Waiting for the young girl to leave, Li Lizhi suddenly covered her eyes, blushed and said, "Ah, why did you go back, what did you say to her?" Why did you leave? If we let others find out about our ......"

Li Lizhi is actually a talker, Zhou Jinyan knew it early on, but her voice was crisp and pleasant, chirping like a lark, and she could make people like it in their hearts, so she reached out and hugged the shy little girl into her arms.

Poria's eyes widened, but the corners of her eyes were full of smiles, and she got up slightly, hunched over, and retreated.

When it was half dark, Zhou Jinyan returned to his place from Fengyang Pavilion.

The two palace maids guarding the door talked in a whisper, heard footsteps, and hurriedly shut up together.

Zhou Jinyan was still immersed in the gentle countryside of the young girl, and he didn't know what was happening in the house.

Pushing open the door, the room was dark, and he said, "Light the candle." ”

A palace maid outside the house hurriedly entered the house and lit candles.

Zhou Jinyan waved her hand to make her stand back, turned her head, her expression was stagnant, and then she frowned: "Can someone come in this afternoon?" ”

The palace maid trembled, and subconsciously said, "No." ”

Then he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Yes"

Zhou Jinyan had a straight face, "Is there any?" ”

"Yes." The palace maid's voice trembled.

Zhou Jinyan said slowly: "Who came in?" Why is the getaway chair in the house gone? ”

"It's a small general, with a few guards......"

"Do you know?"

"The slave doesn't know."

Zhou Jinyan snorted coldly, "This free chair is a tool I brought to try it out, do you know this?" ”

The palace maid was so frightened that her knees weakened and she fell to her knees.

Zhou Jinyan's voice was low: "Tell me, what is the name of the eunuch who sent me today?" ”

"Wu Temple people."

The temple is another name for the eunuch, and it is also a kind of official position, holding the precepts of the female emperor and female slave in the palace, and setting up five people in the queen's road bed (main room).

Zhou Jinyan nodded, "Why did he move my recliner?" ”

"I don't know." The palace maid's brain was blank, and she knew that she was in trouble after speaking.

Her eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Jinyan in horror.

Zhou Jinyan stared at her deadly, "Remember your words, to tell the truth, you can still live, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Go out, don't try to escape and report the news, if you let the people of Wu Temple know the news of your leak, your life will be gone." ”

The maid collapsed to the ground, her face pale.

"Peach, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xiao Tao come out, another palace maid asked with concern.

"Xiaoju, I, I accidentally ...... just now"

Xiao Ju's face changed, "You told me about the people from Wu Temple?" ”

"He framed me, and I said it in a daze."

"You, why are you so confused?" Xiao Ju suddenly became anxious, and lowered her voice and said, "You are guarding here, and I will go to find the people of Wu Temple." ”

Xiao Tao hurriedly grabbed her, "No, he said that if the people of Wu Temple knew about this, we would not be able to survive." ”

Xiao Ju was startled, only to feel that the gold ingot in her hand was very hot......

Early the next morning, Zhou Jinyan took the two girls empty-handed and went to a side hall.

The palace is huge, but there are no people, and the competition is held here.

Today, there is a small pilgrimage, and we have to wait for the end of the pilgrimage meeting before we can hold a competition.

Zhou Jinyan saw that there was no one, so he immediately took the two girls and turned back.

Sitting in the room, he waited quietly for news.

At the same time, the ministers who were invited to participate in this competition and selection, and the concubines and princesses of the harem, have gone to the side hall one after another.

It didn't take long for the originally quiet side hall to become lively.

The people who participated in the selection this time were three princesses, three princes, three ministers, and three eunuchs.

There were twelve people in total.

Li Shimin adheres to the principle of fairness and justice, and tries his best to make these princesses and princes not know each other.

Therefore, Li Mengjiang, Li Lizhi and other women can only be spectators and have nothing to do with the selection.

The crown prince Li Chengqian, who has a close relationship with the eldest grandson, is naturally no longer in the selection.

The main hall was scattered with many people.

At this time, an official eunuch said: "Su Guogong has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Cheng Zhijie striding in, followed by his two sons Cheng Chumo and Cheng Huailiang.

"That's a lot of people." Cheng Chumo whispered.

Cheng Zhijie turned his head and glared at him, "You kid is not allowed to cause trouble today, otherwise I will see how I beat you when I go back." ”

"Father, don't worry, I'm just here today to cheer Jinyan on, and I won't do anything."

Cheng Zhijie nodded with satisfaction. Walked over to the familiar and sat down.

Cheng Chumo glanced at his eyes, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a young woman and said, "Second brother, who is that?" ”

Cheng Huailiang hurriedly looked, and when he saw it, his face suddenly turned red.

Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Second brother, that's your future princess and wife, don't go over to say hello." ”

"You go, you go."

Cheng Huailiang was thin-skinned, and he was teased by his eldest brother, and he couldn't stand it.

"She is your future wife, what do I say hello?" Cheng Chumo shook his head, looked at Princess Qinghe in the distance, and then looked at his second brother, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the two were a good match.

Princess Qinghe is not good-looking, but she is not bad, she is a little fat.

But this is just in line with Cheng Huailiang's taste.

The two got engaged last year, but because Princess Qinghe was still young, she planned to stay for two years and get married again.

Cheng Huailiang came over this time, most of the reason was to see Princess Qinghe.

I can't say I like it, but it's his future woman after all, maybe I like it after a few more glances?

Soon the princesses, princesses, and princesses of the county came one after another.

Anyone who can take the initiative to enter the palace and has an identity can come to see this competition.

This is also the enlightened place of Datang, which is transparent and transparent.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, Yu Chi Baolin and others got together again.

"Why hasn't you come yet?"

"I think it's preparing." Niu Bi glanced towards the door.

"Zhao Guogong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived."

There was another singing outside the hall, and then the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chengqian walked in one after the other.

The two talked eagerly, and the eldest grandson Chong followed behind, followed by two eunuchs, carrying a delicate and beautiful rocking chair.

The protagonist appears, and the hall suddenly falls silent.

Cheng Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Shouldn't this old man go to the morning court today?" How is it here? ”

Wei Chigong said with a big grin: "With his relationship with His Majesty, it's not easy to take a leave?" ”

Niu Jinda said worriedly: "I think this time is dangerous, inside and outside are people from the eldest grandson's family and the Cui family. His father is not here, and we are not eligible to participate in the competition, so if we lose? ”

Wei Chigong snorted coldly: "I still don't believe that it can turn the sky upside down, if this free chair is really awarded to the Cui family, it will really be the first joke of the year." ”

He was not taboo, his voice was very loud, and when the eldest grandson Wuji passed by him, he looked extremely dissatisfied and glared at him.

Wei Chigong has nothing to say about his friends, but when he treats people he doesn't like, he is even more arrogant than Cheng Zhijie.

Facing the eldest grandson Wuji, the first person in the dynasty, he didn't give face at all.

Seeing his glare, he immediately glared back, and then laughed.
