MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 556 Prime Minister Xie is here
A group of red and pink fragrances filled the entire garden where the banquet was held.
The ladies who came to participate in the selection of concubines all had different word cards hanging on their waists.
This is a method thought up by the Secretary of Palace Affairs, just to make it easier for Mo Lingwei to choose a word card when he doesn't know who to choose.
The lady whose name is called will naturally have the opportunity to talk to the prince.
In this way, all the ladies attending the banquet became more confident.
Because being able to talk to the prince is not about family background, but luck. If the prince can draw the word cards in their hands, the trip will be worth it!
Meng Wan Ning was also among them, and she was pretending to others: "I am not here to compete for the position of the crown prince's concubine, but I have never had the opportunity to have a banquet with the crown prince, so I came to take a look."
The lady who was talking to her smiled and said, "The prince may not be there. Otherwise, look, it's been half an hour since the banquet started. Why hasn't the prince shown up yet?"
Meng Wan Ning also became suspicious.
Could it be that the prince's agreement to choose a concubine was just for show?
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the garden gate.
Someone shouted in surprise: "The Crown Prince is here!"
The ladies all took out their handkerchiefs, pulled back their hair, and stood up straight, just to appear in Mo Lingwei's eyes in their best condition.
I saw that the ladies separated a path in the middle.
The sun was shining, and the smoke was rising, and the incense burner in the garden was dim. The noble prince came with long strides, causing the chaos of smoke to dissipate.
He is tall and tall, with crown-length hair, handsome and sharp facial features, and a kind of indifference of a superior.
At this moment, Mo Lingwei passed directly in front of the ladies without squinting.
Suddenly.
I don’t know whose veil fell off, but it happened to be blown by the wind in front of Mo Lingwei’s boots.
He paused, lowered his eyes, and looked meaningfully.
The **** behind Mo Lingwei quickly picked it up: "Whose veil is this? Why are you so careless?"
A lady stood up weakly: "Go back to my father-in-law, it's a girl. I didn't hold it firmly, so it was blown away."
She had a figure as tall as a willow tree and a dignified and elegant face. When she walked in front of Mo Lingwei, her cheeks showed a cautious blush.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me for my sin, I never meant it.”
Mo Lingwei has a golden crown and black hair, and a handsome face that seems to be generating a trace of cold air.
Unexpectedly, there was a faint sneer on his thin lips: "It's just a veil, you were careless, how can you blame me for a trivial matter?"
His voice was magnetic and beautiful, and the girl's face suddenly turned pinker.
However, the next second, Mo Lingwei glanced sideways and told the **** behind him: "Let her come out of the palace. She can't even hold the veil. It shows that she is weak. Taking such a girl as a concubine means that she will serve the orphans." , or will you serve her alone?"
The lady was shocked: "Your Highness? My daughter is in very good health. It was just an accident!"
Mo Lingwei turned around and smiled. Everyone around him saw that the smile on his face was full of coldness.
“Loneliness never believes in accidents, take her away.”
The **** waved his hand quickly, and the imperial army stepped forward and mercilessly dragged away the lady begging for mercy.
Mo Lingwei walked to his seat and sat down, holding a teacup in his big palm, with a leisurely and lazy posture, and a proud look on his thin eyes.
“I have very little patience, so I asked in advance if anyone else is feeling unwell like her. Please leave the palace as soon as possible so as not to waste Gu’s time.”
Only this was the killing monkey, who dared to deliberately show off in front of him.
Both of them lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
Mo Lingwei ate and drank tea by himself, and did not interact with any ladies. Sitting there, he was like a black cloud, weighing down everyone's hearts.
When the **** in charge of the Palace Affairs Department saw this, he felt bad.
So he stepped forward and handed the prepared booklet to Mo Lingwei.
"Your Highness, every lady received a card from the Palace Secretary when they entered the palace today. You can choose a card to decide who will share the dinner with you in three days." They ate together. , which means that whichever lady's Ci card is drawn, she will have a chance to be alone with the prince.
Some of the girls couldn't help but looked up at Mo Lingwei, and then at the booklet in his hand.
Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows and flipped through the pages one by one. The three-character word card passed by his eyes without arousing the slightest interest in his eyes.
at this time.
Chen Shaobei came from outside: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Xie is here and is asking for an audience outside your study."
Mo Lingwei stood up suddenly: "Thank you, Prime Minister?"
Xie Suzhi came at the right time.
Mo Lingwei's first reaction was that Shen Ningning was too embarrassed to stop him, so he asked his father Xie Suzhi to dissuade him.
No matter what the reason was, Mo Lingwei was willing to give Shen Ningning a step down.
He immediately threw down the book and strode out: "Go with me to see him."
The **** in charge of the Palace Affairs Department hurriedly picked up the book and chased after him: "His Royal Highness, please choose one, so that the servant can work for the emperor."
Mo Lingwei glanced at him impatiently and pointed to a word card on the booklet: "That's it, Yu Nujiao."
After saying that, he hurriedly took Chen Shaobei away.
As soon as Mo Lingwei's figure disappeared, the garden exploded like boiling water.
“Who is Yunujiao?”
“I don’t know, I am Qingyu An.”
“It’s not me, I got Yu Lou Chun.”
Everyone looked at each other's word cards and guessed who this lucky lady would be.
At this moment, a voice of joy came from the crowd.
“Eunuch, Yunujiao is my signature word!”
Everyone turned around and saw Meng Wan Ning holding up the word sign in her hand, pushing aside the crowd and stepping forward.
The father-in-law in charge checked it and nodded: "It is indeed you. Miss, please come with the slave and make some notes. Then, three days later, the palace will send someone to pick you up and have a banquet with His Highness."
Meng Wan Ning was hit by the huge surprise and walked a little in a daze.
"Okay, okay! I'm here to help you, father-in-law." She followed the father-in-law in charge and left.
I even felt proud and proud, holding my chin high along the way, walking away in the envious or jealous eyes of the ladies around me.
Some people couldn’t help but comment.
"Isn't that the lady of the Meng family? I heard that she likes the third son of the Xie family!"
“The third young master doesn’t like her, so now that she has seized this opportunity, she is afraid that she will climb a branch and become a phoenix!”
Soon, this matter spread outside the palace.
At the same time, Mo Lingwei had returned to the study room of Zichen Palace and received Xie Suzhi very politely.
Even though he was angry with Shen Ningning, Mo Lingwei still paid due respect to her father, who was the prime minister of the court.
"Prime Minister Xie, please take a seat." Mo Lingwei gestured to sit aside. Then he lifted his robe, sat down beside him, and poured tea for Xie Suzhi with his own hands.
Xie Suzhi didn't dare to sit down. He was wearing an official robe, which made him tall and tall, with a mature and steady face, full of respect.
“Your Highness, I am not here for government affairs this time, so I will get straight to the point.”
Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows: "Okay, did Shen Ningning ask you to come to Gu?"
Xie Suzhi was silent for a moment and then said: "I want to see His Highness myself, but Ning Ning doesn't know about it yet."
Mo Lingwei's movement of holding the tea stopped in mid-air, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
“What’s the matter?” His voice was a little cold.
