Chapter 21 Winning or Not Selecting

Hearing this, Liuzhu knew that the emperor was angry. Then he said: What the emperor said is true. The minister just wanted to share the emperor's worries, and he didn't think about anything else.

Mo Xing saw him speak with a serious face, so he smiled and said: Since the Prime Minister said such a thing, I already know it in my heart. Okay, let's bring the portrait, I'll take a look, who is the woman who can be favored by Liuzhu?

Mo Xing took the scroll and unfolded it. Only half of it is rolled open, and the upper body of the person in the painting has already jumped into the eye. When Mo Xing saw it, his expression changed. The person in the painting is actually the woman he saw in the lake sixteen years ago, although it is a virtual shadow, it has long been imprinted in his mind and has never been forgotten. One is unstable, the hands are weightless, the scroll slides, and the whole picture of the beauty is completely presented in front of him. The person in the painting has a graceful posture, a beautiful face, and a sense of cold detachment in his gestures. If you think about it, you really think that only such a woman can be worthy of their emperor.

Although Liuzhu thinks that Qingqing is very beautiful, it has the appearance of a country and a city. But I didn't want the emperor to see him, and he would be so out of shape. This is something that he has not calculated. Unconsciously frowned.

The little guy was late for a while, and quickly picked up the scroll and placed it on the desk. Mo Xing, who came back to his senses, knew that he was out of shape, stabilized his mind, and said: The person who was chosen for the prime minister is really in line with my heart.

Liuzhu Dao: It's good if the emperor likes it. What did the emperor do about the beauty chosen by the adult?

Mo Xingdao: Although these women selected by Master Zhang for me are also beautiful, none of them are in line with my heart. As he spoke, he said to the little servant: You go to Lord Zhang's mansion and spread the word "I have chosen someone" so that he can rest assured.

The little servant got his life, so he hurried out of the palace to pass the decree.

Liuzhu always felt uneasy in his heart, and said: Your Majesty, this Lord Zhang chooses a concubine for you, and there is a beauty among them, I don't know if you have seen it?

Mo Xing asked: Who are you talking about?

Liuzhu Dao: Lord Zhang's daughter, Zhang Yunshu.

Zhang Yunshu, I've heard this name, and I think it was heard when the little guy was guiding him to look at the beauty picture. At that time, although I saw a person who was very beautiful, I didn't think there was anything special about it, so I didn't care. After thinking about it, he said: But there is a picture of the person in those paintings who is extremely beautiful, and I think it is the daughter of Master Zhang. What's wrong with the Prime Minister saying that?

Liuzhu smiled: There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that Lord Zhang is so hard-working, and he doesn't want to make it into the eyes of the emperor if none of the people he chooses can enter the emperor's eyes, so he will be sad to think about it. Besides, I think he even sent his own daughter over, but such intentions are obvious. The emperor ordered the little servant to go to the house to spread the word, and Lord Zhang got the decree, I am afraid that he has already decided in his heart that his daughter was selected. Then I realized that the chosen person was not my daughter, and I was afraid that I would be angry and sad.

After finishing speaking, Mo Xing said with a smile: The Prime Minister is really thorough, and I think he has a seven-trick exquisite heart. No matter what Master Zhang's intentions are, those who already have a heart can't tolerate others. If someone uses bad intentions in the matter of choosing a concubine, and because it is not achieved, he shows the face of the prime minister as he said, it seems that there is no need to stay in the court.

When he said this, Mo Xing's face did not change, and the clouds were light and light. Yu Liuzhu heard that he was also a spirit, bluffing into a cold sweat. Immediately, he retired.

After returning home, Liuzhu ordered someone to go to Ren's house to spread the word, saying that the young lady had been selected, and asked them to prepare quickly, so that they could be edicted to enter the palace at any time. The little maid hurried to Ren's house, entered the house, and passed the word: My lord asked me to speak, saying that the young lady was selected. After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ren and Master Ren happily took two dozen pieces of silver to dot the little guy who passed the word, and then wrapped a few bags of silver, and asked the little guy to send it to the house to express their gratitude.

Besides, that Lord Zhang has been in a very good mood for a few days, just waiting for the emperor's decree. After waiting for a few days, I couldn't speak, so one morning, I invited several ministers to write together: Please ask the emperor to choose a concubine as soon as possible. All I got was the emperor's words of waiting. Although I want to wait for the next court to go to the emperor's study to talk about this, but I am really afraid in my heart, I want to say a few more words to the court, the emperor's face is already bad, if you go to trouble again at this time, I am afraid that my life is in danger. And so it was tormented. Only later, the emperor's attendant came to pass the decree: the emperor has chosen someone. After saying this, Lord Zhang was overjoyed, rewarded the little guy with two silver taels, and said a good word before sending away. That young lady is just like everyone's daughter, she only likes the powerful, and she has long been looking forward to being selected. After getting my father's words, I was so happy that I didn't know where I was.

In Ren's mansion, Master Ren and Mrs. Ren called Qingqing over, and after thinking about it, they thought that Mrs. Qing was Qingqing's biological mother after all, so they also invited her. After everyone sat down, Master Ren looked at Mrs. Qing and said with a smile: Mrs. Qing, after so many years, we have become like family. Qingqing has also entered my Ren family's genealogy, and she is already my Ren Guiping's daughter. As he spoke, he glanced at them, and saw that Mrs. Qing was nodding her head while listening, and Qingqing was also listening carefully, so she said: Now, Qingqing is older and has reached the age of marriage. A few days ago, many neighbors, relatives and friends came to the door to propose relatives, and I saw that they were all laymen, who were worthy of Qingqing, so they all sent away. I think you all know.

Mrs. Qing said: Master Ren thinks about Qingqing like this, we know it. I only hope that in the future, Master Ren can still value Qingqing so much, which is our blessing. And when he spoke, he bowed. Seeing this, Master Ren hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "What are you doing?" As I said just now, Qingqing is my daughter, and it is natural for me to be good to her. And you are her biological mother, your relatives, how can you do such a big gift? As he spoke, a look of anger appeared on his face.

Mrs. Qing knew Master Ren's temperament, so she sat down, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and laughed sadly again, nodding her head and not speaking. When Mrs. Ren saw this, she also smiled and said: You and I are already sisters, why do you want to say such things again? Forget it today, if we do this thing again in the future, we will not be willing. As he spoke, he looked at Master Ren. When Master Ren heard this, he also nodded. Mrs. Qing knew that she had lost her manners, so she said: No more.

At this time, Master Ren returned to his seat and said: Qingqing's husband must be chosen. Two days ago, the prime minister came to the mansion, saw Qingqing, and praised him many times. Then I heard that someone was asking for a marriage, so I said that there was one person who could agree. I asked and found out that it was the Holy One today! If such a good marriage is consummated, it will be the best. So he painted the image and sent it to the palace.

Only then did Qingqing understand the reason why the painter came to paint that day. Thinking of this, I feel unhappy in my heart, that is, her marriage is a major event, how can there be a reason to hide it from her. His face was also gloomy.

And the crowd didn't notice it. Master Ren said again: Within a few days, the Prime Minister replied, saying that the emperor had chosen him. Come to think of it, our daughter will be the dragon and phoenix among people, and she will enjoy all the glory and wealth in her life. As he spoke, he was not very happy, but he was happy to walk in front of him. Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Qing were all happy. Only Qingqing was dull and silent.
