The Bai sisters hurriedly said: "We have a girl who plays the piano very well, and it is a girl from the Li family. The princess should have seen it. Not only is the piano played well, but the demeanor and appearance are all good, and there are obviously the characteristics of the Li family girl, all of them have ruddy faces, and they look beautiful. ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Well, yes, this Miss Li's identity is also very good, there are already three people from the Chen family in the palace, if the Bai family and the Li family are not in the palace, then the remaining patriarchs should be unhappy." It's good to have to enter another four major families. This Wang family is definitely not good, and the rest are the Bai family and the Li family. The Bai family can't run for these few, so let's choose the Li family. Moreover, this girl from the Li family, I also saw it, this appearance and talent are good, so be it, so be it. You go play, I'll go to the palace and talk to my mother tomorrow. ”

Chen Wenhui and the Bai sisters went together and played in the garden for a while. After a while, the first place in each category was awarded. Zhao Yuman won the first place in the song and dance group, Chen Wenhui in the painting group, Tian Minyi in the poetry group, the girl from the Li family in the group of playing the piano, and the girl from the Wang family in the chess category.

The girls who won the first place in each family received gifts from the lord of Shuyuan. What Chen Wenhui got was a set of precious pen, ink, paper and inkstones, among which the inkstone was a good inkstone, which was extremely rare.

Wen Hui couldn't help but think, this Shuyuan county lord is really atmospheric, this time the royal family helped her fight the autumn wind, so that everyone who came to the spring banquet gave her gifts, she made a fortune, and knew how to prepare precious prizes, so that everyone looked good, and those who gave gifts could also be calm, and the girl who got the gift was naturally happy at home, and the girl who didn't get the gift was not as good as others, and there was nothing to say.

When the talent competition is over, the prizes are distributed, and those ladies are in groups, or enjoy the spring scenery in the garden. Or congratulate the girl who won the first, after all, the girl who won the first will be able to enter the palace in the future, this will be the emperor's favorite concubine, when will you not make friends now? There are also some who are appreciating the gifts that each family gave to the lord of Shuyuan. The gifts are all placed on a table. Thereinto. The carving of the ivory given by Chen Wenhui's home has become the center of everyone's discussion. Chen Wenhui didn't care about anything else, but he introduced the benefits of ivory carvings to these interested ladies, and talked about Nanyang specialties from the ivory carvings, and specially introduced and displayed the Nanyang specialties such as rubies and coral hairpins on his head, and of course recommended the Jin Yutang of the Hei family. At that time, several ladies expressed interest and planned to visit it in two days. Chen Wenhui couldn't close her mouth, and she was even happier than winning the first place.

The other girls who won the first place seemed to see their future path to wealth and glory in the palace, and their families were also very excited. It's as if she is about to become the emperor's mother-in-law.

Especially Tian Minyi and her mother, Mrs. Tian Da. Mrs. Tian said excitedly to her daughter: "Minyi, it's really in vain that you have been preparing for a long time, now you are going to win glory for your family, your father's and ancestors' faces are bright, and the day of my brother and I has come." You're going to have a good future ahead of you. We really burn incense in our house. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but shed tears. Tian Minyi looked impatient, and whispered to her mother: "Mother, you must be steady, look at Mrs. Chen over there, her daughter was only ten years old and won the first place, and she still looks light-hearted." Can't you learn from her? Mrs. Chen is still a concubine, you are also the daughter of the family, and you are also the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family, the eldest lady of the Shangshu family, this identity cannot be forgotten, and the rules cannot be forgotten. To have grace, how many times do you have to say it, but I can't remember it. ”

Mrs. Tian said, "Isn't Mother excited? I thought that you would be able to enter the palace in the future and become a nobleman, the fox in the family. In the future, I will never dare to disrespect me again, your brother will have a good future, your grandmother will look at me differently, and your father will have to respect me. How can you not shed tears? ”

Tian Minyi was a little angry: "Mother, if you look like this again, if you turn things upside down, I will let people send you back." I just got the first, did the emperor let me enter the palace after the emperor's decree? Or did the concubine in the palace make a decree to let me enter the palace? This qiē is still unknown, why can't you be a little more graceful? If I lose the election because of you, and you go back, will your grandmother give you good fruit to eat? ”

Mrs. Tian was startled and hurriedly asked, "Impossible, right?" You've won the first place, can you still lose the election? Everyone knows that this spring banquet is to select candidates to enter the palace, and I heard that three to four candidates will be selected, because this time the people who participated in the draft are the daughters of high-ranking families, so as soon as you enter the palace, you will be given the position of a nobleman, how can you not be selected if you get the first? I heard your grandfather say that the emperor likes talented women the most, especially those who can recite poems and compose the right ones, and they are more advantageous than those who sing and dance. Isn't that Qian concubine favored because of this? What is the identity of Qian Concubine, where can you compare to you, not only can you recite poems, delicate thoughts, but also noble status, your grandfather is a scholar, you are the eldest daughter. ”

Tian Minyi thinks about it, if she can enter the palace, she won't compare those concubines and the like. I heard that the most favored in the palace now are the two new Chen Guiren, that is, Chen Wenhui's cousin, but unfortunately those two Chen Guiren are both concubines, and they have not received any good upbringing since childhood, and their singing and dancing talents are even more mediocre. There are also two highest-ranking Chen Guifei and Wan Defei. Chen Guifei is over forty years old, and she has counted to fifty, how can she compare with her in the prime of her cardamom, and Concubine Wande, who is already a grandmother, although she is beautiful, but after looking at it for such a long time, she is impatient to come to the emperor. Thinking about it this way, as long as she enters the palace, she will definitely be favored, and if she is a man and a woman, she will definitely be able to spoil the harem.

Thinking of this, Tian Minyi was also a little uneasy. At this time, she suddenly saw Zhao Yuman in the crowd, and couldn't help frowning. This is something that I didn't expect, how could it be that the sisters of the Zhao family were not kicked out, and Zhao Yuman could still get the first place? In this way, it is possible that the sisters of the Zhao family will also follow her into the palace. No, I heard that there were only three candidates, but this time there were five firsts. This Chen Wenhui should not be counted, although she is the first, but she is too young, and secondly, she is the county lord, according to the regulations of Da Chu, she should not be able to enter the palace. So that's left with four. It is said that the girl of the Wang family should not be allowed by the emperor to enter the palace. But who can say for sure? Queen Wang offended the emperor, but the Wang family is not living well in the capital, the girl of the Wang family is very good, it is not surprising if she can enter the palace this time, and the girl of the Li family, I heard that before, the emperor hated the people of the Li family, but after all, the Li family is the emperor's mother's family, people say that they will not leave the root of the grandmother for three lifetimes, and this blood relationship is constantly abandoned, so the girl of the Li family will definitely enter the palace. In this way, there will be one loser between himself and Zhao Yuman.

Thinking of this, Tian Minyi secretly gritted her teeth, she had to think of a way. Tian Minyi looked at Zhao Yuman's happy smiling face in the crowd, and then looked at her tearful mother next to her, she couldn't help but get bored for a while, and patiently said what she thought about Mrs. Hetian.

Mrs. Tian was a little dumbfounded, she immediately understood that her daughter's analysis was very correct: "Then what should I do?" We are not very familiar with the girl of the Wang family and the girl of the Li family, we just can't do anything to them? You and Zhao Yuman are going to lose the election, well, her family is a military general's family, and they are fighting in the northwest, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not let her enter the palace in order to entrap their family, what can I do? Isn't this the pheasant that has arrived also flies? ”

Tian Minyi was a little annoyed and said: "Mother, you just know how to cry and complain all day long, and you never have an idea, hmph, you quickly put away your tears, learn from Mrs. Chen, and make good friends with these noble ladies, I will go to congratulate Zhao Yuman, and see if I can find a chance to pull her off the horse." ”

Mrs. Tian knew that this daughter was resourceful, so she quickly wiped away her tears, and went to get close to those ladies with vigor.

Tian Minyi walked towards Zhao Yuman with a smiling face, Zhao Yuman was very happy to see her friend Tian Minyi, and said, "Minyi, both of us have won the first place, it's really good." Well, the only bad thing is that the little Chen Wenhui also got the first place, which is really infuriating. ”

Tian Minyi said: "Congratulations to Yuman, you won the first, Yuwen, don't be discouraged, you are younger, and next year, next year your sister will enter the palace, maybe she will be directly let into the palace, where is it still used here to participate in the competition." ”

In a few words, Zhao Yuwen happily looked at her sister Zhao Yuman, who had won the first radiant look.

Although Zhao Yuman is arrogant, he still loves his sister very much, and said to his sister: "Yes, what Minyi said is very true, we have been together since we were children and have never been separated, how can I be willing to enter the palace alone?" Sister Tian also won the first place, we will enter the palace together when the time comes, no matter who gets favored first, we all want to let you enter the palace, so that the three of us can still be together? I just advised you not to be discouraged, you still don't listen, and now you listen to Minyi's words, don't you believe it? ’

Zhao Yuwen showed a sweet smile, and Tian Minyi looked at the two sisters and smiled.
