C14 His Mind

Duanmu Jue would come to the Fenglin Palace a few times, but Murong Nichang was always neither hot nor cold, making him far away from her. Currently, the Liu Family and Murong Clan were battling in the imperial court, with one daughter being the empress dowager, the other being the empress dowager and Imperial Consort Shu.

In his heart, Duanmu Jue understood that the previous dynasty was chaotic, and the harem would not be at peace either. Since Murong Nichang had just entered the palace and was acting in a restrained manner, no one would be able to pick her out wrongly, but the talent competition was imminent, and once a new concubine joined the palace, they would definitely fight to the death. At that time, as long as he gathered all three thousand of his favors onto Murong Nichang, he would definitely arouse the wrath of the people and even Murong Nichang's Murong Clan would not be able to deal with it once she fell.

Duanmu Jue frowned deeply. He held a pen in his hand and left a long mark on the Xuan paper as if he was thinking about something. Guan Mi glanced at him with the corner of his eye.

"Your Majesty, spare me!" Your majesty, spare me! For the sake of this old servant's loyalty, you spared me! "

This sudden request made Duanmu Jue frown even more. He put down the pen in his hand and asked: "What are you doing?"

Guan Mi wiped off the sweat on his forehead and replied: "Last time, His Majesty was taking a nap after eating lunch at Fenglin Palace, this servant originally wanted His Majesty to send Xiao Xuanzi out to deliver a message, but I didn't expect Xiao Xuanzi to allow Fenglin Palace's maid Qing Xue to touch a cup of tea on his way. Xiao Xuanzi was afraid that Fenglin Palace's Xiao Linzi would go ahead of him to break the etiquette, so the message naturally lost its original meaning, Your Majesty please spare me!"

Unconsciously, Duanmu Jue gripped his hand tightly. His fingernails left a mark on his palm. No wonder Imperial Physician Yu Shi didn't admonish him because of this matter. He was secretly taken advantage of. Murong Nichang had good intentions!

His Majesty doesn't need to be so anxious, Guan Mi said softly. Duanmu Jue swept his cold gaze over to him, but Guan Mi knew that he would not die, and bravely said: "Right now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs selection is about to begin. There are many new disciples that have just entered the palace, and all of the palace ladies have their own thoughts. As for favors, they might not be true. As long as you don't disappoint us, we will be the ones favoring you! "

Guan Mi was right! Duanmu Jue slightly smiled. Why would he need to get a response? His attack had nothing to do with Murong Nichang taking the attack or not. As long as he was against Murong Nichang, others would naturally regard him as an enemy.

"Is His Majesty feeling better again?" When their gazes met, Duanmu Jue instructed: "Inform Ministry of Internal Affairs, this year's talent show will extend the age limit, and all girls from the Shangguan Family who have reached the age of 15 will be selected."

When the brush landed on the paper, the black, thin, golden characters firmly wrote a line of words: "The mountains return to the water, there is no path; the flowers bloom in the dark, there is another village …"

"Jun Ruoyang and Lu Chen, your concubine is like turbid cement. Floating water has its own potential, when shall we rendezvous? " Qing Xue slowly read the words Murong Nichang had written on the paper. "Empress, what type of words are these? They look really good, but …" It's just that it's a bit more forceful, not like the little kai you used to like. "

"These are thin gold words!" Murong Nichang smiled faintly as she wrote, thinking that human body memory was really strange. In her previous life, she had learned Duanmu Jue's usual writing style, but now, when she raised the brush, it was the same type as before. She had almost forgotten all about it.

Seeing Murong Wei in a daze, Qing Xue served a cup of white nutmeg water and asked, "Empress, are you worried about Xiao Linzi?"

"What's there to worry about?" Murong Jun took a deep breath with an unchanging expression. "If Your Majesty wanted to punish me, you would have already done so. Do you think Guan Mi would hide this from you?" Those who can stay by Duanmu Jue's side after he ascends the throne are all smart people! "

"Empress, you mean the emperor already knows?"

Murong looked at the zither playing by the window and slowly nodded, "Not only do you know, I believe Eunuch Guan has already set our Fenglin Palace up."

"Then what should we do? We can't offend Eunuch Guan! " Qing Xue looked a little worried.

"What are you afraid of!" Murong Mu's eyes flashed as he said, "Guan Mi, no matter how good you are to him, he is still Duanmu Jue's man!"

"Empress, Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent over the namelist!" Just as they were speaking, Nanny Rui entered the inner hall. Currently, only Nanny Rui, Qing Xue, and Mann Xue were allowed to enter the Fenglin Palace inner hall.

"How many?" Murong knew that it would definitely be a lot more than the previous years.

"A total of sixteen people replied to the Empress!" Nanny Rui was slightly surprised when she reported the news. Even if most of the female contestants were eliminated, the 16 of them could still be reduced in number. Could it be that the Emperor wasn't afraid of the world calling him a lustful lover?

"Put it there!" I'll watch again in a while! " On the other hand, Murong Qingcheng was extremely calm. She thought that there would be more, but it seemed that Duanmu Jue wasn't generous enough. He didn't have the courage to make it to the imperial harem of 3000.

"Empress, His Majesty has just ascended the throne. He has already chosen so many people for his first talent show. Aren't you afraid of the world commenting?" Qing Xue was still young after all. She couldn't help but ask inwardly.

"What are you afraid of? His Majesty has no children, and everyone in the world is hoping for the imperial harem to give birth to a prince. Only with the imperial harem would the country be safe and sound, so he knows what to do, so there is no need for us to worry! "

"But …" Murong Nichang's calm tone made Qing Xue feel a little uncomfortable. "But esteemed wangfei, don't think about yourself. What should esteemed wangfei do when there are so many select girls?" This is only the start of our wedding! "

"Qing Xue!" If you say anymore nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! " If Qing Xue's words made Murong Wei unhappy, then wouldn't that mean that the empress had no respect for Duanmu Jue and couldn't tolerate Gong Fei's words?

"I am the empress, and this is my duty. Since I am unable to give birth to Royal Son for His Majesty, I have to choose a beauty to pay tribute to him. Qing Xue, we have to get our identities straight!"

"This servant knows her wrongs!" She lightly bit her tongue. Next time, she would not dare to casually say it again.

"Nanny, have you sent people to the Yonghe Palace before?" Murong continued to write in ink.

"In reply to the Empress, I've sent them. Imperial Consort De agreed as well, saying that Imperial Consort De will come here personally later!"

Murong Nichang's lips curved into a smile as she wrote down Imperial Consort De's name on the paper. Once a newcomer enters the palace, she will fight with Imperial Consort Shu. If Imperial Consort De wanted to take advantage of this situation, she would also need her permission.

"Qing Xue, Imperial Consort Chou De is coming over soon. Hurry up and make a pot of good tea. I will treat her well!" Murong ordered as he put down his brush.
