When he came to the palace, Gu Yunxin did not look left and right, and quietly followed the leading eunuch. Compared to Gu Yunxin, this palace is no stranger.

In the previous life, she and Xiao Ziming often entered the palace to meet the queen, thinking that at the beginning, the queen asked her to persuade her grandfather's family several times to let Xiao Ziming be a small pioneer under the jurisdiction of her grandfather, but she didn't expect that this was only the first step for them to kill their grandfather's family.

"Has the young lady ever been in the palace?" The eunuch who led the way asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't."

"Seeing that the young lady is not so new to everything in the palace, the slave still thinks that the young lady often enters the palace." The leading eunuch said with a smile.

"Everything is fine in the palace, it's just that today I want to meet the saint, and the little girl is just busy thinking about seeing the saint for a while and not making a mistake." Gu Yunxin said respectfully.

Hearing this, the eunuch who led the way smiled and said: "Hehe, Miss don't worry, presumably before Miss entered the palace, she had already taught Mama Xi to teach Miss the rules, and we will not embarrass Miss if we are lenient." ”

What the? Taught Mama to teach the rules? In the past few days, there has been no teaching at all in the house, could it be that someone stopped her? Do you just want to see yourself make a fool of yourself? If this is the case, then the court understandings that he learned in his previous life can come in handy.

Just thinking about it, Gu Yunxin had already come to the outside of the Chongzheng Palace, and happened to see Zhan Xinyue waiting here in a pale pink dress. But I didn't see Xiao Sirui's figure, I think she doesn't have to wait here, she is the queen's niece, and she must be by the queen's side at this hour.

Before Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue had time to greet each other, they heard a eunuch singing, "There is a decree in the saint, announce the second place Gu Yunxin in this competition, and the third place Zhan Xinyue will meet ......."

Immediately, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue walked into the Chongzheng Hall side by side, and according to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they knelt three times and bowed nine times to the emperor and queen.

"Well, yes, let's all be even." The emperor said softly.

Looking at the two flower-aged girls in front of him, where is the emperor willing to scare them? Originally, he thought that the three women selected in this competition would all lead the red line for their sons, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, among the three people, one was the queen's niece, and the other two were also promised.

If he uses the emperor's power to rob other people's daughters-in-law, I am afraid it will not be good for stabilizing the court. Thinking of this, the emperor looked at King Rui, who was sitting and drinking at the bottom of his hand, and his heart was full of guilt, if he hadn't been in a hurry to summon him back to Beijing in that battle, maybe it wouldn't be like this now.

"Which of the two of you is Gu Yunxin?"

Hearing the emperor call his name, Gu Yunxin was not afraid, but stepped forward with a light smile and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the courtier is Gu Yunxin." ”

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyes and looked, it was really a good girl, if he could be matched with King Rui, it would naturally be great, but it was a pity that he was matched with Xiao Ziming.

"Very good, very good, Taifu teaches her daughter well." The emperor smiled and looked at Mrs. Gu and said.

"Thank you to the emperor for your love, the little girl has never entered the palace, if there is anything bad to do, please forgive the emperor." Mrs. Gu saluted respectfully.

"Alas, where is there anything that is not good, Mrs. Gu is too modest, this Miss Gu's court etiquette is very good, but it is better than some of the things I have learned from Mama Xi." The emperor said lightly.

The emperor said that the person who had taught Mama Xi etiquette was naturally Xiao Sirui, and the emperor praised Gu Yunxin so much, which made Xiao Sirui's heart even more unhappy.

Originally, she was supposed to teach Mama Xi to go to Gu Mansion to teach Gu Yunxin the etiquette of entering the palace, in order to make Gu Yunxin make a fool of herself, she sent someone to invite Mama Xi to the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo to stay for two days, and Mama Jiao Xi naturally didn't dare to say this, but she didn't expect that Gu Yunxin was so familiar with court etiquette, and she did even better than the queen, just like a person who had lived in the palace for a long time.

"Your Majesty, these two girls have been standing for a long time, so let them hurry up and sit down." The queen hurriedly smiled and said.

How could she not know who the emperor was talking about, these days, the emperor has also reminded her several times, don't think about marrying Xiao Sirui to King Xiang.

However, for the sake of King Xiang's future and the eternal prosperity of the Xiao family, only by letting Xiao Sirui marry King Xiang will King Xiang have greater help.

However, when I saw the emperor's eyes on Gu Yunxin just now, isn't the emperor planning to marry Gu Yunxin to King Xiang? If this is the case, Gu Yunxin can be the side concubine of King Xiang, and in this way, the Gu family and even the Dingguo Mansion will be pulled into King Xiang's camp.

Originally, he tried his best to promote the marriage contract between Xiao Ziming and Gu Yunxin, just to tactfully pull the Gu family and the Dingguo Mansion into the camp, but he didn't expect that the emperor would also have the heart of a prince for his son.

"Okay, the top three in today's embroidery competition must show their talents in court, otherwise, outsiders will think that these top three are all obtained because of the power in the family." The emperor said lightly.

Empress Xiao didn't know what the emperor meant, but she just thought that the emperor wanted to test the talents of these three women. This is not something that has never happened before, last year's top three players also let the emperor inspect their talents, and then, the three women all married into the noble family of the imperial court.

But how did Empress Xiao know that King Huai had told the emperor how Xiao Sirui showed off her power in Yuzhu Garden, how she grabbed the first place, and how she suppressed the daughters of other courtiers.

It's just that the Xiao family is very powerful now, and he didn't clean up Xiao Sirui in time, because he was worried about the Xiao family behind Xiao Sirui. The tree is big and has deep roots, and it is not easy to uproot the Xiao family.

Xiao Sirui knew that King Huai told the emperor all this, but she couldn't tell the queen about it for her, and then she looked at King Xiang opposite.

Since the emperor wants to assess the top three players, this is naturally based on talent and singing and dancing, and the assessment of women is naturally based on singing and dancing.

Xiao Sirui performed a song, wearing a colorful dress, with a big silk flower on her head, not to mention that there was nothing new in dancing, and she even gave Wei a foot, which caused a lot of laughter.

Zhan Xinyue danced beautifully in white, as if she was a fairy in the moon, and Gu Yunxin chose a water-red dress, seeing that her water sleeves were spread out, and there were petals like rain. The water sleeves are ethereal, and the waist is soft as if it doesn't win. The smelted water-red dress with gold and teeth on the placket was tied with a ring of mutton fat and white jade, and the sound of gold and jade swirled with her, flicking her sleeves, jumping and spreading red into a charming wonder. In the last movement, her white fingertips crossed her cheeks, jade neck, and slowly fell on her chest, with some sultry charm.

After the dance, Gu Yunxin saluted to the emperor Yingying, the emperor stood up and applauded him, just when Gu Yunxin saluted, King Rui saw the silhouette of her long eyelashes on the wing of her nose, and for a moment, it was really beautiful.

"Father, do you think the order of these three should be readjusted, otherwise, the people of Kyoto will doubt the royal vision." King Huai said with a smile.

Indeed, the dancing posture of these three people, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue are indistinguishable, but Xiao Sirui is not a little different from these two.

"Lei'er, is this a new idea?" The Emperor said with a smile.

This Huaiwang Zhao Lei is unrestrained when he thinks about it, some things, some things for him to do, naturally it is much more suitable than him as an emperor, not to mention, these courtiers are not blind, Xiao Sirui snatched the first place by relying on the queen's niece, if he let the people of the country know that the best among the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Xiao Sirui, I am afraid that he will laugh and be generous.

"Father, originally the son felt that the talent of the Lauder county lord was much inferior to that of the other young ladies, and she asked others for the first place on the spot, which shows that she has no real ability, in this case, the son thinks that the father can revoke the first place of the Lauder county lord, and the last three candidates can be selected, I don't know what the father wants." King Huai said with a smile.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at his son, and thought about letting this stinky boy do it, but he didn't expect to push the trouble in front of him again.

When the emperor was embarrassed, King Rui said lightly, "Father, the son was also at the scene that day, Lauder oppressed people everywhere as the county lord, if such a thing is spread, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family, and the son thinks that if the county lord of Lauder wants to keep this first place, it is not impossible, but the title of the county lord, please remove it from the father, or ......"

Otherwise, the royal face would be even more embarrassed, if Xiao Sirui was not the county lord of Lauder, those who didn't know would think that Xiao Sirui won the championship by relying on the power of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, and as for this Lauder county lord, it can be given to others.

Hearing King Rui say this, Queen Xiao's face was so cold that she could drip water, a good Huai Wang, a good Rui Wang, these two people sang and harmonized, just to make the Xiao family lose face.

Xiao Yuanshan in the court also hated Xiao Sirui very much at this time, and repeatedly warned her to do things properly, but she was still so domineering, and now let the prince tell this matter, either losing the honor of the first place, or losing the division of the county lord of Lauder.

In contrast, the first place in this embroidery contest has nothing to compete for, just to add to those women, and where can it compare to the glory of the Lauder County Lord.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to teach a daughter, and the emperor asks the emperor to revoke the title of the first talented woman of the little girl in Da Zhou, and let the capable person take on it." Xiao Yuanshan's idea is very good, even if the name of the first talented woman in this Great Zhou is not Xiao Sirui's, it will be Gu Yunxin's, this Gu Yunxin is a member of his Xiao family after all, and in the end, this glory still belongs to the Xiao family.

How could the emperor not know about Xiao Yuanshan's wishful thinking, but now is not the time to settle accounts with their Xiao family, but if this matter is let go like this, won't the Xiao family be even more rampant? Thinking of this, the emperor looked at King Rui again, but King Rui picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip gently, as if he didn't notice the emperor's eyes looking at him for help.

"Okay, I will revoke Xiao Sirui's first place, and the next three will take the top, and at the same time, I will also give a special reward to the first place, and someone will bring the reward." The Emperor said with a smile.

In a moment, a eunuch walked slowly into the main hall with a tray in his hand, and everyone was speculating about what the reward on the tray was......
