After a busy day, the first round finally came to an end, and Qin Yi, who had stood for a day, stretched his muscles and prepared to go back to rest.

"Miss, Miss! How did you play today? "Xiao Rou has been pulling her throat from afar!

"Phew, let's go, go back and talk about it!" So the two of them hurried to their dwellings! On the way back, Xiao Rou, driven by curiosity, still wanted to know in advance what Miss had chosen today. "Miss, I heard that today is a test of the girls' piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what did you choose?"

Qin Yi squinted at Xiao Rou, "I drew a picture of a horse!" ”

"Yes! Miss! It must be alive, like a real horse galloping on the grassland! Xiaorou complimented, in fact, she knew in her heart that Miss was the worst at painting.

And every time the horse diagram is copied, it always lacks a little aura, and the score in this first round will definitely not be so outstanding.

Just thinking about it, they saw a jade tree in the wind, and a handsome son walked towards them from a distance! "Miss, Miss, look, handsome boy!" As he spoke, he pointed to the son not far ahead.

Qin Yi slowly looked straight ahead according to Xiao Rou's direction. This doesn't matter, it's startled when I see it, it's over, how can I meet this enemy anywhere!

It turned out that Mu Jingchen disliked the dazzling red color in the prince's mansion, so he casually came out to walk around the palace, and met old acquaintances during this visit, which was really providential! He slowly walked towards Qin Yi, who had already stayed where he was. "Miss Yi, we have such a fate!" I don't know why, as soon as Mu Jingchen saw Qin Yi, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Yes, Dust Boy, this world is really small!" Qin Yi's mood at the moment is indescribable.

"Ah, miss, do you know each other?" Xiao Rou interjected at this time.

"He's the son I saved that day!" Qin Yi said.

"Oh, we went to the back mountain to collect medicine that day, and we also saw Childe, and you just walked away at that time!" Xiaorou said happily.

Mu Jingchen's heartstrings were plucked, it turned out that she was there at the time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. "Ao, I happened to have something to do that day, passing through the back mountain!" Mu Jingchen squinted at the sky out of the corner of his eyes to cover it up. "By the way, when the girl enters the palace, is there something wrong? Also, I remember that the girl had a fair face, why did she not see her for a few days, and her complexion was so dull? Mu Jingchen looked puzzled!

"Phew, be quiet, Dust Boy!" As he spoke, he led Mu Jingchen to a secluded place, "Dust boy, I can't hide it, I had to enter the palace to become the prince's concubine because of a holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor." Just because I don't want to stay in this palace, I made this decision, changed my appearance, and asked Gongzi Chen to keep a secret for me, so I should repay my life-saving grace to you that day, how about it? Qin Yi said earnestly.

When Mu Jingchen heard that Qin Yi was coming to choose a concubine, an inexplicable excitement rippled in his heart, but when he heard that she was unwilling to stay in the palace, a sense of loss came over him in an instant, and he agreed against his will, "Okay!" ”

"Thank you, Dustboy. Ah, as I expected, the identity of the son is either rich or expensive. By the way, Dust Boy, are you on an errand in this palace? Qin Yi looked at Mu Jingchen happily.

Mu Jingchen thought of the darkness in the palace, Qin Yi was right not to step in, it was better to let her live her own life. "Yes, I'm working in the palace!"

"Well, looking at the child's dress, he must be doing clerical work in the palace, similar to a university scholar, sir, right?" Qin Yi looked Mu Jingchen up and down.

Indeed, Mu Jingchen is dressed very casually today, wearing plain clothes, and he really has a bit of the fragrance of literati books!

"Oh, by the way, didn't the girl forget to tease Ben Gongzi twice?" Mu Jingchen deliberately diverted the topic.

"Eh, the dust boy is a generous person at first glance, why bother with me, a little woman?" Qin Yi said humbly.

"Miss Yi, you are wrong again, this son is a person with a small belly, and revenge will be avenged, not a gentleman in the girl's mouth!" Mu Jingchen teased Qin Yi seriously.

This dusty boy is blind with a good face and is so narrow-minded!

"Or else! Dust boy, in order to thank you for saving your life that day, I brought my own osmanthus wine, and after the selection of concubines is over tomorrow, please drink it, how about it? ”

"Okay, it's a word, tomorrow I'll wait for the girl's osmanthus brew in the Moon Pavilion!" Mu Jingchen looked proud.

"Then don't bother Childe!" After that, he reluctantly pulled Xiaorou to the residence.

Back in the house, Qin Yi was really physically and mentally exhausted, and he really didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to wash up and rest early.

"Miss, you are really close to that dust boy! Tomorrow, Miss will go to deliver wine, why don't you ask the other party if he has a wife? If you haven't married a wife yet, the young lady can grasp it! After all, there are not many people who are so handsome and rich! You look like a good match for him! Xiao Rou looked at Qin Yi happily!

"Xiaorou, are you idle and panicked! I think about those who don't have it, can I have such a small belly? The more Qin Yi spoke, the more angry he became.

"Of course you can! Don't you realize that this dusty boy is deliberately close to you, cares about you? Xiao Rou had a look of understanding.

"Really? How do I not think? I just feel like he's teasing me every time! Qin Yi was puzzled, obviously she was taking advantage of her every time!

"Oh, miss, you deal with herbs all day long, how can you understand a man's mind?" Xiaorou has become a psychological expert who is familiar with love at this moment.

"Hey, I didn't see it, Xiaorou, you still understand!" Qin Yi looked at Xiao Rou angrily.

"That is, although I have been with Miss since I was a child, but I don't have to read, practice, and practice all day like Miss、、、 of course I have time to understand this, and the people in the house will talk about this if they have nothing to do, and they can always know a thing or two!" Xiao Rou said proudly.

"Okay, Xiaorou, there are so many things I don't know! Looks like I'm giving you too little work, right? Qin Yi pretended to be angry!

"Well, miss, you must be exhausted. Xiao Rou is going to fetch water for you to freshen up! So saying, he hurried out of the house!

"This little girl is hiding in time!" Qin Yi thought about what Xiao Rou had just said, and fell into deep thought.

Strictly speaking, Qin Yi doesn't hate Mu Jingchen's feelings, maybe people are like this, for good-looking people, they will always unconsciously have a good impression, and it's just a good feeling.

"Qingyan, you go and investigate the name of the girl's family who chose the concubine this time, the daughter of the He family?" Mu Jingchen commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness! Subordinates do it now! Qing Yan commanded.

"Well, stand down! Find out as soon as possible, work hard, I want to know tomorrow! Although Mu Jingchen was able to ask Qin Yi's background from Qin Yi's mouth.

But from the beginning, judging from the fact that Qin Yi did not tell the truth, it always seemed very abrupt to ask such a question rashly. And with the power of his crown prince, it is not difficult to ask the personnel who chose the concubine this time!

Thinking that Qin Yi was about to leave the palace, Mu Jingchen's heart felt uncomfortable like never before. At this moment, he is in a dilemma, he wants to keep her, but he doesn't want to embarrass her.

If you insist on keeping her, her character will inevitably incur resentment, and if you don't keep her, how can your heart be at peace?

"Today is the second day of the concubine selection, are you all ready? Today's theme is virtue. Ladies and gentlemen, describe what you consider to be virtues, and now hand out pen and paper to you, and you will only have time for a stick of incense to answer the questions. Please start answering questions after you get the pen and paper! After Deacon Cui finished speaking, he began to hand the pen and paper to everyone one by one.

When he walked up to Qin Yi, he glanced at Qin Yi slightly, thinking that the prince would marry such an ordinary woman as his wife in the future, I was afraid that there would be no peace in the harem for a while!

Qin Yi got the pen and paper, and answered without thinking, and after signing her name, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Qin Yi also writes at home, the words he writes at this moment are extremely heavy, and every word is a thousand pounds! That's a fitting description! Because distorting the facts also requires some pondering!

"Okay, if you have answered well, put down your pen and leave the scene, and I will go down to collect your finished articles!" Deacon Choi commanded.

After Qin Yi answered, he put the pen and paper in place and quickly left the scene. The thought of leaving the palace one day left made me very excited, and I missed not seeing my family for two days.

"Your Highness, this is the list of concubine candidates!" As he spoke, Qing Yan handed Mu Jingchen a few pages of paper.

Mu Jingchen searched page by page. Finally, I saw familiar words on a page, it turned out that she was the daughter of Qin Shangshu's family, Qin Yi, it seems that she is not completely perfunctory to him!

"Your Highness, don't you care about choosing a concubine! Why do you choose a list of concubines? Could it be that His Royal Highness fell in love with a certain girl? Qingyan was full of incomprehension.

"What so much nonsense? asked you to investigate Leng Xiangguo's scapegoat, how is the investigation? Mu Jingchen tried to change the topic to hide his complicated mood at the moment!

"Your Highness, I have recently followed Leng Xiangguo and found that he frequently appears in Liao Wenhua and Liao Governor's house, I think they must be discussing countermeasures!" Aohiko said.

"Liao Wenhua is Leng Xiangguo's most powerful lackey, I don't think he will give up on him. According to the list given by Zhou Xianzhi, especially those who do not agree with the cold face and heart, focus on the investigation. With that, Mu Jingchen took a list from the desk and handed it to Qing Yan.

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates retire!"

"Well, stand down! Beware! After Mu Jingchen explained the things to his subordinates, he was physically and mentally exhausted and irritable.

Returning to the old question from yesterday, he walked out of the Prince's Mansion with mixed feelings. Wander around the palace and hope to get rid of your worries by walking and breathing fresh air!

Unconsciously walked to Concubine Jing's courtyard, this Concubine Jing was Mu Jingchen's biological mother, Concubine Xian's best sister.

And Concubine Jing was not canonized before, but the emperor saw things and thought about people, loved the house and Wu, and sealed a concubine! The crown prince also often came here to visit Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing is also the most trusted person of the crown princess, gentle and open-minded, low-key and not causing trouble, so she is the emperor's favorite concubine at present!

"Hey, why does the prince have time to come to me today?" Concubine Jing saw the prince coming to his courtyard from afar!

Thinking that the prince lost his mother when he was very young, a sadness unconsciously came to his heart, and for so many years, it was also because of Concubine Xian's sister that Concubine Jing treated the prince like her own son, and never let the prince suffer the slightest grievance.
