Chapter 288: The choice of concubine is imminent
After Guan Yan escaped from Duke Chen's mansion, he hid in a secluded place in the countryside and recuperated for a long time.
During this period, he has been thinking about what method to use to save Lan Yuejiao from Duke Chen's mansion.
After thinking about it, he felt that for the sake of today's plan, he should go to Lin Miao to discuss and see if she had any way to rescue Lan Yuejiao.
When he came to King Lin's mansion, he saw the lights in the mansion and a beaming look.
When the porter saw him coming to find Lin Miao, he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no, now my young lady is preparing for the concubine selection ceremony of the six princes tomorrow, bathing and changing clothes, fasting for three days, and now it is the last day, I'm afraid I can't see you."
"Huh? The six princes choose their concubines, is it so soon? "Guan Yan has lived in the countryside for a long time, and he doesn't even know such an important thing.
The servant looked him up and down, if Guan Yan hadn't come to Lin Miao a few times before, he would really have to help him be driven out as an uninformed country master.
"Of course, now in the capital, no one knows, no one knows. You go to the street and look at those storefronts, they are all sprinkling and cleaning, cleaning up, preparing for tomorrow's concubine selection ceremony. ”
After saying this, the servant went about his own business, and did not bother with it anymore. Come to think of it, this person doesn't even know about such a big thing, and he is not a distinguished guest, so it won't have any effect if he neglects him.
Guan Yan was stunned for a moment, and then slowly left King Lin's mansion.
Are the six princes going to choose a concubine tomorrow? That thing about Yuejiao, I'm afraid. Only after this matter is over, then come to Lin Miao.
Just don't know, this time. Lan Yuejiao's life is in danger, there is no impact.
At this time, in King Lin's mansion, Lin Miao was preparing for tomorrow's concubine selection ceremony.
"Oh, this bead flower doesn't match this dress." Zhang Shuru picked the bead flower inserted on the head of Lin Miao and looked left and right. The look on his face looked very dissatisfied.
"Mother, I'll be tomorrow. Do you really want to wear this dress? Lin Miao stood up, turned around, and the elegant blue and white folded skirt on her body also drew a good-looking arc.
"Of course. This is the clothes that the Six Princes gave you. If you wear it, the Six Princes will be in the crowd and will be able to see you at first sight. When Zhang Shuru said this, she couldn't close her mouth with joy, as if she had already seen the scene tomorrow, Lin Miao was chosen by the six princes.
Lin Miao lowered her head, and her face flushed slightly. His hands also gently stroked the skirt, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked up a shy smile.
"That's right. What I've taught you during this time, you must remember. The details of the six princes' concubine selection ceremony must be paid special attention to, do you know? Zhang Shuru was still not very relieved, and couldn't help but admonish.
"I know, mother, during this time, you have been talking about this every day, I, my ears are calloused." Lin Miao said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate the details, today's most favored Concubine Mo was picked up by the emperor when she picked up the flower branch that fell to the side during the draft, and was looked at differently by the emperor."
"Yes, yes, and ah, this branch didn't fall for no reason, but someone arranged it beforehand, right? Mother, you've said this many times. Lin Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
What kind of concubine selection ceremony is this, this is simply an interview in the previous life.
In addition to the basic condition of being beautiful, you should also try your best to show your talents and virtues in front of the interviewer.
The eight characters, basic information and portraits of these candidates have all been handed over to the palace from their respective mansions earlier.
After several rounds of screening in the palace, some daughters of people with poor appearance, incompatibility, weak family power, or bad history have been eliminated in the palace.
Tomorrow is the final interview. It is to let the ladies who were screened in the previous rounds enter the palace and are personally selected by the queen mother.
If you encounter a fake character and portrait in the middle, you will be put in prison, and maybe the entire family will be implicated.
"Don't take my words as wind in your ears, I'm good for you."
Lin Miao held Zhang Shuru's hand with both hands and comforted, "Mother, I know, you are for my good, my daughter has taken these words to heart, don't worry." ”
Zhang Shuru sighed comfortably, hey, her daughter has finally recovered, and now, she is going to participate in the selection of concubines of the six princes again, and judging from the attitude of the six princes towards her, it is very likely that she will be selected as the princess.
How can this not make people happy?
"Oh, by the way, remember, in the last link, that is, after the Queen Mother is selected, a group of people will be left behind and enter the inner court. At this time, everyone sat in the middle of the hall, eating snacks and fruits, and said this to each other. At this time, don't be careless when you go, you don't have any manners, you know? Zhang Shuru felt that the more she came to the end, the more she was worried.
I was afraid that I didn't explain anything, so I asked Lin Miao to give a difference.
Lin Miao nodded, and replied with a smile, "I know, at this time, on the surface, everyone is sitting in the hall eating at will, but the six princes themselves are all through the curtain, quietly observing us from behind, right?" ”
"Yes. If he takes a fancy to a certain woman, he will arrange for his father-in-law to send out a token of affection. At this time, whether you are selected or not, don't lose your manners, you know? Because, before the selected girl entered the curtain and saw the six princes, it was still unknown. Zhang Shuru then said.
Lin Miao nodded, "I know, mother, you have also told me this several times, when the emperor chose a concubine before, there was a woman who was chosen, and she screamed in surprise on the spot, and took it, and the love token was transferred to another person, and it changed hands." ”
Lin Miao was really a little suspicious, how could Zhang Shuru and the others know about these things in the inner palace in such detail?
Maybe it's hearsay, just a rumor.
However, in this case, Lin Miao must not say it in front of Zhang Shuru, otherwise, she will not only break her heart, but also be scolded by her for being rebellious.
So, she just listened obediently, and then kept responding, remembering it herself.
"Also, after getting up early tomorrow, you can't eat, you can only rinse your mouth with new tea and tea, so as not to have a cloudy breath and offend the six princes."
"Mother, I remember everything, you can rest assured."
At this time, in the Chen Gong's Mansion, Liu Qiaoyue's room was also a lively and jubilant scene. (To be continued......)
