Chapter 148 What does the emperor think?
Gu Wei looked at Qin Rouyu with a burning gaze, her eyes full of admiration, "As expected of the daughter of the Taifu family, she is from a family of scholars. She dances well and paints even better."
Gu Weiguang’s praise for Qin Rouyu was not enough, he turned around and looked at Defei and praised her, “Defei, your cousin is amazing.”
Concubine De looked at the burning light in Gu Wei's eyes but couldn't smile. She glanced at Qin Rouyu gloomily, "Rou'er's painting skills are still very immature. She doesn't deserve such praise from the emperor."
Damn bitch, let her choose the Princess of Qin, but she has her eyes on the Emperor, dancing ink dance, painting vast rivers and mountains, it is obvious that she is aiming for the ancient curtain.
She was kind enough to help pave the way for her, but she started to think about her man.
"One of you sisters is highly accomplished in calligraphy, and the other is good at painting. Both of you are from famous schools. You are both great."
Concubine De smiled at the ancient curtain and said nothing more.
Gu Wei didn't care about Concubine De's thoughts. She looked at Qin Rouyu and waved her hand, "You dance well, and you paint well. There will be a big reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Rouyu twisted her waist and bowed towards Gu Wei to express her gratitude.
When she bowed and walked away, revealing her snow-white neck, Gu Wei's heart was instantly moved, and his eyes looking at her became even hotter.
The Imperial Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine, and the Virtuous Concubine beside her all looked unhappy when they saw Gu Wei's behavior.
Who is this selection of concubine for?
Before Gulin could react, he chose himself first.
However, although they were angry, they still felt a little gloating when they saw Concubine De's face, which was stinkier than shit.
If Qin Rouyu really entered the palace, Concubine De would probably smile less in the future. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and they are naturally happy to see it.
Gu Wei had not forgotten Gu Lin. "Uncle, Miss Qin is well-educated, well-mannered, talented and beautiful. What do you think, Uncle?"
Although Gu Wei thinks Qin Rouyu is good, if Gu Lin also likes her, he will definitely choose to send her to the Prince Qin's Mansion first.
Gulin raised his eyelids, his expression lazy as if he had just woken up. "Well-educated and well-mannered? Talented and beautiful? Aren't all the girls here like this? Does that mean I'm going to like them all?"
Gulin's words made all the ladies present full of anticipation.
Firstly, Qin Rouyu's performance just now was really amazing, and they were really afraid that Gulin would choose Qin Rouyu. Now it seems that Gulin is not interested in Qin Rouyu, so they all still have a chance.
Secondly, Gulin's words were also a compliment to them. Everyone said that Gulin was cold and taciturn, and it was rare for him to praise them like this. How could everyone not be happy?
Gu Wei was left speechless by Gulin's retort.
Qin Rouyu's performance was obviously wonderful, but Gulin, perhaps because he was blind, didn't even know how to appreciate it.
I don’t know what kind of woman to look for?
Gu Wei was not discouraged. He glanced at the noble ladies under his eyes and said directly, "Miss Qin, you have worked hard. Go and have a good rest."
Qin Rouyu retreated somewhat embarrassedly.
Lin Yue stood up with a smile and bowed to Gu Wei and Gu Lin, "Your Highness, I would like to play a song for the Emperor and His Highness the Prince of Qin."
Lin Yue's behavior made Concubine Shu very satisfied.
At least it can be seen that her target is the Princess of Qin, not the Emperor.
"Let's get started." Gu Wei was also optimistic about Lin Yue. After all, Concubine Shu was thoughtful and smart. If her sister was the same as Concubine Shu, she would definitely be the perfect spy.
Lin Yue sat down holding her guqin, and as her ten fingers moved, melodious sounds poured out.
The soft and melodious piano music seems to be telling the girl's inner thoughts, making people intoxicated.
Even someone like Jiang Xiyu, who didn't know much about the piano, was gradually moved by the sound of the piano.
While playing the piano, Lin Yue looked at Gulin from time to time, her eyes full of love, and even outsiders could sense something.
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows. It turned out that this Miss Lin was in love with Gulin.
However, Gulin is so beautiful that people in Kyoto who admire it can line up from outside the city to the imperial city. It is not surprising that Lin Yue admires Gulin.
After Xu Rong met Gulin once before, she was like crazy and wanted to get close to Gulin. She even forgot her original idea of entering the palace as a concubine or queen. This shows how great Gulin's charm is.
At this moment, not only Jiang Xiyu heard something, but anyone who was not stupid could hear it.
Everyone looked at Gulin, wanting to see his reaction, but they saw that he was drinking peach blossom milk soup, as if he was savoring the most delicious food in the world. He didn't pay attention to Lin Yue's piano playing, nor did he receive her secret glances.
The ladies seemed to be gloating.
Jiang Xiyu thought Gulin liked to drink peach blossom milk soup, and secretly praised Gulin for his taste.
Peach blossom milk soup is really delicious.
Perhaps because she never received a response from Gulin, Lin Yue's piano playing became increasingly sad.
Finally, after the song ended, Lin Yue stopped singing sadly, stood up and bowed towards Gu Lin, but did not dare to look at Gu Lin again.
Gu Wei also understood Lin Yue's intentions. She looked at Gu Lin and saw that he still seemed to have no interest in Lin Yue. She sighed and said, "Miss Lin's piano music is melodious, but a little too sad. However, the performance is good, and there will be a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Yue really didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he bowed towards the ancient curtain and retreated on the pretext of feeling unwell.
This time, Gu Wei knew without asking that Gulin had no interest in Lin Yue, so she let other noble ladies perform again.
The noble ladies came on stage one after another. With the experience of Lin Yue as a lesson, even if some of the noble ladies behind them admired Gulin, they would not dare to show it so obviously.
The noble ladies who followed him recited poems and painted, played the piano and the flute, and of course danced, but no matter what they performed, Gulin seemed to have little interest. Even the various snacks and desserts on the table interested him more than the noble ladies in front of him.
Seeing that Gulin's mind was not on these noble ladies, Gu Wei frowned and asked, "The noble ladies have finished their performances. Does the emperor have any noble ladies he likes?"
"No."
Gulin's answer was so straightforward that Guwei's face froze.
He didn't expect Gulin to be so disrespectful to him. If Gulin wasn't his elder, he would have kicked him out long ago.
He is almost thirty years old, but still doesn't want to get married. What is he thinking about all day long?
Damn, has he always been thinking about stealing his throne?
Seeing that Gu Wei's face was becoming more and more ugly and the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Concubine Shu hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Perhaps this is the first time the Emperor has seen these ladies, so naturally he can't have feelings for them right away. Why don't we play some tricks together? Once the Emperor has gotten to know the ladies, perhaps he'll be able to choose the one he likes to be his princess."
Gu Wei glanced at Gu Lin with a sullen face, "What do you think, uncle?"
Gulin shook the half-cup of tea in his cup, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing that he ignored him, Gu Wei's face became even uglier.
