In the Yutang Palace, the banquet has not yet started, and the main palace room is already very lively.

Hui Zhi went not early or late, and when she entered the palace gate, Concubine Shu was talking and laughing with Hua Concubine, and the eldest princess of Xinglong arrived early, and was telling Hua Concubine with a loving face: "The weather is hotter, but you don't dare to use ice, so that the girls are more attentive, the fan is more diligent, and there are more green leaves in the house, and it is refreshing to look at." ”

Hua Concubine smiled gently, and said something that made the eldest princess of Xinglong laugh happily, and Concubine Shu also echoed beside her, smiling and smiling.

There were two or three palace concubines sitting in the hall who were not very high-ranking in dress, and three young and unfamiliar faces that had rarely been seen, each sitting together in a low voice, and when Hui Zhi walked over, the girls all got up and saluted her with a timidly expression, and followed by a female official sent by a lady concubine to pick her up at the palace gate to lead the way, and saw her eyes turn on the faces of the three girls, so she opened her mouth to explain their origins, "Wearing a willow green jacket is Zhang Yi, the niece of Zhang Xu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, The other two girls are the two girls of the Cheng Jiang family in Taichang Temple, one is a concubine, and the other is a concubine. Hearing this, Hui Zhi couldn't help but turn her head to look at the female official, she looked a little older, her facial features were upright, and her voice was very low, seeing Hui Zhi turning her head to look at her, she just responded calmly, and then bowed her head respectfully.

Hui Zhi couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth slightly, there is no one in the palace who is not a human spirit.

Taichang Temple Cheng is just a six-grade official.

One of the two girls is like a spring flower, the other is like an autumn moon, each has its own merits, both are extremely beautiful, looking at their age and figure, they are about to be in time, but because of their origins, they can't help but act a little restrained and cowardly.

If it's just a beauty pageant......

Zhang Yi and the two Jiang family girls had already seen her enter the door, and they probably heard the voice of Tongyu, and they all got up and blessed her.

Hui Zhi nodded lightly at the girls of the Zhang family, returned a faint smile to the two Jiang girls, and then turned her head and continued to walk forward, ready to come forward and salute.

If the girl of the Zhang family is the daughter of Zhang Xu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, with the current identity of the filial piety king, she may also be selected as the princess of filial piety, not to mention that Zhang Xuming is the person of King Mu, but he is indeed the person of filial piety in private. It's a pity that although Zhang Xu has already passed the age of establishment, he only has one concubine under his knees, but he is seven or eight years old, and his niece may be rarely elected. As for the two girls of the Jiang family, if they only choose beauty, they are naturally such ordinary official girls, which are more suitable, and the position of the prince's side concubine is probably higher for them, and if it is a concubine of six or seven grades, I am afraid it will be more appropriate. was thinking about it, only to hear a voice interrupt her thoughts, "This lily brew is very refreshing, I rewarded the three girls in the seat, and the palace looked at the color rules, all of them were good." ”

Concubine Shu's eyebrows were faint, as if she had just said something that was not light or serious. The girl of the Jiang family did not say which girl it was, and the palace people below naturally rewarded both of them.

And the two girls accepted the reward and were overjoyed.

Hui Zhi looked at it thoughtfully.

Isn't the color rule a requirement for the prince to choose a side concubine? Zhang Yi is the daughter of the waiter's family in the Ministry of Works, and her status is not bad, not to mention that the Ministry of Works is so important among the six departments, if Concubine Shu knows Zhang Xu's identity, she will not include Zhang Yu in the list of concubines selected for the prince.

It's about a pretense that he belongs to the two beauties of the Jiang family.

However, she immediately stepped forward and respectfully saluted the three people on the main seat, and before the salute was over, she was naturally persuaded by Concubine Shu. There were some more people in the palace gate, and the concubine got up and went to instruct the female official.

The eldest princess of Xinglong looked at Hui Zhi with a smile, her eyes were loving, and Hui Zhi blushed a little embarrassed.

"You've been around for a few days now, but there's any news?"

Hui Zhi's face suddenly turned red like a cooked shrimp, the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess both knew that they had a round room with Pei Gu after she was married, and now it was only ten days, but looking at the appearance of the eldest princess of Xinglong, it was clear that Pei Gu could not wait for her and Xuan.

However, this is also easy to guess, after all, Pei Guming was ordered by the emperor to "reflect behind closed doors" on his face. It's just that she is still thin-skinned after all, and after thinking about the little days that have just passed, she only said softly: "No." ”

The eldest princess of Xinglong nodded lightly, not surprised, "You two are still young, and you are not in a hurry - how is Pei Xiaozi's injury recovering?" I heard that it is a bit strict. ”

Hui Zhi frowned, her eyes were a little red, and she took the hand of the eldest princess of Xinglong: "...... Didn't you see that the long opening on the shoulder, you don't dare to move, the wound will break open as soon as you move, and finally the scab will form on the side, and the weather is so hot, it's really strange to toss people. ”

But after all, this is a palace banquet, and these words passed by, but the palace people who should have seen it also saw Mrs. Wuwei Hou Shizi mentioning the injury of the prince, with a bitter face, and almost cried.

When people are in a high position, they often attract the eyes and scrutiny of others. Hui Zhi has a noble status both before and after marriage, and she does not often walk around in Beijing, and the people she knows are a little few, and the unmarried girls and low-level palace concubines who are staggered in the hall or standing and talking, or sitting down to drink tea, all look at her with some curiosity after seeing her in threes and threes.

Jiang Qiniang's pair of apricot eyes have been tightly glued to her body since Hui Zhi entered the Yutang Palace, and she whispered to Jiang Shiyi Niang for a while: "Look, the ladies next to her look a little dull according to the makeup, and she wears the red gold wire armor so slender, no wonder I heard that Wuwei Hou Shizi is very kind to her baby!" ”

After a while, I saw the eldest princess Xinglong's loving and caring appearance for Huizhi, and couldn't help but smack my tongue: "That's the eldest princess!" The emperor's aunt! What a noble man! is so loving and caring for her, even if the eldest princess can look at me more, it is also a great gift! ”

Jiang Shiyi Niang is a girl from the concubine, not as bold as Qi Niang, so she had to tug on her sleeve and whispered: "Seventh Sister should also know that it is a noble person who is high, we are just the family members of the Sixth Rank Official, which one of the houses is not more valuable than our identity?" ”

Jiang Qiniang glanced at her, leaned closer and whispered to her, "You are unproductive!" Grandmother begged for a low voice to Mrs. Zhang, and even gave the heirloom jade carving to Mrs. Zhang, isn't it just for our sisters to ask for a future? ”

Jiang Shiniang nodded. The sending of the son Guanyin is carved of mutton fat jade, the size of the palm, although it does not look very valuable in the home of the powerful, but the important thing is that it is extremely effective - the son of the ancestor is not abundant, and the three or four generations are the only seedlings in the past, married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a child, Lao Tzu either died of illness or died in an accident, the old lady is a widow, after marrying the grandmother, he made a way to invite a statue of Guanyin from the mirror temple. Since inviting Guanyin, the grandmother hugged the two for three years, and when the family married a woman and a woman, she went to Mingjing Temple to invite two more, and spent money to repair the family temple and make careful offerings. Since then, the Jiang family has flourished, with five ancestors and brothers, and more than ten uncles under the five doors. (To be continued.) )
