CHAPTER XXVI

"What's wrong?"

Cui Yuzhu poured her a cup of tea and put it in front of her, Jiang Lingfang originally wanted to say something, but she saw that the tea was orange and yellow in color, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, so she turned her attention away for a while: "What kind of tea are you, so fragrant?" ”

Cui Yuzhu replied: "This is the jasmine I dried last year, if you like it, I'll bring some back for you later." ”

Jiang Lingfang tasted it, her eyes lit up, "This is jasmine tea?" Why doesn't it taste like it? ”

"It's not just jasmine, I also put some others, and you don't drink it often, so naturally you can't tell it."

"Wow, Sister Cui, you really know how to live, and there are so many tricks to make tea." Jiang Lingfang sighed, "I envy you so much, no one cares what you want to do, unlike my sisters, who quarrel every day and have a sore ear." ”

This is not wrong, Cui Yuzhu is really no one cares. Second Mrs. Cui knew that she was demure and polite, so she was quite relieved of her. She has three maids, spring grass, autumn leaves, and summer rain, but the three of them rarely dangle in front of her eyes, so Cui Yuzhu spends most of her time alone.

She said: "There are many sisters who have the advantage of having more sisters, and I like to be lively." By the way, didn't you just say something? Why don't you say it again? ”

Jiang Lingfang sighed, "Yes, yes, I was about to talk about it just now, and I forgot about it for a while." ”

Cui Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled, waiting quietly for her to say.

Jiang Lingfang moved the chair next to her and whispered to her, "I heard from my mother yesterday that this year's Flower Goddess may be different from usual. ”

Cui Yuzhu was puzzled: "What's the difference?" ”

"King Han is eighteen years old this year, and when he heard that the queen mother was going to show King Han the princess, she might choose one of the twelve flower fairies."

"Huh??" Cui Yuzhu was struck by lightning, and her hands trembled with fright, and she almost touched the teacup.

Jiang Lingfang saw that she was so surprised, and she also nodded heavily, "I also reacted this way when I first heard it, then King Han heard that he was born with a deficiency disease, so where is Princess Han good." ”

Cui Yuzhu really didn't expect to hear this kind of gossip, so she was confused for a while, and blurted out: "Then what should I do?" Otherwise, we simply give up the election, right? ”

"Sister, don't be impulsive, it's unknown whether the news is reliable or not, and we may not be able to pick us in the end! You say, don't you? ”

Who says you don't have to pick it, but what if you do?

Cui Yuzhu had a bitter face, and she didn't hear a word of what Jiang Lingfang said later.

“…… Actually, I came to ask you today, but do you still have the balm you gave me last time? I'm easy to use, but unfortunately I don't have the land to buy it outside, so I'm cheeky enough to ask you for a box back, Sister Cui......"

"Sister Cui?"

She came back to her senses, "Ah...... Sister, what did you just say? ”

Jiang Lingfang was a little embarrassed, "I want to ask you for a box of balm, just the one from before." ”

Cui Yuzhu nodded, "Oh, there are still two boxes of the balm you used, you can take them with you later." ”

Jiang Lingfang said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Cui!" ”

……

Cui Yuzhu was really shocked by this news, and she had already retreated in her heart, and after sending Jiang Lingfang away, she went to Second Mrs. Cui.

Even Jiang Lingfang heard the gossip, how could Mrs. Cui not hear it, but it was impossible to withdraw from the election.

King Han's poor health is just hearsay, Mrs. Cui has seen him, and he is born like a queen, a character like Zhilan Yushu, not at all like a deficiency.

Second Mrs. Cui sighed and said, "Zhuzhu, you are still young, and there are some things that you can't make your own decisions." ”

She added, "Can we choose the god of flowers or the second word, if we choose it, it will be the best thing, it will add luster to you and our Cui family." If you are lucky enough to get the blue eyes of the queen and be photographed, it will be flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix!

Silly boy, you live in the boudoir and naturally don't know the benefits of being the princess of Han, he is the queen's son and daughter, the brother of the prince of Qin, and he will ...... in the future No matter how bad it is, you can go to Fandi and enjoy wealth and prosperity in peace. ”

Cui Yuzhu was already in tears, and she fell on Mrs. Cui's shoulder and coquettishly: "Mother, but I don't want anything rich and ......."

"Alas, you don't want to because you don't understand the benefits of power, if you become the princess of Han and get on the royal jade plate, your father and I will have to kneel and salute you when we meet in the future, do you know? Do you know that if the news gets out, I don't know how many people will fight for it? ”

She cried, "If they fight, what does it matter to me? ”

Cui Yuzhu's twisted temperament is up again.

Mrs. Cui sighed secretly, so she had to take a step back and said, "Good daughter, those words just now are just what my mother said casually, and they can't be true." If you want to choose, the queen will never be able to choose your head, which family of the Wenchang Hou family, the prime minister's family, and the Dali Siqing family is not better than us? If the queen wants to choose, she also chooses one of them. ”

Hearing this, Cui Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "What my mother said is the truth?" ”

"Nature is true."

Cui Yuzhu was coaxed back in just a few words, but she was depressed in her heart, and her face couldn't help but have a sad face.

February is the day when the magnolia blossoms, and the big magnolia is full of branches. In the breeze, the magnolia tree stretches its branches obliquely, without leaves or green, just blooming gracefully and quietly.

The white and somewhat warm petals, like a butterfly, fell on the brown branches, faintly with some fragrance, although not strong but also fresh and natural.

Cui Yuzhu stood under the magnolia tree for a while, until a white magnolia fell and happened to fall on her bun.

She took the magnolia off her hair and smelled it, it seemed to be sweet.

At a glance, the flowers all over the ground were lying pitifully on the ground, and Cui Yuzhu couldn't bear it. So he went back to find a small shovel, found a place behind the tree and dug a small pit, and then picked up all the fallen magnolias and buried them.

After cleaning up, she was fine, and she sat on the swing rack and swayed in the wind, thinking about what was on her mind.

"What's on my sister's mind?" Chen Nanying appeared behind him.

Cui Yuzhu looked back with some surprise, "Ah, it's my sister." ”

Chen Nanying seemed to blame herself a little, and said, "I forgot that my sister was timid and scared you?" ”

"No, I'm just ......" Cui Yuzhu paused.

The mother just said that if the news that I don't know whether it is true or false spreads, I don't know how many people will fight for it......

This is an exaggeration.

Her heart moved, and she said faintly, "...... I'm just a little uneasy. ”

"If you have something on your mind, just tell your sister that I can help you."

"That's ......"

Then Cui Yuzhu told her what Jiang Lingfang said.

What the?

The queen wants to show the princess to King Han?

Chen Nanying was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and the whole person couldn't help but get excited, how could there be such a good thing?

If she is really selected to be the princess of Han, then she will really become a phoenix, and then her father will be transferred to the capital to be a Beijing official, and her brother will also be arranged on an errand, then her Chen family will not also get up, where do you need to see people's faces?

While pushing the swing for her, she asked, "Sister, is this rumor true?" ”

Chen Nanying was patient with excitement and pricked up her ears to listen to her answer.

Cui Yuzhu shook her head, "I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, my mother said that if you want to choose, you can't choose me, and the queen's mother will choose someone with a better family background." ”

Chen Nanying fell into the ice cellar, and said in her heart: Yes, if you want to choose, you must also choose someone with a better family background, how can it be my turn?

Not to mention the others, Cui Yuzhu is better than me.

Her father is the son of the country and the priest of wine, and he is the same as her father from the fourth grade, but a Beijing official and a local official cannot be compared at all.

Also, although she is not as talented as me, the queen does not take the school for you, if you only talk about appearance......

Cui Yuzhu has a look that captivates the city and the country, and with her, I can't get ahead.

Chen Nanying's heart was like an ant, looking at the back of the swing and the near and far, her brain was a little confused.

She thought to herself: What am I doing...... Why do I have to push her on the swing?

Why?

When Cui Yuzhu's swing shook over, she gritted her teeth and pushed her back.
