Shi Xiangyuan looked at the bottles and cans on the stone table, and felt a little unreliable: "Can you really do this?" ”

Shen Jiahe sent her a letter early in the morning, saying that the materials had been prepared, and she could help her try it, so she didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran over, but now she is a little discouraged.

Shen Jiahe put a bottle of impatiens juice and a little medicinal powder in her hand together and stirred it, waited until the two things fused together, and then used a wooden spoon to try it on the back of her hand, she held it up and asked Shi Xiangyuan to look at the red dot: "That's it, it can't be washed off without a special method, what do you think?" ”

Shi Xiangyuan thought that if this was not the case, maybe he would be elected to the palace immediately, so he directly accepted his fate and said: "It's all up to you, you can watch it." ”

Shen Jiahe instructed Bai Ying to continue to mix the medicine next to her, and he used a brush to dot red spots on her face little by little, and after about two teas, Bai Ying went to hold the bronze mirror and came over: "Miss Shi, can you take a look?" ”

Shi Xiangyuan looked left and right in the mirror, and felt very amazing: "It's the same as the real thing, you are really amazing!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Jiajue's voice coming from behind: "Other girls are dressed up in grease and powder, how can you make yourself look like this." ”

He stepped forward and approached Shi Xiangyuan to take a closer look, and couldn't help laughing all of a sudden: "Shi Xiangyuan, did you lose a bet with my sister to be made like this by her?" ”

Shen Jiahe glanced at him, Shi Xiangyuan didn't have the heart to quarrel with him today, she pulled a small green porcelain vase in front of her, and told him about the draft in a low mood: "I have already passed the first try, listen to my father's tone, just rely on our family's family affairs, even if I don't do anything, those people will let me be selected." ”

Shen Jiajue was silent for a while, he didn't care much about these things on weekdays, and he didn't know which girl was selected, he naively thought that Shi Xiangyuan would never enter the palace, but he forgot about the emperor's draft, and he couldn't take the initiative to refuse at all, unless it was decided a long time ago.

"But you can't do this, the grandmothers in the palace are all like human spirits, if you go in like this, you will find a doctor to diagnose and treat you as soon as possible, if it is found to be fake, it can be regarded as a crime of deception." Shen Jiajue told them weakly.

The panic in his eyes was all looked at by Shi Xiangyuan, and she was also very anxious in her heart, but when Shen Jiajue said this, she didn't dare to take any more risks, the crime of bullying the monarch was to destroy the nine clans, and she couldn't affect her family because of herself.

She held Shen Jiahe's hand and looked at her pleadingly: "Is there any other way?" ”

Shen Jiahe couldn't think of any good way for a while, this is an imperial society, the Son of Heaven represents everything, it's not that they can do whatever they want, as for the life and death of their ordinary people, where will they take it seriously.

"It would be good if you decided to marry early, and if you have a family affair, you naturally don't have to participate in this Rausch draft!" Shen Jiahe also sighed.

This is the simplest and most direct way, Shi Xiangyuan smiled bitterly and muttered: "I grew up in the border city since I was a child, and I followed my father and brother to mix in the barracks all day long, and I didn't feel anything at that time, but when I returned to the capital, I realized that my character was disliked by many housewives, but I am a daughter's family, and no matter how I am, I can't take the initiative to look at men." ”

Shen Jiahe glanced at Shen Jiajue, and when he saw that he was standing aside and listening seriously, he asked intentionally, "What do you think of my brother?" ”

"What?" Shi Xiangyuan subconsciously glanced at Shen Jiajue, and quickly lowered his head.

Shen Jiahe smiled: "It's my eldest brother, what do you think of your personality, I look at the two of you very suitable." ”

Shen Jiajue stood aside and listened, Shi Xiangyuan was embarrassed to speak, she could feel that her cheeks were already burning, and she didn't dare to look up again.

That touch of red glow was seen by Shen Jiajue, and he was also happy in his heart, but when he thought that Shi Xiangyuan was about to enter the palace to participate in the re-examination of the draft, he instantly became like a leaf, and he really regretted that he had not determined his mind earlier and went to the Shi family to propose marriage.

The two are talented and beautiful and like each other, Shen Jiahe naturally doesn't want to see such a pair being broken up alive, but now that she has passed the first try, it is too late to propose marriage, so she had to persuade: "This thing is made by myself, it is not so easy to wash it, if you are afraid of revealing the stuffing, you can buy the imperial doctor and the grandmother in advance, and spend some money, and there will be no big problems in the future." ”

"That'...... I'll give it a try! "A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and there is no better way anyway, she can't really enter the palace to serve the emperor who is as old as her father.

Shen Jiahe personally packed the things in his hand and handed them to Shi Xiangyuan's maid, and wrote her a prescription for removing makeup and instructed her: "Go back and burn the prescription when you complete the medicine, so as not to leave any evidence, you must pay attention to it yourself." ”

After sending Shi Xiangyuan away, Shen Jiahe wanted to go to Yao's house to visit Yao Xinrou, but he didn't want to meet Pei Yuan who came out of Shen Xiang's study before he went out.

"When did you come?" Shen Jiahe put down the things in his hand and greeted him.

Pei Yuan hugged the person in his arms, and his previous bad mood because of the government and government issues was instantly cured: "I've been here for a while, and when I saw you talking to Xiang Yuan, I went to my uncle's room to talk to him about something." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to spare time to go to Yao's house today, so he instructed Bai Ying to send the things over first and talk to Yao Xinrou for himself.

Pei Yuan had heard about what happened in the Cheng family, and when he saw that Shen Jiahe was worried about Yao Xinrou, he told her about the situation: "Cheng Yiming has already gone to Yao's house to say goodbye, and occasionally I see Lord Yao and Cheng Yiming talking in the court, the relationship should have eased a lot, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, and then looked up at him again: "It's hard for you to still pay attention to this matter." ”

"Naturally, it's all because of you, it's not that you're worried that you won't be able to sleep at home." He reached out and hugged the person in his arms, greedily breathing in the sweet fragrance of her.

Although there is another reason that he can't let Cheng Yiming, who is with him, have any reputation stains, there is no need to tell the woman in his arms about these things.

Pei Yuan rarely had a little free, and he didn't want to stay in the house all the time, so he took Shen Jiahe to go outside for a walk, and on the way he remembered Xiang Yuan's participation in the draft, and he was a little sorry: "I should tell you thank you for Xiang Yuan's matter, she doesn't want to enter the palace for the draft, I'm afraid that she will come to you several times and ask you to help her find a way." ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, and mentioned the matter of pretending to be allergic to Pei Yuan: "I don't have any good way, I hope this trick can work." ”

"The Shi family is my uncle's family, and they are very close, but in order not to cause trouble for them, sometimes I have to avoid suspicion with their family. Although your method is a bit risky, I can still do it by buying a doctor and a grandmother in the palace, so don't worry about it. Pei Yuan quietly clenched Shen Jiahe's hand.

He remembered that Shi Xiangjie had told him that he wanted him to help keep an eye on some sons of families in Beijing, so he mentioned this matter to Shen Jiahe: "I listen to your brother's tone, it seems to be good to Xiang Yuan, if I pull a thread from the middle, how sure do you think it can be done?" ”

Shen Jiahe remembered the scene where the two of them were in the garden before, and couldn't help laughing: "Ten percent!" ”

This time, it was Pei Yuan's turn to be surprised: "You are very optimistic about the two of them." ”

"That's because I've already told them that the matchmaker is done!" Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan proudly, thinking that he could identify with his brother and was willing to marry his cousin, his mood was a little better, "Are the two of us a little bit clear?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were still outside at this time, Pei Yuan would definitely hold the person in his arms and love him, he suppressed the lust in his eyes and pinched Shen Jiahe's palm: "I didn't know that you still had the potential to be a matchmaker, why didn't I see you tell yourself a good family affair before." ”

Shen Jiahe took two steps directly and stood in front of Pei Yuan and looked at him seriously: "I have found such a good husband for myself, haven't you seen it?" Is it bad in the eyes? After speaking, she shook her hand in front of Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan pulled her hand down and smiled on his face: "Yes, our family Jiahe is so smart, so naturally he found a good one for himself early, and I am very honored to be seen by you." ”

The two of them smiled all the way to Piaoxiang Building for lunch, and Pei Yuan sent people back.

And after Shi Xiangyuan went back, he looked at the things he brought back from Shen Jiahe, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind to do so, so he had to go to his parents' room, determined to tell the second elder what he was thinking.

She pinched the corner of her clothes and pondered for a long time before she spoke: "Father, mother, I don't want to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Shi's mother raised her eyes and looked at her husband, and saw that he just kept a calm face and didn't speak, so she took the initiative to take the matter on her shoulder: "If you don't want to go, don't go, you don't have to worry about the emperor, your father and I will take care of it." ”

She was also reluctant to let her daughter suffer in that kind of cannibalistic place, and now that she took the initiative, she had to find a way to stop it.

"Even if this general who is willing to be a father doesn't do it, I will also persuade the emperor to cross out your name, and for my father, this emperor doesn't want to be drafted much, if not...... Forget it, I won't talk about that. General Shi sighed, if Pei Yuan hadn't echoed it, there was a high probability that this draft would not have been held, and I don't know what that kid wanted to do.

Shi Xiangyuan had already cried and knelt down when she heard this: "My daughter is not filial, my daughter is so old that not only can't share her worries for her father and mother, but also involves you worrying and being afraid for me, but don't worry, my daughter has already figured out a way." ”

Shi's mother also cried, but General Shi still kept his senses and asked, "You said you thought of a way?" ”

Shi Xiangyuan nodded, raised her hand to wipe her mother's tears before speaking: "If my daughter is sick and covered with rashes or chickenpox, she won't have to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

General Shi immediately shook his head: "This is not possible, if you let the imperial doctor check it out, this is the crime of deceiving the king." ”

Shi Xiangyuan shook his head and decided to take a risk: "It's not pretending to be sick, it's really sick, although it's spring now, it's still a little cold, presumably it shouldn't be abrupt to get a wind chill or something." ”

Shi Mu directly objected: "No, I can't bet on your body!" ”

Shi Xiangyuan hugged Shi's mother's waist, put her face in her words, and pleaded in a low voice: "But isn't this the only way?" Mother, it's just a chill, you don't have to be too nervous. ”

Shi Xiangyuan finally explained to the two old men, and soaked herself in a bucket of cold water that night, the night in early spring was still very cold, she sat in the bathtub and shivered, but when she thought of entering the palace, thinking of the general's mansion, and thinking of Shen Jiajue, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Shi's mother stood outside and stared at the figure inside through the window, her face was already full of tears, and General Shi could only step forward and take his wife in his arms and gently pat her back.

The next morning, the ceremonial officer sent by the Ministry of Rites brought the eunuchs and grandmothers in the palace to pick up Shi Xiangyuan into the palace, Shi's mother went out to receive her with a haggard face, suppressed her discomfort and told them: "I'm really sorry, my daughter learned the rules too late, and accidentally suffered from the cold, this time she can't enter the palace." ”

The next draft will have to wait for another three years, and the ceremonial officer who came to pick up people is a pity for her, you must know that the concubines of the General's Mansion will enter the palace, and at worst, they will be concubines.

Only the grandmother in the palace glanced at the confined bed curtain and said in a deep voice: "Since Miss Shi is sick, let the imperial doctor take a look, if the illness is not serious, you can still enter the palace." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Shi's mother to speak, so he ordered the imperial doctor who followed him to go in and take a look, Shi Xiangyuan had a terrible fever, and in order to make people in the palace believe it, he also stubbornly didn't take medicine all the time, and after the imperial doctor checked it out, he naturally said that he couldn't enter the palace again.

After the queen learned of this, she personally crossed Shi Xiangyuan's name to exempt her from the retest, and then sent Mama Xu to come over with some supplements to visit, she was happier than anyone else to be able to remove such a powerful opponent.
