In the inner hall, seeing that there was a scholar and a girl who had lost her demeanor because of the improper arrangement, Wu Zetian first frowned slightly, and then glanced at Princess Taiping on the left.

Princess Taiping just sat upright, and waited until she felt that her mother's eyes had left her, then she turned her head and smiled at Concubine Fang on the other side. Fang was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and after a moment, he lowered his head and smiled, and nodded to Princess Taiping.

Several female officials in the palace hurriedly entered the front to ask for guilt, Wu Zetian knew who was the initiator, and he didn't bother to investigate, just waved his hand and ordered Zhang Shi to be replaced again.

Although it was only a small episode, everyone in the temple had different feelings. These clever little tricks are a bit offensive, after all, no one can guarantee to be vigilant at all times.

And some noble ladies also realized at this time that the heavenly family is sinister, although the acting king is a rare good match in this world, but their own family is so eager to promote the lady in the court, they may not be able to get the desired result, and their hearts can't help but retreat.

As for the concubine in the hall, she was grateful to Princess Taiping for making these arrangements. Although she lives in the palace and does not ask about foreign affairs, she knows that it is not easy for her son to make a living in this world.

After the furnishings were replaced, the banquet began. Although His Majesty the Holy Emperor is the absolute protagonist of the palace, she doesn't talk much, although they are all women, she and these women really don't have much in common, and she can't afford to lower her body to meet these women and talk about topics they are interested in.

However, Princess Taiping is more active, she runs a theater in the capital, and she is familiar with the wives of various families, and even when the young king returns to the capital, all families compete for luck, and she instigates it, and the target group is less at this time, so she is naturally more comfortable.

It's just that after the small things before, each family has different feelings and reactions. Some people become more enthusiastic, while others are more reserved.

Mrs. Zheng lowered her eyes to look at the bright yellow spot on the corner of her niece's and niece's skirt, and then looked at the objects on the table, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Although he was still a little reluctant in his heart, when the topic came to him a few times, he still tried to introduce it to his cousin Zheng Wenyin in the back seat, which was regarded as acquiescing in the judgment of his husband and leaving the opportunity to the more likely people in the family.

However, what made Mrs. Zheng a little dissatisfied was that these three ladies seemed to be down-to-earth and generous on weekdays, and they were also careful just now, and they did not neglect to be out of shape, but their performance was not good after entering the table. After handing over the words several times, the tone seemed to be trembling, and there was no previous style.

A banquet lasted for more than an hour, interspersed with some singing, dancing and vocal performances, Mrs. Zheng originally planned to try to let the third lady appear on the stage to pluck the strings and show her musical skills, but when she turned her head, she saw that the other party was so nervous that cold sweat appeared between her sideburns, and her pale face couldn't even hide her lead appearance, and she couldn't help but be more disappointed in her heart, worried that she had really become ugly, so she had no choice but to give up.

After that, the women of all families led the ladies to get up and leave, and Zheng Wenyin was even more nervous that her legs trembled frequently, and she was a little reluctant to walk. When she exited the hall, Mrs. Zheng turned around and glared at the lady hatefully, full of disappointment, and didn't know what to say.

Originally, I was going to look for an opportunity to talk to Shangguan Wan'er outside the hall again, but after waiting for a while, I couldn't see her, and in desperation, I could only withdraw with trepidation. Seeing the expectant eyes of her husband, Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to say in detail, vaguely past, and the family left the inner hall with the team from the Xuanwu Gate.

After the women withdrew, Princess Taiping in the inner hall suddenly stood up from the seat, pointed at Concubine Fang and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't feel sorry for your lady to come to my house. This time, in order to help your family choose a bride, I really put my heart into it! ”

It's good that she didn't say this, but as soon as she said it, Wu Zetian, who was sitting in the hall, snorted coldly: "I have already guessed that you, this lady, took the initiative to solicit affairs, and she must make a hidden plan!" But the worshippers are all good and beautiful women from all families, so deceitful trials, can people not be afraid of my family's style? There is also a face here to show clumsy tricks, if you regret losing your good fate because of your nonsense, how to face the young people in the future! ”

Hearing the Holy Emperor's reprimand, before Princess Taiping could answer, Fang's had already gotten up and said, "The clumsy woman is in the court, trembling, for fear that the sect family is entrusting the young." Housewives, husbands and children, no matter how careful they are, they may not be enough. The concubine didn't expect the bride to be able to boost her power, but she could be cautious and attentive to a few court affairs, so that the son could have no distractions and donate to repay the king, so she asked for nothing more and begged His Majesty not to hold the princess accountable. ”

Wu Zetian's tone softened a little after hearing this, and he pointed at Princess Taiping and continued to laugh and scold: "It's rare that your sister-in-law is willing to tolerate your nonsense, so what kind of good couple have you tried to find?" ”

"Mother, you are too anxious, if I show my hidden plan, I am afraid that my mother will also praise me for my talent!"

Princess Taiping looked triumphant, stepped into the next table and said while looking at it: "Make a statement first, this lady I have chosen, even if she is not a wife, must be worthy of the palace, and will never insult my nephew!" ”

Everyone was sure of what she said, and they were all curious for a while, and they all looked around to see what kind of hidden plan made Princess Taiping so confident.

Princess Taiping wandered between the seats, suddenly stopped in front of a seat, lowered her hand and said, "Which lady is sitting at this table?" ”

"It's the family of Tianguan Zheng Shilang."

Shangguan Wan'er was concerned about this, gave an answer directly, and looked back at His Majesty and said, "It is that little lady Zheng Wenyin." ”

When she said this, Shangguan Wan'er was also full of doubts. She has always paid attention to the little lady of the Zheng family, and even noticed that the other party deliberately picked up the items on the ground and handed them back without a trace, and she had a little praise in her heart.

But as the banquet began, the little lady's performance gradually became vulgar, and even Mrs. Zheng Gao wanted to show the other party several times, but the other party did not respond decently.

This also made Shangguan Wan'er disappointed in this lady, only saying that the other party may be dignified on weekdays, but it is inevitable that she will have stage fright when she encounters problems. If it is an ordinary situation, this is not a big problem, just experience it.

But now, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is making a big effort to choose a concubine for the king, and he must choose a candidate who is impeccable in all aspects, and the little lady of the Zheng family behaves like this, it is difficult to enter the eyes of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. But why did Princess Taiping deliberately point out this little lady?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Princess Taiping bent down and tore off the brocade cloth covering the seat, revealing the bamboo table. Everyone looked carefully, and then found that the bamboo braces were not smooth, but angular and oblique.

"This, this...... When the little lady of the Zheng family entered the banquet and the final banquet, how many times did she kneel and sit like this? ”

Wu Zetian in the hall also walked down, looked at the special seat and asked.

"That's right, that's it!"

Shangguan Wan'er also had a sudden feeling after seeing this, and at the same time she couldn't help but step forward, covered with brocade cloth and knelt up, as soon as her knee bones touched the bamboo ridge that stood up, she couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and endured it for half an hour, only to feel that her knees and leg bones were more like a knife and saw, and she finally couldn't help but wave her hand, stood up with the support of the palace maid, looked at Princess Taiping and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess is really, really ......."

Princess Taiping didn't think this method was cruel, but looked around the hall, pointed to the female officials and palace maids and smiled: "I said that this lady is dignified to the bone, if you don't believe it, you can come in and try it." ”

"Give it a try."

Wu Zetian was also quite interested, and waved his hand to everyone.

Seeing this, the female officials stepped forward one after another, and after a small try, their eyebrows jumped frequently in pain and the corners of their mouths twitched. I can't help but think that the whole banquet lasted for more than an hour, and the little lady actually sat on such a table silently, and her patience was really admirable.

"If this kind of muscular and moral lady is not worthy of matching, who can do it better? Son, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you princess for choosing such a beautiful woman! ”

Seeing this, Concubine Fang went straight into front of His Majesty the Holy Emperor and bowed down and thanked her.

As the daughter-in-law of the Holy Emperor, she is qualified to say what kind of character can enter such a family, even if the rest are not concerned, she does not want to miss such a bride.

There are many people from famous families in the world, and there are many dignified and graceful people, but only by enduring pain and hardship can they survive in such a family. can't help it, no matter how high the family background is, it will not only harm yourself, but also tiring!

"Interesting, interesting!"

Wu Zetian asked people to hold the seat in front of her, raised his palm and pressed it slightly, nodded heavily after a while, and asked Fang to help him up: "As you wish, this woman is worthy of my grandson!" The young king's talent is difficult to hide, and there should be a good and beautiful quality. ”

While speaking, she retreated to the palace and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Go and get the details of this Zheng woman's name, and prepare the Zongmu with King Gaoping, and choose a good time to confer the title of the princess." ”

Shangguan Wan'er turned around, Wu Zetian took the name and looked through it for a while, then handed it to Concubine Fang, and said with a smile: "Let's see, can such a family background match the young king?" ”

After hearing this, Fang's hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The comparison between the doors is just the idle plan of the world. On behalf of the king's heavenly family, why should he be trapped in such a vulgar scheme. But with His Majesty's approval, it is a good fate, and the clumsy woman has no objection. ”

Wu Zetian laughed again after hearing this: "Famous ladies are so self-conscious, and it is not easy to share joys and sorrows!" This Zheng family's female talent and character are enough, I just hope that the younger generations will not blame their relatives for mismatching their white heads. ”

Princess Taiping's idle tricks were not enough for Wu Zetian to choose this Zheng girl. But this woman didn't have too many deeds, so she was able to get praise from everyone, and Wu Zetian was also very satisfied with this.

She flipped back to the name that Fang's did not accept, and between her eyebrows and eyes she was even more satisfied, and said with a smile in her mouth: "What a trouble, it's coming in an instant!" Being able to cultivate such a beautiful lady shows the intentions of the family, and quickly summons this Zheng Rong and his family into the capital! ”
