175. Pretending

Early in the morning of August 15, Zhiying took a pair of children out of the palace. She deliberately chose to go to the door and avoided meeting the show girls.

Xiaoqiu still didn't understand this, and was indignant from the first night, and at this point, her mouth was still pouting enough to hang an oil bottle, and she muttered: "Niangniang is the master of the harem, why do you want to avoid those little sluts walking, you should go out through the bright gate, teach them a good lesson, and save future people from entering the palace. ”

Zhiying really didn't have a handle on her, and shook her head and sighed: "Xiaoqiu, it's okay for you to say a few words, this palace knows that you are loyal, but why don't you always talk and do things, since the emperor doesn't want this palace to know, of course this palace has to avoid suspicion, really like you said, this palace ran to the Guangming Gate to make a big noise, isn't this a slap in front of the emperor in front of others?" The ministers outside already have a lot of dissatisfaction with the palace, and we can still hit the knife edge like this, are you afraid that your mother will not fall fast enough? ”

Xiaoqiu was told by her, and lowered her head again, snorting like a mosquito: "The slave just can't swallow this breath." ”

"If you swallow it or not, you have to swallow it, if you don't talk like this in the future and act arrogantly, sooner or later it will harm the palace, and the palace can only send you out of the palace and find someone else to serve." Zhiying straightened his face and said seriously.

Xiaoqiu was startled and hurriedly knelt down: "Niang Niang is angry!" The slave and maid don't dare, and the slave and maid will definitely not be so impulsive in the future. ”

Zhiying sighed, lifted the curtain and looked out.

The sky is as blue as a wash, and the moon will be exceptionally bright tonight, so I don't know who will be the person who will accompany me to admire the moon at that time.

This side held Ying out of the palace, and the show girls over there also dressed up and entered the palace one by one. Show girls can only enter the palace to go to the door, but to Wansheng Palace, you have to go through the Guangming Gate, the Ministry of Internal Affairs then set up the waiting area outside the Guangming Gate, thousands of young girls from all over the world are fifteen or sixteen, and the small ones are only twelve or thirteen, all of them are like flowers and jade age, one by one, full of spring, talking quietly, full of expectations for the selection.

Among them are the daughters and young sisters of the dignitaries and nobles in the Central Plains, as well as the princesses of Dongchang and other countries, and the princess of Humeng Nursery is also impressively listed, but because of the customs, this princess hides her face with a light veil, and it is difficult to see the true face.

There is no shortage of Miss Qianjin from the Central Plains who stepped forward to talk to the princess of the defeated country, some with the intention of making friends, and some purely for the purpose of humiliating others, no matter which one, Princess Humeng Tuoer ignored it, sat in the chair with her head down, and the maid next to her spoke not very fluent Chinese and said: "Our princess has just arrived, she is not accustomed to the water and soil, and she needs to rest quietly, please don't come to disturb." ”

The ladies of the Central Plains, who had touched the gray nose, pouted one after another, showing a look of disdain, and then walked away.

Although it was the height of summer, the princess was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were a little listless, and closed from time to time, as if she was really uncomfortable, and the maid beside her was very worried and kept gently caressing her shoulder.

The eunuchs came again and again to take the roll call, and there were fewer and fewer people waiting, and finally it was the turn of Princess Humeng Tuo'er, who crossed the threshold of the Guangming Gate with the support of the maids, and followed the other show girls to Wansheng Palace.

Cui Yi was dressed in a purple gold dragon robe, sitting in the hall, the show girls stood in a row in turn, Du Zhen read a name, and one person stepped forward to salute, Cui Yi listened and watched expressionlessly, without making any statement.

"Humon Nursery Princess Danalia."

Cui Yi played with the snuffbox in his hand, and a hint of intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Princess Danaria stepped forward and made a local salute, and Rong squinted at it from afar, and said, "Take off the veil and show it to the mourners." ”

The maid hurriedly said: "The queen mother who returned to the Central Plains, we call the custom of the nursery, a woman's face is not allowed to be exposed to strange men, if the queen mother wants to see it, the princess can take off the veil to show you alone." ”

Rong nodded, and Cui Yi said happily: "Then ask the queen mother to check for me!" ”

The two went for a while and came back, and Rong sat down with a smile on his face and said, "You were really good and polite. It's just looking sick. ”

The maid hurriedly explained: "The queen mother who returned to the Central Plains, the princess is not accustomed to water and soil, can't eat, can't sleep, so her face is not very good." ”

Rong nodded in relief, turned his head and asked Cui Yi: "The mourning family looks good, what does the emperor mean?" ”

"Since the queen mother thinks it's good, then let's stay."

Cui Yi generously waved his hand, leaving the first and only person in today's draft.

And at this moment, Zhiying is wandering on the street with her children and daughters, both children have not stepped out of the palace gate for more than half a year, and they are curious about everything they see, Xiao Cui Hao is not bad, quiet by nature, at most she is twisting and looking around in Zhiying's arms, but Xiao Cui Xian is a nail under the soles of her feet, and she is not quiet for a quarter of an hour, if it weren't for Xiaoqiu holding her hand, she would have run away and be thrown out of the city.

Cheng Fengyi also took Xiao Shujin with them, Zhiying had to take care of her son and look at her daughter, and she was tired enough after a while, seeing Xiao Shujin obediently following her mother's side without running or making trouble, she couldn't help but sigh: "Jin'er is like what a girl should look like, which is like Xian'er, just a little monkey, jumping up and down all day long." ”

When Xiao Cui Xian heard this, she turned her head and pouted, and said, "If I am a little monkey, my mother will be a mother monkey." ”

"Hey, you're going to talk back," Zhi Ying laughed, "People have stiff wings before they grow up, what if they grow up." ”

Cheng Fengyi teased: "Tiger father has no dog girl, I think Xian'er will be a heroine among women in the future, maybe even more powerful than her father." ”

When Xiao Cui Xian heard that someone was helping her, she was even more energetic: "Aunt Cheng is right, when I grow up, I will be a female general and ride the golden crow to fight the world!" ”

Listening to her daughter's bold words, Zhiying suddenly remembered that when she caught Zhou, she first grabbed Wang Yin, and then grabbed Bomur's saber full of gems. The daughter is lively and active, and the son is calm and quiet, but they also make up for each other, but I am afraid it would be better if it could be reversed.

When he went to the Taulgan Desert to find the lost Cui Yi and others, Bomur was alone, and his sister Sang Duo, who had always been inseparable from him, was nowhere to be seen, and Zhiying couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there was a conflict between their brothers and sisters? Where did Sando go?

Several people walked around the street, bought large bags of things, and found a decent restaurant to sit down for lunch, and met Xu Cheng on vacation with Nian Jiaojiao to buy Hehe crisp, and couldn't help but sit and chat for a long time.

Nian Jiaojiao said: "When we came out just now, we saw a lot of girls as big as me coming out of the palace, is there anything big in the palace today?" How could the mother have time to run out? Xu Cheng hurriedly touched her, Nian Jiaojiao was full of question marks, and she didn't understand what he meant.

"The emperor drafted girls today, what you see are all people who have been eliminated." Zhiying is calm, and he does not shy away from telling her.

Nian Jiaojiao held half a piece of Hehe crisp, looked at her dumbfounded, and chewed and swallowed the pastry in a few gulps for a long time, and asked while beating her chest: "The emperor's draft girl?" Really? Didn't the emperor say that he only likes Niangniang, and he should never marry another woman in this life? ”

Cheng Fengyi pushed her arm: "Don't sprinkle salt on your mother's wounds, the emperor has been hiding the draft from her mother, and today he deliberately drove her out of the draft, her heart is already very uncomfortable, and you are still so open-mouthed." ”

Nian Jiaojiao suddenly showed a sympathetic and guilty expression, and said hesitantly: "I...... I do not know...... I...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"

Zhiying smiled and nodded indifferently: "It's okay, this palace is not such a stingy person, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." ”

Nian Jiaojiao pushed the food box to her: "Niangniang also eats, this Hehe crisp not only tastes good, but also has a good meaning, after eating Hehe crisp, you can grow old with the person you like, and never separate, I am for this, so I must pull Yuan Ke to accompany me out to buy today, Niangniang eat a piece, eat, the emperor will not change his mind." ”

"You," Zhiying wanted to say how could these fictitious things be believed, but looking at the sincerity of Nian Jiaojiao's face, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she took a piece of Hehe crisp, "General Xu is so good to you, you are still worried about some things all day long, you really don't know how to be blessed in the blessing." ”

Unexpectedly, Nian Jiaojiao shook her head and said seriously: "There is no man who is not careful, I am also just in case, right, Yuan Ke?" ”

Xu Cheng Aiai didn't know what to say, but Zhiying saw it in his eyes and knew that he remembered the past again, so he took the initiative to divert the topic and talked about something else.

Love is like a moth to a fire, Shan Jian is like this, and he is not, but if he can die with the fire, even if he is covered in scaly wounds, he will probably get what he wants.

Since Cui Yi ascended the throne, the harem has been idle, and every family in this draft has spared no effort, and there is no age among the daughters, adoption, adoption, and skillful grabbing...... Doing everything, the number of people reported to the state pastoral offices was as high as 8,000, and after layers of screening, there were 3,000 sent to the capital, and then after the grandmother undressed and inspected, and finally sent to Cui Yi, there were still more than 1,600 people, even if it was just a glance, it took most of the day's work, until Shen Shi, the draft was over.

Cui Yi drunkard didn't mean to drink, if it weren't for Bailizan saying that "only by deceiving his own bureau can he deceive others", he doesn't want to spend time in such a senseless place at all, in his opinion, giving his son urine is more interesting than watching a group of women who look similar.

After the fake draft, except for Danalia, all the rest of the people were defeated, and the sunny faces when they came were all cast a shadow of disappointment, and they were sent back to the post house one by one, ready to return to their hometowns early tomorrow morning.

The veiled princess was supported by the maids all the way to the palace prepared for her, and before she entered the door, she saw Cui Yi standing alone in the courtyard with her hands behind her back and waiting, the maids knelt down and saluted, and Danalia also knelt down, but was spared by Cui Yi.

"Since you are not feeling well, you don't need to make this big gift, hurry up and sit down in the house to rest, I just came to see if the internal affairs office had prepared properly, and I will leave." Cui Yi said the words of pity and cherishing the jade, but he did not mean to step forward to help.

The princess said in a delicate voice: "Since the emperor is here, it is better to sit inside together, thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, the slave is willing to play a song for the emperor to show gratitude." ”

The corners of Cui Yi's mouth bent imperceptibly: "It's okay, then I'll go in and sit for a while." ”

The maids got up one after another, hugged the two into the hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for their masters in the morning stepped forward to sign up for the salute, and then consciously went to boil water to make tea, etc., Cui Yi found an excuse to open the Humeng nursery maids, and met the princess's somewhat puzzled gaze, and then said: "Now there is no one else here, you don't have to pretend anymore, right?" ”
