    At night, Liu Shu lit the candles in the main hall, and Chuyao ordered her to extinguish only one candle. She lay on the couch and read the book intently.

    "Miss, it's time to drink anti-fetal medicine." Liu Shu came in with the medicine bowl, took out the scroll in Chuyao's hand, and said, "It's not good for your eyes to be so dark, don't read it."

    Chu Yao raised her head and smiled helplessly: "The more you manage, the wider you become."

    "It's fine if Miss is disciplined." Liu Shu put away her book, brought the medicine bowl to her mouth, and said playfully, "Ah, open your mouth."

    Chuyao bent the corner of her mouth, opened her mouth and drank the medicine. The only thing that hasn't changed in the past two years is Liu Shu, who still looks like a little girl. She is eighteen years old now.

    "In a few days, I will give you as a housekeeper to someone else, so that you can really be a housekeeper." Chu Yao frowned after drinking the medicine.

    "Miss is reluctant." Liu Shu smiled with her eyes bent, suddenly wrinkled her nose, and said: "Miss's fragrance seems to be a little different."

    Hearing this, Chuyao thought of the sachet on her body, so she took it out of her sleeve and said, "It is said that it has the effect of calming the nerves, so put it away."

    Liu Shu took it and said with a smile, "What a unique sachet."

    Chu Yao lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

    Ten days later, after He Ling, Mu Kerou and Ye Mao were gone, Fengqi Palace seemed to be deserted, she didn't need any servants by herself, and the only ones waiting outside the palace were Liu Shu and  Li Ruifang.

    It was almost May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but Chuyao's palms were often sweaty. Gong Lin said that it was caused by her weak and cold constitution, and she just needed to calm down.

    In this huge Fengqi Palace, there is no sound of walking, so it is not quiet enough, but it is too difficult to calm the mind.

    This day, Chuyao felt a little groggy, just lying on the couch, when she heard footsteps rushing in, even if she didn't open her eyes, she knew who it was.

    As soon as Liu Shu came in, she saw that Chuyao was going to sleep with her eyes closed, so she was about to retreat, she turned her voice, and then heard Chuyao jokingly said: "You are not allowed to enter the main hall without the mother's announcement."

    Chuyao was imitating what she had said to Li Ruifang to amuse her that day, Liu Shu turned around and pursed her mouth: "Miss made fun of me again."

    The corner of Chuyao's mouth twitched slightly: "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, what's the matter in such a hurry?"

    It was only then that Liu Shu remembered what she wanted to say, and suddenly fell silent again, as if it was difficult to speak.

    Chuyao roughly guessed something, she chuckled: "Did Xiu Nu enter the palace?"

    "Yes." Liu Shu bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Eunuch Wu said that the emperor will be selected in Chunyi Garden at noon tomorrow, and the empress is also invited to attend."

    "You go back to him." Chuyao paused for a moment, and said forcefully, "Tomorrow the Japanese Palace will be on time."

    "Miss" Liu Shu wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know how to persuade her.  Originally, the matter of the emperor accepting the concubine should be handled by the queen alone, and Chu Yao has no position to refuse.

    "He's still waiting outside, let's go back to him." Chuyao naturally knew what Liu Shu was worried about, and said, "Instead of passively accepting it, it's better to take the initiative to choose, isn't it?"

    Liu Shu heard what Chuyao said, and after thinking about it, she thought it made sense, so she went to the gate of the palace to reply to Wu Nian.

    Wu Nian got a reply in Fengqi Palace, so he immediately went to Hanzhang Palace to reply to Rong Shaoyang.  He knelt on the ground and trembled a little. Ever since he conveyed the queen's meaning, he felt a chill emanating from Rong Shaoyang's body, which made him dare not move.

    Bi Tong came in with his things and motioned for Wu Nian to step down, and then he bowed and left the hall as if he had been pardoned.

    "Your Majesty, this is iced summer soup." Bi Tong also noticed Rong Shaoyang's uneasy expression, and she probably knew why.

    Ten days ago, Chuyao knew about the selection of concubines, but she didn't respond at all. This time Rong Shaoyang sent Wu Nian to report for tomorrow's selection. He actually hoped that she would refuse, and let him know  She still cared about him a little bit, but she didn't expect that she agreed so readily.

    "Bi Tong, how is Ming Su doing now?" Rong Shaoyang asked with calm eyes.

    Bi Tong was slightly taken aback, Rong Shaoyang hadn't asked Ming Su for a long time, now that he mentions it, I'm afraid Ming Su's life will be difficult again.

    "Still lying on the bed recuperating." Bi Tong lowered her head and whispered.

    "Let her stay outside Chunyi Garden tomorrow." Rong Shaoyang's tone left no room for criticism.

    Bi Tong could only obey in a low voice.

    Early the next morning, the sky was boundless, the sun was shining fiercely on it, and the weather was so hot that even a little movement made people sweat.

    Chuyao sat in a Fengluan sedan chair, and was carried to Chunyi Garden in a stable manner. When the sedan chair fell, Liushu supported Chuyao.Get down, slowly step into the gate of Chunyi Garden, and see Ming Su standing there wrapped in white cloth at the gate of the hall.

    Chu Yao was slightly startled, took a look at her, stepped into the hall, and sat on the phoenix chair beside Rong Shaoyang.

    "You are really on time." Rong Shaoyang looked sideways at her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

    "How could I delay such a major event as choosing a concubine." Chu Yao said flatly without looking at him directly.

    "I remember that the queen once urged me to choose a concubine, and now that I have listened to the queen's persuasion, the queen is happy?" Rong Shaoyang smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up.

    "Choosing a concubine is to make the emperor happy, so it doesn't matter whether the concubine is happy or not?" Chu Yao asked back.

    "These show girls will all be the queen's sisters in the future, so of course it's important whether the queen is happy." The corners of Rong Shaoyang's mouth gradually showed some sarcasm.

    Chuyao still stared ahead and stopped talking to him. After a while, the eunuch began to announce the names of the beautiful women to enter the palace one by one.

    Chuyao is no stranger to this scene. More than a year ago, she was standing outside the hall like this, waiting to come in. She suddenly said, "The scene when Xiao Jing was selected is exactly the same as now."

    Rong Shaoyang's knuckles flexed slightly, without any waves, as if he unconsciously said: "Really?"

    "Yes, I reported my names one by one, and I was the last one at that time." Chu Yao calmly seemed to be talking about other people's affairs.

    Rong Shaoyang's slender fingers had been slightly drawn, and his face was as usual, but Chuyao could feel that he was so calm on the surface.

    "The others were basically selected by Feng Zheng, and only I was given flowers by him to stay in the palace." Chu Yao continued to speak plainly, looking sideways at the beautiful girl who came into the palace, and said to Wu Nian, "This is a flower gift."

    Rong Shaoyang saw Chuyao's casual attitude, and his eyes gradually darkened.

    Fifteen beautiful women entered the palace, but Chuyao actually bestowed flowers on ten of them to stay in the palace, as if he was afraid that there would not be enough people to serve him.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
