In this way, Meng Huaiqiu sent more than a dozen people with strong martial arts to follow Guan Yan to the capital. On the one hand, rescue Lan Yuejiao, and on the other hand, find the Cold Moon Knife, bring it back to Wushan, and give it to Meng Huaiqiu.

Of course, the latter is the most important.

When Guan Yan and them arrived, Chen Wanyan and them were already ambushed there.

"What are those people on the other side doing?" Chen Wanyan didn't understand a little, looking at their actions, they were also going to rob the house.

"It seems that he is also a fellow believer." A person next to Chen Wanyan said.

"Don't worry about it for now, maybe, they are also like us, they must be the daughters of other kings, who have offended someone. As long as we don't get into the river water, it's fine. Chen Wanyan waved her hand and motioned to the person next to her to hide behind and ambush her.

At this time, in the palace. The daughters of each government have all arrived in turn, and after getting off the sedan chair, under the leadership of the father-in-law, they came to the Benyue Palace in the harem.

The furnishings in the palace are very gorgeous, but the daughters of each house do not squint and walk end-to-end.

At this time, the queen mother and several concubines in the harem were already sitting on it, looking down at the daughters in the hall.

The father-in-law in charge, after checking the names one by one against the roster, bowed down to report to the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, the daughters of the various prefectures who arrived today, a total of 24 people, after checking them with the roster one by one, they are accurate, please ask the Queen Mother to order."

The steward's father-in-law's sharp and hoarse voice made Lin Miao feel uncomfortable when she heard it, and she shrugged her shoulders unnaturally.

However, it was just such a subtle action. were all seen by the Queen Mother.

She asked aloud, "What's your name?" ”

Lin Miao didn't know that she was asking herself, she just lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. Didn't answer immediately.

The father-in-law, following the eyes of the Queen Mother, saw Lin Miao still standing aside, and couldn't help but say hurriedly, hurriedly stepped forward, and reminded softly, "The Queen Mother is asking you, you don't answer quickly!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Miao was stunned. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother was talking to herself just now, and she didn't call her name at all. Who knows who she's asking just now.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly in displeasure, thinking to herself, whose girl is this. Why do you look silly and stupid.

Steward's father-in-law. Over the years, the ability to observe words and emotions has been practiced at home, and at this time, when he saw that the queen was displeased, he hurriedly reminded Lin Miao softly again, "Answer quickly, what are you doing cold?" ”

When Lin Miao heard this, he hurriedly gave a salute and replied respectfully, "Lin Miao, the daughter of the people, belongs to King Lin's mansion." ”

"Lin Miao?" The Queen Mother repeated. At the same time, the mind is constantly thinking. This name, why is it so familiar?

But the father-in-law in charge on the side was anxious, and complained in a low voice, "Oh, how can you say that your name is Lin Miao?" On your roster, Lin Guifeng is clearly written! If the queen mother investigates this, it will be a bully. ”

Lin Miao was stunned: No, right? On the roster, why does it say that my name is Lin Guifeng?

Oh, by the way, isn't the name my father gave me Lin Guifeng. The name Lin Miao is the name of his previous life.

However, the matter has come to this point, and if you change your words immediately, it is tantamount to not confessing to yourself.

Therefore, Lin Miao bit her lip and did not speak.

However, the father-in-law in charge next to him was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he only dared to bow his body and let the queen mother blame.

Strangely, the Queen Mother did not blame her father-in-law, nor did she question Lin Miao's name. She thought for a long time, and then said, "You are Lin Miao, who won the first place in the food competition that year?" ”

"It's the people's daughter." Lin Miao replied respectfully.

"Hehe, it's really a female college eighteen changes, back then, you were still a little girl, but your cooking skills are really good." The queen mother's thoughts, as if all of a sudden, returned to a few years ago, and Lin Miao appeared in front of her, wearing a blue cloth shirt and combing her double bun.

"The Queen Mother has won the award." Lin Miao replied gently, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, neither the joy of 'the Queen Mother actually remembers me', nor the nervous stage fright.

"I remember, you were still a little maid in Duke Chen's Mansion back then, why did you suddenly become the daughter of King Lin's Mansion?" The queen mother's gossip heart couldn't help but start bubbling out.

Lin Miao smiled slightly, "This matter is a long story, if there is a chance, the people will tell the Queen Mother in detail." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then hooked the corners of her mouth and nodded appreciatively. I thought to myself, this girl's bearing is extraordinary, if she is replaced by another woman, maybe she will take this opportunity to get close to herself.

And this Lin Miao in front of him has brought this matter lightly, which can not only satisfy the curiosity of others, but also pull things back to the topic.

Yes, after all, today, it is to choose a concubine for the six princes.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later." After speaking, the Queen Mother stood up, went down from her position, and walked in front of the candidates, and she looked at them carefully.

I saw that they had different looks, some seemed to be very nervous, and some pretended to be calm, only Lin Miao, who was generous, did not squint, and had a frank temperament.

"You are all outstanding people selected from various prefectures, whether it is appearance, morality, or cultivation, you are all one in a thousand. However, when you come here today, you are on the same starting line again. The Queen Mother paced lightly and walked past the daughters.

Her words were very soft, but there was no doubt that she briefly talked about today's arrangement, and warned everyone that if you are lucky enough to be selected and become the princess of the Six Princes, how should you become a virtuous helper, in addition to the three from the four virtues, what are the other places, you should pay attention to your words and deeds.

The daughters of the various provinces listened attentively and kept nodding their heads, indicating that they had understood.

Liu Qiaoyue, standing not far from Lin Miao, had noticed Lin Miao since the Queen Mother was talking to her just now.

Seeing that she was dressed up beautifully and generously today, Liu Qiaoyue couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart. For a while, I felt that compared to her, I was just a next to the phoenix.

Especially thinking that the clothes that are now worn on the body are still snatched from the silk village in the west of the city, and they originally belonged to Lin Miao. Thinking of this, Liu Qiaoyue's heart became even more uneasy, and fine beads of sweat began to seep out of her forehead.

The Queen Mother was pacing, and suddenly, she stopped in front of Liu Qiaoyue.

"What's your name?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the people's daughter is called Liu Qiaoyue, and she is the daughter of Liu Qingliu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites." Liu Qiaoyue hurriedly replied.

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, stared coldly at the beads of sweat on her forehead, and said, "Before the concubine selection ceremony, didn't you notify the provinces?" If the daughter of the candidate is in poor health on the day of the concubine election, she will automatically give up the concubine selection and only report the reason. Why are you still sick? ”

When Liu Qiaoyue heard this, she was shocked. (To be continued......)
