I don't know that after several readings, big and small, in the end, there were only seven or eight people left, and they were taken to a place, and they began to perform their talents according to the words of the grandmothers with bated breath.

Hu Shanxiang's talent is embroidery, there are three people who choose embroidery, she waits with her head down when others embroider, and she doesn't have too much fear in her heart, even if she knows that this time it is the emperor and the concubines of the harem who are watching them. Because the curtain was drawn, they were all behind the curtain, and the inside could not be seen from the outside, only a shadowy shadow. Besides, they have been trained, and they won't look up if they don't look up, and they won't squint and peek.

Hu Shanxiang handed over the embroidery sample of the rhubarb chrysanthemum in his hand, and the other show girls were the same, either white magnolia or five-petal plum, embroidery like peony always took time, and it was impossible to ask the nobles to wait.

After all the performances were over, an old voice behind the curtain said, "What do the Zhang and Wang families think?"

Zhang Guifei said: "They are all beauties, and the concubines are dazzled." ”

Wang Guifei also said: "It's good to see which one of the concubines, it's better for the emperor to decide." ”

After being silent for a while, I heard the emperor say, "What does the crown princess think?"

Hu Shanxiang heard an unhurried voice: "Listen to my father." ”

Hu Shanxiang heard a hint of perfunctory meaning from this tone, because this voice was not like the hesitant wording of the two concubines before, it was more like saying kind words, but wasn't this choosing a concubine for the crown princess's son and choosing a daughter-in-law for the crown princess?

In the homes of ordinary people, marrying a woman is a big deal, and the most important thing is the mother-in-law's mind, if the mother-in-law is not satisfied, the marriage will be full of twists and turns, even if you marry home, it will not be a happy end. Among the mothers-in-law in this world, which one of them doesn't stand up their eyelids and carefully select and look at them thousands of times?

It seems that the emperor is also very dissatisfied with the crown princess's perfunctory, "You are the mother of the crown princess, don't you refer to it for him?"

The crown princess said: "The daughter-in-law has also been looking at it for a long time, and it was hard to recognize the person just now, but when it is messed up, it will be difficult to distinguish it again." In short, they all have thin eyebrows and small eyes, and their height is about the same, and they don't know how this time they can have a good heart, and they can select such similar people in the thirteen provinces of the country. ”

The appearance of this year's show girls is decent, there were a few outstanding ones, but they were brushed off, and the ones that remained were selected after a round of selection, and it seems that the standards are becoming more and more concentrated, and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is too high. The protruding cheekbones are all husband-grabbing power, Lantai is thin and not prosperous, the atrium is sunken and the luck is not good, the ears are turned out and said to be angry, and the goose egg face and small chin are also said to be inappropriate, but it seems that they have learned physiognomy with Yuan Hui, and finally pick and choose the remaining ones, all of them are packed and said to be Wangfu Yizi, and Zhang Zhaohua is called to look at it, there are fifty percent of similarities, all of them are thin eyebrows, long eyes, big round faces, square lips, and if you lower your head and don't look at the eyeballs, it is really difficult to distinguish who is who.

When did this draft become a matchmaking conference, I remember Zhang Zhaohua's draft, Zhang Zhaohua had forty teeth, which was said to be a rare noble appearance, but it was just an old woman who mentioned it and was not noticed at all. At that time, when I looked at people, I saw that your demeanor was not upright, your eyes were not clear, your demeanor was modest or not, and your temperament was supple or not.

When Qin Tian supervised the star in Jishui, the girl in Shandong seemed to be worth a lot, which was left to the last seven or eight people, four of them were from Shandong, and among the four, three of them came out of the so-called "noble signs", one said that when the girl was born, her father and mother dreamed of the moon, one said that the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed, and the other said that the high-rise building where the girl lived alone had a red and white atmosphere, and the villagers saw it.

It seemed that everyone felt such an inexplicable atmosphere, but the crown princess suddenly said: "The woman is kind." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "This is exactly what I intended to choose a concubine for the crown grandson. You all say—"

The crown princess repeated again: "The woman is virtuous." ”

Everyone else didn't know what it meant, but Hu Shanxiang's heart jumped. She remembered that these were the words in "Internal Training", and the book "Internal Training" had already made her memorize it well.

Finally, there was a timid echo in the hall: "The woman is virtuous, docile, chaste, gentle, and respectful." Be happy with peace, no perverseness, be magnanimous, have no jealousy, be merciful, not be cruel, be upright and upright, and never transgress, only take the lead in training, and have no disobedience. ”

There was a pause behind the curtain and he added, "The woman is married." ”

Hu Shanxiang seemed to see the eldest sister's expectant and excited red face, her mind swayed for a moment, and then she said gently: "The woman is married, and she is filial to her aunt." Aunts and uncles are close to their parents and respect heaven and earth. Those who do good deeds are saluting, paying tribute is strict, and in love, loving is smooth. Concentrate wholeheartedly, don't dare to be lazy, this filial piety is also a big festival, clothes and diet are secondary. ”

Hu Shanxiang obviously felt that the crown princess's figure leaned forward a little, and she ordered: "Remove the curtain." ”

The focused gaze has been on Hu Shanxiang's body, "A woman's trip." ”

Hu Shanxiang answered smoothly: "A woman's trip is more expensive than leniency, and evil is more than jealousy." The moon and stars are beautiful, how can they be hidden in the last light? ”

"Good. The crown princess said: "Are you from Jining?"

Hu Shanxiang said: "Yes." ”

"Where is Jining?" the crown princess said: "Did the military disaster last year affect it?"

"The people's daughter's house is on the outskirts of Jining," Hu Shanxiang said, "When the war was in trouble, they all hid in the city and were spared from being affected." ”

Hu Shanxiang was the first to be selected, and she was taken to the side hall by the female official with a golden jade arm tied to her arm. After a while, two more came in, namely the He family in Daxing and the Zhao family in Lin'an.

In the hall at this time, Zhang Zhaohua said: "The daughter-in-law invited the grandmother to teach the show girl the "Internal Training", and invited the cabinet Bachelor Yang to make a direct explanation, and wanted to promulgate the "Internal Training" to the world, perpetuate the law for eternity, and expand the virtue of the queen and the queen mother. ”

The Emperor seemed to be caught up in a kind of memory, but sighed.

Wang Guifei's eyes were hot and sour, "The concubine thinks that the Jining Hu family is dignified and sincere, and has good morality, which is enough to match the grandson." ”

The next day, Hu Shanxiang was named the princess. The He family was named the Taisun Jieyu, and the Zhao family was named the Taisun Zhaoyi. The position of the grandson concubine was given to the Sun family, who was originally from Zouping, and it is said that this one is the sweetheart of the grandson's childhood sweetheart, and has been raised in the East Palace for many years, but the emperor looks down on her and refuses to set her up, so there is this election.
