Both Shengyu and He Shengliang, Chu Zhen'er has the deepest experience in half of his life. She will never be able to win against that woman, and the day she is there, Chu Zhen'er will live in a day of pain.

That year, Chu Zhen'er was only fifteen years old, but she met the nemesis of her fate.

The Chu family has a woman who has just grown up, and her appearance is better than that of Xizi, and she is only amazing to Wenjun, and she has undoubtedly become the object of competition among the children of famous families. The matchmakers who came one after another gradually took Shangshufu to the vermilion lacquer door railing and stepped out of the missing notes; But these marriage matchmakers came and returned with excitement, and no one said anything about the heart of this young lady of the Chu family.

Beauty is like jade, the more you shout the price, the more coveted it is. Gradually, the children of the officials and nobles in Lin'an City were proud to be able to see Chu Zhen'er's true face, and some literati and writers occasionally echoed some sour poems and astringent words to express their admiration in their hearts.

It is difficult to tell who the flowers are, but at this time, there was news that the crown prince Zhao Tuan had selected a side concubine, which undoubtedly became a hot topic in the world. However, someone with a heart linked this Miss Chu family with the prince's selection of a side concubine, which showed a slight clue: This Miss Chu family has not been married for a long time, and I am afraid that she is quite high-spirited, looking forward to flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix.

The supreme glory of the family and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity naturally pushed Chu Zhen'er to the crown prince's choice of concubine. In the face of the gossip in the city, Chu Zhen'er, whose heart is higher than the sky, responded calmly, calmed his mind and practiced his talents diligently, vowing to take the lead in this grand event of choosing a concubine and become a dragon and phoenix among people.

But the Great Song Dynasty is thousands of miles away, how can she be more than a standout? ! When Chu Zhen'er saw that woman for the first time, her arrogant career came to an end, and she understood what it meant to have someone outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky.

Huo Xiaoyu. A shadow that she will not be able to shake off for the rest of her life.

Huo Xiaoyu was born in Huizhou, and his grandfather Huo Dingbang was a fierce general stationed in Jinzhou Fortress, and was awarded the title of "General of Breaking Capture" during the first emperor's reign. The Huo family is loyal. As early as Huo Xiaoyu's childhood, his parents died on the battlefield for resisting the invasion of the Jin soldiers; In order to keep the thin bloodline of the Huo family, General Huo Xiaoyu fostered Huo Xiaoyu in the Huizhou clan family, and did not continue his parents' legacy.

And in the years of literature and pottery, this family of military generals has raised a talented young lady, but it has been criticized and ridiculed by many people.

This time, the prince selected the side concubine, and Huo Xiaoyu naturally fell into the selection as a descendant of the Huo family. And Huo Dingbang had some friendship with Chu Shangshu in his early years. The choice of concubine is imminent, and General Huo Lao has no time to be stationed at the border all the year round, so he can only entrust his granddaughter to Shangshu Mansion to take care of him. I hope that my granddaughter can survive this selection safely.

And there is a providence in the dark, and Chu Shangshu never expected that Huo Xiaoyu, who had just arrived, would become the biggest stumbling block on his daughter's way forward.

After the "first selection", 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 18 submitted their reports. At this time, there were already about 100 people left. At this time, the two women in the Chu Shangshu Mansion were both selected in the first round of screening. In the near future, he will enter the palace to participate in the second round of "fine selection", and compete for the ten best candidates for the side concubine for the prince's "palace selection". In order to let his daughter get her wish, Chu Shangshu also spent a lot of thought on this matter, with the help of the relationship between his son Chu Feng and Rongwang Zhao Zhenyuan, he wanted to have a "near the water and get the moon first", threading the needle for his daughter and the prince, but it was counterproductive if he didn't want to.

Just the day before the "fine selection", Chu Shangshu organized a unique "poetry meeting" in Xishan, and invited young talents in Ancheng to compete in poetry and talent. Of course. Chu Shangshu took such painstaking efforts to naturally know that the Prince's Palace had always been eager to seek talents, and if he learned that such a grand event was held in the city, he would definitely not miss it. is thinking about arranging a "coincidence" for his daughter and the prince at that time, and believes that Chu Zhen'er's appearance and talent will definitely win the favor of the prince.

Huo Xiaoyu has never been interested in chasing fame and fortune. On the day of the "Poetry and Literature Meeting", Chu Zhener used her sisterhood to lure Huo Xiaoyu to the "Lingyin Temple" for incense, so as to clear the way for herself and the prince to get along. But people are not as good as the sky, who would have expected that the "Poetry and Literature Club" had just been carried out for a short and half a day and suddenly fell in heavy rain, and the prince Zhao Tuan, who led his brother Zhao Zhenyuan to the "Poetry and Literature Club", was poured into a soup chicken by the heavy rain; In addition, the mountain road was slippery and muddy at this time, and it was dangerous to forcibly go up the mountain, so the two brothers could only go home. On the way back, in order to avoid the unprepared heavy rain, the two of them ran to the "Lingyin Temple" for temporary shelter.

At this time, Huo Xiaoyu, who was also unable to return due to heavy rain, sat calmly in the corner of the "Miaofa Palace", carefully transcribing the signing document and waiting for the mountain rain to pass. The wind and rain outside didn't seem to affect Huo Xiaoyu's contemplation, while comparing the Buddhist scriptures at hand, while neatly writing the signature on the blank Buddha sign.

In this secluded ancient temple, just a glance back, the prince Zhao Tuan saw Huo Xiaoyu, who was as elegant as an orchid, and his heart was connected, and suddenly Zhao Tuan was attracted by her focused temperament.

Zhao Tuan didn't pay much attention to how shocking Huo Xiaoyu's appearance was, but was caught by her beautiful handwriting; Appreciating the reincarnation back and forth in silence, Huo Xiaoyu clinged to Su Hao and dipped the ink in the inkstone back and forth, and unconsciously dried the ink.

Su Hao in his hand was about to dip it into the inkstone, and Zhao Tuan, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately reminded Huo Xiaoyu.

"Girl, there is no ink in the inkstone."

A reminder suddenly interrupted Huo Xiaoyu's concentration, and he raised his chin slightly to look at the side, but saw a handsome young man who was soaked all over his body standing beside him, Huo Xiaoyu also straightened up suddenly, and asked shyly.

"Childe is"

"Don't misunderstand, girl, I suddenly encountered mountain rain on the way to play, so I went to this temple to take refuge temporarily. I don't want to see the girl transcribing the Buddha sign here, so I pay more attention to it when I am curious, I don't know if it disturbs the girl? ”

"Oh, let Childe see it."

The slender hand as bright as jade immediately covered the handwriting on the Buddha sign, Huo Xiaoyu's blushing cheeks suddenly rippled with a shallow smile, and her beautiful and unparalleled face matched Huo Xiaoyu's demure temperament, and suddenly slammed it in Zhao Yuan's heart.

He has seen many women with outstanding appearance, but when he first saw a woman who could cause Zhao Tuan to be in a big upset, Huo Xiaoyu was still the first person in the world.

The idea of love at first sight is too absurd, but now this heart-pounding feeling has made the prince fall into a state of speechlessness; Probably because he was afraid that he would speak abruptly and leave a frivolous impression in the heart of the woman in front of him.

Huo Xiaoyu also noticed the strangeness in Zhao Tuan's eyes at this time, but out of the woman's reserve, he didn't dare to look more, so he lowered his gaze a little, but he didn't want to put the sleeves of his dripping clothes into his eyes.

Out of kindness, Huo Xiaoyu still reminded.

"Childe is now soaking wet, so let's hurry up and go to the meditation room to find a monk to borrow a set of monk's robes to change, so as not to be infected with the wind and cold."

I was about to point out the location of the meditation room to the prince, but I didn't want a figure to appear in front of the door of the "Wonderful Law Palace", Huo Xiaoyu hadn't seen the appearance of the person who came, and he didn't want to come but took the lead in calling himself.

"Second brother, the clothes are borrowed from Sister Yu, why are you here?!"

At this time, Zhao Zhenyuan, who was dressed in a monk's robe, ran into the hall in a hurry, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an extra woman beside his second brother for no reason, and after a closer look, he found that it was Huo Xiaoyu, and he was also surprised by this scene.

"Zhenyuan?!"

Huo Xiaoyu, who also saw the appearance of the person who came clearly, was also shocked. However, with a flash of inspiration in his mind, Huo Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhenyuan had just called the son next to him "second brother", and as he thought about it deeply, the thoughts that flashed in Huo Xiaoyu's mind at the next moment were suddenly shocking!

Second brother, is he the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince?! Suddenly in awe, Huo Xiaoyu hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhao Tuan.

"Huo Xiaoyu, a folk girl, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Your name is Huo Xiaoyu?!"

Zhao Tuan was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect his brother Zhao Zhenyuan to know this girl, and she could deduce her identity from just a few words, the prince would inevitably wonder what this woman was.

However, before Huo Xiaoyu could answer, Zhao Zhenyuan, who stepped forward, helped her out.

"Second brother, why did you let Sister Yu kneel on the ground?! She is Huo Xiaoyu, the granddaughter of General Huo" There is another paragraph at the end, Zhao Zhenyuan seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to speak in front of Huo Xiaoyu, so he hurriedly leaned into the prince's ear and whispered: "Second brother, this is the sister Yu I wanted to introduce you to before." ”

"Oh? The girl turned out to be the granddaughter of General Huo?! I have always admired the name of the old general Huo, and I don't want to see his descendants here, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives. Hearing this reason, the prince's face suddenly relaxed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it."

With a red face, Huo Xiaoyu didn't know how to break through this predicament, so he could only continue to kneel in front of the two brothers with his head down. And the clever Zhao Zhenyuan gently turned Zhao Tuan with his elbow and whispered in his ear.

"How long do you let Sister Yu kneel? Hurry up and help people up. ”

Zhao Tuan, who had become wooden for a while, also smirked, and hurriedly bowed down to support Huo Xiaoyu, and said softly.

"Miss Huo doesn't have to be formal, this is not the inner courtyard of the palace, there are not so many rules."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your magnanimity."

Between his demeanor, Huo Xiaoyu felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart, and for a while he couldn't guess what the condescending prince was thinking, so he could only let the scene stalemate in this support. And Zhao Zhenyuan's wit was undiminished, and seeing that the two were in a stalemate, he hurriedly eased the atmosphere.

"Sister Yu, why didn't you go to the 'Poetry and Literature Club', and stayed in this 'Lingyin Temple'. Got something on your mind? ”

This question invisibly knocked down Huo Xiaoyu. Can she say that she came to the incense for the prince's selection of concubines? Obviously, this matter cannot be in front of the prince, lest the other party think that he is a woman with ulterior motives.

"It's just a little homesick, come here to ask for peace of mind; The abbot of Lingyin Temple's eyes are not good, and the mountain rain does not stop, so I took the way to replace the old Buddha sign in the temple. ”

"I don't think it's that simple, Sister Yu. Is it because you are worried that tomorrow's 'fine selection' will not be selected? ”

"Why! Don't guess Zhenyuan."

"Don't worry, Sister Yu, I guarantee that the second brother has seen you today, and tomorrow's 'Jingxuan' will definitely be selected! I'm looking forward to you becoming my second sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Zhenyuan is also noisy enough, regardless of proportion, he stabbed this matter, one is a show girl on the roster, and the other is the prince palace who is to marry a beauty, and the atmosphere of the two is even more cramped. (To be continued......)
