Yang Lan lightly dipped in ink, took a full breath, and began to write on the rice paper quickly.

Wrote four words in one breath, and after writing the four words, she was already sweating on her forehead, and the person shook slightly, and then glanced at it again, and then signaled that the little eunuch could take it up and show it to the emperor.

The little eunuch took the piece of rice paper and quickly ran over and knelt down, holding his hands high, and was picked up by the emperor's personal eunuch and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at it, and his eyes lit up, "Dao Wuwei." Good! What a word! He immediately clapped his hands and praised it.

I was also very excited to show it to the queen, "Zitong, you can also take a look, my cousin's words have improved again." ”

The queen also looked at it carefully, nodded appreciatively, peacefully, sparsely atmospheric, upright, and the most important thing is to grasp the charm that belongs to her own words, simple four words, which makes people experience a lot of things.

"It's really a good word, and you haven't dropped it all these years." The queen glanced at Yang Lan and remembered the interesting story when she was a daughter of the boudoir when she was a child, with a trace of memory in her eyes.

The emperor ordered the eunuchs to take it down and pass it on one by one, although the military generals didn't understand, but they could see a very comfortable feeling just by looking at the words, and the civil officials had more specific comments, saying something to say, not blindly praising them.

It was Rong Yi's turn, but he didn't say anything and smiled and returned it to the eunuch, and the emperor asked curiously: "Yuanzhi, why don't you say a word, oh, are you embarrassed." He laughed teasingly.

It is rare to have a New Year's banquet, and the emperor doesn't want to be nervous, but also wants to relax with his courtiers and get closer.

Rong Yi stood up and said before saying, "I listened to everyone's comments on Neiko just now, and many of them are very good. The dot is on the spot. But there's one thing you're not embarrassed to say. Neizi's strength is insufficient, and the follow-up is not enough, and it can be clearly seen that the symptoms of qi deficiency are coming, and this last one is not very good, which is a pity. ”

Everyone can see this, especially civil officials, this word must be grasped, and the fold must be shown to the emperor. You can't be crooked.

How could people who practice calligraphy all year round not see this, but it was just because of the bad feelings of Yang Lan in person, not to mention that her handwriting is really good, and she can be counted among the female dependents.

Yang Lan said nonchalantly: "Finally, there is an honest, I know that my words are just intentional, but unfortunately my body is not very good, after all, I am so bad, you should be bored, don't laugh at me, my show is over." She smiled and sat back in her seat.

This frank and calm attitude. It has aroused the goodwill of many people, and they have responded with friendly smiles.

Everyone looked at Concubine De with burning eyes. Yang Lan's show is over, it's your turn this time, but you proposed to perform the show just now, without Laipi.

Everyone is a little bit of a joke, and Concubine De's careful thinking is not something that no one understands, but she shouldn't provoke on such an occasion, it's a bit petty and not stable enough.

The emperor glanced at it, and saw that everyone was a little interested, and waved his hand, "Concubine De will dance a song for the ministers." The order was given immediately.

Concubine De's body shook for a moment, her face suddenly turned pale, and it took a long time to find her voice back, "Concubine obeys." ”

Everyone is naturally happy to see the excitement, but a concubine dances for civil and military officials, no matter how you say it, it's not a good thing, what's the difference between saying something ugly and a dancing girl. Why is the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting called elegant, but there is no dance word? There's still some talk to be made here.

Concubine De's dance is really good-looking, the martial arts hall is slapping at the bottom, pointing at her and giggling, no matter how you look at this scene, it makes people feel a sense of shame and humiliation.

Concubine De glared at Yang Lan hatefully, her eyes were like the core of a poisonous snake, with scarlet hatred.

Yang Lan approached Prince Yu curiously, "Why is she looking for me, why don't I know when I offended her?" ”

I sat here and thought about it for a long time just now, but I didn't remember, when did she have contact with Concubine De or celebrate the holidays? Probably not.

"If you help Brother Hui, it is equivalent to having a feud with her, if Brother Hui ...... that day, her son would have been the eldest son, and everything has changed as soon as you intervene, how can she not hate you." Princess Yu smiled and nodded quietly.

Yang Lan touched her head and suddenly realized, it turned out that the root knot was here, this person was really ...... What do people say?

Forget it, I have a lot of enemies anyway, one more of you is not too much, and one less of you is not less, whatever.

The banquet was generally very smooth, and after Yang Lan left the palace, she went back in her own carriage, leaving the matter of Concubine De behind.

However, on the second day, the news about Concubine De's dancing ministers was spread vividly, which made Concubine De ashamed and indignant for a while, and she had to huddle in her bedroom with her illness and dare not go out.

When the queen saw that she was pretending to be sick, she didn't say anything, she removed her green head card, and replaced it with other young masters who took turns to serve the emperor.

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the queen has a lot of favor these days, the emperor seems to be very satisfied with the queen's behavior, frequently stays in the middle palace, and gives full authority to the queen for the harem affairs, and looks extremely trusting.

This move made everyone in the imperial capital speculate whether the Lu family had recently committed something that made the emperor unhappy, so he ruthlessly lowered Concubine De's face, which was very favored in the past.

This time, the middle palace once again sat firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, suppressed the arrogance of Concubine De, and maintained the face of the middle palace, the most important thing is that the emperor still trusts the queen, and this is enough.

As soon as the New Year was over, Yang Lan was busy again, the eldest girl came back, and she still lived in her original yard, and when she went out, she became fatter, and her complexion was ruddy, and her face also had a moving brilliance, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Say hello to the second aunt, please say hello to the third aunt, I brought some special products back, and I have already sent them over." The eldest girl smiled gently, and her smile was sincere and cheerful.

Yang Lan and the third family glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of satisfaction in their eyes, and sure enough, it was different when they went out to see the world, and their complexions were much better.

"Okay, you just came back, don't be tired anymore, go back and rest first, don't worry." Yang Lan smiled and floated.

"Well, this is a letter that my brother asked me to bring back, please take a look at it." The eldest girl held a letter and handed it to Yang Lan.

Yang Lan glanced at it and put it away, and the eldest girl retreated.

"What do you think?" Yang Lan turned her head and asked the third family with a smile.

"Yes, I look much more cheerful than before, and my spirit is good-looking." The third family also nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, let's get her marriage first, give me the key to my mother's treasury, take a moment for you to take the list and make it the same as her, these are her mother's dowries, let's bring them all to her, and the Hou Mansion will fill in another copy, make up ninety-eight dowries, do you think it's appropriate?"

"It's suitable, it's okay, she's also a concubine in any way, she can't be compared with her daughter-in-law, the dowry is too thick, and going to her husband's house also means that she is overwhelmed, which is not beautiful." The old three families are becoming more and more transparent.

"Well, that's what I mean, you can give more money for makeup, and more practical and durable things for this dowry. I personally paid 10,000 taels of silver to press makeup, and I was giving two sets of jewelry. "Yang Lan first ventilated the third family in advance, and the gap between the concubines and gifts should not be too big, that is, slapping other people's faces.

"I'll give you five thousand, and it's also two sets of jewelry." The third family thought about it, and they didn't want to compare with their sister-in-law, and the last thing they did was respect.

"Cheng, then it's decided, things must be stared at and inspected, and the people below can't be shoddy, then our family's face will be over." Yang Lan is very concerned about the eldest girl's affairs, there are many taboos that cannot be exported, and it is like this among relatives, and it is not easy to figure it out.

"Don't worry, I know it." The third family nodded happily.

Yang Lan straightened out the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and went out to watch the disciples of the academy invigilating the exam, the sister-in-law was in charge of this matter, giving the children exams to come, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people, among them, there were also many wealthy businessmen, and the children of first- and second-rate families came over, just to improve their own reputation.

Although the garden has not yet been completely completed, many of the scenery is ready-made, and many people have come to visit, and some people have specially explained to them, but it is also carried out in an orderly manner.

After the New Year, Brother Yu was going to prepare for the exam, and Yang Lan concentrated on accompanying her son at home and making him something to eat and drink.

Rong Yi is also busy with the affairs of the ministry, and the Lu family has been suppressed to a certain extent recently, which may not mean that there is no warning from the emperor, and many things are also some conflicts of interest, which is very troublesome to deal with.

In these busy days, Brother Yu was sent to the examination room, and Yang Lan watched her son enter the examination room, and her heart was full of ups and downs, and she couldn't do anything well.

The eldest girl is very sensible these days, and she will come over every day to talk to her or something, let her relax, and tell her the interesting story of Ziqing's naughty mischief in Fujian, which really made Yang Lan change her mind.

In the tormented waiting, Brother Yu was helped back, Yang Lan hurriedly found a doctor to diagnose the pulse, fortunately, the foundation is good, but she is too tired, just take a rest, but she is not seriously ill, she is relieved.

After the exam, Yang Lan's heart was put down, but her heart was steady, and as for the ranking, she felt that it would not be too bad.

Unexpectedly, after the list was released, the surprised voices of the people spread to the second door, "Daxi, the uncle has been hit, the uncle has been hit." Xiao Si's excited voice spread far away.

Yang Lan heard it and came out of the house, "You can read carefully, don't be mistaken?" ”

"That's right, really, I've watched it several times, and I've asked others to watch it for me. Uncle really hit Tanhua. ”

The little guy who was going on was full of joy and said auspicious words vigorously.

"Good, good! Reward, add one month more per person, and add two months more than two months in Brother Yu's yard. Yang Lan was also overjoyed, and shouted again and again for rewards. (To be continued......)
