After the New Year, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to hold the draft.

The Queen Mother decreed that all families of officials above the sixth grade, women who have reached the age of thirteen and have not yet decided on a marriage must participate in the draft.

The Queen Mother looked at the list sorted out by the queen: "Isn't there a woman in the Shengping Marquis Mansion who is old enough to participate in this draft in addition to the county lord of Rui'an?" Why is there no name on the list?"

"After returning to her mother, the second daughter of Shengping Hou, since she was a child, she has verbally set up a baby with her deceased friend, and when the woman reaches the age of fifteen and the princess, if the man still does not come to propose, she can discuss the marriage again. The queen said what Xiao'er had told her.

"That's it, that's a pity, it's not bad for that kid to look at it. With the current status of Shengping Hou, it is also okay for his daughter to marry the son, but because she has set up a family since she was a child, she has to marry low, which is a pity, and the Queen Mother has some sympathy for Yun'er!

But because of this, she glanced at Shengping Hou, and did not regret the family affairs she had set when she was poor because she was rich.

The draft is in full swing, and the queen is also closely cooperating with the queen mother.

In the competition of one woman after another, the Queen Mother finally added ten show girls to the emperor to stay in the palace.

The queen mother and the queen discussed together, and by the way, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince also elected the concubine.

The second prince, Shangguan Xuanhao, was determined to be Ruan Weizhen, the daughter of Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

The third prince is Li Mingfang, the daughter of General Li.

The fourth prince is the granddaughter of the emperor, Gu Qiqi.

The matter of choosing a concubine was decided according to the opinions of several princes.

Li Mingfang withdrew from her family, and the Queen Mother didn't like it, but the third prince liked it, so she agreed, and it was also difficult to think of this grandson who was not the emperor's heart.

Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river, after a cold winter, finally returned to the earth in spring.

After the end of the draft, we ushered in February 2 - Dragon Raising Day.

The people of the folk make dragon scale cakes more, wrap dragon teeth (wonton) to eat, and on this day, the people will also get a haircut, that is, shave the dragon's head, which means that the year has a good start.

The palace will hold a "picking vegetables" royal banquet activity.

Officials and family members of the fourth grade or above are eligible to participate.

For this "picking vegetables" royal banquet activity, Shen Chengyao and the people from the Ministry of Rites worked together for a while.

In the imperial garden, there are many flower shelves, and some small plants are placed on the flower shelves, and all kinds of fresh vegetables are planted in the small flowers, such as lettuce, spinach, and rape that have grown two or three leaves...... And peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, and so on, which are half a finger high.

The dendrob is beautifully designed, and the vegetables planted on it are fresh and fresh.

The name of each vegetable is written on the silk silk and pressed under the Hu for everyone to guess.

The places where men and women "pick vegetables" are separated by screens, and the emperor and queen will have rewards and punishments according to the results of guessing.

The Queen Mother looked at the scene of "picking vegetables" this time with a bit of idyllic decoration, which shocked her overworked body because of the overworked draft during this time.

"This is the first time the mourning family has seen such a poetic 'picking' banquet for so many years. Today's imperial garden is also extremely pleasing to the eye, and when the flowers are blooming, it will not make people feel dazzled! ”

"The concubines don't have such skills, these are all things I asked the county lord of Rui'an to help me come up with ideas. Not only that, this year's silk silk is not directly written the name of the vegetable, but written some riddles, if anyone looks at the vegetables on the small Hu can't guess what the dish is, you can also guess the riddle, if you can't even guess the riddle, then you really have to be punished!"

"Oh, Lord Rui'an is really versatile. The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.

"The county lord of Rui'an is indeed ingenious, and the courtiers have the privilege of visiting the garden of the Shengping Marquis Mansion, which is simply picturesque everywhere!

"Yes, yes, yes, they are obviously ordinary flowers and plants, but they can be elegant and warm, which makes people feel unordinary when they look at them. ”

"When you say this, the mourning family wants to see it for themselves. ”

Mrs. Li heard the Queen Mother's words and said: "Where do you need the Queen Mother to go to the Shengping Marquis Mansion in person, and let the county lord of Rui'an come to the palace to arrange the imperial garden!"

As soon as Mrs. Li's words came out, the audience fell silent, and no one answered her words, not even the Queen Mother.

Let a county lord decorate the imperial garden?

Seeing that no one paid attention to her words, Mrs. Li continued: "What do you think, Lord Rui'an, are you willing to arrange the imperial garden for the Queen Mother?"

Xiao'er smiled: "This is naturally willing, but I am still young, I don't have much strength, and I can't do a lot of heavy work, otherwise, I will draw the design of the imperial garden layout, how about Mrs. Li to arrange it?" Mrs. Li is the lady in charge of the family, and she once went out with her husband, and her strength must be greater than that of the main county, how about it, Mrs. Li is willing?"

The ladies and ladies present: The county lord of Rui'an is really not a lord who will suffer.

Drawing a design drawing of the imperial garden, it is also a layout of the imperial garden for the queen mother, and everyone will feel that the county lord of Rui'an is versatile.

Arrange it with your own hands, what is the difference between this and being a gardener! This is what only the minions do! Just now, Mrs. Li just wanted to humiliate the county lord of Rui'an like this, but she didn't expect that the people would take the ball back in a few words, and she had to agree.

A second-class lady ordered her to be a gardener! What kind of face does she have in this circle?

Mrs. Li's face froze, and she quickly smiled: "This is naturally willing." ”

"You all have hearts, the Imperial Garden is very good like this, why bother to change it, it costs the people and money. The Queen Mother opened her mouth to resolve Mrs. Li's embarrassment.

"The Queen Mother is really a role model for women in the world, and she cares about the people of the world. ”

"The queen mother is wise, and the courtiers also think that the imperial garden is beautiful enough, and if it is beautiful, I am afraid that I will not leave in the palace. ”

…… The ladies racked their brains to praise the Queen Mother.

At this time, there were one after another praises and applause from the man's side.

The queen said: "It's all started over there, it sounds very lively, let's start too, the palace can't wait to see who is going to be punished." ”

"We've all done our homework, and we're not going to be punished, right, sisters. Li Mingfang asked the ladies present.

"Yes! Today we are all running to the private treasury of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. ”

"By you saying this, the palace is a little regretful, is it okay to disperse now? The private treasury of the palace still has to leave some dowry for the fifth princess, everyone has to be merciful!" The queen's face was full of remorse.

"Look at your stingy queen, everyone can rest assured that the dowry of the fifth princess is with my imperial grandmother, and she can still marry without a dowry!"
