while, and pinched her neatly trimmed fingertips into her palm.
He is really obsessed!
Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes were full of dark tides, and the scene just now reverberated in front of her eyes again and again, and she was absent-minded about the next game.
"Clang!"
A piercing gong woke her from her thoughts, she looked at it intently, and found that the second half of the game was over.
The score of the red and blue teams stopped at ten to ten, and it was a draw.
This result surprised the audience a little bit, but also a little bit unsatisfied.
Most of the people in the field didn't care about winning or losing. The result of the draw couldn't have been better. One by one, they went off the field with a smile on their faces, changing the **** for tat during the game.
After leaving the polo field, Gu Yunchang quickly turned over and dismounted from the horse, followed by King Kang, who also jumped off the horse, his eyes fixed on Gu Yunchang.
Half-time polo consumed a lot of Gu Yunxiang's physical strength. Before she could recover, her breathing was a little short, and her fair and delicate face was dyed with a faint blush, which was charming and moving.
"嫆er." King Kang shouted in a low voice, wanting to take her by the hand and take her to see the Queen Mother, but Gu Yuncong turned his hand away nimbly, and his half-drooping eyelashes trembled.
Kang Kang's slender eagle eyes squinted and moved faster. This time, he firmly grasped Gu Yuncong's wrist and pulled her to the Queen Mother Yuan's side.
This scene was naturally caught in the eyes of other people around, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths, and all looked at this scene with different expressions.
The surrounding sound seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and it was silent.
Empress Dowager Yuan watched the pair of Bi people approaching her, and the distance was getting closer little by little.
Her hand as white as a girl suddenly squeezed the armrest of the Taishi chair, and she vaguely guessed what her son was going to say, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
In the eyes of everyone, King Kang calmly took Gu Yuncong's hand and walked directly in front of the Queen Mother Yuan. His expression was quite arrogant and looked down on the world, and he also regarded it as a treasure.
"Mother," he bowed to the Empress Dowager Yuan and said loudly, "My son wants to marry Gu Yunqiang as the queen concubine, and I hope that the mother will be successful!"
Gu Yunchang stood beside him, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked up at his sculptural profile.
He has always been cold and arrogant, but he is gentle and considerate towards her, sincere.
He especially moved her.
