Chapter 8: Unsatisfactory Results
Zhang Erzhen knelt there waiting to be 'put on the sign', and she didn't move for a long time, she peeked at it again, only to see Wan Guifei thoughtfully, and the jade hand on the sandalwood chair seemed to be lit. Zhang Erzhen slandered, didn't let her go, let her get up first!
"Have you ever read any books?" asked the queen very wisely.
Zhang Erzhen wanted to say, "I haven't read anything, I only know a few words", but such a perfunctory answer was afraid of angering the big guy, so he still said in a proper manner: "The young father once asked Mr. to teach his courtiers and read "Women's Rules" and "Women's Rings". The queen nodded with satisfaction, and the saint said slowly: "In the end, it is a scholarly family, it is enough for a woman to know this, and it is useless to have more." Zhang Erzhen was well-behaved, her waist straightened, and she still knelt straight and straight.
"Then ......" As soon as the saint spoke, Zhang Erzhen was secretly happy, but according to the eternal law that things will not go well, an old woman in brown palace clothes was killed on the side, Zhang Erzhen lowered her head and sighed about this precious luxury, I didn't see the old lady whispering a few words in the ear of the big eunuch, and the big eunuch said a few words in the ear of the saint, the queen mother and Wan Guifei didn't know what to say, the saint was embarrassed, and the words changed:
β...... Give the green yarn. β
The two female bosses were surprised, the party Zhang Erzhen thought that she didn't hear clearly, and looked straight over, the saint had already gotten up, a slender and burly man lined with a bright yellow imperial robe, Zhu Youzhu really looked similar to Lao Tzu, and the bead curtain flickered and it was clear that the gloomy color between the eyebrows of the two was very the same. The moment the saint's gaze met Zhang Erzhen, Zhang Erzhen seemed to see a touch of depression and depression, well, she thought too much, and the saint didn't look down on her at all......
When Zhang Erzhen returned to the mansion in a daze, the sun had already set, and the broken intestine was at the end of the world......
Zhang Luan and Jin, who learned the news, looked sad and unclear, looking at their eldest daughter standing straight in front of them, Zhang Luan sighed first: "...... Since they are all left behind, my father can only try to help you dredge up, don't ......"
"Don't give it to the saint...... Jin's mouth quickly picked up, pinched the handkerchief and cried, now the saint is almost fifty years old, Zhen Zhen is only thirteen years old, Jin is also a little reluctant, so many years, she finally has a trace of mother-daughter love for her eldest daughter. Zhang Luan's heart was heavy, and he glanced at his beloved daughter quite distressed, shaking his head and not making a sound. Aunt Tang, who was sitting at the bottom, said: "The girl's name has not come down yet, maybe it will be promised to the prince......"
As soon as Zhang Erzhenfu left the palace gate, he learned who the girl who was left with green yarn this time was, Wang Xiangqin of the Wang family - the queen's niece; An Yuwen of Yi'an Houfu - his father was a powerful minister, and his grandfather had made great achievements; Bai Ruo - it is said that he was born with twelve points of beauty, and the saint stayed in the palace on the spot and was directly named Ruo Zhaoyi; Wei Pujia of the Wei family, the holy prince of Yansheng, was also the daughter of a powerful minister, and she was a hairpin for generations; Wan Xian'er, a distant branch of the Wan family, was estimated to be allowed by Wan Guifei, and was a faction of the Wan family, and then there was the ordinary Zhang girl. Except for Bai Ruo, who decided on the spot, the other five were all panicked.
It's a pity that Liang Aiwan was defeated, but he didn't think about it. It is difficult to guess the saint's thoughts, the queen mother and Wan Guifei are blowing the pillow wind left and right, Zhang Erzhen has no bottom in her heart, how will she be arranged? According to her age, she is the youngest, and the possibility of being left by the saint is the least, and according to the status of the father, there is no need for the saint to win over Zhang Luan. In terms of total value, Zhang Erzhen feels that he is really a burden, and he will be assigned to which unit to live his next life is really not out of the limelight at all. Therefore, as soon as Aunt Tang's words came out, Zhang Erzhen's heart swelled with a thick sense of eccentricity, will it be assigned to the crown prince?
Jin sighed, Zhang Luan is a mature and stable patriarch, he knows that it is useless to frown his eyebrows at home, so he went out with a flat-headed four-cornered hat, where will his own girl be assigned to, he, as a father, must inquire clearly. Zhang Erzhen found a round stool to sit on, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious and mysterious she felt, and patiently accompanied the Jin family for a while, and after dinner, she returned to the butterfly courtyard.
The maids in the room were waiting, Hua Mama and the nurse, Mingyue, Jin Qiu Yinqiu and the newly raised spring breeze and spring breeze saw the girl come back with a face, the water was served, the handkerchief was washed, and Zhang Erzhen sat down comfortably, and when she sat down, Zhang Erzhen motioned for the girls to go out, leaving only Mama Hua. Mama Hua sat on the other side of the soft pavilion cushion, and her eyebrows were also worried.
Zhang Erzhen looked at it for a while before sighing, "Mama, have you seen the prince?"
Mama Hua's face seemed to struggle for a while, and she was defeated in Zhang Erzhen's pure and trusting eyes: "The girl guessed?"
Zhang Erzhen was melancholy: "I just feel strange these days, but I suddenly remembered it just now, you and the prince are old acquaintances, and it is not unusual for you to meet in private." But Mama, what should I do now that I have neither been appointed to the crown prince nor remained in the palace?"
In previous years' draft, the girl who was left in the green yarn was left in the palace to become one of the three thousand beauties without accident, this time it was a little strange, except for the extremely beautiful Bai Ruo girl who was left to be a mother, the remaining five were duckweed-like, Hua Mama looked stunned, and whispered: "Girl...... There is a high probability that it will be pointed out to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. β
Zhang Erzhen couldn't cry or laugh: "Mama, aren't you 100% sure that I will be pointed out to the prince when you calculate?"
Mama Hua looked surprised: "...... When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to me, I felt that it was not possible. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my big one, he rarely asks me to do anything so seriously, I also think that the girl and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are suitable, so I ...... "That's why I want to match the girl to be a princess, this is the prince's package, otherwise Mama Hua will never agree." Mama Hua's voice became lower and lower, because Zhang Erzhen's big watery eyes were staring at her, and she was a little ashamed. The girl was so good to her, but she acted like this behind the girl's back, and she knew that the girl was unwilling to be chosen.
Zhang Erzhen caught a glimpse of Mama Hua's withered hands unconsciously grabbing the skirt, and couldn't bear it, so she poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it to Mama: "Alasβwhat should I do now?" Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you about the follow-up status?
Mama Hua looked dazed, and when she realized that the girl was not angry, she was a little happy, and then said sadly: "I actually forgot, the fourth prince has also reached the age when it is time to make a concubine......
The fourth prince, Zhu Youqi, was twelve years old......
Zhang Erzhen's eyes widened in surprise, she was going to find a wife at the age of twelve, would she be too young? But think about the fact that she is only thirteen years old, if she is married to the twelve-year-old fourth prince, she will be able to get by in terms of age. Obviously, Mama Hua thought more comprehensively, her face turned white in an instant, and the calm courage she had trained in the palace was gone: "If the girl is really given to the four princes, what will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do?"
"Mama, don't forget, Miss Wang, Miss An, Miss Wan, Miss Wei are all here, and you can also give it to the prince. After Zhang Erzhen comforted her, she felt that it would be good if she could really be a princess, she would have face, and as long as she did not participate in the struggle for the throne, she could live a stable, happy and luxurious life. Concubine Shao's output is amazing, three princes and two princesses come out of her belly, Zhang Erzhen feels that it is much better to marry Zhu Youqing, who is never masked, than to be a little wife with Zhu Youzhen.
Who knew that Mama Hua said with a solemn face: "Miss Wang will not be allowed to His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Wan has some opportunities." "In the open and secret battle between the queen mother and Wan Guifei, the queen mother has never won, and the result this time must be the same, it's not very interesting," As for Miss Wei and Miss An, it's hard to say. "Let's not mention how clear these two girls are, that is, their father is a hot figure now, and whoever becomes the crown princess is a good thing for the prince. Mama Hua suddenly regretted that the possibility of the girl being elected as the crown princess was too low, she was too confused, and she shouldn't have inserted such a lever.
Seeing Mama Hua's unpredictable expression, Zhang Erzhen was a little helpless, you have figured it out at this time, but the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless, "Mama, I don't want to marry the prince......" Zhang Erzhen sighed and said: "You are from the palace, and you have seen a lot of those people who are cheating and calculating, how many beauties in the harem, and who can the emperor favor in the end?" Wan Guifei has been favored alone for many years, and who in the harem looks at her pleasing to the eye, how many swords are there in the open and in secret, and a careless person is gone, I am not suitable for such days." "After so many years of cultivation here, she doesn't mind sharing a husband with other beauties, but the premise is that everyone else calculates her little life, which is not good. Zhang Erzhen felt that she didn't calculate the thoughts and guts of others, but what about other people? If she is favored, she will be targeted by everyone, and if she is not favored, she will be trampled under the feet of the palace maids and eunuchs, and it is too much to live.
Mama Hua was immersed in the beautiful grand plan depicted by Zhu Youzhi before, and a beautiful picture of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Zhang in her mind almost appeared in her mind, but she was so excited and excited that she ignored many things, such as how much His Royal Highness the Prince's favor is, whether it can last long, and whether Miss Zhang will definitely enter the East Palace? Mama Hua lowered her head in shame, she couldn't help Miss Zhang.
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said anything else?"
β...... Just say that he will arrange it, and don't worry about the rest. β
Zhang Erzhen is no longer able to complain, and Mama Hua is also a person who looks like a human spirit, how can she be so gullible about Zhu Youjiao. If Zhu Youzhu dared to run in front of her to speak, she would naturally not be polite, and it would be good to greet Prince Zhu to have a good experience of Chinese kung fu.
A few families are happy and a few are sad, Mrs. Liang is depressed between her eyebrows, she is leaning on the delicate and luxurious rich peony golden dark pattern of the big pillow and angry, and the delicate Liang Aiwan Mei is sitting with tears hanging between her eyelashes, looking at the lovely. Mrs. Liang was even more angry: "My late son was born so Zhong Lingliu and beautiful, how can he not be as good as the Zhang family?!"
Liang Aiwan couldn't cry with tears in her eyes, and Mrs. Liang said irritably: "What kind of evil have I created, you and your second brother are not worried! Yu'er let the two sisters of the Li family harm, and now you are ...... , Ming'er Niang will plan for you, since you can't enter the East Palace, you will marry in Beijing. β
Liang Aiwan has always been dominated by Mrs. Liang, and has passed by many times in front of the ladies before, Mrs. Liang either trusts relationships or goes to connections, thinking that her daughter will enter the East Palace safely, there is absolutely no doubt that Mrs. Liang can think of the worst side is to be a prince and concubine, but now ...... , where to find a good son for a while, my daughter is already sixteen years old...... Thinking of this, Mrs. Liang couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "Why is my life so bitter...... It's all that slut, she must be in it to stir up the peace, stir up our house is restless, don't cry at night, my mother will plan for you!"
