Chu Qi sat in the carriage, and it was not a long distance to sit on it. After all, they are all in the capital, and they are far from anywhere.

Wait for her to lift the curtain and step out of the carriage. Grab the invitation in your hand and walk to the door.

Chu Qi handed the invitation to the waiter at the door, and then someone led her to the banquet place.

Along the way, Chu Qi looked at the carved beams and paintings, small bridges and flowing water, which was really exquisite.

And the courtyard is also very large, and it took a while to reach the middle of the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there were already many young ladies of the family gathered together, and they all stood together with acquaintances and talked.

This made Chu Qi a little embarrassed, after all, there was no one here she knew.

In the past, when the original owner went to the banquet, he always got together with Sun Ruyun. As a result, after Sun Ruyun entered the palace, she never met her again. Then Sun Ruyun was never seen again because of the crime.

However, some people saw that she was alone and wanted to come to talk.

A handsome-looking young lady from a family first asked Chu Qi, "Are you alone?"

Chu Qi was also a little glad that he finally didn't have to stand there alone in a daze.

"yes."

Chu Qi looked at the person in front of him, his appearance was very delicate, but he was also not beautiful. It's just pleasing to the eye, and it's not beautiful.

"My name is Yuan Ziyan, but why are you standing here alone?" She reported herself to the door.

"Because there's no one you know." Chu Qi also sighed helplessly.

Yuan Ziyan felt a little strange: "How can there be no familiar people?" You just moved to Beijing? ”

"Because the familiar people have already entered the palace through the draft." Chu Qi replied to her words.

This is indeed excusable, this Yuan Ziyan has also participated in the draft. But it was quickly brushed off.

"Draft? Speaking of which, I was in that draft. Yuan Ziyan chuckled twice.

Chu Qi became interested: "How is the draft?"

"I really don't know what to say."

Even if it was brushed down quickly, Yuan Ziyan also saw a lot of methods during that time, and some people were brushed down because of this. There are many of them who feel that they can be selected.

"By the way, didn't you say that someone you know was selected? Tell me who it is, maybe I know it. Yuan Ziyan diverted the topic.

"Hmm......" Chu Qi pondered, "Chu Xuan and Sun Ruyun." ”

"Chu Xuan and Sun Ruyun?" Yuan Ziyan really had an impression of the two of them.

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"

"One is a sister-in-law, and the other is a cousin." Chu Qi replied.

Sister Shu? Cousin?

Could it be that this is Chu Qi, the second lady of Chu Mansion?

Because Chu Xuan was born as a concubine, and Sun Ruyun was born as a concubine. So when she called her sister, Yuan Ziyan almost guessed it.

Yuan Ziyan really didn't think that in front of her was the second lady of the Chu Mansion.

But it doesn't seem to be as bad as the rumors say, as for her mother. Yuan Ziyan will not comment.

"You are Chu Qi, the second lady of Chu Mansion?"

"Yes."

Speaking of which. Chu Xuan's person Yuan Ziyan was not particularly familiar, but she had seen Chu Xuan when she had just entered the palace at that time.

There is only one impression of Chu Xuan, that is, beautiful. It looks exquisite. Even raising eyebrows has its own charm. Yuan Ziyan also felt that Chu Xuan would enter the palace. And so it turned out.

And Chu Xuan is also in the palace. It is said that she is already pregnant.

And Sun Ruyun has more contact with her, and she looks good, but she is far inferior to Chu Xuan and others. And I feel a little difficult to get along with. It's not that Sun Ruyun doesn't give face or anything.

Instead, he didn't seem to have any topics with Sun Ruyun, and the atmosphere with Sun Ruyun was extremely strange.

Sun Ruyun can be selected, Yuan Ziyan still feels a little strange.

As it turned out, even if she could be selected, she didn't stay long.

Not long after entering the palace, he was sentenced for framing people. What's interesting is that it was Chu Xuan who was framed.

"By the way, isn't your sister pregnant?" Yuan Ziyan naturally knew about this stubble.

Although she was not selected, is it not allowed for people to pay attention to those show girls who were drafted together and then successfully selected?

"yes."

"That's really a blessing, there is not a child in the palace now. If your sister's child is born, it will be the first one in the palace. ”

Looking at Yuan Ziyan's excited appearance, she lived as if she was pregnant with a dragon heir.

"yes." Chu Qi's reaction was not so intense, but responded lightly.

Whether Chu Xuan can give birth to a child or not has little to do with Chu Qi, and the relationship between the two is not good, and it is normal for Chu Qi to have no reaction to her.

This Yuan Ziyan knows a lot of news, and discussing gossip is a little familiar, which does not match her delicate and shy appearance.

"You know that Zhuang Shixian, the young lady of the dealer who held the banquet this time, is also going to enter the palace to run for election in the future, and it is said that it must be decided."

This news really shocked Chu Qi a little.

But if you think about it, that's pretty much the case, cousins and sisters were okay in ancient times.

"She entered the palace to run for election?"

"yes, and it's not expected to be low. You think that Concubine Lin will be a concubine as soon as she enters the palace, and with the Queen Mother here, it is estimated that this Zhuang Shixian will not be far behind. Yuan Ziyan's words were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

She saw that Chu Qi was still frowning.

"You don't know, the Queen Mother and the Queen have been at odds for a long time." After saying this, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but add: "Don't tell others that I said it."

"The Queen Mother and the Queen are not compatible?" Chu Qi asked suspiciously.

Yuan Ziyan lowered her voice and said: "It is said that this queen used means to marry the current saint as the wife, otherwise this queen may be surnamed Zhuang."

"Means?" Only then did Chu Qi know why Yuan Ziyan said that the queen mother and the queen were not compatible.

"It is estimated that this Zhuang Shixian has entered the palace, and the queen has to be urgent. You know, so far the queen doesn't have an eldest son. ”

Chu Qi didn't expect to hear so much exciting news from Yuan Ziyan's mouth.

"But it's more than two years before the next draft."

Yuan Ziyan said casually: "More than two years is not far away, if the Queen Mother uses any excuse to let the emperor draft in advance, it will be even closer."

"You probably guess the next draft, age is enough, right?" Yuan Ziyan was interested.

"Yes, but my grandmother probably didn't have the intention of doing so."

"Your grandmother didn't have that plan? I don't know how many people want to send their daughters in. ”

Although that place was a fire pit, there were countless people who sent their daughters into it.

Chu Qi was also unhappy in her heart: "I don't know what grandmother thinks." (To be continued......)
