Luo Xinfang raised his head lightly and lowered his gaze to the lowest.

The eyebrows of the distant mountains are long, and the waist of the thin willows is curled. The beautiful eyes are as clear as autumn water, and the plain skin is as thin as winter snow.

The previous four young ladies are also outstanding, but compared with Luo Xinfang, these people either lack some temperament or lack some color.

After seeing Luo Xinfang's appearance clearly, the queen couldn't help but praise: "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate." ”

Xiao Ye raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Xinfang, the amazement in his eyes only stayed for a moment, and no one caught this change.

The queen asked, "What books do you usually read?" ”

Luo Xinfang straightened her back and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers have read the Four Books and Five Classics and the Left Biography of Historical Records. ”

There was a touch of unnaturalness in the queen's warm smile.

Being talented is certainly not a bad thing for women, but in order to avoid trouble during the palace election, most women will only say that they have only read the women's training and women's commandments, just like the Miss Zhao who is clever at first glance.

Is this Luo Xinfang too straightforward?

Xiao Ye said lightly: "The daughter taught by Luo Aiqing is different. When one of your daughters reads these books, does she want to be like a man? ”

The queen's eyebrows jumped, and trouble really came.

Luo Xinfang kowtowed lightly, and replied unhurriedly: "If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers are not as meritorious as the boys of Dayan, and the courtiers have been reciting poetry and books since childhood, just because the father of the courtiers has taught the courtiers. ”

"Although the courtiers are women with shallow qualifications, they also understand the principles of erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and dedication, all of which are based on erudition, and now the courtiers have only learned a little."

After hearing this, Xiao Ye sat up straight and carefully examined the people in his hall.

He is not a woman for beauty, so it is not his good looks that will attract him.

After all, when it comes to appearance, men and women, there are few people in the world who can match him.

"Roche Xinfang. What are the two words? Xiao Ye still had that cool tone.

Luo Xinfang bowed lightly to the Venerable Master and replied: "Faith is 'Believer, sincere, single-minded. The letter of Fang, Fang is the fragrance of "Fang and Zeqi are mixed, but the quality is still not lost". ”

Xiao Ye's expression finally loosened a little.

Believers, sincerity, single-mindedness. It means loyalty and single-mindedness. Fang and Zeqi are mixed, but what is still expressed is that the court is treacherous, and the undercurrent is surging, and no matter how others plan and calculate, the Luo family will not be in the same stream with it.

And Luo Xinfang's meaning, that is Luo Hong's meaning.

"Luo Hong has taught a good daughter." Xiao Ye had a faint smile on his face.

The queen understood and directly instructed the head of the Shanggong Bureau: "Don't hurry up and write down the name." ”

"Thank you, the queen, may the emperor and queen be blessed with all the blessings." Luo Xinfang knocked again, and withdrew from the Tianxian Hall with dignified steps.

After the palace election, the selected show girl must immediately leave the palace and return to the house, and the Ministry of Rites will calculate an auspicious day, and there will be an attendant on the auspicious day with the canonized holy decree and a sedan chair to the palace, and carry it into the palace.

By the time Luo Xinfang returned to Suifu Hall to pick up his package, Lin Xizhi had already left.

Seeing that Luo Xinfang was back, Mei'er respectfully presented the package that had already been packed, and said, "Miss Luo, Miss Lin is worried about you, and she can't stay longer because of the rules, so she asked the slave to tell you goodbye in the future." ”

Luo Xinfang smiled: "I know." As he spoke, he took out the two reward purses in the package and handed them to Mei'er and Pei'er, "You've worked hard for the past few days." ”

Mei'er and Pei'er said that they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to do so, and the two personally sent Luo Xinfang to the outer door of Chuxiu Palace.

Today is the day of the end of the palace election, and the carriage of the official eunuch has already stopped in front of the gate outside the Chuxiu Palace.

The eunuchs of Youzhou City have always advocated gorgeous luxury, and the carriages are all tasseled canopies of water. If the ladies who have just left the palace gate must look for a long time to find their own car, only Luo Xinfang quickly and accurately found the simple and simple carriage of the Luo family among the BMW incense cars.

"Miss." When the coachman saw Luo Xinfang, he hurriedly saluted.

Before Luo Xinfang could speak, he saw the curtain of the carriage move, and Luo Wenqian leaned out of the carriage.

"Why is the second brother here?" Luo Xinfang was a little surprised.

Luo Wenqian said a little embarrassedly: "I'm here to pick up the eldest sister, the eldest sister is staying away from home for the first time, I'm afraid that the eldest sister will not get used to it." ”

Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "The first time I left the house, I was really a little unaccustomed, thank you second brother for worrying." Then he got into the carriage.

After the two of them sat down, Luo Wenqian looked at his eldest sister's face for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Eldest sister, is the food in the palace not to your liking?" ”

Luo Xinfang immediately remembered the vegan banquet that had remained unchanged for the past seven days.

"It's fine, it's just a little unaccustomed to it." Luo Xinfang forced herself not to think about those green dishes.

Luo Wenqian said thoughtfully: "I see, no wonder I always feel that the eldest sister seems to have lost some weight than before entering the palace." ”

Luo Xinfang touched her chin, feeling as if it was really pointed.

It seems that it is not unreasonable that those show girls would rather go hungry than eat.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Luofu, and Luo Xinfang got out of the carriage and slowly stepped into this solemn mansion.

This is where she lived for seventeen years.

She slowed down her steps, as if she wanted to sink every grass and tree in Luofu deep into her heart.

She had thought that she had long been tired of the boring place of Luofu, but it was not until the time of parting that she realized that some things that were at her fingertips would become out of reach in an instant.

The breeze was blowing and the leaves rustling.

The rays of sunlight passed through the not yet dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on Luo Xinfang's body.

She thought she would never forget the sight of the day.

It's as if she's never forgotten the medicinal fragrance in Liufangtang.

Rowan felt that he could understand a little bit of the eldest sister's feelings at this time, so he quietly followed behind the eldest sister and was silent.

After a while, Luo Xinfang turned around and looked back and smiled.

Luo Wenqian was dazzled by this bright smile for a while.

"Second brother, do you want to go sit with me?" Luo Xinfang said with a smile.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Luo Wenqian also laughed.

At least at this moment, the eldest sister should be happy.

The people of the Ministry of Rites were very efficient, and the auspicious day for the appointment of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace was set for three days later.

Luo Xinfang had already prepared, so when she received the news that she would enter the palace in three days, she was not at a loss.

The idle and relaxed time always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the eve of entering the palace.

Everything was already in order, and Luo Xinfang sat bored in front of the bookcase in a daze.

The silver screen opened the curtain and came in to report: "Miss, the master asked you to go." ”

"I see, you don't have to come along." After Luo Xinfang instructed the two maids, he got up and went to the study.

Today is the last day before entering the palace, and her father must have something to explain to her.

After entering the study, Luo Xinfang looked at his father's solemn figure, and suddenly had some illusions.

She always felt that today's father seemed to be less serious and more easy-going.

It's like turning back into the father who would fly a kite with her.

Luo Hong sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at his daughter.

Time flies, and when he is not paying attention, the little girl who is made of pink jade has grown into a slim big girl.

Luo Hong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"You are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and my father has something to explain to you."

Luo Xinfang said with a straight face: "Father, please speak, and my daughter listens." ”

"If you are told to be careful, I will not say anything about my father, and my father has made some arrangements for you in the palace over the years. The head of the Shang Shan Division, the Fu Gonggong, and the head of the Shang Yi Supervisor, the Hai Gonggong, are the fathers. You can let them do things for you when necessary. But remember, don't use these people lightly, so as not to arouse suspicion from others. Luo Hong explained carefully.

Shang Shan Si and Shang Yi Jian actually have fathers?

I think my father must have been making these arrangements a long time ago.

"Yes, my daughter remembers." Luo Xinfang nodded.

"Hmm. It's just that Chun'er, you need to remember that even if you enter the palace, you are still the daughter of my Luo family. You just need to be cautious, but you don't have to bend to it. If someone bullies you and insults you, the Luo family is your backing, and the Luo family will always be behind you. ”

When Luo Hong said this, there was a trace of love in his eyes that made Luo Xinfang feel extremely unfamiliar.

Luo Xinfang was stunned for a moment.

It's been a few years since my father called his own little words.

The father just now gradually coincided with the figure of his mother in his memory.

"If someone bullies you and insults you, Chun'er doesn't have to be afraid. Xinyang Yang will protect you for a lifetime. ”

Luo Xinfang's eyes were slightly red, and she replied in a low voice: "Yes, my daughter remembers." ”

"Alright, you go back and get some rest. I don't know how hard it will be tomorrow. Luo Hong turned around and no longer looked at his daughter's expression.

Luo Xinfang raised her jade finger and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "No matter when, Chun'er will always be the daughter of the Luo family." ”

After saying that, Luo Xinfang saluted his father's back and turned to leave.

Even though Luo Hong has already cultivated an iron-hearted heart in the officialdom, he can't help but cry at this moment.

He is a cunning politician, a beloved official, he is like a fish in water in officialdom, but in relationships, he is always a loser.

He is not a good husband, much less a qualified father.

At the same time, in the imperial study.

Xiao Ye was reading an excerpt of the book that participated in the greedy ink, but Zhu Bi did not approve it for a long time.

After a long time, he took the notebook and raised his hand to rub his sour eyes.

Xiao Ye's personal father-in-law, Meng Anliang, hurriedly made a cup of tea and served it.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is here, saying that there is a draft to discuss with you."

Xiao Ye picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Isn't the draft matter handled by the Queen Mother and the Queen, why should this kind of thing be used to annoy me."

Meng Anliang cautiously smiled and said: "Your Majesty, even if the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have all been arranged, they will still be shown to you in the end, in case the position of the Queen Mother is not to your liking......

Xiao Ye waved his hand and interrupted Meng Anliang's words, "Okay, let the queen come over." ”

"The emperor is wise." After Meng Anliang got the order, he glanced at a small chamberlain next to him, and the little chamberlain immediately hurried out of the imperial study.
