C219 Angry Crown Prince (2/2)
This scene shocked even Mu Ru Yue.
One must know that the person standing behind Nangong Zi Yuan was the entire Nangong family! In this sort of situation, the first thing the emperor thought of was actually Murong Xi? What else was behind the Mu Rong family?
As Mu Ru Yue thought this, her gaze darkened. The collaboration he had with Yun Muran had also cast a shadow over Mu Ru Yue's heart.
After the golden hairpins were distributed, the empress had an ugly expression on her face. As for Nangong Zi Yuan, she had a blank expression on her face. It was as though she had encountered something unbelievable. Mu Ru Yue was really curious about who the consort selection banquet would be, so she quickly discovered this change.
”Aunt Yu?” The empress's tone was unpleasant, as if she had lost her temper on the spot. Seeing this, Aunt Yu bowed. ”In reply to the Empress, these three golden hairpins are your choice.” Aunt Yu was also very confused because it was different from what she had imagined!
The empress had the note in Aunt Yu's hand. Then, with a darkened expression, he announced: ”Ladies and gentlemen, these three golden hairpins are the three choices made by me, Mei Fei, and Princess Wushuang. I believe that Lady Nalan is both talented and good-looking, as well as virtuous and demure, should be chosen. On the other hand, Princess Wushuang chose Miss Qin. As for Mei Fei? ”And so, he chose Murong Xi.”
The empress gritted her teeth as she finished her sentence.
These words caused everyone present to be stunned.
Amongst those present, if it wasn't officials, then it was the children of the royal family. The women who were able to stay and attend the consort selection banquet were all extremely intelligent. Some women knew from the start that they were just a foil. So don't do it, he thought.
However, Murong Xi being selected shocked everyone!
Now it seemed that even the empress was dissatisfied.
”Crown Prince, are you satisfied with the three of us?” The empress's heart was very dissatisfied with Feng Qing, so he looked towards his, trying to get some help from his. After all, he was the one who had chosen the crown prince's consort, and a person like Murong Xi was marrying the crown prince? It was no different from insulting him. I'm sure he won't agree.
The Queen thought in her heart as everyone looked at Feng Qing.
Feng Qing's gaze landed on Murong Xi. He then looked at Murong Yue, who hadn't even seen him before, and actually started laughing. This smile was like the first melting of ice, blooming of a snow lotus. He looked at the crowd and only said, ”I have no objections.”
He seemed to have made up his mind. The empress was dissatisfied, but could say no more. Although she wasn't satisfied with Murong Xi, it was best not to offend the Mu Rong family for the time being, especially not to let Mei Fei take advantage of them.
Thinking this, the empress smiled and said, ”If that's the case, then these three golden hairpins are well-deserved. It was not early yet, so the girls must be tired, so they decided to rest here. ”Later, when the emperor arrives and the final candidate is confirmed with the crown prince, a banquet will be held.”
The queen got up and left.
Princess Wushuang and Aunt Yu followed her. Princess Yun Rou, who was seated below, glanced at Mei Fei who was sitting at the highest position, and then chased after her. After all the people in the palace had left, Madam Mei then stood up and leisurely walked down to greet the crown prince. ”Crown Prince.”
”You are Mei Fei?” Feng Qing's gaze was faint. At this moment, his mood was extremely poor. Hence, his attitude was not kind when facing this person who was invited to be disgusted with him.
But Mei Fei acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued, ”Yes, concubine is Mei Fei. ”I am indebted to Your Majesty for the favor of allowing me to enter the palace.”
”Then thank you royal father, why are you telling this to me?” Feng Qing's words caused Mei Fei's expression to stiffen. However, she still saluted him before leaving. When the ministers saw this scene, they all felt that it was inconceivable.
One must know that although the Crown Prince was heartless to people, he was still very polite to women. Could it be that he really felt that the appearance of Mei Fei was an insult to him?
At this time, Feng Qing had already left. As he left, he looked at Mu Ru Yue with a complicated gaze.
