Chapter 61: Candidates for Princess Jin

Lin Jiaojiao was speechless in her heart, why did she participate in the selection of the future princess for King Jin?

Thinking of this morning, she just woke up and watched the dog emperor, who had been dressed and ready to go to court, turn back to the bed, and couldn't help but complain when she said the words softly.

What did he say, yes, it seemed to be what he said.

"Since it was Concubine Ai who mentioned King Jin's marriage, and you grew up together, you should know what kind of woman King Jin likes, so let's go to Cining Palace today to help the queen mother choose the future princess of Jin."

Is this a human speech?

The imperial concubine is still alive, is it her turn to get a little palace concubine to help choose Princess Jin? If the imperial concubine knew about this, she might not hate herself.

But the Dog Emperor had already spoken, what could she do, she could only get up and pack up in a hurry and come to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to choose a candidate for the future Princess Jin.

"Jiaobao, what do you think of this young lady of the palace family?"

The Queen Mother holds a portrait of a woman in a long blue dress. The face is graceful, and the smell of books exudes all over the body. The shallow smile on the corner of the mouth makes people look very comfortable.

Lin Jiaojiao glanced at it and nodded: "Miss Gong looks like a gentle woman, and as the princess of the palace, she will definitely be able to manage the backyard well." ”

The message of Miss Gong family flashed in her mind, the palace family is a scholarly family, although it is not as powerful as the queen's maiden family, but there are also a lot of literati, some of whom are officials in the court and have an excellent reputation.

It can be seen that the Queen Mother really wants to choose a good wife for King Jin, and has no other thoughts.

"Queen Mother, no matter what you say, it is King Jin's own marriage, and the concubines feel that they should let the imperial concubine and King Jin choose by themselves."

The Queen Mother sighed when she heard this, took the teacup and took a sip.

"You're right, but this royal daughter-in-law is different from the family's daughter-in-law. As for the imperial concubine, she is the biological mother of King Jin, but she is not qualified to speak on King Jin's marriage. ”

This is the royal rule, if the emperor is alive, maybe a special exception will be made for the imperial concubine. But now that her son is sitting on the dragon chair, naturally he will not give her such a special case.

Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, it seems that she still needs to understand some things here, and mistakes like today can't be made again.

This time it's because she had a pretty good relationship with King Jin in the past, and it's not incomprehensible to say such a thing.

"It's the concubine who wants to be bad."

The Queen Mother patted her hand and smiled gently: "The mourning family knows that you had a good relationship with King Jin in the past, so they naturally hope that he can get a woman with a good heart as his wife." ”

Lin Jiaojiao showed a well-behaved smile, and her eyes fell on the portrait of Miss Gong Jia. Why didn't she remember which lady the princess of King Jin was in the original book? I don't know if it's this Miss Gong in front of me?

In fact, there are a lot of portraits on this table, but just looking at the portrait of the queen mother who proposed the palace lady, it can be seen that she is the most satisfied with this one.

"The queen mother has the most powerful eye for people, you think this young lady of the palace family is good, it must be a good one. Giving her a second marriage to King Jin must be a splendid relationship. ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "You, you are used to saying nice things to make the mourning family happy." ”

"What's the matter, what the concubine said is the truth."

The Queen Mother flipped through those portraits several times, and finally picked out a few more, and the rest were removed.

Looking at the Queen Mother's actions, Lin Jiaojiao didn't ask much. Because she knew that the Queen Mother would not give her marriage immediately, she would have to wait until she saw the real person at her birthday banquet before she could make a decision.

Lin Jiaojiao accompanied the Queen Mother to talk to relieve her boredom, and left Cining Palace after lunch.

As the Empress Dowager's birthday approached, vassal kings from all over the country arrived in Shangjing. All of a sudden, both the palace and Shangjing became more and more lively.

In Fengyi Palace, after the treatment of the imperial doctor and the careful service of the palace people, the queen's body finally recovered. His face was ruddy, and he looked plump than before.

After taking the tea offered by Du Mo, the queen just moistened her mouth and put it aside.

Although she is recuperating in the closed palace, the things in the harem are very clear.

"Concubine Shu really took this opportunity to install a lot of her own people, but Niangniang wants to get rid of all these people?"

I don't know if it's because of the silence during the period of recuperation in the closed palace, the queen mother is now more and more calm, and the nobility on her body is getting stronger and stronger.

The queen shook her head, leaning casually on the pillow.

"Concubine Shu has always acted cautiously, and now that she holds the palace power in her hands, she doesn't see any change in her actions. On the contrary, she is becoming more and more cautious, even if we get rid of those people, she will always have a way to insert them again. It's better to keep these people under your nose and maybe use them again. ”

In the days of recuperation, she thought about many things. The emperor was reluctant to touch her under such circumstances, which shows that he may not have the opportunity to have his own children in this life.

However, as the queen, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, even the emperor can't abolish her throne for no reason. What's more, after being married for a few years, she also knows that the emperor is not a stupid person.

At least in front of people, he has always given her queen face, just as he said to himself on the day he ascended the throne.

"As long as you don't make big mistakes, no one can shake the queen's position. But I won't give anything else. ”

Now that I think about the rest of what he said, it is probably love and the prince.

Hooked his lips to reveal a bitter smile, suppressing the vague hatred in his heart. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were clear.

"The last incident must be cleaned up, and the emperor must not be allowed to find any clues."

Du Mo helped the queen who got up, and hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely not find any clues." ”

This time, I used the manpower left by the ancestors in the house, but I am afraid that it will be damaged after this time.

"Niangniang is now well, but do you want to take back the palace power?"

"The Queen Mother's birthday is coming, let Concubine Shu take care of it for a few more days, and wait until the Queen Mother's birthday is over."

Holding Du Mo's hand, the queen walked out of the palace and looked at the bright sunshine outside, which seemed to blow away a lot of the gloom in her heart. Since you can't grasp the emperor's heart, then firmly grasp the power in your hands.

The queen's slowly hooked lips were a little sharper in their dignity.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Queen Mother's birthday came, and early in the morning, Lin Jiaojiao was pulled up from the bed by Chu Xue and a few people, and closed her eyes and let a few people serve her.

When I sat down in front of the dresser, I came to my senses.

"Niangniang, let's comb a flying fairy bun today, right? With that wide-sleeved fairy skirt, it will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd. ”

Lin Jiaojiao looked at herself in the mirror, thought about it and nodded: "Okay, just dress up as you say." ”

When she finished dressing up, she stood in front of a one-person-tall mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

is really a great beauty, properly the capital of trouble.

She looked at her smooth forehead and rolled her eyes. beckoned Chu Lu to come over and gave a few commands.

The red cinnabar drew a beautiful and delicate three-petal flower in the center of the eyebrows, and a tear mole was dotted with an eyebrow pencil at the corner of the eye.

The already delicate little face became more and more delicate and charming, and the tears in the corners of her eyes made her a little more delicate.

"The mother is so beautiful!"

Chu Xue's eyes were full of amazement, she always knew that their mother was beautiful, but today it seems to be even more beautiful, and even she can't help but be fascinated by it as a woman.

Looking at several palace maids looking at themselves in a daze, Lin Jiaojiao was in a very good mood and hooked her lips.

"Let's go, let's go to Fengyi Palace first."

On the queen mother's birthday, the palace concubines must go to Fengyi Palace first, and then the queen mother will take the palace concubines to Cining Palace together.

Now that the summer is past the hottest time, Lin Jiaojiao is sitting in the luanyu, and the light yarn will not get the sun in front of some sunshine.

She propped her head on one hand and leaned lazily on the soft pillow. was closing his eyes to recuperate, and Luan Yu slowly stopped. When she opened her eyes and saw the person standing next to Luanyu, she raised her eyebrows?

"The concubine sees the concubine Niangniang."

"The dancing nobles should also be going to the queen's Fengyi Palace, so it's better to go together."

She called the person up, and her eyes were only on the dancing nobleman, revealing a gentle smile.

"Yes."

The dancing nobleman looked at the concubine sitting on the luanyu, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes. This extremely prosperous face really responds to that sentence.

Looking back and smiling, the six palace concubines have no color.

When she came back to her senses, the concubine's Luan Yu had already walked some distance, and she hurriedly followed with people's footsteps.

When Lin Jiaojiao arrived at Fengyi Palace, all the concubines had already arrived. Because this is the Queen Mother's birthday, all the concubines in the harem have to participate.

This is also the first time Lin Jiaojiao has seen all the concubines in the harem, this glance swept over, it was really full of flowers, and there were all kinds of types.

Under all kinds of jealous and envious eyes, Lin Jiaojiao sat down in her place leisurely, she glanced at Concubine Shu, who had not had time to put away her jealousy, and smiled slightly.

"I haven't seen you for many days, and Sister Shufei looks more and more beautiful than before."

She knew that since Concubine Shu took over the palace power, although she acted no different from usual, she had become more and more cautious. But this spirit is full of energy, and even the whole person is much more beautiful than before.

The palace people in Yuehua Palace walked outside, and their waists were much straighter than before.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled gently: "Sister Guifei will make fun of the concubines, I am afraid that there is no one in this harem who can match your beauty by one ten-thousandth." ”

Lin Jiaojiao was happy when she heard this, touched her face, and said with a smile: "This palace also thinks so." ”

The smile on the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth froze, and she secretly scolded a fool in her heart.

Originally, I thought that the concubine had become smarter, but the corner of her eye glanced at the resentment in the eyes of the other concubines, and the corners of her mouth hooked, it turned out that she was still so stupid.

When the queen came out with Du Mo's hand, she saw the bright and dazzling Lin Guifei at first sight. She paused, but only for a moment before returning to normal.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother Jin An."

The queen sat on the phoenix chair, with a dignified smile on her face, and her voice was gentle: "Get up, today is the queen mother's birthday, so I won't waste time here in the palace, let's go to Cining Palace together." ”

Hula, a group of people got up and followed the queen out of Fengyi Palace according to their position, and walked in the direction of Cining Palace.

It is not too far from Fengyi Palace to Cining Palace, but these delicate and noble little masters under the sun are not very comfortable.

Lin Jiaojiao leaned comfortably on the soft pillow, secretly glad in her heart. Thanks to the fact that the body she crossed over was a concubine, if she was allowed to walk in the sun for so long, I am afraid that this carefully painted makeup would have to be spent.

When she arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, Lin Jiaojiao helped Chu Xue's men to get under Luanyu and followed the queen into Cining Palace.

As soon as I entered Cining Palace, I heard the laughter of the Queen Mother inside.

The queen walked briskly, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"See the Queen Mother."

"See the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was in a very good mood at this time, and she lovingly told everyone to get up.

At the same time as the queen got up, two beautiful voices sounded.

"See the Queen."

The queen stepped forward with a smile and helped her up, and said with a smile: "It turned out that An Ning and An Ran came, and the palace said why the queen mother was so happy." ”

The two princesses, An Ning and An Ran, are very loved by the Queen Mother, although they are not biological, but they can be regarded as having been raised by their side since childhood.

The two sisters of An Ning and An Ran had a low status as the mother concubine, and after they were born, they were raised by the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, so the relationship was also very deep.

Naturally, the relationship between the two and Lin Jiaojiao is also very good, and they winked at Lin Jiaojiao secretly.

Now that the queen is here, An Ning and An Ran naturally have the insight to give up the position next to the queen mother and sit next to Lin Jiaojiao.

The Queen Mother looked at the flower-like concubines with joy on her face. But I was secretly worried in my heart, there are so many palace concubines, why none of them are pregnant?

Lin Jiaojiao watched the queen talk with the queen mother, so she turned her head and chatted quietly with An Ning and An Ran, who were sitting beside her.

"The concubine is getting more and more beautiful, and this skin is so tender that it can pinch out the water."

An Ning looked envious, but there was not the slightest jealousy in her clear eyes.

Lin Jiaojiao had a good sense of these two princesses, and said quietly: "Tell you two beauty recipes, don't tell others." ”

An Ning and An Ran's eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded heavily, they are not stupid, how could they tell others.

Throughout the ages, it has been a woman's nature to love beauty.

"What is Sister Guifei whispering to the two princesses?" Liang Guiren looked at Lin Guifei and asked curiously.

As soon as her words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jiaojiao and the others.

Lin Jiaojiao glanced at Liang Guiren and raised her eyebrows: "Liang Guiren knew that he was whispering, and pointed it out so loudly, he really didn't have the eyesight to see it, no wonder the emperor put it down after a few days." ”

Liang Guiren's face instantly became distorted, and the words behind him were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.

Everyone was speechless about Liang Guiren's self-deprecation, and now the concubine's favor is strong. No one dared to provoke the concubine at this time, and this Liang nobleman ran into it directly.

Xu is Liang Guiren was a little arrogant in the past few days, and no one helped her out of the siege at this time.

The queen mother just picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, as if she didn't want to interject, the queen secretly scolded a fool in her heart, but she had to speak out to relieve her.

"The concubine heard that the imperial aunt arrived in Shangjing yesterday, and she should come to the palace today to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, right?"

The queen mother has never brushed the queen's face in front of the concubines, and nodded: "Well, she is outside all the year round with the concubine, and this time the mourning family will definitely enter the palace on her birthday." ”

As soon as he spoke, he saw the eunuch come in and report that the eldest princess had arrived.

The Queen Mother's face showed a look of joy, and her eyes fell to the door. Sure enough, I saw a beautiful woman walk in, she was surrounded by luxury, but there was a little more heroism between her gestures.

"To the Queen Mother, please say hello to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother hurriedly called out, personally helped the person up, and pulled him to sit down.

The queen also smiled, and there was a bit of respect for the elders in her tone: "I've seen the imperial aunt." ”

With the arrival of the eldest princess, the housekeepers and daughters of the previous dynasty also entered the palace one after another, and came to Cining Palace to greet the queen mother. For a while, Cining Palace was very lively.

Because there is a young lady, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly and said: "Let these young ladies go to the Imperial Garden, and there is no need to stay here to accompany us old people." ”

She gave the concubine a look, and then continued to chat with the ladies with a smile.

Lin Jiaojiao secretly twitched the corners of her mouth, and left Cining Palace with a young lady and concubine. This should have been what the queen should do, but the queen mother left the queen behind, and in the end it could only fall on her.

But she knew in her heart that the Queen Mother wanted to take the opportunity to let her secretly observe the character of those young ladies.

Maybe there was no queen mother and elders, but after arriving at the Imperial Garden, these official ladies gradually let go of their temperament and walked around the Imperial Garden in pairs.

After all, it is not easy to enter the palace once, and the imperial garden in the palace is pleasant, and there is a royal style everywhere.

Lin Jiaojiao sat in the water pavilion, and Concubine Shu and a few slightly higher ranking people sat on the side. Looking at the young lady in the imperial garden, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional and nostalgic.

When you are in the boudoir, which one is not spoiled by the family. There was also such wanton joy, but now after entering the palace, he can only live cautiously.

Lin Jiaojiao pinched a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, and her eyes fell on a slender figure.

"Sister Guifei is looking at the young lady of the palace family?"

Concubine Shu followed her line of sight, and when she saw someone, she asked out loud.

Lin Jiaojiao nodded: "This young lady of the palace family is beautiful, and the bookish atmosphere on her body makes people look very comfortable." ”

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that Sister Guifei likes this Miss Gong family very much, but the concubine said that this Miss Gong Family's body does not seem to be very good, and many doctors have seen it and concluded that she will not be twenty years old." ”

Lin Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard this, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"But Bengong looked at her ruddy face, not like she was in bad health."

This young lady of the palace family has a ruddy complexion, except that her body is slightly slender and thin, she can't see where she looks like a patient at all.

Her mind was spinning quickly, the candidate for Princess Jin must have been sent to the Queen Mother after the emperor's selection. This Miss Gong is also likely to be the quasi-princess prepared by the Dog Emperor for King Jin, so it is not surprising that Miss Gong is still in poor health and can be sent up.

What a careful-eyed dog emperor.
