Sure enough, not long after returning to the wing, I received the news that I would immediately return to the Taishi's Mansion, Ruoshui was not surprised at all, the Taishi came in person, and the old lady would definitely go back, that is, she was angry with the unruly lady, and took the opportunity to give the Taishi lady a dismount, how could she really go back to Yunzhou angrily.

In other words, the formation of picking up the old lady is really not small, although the team is not too grand, but almost all the characters in the house who have a weight point are here, and they follow the sedan chair in front, and they are really beautiful.

Taishifu is luxurious and extravagant, every grass and tree is a treasure, every brick and stone is of the highest grade, I don't know how many times more high-profile than the elegance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but such a high-profile makes people feel a little gaudy.

Qingfang Courtyard is a courtyard prepared by Mrs. Taishi for their four girls alone, although it is not as good as the wing room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is also good in the Taishi Mansion, and they can be regarded as the blessing of the old lady.

It is said that Mrs. Taishi put all the blame on the girl, and she had already called the human tooth to sell, and the young lady was just blamed, in this regard, Ruoshui had to sigh secretly, girls like them, they don't dare to worry about good things, and they have to be ready to take responsibility for the master at any time, which is really sad, but that girl is indeed arrogant.

I just got the communication of the little girl, saying that the old lady was looking for it, Ruoshui didn't dare to delay, and walked out of the yard to the old lady's Fu Lin Ju, in order to facilitate the old lady's service, so Qingfang Courtyard and Fu Lin Ju were a few steps away, but a moment of hard work arrived, the little girl who was guarding the yard saw Ruo Shui, and immediately smiled.

"If the water girl is here, the old lady is in the back room."

"Hmm"

Ruoshui nodded gently to her.

In order to express her respect for the old lady, Xiao Si, the girl in this house, called her and Xiao Qian, Zilan, and Ah Ru girls, in order to show that she was superior to other subordinates.

Ruoshui entered the room, and saw the old lady sitting on the coffee table with her eyes closed, leisurely playing with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and heard the footsteps, so she opened her eyes and showed a kind smile to Ruoshui.

"Say hello to the old lady."

The old lady made a gesture to get up and said in a doting tone.

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so formal."

"Yes, Old Madam Xie."

Ruoshui stood up and looked to the sides with his peripheral vision, a little surprised, there were really no outsiders.

The old lady gave her a strange look.

"Thank you? You girl, you have said that you don't need to be formal. ”

Seeing the old lady beckoning to her, Ruoshui walked over to help her gently pinch her shoulders and smiled.

"This is not good, the old lady once taught Ruoshui that you must always be disciplined in your words and deeds, so that you will not make mistakes lightly, Ruoshui has always kept it in mind and dare not forget."

"Hehe, it's rare that you still take your wife's words to heart, and you finally didn't hurt you in vain." Seeing Ruoshui listen to her like this, the old lady smiled very happily.

"Of course, whoever called the old lady is true."

If the honey continued to be sprinkled on the mouth, it was so sweet that the old lady laughed.

"Hehehe, your mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter, no wonder among the four girls, I like you the most."

Ruoshui pretended to be frightened.

"Old lady, don't say that, if Sister Zilan hears it, they will be jealous."

"Hmph, old woman, I will hurt whoever I love, if anyone dares to have an opinion, tell her not to appear in front of the old woman again."

Ruoshui stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth, this is the old lady, she has always been so domineering, but to her, the old lady has always been very kind, closer than her own grandmother, Ruoshui was very moved in her heart, and she had already regarded the old lady as her own grandmother.

"By the way, girl, I called you here, in fact, there is a good thing to tell you."

Ruoshui trembled, and the movement of rubbing his shoulders suddenly stopped, and he looked at the old lady with a wink, waiting for her so-called good deeds.

But the drum beat in her heart, because every good thing the old lady said seemed to be her trouble.

The old lady turned her head and glanced at her.

"There is a women's talent contest in the third day, and the emperor and the queen mother invited me to judge together, and I have already signed you up."

"Uh~・"

Ruoshui was very stunned, is she a lady, what kind of talent competition is she participating in, if she wants to go, Sister Zilan will not go, thinking about it, she couldn't help but sneer.

"Old lady, since it's a talent competition, wouldn't it be better for Sister Zilan to go, she's a talented girl."

The old lady glared at her in displeasure.

"There is a reason for telling you to go, what are you talking about?"

"Hehe, what's the truth in it, the old lady will tell me first."

Ruoshui ran diligently to pour a cup of tea for the old lady, smiling with a dog's leg.

"Well, it's okay to sue sù first, but you have to hold on, don't get too excited."

If the water listens and nods,

The old lady took a sip of tea, put it down, pointed to the stool next to Ruoshui and motioned for her to sit down, and then smiled mysteriously.

"Actually, this talent contest is to choose a concubine for the Nine Princes."

"Ah~~"

Ruoshui jumped up in shock, the old lady of her family wouldn't want to marry her to the Ninth Prince.

"What, happy stupid?"

Seeing Ruoshui's stunned appearance, the old lady only thought she was too excited.

If the water is sweaty, what is she happy about, she is scared.

"That, old lady, my talent is not good, I definitely can't win, besides, I'm just a girl, and the Ninth Prince can't look down on me, even if I do, I'm a concubine who can't be smaller, and I can't be bullied to death."

Ruoshui said more and more quietly, with a look of grievance, I hope that the old lady will love her, I can't bear her grievances, and take back her life, she really doesn't want to participate in the concubine selection competition, she doesn't know the ninth prince, how can she marry casually.

As soon as she heard this, the old lady was not happy, and glanced at Ruoshui and said.

"What's wrong with your talent, aren't you playing the piano very well? Besides, what's wrong with the girl, that is also the girl that my old lady Qian loves the most, more noble than the average daughter, who dares to let you be a concubine, no matter how you have to be a concubine, if Mo Yan dares to have any objections, hum, I can't spare him. ”

Ruoshui can be said to be thundering in front of her, and the old lady of her family really treats her as a green onion, confident and slow, and still a concubine? Does that mean that he still has concubines, side concubines, concubines and the like? Thinking that he would have to fight to survive in a group of women in the future, Ruoshui couldn't help but tremble.

Mo? It sounds like a boring gourd.

I didn't want to go down, so I had to continue to lobby tactfully

"But old lady, the people who go to the competition must be some famous ladies with both ability and political integrity, and I may not win it?"

I really don't know where the old lady of her family got her confidence.

Who knew that the old lady smiled.

"You don't have to worry about this, Concubine Xiao owes me a promise before her death, the emperor and the queen mother know about this, you just have to play well, and the rest of the matter will naturally fall into place."

Ruoshui's eyes were wide open, and she said that why was the old lady so confident, it turned out that she was giving someone else's favor.

This Concubine Xiao, who is the biological mother of the Ninth Prince, died of illness ten years ago.

"Old lady, you don't want to use this promise to persecute the Nine Princes, do you?" It's too thunderous like this, is there a forced marriage, so it's strange that she married and had a good life?

The old lady's eyes widened and she pouted.

"What is persecution, I married my favorite girl to him, and he still dares to disagree?"

Ruoshui was speechless, since the old lady had planned it, she would just marry her directly, and what kind of competition would she go to participate in? Thinking like this, I blurted out.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Okay, girl, that's right, then let's do it."

"Uh~"

Ruoshui was startled, and suddenly wanted to bite her tongue, what did she mean?

"That old lady, I didn't mean that, I think it, I haven't seen this Nine Princes, I don't have any feelings at all, if I just make do with it, I won't be happy, right?"

The old lady glanced at her disapprovingly.

"This relationship is to be cultivated slowly, and it is not for you to marry immediately, Mo Yan, this kid is reliable, it will not be wrong to marry him, ask you to participate in the competition, that is, go through the motions and confirm that you have this qualification, otherwise you will marry to be a concubine or a concubine, I am afraid that you can't stand the gossip of others, do you understand, you girl."

Seeing that the old lady shook her head helplessly, the corners of Ruoshui's mouth twitched, my old lady, when you left Rongcheng, it seemed that the ninth prince had only been born for a short time, so you could see that he was reliable? What a man of God who knows the prophet.
