Judging by the old lady's attitude, participating in the competition is a foregone conclusion.

But what puzzled her was, why did the old lady want to marry herself to the Ninth Prince so much? If you want to talk about marriage, there are still a few daughters in the house who have never been married, wouldn't it be better to choose one between them? Even the competition can be saved, and it is very easy to ask for marriage directly, why choose her, is it just because of love? No matter what the real reason is, if the water knows, it is not appropriate to make any more useless arguments at this moment, anyway, there are still three days, and then find a way.

Suddenly, she thought of Zilan, this sister who is a few months older than her, not only beautiful, but also quite talented, Ruoshui knows, she has always wanted to have a chance to show herself, and it can be seen that she has the idea of wanting to fly on the branches, this concubine competition, isn't it just right? Anyway, she is not interested, maybe she can fulfill other people's dreams, thinking like this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and looked at the old lady with a smile.

"The old lady is right, Ruoshui obeys the order, it's just a talent competition, after all, the participants are not general, Ruoshui doesn't dare to guarantee that there is no mistake, just in case, Ruoshui dares to invite the old lady, allow Sister Zilan to be together, so that there is a companion between the sisters, besides, in case the ninth prince really doesn't look down on Ruoshui, it's good to take a fancy to my sister, my sister is both talented and beautiful, smart and virtuous, and she won't lose face for the old lady."

If Shui thinks that with Zilan's talent, she will definitely be able to attract people's attention, and she will be as low-key as she can be when the time comes, she doesn't believe that the old lady can really use the promise made more than ten years ago to force the Nine Princes to fail, so not only in front of everyone can not say it, even if the Nine Princes really agree, she will also become a laughing stock, the old lady really wants to hurt her, she will definitely not do this.

Who is the old lady, of course she can see that Ruoshui has the intention of diverting the target, and she didn't blame her, but just let out a long sigh.

"Zilan's child is really good, and it's okay if the Nine Princes can really take a fancy to her, but"

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed again.

"Is it because of Sister Zilan's identity?"

Ruoshui instantly understood, and then remembered that Zilan was a lowly, if it was just a matter of selling her body, the old lady could directly return it to her and eliminate the lowly status, but the problem was that her parents were said to be lowly, and because of the criminal record, even the old lady could not change it at will.

The old lady said helplessly.

"Yes, her mother is a prostitute, her father is a mountain bandit, and she was recorded for robbing official silver, the court decreed that his descendants will always be lowly, and no one can change it, and her identity like her, let alone marrying the Nine Princes, even this concubine selection competition is not eligible to participate."

When she saw Ruoshui's surprised face, the old lady was stunned in embarrassment, only to think that they didn't know about Zilan's parents, Ruoshui, and forgot for a while and blurted out, the old lady felt deeply inappropriate, and couldn't help pulling Ruoshui.

"Girl, I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything, don't say anything in front of outsiders, huh?" After speaking, he also patted the back of Ruoshui's hand a few times, in fact, Zilan is a girl, she still loves it very much, and she doesn't want her to be ridiculed because of her life experience, thinking that in the future, she will find a way to find an ordinary good family for her to marry, but the prince will be in the family, she must not touch it, after all, this is related to the face of the royal family and the country.

Ruoshui certainly understood what the old lady meant, and hurriedly promised.

"The old lady can rest assured that Ruoshui didn't hear anything just now and doesn't know anything."

"Hmm~ Sure enough, she's a smart girl."

For Ruoshui, the old lady was very relieved, and the smile on her face was full of relief to see her so sensible.

Although Ruoshui was also smiling on her face, she was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she just heard that Zilan's parents were lowly, and she thought that she was also a servant or something, but she didn't expect that it would be so unbearable, and she really ruined such a good woman.

Speaking of which, even if it is her, if there is no recommendation from the old lady, a girl is not qualified to participate in this concubine selection competition, let alone such a despicable identity as Zilan.

Thinking of that high-minded woman, Ruoshui couldn't help but sigh, it seems that her thoughts in this body are destined to be difficult to come true.

"Okay, let's just say it, come, accompany the old woman to walk around outside."

"Yes"

Seeing that the old lady deliberately put aside the embarrassment, Ruoshui also followed this remark, replied respectfully, and helped the old lady to walk towards the door.

The two of them spoke seriously, and they both sent the maids away before they spoke, so no one expected that there was one more person outside the door at this moment.

Zilan stood outside the door, with a sad and desperate face, until she heard the old lady say that she was going out, she came back to her senses, and quickly turned around and hid in the corner on the side, she and Ruoshui were close to serve the old lady, just wanted to see if the old lady had anything to order, who knew that they happened to meet them talking about their life experience, and couldn't help but cause deep sadness in her heart.

Her mother is a prostitute and her father is a mountain bandit, so she is destined to be a lowly slave who can't get rid of her status for the rest of her life, why? I am talented and good-looking, why should I be treated so unfairly because of my parents.

Looking at Ruoshui in front of her supporting the old lady with a smile, she suddenly hated, she was also a girl, Ruoshui can get the love of the old lady, she can be famous, and now she can even go to participate in the concubine selection competition of the Nine Princes, even Xiaoqian and Aru, relying on the identity of the old lady and the big girl, can be matched with the wife of a small family, and she, let alone marrying into a high-ranking family, even if she is a concubine of a small family, she may not be looked down upon.

It seems that the old lady never took her to those big banquets, and the deeper reason is her identity, and just now, she exposed her bottom in front of Ruoshui like that, and let her dignity be swept away, doesn't this make her even more unbearable in front of Ruoshui in the future, why? Why is the old lady so partial, why is God so unfair, why her parents are cheap, why everyone can be better than her in the future, but she is a cheap slave who doesn't even fight for a chance, she is unwilling, very unwilling, she must rely on herself to change her fate and change this qiē.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, Zilan couldn't maintain her usual dignified and generous posture at the moment, her hand was holding on to the wall and she was in a trance, letting the tears slide down her cheeks and wet her clothes.
