Handan City, can be called the world's most concentrated beauty place, what Zhongshan Ming, Xindu Demon Girl, Di Miaoyin, Handan dance, as long as the Zhao kings want, there are countless beauties can be picked......

However, because King Zhao Huiwen learned the lesson of his father King Zhao Wuling, he did not prosper the harem, and Zhao Wang Dan succeeded to the throne for a short time, and it was too late to accept beauties among the people, so the beauties in the palace were a little green.

As for those who were sold into the palace as slaves, most of them didn't live a rich life when they were young, so most people were mediocre, they could only achieve straight teeth, no scars on their faces, and there were only a few people with outstanding appearances, and Mingyue was used to it on weekdays.

But just like tonight, twenty or thirty young palace maids with the best posture in Fengtai were prostrate in front of him, looking at him with affection, but it was still something that had never happened before.

What's going on? Beauty pageant?

He hurriedly called him over, just because of this, he suddenly said helplessly: "Mother, you are ......"

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said: "The best-looking palace maids in the mother's palace are all here, who do you want to take to Qi country, pick it." ”

She didn't talk about helping her 15-year-old son find a woman at all, but took it as usual. At that time, her mother, Queen Qi Min also picked the maid who served by her brother Tian Fazhang, and the Empress Dowager Zhao was still a girl with hanging sideburns at that time, hiding behind the curtain and peeking, looking at her brother's stunned expression, eating and laughing......

At that time, the queen mother pointed at her and scolded her, saying that Ji Fei, you don't have to laugh, when you marry a certain monarch, give birth to a son, and raise them when they grow up, you must also choose people around them.

At that time, Ji Fei, the princess of Qi State, had a feverish face and was shy......

The sun and the moon are not drowned, spring and autumn are in order, thirty years, in a blink of an eye, the former girl of Qi has become the current Empress Dowager Zhao, she is already a half-hundred old woman, and she has to worry about her son's affairs.

Her eldest son, Zhao Wangdan, who eats both men and women, is self-conscious, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has secretly accepted several palace maids, and he does not need to be taught. On the contrary, it was Chang Anjun, because he was not in good health, he had been taken by the Empress Dowager Zhao all the time, and he didn't know about men and women, so the Empress Dowager Zhao felt that she needed to push him.

Besides, when her son is not in Handan, she has a trustworthy person around to take care of him, so that he can eat and drink without worry, and there is someone to help him with dressing and belting.

So Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand very generously: "Pick it, if you can get into your eyes, you will take it all to Linzi!" I guess my brother Wang can't live in a too narrow yard for his nephew, right? ”

Take it all away? Are you kidding! Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh, he had been working hard these days, not only for the layout of the Battle of Changping in five years, but also for tomorrow's trip to Qi, but the thing that Empress Dowager Zhao was most concerned about was to find him a maid to serve by his side.

However, Empress Dowager Zhao's posture that if you don't pick me, I won't let you go to Linzi, so he had no choice but to turn his head again and look at the twenty or thirty palace maids......

For more than 2,000 years, the Chinese race has not changed much, and the aesthetics have not deviated too much, these people are the best among the palace ladies, and their appearance is good even if they are placed in the future life. They combed their sideburns one by one, knelt side by side in front of them, like a large dark cloud, their faces were washed clean, and their eyes were bright looking at Chang Anjun, full of expectation.

Born from a low background, or from a poor family, or the daughter of a sinner, she has served in the deep palace all her life, and she is lonely, so being assigned to a certain prince to go outside with him is a better way out, and the palace ladies are very active.

They should have known the news in advance, so they dressed up specially and wore a bright and moving straight deep coat, cut into narrow sleeves according to the habits of Zhao Guo, just as Qu Yuan said in the poem, "Huacai clothes are like Ying", and "red clothes are opened, and green drifting is the dress", the red top with the emerald green bottoms is the most eye-catching color. Twenty or thirty people are like a cluster of flowers, blooming in the sun, just waiting for the bees to pick them.

It's just that the red and green that later generations criticized, Mingyue doesn't like it very much.

He prefers a more plain color.

In a group of red and green drifts, there is only one palace maid in the back wearing a simple pale white dress, hanging her head silently, looking at her position from the bright moon, but she can't see her appearance clearly, only knowing that her neck is slender and her skin is very white.

Mingyue pointed at her and said, "You raise your head." ”

The two palace maids in front of the woman with heavy makeup thought they were calling them, so they hurriedly got up excitedly, but saw Chang Anjun shake his head and waved his hand, letting them dodge away, revealing the people behind them.

There was no one to cover it, and the candlelight in the room shone on her without hesitation, and the plain-clothed palace maid was startled, and slowly raised her head, with some panic in her eyes.

But I saw that she had fair skin, a middle-to-upper countenance, a slightly wide forehead, a quiet and soft eyebrows, the bun hair on her head was combed back, her hair drooped, and the middle of the hair style was tied with a red silk bundle, and the tail was coiled up and knotted into a silver ingot, which was fixed with a wooden flute.

Mingyue felt that this woman was familiar, and asked her, "When I was sick in bed a few days ago, did you take care of me?" ”

The plain-clothed palace maid bowed down and said, "The slave maid has the honor to serve the prince twice. ”

Mingyue nodded, the palace maids who served him changed every day or two, and there were seven or eight before and after, but Mingyue had a good impression of this woman. He is already very sensitive to getting along with people, and the body movements and details of the person who fed him decoction and food on the other side, Mingyue can interpret many things in his eyes.

Taking care of the sick is a boring thing, and the other palace maids are inevitably a little slack after a long time, yawning, and in a daze, and they will not always look at Chang Anjun, who seems to be sleeping. Only this woman was careful from beginning to end, she was not lazy at all, Mingyue got up when she was thirsty, she could come to her side to help as soon as possible, and her movements were also very gentle and gentle, making him very comfortable.

What's even more rare is that when the beginning of Ming Chu arrived, they kept asking them some things inside and outside the palace, and the other palace maids broke their mouths, asked a few words casually, and said everything like beans.

This palace maid alone has her own choices, and she answers everything that doesn't matter, and she answers it very methodically. But sensitive things, she gently pursed her lips and said that she didn't know.

It can be seen that she is a conscientious and cautious person, Mingyue sees people very accurately, and she will not be wrong this time.

Although she was not the prettiest of the people present, and her dress was extremely ordinary, she ......

Mingyue went to Qi Country here, not to avoid disaster and pleasure, but to gild and become famous, and the sound shocked the world, even if it was the maid around him, what he needed was such a low-key and cautious person!

So he pointed to the woman and said, "It's her!" ”

……

"She? Nuqi? ”

Mingyue designated the candidate, but it made Empress Dowager Zhao frown.

It turned out that her name was Nuqi, and in the palace, palace maids were not allowed to use their original surnames.

Mingyue smiled: "What, the queen mother is unwilling?" The queen mother just said that anyone she likes can take it away. ”

"You have a little bit of an eye, this girl is the most thoughtful to serve me on weekdays, but it's just ......"

Empress Dowager Zhao hesitated for a while, but she didn't say anything, this Nu Qi is the daughter of a criminal minister, although her background is a little unusual, but she has been honest in the palace for more than ten years, since her son can see it, let her follow.

But one is enough, she asked Mingyue to pick a few more, but Mingyue felt that it was enough.

"Queen Mother, food and other things, there is a cook sent by the queen mother, and the person who waits for me to dress and wash in the house, one person is enough, and the son is the most annoying to be noisy in the room, have you forgotten the queen mother?"

"It's okay......" Empress Dowager Zhao gave up at this time, and called the plain-clothed palace maid named "Nuqi", and told her that she must take care of Chang'anjun's daily life!

"Only ......"

That Nuqi was picked by Chang'anjun, she could get out of the deep palace, and was envied and jealous by the other palace maids next to her, but she didn't see any joy herself, she just lightly promised, bowed down, and followed Chang'anjun obediently, looking at the floor with her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

However, when Empress Dowager Zhao thought that her youngest son was going to leave Handan tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, took his hand, stopped talking several times, and sighed.

However, Mingyue has been saying something pleasing to make Empress Dowager Zhao laugh, and asking some about the situation of Qi to divert her attention.

Slowly, Empress Dowager Zhao also recovered from her grief and began to talk and laugh with Mingyue about what happened when she was in Qi State.

……

"Linzi City is very large, twice as big as Handan, and twice as many people...... Every spring bath, my father would take us to play by the Zishui, and our princesses and daughters would sit on the mat and eat delicious food, watch Tian's brothers and uncles shoot hunts, or race horses, cheering them on. ”

"There is also the community festival in Linzi, which is the most lively time of the year, countless people are next to each other, playing the pipe, drumming, building, playing the piano, cockfighting, horning, everything. At this time, the nobles of the five capitals of Qi, and even the sons and grandsons of Yan and Lu, will come over to see the excitement. At this time, the defense of men and women was very relaxed, and the taxis and women of the common families walked in pairs on the street, and they were stunned by the public and the women in our private clothes in the car......"

Speaking of the past, Empress Dowager Zhao smiled with crow's feet in her eyes, but said: "But the princesses and daughters of the Tian family are very strictly restrained, and they have to follow their husbands and daughters to learn female popularity and literacy since they were young, and they are all very virtuous. So others say that the daughters of Zhao Nu, Chu Nu, and Zheng Wei are good, but I think Qi Nu is the best choice for the eldest woman. ”

"The queen of Qi is the daughter of the Ju Taishi family, who saved the life of the royal brother when the Qi country was in trouble, so the royal brother was grateful for the kindness and married her. Although the two of them did not conform to the etiquette system, after the queen followed the royal brother back to Linzi, she was very virtuous and decent, the palace was very properly managed, and the letters and condolences with me were also very decent. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Mingyue and said solemnly: "My son, you don't want to pick more handmaidens, probably because you think they are crude and humble and don't look down on them." When you get to the palace of Linzi Qi, you have to take a good look at it, if there is a princess who can see it, you can write to tell your mother, and you can say kiss for your mother......"

Empress Dowager Zhao wants to hug her grandson and want to go crazy, Mingyue is a little funny: "Mother, why did you talk about this again?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said as a matter of course: "This is a major event in your life, so you naturally have to pay attention to your mother!" What's more, if Qi Zhao can marry again, it will also be close to each other. ”

She has already begun to envision the future beautifully: "If you can marry a princess and come back, and talk to your mother about Qiguo, it will not be in vain that you will leave for so long......

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that Linzi, which was once full of flowers in her memory, had been greatly decayed in the campaign of the Five Kingdoms, and her son was going to leave after all, Empress Dowager Zhao's face suddenly froze, and she fell silent and stopped talking.

Mingyue also hung her head and was silent, I don't know how long it took, Empress Dowager Zhao beckoned, asked the palace maid to come over, and handed a purple robe to Mingyue.

Touching the smooth fabric, Mingyue said, "Mother, this is ......"

"Qi Guo is well-dressed, although it is also a Huazhang summer dress, but it is slightly different from Zhao Guo, he likes high crowns and broad belts, golden swords and wooden shields, and the color is purple as the most expensive. As the saying goes, when you go to the country of Qi, you have to wear Qi-style clothes to be accepted by the nobles of the country of Qi. This set of deep clothes is made by your own hands for your mother who is busy these days, so you can take it to Linzi......"

"Mother......" Mingyue felt that her nose was a little sour.

Empress Dowager Zhao is the regent empress dowager, every day to discuss state affairs with the courtiers, deal with the court and politics until late to sleep, the material of this deep coat is ready-made, she may only sew the ready-to-wear part, but the needle and thread on it, but it also takes a lot of time.

Her increasingly squinting eyes, the occasional needle in her hand, are because of this dress......

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs.

"Who is careless in his words and repays Sanchunhui?"

Mingyue silently recited this sentence in his heart, he stood up and said, "Nuqi, come and serve me to change clothes!" ”

Nu Qi came as promised, helped Chang An Jun take off his coat, and helped him put on the purple clothes that condensed the efforts of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and her movements were still so neat.

This dress really doesn't go an inch or a foot off, it's completely suitable!

Mingyue raised her hand, turned around in place, and showed in front of the Empress Dowager Zhao: "The clothes made by the queen mother are good, and they are the most comfortable to wear!" ”

"You kid......"

After giving Empress Dowager Zhao a little relief, Mingyue bowed her head and solemnly swore:

"Mother, Master Zuo and Pingyuan Jun predict that this trip to Qi Country will be as short as three months or as long as half a year, and we will take the winter day as the deadline, and before your birthday, my son will definitely return safely!"
