"Niangniang, what's the matter?" Bai Tan hurriedly picked up the booklet on the ground, and was about to close it and put it back in place, but was startled by the name of Hesheri Ranhua that was impressively remembered.

"Mother, this ...... Isn't this Gege of the Hesheri family over the age of old?" Bai Tan couldn't help but exclaim, "They dare to ignore the rules of the general election!

"It's not just that the emperor is not in Beijing that he dares to be so presumptuous. Zhao Yan sneered coldly. The Hesheri family is so powerful that they can make their own over-aged Gege also stand for selection!

Bai Tan stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the rules of the general election were set by the ancestors, and no one can easily break them." Didn't the Hesheri family dare to be so bold because they had the support of the crown prince? The emperor is not in Beijing now, but the queen mother is still there!"

Yes, now I have to go to the Queen Mother to make the decision.

Zhao Yan picked up the roster of women to be drafted in the Eight Banners, put on a thick pavilion-patterned satin cloak, and went to Cining Palace.

In the early spring, the weather was still a little rough, sitting on the shoulder, the cold wind was coming, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but tighten the cloak on her body.

Cining Palace.

Zhao Yan held the back of Bai Tan's hand and carefully got off her shoulder, but saw that the princess with a big belly was supported by the palace maid, and had just stepped out of the high threshold of Cining Gate.

Zhao Yan frowned.

"Qi Hui said hello to the imperial concubine. The crown princess held her waist and gave Zhao Yan a regular salute.

Zhao Yan looked at the crown princess's belly, which was six or seven months old, bulging, like a watermelon, this big belly, it was already very inconvenient to move, not to mention that Yuqing Palace was quite far away from the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, and it had just snowed.

"Didn't the Queen Mother waive the Crown Princess's invitation a few years ago?" The Queen Mother looked forward to hugging her great-grandson, and naturally she was ready to take pity on the Crown Princess. At this time, the crown princess didn't stay in Yuqing Palace to raise the baby, what did she do when she ran out?

A smile appeared on the princess's face: "It's just that the weather is warm, and I really haven't seen the queen mother for a while, so I came here to ask for peace." ”

I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

However, the crown princess obviously didn't want to say that although Zhao Yan was the imperial concubine, she couldn't force her.

Zhao Yan took a silk handkerchief to cover the corners of her lips, "It's really hard for you to have a heart." With a faint word, Zhao Yan walked leisurely into the Cining Gate.

The crown princess looked at the roster of show girls held by the imperial concubine's personal palace people, and couldn't help sighing, the imperial concubine must hate her, but what can she do, this is the prince's order!

Cining Palace has a continuous Buddha incense all year round, and today the Narui beast smoker is burning with excellent Canaan incense, which smells particularly quiet and peaceful.

The Queen Mother is sitting cross-legged on the Arhat couch, reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao Yan didn't make a sound, just stood quietly aside, and waited for the Queen Mother to finish reciting the Buddha.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and pointed to the chair next to her: "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, the Emperor. Zhao Yan hurriedly saluted, and then sat slightly sideways on your rosewood armchair, "The list of women to be drafted in the Eight Banners, the concubines have already seen it, and because there is something inappropriate, I specially came to report to the Queen Mother." ”

As soon as she said this, Bai Tan bowed down and presented the large stack of beautiful women's roster, rested on the red Ruyi kang table beside the Queen Mother, and then picked up the top one, and was about to unfold it for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said slowly: "You're talking about the daughter of Changtai, the scholar of the Li Fan Academy, right?"

Zhao Yan narrowed the corners of her eyes slightly, and sure enough...... The crown princess is not here to ask for peace.

The Queen Mother muttered: "The mourning family remembers this, the daughter of Changtai is eighteen years old, and it stands to reason that she should not run for election again." ”

Zhao Yan closed the roster, put it back, and said unashamedly: "The emperor's mother is right, the rules of the ancestors have always been like this. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the roster of show girls stacked high, "The mourning family knows that you are unhappy, so you came to complain." ”

Zhao Yan didn't hide it, and lowered her head slightly: "Yes, the emperor's eyes are like torches." When the concubines saw this kind of behavior, their hearts were indeed not happy. ”

"But this thing...... The mourning family has already agreed to the crown princess. The Queen Mother showed a little embarrassment, and her brows were a little deeper.

Zhao Yan frowned, she came here to let the Queen Mother call the shots, or to quietly remove Hesheri Ranhua from the list of candidates, or to put her brand on the palace election, as long as she didn't stay in the palace.

Unexpectedly, the crown princess came one step earlier, and actually said that the queen mother was moved! Also, even if the queen mother does not give face to the crown princess, she has to give the child in her belly some face.

The Queen Mother gently put down the agarwood Buddha beads in her hand, and said slowly: "The crown princess said that the Hesheri family is a character, and it is just to pass the palace selection and learn the rules in the palace for a few months, so it is good to marry a child of the clan." After all, it's eighteen, and it's a bit delayed. ”

Speaking of the word delay, doesn't it refer to the delay that did not refer to marriage in the last draft?

Do you want to blame her?!Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart.

The daughter of Shangshu and the granddaughter of Cheng'en Gong, even if they marry on their own, why worry about not marrying a good man who is the right person? It is because they are not greedy enough, and they actually plan and calculate on her Ah Yan!

What do you mean by the children of the marriage clan! This kind of nonsense, Zhao Yan will not believe it!

Seeing that her face was full of anger, the Queen Mother couldn't help sighing, revealing a little helplessness: "Actually, you don't have to be so angry, the Hesheri family certainly has their plans, but the emperor has to decide the matter of the prince's marriage." Now that you have reconciled with the emperor, when the emperor returns, you can beg the emperor not to mention this marriage!"

Zhao Yan had to admit that the Queen Mother's words made sense. The ultimate power is still in the hands of Kangxi.

The Hesheri family can let their daughter over the age of age run for election, can they still make Kangxi make a decree that the marriage will not be successful? !

"Yes, the emperor said yes. Zhao Yan knew that the Queen Mother would not work here! She had to hide her anger and accompany the Queen Mother to greet her for a while, and then she left Cining Palace.

But Zhao Yan was still angry in her heart after all, and exhaled out of Cining Palace, and did not take the shoulder, but walked back all the way, and hurriedly followed the eunuch with his head in the air.

As soon as he walked to the side of Chuxiu Palace, he heard a woman's delicate voice from the west: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, please stay!"

Zhao Yan stopped, looked sideways, and saw a pot-bellied woman being supported by the palace maid and hurrying over!

Zhao Yan looked vigilant, this Chen family didn't have any good intentions towards her! Zhao Yan naturally guarded tightly, especially her stomach, in case her head bumped into her, it was really yellow mud falling off her crotch, not but!

It's just that Zhao Yan seemed to be thinking too much, Chen promised to walk half a foot away from her, and then stopped, she took a few breaths, and hurriedly curtled her knees and walked a thousand blessings: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang Jin'an." ”

It's another pregnant woman who doesn't raise a baby honestly!

Zhao Yan said with a cold face: "Chen promised to have a big belly, and he didn't stay in Xianfu Palace to raise the fetus, why did he run out?"

Chen promised to squeeze out a humble and gentle smile: "The concubine has discovered a great secret and wants to report to the imperial concubine." ”

This Chen, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
