"It's really vicious, although the king didn't care about the previous five years of general election. But this is the first time I've seen such things, and not necessarily all of them are aimed at you. The forces of all parties are intertwined, and the major families compete with each other, and every time they have done enough to strive for fairness and justice. ”

"Fair and just, lord, don't you think you don't believe what you say? But your emperor is really overconfident, and there are no guards here. We're sorry for them if we don't go in and have a good walk.

Fengyi Palace occupies a large area, and the main hall is where the queen lives. There are four side halls on the left and right, and there is an open area in the middle. Now a small platform has been erected in front of the open area, and the platform is divided into two parts: high and low. A red carpet has been laid out on the open ground, and the red carpet leads all the way to the palace gate.

"Yang'er, the side halls on both sides are where the ladies rest and change their clothes. High on the platform sat the queen and the concubine. At the bottom is the noble lady judge of the people who did not have a young lady in the capital to participate in the general election. As for who is qualified to be a judge, it is decided by the small hall. Before the primary election, it is absolutely confidential, and whoever dares to leak it out privately. The royal family will be severely punished, the court officials will be demoted to commoners, and the merchants will confiscate their family property. If it is found that there is a private collusion, it is a matter of connecting the nine clans. ”

"Lord Wang, these are all made for the common people to see, right? You really believe it. Even if the dark compartment operation was not so obvious before, this time your emperor will definitely do something. Believe it or not, and we'll see tomorrow. ”

The two of them whispered and went over to inspect the four side halls. The arrangement was really well done, and the name of the young lady participating in the primary election was written on the door of each room. There are people living in the side hall now. In order not to alarm the palace maid, the two of them left after watching it. Behind the side hall is the Imperial Garden. A large semicircle encloses the side hall of the main hall. It has to be said that the emperor's life was luxurious enough. It is not difficult to understand the families who send girls to the general election, as well as those young ladies who dream of being a master.

"Lord Wang, is there anything interesting in the Imperial Garden?"

"Yang'er, the Imperial Garden is a place where the harem ladies often go, and being able to follow the queen around the Imperial Garden is enough to show the position of the ladies in the harem. In fact, each palace has its own small garden, and when my mother was alive, that garden was no smaller than here. That's where I grew up as a child. The King of Joy fell into the memory.

"Which concubine lives there now?"

"Empty, in the early years, the emperor's father often went there to pay his respects, to show that he was a person of great affection. Later, Princess Heqin of Xiling Kingdom moved in, and died of illness inexplicably in less than a year. Later, the palace became an ominous place in the palace. It has been empty for the past few years, but there are also palace maids and mothers-in-law who often clean it. Before the princess of Xiling Kingdom went in, every once in a while I secretly went into the palace to sit there. The route into the palace from the imperial city was made by me in those years. ”

"Your emperor knows all these things, right?"

"He should know, but he never asked. First, I rarely enter the palace, and secondly, we don't see each other a few times very pleasantly. Why did Yang Er ask that? You still suspect that the layout of Fengyi Palace is aimed at you. ”

"Lord Wang, it should be said that it is for the two of us."

"No, could it be that the emperor's father already doubts me? At that time, the king was in a daze, and thought he was dreaming. Where did I show my feet? ”

"No, Miss Ben didn't think it through. Medications and tonics react and cause you to become delirious. How can anyone who can sit on that dragon chair be a simple person? It is his instinct to suspect everything and to take precautions, and it is also necessary to stabilize his position. You can often sneak into the palace, and he doesn't say anything, because he sees through that you are not a threat to him. Now that the primary election is imminent, how can he not guard against you? In the past, you were obsessed with finding out the unjust death of your mother and avenging her. The clues that have been broken in the middle of the way point to the person in your heart, causing you and the prince to contain each other. From one side, it helped him stabilize that position. Now because of me, you and the prince are almost openly fighting. The best outcome is that none of you get the woman you want. In other words, he doesn't want one of your brothers to take the lead and threaten his country. The third prince is shrewd enough, but after all, his qualifications are still shallow. Not enough to compete with either of the two of you.

It was also a move to verify his suspicions. If you visit Fengyi Palace at night for me, and I can't watch you go into danger alone after all. Then the two of us will be a big joke in the palace tonight. My confrontation with the crown prince and the queen has become famous. Your emperor's father also wants to test my ability. ”

"Yang Er, hearing you say this, it is really in line with the character of my emperor father. Is it that we have been secretly watched by him? ”

"Lord Wang, you underestimate Miss Ben's ability too much. We didn't touch a single plant or tree here and took the antidote in advance, and his plan had already lost the opportunity. If Miss Ben is right, there is a battle waiting for us at your mother's palace. ”

"I didn't expect the emperor's father to have such a deep scheming. Originally, this king wanted to take you to see the place where the mother concubine lived. Now there's a pocket waiting for us. ”

"Yes, the son of the Knowing Son is the father. Oh no, there is a situation in that direction. Poplar said as he suddenly pointed in a direction and said in surprise.

"Ahh This is the palace where my mother lived. Who is so bold? Dare to disturb the silence of the dead. The King of Freedom was so angry that he was about to rush out of the place of invisibility, but Poplar hurriedly grabbed him.

"The prince is calm. Maybe there are no people, and they just lead us to show up. Maybe there are really people we can't think of. For now, we quickly left the palace, and it didn't matter if there were really people there or not. ”

"Yang Er will listen to you. We also left from the cold palace. King Xiaoyao said to reflect on his character, if he really rushed out, I am afraid that the emperor's father will settle the old accounts and new accounts together. Thinking about it, I feel that I am afraid that I will become more and more dependent on the poplar.

The two of them left this time from another courtyard of the cold palace. The yard was also barren and grassy, and the dim light in the house was like a ghost fire in a cemetery. The people in the room were humming a low, sad tune. It sounded like a lullaby, like a low cry.

This time without a rope, the King of Freedom pulled Poplar and jumped out of the wall. Disappeared into the dark night of the imperial city in an instant.

"Lord Wang, may you find out who lived in the courtyard just now?"

"It's difficult, all the courtyards of the cold palace are the same. But it is certainly not the place where the concubines are punished. There will be rough mothers-in-law in the palace to help clean up, and the concubines who have been sent to the cold palace will also labor those young ladies who have been eliminated in the primary election, and their yards can at least be cleaner. ”

"The cold palace looks bigger than the area of Fengyi Palace, how many unfortunate people live here? How many people have died of old age here, and their names are not even known after death. Poplar whispered sadly, and then buried the matter in his heart.

In the second half of the night, the two returned to Baifu. From the secret path gods unknowingly returned to their respective rooms. The lights in Poplar's study were just extinguished. The old imperial doctor yawned and said as he walked: "Miss Bai, the antidote should be cleared after taking a few pairs of the prince's poison." In the future, it is time to make up for the prince, and I hope the prince can get better completely. ”

"The old man has worked hard for you these days. The recipe for the tonic is easy to configure. Poplar said as he followed the old imperial doctor back to his room.

Poplar never looked at the room opposite, but she knew there were two pairs of eyes. One pair is what Mama Rong is concerned about, and the other pair is monitored by Xian'er.

The day of the primary election finally arrived, and the carriage of the White King's Mansion came to the Poplar's Mansion just after dawn. The reason is very simple, after the scumbag father and scumbag left the White Mansion in a gloomy manner. The more I thought about it, the more I didn't have confidence in this daughter, and I was afraid that Poplar would take the carriage of the Xiaoyao Mansion to participate in the primary. I couldn't explain it on the prince's side, and I also slapped the face of the White Palace.

"Bai Wangye, Concubine Bai Ping, let's leave after breakfast. I heard that the young ladies who participated in the primary election would line up according to the power of the family. No matter how early you go, you won't be at the front. Bai Yang's words were straightforward, and the faces of the white princes and his wife were gloomy. The foreign surname Wang Ye listened to the scenery, but in fact he had no power and no power. The court did not want to see how resentful the people were. It's okay if you keep a low profile, and you can be as arrogant as the White Palace's Cloud Palace. That's the guy who scolds people's backbones.

"It's really a begging background, and I'll never forget to eat." Miss Wan'er, who was reluctant to follow, sat in the carriage and sneered.

"Who? She hasn't even participated in the primaries yet, so she's like a shrew. It's really a shame for the White Palace. Dad, mother, didn't you ask for grandma in the house? Poplar asked knowingly.

"Wan'er, restrain your temper. Going out represents the face of the White Palace, how do you look like a lady. Concubine Bai Ping said calmly. Poplar's mother's cry made her heart flutter, and the turtles she used to eat here in Poplar have disappeared.

"Erniang, is Miss Ben wrong? I really thought I was the princess now. What a big shelf, we have to come and pick her up. ”

"Wan'er, that's the sister I've never met. Tell you Poplar, I'm not serving the princess's shelf. I rely on the eldest lady of the White Palace. You can go first, you are a young lady raised by a noble family. With me, a beggar like me, wouldn't I lose my identity? Poplar was not angry at all, and said with a smile. It made Bai Wan'er, who was sitting in the car with a young lady's shelf, so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

"Wan'er, you're really disappointing Dad. Where have you learned all the rules that your grandmother taught you? Learn more from your sister, and enter the palace with both glory and loss. The fight is all about the face of the White Palace. "The white prince didn't have a good temper to reprimand. Poplar's father only made him think that this daughter was knowledgeable and reasonable.
