Chapter 200 Port Construction
As soon as the position of the crown prince and concubine became vacant, the courtiers naturally made a small calculation.
The Shanggong Bureau sent people to inspect the young ladies of each family, and finally gathered the list, and some painters painted and presented it to Queen Xie, so that she could choose slowly.
Queen Xie didn't have any ideas, so she called Ye Chengyan to pick a few that fit her eyes, and then prepared a flower viewing banquet and invited the girl she picked into the palace.
Even Nanli received a post from the palace.
The post was sent by Xie Beihan personally, Nanli used to be the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion in Anyang, for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the family, she couldn't help but go, and she saved the queen's face.
But now she is the ninth princess, leaning on the big tree to enjoy the shade, so there are some banquets she doesn't want to go to, she can directly refuse.
"I don't want to go." Nanli Road.
"Don't, my aunt just wants you to go over and look at the faces of the noble girls." Xie Beihan blinked, pleading.
It's no wonder that Queen Xie attaches so much importance to it, she invited Nanli to see Rong Dongling's face before, who knew that something was really wrong, so Queen Xie would let Nanli enter the palace again, look at the faces of the nobles, and then check their eight characters.
Although it is like picking goods, the winner is the future mother of the country, so naturally everything is cautious and careful, and it is not sloppy.
Nanli was setting up a magic circle to nourish the soul of the Xu family, and did not look up at Xie Beihan.
She said: "If you want me to see the face of one person, the eight characters of one person, it costs a hundred taels of silver, and now you want me to see the faces of so many noble women, how can this business be counted?" ”
Xie Beihan knew that there was a play as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's a hundred taels, how about it?" ”
Nanli thought about it, and it wasn't too much of a loss, so she responded in one bite.
Xie Beihan left Yuwang's Mansion with a leisurely front foot, and the news spread.
Who doesn't want to come out on top and become the crown princess, but the key point of this selection is on Nanli's body.
The next day, there was a small servant in the Wuyang Marquis Mansion who had been waiting for a long time, saying that there was a demon in his house, and he wanted to invite the nine princesses to come to the door to get rid of the evil.
Seeing the anxious appearance of the little guy, Zhimi took people to the inner hall.
Nan Li glanced at him, and her face turned a little colder: "There are no demons in your house, so that your master doesn't have to scare himself." ”
The little girl hurriedly said: "The Nine Princesses are really profound, and the little ones admire it." This is my lord's filial piety to the nine princesses, and please don't dislike the nine princesses. ”
He brought a small box and placed it on the table, and it was obvious that it had taken some effort.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a golden ingot.
Zhimi's eyes widened: "Didn't my senior sister say that there are no evil in your house?" What kind of gold are you going to give? ”
Nanli frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
The little maid said: "The small one is from the Hou Mansion of Wuyang, and the eldest lady in the mansion will enter the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet in a few days, and the Hou Ye just wants to ask the Nine Princesses to help with a few kind words." ”
He lowered his voice, flattering.
I heard that these nine princesses have to charge money for ghost hunting and drawing, I think she is a money fan, so much gold, are you afraid that you can't buy her?
Nanli smiled angrily, she didn't expect that she would be bought like this one day.
She glanced at the gold ingots in the box, and said helplessly: "I do like silver and gold, but it shouldn't be mine, I will never ask for it." ”
"As long as the Ninth Princess is willing to help with this, this is what you deserve." The little servant hurriedly persuaded, "If the number does not match, the Hou Ye can double it again to ensure that the ninth princess is satisfied." ”
"You just said that you are from the Marquis Mansion of Wuyang, right?" Nanli raised her eyebrows.
The little guy was happy in his heart, and nodded busily: "Exactly." ”
"Let your young lady not have to prepare, I will inform the queen mother so that she doesn't have to invite your eldest lady to the palace banquet." Nanli said.
The little guy's smile stiffened, and he was stunned on the spot.
"What do you mean by the Nine Princesses?"
"It's literal." Nanli's sharp eyes narrowed, and the little girl trembled.
The little guy didn't expect that this time would be self-defeating, but there were two black-armored guards outside the door, he didn't dare to make a mistake, closed the box, and left in a hurry.
Seeing that people had left the inner hall, Nan Li stretched his waist and muttered, "This errand can still make money like this, it can be regarded as a long insight." ”
Zhimi said: "It seems that all families have tried their best, do you really want to tell the queen mother that the eldest lady of the Marquis of Wuyang will not be allowed to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet?" ”
He didn't think that his senior sister had done anything wrong, but he was afraid that his senior sister would make an enemy and would be retaliated against in the future.
Nanli winked at him and smiled: "I don't talk much, lest the future of bad people ruin the fate of others." ”
Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
But there are one and two, and then several families came to them, either lying that their families were not safe, or handing over posts, all wanting to see Nanli.
What's more, someone passed Xiao Wanyi or her brothers, but they all knew Nanli's character, so they immediately refused.
They didn't tell Nanli about it, so as not to add to her troubles.
Even if others hold a grudge, how dare they trouble the Marquis of Anyang.
The people of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion were panicked, and after waiting for a few days, there was no sound in the palace, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite this, Wuyang Hou did not intend to divide it in peace.
In the past, the Marquis of Wuyang and the Marquis of Anyang were on par.
But later, Chu Hanlin was meritorious in military training, the eldest son was also very effective, the second son had a hand in business, the third son was a high school champion, and the remaining two sons were also able to write and martial arts.
Not to mention the sixth lady who just came back, she saved the car from danger several times and took the whole family to be promoted to the official position, not to mention that she later married the ninth prince and became the royal daughter-in-law.
Today's Anyang Hou Mansion has been left behind.
Wuyang Hou has always compared himself with Chu Hanlin, seeing such a situation, how can he endure it.
His son is not talented, only one daughter is dignified and beautiful, and now Rong Dongling has been demoted to a side concubine, vacating the position of the crown prince and concubine, how can he let go of this opportunity!
Nanli couldn't get through, so he sent people around for secret visits, and finally invited a Taoist leader.
That long law is called Tiancheng, there is no faction, and there is not much ability to hunt ghosts and eliminate demons, but he is very good at changing people's faces.
Wuyang Hou saw his thief's eyebrows, and he also had a trace of distrust: "Dao Chang can really change my daughter's face?" Let her emit purple qi from her? ”
"Nature." Tiancheng stroked his beard, very confident and comfortable.
"You've probably heard of the Nine Princesses, right? This woman's sperm channel technique, the queen also invited her to sit in charge, can the magic you cast hide from her eyes? Wu Yanghou asked.
"A little girl, how can it really be a fine channel technique, the first few rescues were coincidental." Tiancheng snorted, a little disdainful, "Poor Dao's technique has never gone wrong, Hou Ye can rest assured." ”
