The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 155 Participating in the Palace Selection

On February 26th of the Wuxu year, heavy snow suddenly came all over the sky.

A heavy snow fell on the entire Northern Dynasty's harem.

Chunyue held an umbrella in one hand and a basket filled with vegetables and meat in the other. She let the snow fall on her body and hurried towards the Yanxi Palace.

The snow on the road soaked my shoes and socks.

But there was no sign of fatigue on her face.

After a while, she pushed open the door of Yanxi Palace.

The little notebook that had been waiting for a long time quickly took it, said something, and rushed to the kitchen.

"Haruzuki. Drink some ginger tea quickly. Otherwise you'll catch a cold."

Kikuhei brought a bowl of orange-yellow ginger tea and handed it to the breathless Chunyue.

This year, the Northern Dynasty was half a degree colder than usual. Nan Xiang was concerned about the palace maids and eunuchs in the Yanxi Palace, so she had people cook ginger tea so that these palace maids and eunuchs could keep warm in time after finishing their work.

"Thank you, Sister Kikuhei!"

Chunyue smiled, revealing her white teeth.

"You are just impatient. You run so fast. Be careful not to fall."

Kikuhei pretended to be angry and scolded Haruzuki with a smile.

"Don't I want the two young masters to starve?"

Chunyue pouted. She felt happy when she thought of the two little guys who always pestered her.

At this time, in the Yanxi Palace, a beautiful figure and two little kids were sitting around a pot burning in a stove, eating delicious food comfortably.

The hot steam from the pot made Nanxiang's face a little red. She had her hair tied up in a round shape, with a few emerald-studded hairpins inserted in it. The long hair at the ends naturally fell on her shoulders.

"Eat more!"

Nanxiang picked up the slices of meat from the plate and put them into the pot while whispering to the two little ones.

"Mother, this is so delicious." Gu Jinxuan couldn't help but exclaim in praise as she chewed the freshly blanched meat slices.

"If it tastes good, thank you more. That way you can grow up quickly."

Hearing this, Nanxiang narrowed her eyes slightly.

He specially ordered this pot to be customized in the style of modern hot pot so that people can eat hot food in this cold winter.

The meat slices were also cut into thin slices according to her request and could be eaten after blanching for a few minutes.

When she first entered the palace, she had the idea of ​​making hot pot, but her position was low at that time, so it was not easy for her to do such a thing, and she was also busy making a living.

Things are different now. She has a high position and free time, and she can also let her two children experience the delicious hot pot.

The two little ones couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, so she had to take care of three people at the same time.

This way, people eat a lot, and maybe more people can enjoy the meal.

After a while, the two little ones' faces turned red from eating, and hot sweat appeared on their faces. The coldness in their bodies had long been dispelled.

……

After noon, Nanxiang held a book in her hand, frowning from time to time, revealing a look of reminiscence.

The book in her hand was the list of candidates who would participate in the palace selection tomorrow.

She was selected to enter the palace four years ago. At that time, she was still an ignorant girl who only wanted to enter the palace and become a favorite concubine.

Now everything has gone as she wished. She has become the third most honorable person in the harem besides the emperor and the empress dowager, and she also has two hungry little ones by her side who need her protection.

But she was happy and comfortable, and her life became much more fun.

Unexpectedly, Gu Junshen actually let her participate in this year's palace selection.

According to him, the Queen Mother did not attend for some reason, and the Queen no longer had real power, so now she was the one who could make the decision.

After hearing this, Nanxiang could only nod and agree to participate in tomorrow's palace selection.

"I wonder what interesting people I'll meet in this palace selection!"

Nan Xiang couldn't help but recall the several beauties selected by Gu Junshen and the Queen Mother two years ago. They were all beautiful ladies with stunning looks.

Their backgrounds are not simple either. In the past two years, these beauties have successively served the emperor in the harem and have been competing for favor in the harem.

Some of the dirty tricks were too simple and were discovered by Nanxiang.

As long as Nanxiang handled her business impartially, these concubines were well behaved for a while.

However, no concubine has successfully become pregnant in the past three years, and Nanxiang knows the reason.

She also thought about using this to bring down Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian was too cautious.

Just as she was about to take action, all traces were cleaned up completely, which really opened her eyes.

……

At noon the next day, Nanxiang was dressing up in the palace.

Perhaps the two kids heard the noise, so they got up one after another, stood in front of Nanxiang, and looked at her intently.

"Don't you want to sleep? It's still early."

Nanxiang asked softly.

"Mother is dressed so gorgeously, but are you going to play?"

When talking about playing, Gu Yuchen's two bright eyes blinked, making Nan Xiang smile repeatedly.

"You just know how to play. Your mother and your father have some important business to attend to. You two should go to bed."

Nanxiang inserted the pearl hairpin in her hand into her bun and urged the two little ones softly.

"Mother. I want to go too." Gu Yuchen pulled Nan Xiang's clothes and begged in a coquettish voice.

"Mother can't say anything about this. You should ask your father."

Nanxiang shook her head slightly and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but when she saw the pair of eyes shining with light, she stopped in dismay.

Gu Yuchen felt a little disappointed after hearing this.

My father will certainly not agree.

"My dear, go to bed. Sister Chunyue will prepare the pastries soon."

Upon seeing this, Kikuhei immediately resorted to gourmet food.

Sure enough, after hearing about pastries, the two little ones' eyes lit up and they showed some unusual movements.

Then the two of them were coaxed into bed by Caiyun.

……

When they arrived at the Kunning Hall where the palace selection was held, Gu Junshen was already sitting on the dragon throne, the main seat, and was looking at Nanxiang who was walking slowly towards him with lotus steps with a smile on his face.

"My beloved concubine looks like a fairy today!"

Gu Junshen looked at Nan Xiang, whose face was like a lotus, eyebrows like willows, and eyes more charming than peach blossoms. He could not take his eyes away and did not blink.

"I am here to see the Emperor."

Nan Xiang came in front of Gu Junshen, squatted slightly and bowed respectfully.

"My beloved concubine is exempt from the gift."

"Your Majesty, how strange it is to make fun of me!"

Nanxiang chuckled, and the dimples on the corners of her mouth bloomed like lotus flowers.

"I am telling the truth."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xiang immediately covered her mouth and laughed, then sat next to Gu Junshen.

"I wonder how many sisters the Emperor plans to choose today?"

"decide as things go."

Gu Junshen spoke casually, as if he didn't care at all about the palace selection, and his eyes kept moving on Nan Xiang's face.

Nan Xiang was also extremely helpless when she saw this, because she had ignored the other person for almost two years.

It’s not Nanxiang’s fault, it’s just that stretch marks are too difficult to get rid of.

"Your Majesty. The palace selection is about to begin. I hope Your Majesty will consider the overall situation."

After listening to Nan Xiang's words, Gu Junshen turned his gaze to the several beauties standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Several beauties spoke in unison, with a rhythmic rhythm.

Nanxiang looked at the pretty girl in front of her with a timid look on her face, and couldn't help but think of herself when she was selected for the palace four years ago, and she was also so frightened.

"The daughter of the Marquis of Lin'an, Qin Liyao! She's sixteen years old!"
