Chapter 570: Candidates for the Crown Princess
Mrs. Zhuang, who thought that she had guessed the queen's holy will, didn't talk nonsense with Qin Niang and the two of them anymore, she excused herself to urge her own girl, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
As soon as Mrs. Zhuang returned to her position, several ladies immediately leaned towards her, even if Qin Niang was far away, just looking at the expressions of those people, she could guess what they were talking about.
"Brother and sister, believe it or not, the queen's intention to make the winner of this competition the primary consideration of the crown princess candidate will spread all over the capital in a few days." Qi Shi said leisurely while drinking tea.
Qin Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Isn't this the result we want?" Originally, Mrs. Zhuang didn't come, and I was still thinking about revealing such information to anyone, but I didn't expect Mrs. Zhuang to come over. ”
Qi also smiled: "You should never underestimate the ability of these people in the capital to find out the news, without Mrs. Zhuang, there will naturally be Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang, and even other ladies, in short, there will always be someone who will come forward and take the initiative to come to inquire with you and me, after all, many people have seen the matter of us being seen by the queen alone." ”
The queen is alone at this time, so isn't the meaning obvious?
Now in this capital, the most important thing is only one or two things, and these people have gone to such great lengths to read so many medical books and ancient books, isn't it just to achieve a certain purpose?
"That's too." Qin Niang thought, even if someone can resist inquiring today, they will find an excuse to visit the door to find out one or two, and she can't understand the behavior of these people in Beijing.
While the two were talking and laughing, Fang Yuanyuan's voice came from behind: "Sister Qin, sister-in-law of the Gu family, why didn't you come to look for me when you came out?" It's hard for me to look for it. ”
As she spoke, she sat down at the table next to them with a big grin, and Bu Shuyuan naturally followed her in a regular manner, and she didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Two cousins-in-law, why did the queen mother let you out for so long, this game is about to start." Bu Shuyuan said, her eyes looking towards the referee in front of her from time to time.
The Yuan Zheng of the Tai Hospital and Imperial Doctor Liu were already sitting behind the screen, because the people in the hall were all female dependents, and men like them were naturally not good to sit in the hall in a grand manner, so they could only use a screen to block them.
Who let there be no female doctors in the hospital?
Although it is presided over by the queen, the queen does not understand medical science, and if there is no imperial doctor present, I am afraid that I don't know what the result of the selection will be.
"The queen has some private matters to discuss with us, so it's been a little longer." Qi didn't plan to talk to Bu Shuyuan about anything she said at the queen's place.
Fang Yuanyuan was originally very curious about what the queen had said when she left her alone, but as soon as she heard Qi Shi speak, she understood that as long as Bu Shuyuan was present, they would not reveal anything.
So, she didn't ask, anyway, sooner or later she would have to know.
With the eunuch's shrill voice: "The queen has arrived~"
Everyone got up from the table, walked to the open space in the middle, and bowed to the queen, until the queen gave way to the queen, and then everyone got up and returned to their places again.
At this time, there was already an attendant who brought up all the medicinal materials of the imperial pharmacy, and placed them in the empty space in the middle, the chief of the imperial pharmacy took the dust, and said in a sharp voice: "Here are all the types of medicinal materials in the imperial pharmacy, and after a while, you can step forward in turn to select the medicinal materials you need, after the sachet is ready, sew a note with your name written on it, and send it to the imperial doctor for judgment by the miscellaneous family, now, let's start." ”
As the voice of the chief priest fell, the noblewomen sitting below had awe-inspiring faces, and since the queen had signaled that they could start, the people sitting in the front positions stepped forward in turn to pick out what they needed.
Those who sat at the back of the seat couldn't help but show a little anxiety on their faces when they saw this.
Although the various varieties of medicinal materials are packed in a box and placed on the long table in the middle, the number is not much, and the people sitting in the front have the convenience of the position and can choose and choose, but the people sitting in the back are a little anxious, because there are so many people here, and the number of medicinal materials is limited.
The more you pick it later, the more you suffer, in case one or two things are picked out, then it means that the people behind have to use the remaining materials to make the same effect of the sachet.
The difficulty is evident.
Qin Niang and Qi didn't come to compete, so they didn't care where they were sitting, and Fang Yuanyuan was here to see the excitement, so naturally they didn't know anything about pharmacology, so they weren't in a hurry.
Only Bu Shuyuan was a little anxious, she couldn't help asking: "Two cousins-in-law, we are sitting in this position, we are a little at a loss, what if it is our turn, all kinds of main medicinal materials are gone?" ”
The sachet with the same effect shows that the main medicinal materials are almost the same, and they are also the most needed, and most people will know it, so the people who generally pick it first will naturally pick those away, and the rest of it will naturally be difficult to be satisfactory.
"You'd love to come out on top?" Fang Yuanyuan looked at Bu Shuyuan in surprise.
Bu Shuyuan's face was stunned, and then she stiffened her neck and said, "I think, as long as it's a competition, no one doesn't want to be able to come out on top." ”
Qin Niang glanced at her lightly and said, "We were kept by the queen for a long time, and we didn't get a good position when we came late, but you can clearly come to occupy a good position, where did you go?" ”
Bu Shuyuan opened her mouth in astonishment and asked, "Is this position on a first-come, first-served basis?" ”
Qin Niang nodded.
Bu Shuyuan bit her lip, Fang Yuanyuan had been shopping with her for a long time just now, and she hadn't told her at all, and she didn't seem to care too much about winning or losing when she looked at her, so she led her to be late.
She didn't know the rules when she entered the palace for the first time, but the eldest lady of the Fang family must have done it on purpose.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a resentment in her heart.
"Okay, I'll give you all the materials I got in a moment." Fang Yuanyuan patted her shoulder generously and said.
Bu Shuyuan pursed her lips and whispered: "You sit with me, and you don't have a little advantage over me, if you get a pile of scraps, what's the use of giving it to me." ”
Fang Yuanyuan glared, hey, why did she think that the Gu family's cousin who came out of nowhere was not too ambitious!
The first time she entered the palace, and her identity was not obvious, she wanted to come out on top, and she didn't look at her identity, what if she got the win? Does the queen dare to give her a piece of marriage? Or do you dare to promise her?
Doesn't she have any points in her heart for her own identity?
However, Bu Shuyuan really didn't count, in her opinion, she is the granddaughter of Old Man Gu, this is an indisputable fact, even if she didn't grow up in the capital, but she is the granddaughter of Old Man Gu after all, no matter what, when she is old, he has to be responsible for finding her a good family to marry.
Although she has only been in the capital for a few days, she has inquired about the fighting art of this Spring Banquet, and it is better to make practical sachets for the soldiers in front, in fact, who is not sitting here and looking at each other secretly?
If you can show one or two unique skills, you may be able to get a good marriage.
The purpose of her entry into Beijing this time is to take root in Beijing, otherwise, why did she come all the way to recognize her relatives?
She remembered the way Old Man Gu looked at her that day, and he didn't want to recognize her.
Scold~
She doesn't want to recognize him yet!
If she had no choice, why would she stick a hot face to someone else's cold ass.
"Since grandfather asked us to take you into the palace, it means that he has no intention of ignoring your marriage, but after all, this is your first time entering the palace, you know a few people, and you just need to see the scene, so there is really no need to take the lead." Qi took a sip of tea and said lightly, "You came into the palace with us today, I think many people can see it, if any woman falls in love with you, she will naturally go to the house to inquire, you don't have to worry, you can always find a good family." ”
Bu Shuyuan replied respectfully "yes" on her face, but she was extremely disdainful in her heart, now her identity is not on the table, even if she followed the two of them into the palace?
With the face of the two of them, is it possible that as long as you are good friends with them, you can get a little bit of blue eyes from others?
Bu Shuyuan didn't believe it.
She only knew that Old Man Gu used to be an old man in the middle of the court, and he was in the first class, but now although he is at home, regardless of the affairs of the court, he still has the trust of the emperor, Qi and Qin Niang are just two women, how much face can they get in front of the emperor?
Moreover, the old man Gu didn't want to recognize her, so she didn't believe that he would find her a good portal!
So, she had to plan for herself.
Qin Niang knew that she must be unconvinced when she looked at her face, but she didn't say much, for her, this cousin who appeared out of thin air was really fake, and she didn't plan to teach an outsider how to behave.
"Hey, it's your turn." Fang Yuanyuan pushed Bu Shuyuan and nodded with his chin towards the pile of medicinal herbs lined up in the middle.
Bu Shuyuan came back to her senses, stood up, and walked towards the front.
The surroundings kept throwing curious glances at her, guessing who this eye-born girl was, but some people saw that she came with the two young ladies of the Gu family, so they were all guessing that this might be a relative of the Gu family.
Soon, everyone got the medicinal materials they needed to make the sachets.
At this time, the chief eunuch of the imperial pharmacy spoke again: "Now that the girls have already got the materials, let's start now, the time is two pillars of incense, and the girls who have finished it can put your sachets on the corner of the table, and the miscellaneous family will send someone to collect them, remember, you must sew a note with your name written on it, otherwise, there will be no results, the queen said, the winner can be given marriage by the queen, or or, there must be a quota in the family that is exempt from the examination." ”
Wow –
As soon as the words fell, the entire Chaohui Hall let out a low cry in unison.
Wedding ......
Everyone thought of what Mrs. Zhuang said just now, so they began to think about it one by one.
