"It's really funny for a beautiful sister to speak, Sister Qingli is a show girl, and a beautiful sister is also a show girl, why does she kowtow to her sister and ask for guilt?" Hua Yuqing looked at the woman, and there was a trace of indescribable incomprehension on Qingjun's little face.
Although these words came out of a child's mouth, it was really reasonable, the show girl's face sank, and then she looked at Qingli again, and said: "If you kowtow to me to make amends, you can stop today's matter, otherwise, I will never let you go." ”
Qingli's face became more and more pale, tears swirled in her eyes, and she was probably conflicted in her heart.
At this moment, someone next to him interjected and reminded: "Do you know that the person you offended is Qin Wanru, the daughter of the new general, and she is also the goddaughter of Jian Yuheng, the governor of Dongchang." ”
As soon as Qingli heard this, her expression turned white in an instant, and a tear flowed out of the corner of her eye, and then she looked at Qin Wanru and said, "Sister, it's my sister, my sister will make amends to you." ”
After saying that, Qingli lifted her long skirt and was about to kneel, but at this time, Hua Yuqing saw the person walking towards them, and immediately let go of Qingli's hand and ran over.
"You're here, sister." Hua Yuqing hugged Hua Qingmo's arm and murmured softly. Then, he looked at Qingli and smiled at Hua Qingmo: "Sister, Sister Qingli bumped into this beautiful sister just now, this sister wants Sister Qingli to make amends and kneel, can my sister talk to this sister, don't let Sister Qingli kneel." ”
"My sister saw it on the side, a very good play." Hua Qingmo looked at the two people in front of her coldly, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips.
Qin Wanru saw that Hua Qingmo was dressed gorgeously, her eyes moved slightly, and she was a little afraid that she would have a noble status. But after thinking about it, I am now an unusual backer, and I can't help but raise my head and chest, extremely proud, and full of confidence.
This change, Hua Qingmo saw it in her eyes, and there was an indescribable smile on the corner of her lips. This talk and deeds, even the daughter of the general, Jian Yuheng's goddaughter, I am afraid that she will not be able to enter Ye Chenxue's eyes. Even if she enters the palace, she is so arrogant and domineering, and she doesn't know how to advance or retreat, she will inevitably not die well, and it is really a waste of her brocade and satin, pearls and jade rings.
"Who are you?" Qin Wanru looked at Hua Qingmo and asked out loud. But when I saw her combing her hair in a bun, I knew that she was married, and the woman who could get in must be the wife of some minister.
Although the concubines selected this time are all official ladies, most of them came from all over the Hua Dynasty, and it is not surprising that they don't know Hua Qingmo. Besides, even if it is one or two official ladies in Lin'an City, few people are qualified to enter the general palace banquet, so there is no one who knows Hua Qingmo's identity now. However, those show girls didn't have a trace of fear when they saw Hua Qingmo facing Qin Wanru, and they couldn't help but guess her identity.
"She just accidentally bumped into you and apologized to you, so why be so aggressive? Aren't you afraid of ruining your godfather's reputation? Moreover, today's emperor chooses a concubine, with the intention of enriching the harem and extending the heirs, when virtue comes first, family background last, every word and deed in the palace needs to remember the name of virtue. Hua Qingmo's voice opened coldly, and the smile on the corner of her lips did not change.
Qin Wanru thought for a while, looked hesitant, and was about to leave, when she suddenly saw the person coming over, and immediately greeted her with a happy face.
"Godfather."
Such a title made the faces of the show girls standing around change greatly, who this Qin Wanru's godfather was, they knew. It's just that no one thought that that person would come back to listen to the wind pavilion today. Suddenly, the surrounding show girls couldn't help but worry about Hua Qingmo and others.
Qin Wanru walked up to Jian Yuheng and looked at his beautiful face, slightly scared, but remembering her father's advice and knowing that this Jian Yuheng was her backer, she forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, and even smiled.
"Good daughter." Jian Yuheng stretched out her hand to attach her hand to Qin Wanru's soft long hair, and the red gold chisel flower inlaid emerald armor she wore on her little finger and ring finger on her right hand, gently picked up her long hair and sniffed it under her nose, her expression seemed to have a trace of satisfaction.
Then, he looked at Hua Qingmo, and the smile on the corner of his lips was slightly deep: "The official was worried that his goddaughter would not be suitable for entering the palace for the first time, so he came over to take a look, and he didn't want to see the princess here, the princess is really leisurely." But that's right, if the princess didn't have leisure and leisure, she wouldn't have raised more than a dozen noodles in the house, so even if she couldn't come back at the age of nine thousand, the princess would not be afraid of being lonely. ”
Jian Yuheng's words made the surrounding show girls stunned for a moment, although they didn't walk around the imperial capital, but last year they had all heard that the county lord of Qinghe and Miss Eight of the Ningjun Royal Mansion were on the wrong sedan chair. They originally looked at Hua Qingmo, thinking that she was probably the wife of a minister, but who would have thought that she would be the wife of a nine-thousand-year-old who leaned towards the government and the opposition.
When Qin Wanru heard this, she suddenly felt a trace of fear in her heart, but she thought that now that Jian Yuheng was in charge of the East Factory, and the power of the nine thousand years old was gone, that trace of fear disappeared in an instant.
"No matter how many noodles Qing Mo raises, it has nothing to do with Father-in-law Jian. Besides, Father-in-law Jian has to pay attention to what he says, what does it mean that he can't come back at the age of nine thousand? Could it be that Father-in-law Jian doesn't want to come back at the age of nine thousand, so that Father-in-law Jian can always be the overseer of the East Factory. Hua Qingmo looked at Jian Yuheng with extremely calm eyes, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her smile was faint like a white cloud slightly crossed in the sky at this time.
Hearing this, Jian Yuheng was not annoyed, but continued with a smile: "Princess Xiao said that she was joking, but it has been almost fifty days since she left at the age of nine thousand, but there has been no news from the northern Xinjiang. The ministers of the DPRK and China are all speculating whether the 9,000-year-old, Prince De, Prince An and others were wiped out by the rebels in the north before they arrived in the northern Xinjiang? ”
"Since it is a guess, there is no real evidence, and Grandpa Jian is now in front of all the beautiful girls, and I am afraid that this matter is a little inappropriate, so we should not disturb the nuns here." Hua Qingmo's gaze moved to Qin Wanru's face, and then smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Jian's daughter is born with a beautiful appearance, but this temperament is too individual, I'm afraid it will have to be sharpened." ”
"Thank you Princess Xiao for her lesson, this official will naturally make her well-behaved and lovely." Jian Yuheng smiled slightly, and kept her hand on Qin Wanru's hair.
Hua Qingmo always felt that there was meaning in her words when she heard this, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't find any other meaning. Looking at Hua Yuqing, Hua Qingmo smiled softly: "Okay, let's go back with my sister!" lest it would be rude for the queen to send someone to look for us later. ”
"Yes, sister." Hua Yuqing nodded, even if she was well-behaved. Then he took Qingli's hand and said loudly: "Sister Qingli promised to send me out, but she can't break her promise and lie to me as a child." ”
This made Qingli slightly stunned, she nodded, and looked at Hua Qingmo with a little fear without speaking.
For this, Hua Qingmo just smiled faintly, and then pulled Hua Yuqing away. When she got outside, Hua Qingmo stopped, looked at Qingli, and said, "Thank you for helping my brother just now, he has a skinny temperament, and he came here when we were eating, and caused you trouble." ”
Xiao ...... Princess Xiao laughed, and Brother Ling didn't make trouble for Qingli. Qingli's voice is delicate and soft, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes look pitiful, which is heartwarming. Hua Qingmo then looked at her clothes, although the clothes she was wearing were newly made, they were not high-quality fabrics, and there were two extremely ordinary silver hairpins inserted in her hair, and there was nothing else to decorate, so it shouldn't be good to think about the family background. After a moment of silence, Hua Qingmo took off the hairpin with jasper prismatic flowers.
When she was about to insert Changzan into Qingli's hair, she immediately took a step back with some fear and said, "Princess Xiao, Qingli doesn't dare to bear such a great favor from the princess. ”
"Don't care, the Qingli girl is beautiful, but the clothes are a little ordinary, which naturally makes people look down on her. You just helped your brother, and this hairpin should be a thank you gift. Hua Qingmo said and inserted the jasper prismatic double-fold hairpin into her hair, which immediately became a little more delicate.
Qingli's face was moved, and she said softly: "Princess Lao Xiao broke the fee, Qingli came from a humble background, I am afraid that I will lose the election this time, but I will live up to the princess's good intentions." ”
"The girl doesn't have to be presumptuous, the queen's choice of concubines and talents has nothing to do with her background." Hua Qingmo comforted her clearly, and then pulled Hua Yuqing and said, "I'm afraid that the palace election in the afternoon is about to start, the girl should go to prepare earlier, and I have to go back to Jiuhua Palace." ”
"Yes, congratulations to Princess Xiao."
After Hua Qingmo left, Qingli looked at her back, and an indescribable cold smile appeared on her delicate and timid face, and then she put the jasper prismatic flowers on her hair, and gently rubbed the jasper carved prismatic flowers on it with her fingertips, and her smile became more and more deep and weird.
After returning to Jiuhua Palace, it was probably only a quarter of an hour before the palace selection began again. After watching the show girl for a morning, Hua Qingmo really felt dazzled at the time, and she didn't want to watch it anymore. But after all, it was Ye Chenxue's will, and she still stayed in Jiuhua Hall for an afternoon until the palace selection was completed.
In this draft, there are about 20 people left, all of whom are of the highest rank, both familiar with poetry and books, and docile and demure people, and Qin Wanru and Xia Qingli, who I saw in Tingfeng Pavilion before, also stayed.
After the palace election, Hua Qingmo wanted to leave the palace earlier, but Ye Chenxue had no choice but to leave a few of them for dinner, so she delayed in Fengqi Palace for a while, and when she was ready to leave the palace, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the palace were bright, which was extraordinarily brilliant and magnificent.
When they left the palace, Princess Xi and Princess Chu did not join them because they were one step ahead, and then only she and Princess De were left to walk towards the palace gate. When he arrived at the outer palace, where the carriage stopped, and when Hua Qingmo was about to get into the carriage, a black shadow suddenly burst out, grabbed Hua Yuqing, and carried him away.
Hua Qingmo was anxious in her heart, and immediately ordered: "Nanhua, Nanjue, Qinghu, go and rescue Yuqing quickly." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
"Yes, young master."
The three of them immediately chased in the direction where the man in black left, Hua Qingmo was anxious, stood in front of the carriage, and did not get into the car. At this time, there was an extremely mournful cry from the carriage of Prince and Princess De.
didn't think too much, Hua Qingmo immediately walked over with Acacia, and at this time, there were coachmen and maids lying next to Princess De's carriage, and blood gushed from their necks.
Seeing this, Hua Qingmo immediately got into the carriage, and when the curtain was lifted, Prince De and Princess De were lying in the carriage. Hua Qingmo immediately helped her up, and at this time she had a jasper prismatic doublet hairpin on her chest, and Hua Qingmo recognized that it was the one she gave to Qingli during the day.
Suddenly, Hua Qingmo's eyes sank, knowing that she was being calculated, and when she was about to leave, the surrounding Jinyi guards came quickly and surrounded her and Acacia in the carriage of Prince De.
