"Alas, I don't know which people will be lucky enough to enter the palace in this draft!"

"yes, I don't know if the eldest lady will be chosen!"

"If, I mean if, if the eldest lady is elected to the palace, then she will not become the emperor's concubine!"

"Fool, how can you be a concubine once you enter the palace!"

A group of little girls in Wenlan Academy were chattering about Jiang Mingmei who participated in the lotus banquet, and they were all speculating whether Jiang Mingmei would be selected for the harem.

Jiang Mingting, who left Wenlan Academy, did not lower the anger in her heart with leaving, but the more she thought about it when she was alone, the more she felt aggrieved.

Jiang Mingting thinks that she grew up in the capital since she was a child, and she is by no means comparable to most of the dirt buns in Wenlan Academy from small places.

Those little girls didn't know that the officials of the four grades in the capital all had posts sent by the royal family, and a post could send a girl into the palace.

And her father is a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, and it stands to reason that they can get a post from the Weiyuan Houfu.

And now that Jiang Mingmei has entered the palace, she has participated in the lotus banquet of the queen's mother, but she is still in the mansion at the moment, and she has not received any news.

So, what is going on in this, she can think of it.

"Mother!"

Jiang Mingting had a certain idea in her heart, and immediately rushed to the third lady Jiang Lin's Zhengqin Hall.

As soon as she rushed into the courtyard, she rubbed her eyes and cried out with grievances.

"Ting'er, what's wrong?"

The third lady, Jiang Lin, had just arranged the affairs of the inner courtyard, and only came back to rest for a while, when she heard her daughter's voice, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her daughter crying in front of her, and said suspiciously: "Who bullied you?" ”

"Mother, why did Jiang Mingmei go to the Queen's Lotus Banquet?"

Jiang Mingting was not angry in her heart, and she even said "big sister"

I didn't want to shout, so I only asked my mother Jiang Mingmei if she used the post of Weiyuan Houfu to enter the palace.

The third lady Jiang Lin saw her daughter's angry appearance, and she was a little surprised in her heart, her daughter she naturally understood, and comforted her with kind words: "Ting'er, you are still young, we have a post in our house, if Jiang Mingmei is unwilling to enter the palace, it will be a waste." ”

"I don't care, I don't care, even if it's a waste, I don't want Jiang Mingmei to go!"

Although there was not much sisterhood between Jiang Mingting and Jiang Mingmei, there was no deep contradiction.

At this time, the reason why Jiang Mingting was so disgusted with Jiang Mingmei was because Jiang Mingmei secretly went to Princess Zhennan's flower viewing banquet last time.

Compared with the lotus banquet, it was held for the purpose of the draft.

The flower viewing banquet of Princess Zhennan is a good opportunity for the daughter of a famous boudoir to practice her skills at home and then become famous in one fell swoop.

Although the daughter of a famous family was originally high, she has been a wealthy family since she was a child, and she will marry into a family with the right family in the future and become the head of the house.

However, life in the boudoir is inherently boring, and the marriage of a famous daughter is a combination of interests.

If you can make a name for yourself in this capital, satisfying the vanity of young girls is one thing, and having more choices in marriage is also a personal benefit.

Another point, the lotus banquet of the queen's mother, as long as it is the home of the four-grade official, can send women to participate, even if it is the daughter of the official family outside the capital, she will enter Beijing in advance.

And Princess Zhennan's flower-viewing banquet is not so simple.

To be able to participate in the flower viewing banquet of Princess Zhennan, you must have received a post written by Princess Zhennan in the past dynasties.

Moreover, the daughters of the boudoir invited by Princess Zhennan are all from famous families in the capital.

People who live in the same capital, if they can't receive the post of Princess Zhennan, it will naturally make people understand that no matter how rich or expensive these people are, they are not a real family.

And Weiyuan Houfu was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country ten years ago, although now the case has been successfully overturned, the crime has been cleared, and the knighthood has also been successfully reinstated.

But today's Weiyuan Houfu is not conspicuous in this capital, and naturally it is not a real family, which is the reason why Weiyuan Houfu failed to receive the post of Princess Zhennan in the first place.

If Jiang Mingmei hadn't used the external power of the Zhenguo Houfu to participate in the flower viewing banquet of Princess Zhennan, her participation in the lotus banquet this time would not make Jiang Mingting so disgusted.

In Jiang Mingting's cognition, the current Weiyuan Hou is her father, and she is the real Houfu concubine.

Although Jiang Mingmei is the daughter of the long house, because she is one year older, she occupies the title of the eldest lady in the house.

But Jiang Mingmei can't represent her identity as the concubine of the house, let alone steal her brilliance everywhere.

"Alright, Ting'er!"

After the third lady Jiang Lin let out the anger in her heart by her daughter, she comforted her with good words, "Although Jiang Mingmei went to participate in the lotus banquet, whether she can be favored by the emperor or not, it is not certain!" ”

When the third lady Jiang Lin began to hear her master talk about her niece Jiang Mingmei's request to take the post of entering the palace, she also had a similar reaction to Jiang Mingting, and felt that she could not give Changfang such an honor no matter what.

But seeing that her master had already promised the post, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to pretend to be virtuous and not refute it.

At the same time, because Jiang Mingmei's marriage to the Qin family was blown because of Jiang Mingbo's matter, she was secretly happy in her heart.

"However, if she is taken by the emperor and really selected to the palace, what can she do?"

Jiang Mingting's anger slowly extinguished, and she felt that there was some truth in listening to the words of the third lady Jiang Lin.

But when I thought about it again, my heart churned again.

Thinking that Jiang Mingmei really entered the palace, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Silly girl!"

The third lady, Jiang Lin, listened to her daughter's words, looked at her already calmed appearance, gently stroked her hair, and smiled gently, "Even if Jiang Mingmei really enters the palace, who can guarantee that she will be favored?" If you are not favored, what can you do even if you are in the palace? ”

The third lady, Jiang Lin, looked at her daughter lovingly, thinking of her own daughter and son, she put it together, and there was no concubine and concubine under her, and now she is a dignified Mrs. Hou, who is full of ambition.

As for Jiang Mingmei's little girl, she had already thought through it when she suppressed her anger quietly.

If Jiang Mingmei can enter the palace and get the emperor's favor, what harm will it do to her?

On the contrary, Jiang Mingmei is from Weiyuan Houfu, if she is favored, Weiyuan Houfu will follow her.

As for Jiang Mingbo, he was sent to the army, although he saved his life, but with the life he carried, it was impossible for him to inherit the title of Houfu again.

As for the long house, although there is still a seedling, it is not a climate in the end, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"But if Jiang Mingmei enters the palace and gets favored, what can I do?"

Jiang Mingting was not so easy to dismiss, she was a little impatient, stomped her feet, and said eagerly: "Is it possible that I will have to succumb to her in the future?" ”

"Silly boy!"

The third lady, Jiang Lin, listened to her daughter's words, slapped her lightly on the head, and continued: "No matter how much she is favored, is it possible that she can surpass the queen's mother?" sat on the concubine seat to death, but with the queen pressing on her head, she was just a concubine no matter how favored she was! ”

The third lady, Jiang Lin, believes in Empress Huixian's original sentence "A concubine is not a concubine"

Words.

Moreover, she has been married to the Jiang family for many years, and she has always been an upright lady, so she naturally knows the benefits of marrying into a proper family.

Seeing that her daughter was upset because of Jiang Mingmei, the third lady Jiang Lin left her daughter to eat with her, and taught Jiang Mingting well.

After some kind words and reassurance, looking at her daughter's enlightened appearance, the third lady Jiang Lin looked satisfied, took her daughter's hand again, and said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, the little people in the palm of my mother's hand have grown up, Ting'er rest assured, my mother will definitely find you a satisfactory husband in the future." ”

"Mother, you laugh at your daughter!"

When Jiang Mingting heard her mother's words, she blushed shyly, but she couldn't help but imagine that she would marry in the future.

"Huh!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other happily and laughed, and then had lunch together.

Jiang Mingting was tired of being by her mother's side again, and she didn't go to Wenlan Academy again.

When he first arrived in Shen, there was a knock on the door of Weiyuan Houfu, and after the door was opened, the porter did not dare to slack off when he received the news, and quickly ordered someone to report to the inner courtyard.

"Madam, Madam...... there is a holy decree in the palace!"

The third lady, Jiang Lin, was still talking to Jiang Mingting, and a hurried girl ran in from outside, and Jiang Lin and Jiang Mingting both recognized her as the big girl Qingyan.

"The Divine Decree ......"

As soon as Jiang Lin heard the word holy decree, he already understood in his heart, although he was a little unwilling and stunned for a short time, he still shouted neatly: "Quick, let people prepare incense and prepare to receive the holy decree!" ”

"Mother......!"

Jiang Mingting's mood had been enlightened, but after hearing the news of the holy decree, she was disrupted again, she watched her mother order in a little panic, and the girls in the room panicked, and she was unconsciously left out in the cold, her eyes couldn't help but be full of tears, and she cried aggrievedly.

"Mother Lin, bring the second miss back!"

Jiang Lin saw the tears in his daughter's eyes, and secretly said bad in his heart.

At this time, she didn't have time to appease her daughter, so she had to quickly call Mother Lin beside her to take Jiang Mingting down and prevent her from going out to receive the holy decree together, so as not to get out of the way and cause trouble.
