When I returned to Yang's Mansion, a thin layer of snowflakes had been laid on the ground. Under the thick felt hat of the gatekeeper's head, no one noticed that the seven girls were not wearing the same cloak when they went out and when they came back. Yulan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Back in Lujingzhai, Mother Qian and Xiaoyu had been waiting for a long time. Yulan changed her clothes and went to see the old lady and the eldest lady first. The old lady was tired, so she only asked two questions and asked her to go to see the eldest lady. The eldest lady has been busy with Yuxin's draft these days, and she is so busy that her heel hits the back of her head, where does she have time to pay attention to Yulan, and symbolically met her and asked her to go back.

Yulan himself didn't expect to pass the test so easily.

When it was time to settle in the evening, Xiaoyu finally found the wound on her shoulder, Yulan had to tell her about today's events for a long time and a short time, Xiaoyu was shocked and shocked when she heard it, and on the one hand, she tactfully persuaded her to find the best gold sore medicine.

When the little prince returned to the palace, he was firmly watched by Concubine Hui, and even Xiao Hanzi was eaten and hung up, and was beaten by Concubine Hui for twenty boards, and he couldn't get out of bed for a while. The little prince was very righteous, and he insisted on hiding the fact that Yulan traveled with him, and several people accompanying him were his henchmen, and he gave a gag order, so naturally no one would go out and talk nonsense. Even Ye Fengqi sternly ordered the people below not to leak the Yulan matter.

That day, Concubine Hui cried and went to see the emperor, and the emperor was shocked and angry when he heard it. Ordered the criminal department to enter the palace overnight, and immediately ordered the criminal department to be appointed as the Zhengqin mission, and the criminal department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three legal divisions of the Dali Temple will try the case. Ye Fengqi also handed over the prisoner to the prison of the Criminal Department.

He Ao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately sent a shrewd and capable director of the Ministry to personally torture the prisoners, and the three law divisions were busy for months, and several clues all faintly pointed to the prince. He Ao was frightened and did not dare to investigate again, so he reported to the orthodox emperor overnight, and the emperor did not say a word for a long time.

A few days later, the case was hastily closed, and only the black-clad assassin Ling Chi was executed, without mentioning the person behind it. As a result, the reaction of all parties was mixed, and the prince immediately asked to see his father, pointing out that he was framed by someone on the day of the oath and would never murder his brother, and the emperor also gently comforted a few words, only saying that he had never believed in this matter, so he sent him out.

The emperor also didn't believe that this matter was done by the prince, because it was impossible for the little prince Ye Minzhao to inherit the throne alone, and the prince wanted to assassinate and should kill him first, and Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao, was a threat.

Two days later, when the emperor came to the Yongshou Palace, Emperor Xiao Guifei said very vaguely: The murderer of the little prince is likely to be the prince. It is precisely because everyone, including the emperor, thinks that it is impossible for the prince to make a move, so he will act blatantly, because then even if he is exposed, he can bridge the gap. In history, there are not a few people who killed their brothers and even their fathers in order to become emperors, and the emperor must not be deceived by others! The imperial concubine cried and said: If the prince succeeds this time, I am afraid that it will be her son King Zhao's turn to be assassinated next. Their mother and son have never thought about it, why does the prince refuse to let them go! The emperor must be the master of their mother and son!

The emperor was originally a person who did not have any opinions, and when he was blown by the pillow wind, he immediately became suspicious again, and he was a little more defensive and wary of the prince.

In the palace of the central court, Yulan does not know how to do these things. She only knew that as the draft approached, the eldest lady didn't even care about the marriage of the four girls, and the price only revolved around the eight girls all day, and the queen mother sent two strict grandmothers to teach Yuxin the etiquette in the palace, how to walk every step of the way, how to eat every bite of food, how to salute when you see people, the cumbersome rules make people collapse, the eight girls want to pick a child several times, but the old grandmothers in the palace are all human sperm, and they are used to training people, the eight girls are still young, how to fight them!

Therefore, she went to Lu Jingzhai to complain when she was free, and Yulan couldn't help but secretly stumble when she heard the methods of the grandmothers.

Compared with the Yang Mansion, the Hubu Shangshu is also too busy to take care of his head, the Queen Mother asked him to complete the draft ceremony in half of the previous time, he should go through the procedure, there should be etiquette, can he not have a headache?

It's just that Da Chu is full of talents, and there are too many people staring at the position of the six Shangshu, and there are conditions to go up, and there are no conditions to create conditions to go up! On February 20, the triennial draft ceremony officially began. Early in the morning, the ladies of each family took a carriage to the outside of the Shenwu Gate, waited for the palace gate to open and got off, and the eunuchs in the palace guided them to enter the Shunzhen Gate in order. The carriage of the Yang family also drove into the Shenwu Gate with Yuxin's dreams and longings.

In the draft, in addition to selecting the palace concubine to enrich the harem for the emperor, another important responsibility is to select the right wife for the children of the clan. Everyone knows that the emperor of the harem is as beautiful as a cloud, and the emperor has become addicted to broken sleeves in recent years, and the demand for palace concubines is not as great as when he was young! This time it was for several princes to choose concubines.

If it weren't for King Zhao, he would also be among the concubines. How could Yu Xin be willing to enter the Forbidden City as a candidate.

The draft is a strict and complicated procedure, regardless of appearance and temperament, Yuxin is already very outstanding, plus "there is silver on it", it will be very easy to kill people all the way through the finals!

After three or four rounds of screening, the remaining show girls are all the elites of the elite - not necessarily sinking the fish and falling into the goose and closing the moon and being ashamed, but the family background must be overwhelming!

At this point, there are only sixteen show girls left. Yu Xin looked at it and found an acquaintance - Xiao Yunqian, the tenth girl of the Jinghai Hou Mansion.

The two have met several times in the social circle of the capital since the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Jinghai, and the more they look at each other, the more unpleasant they become. At this time, the two looked at each other, and fierce sparks immediately burst out in the air.

They were all the same arrogant, glaring at each other viciously, and both of them didn't start. At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the eunuch sang loudly: "The queen mother has arrived!" The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! Emperor Xiao Guifei has arrived! The eldest princess of Rongshou has arrived! ...... "According to the usual practice, in the final stage of the draft, in addition to the participation of royal people, some women with high status and internal and external lives are often invited to participate.

The show girls were like wheat blown by the wind, and suddenly knelt on the ground. The boots sounded, and the old queen mother trembled and entered the Tiren Palace. A row of thrones was set up in the hall on the south side and back to the north, and the queen mother and the emperor and queen ascended to the throne, and gave the seats to the women inside and outside.

Sixteen female eunuchs led the three shouts of long live, and met the queen mother, the emperor and empress, and many high-ranking wives. A gentle voice was heard: "Get up!" ”

The show girls slowly got up in accordance with the requirements of court etiquette, Tianyan was close at hand, everyone was very nervous, their palms were sweaty, for fear of a little mistake, they all lowered their heads, only Yuxin was bold, she took advantage of the empty time, flew to Lu Shang and glanced at it, only to see the three thrones in the middle, and the queen mother sat in the middle, she had seen it. The queen mother wore a wind crown and a pearl, but the whole person was very thin, her face was sallow and revealing an unhealthy red, and she was wearing a luxurious phoenix robe, and the bright color had completely suppressed people.

The Queen Mother may not have a few days to live, and even Yuxin, who is not very good at observing words and colors, has come to such a conclusion.

Sitting on the left hand of the Queen Mother is the emperor. The orthodox emperor looks to be about forty years old, his skin is very white, although he is not very old, but his perennial indulgence has long hollowed out his body, although he has inherited the high-quality genetic genes of the royal family, but the bags under his eyes are loose, his eyes are blank, and he looks like a fat uncle with a fat belly at this time.

The queen sat on the right hand side of the queen mother, the queen was about the same age as the orthodox emperor, if the appearance could barely be regarded as Zhou Zheng, although the phoenix crown was gorgeous, but there was no majesty at all, but it looked a little cramped. Compared with the first gorgeous costume Baochai Xiao Huang Guifei, whether in appearance or bearing, it is more than one grade worse.

Yu Xin's eyes and the nobles spun around quickly, and sure enough, behind the emperor and queen stood a group of princes and disciples of the clan, and standing in the middle was naturally the crown prince Ye Minshu. Yu Xin ignored the prince, and his eyes fell directly on a young man with a long body, although he was not as gentle as Ye Minchun, nor as arrogant and evil as Ye Yichen, and even as handsome as Ye Fengqi, but he had a tiger-like and heroic spirit.

Zhao Wang Ye Minyu! Yu Xin's eyes lit up immediately.

King Zhao stood behind his father and queen mother very easily, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, but he didn't care at all, he still had a slightly cold smile on his face, seeing Yuxin's eyes swept over, he cracked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Somehow, Yu Xin's face seemed to be cooked shrimp, and she immediately turned red. Always strong and brutal, she hung her head shyly.

At that moment, Yuxin felt that her draft was not in vain.

When Yuxin was in a fugue, the emperor had already coughed lightly and said, "Raise your heads and let me and the Queen Mother take a look!" The show girls looked up as they said. The emperor's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, Yu Xin and Xiao Yunqian's faces stayed for a moment, and slowly spoke, first saying an opening remark, and then saying; "The draft is the law of our dynasty, the ancestral system. You are all famous families, gentle and prudent, you are the best among the women in the boudoir, and your grandfather and father all serve the imperial court...... The selection of show girls is not for my own selfishness, but for the sake of several princes and royal relatives to choose concubines and concubines, you must know! This selection, whether it is successful or not, will never delay your future......"

Although the women below didn't say anything, they were all relieved when they heard this, after all, compared to a few young and handsome princes, although the emperor's position is respected, he is not young, and the ladies are all pretty, and they still like those potential stocks.

The emperor had a lot of balabala, and all the beautiful girls couldn't listen to it, and when he finished speaking, the emperor turned to the queen mother and said, "Please also ask the queen mother to show me!" ”

The Queen Mother rushed here to choose a concubine for the crown prince with her sick body, and after doing this, she could close her eyes and go to see Emperor Taizong peacefully. In fact, there is a dragon burning in the Tiren Palace, which is warm in spring, but the Queen Mother feels that her whole body is cold, and her body is already trembling slightly, but she has been strong all her life and does not want to show timidity in front of her juniors, so she still insists and says: "The emperor said it was very good!" The mourning family has nothing to add, if the queen has nothing to say, I think this will begin! ”

The queen originally prepared a large number of speeches, wanting to admonish the women, but seeing this scene, she had something to say, and she didn't dare to say anything. She bowed and said, "This palace is all under the orders of the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother coughed a few times, finally stopped coughing, and said energetically: "Prince He?" Zhao Wanghe? ”

The crown prince and King Zhao knelt in front of the hall and said together: "Grandson! ”

"Since today is for you to choose a few concubines, the two of you will take the lead, and each of you will choose a show girl to be your concubine." Turning to the emperor, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you think so?" ”

The emperor said: "The queen mother is so well arranged! Naturally, the queen had no objections.

The queen mother instructed the eunuch to take two jade ruyi, give it to the prince and the king of Zhao one hand, and said kindly: "Go, which girl you like, give her this jade Ruyi!" ”

The crown prince and King Zhao are different from each other, so naturally the prince should be chosen first. King Zhao made a gesture of invitation and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" ”

The crown prince Ye Minshu knows that this draft has already gone through countless games, in fact, he and Princess Zhao have all been decided, if he is the eighth girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the tenth girl of the Hou Mansion Xiao of the Zhao Mansion. This draft is of course very important to him, but since everyone has their own needs and there is no conflict, then he is also happy to make an elder brother humble gesture in front of the queen mother's father, thinking of this, he pretended to smile and said: "Fourth brother, I am the elder brother, you are the younger brother, or you invite first!" ”

How do you know that King Zhao just made a sloppy eye, and when it was the prince's words, the corners of his mouth pulled a mocking smile: "Since this is the case, my younger brother has trespassed!" ”

took the jade Ruyi and stepped forward. He walked past the show girls one by one, the eyes of the show girls flickered, the throne of Zhao was high and powerful, and he was more heroic than the crown prince, and the show girls had a lot of secret autumn waves. King Zhao first stopped in front of Xiao Yunqian. remembered that his mother had told him to choose Xiao Yunqian as his concubine no matter what. A sneer appeared on his face again.

He knows this cousin very well, and his means are less than one-tenth of his mother's, but he is arrogant and domineering, and he has regarded himself as his wife since he was a child. He and the crown prince competed for the throne, and did need the support of the outside family, but she was spoiled by this, last year he laughed with his personal maid on a whim, and she cried and sued the concubine, so that the maid was charged with seducing the prince and was beaten to death by Concubine Xiao. At this point, King Zhao can be said to be extremely disgusted with this cousin. If such a person marries back to the palace, what good life can he have!

Before he came, he had been persuaded by his mother concubine, and was ready to endure his grievances, gritted his teeth and married her home, after all, the concubine didn't like to be replaced in the future, and if the throne was gone, everything would be over. But at this time, seeing her looking at her unscrupulously, her eyes were full of pride, and Ye Minyu suddenly felt disgusted!

He and the Xiao family support each other, and the relationship between prosperity and loss may not be what he asks the Xiao family. His surname is Ye, and his body is full of the blood of the noble royal family in the world.

A hint of mockery flashed in Ye Minyu's eyes, and she walked past Xiao Yunqian without stopping. Xiao Yunqian's city mansion was not deep, and his face had become pale as paper in an instant. Even Concubine Xiao Guifei's hand shaking the tea bowl trembled. The Queen Mother and Empress also changed color slightly.

No one knows what His Royal Highness King Zhao, who has a very personality in Lu Dao, is going to do! The prince had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and he regretted that he had a lot of things just now, so why pretend to let him choose first.

King Zhao slowed down and slowly paced to Yuxin's side. Yu Xin has been thirteen years old in the past year, and she is more than thirteen years old, and the cardamom tips are in early February, even if you compare the color, Yuxin is better than Xiao Yunqian. He had only met Yuxin once or twice, but she said: "Your dog almost bit me, I didn't let you apologize to me, why should I give you a salute!" That delicate and stubborn look was deeply rooted in his heart, and he often remembered it in his heart. He later found someone to investigate quietly, this girl is willful, but she has a good heart, and she is very generous to her subordinates. Compared with Xiao Yunqian's viciousness and meanness, Yang Ba girl is a hundred times stronger?

This is the queen mother's choice of a good concubine for the prince! Does the prince really like her? He knew that in order to invite the hearts of the people, the prince of Lu Dao pretended to be a humble gentleman on the surface, claiming that he had never been contaminated with women, but in private, he kept a large number of stunning women, and even asked people to collect a few Persian and Franc foreign beauties!

He takes a fancy to it, but it's just the help of the Yang family!

A girl like her is just a political victim!

King Zhao unconsciously stopped beside Yu Xin, and a pair of tiger eyes shot strong feelings, looking at Yu Xin fixedly. Yu Xin had already raised her head, her face was flushed with excitement, she just hoped to participate in the draft, but when she saw King Zhao's eyes, she knew that King Zhao did not have a good impression of her.

Yu Xin looked at him bravely, those beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, so affectionate, she slowly stretched out her hand, King Zhao was looked at by her like that, his mind was hot, and the ghost sent Yu Ruyi to her.

Tiren Hall was silent for a moment. The crown prince and the queen turned pale! First, Emperor Xiao and Concubine Xiao took the case: "Emperor, you are messing around!" ”

The Queen Mother also stood up with a pale face, and was about to say something, when she fell down in front of her.

The author has something to say: "There is silver on it", silver is a dialect, not silver, it is "there are people on it"~

I didn't write it out during the National Day, but I made up for it today, and I :-D have to double it once!
