Chapter 22: The Uninvited Guest (2)
When Sakura heard this, she was really interested, and no longer insisted on going in person, but only told a palace maid who came with her: "Shan'er, take a closer look, but if there is a flaw in the slightest, you must also stare at them and make up for it in person." ”
While speaking, several little palace maids had already agreed and walked into the courtyard, and only Jinping and Ying'er were left outside the courtyard gate. Ying'er urged Jinping repeatedly: "If it weren't for the auspiciousness of this morning, I would definitely follow Niangniang to the Lin De Hall for a long time." Let's talk about it, what kind of young lady is it, as soon as she entered the palace, she made an exception and agreed on the rank of Zhaoyi and Jieyu? Now that less than half a day has passed, the entire harem has spread, and everyone wants to see the faces of these new nobles. ”
Jinping deliberately stretched her, pointed to the Taihu Lake stone that Lai Xing'er was hiding behind and said: "The front of this courtyard is not a place to talk, there must be shade behind the big stone, let's go there and talk about it." ”
When Lai Xing'er heard this, a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead: if they found themselves hiding behind the stone, they would inevitably have an interrogation, so wouldn't they delay the big thing? He eagerly turned his head to look around, and was pleasantly surprised to find a small stream about five or six zhang away from the Taihu Lake Rock, and the side of the stream was covered with artemisia grass more than half a person high.
Jinping stayed in the shaded place behind the stone, Fang smiled and said to Ying'er: "Sister, don't worry, and listen to me carefully: to say that our mother is really worthy of being born in the family, and she hides big things in her heart, and makes the well-informed Duke of Jin Guo dumbfounded on the spot, and she can't speak for a long time......"
"You little girl, you love to hang people's appetite the most." Sakura pretended to be annoyed, turned around and was about to leave, "I can't tell you clearly, why don't I go in and have a look." ”
Jinping hurriedly grabbed her and apologized: "Good sister, sister doesn't dare anymore." Can't I just start at the beginning? ”
Sakura repeatedly proposed to enter the Shangfu Bureau, which made Lai Xing'er, who was hidden in the grass not far away, feel moved: Could it be that she was in a hurry to meet the masked woman? Immediately, he dispelled this idea again: Sakura is different from Jinping, she grew up in the East Palace since she was a child, how could she be the eyeliner that Furong planted?
I only heard Jinping continue excitedly: "My sister also knows that in previous years, when newcomers were elected to the palace, the most discussed rank was only a talent of five grades, so early this morning in the Lin De Palace, the rank of each person listed on the list of people on the list of proposals presented by the Duke of Jin to the two mothers was according to the previous year, and there was nothing special about it. I vaguely remember that there were 37 people who discussed the title, and the rest were all Baolin and the royal maid, totaling more than 200 people. My mother-in-law looked at the list of the seals at the time, and did not speak, but after the newcomers entered the palace and were introduced, the thirty-seven people who were appointed to the seal were left behind, and the rest of the people retreated, and said to the Jin Kingdom: "This year's selection of newcomers to the palace is different from previous years, and the palace has to act cautiously, and the palace has to act cautiously, and order everyone to come forward one by one, from the Chen family, origin, and wait for the palace and Concubine Li's sister to discuss the rank. The Duke of Jin seemed to know that there was such a section, and called the thirty or so newcomers to whisper some advice, and then ordered everyone to step forward in turn and report to their homes.
Although there were more than a dozen people who came up in front of the head with outstanding appearance and prominent family background, after my mother saw it, she didn't say anything, but kept nodding. I stood beside my mother, and found that two or three of your mothers were quite concerned about them, and asked about some talents. It wasn't until a newcomer with a high nose and deep eyes and a long body approached and reported his name and family history that my mother asked: 'Ashina Yunshao? Who are you from the Khan? Ashina Yunshao Shili replied: "The Khan of the Past is the ancestor of the fifth generation. My mother-in-law smiled and said that the Jin Kingdom was fair: "It turned out to be a descendant of the ****** Khan." Even so, the original discussion of the rank is very inappropriate, according to the palace, this woman can negotiate Jieyu. When the Duke of Jin heard this, he was not surprised, but reminded Niangniang with a smile: "The concubine is promoted to the third rank, and the emperor must decide it himself." My mother replied, "Let's just discuss it first, and then the emperor will naturally decide it himself." Then, another woman Zheng Marriage, who was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the five high surnames in the world, was named by her mother to be named Jieyu, and so far, two people have been exceptionally named as high-grade concubines......"
Lai Xing'er listened very bored in the grass, and looked in front of the Shangfu Bureau with his eyes open, but he didn't see anyone coming out, and he couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.
