Princess Qin smiled contentedly, very satisfied with the sons in front of her who wished her birthday.

The same kowtow to the birthday, different congratulatory messages, suddenly heard nothing, but can definitely tell which son is biological.

Jiang Luyao glanced at the prince of Qin, well, he is not the poor original concubine who was oppressed or deceived by his stepmother in the novel!

Children who grow up in the palace are not qualified to be naïve.

Kneeling in front of a row of handsome young men, the original son-in-law, concubine, and biological son...... They used their existence to remind Princess Qin, your husband has other women! The prince of Qin and the second son of King Qin reminded Princess Qin to step up and arrange the path for her biological son in the future!

Or kill the prince of Qin, or find another way!

No wonder ancient women didn't live long, so they didn't mention the intrigue in the inner house, just looking at the sons born to other people's husbands...... They all have to live short for three years!

Seeing Jiang Luzhu's love falling on the prince of Qin, Jiang Luyao took advantage of her grandmother's whispered conversation with others, and she quietly slipped out of the flower hall.

There are many young ladies who come to the Qin Palace's birthday celebrations, and no matter how big the flower hall is, it can't sit down so many people.

And not everyone is qualified to meet Princess Qin.

The Qin Palace's entire garden was opened, and servants came and went to take care of the needs of the guests.

Rare and exotic plants bloomed in the palace garden, the flower hall and pavilion were full of wives and young ladies with fragrant clothes and sideburns, Jiang Luyao blended in among the young ladies who could not meet Princess Qin, listened to the gossip, enjoyed the scenery of the garden, and felt much lighter.

Someone stepped forward to ask Jiang Luyao's background, and Jiang Luyao said confidently, "My father is a five-grade foreigner!" ”

These young ladies who were left out in the cold and eager to squeeze into the flower hall regarded her as the daughter of an idle petty official who had sneaked into the Qin Palace, and quickly accepted her, but few people would pay attention to Jiang Luyao, who was dressed plainly and looked raw!

She sat in the gazebo, drinking tea, sometimes eating two fruits, admiring the peonies in the garden...... Among the exotic flowers and plants, Jiang Luyao's favorite is peony, and there are many precious varieties of peonies planted in Qinwangfu, many of which are difficult for Jiang Luyao to see.

For example, the flower branches are soft, the flower heads are drooping, and the drunken concubine is drunk; The peony pistil in the west is green in the center of the flower, surrounded by dark purple multi-layer petals, like a green dragon lying in the center of the ink pool, so it is called the green dragon lying in the ink pool.

During this period, some ladies mentioned the marriage contract between the Marquis of Yongning and the prince of Qin, and the tone was all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, after all, there were not many people in the Marquis of Yongning Mansion except for the old lady Jiamin, the county lord.

In particular, the second master's 'nonsense' can be regarded as famous in the capital, and some people discuss who inherited the title of Marquis of Yongning, and guessed which Miss Fang would come to the princess of King Qin.

Jiang Chengyi was excluded by everyone, and no one believed in the negative teaching materials, and Jiang Chengyi, who was the representative of the second goods, could inherit the title!

Impatient with others gossiping about her father, Jiang Luyao walked out of the pavilion, walked around the garden, and came to a girl with a good face and a red mole on her eyebrows, she spoke first: "You are the second lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion." ”

"......" Jiang Luyao looked surprised, and she continued, "I just saw you in the flower hall. ”

"You also came out of the flower hall?"

"I'm not like you...... There's no place for me. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl smiled at the corner of her lips, and said with a playful and somewhat self-deprecating smile: "I am just a distant relative of the Marquis of Guangning, and I went to the Marquis of Guangning with my brother, and I came to the Qinwang Mansion by chance today." ”

"Since we are distant relatives of the Marquis of Guangning, we ...... is also a relative, my girlfriend's name is Lu Yao. ”

"My surname is Xiao, and my girlfriend's name is Zhuohua."

Xiao Zhuohua, good name! She smells of burning, IKEA.

Jiang Luyao had a good impression of the quiet and self-contained girl in front of her, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou of Guangning and my grandmother are sisters, can I call you Cousin Xiao?" ”

Although Jiang Luyao is a human being in two lives, she can call a girl older than herself as her sister without any scruples.

Xiao Zhuohua returned to the salute with kindness, "Then I'm welcome, Cousin Jiang." ”

Some people can't get along for a lifetime, some people can become confidants just by one side, two young ladies who sneaked out of the flower hall met in the peony, and the blooming peony reflected their young and delicate faces.

"Cousin Xiao lives in the Marquis Mansion of Guangning?"

"My brother and I rented a small courtyard in the capital, and Mrs. Tai left us to live in the Hou Mansion, but my brother ...... He came to Beijing not to join his relatives, but to take the imperial examination! ”

"Brother Ling is a lifter?"

"My brother is Jiangnan Township Trial Xie Yuan!" Xiao Zhuohua showed a little pride on his face, "When it comes to Xiao Shihua, there are few people in Jiangnan who haven't heard of it, my parents died early, and now my brother lives together, and my brother goes to Beijing to take the exam, I can't bear to be separated from my brother, so I followed, and ...... I'm also a show girl to be selected. ”

Show girl?

Jiang Luyao thought of the folk customs of the Ming Dynasty, and there was indeed a draft, but the draft was not for the emperor to recruit a harem, but to choose an innocent young lady as a princess, the county lord's companion or a female official in the palace.

Don't underestimate female officials, most female officials are destined for the side concubines of the prince, or the concubines of the emperor's harem.

Xiao Zhuohua is only a distant relative, but he can come to the Qin Palace, with the Marquis of Guangning...... Jiang Luyao couldn't help but guess, was it because of Xiao Zhuohua or Xiao Zhuohua's brother? can solve Yuan in Jiangnan Wenhua Land High School, and break out of the reputation of iron and silver hooks, her brother must be a capable person.

According to the general situation analysis, the probability of Xie Yuan's imperial examination in Jiangnan Township is very high, and the person who is a show girl must have an innocent family background and a scholarly ...... Jiang Luyao said: "Is Cousin Xiao going to enter the palace as a female official or as a princess's companion?" ”

"I don't have Qingyunzhi, I don't hide it from Cousin Jiang, I just hope that I can lose the election, this time I joined the Marquis of Guangning Mansion for this matter, and the female official and companion are not what I want."

"With the arrival of Mrs. Guangning Houfu, Cousin Xiao will definitely achieve her wish."

Jiang Luyao thought of her brother, who had not yet passed the children's examination at the age of eighteen, and said enviously: "Brother Ling is Xie Yuan, I don't know if I still have the pen and ink when I took the exam?" ”

“…… Cousin Jiang is going to ......"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I also have a brother, but I can't compare with Brother Ling, who has excellent literary talents, and today I fell in love with Cousin Xiao, so I had the courage to ask for Xiao Jieyuan's pen and ink, thinking of getting a good fortune with this! I don't ask my brother to be like Xiao Jieyuan, I just want him to be famous! ”

Jiang Chengyi is Enmeng's official position, it is difficult for Jiang Minjin to go through Enmeng again, he has a reputation for Xiucai, in case he gets into trouble in the future and is arrested and sent to the Yamen, the officials of the Yamen will not dare to be punished easily, Xiucai's reputation is a very good talisman!

Jiang Luyao consciously felt that her requirements were already very low.

"Brother Ling didn't pass the boys' exam?"

"Cousin Xiao just came to the capital, and I didn't know that my brother was not a piece of reading material...... So I thought about using Xiao Xie Yuan's talent ......"

"The pen and ink used by my brother when he solved the yuan in high school is still there, if Cousin Jiang wants it, I will have someone send it to you another day, but I thought there was a trick to the boy's test......"

"What's the trick, good sister, tell me quickly."

Jiang Luyao enthusiastically grabbed Xiao Zhuohua's arm, her enthusiasm made Xiao Zhuohua, who has always been indifferent, at a loss, she had never seen a woman like Jiang Luyao, obviously she should be very sensible, and she knew the height of her eyebrows and eyes, how could she suddenly burst out with so much enthusiasm at this time?

"Cousin Jiang...... Don't get too excited. ”

"When I met a master today, I refused to let go of Cousin Xiao. Cousin doesn't know how much effort I put into my brother who doesn't like to read? I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes, my brother yo, he sleeps with a book...... The second room has always stood aside in the Hou Mansion, although my grandmother has the heart to take care of my brother, but my brother is too angry, and nothing good can fall on him, but although my brother is not very good at school, he has an excellent temperament, filial piety to his parents, and love me. ”

Jiang Luyao directly called Xiao Zhuohua her cousin, in addition to appearing close, she first pulled the relationship, Xiao Zhuohua couldn't wipe her face and didn't help.

In the past, she also heard that the test show has a trick, and even heard that the exam has a certain format, although Jiang Luyao is a test bully-style character in modern times, and she must pass the exam, but in the Ming Dynasty, she doesn't know Bagu, nor does she know classical Chinese!

Even if she has all the strength to do it, she can't start with the eight strands of the person, and let Jiang Minjin recite the model text of the past year, but the effect is not good, Jiang Minjin has fallen several times, and Jiang Luyao has lost confidence in his career now.

I accidentally met a master in the Qin Wangfu today, hum, the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family don't plan to get rid of her easily, they are cheeky and begging to go to the door, Jiang Luyao also wants to get the cheats for passing the exam!

Xiao Zhuohua was at a loss by Jiang Luyao's enthusiasm, and asked in wonder: "How can you say that your brother is also the son of the Hou Mansion, as for having to take the road of the imperial examination?" ”

Even if the second room is on the side, it is very easy for the prince of the Hou Mansion to get a grace and donate to the Guozijian, why not learn from the poor students to take the road of the imperial examination in a proper manner?

"My brother is not suitable for entering the Guozijian ......" Jiang Luyao is not unwilling to give Jiang Minjin the silver donated by the cashier, but now the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian ...... Her lovely, second-handed, invincible father once beat up the country's priest wine!

Send Jiang Minjin to Guozi Prison, he will definitely die an ugly death, who said that scholars are not small-bellied? Guozi Priest Wine once wrote a mocking poem, alluding to Jiang Chengyi's ignorance of learning!

Of course, in Jiang Luyao's opinion, the wine of the Guozi Festival is written with poetry...... Jiang Chengyi can't understand it at all! It's better to point at Jiang Chengyi's nose and scold him.

"This is not the place to talk." Xiao Zhuohua smiled and held Jiang Luyao's arm, she is also a sister who has paid a lot for her brother, and she is worried about her brother's future, so although Jiang Luyao is a little too enthusiastic, Xiao Zhuohua understands Jiang Luyao and is very considerate of her, "In two days, if Cousin Jiang is free, you can come to my house, my brother is the real master...... He summed up a set of test-taking techniques in Jiangnan, which may be able to be used by his brother. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll be free tomorrow, I wonder if I can come and visit?" Jiang Luyao's eyes were fiery and bright.

“…… I'm waiting for Cousin Jiang at home! ”
