Chapter 303: Draft Ceremony
Not long after Xiaoyaozi left, the man in black and Chen Zexuan appeared in Lin Sheng's room.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Lin Sheng seemed to understand something.
I have to say that the man in black is really good at guessing people's hearts.
Through Xiaoyaozi's reaction just now, he really saw himself as Lin Sheng......
After relaying the conversation between him and Xiaoyaozi to the man in black, the man in black nodded, his eyes shining with the light of success, "It seems that the plan is going well." ”
"Ah, yes." Turning his head, the man in black said to Chen Zexuan: "Three days later, the old emperor will send people to inspect the river embankment, and this time the embankment construction project is in charge of the people under the Qing king." ”
Chen Zexuan instantly returned to the deep meaning of the man in black's words, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Master wants to let something happen to the river embankment?" ”
The man in black sneered and said slowly: "Once something happens to the river embankment, King Qing will definitely not be able to escape responsibility." ”
The royal family is indifferent, and if something happens to the king of Qing, then King Xuan will definitely fall into the ground, so as to take over the power in the hands of the king of Qing.
However, the purpose of the man in black against the Qing King this time was not to cause a fight between the Qing King and the Xuan King, but to test the attitude of the Eight Princes.
If he doesn't make any moves as always, it means that maybe he really has no intention of fighting for power or is hiding too deeply.
If he moved, that's what the man in black expected.
After all, although the Eighth Prince is a little younger, as Chen Zexuan and Lin Sheng said before, he is easy to control.
Therefore, if you can really test the ambition of the Eight Princes, it will be very good.
Chen Zexuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Three days later, it seems that it will be the day of the old emperor's draft." ”
The three-year draft, although the old emperor is old, as long as the person is not dead and the draft system has not been abolished, it must be continued.
Lin Sheng had an idea, and suddenly said, "Master, can you install our people in this draft?" ”
The man in black glanced at Lin Sheng, and said quietly: "All women of school age in Beijing can choose to participate, and it is not difficult for our people to mix in." ”
"The old emperor is old, except for the eighth prince, there are no concubines in these three princes' mansions."
"Perhaps, the old emperor will also take the opportunity to choose a concubine for them."
When Lin Sheng and Chen Zexuan heard it, they felt that what the man in black said was not impossible.
Chen Zexuan then said: "Master, in the past two years, the Fang family seems to have converged a lot, I heard that Fang Jinyang, the eldest son of the Fang family, has passed the selection test, if there is no accident, he should be able to enter the court at the beginning of next month." ”
After a pause, he said: "Also, Fang Ziwei, the daughter of the Fang family, will also participate in the concubine selection ceremony in three days." ”
"Oh?" The man in black narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Fang Xu was killed by the Qing King back then, presumably the Fang family still has a grudge against the Qing King. ”
"We can use the Fang family to get rid of the Qing King."
"Master is right, it can indeed provoke a war between the Qing King and the Fang family." Chen Zexuan agreed, but his tone changed and he said: "However, the emperor is so disgusted with the Fang family, he should not choose the women of the Fang family into the palace." ”
"If Fang Ziwei doesn't enter the palace, she will give several princes as princesses."
"And the Queen Mother loves Qi Hao, I'm afraid she wants to push the Fang family to his side."
After hearing this, Lin Sheng shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not an easy thing to see Qi Hao marrying Fang Ziwei. ”
"Let's not talk about whether he is willing or not, just say that the queen is also from the Fang family, and she must not want Qi Hao to get the help of the Fang family."
"It's just that the Eighth Prince is still too young and not old enough to marry, otherwise the Queen will definitely let the Eighth Prince marry Fang Ziwei."
"Your analysis is not unreasonable." Chen Zexuan pursed his lips and said slowly: "In short, no matter what, Fang Ziwei can't marry Qi Hao." ”
The man in black snorted coldly, "Not only can't she marry Qi Hao, but even King Xuan can't." ”
"That'...... What does Master mean? Lin Sheng felt that there was something in the words of the man in black, and asked in a low voice.
The man in black smiled strangely, "You'll know when the time comes." ”
Lin Sheng only felt that the man in black's smile was full of an indescribable infiltration, and he had goosebumps on his body.
"Master, it's not too early, it's time for Sheng'er to rest." Chen Zexuan saw that Lin Sheng's face was a little tired, so he offered to leave.
The man in black said "um" and disappeared from the window with Chen Zexuan.
Lin Sheng thought about the look in the look in the man in black when he mentioned Fang Ziwei, and suddenly felt a little worried about her.
But thinking that Fang Ziwei had nothing to do with her, she lay down again and fell asleep peacefully.
Three days later, it was the day of the draft ceremony.
Early in the morning, the palace gate was crowded with vehicles.
Lin Sheng also entered the palace today, but she went to give the Queen Mother acupuncture.
The venue for the draft was set up in Yonghe Palace, and after Lin Sheng finished acumulating the Queen Mother, he originally planned to leave.
But thinking that the palace must be very lively today, she also followed the queen mother to Yonghe Palace.
Of course, the Queen Mother didn't find out that Lin Sheng was following, after all, there were too many people coming and going, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace saw that she followed the Queen Mother into the main hall, so they naturally thought that the Queen Mother allowed her to come.
Therefore, Lin Sheng can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger.
When everyone was seated, Lin Sheng stood not far from Mama Lan, his head lowered, and his eyes secretly raised from time to time to sweep towards the crowd.
As far as the eye can see, there are girls full of flowers.
Red, green, pink, white, purple, blue...... Girls in various colors of clothes look dazzling.
Although Gu Jinli didn't see it really, she knew that today was an extremely important occasion, and if she was lucky enough to be selected to enter the palace, it would be like flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.
Therefore, women must attach great importance to dressing up.
Suddenly sensing a sharp gaze shooting at her, Lin Sheng subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see that in the first position of the men's seat, there was a person who had turned to ashes and she also knew.
Qi Hao had a cold face, looking at Lin Sheng's eyes very unfriendly.
The meaning in his eyes seemed to question why she was here.
Also, at the royal banquet, she is a humble outsider, and she is really not qualified.
When Qi Hao looked at Lin Sheng, the Queen Mother and Mama Lan also discovered her existence.
With frowns, the Queen Mother glared at Lin Sheng: "Why are you here?" ”
Although Lin Sheng had just finished acupuncture for the Queen Mother, and his body was much more comfortable, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.
After all, a few days ago, Lin Sheng didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and asked for the Queen Mother's ink.
Such an unpleasant person, the Queen Mother has been able to indulge her until now, just because of Lin Sheng's medical skills.
Otherwise, if you were someone else, you would have been unceremoniously dragged down.
Lin Sheng was stunned, and immediately called a panicked look, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, you just left the dormitory after acupuncture, and you are prone to wind and headaches." ”
"So...... Therefore, the grass people were worried that the queen mother would be infected with wind disease, so they had the courage to follow. ”
"Also...... I also hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins. ”
"Oh?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked disbelieving: "So, you came here to mourn your family?" ”
Lin Sheng nodded again and again, not as if he was faking: "Yes, yes, the grass people are really worried about the Queen Mother's physical discomfort." ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and she didn't bother to talk to her, and said impatiently: "That's it, since you are here, stay honest." ”
"After the draft ceremony, you can take a look at Wan'er's body by the way."
"I've been taking the medicine for a few days, and it's time for it to improve."
On such an occasion, Yin Suwan did not come.
To be precise, I don't dare.
Because Qi Hao was there, she didn't dare to take the initiative to send her to death.
Moreover, the old emperor's decree has already been issued, Yin Suwan is a woman who has been abandoned, and some insiders know that Gu Jinli's jumping off the cliff was completely led by her, so she is now notorious, where do you dare to appear in front of everyone?
Lin Sheng responded, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
She never said that Yin Suwan's body was not as simple as the damage to her heart as she said before.
Yin Suwan has a chronic poison in her body, and there is more than one.
Of course, she couldn't have known that one was under Qi Hao, and the other was the hand that Lin Sheng used to treat Yin Suwan's leg before Qi Hao.
Now Gu Jinli, who is wearing Lin Sheng's face, is unlikely to really heal Yin Suwan......
Seeing the old emperor and queen looking over, Lin Sheng shrank to the side and lowered his sense of existence.
Today, she is just a person who watches the excitement, and she can't just steal the limelight from anyone.
Qi Hao held the wine glass and took the expression on Lin Sheng's face into his eyes, his eyes shining sarcastically.
He suddenly felt that women were really fickle creatures.
That night at the foot of Nanshan, in front of Gu Jinli's tomb, Lin Sheng was still as cold as ice, with a face that wanted to eat people with hatred.
And now in the face of the Queen Mother, she can immediately bow her head and serve the small, hehe!
After the old emperor's gaze swept over the many draft women, he cleared his throat and glanced at Duke Jia.
Jia Gong Guild realized, shook the dust in his hand, raised his sharp voice, and said loudly: "Today's draft is divided into two games. ”
"The first scene, look at the appearance."
"The second game, the talent race."
In fact, strictly speaking, it is divided into three sessions.
Long before these selected girls entered the palace, the very picky and strict senior old women in the palace needed to conduct a "physical examination" for each girl.
First of all, in terms of body shape, the height must be 7 feet 1 inch, the width of the shoulders must be 1 foot 6 inches, the width of the hips must be 3 inches less than the width of the shoulders, the shoulders to the palms must be 2 feet 7 inches, the palms and fingers must be 4 inches long, the length from the thighs to the feet must be 3 feet 2 inches, and the foot length must be 8 inches......
Then, carefully inspect each person's facial features, hair, and skin.
Don't want those with crooked mouths and squinted eyes, don't want those with a lot of hair, don't want those with large pores, and don't want those with scars on your body.
The last and most important step is to verify whether it is a virgin or not.
After these three links, there is a chance to stand in front of the old emperor.
After a pause, Father-in-law Jia continued: "The first game, start now!" ”
The so-called "viewing appearance" is to look at the gait charm and appearance.
As a result, those with slightly larger feet, thicker wrists, and bad manners were eliminated again.
Some of the girls had nervous little faces that turned pale, sweated on their foreheads, and even worse, rolled their eyes in excitement and fainted.
Lin Sheng looked at these girls who wanted to be selected, and unconsciously wanted to pout, but he still held back.
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the queen, and when she saw the dignified and noble smile on the queen's face, she felt that it was very hypocritical. ()
