Chapter 187: The Time Has Come

Jiang Sumo blinked her eyes and chuckled, "The palace only takes care of these trivial matters, draft girl, it is the emperor's mind," she looked at Zhang Ruo, "Listening to Madame's tone, what are you preparing?" ”

Zhang Ruo slowly shook the pu fan, "Choose a concubine for the emperor, this person is naturally eye-catching and heartfelt." ”

Zhang Ruo didn't say it directly.

But Jiang Sumo already knew it in his heart.

Following.

Jiang Sumo accompanied Yun Rongjue, in the Golden Palace, to select the show girl.

Jiang Wu was in the imperial garden, sitting on the swing, swaying for a while. She raised her eyes and looked at the hour, "The draft girl, it's almost over, right?" ”

"It should be soon." The palace maid responded.

Although she knew that this was inevitable, the emotions in her heart couldn't help but come up.

"Xiao Wu."

Suddenly, Jiang Wu took advantage of the situation and saw Gu Liangying walking over happily.

"You're here."

"Princess."

Gu Liangying noticed Jiang Wu's not very good face, and suddenly remembered that today was the day when Emperor Daliang selected his concubine.

"Xiao Wu, Emperor Da Liang's selection of concubines, you must feel uncomfortable."

Jiang Wu's little face crossed a touch of helplessness.

Gu Liangying sighed lightly, "Hey, you guys are good at everything, but this is not good, the emperor is all three palaces and six courts, seventy-two concubines, like me, my mother is the only wife of my father Khan, except for my mother, my father Khan has not married anyone else, and a person's heart has to be broken out and distributed to so many people, isn't it very tiring?" ”

"Princess, in your Mongolian kingdom, is it not allowed for a man to marry a second person?" She asked.

Gu Liangying pursed her lips and tilted her little head, "Not really, but our Mongolian country is not like you Da Liang, men deserve to take concubines, although we have men there, but we don't encourage this, and if a man wants to marry a woman, it is clear to each other, and a man takes a concubine after marriage, unless there is a big problem between the two parties." ”

Gu Liangying glanced at Jiang Wu and said, "But ...... Xiao Wu, my days here are not long, nor are they short, but I think that this Emperor Daliang likes you very much, I see that he is indifferent to the queen mother and Mrs. Zhang, and only when he is with you, I see him smiling. ”

At the mention of Yun Rongjue, Jiang Wu's little face crossed with emotion.

"Jieyu, princess."

"Is the audition over?" Jiang Wu asked.

"Yes, in this selection, the emperor selected a total of four." The palace maid said in a voice.

Four-digit ......

Jiang Wu's little face was emotional, "So many ......"

Gu Liangying looked at Jiang Wu worriedly and said comfortingly: "Xiao Wu, don't think too much. ”

Jiang Wu eased his emotions and stood up, "I'm fine, princess, there are still some things in my palace, so I'll go back first." She said.

Gu Liangying also got up, "Okay, it just so happens that I also have something." ”

After the two separated, Jiang Wu returned to the Spirit Dance Palace.

Not long after Jiang Wu returned to the Spirit Dance Palace, someone from the palace came to announce Yun Rongjue's will to canonize the newcomer.

Late at night, Yun Rongjue went to the Spirit Dance Hall after dealing with the court.

"Your Majesty."

"She's asleep?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Jieyu didn't sleep very well today, and she fell asleep after drinking some soothing soup." The palace people said.

Yun Rongjue's peaceful eyes were slightly heavy, and he stepped into the inner hall and took a light step.

The little girl on the plain tent bed was curled up, her eyes closed, but between the two willow eyebrows, she was still frowning slightly.

Jiang Wu slept in a daze, feeling something around her in a daze, her eyebrows trembled, and a pair of small hands instinctively stretched out to wrap around.

Yun Rongjue looked sideways at the little girl who was tightly attached in her arms, her thin lips gently hooked a shallow smile, and her thick palm hugged her tighter and closer.

"Hmm......"

Jiang Wu muttered, his apricot eyes slowly opened an arc, looking at the people around him, "Brother Jue......" She murmured to him in a daze.

This voice of Brother Jue was called into Yun Rongjue's heart, "I'm here." ”

Jiang Wu turned around a few times in his arms, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her confusion was driven away by a little sobriety, and she slowly eased up, "You're back." She murmured.

Yun Rongjue bowed his head lightly, "I heard from the palace people that my sister is sleeping unsteadily." ”

Jiang Wuwo leaned on the man's arms, the curled eyelashes on the starry eyes trembled slightly, she didn't respond, only a pair of small hands grabbed his placket tightly, and her little face couldn't help but be full of emotion.

He could easily see through her emotions, his big palm pressed the back of her head, and his thin lips fell lightly on her smooth forehead, "I know that my sister is for today's selection of draft girls, right?" ”

Jiang Wu was muffled again.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "The emperor has chosen a lot of people today." Her voice was soft.

Yun Rongjue didn't hide it, nodded in response: "Four people were selected to enter the palace, today's selection is not my original intention, and the selection of these people is to let those old ministers no longer have anything to say." He seemed to be static, and he was like an explanation.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but rub into his arms, he was just a simple explanation, but he could dispel the gloom in her heart.

"Sister."

"Huh?" Jiang Wu instinctively raised his head and looked at him.

Yun Rongjue played with her green silk with one hand, and said softly: "In the future, there will be more people in this harem, and I can't be by my sister's side all the time, my sister has any grievances and unhappy places, and when I am there, I will tell me again." ”

Jiang Wu was slightly flustered, looking at him with mixed emotions in his eyes.

The grievances in my heart disappeared at this moment.

Now he is the Ninety-Five, above 10,000 people, but he protects her like this and thinks about her.

Jiang Wu's peaceful little face showed a light smile, she leaned against him and hummed softly: "Xiao Wu knows that Brother Jue is busy and troubled, and Xiao Wu will do her best not to cause trouble to Brother Jue." ”

The little girl is well-behaved and even more lovable. He stroked the top of her hair, and a light kiss fell on his thin lips, "Sister, sleep." ”

In the second half of the night, Jiang Wu slept peacefully until dawn.

When she woke up in the morning, Yun Rongjue had already left the court.

After she washed and changed her clothes, the palace maid next to her said: "Jieyu, there is a message from the queen's mother, let Jieyu go over for a while to meet the new people in the palace." ”

Jiang Wu's expression fell slowly, and he could only nod and agree.

After Jiang Wu finished changing clothes, he went to the Jiaofang Palace.

In addition to Zhang Ruo, there are four newcomers in the Jiaofang Palace.

Jiang Sumo followed the rules and introduced them to them. The four new people who entered the palace, including Sheng Ying, the daughter of Sheng Neishi, and the good man of Sheng. Ran Wenjia, his father Guan Zhilang Zhongling, Feng Wen Ronghua, Jiang Qiong's uncle to Tingwei, Feng Jiang Meiren. Ren Ziyue, his brother is at least the mansion, and he is a beauty of the moon.

When the newcomer enters the palace, Jiang Sumo is the head of the middle palace, and he can't help but teach him.

Jiang Wu listened quietly on the side, without interjecting for half a sentence.

After Jiang Sumo's teachings were over, she bowed and left the Jiaofang Palace.

Not long after she returned to the Spirit Dance Hall, someone brought something.

Four people, each with four things, but the things are very different, their identities, family abilities, are vividly reflected in these things.

Jiang Wu asked Nanfu to prepare four copies of the same thing and sent them to the four of them.

As soon as Nanfu left, Gu Liangying came in in a hurry.

When Jiang Wu saw Gu Liangying, the slight emotion on his little face dissipated, and was replaced by a touch of ease and relaxation.

"Why is the princess running away to me today?" Jiang Wu poured her a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

Gu Liangying casually grabbed the peaches in the fruit bowl on the table and took a bite, the juice overflowed between his lips and teeth, "I went to Lord Xiao just now, but I didn't know that he had something to do to leave the palace today." "Let's play

Jiang Wu chuckled, it turned out that Xiao Qijin was not there.

"The princess often runs to Lord Xiao these days, but what progress is there?" Jiang Wu asked.

Gu Liangying's pink lips moved, her cheeks bulged, and her little face was a little depressed, "Princess Ben thought that this was not a difficult thing, but she didn't expect it...... This Lord Xiao, how do I feel a little like a stone, I like him so much, but he ...... It seems that it is still indifferent to me, Xiao Wu, you say, I can't really take him, right?! ”

Jiang Wu chuckled, "Princess, it's really hard for me to say this, it's hard for outsiders to talk about emotional matters, but I think that the princess's heart for Lord Xiao is clearly understood." ”

Gu Liangying bit the peach and nodded heavily, "Hey, although I'm a little frustrated, but this princess won't give up so easily!" ”

She threw the peach pit aside, and stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Wu up, "Xiao Wu has good weather today, let's go out of the palace and go around, these days I have been around Lord Xiao's elm pimple every day, and I haven't been out of the palace to play for a long time." ”

Gu Liangying was in a hurry, and Jiang Wu couldn't bear to refuse her, so she agreed.

After the two changed their clothes, they left the palace together.

Gu Liangying is a playful character, as soon as he leaves the palace, he is like a bird in a cage.

The two of them were wandering around the market.

After accompanying Gu Liangying for a long walk, she stopped when she passed by King Shu's mansion.

That time, after she and Yun Rongjue reconciled He Baoqi and Yun Huang, she didn't see He Baoqi again, and she only listened to Yun Rongjue talk a few times during the period, and the two seemed to have returned to the original, Yun Ze's matter, He Baoqi seemed to let go of the past.

"What's wrong?" Gu Liangying saw her stop and asked.

"Princess, I want to go and see Princess Shu, if the princess doesn't want to go together, you can go back to the palace first." She said.

Gu Liangying blinked and glanced at the sky, "Anyway, it's still early, if you want to visit someone, I'll accompany you, let's go." ”

The two arrived at King Shu's Mansion together, and the guards guarding the door of King Shu's Mansion recognized Jiang Wu, and let them enter the mansion after saluting.

After the maid reported, Jiang Wu met He Baoqi.

He Baoqi was holding Yun Ze and teasing, "Princess, Xiao Wu, sit down." ”

Gu Liangying was innocent, and when he saw Yun Ze, the little guy, he felt very cute, and couldn't help but hug the little guy and tease him.

"Why are you free today, or came out with the princess, didn't the emperor accompany you?" He Baoqi watched Gu Liangying carry the little guy to the yard to play, and after speaking, he turned his eyes and looked at Jiang Wu.

"There is something to do in the palace, and the princess is bored in the palace, so she called me out of the palace together, and I thought it would be good to come out and go around." Jiang Wu said.

He Baoqi chuckled, "Yes, although there are good things in the palace, if you stay for a long time, you will inevitably get bored." ”

Jiang Wu nodded, she was a little worried, but she didn't know how to speak, looking at He Baoqi.

He Baoqi met her eyes, as if reading what she was thinking, "Have something to ask me?" ”

Jiang Wu curled her lips and smiled, and was about to speak, He Baoqi opened her mouth one step ahead of her, "You want to ask about the matter between me and the prince." ”

Jiang Wu didn't bend around anymore, and asked Qisheng.

"It's fine," He Baoqi said, "After the four of us came back from a trip together, the prince paid a lot of attention to me, and later explained to me more than once that at first I really couldn't get over this hurdle in my heart." ”

"But later, I also figured it out, I kept entangled, it didn't benefit anyone, what the prince said was right, Lin Zhao'er I have already punished her, it is considered to be offset by two, and...... As the prince said, if Lin Zhao'er really wants to kill Ze'er, he shouldn't be so stupid. ”

"More importantly......"

He Baoqi was speechless, and looked at Jiang Wu fixedly, "I love the prince, the relationship between me and the prince is not deep, and I don't want to lose the only affection between me and the prince because of this matter." ”

Jiang Wu listened to He Baoqi's words with mixed emotions.

"Don't worry, I'm really fine, speaking of which, I want to thank you and the emperor, you accompanied us out of the palace to play, but also so that me and the prince can resolve the knot."

Jiang Wufan's lips were lightly tugged and smiled.

He Baoqi picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip, "Hmm, by the way, I heard everything the emperor said about the selection of draft girls, are you okay?" He Baoqi asked with concern.

Jiang Wu chuckled and shook his head.

He Baoqi put down the tea bowl, supported his forehead with one hand, and persuaded in a serious voice: "You said in your heart that you don't feel uncomfortable, it's fake, but Xiao Wu, you have to think about it, the emperor, he is the emperor in the end, not alone, the three palaces and six courtyards can't be avoided, as long as he has a heart for you, and it's enough, if you don't want to open some, it will only bother yourself, huh?" ”

Jiang Wu nodded lightly, "I understand." ”

He Baoqi smiled, "That's good, by the way, now that the emperor has selected so many people to enter the palace, the more people in this harem, the more complicated it will be, you have to be careful yourself, and bear the unpredictable." She reminded.

He Baoqi's concern and reminder made Jiang Wu's heart warm.

After a while, Gu Liangying came in with Yun Ze in his arms, Yun Ze's eyes were closed and opened for a while, obviously sleepy. After He Baoqi put him to sleep, he let people hug him.

"What were you talking about?"

Gu Liangying is a big temperament, and he doesn't pay so much attention to etiquette, so he poured a cup of warm tea and drank it.

He Baoqi and Gu Liangying didn't meet much, but the few times they met, she also liked Gu Liangying very much.

"I'll talk to Xiao Wu casually, I've heard about the princess and Lord Xiao, has the princess made progress?"

At the mention of this, Gu Liangying's little face drooped, and he let out a long sigh, "Don't mention it, it's difficult, the most difficult thing this princess has done in her life is probably this matter!" I don't know when the stone head will be opened. ”

He Baoqi and Jiang Wu both smiled, and He Baoqi said: "If it is really a stone head, how can the stone be hard and open, or melt." ”

Gu Liangying sat up straight, "Then this means that Princess Ben and Lord Xiao are impossible?!" ”

He Baoqi shook his head, "That's not what it means, princess, how can Lord Xiao be a stone head, neither a stone head, sincerely, the princess is very attentive to Lord Xiao, and Lord Xiao can feel it." ”

Gu Liangying sighed again, "But Princess Ben has been in Chang'an for a month, and there are only two months left for the time I agreed with my father Khan, and at the moment, Lord Xiao doesn't seem to have any hope, and he has a headache!" ”

"Princess, Lord Xiao is in Chang'an, and she doesn't have any relatives in the palace, maybe the princess can try to give Lord Xiao more warmth." He Baoqi said.

"Warm? So what does it mean to be warm? ”

He Baoqi chuckled and shared his thoughts with Gu Liangying.

Gu Liangying listened with relish.

Jiang Wu and Gu Liangying stayed in King Shu's Mansion for about an hour before they left and returned to the palace.

Along the way, Gu Liangying was thinking about He Baoqi's words.

"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, this princess will do what Princess Shu said! I don't believe it! Can't melt Lord Xiao! ”

Jiang Wu couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Liangying's high-spirited appearance.

After the two entered the palace, they separated in the imperial garden, Jiang Wu returned to the Spirit Dance Palace, and when she heard that Yun Rongjue had returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she went directly.

Yun Rongjue raised his eyes and saw her walk in, stood up, stepped forward, reached out to hold her little hand, frowned slightly, and then ordered the palace people on the side, "Go and light some charcoal." ”

In autumn, the weather in Chang'an City is cool.

Although it is not winter at the moment, Jiang Wu has always been the most afraid of the cold, although the palace has not yet supplied charcoal, but the Heart Cultivation Hall and the Spirit Dance Hall have been prepared early.

"Hegu Liangying is out of the palace?" Yun Rongjue led her to sit down, holding her cool little hand generously and warming her hand.

Jiang Wu nodded, and said that he did not hide his departure from the palace today.

"Your Majesty, do you think the princess and Lord Xiao can do it?" She couldn't help but ask.

Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sister, why did you ask about me, I am not Xiao Qijin." ”

Jiang Wufan's lips pursed slightly, "I'm just worried about the princess, the princess really likes Lord Xiao, and has done a lot of things for Lord Xiao." ”

"Her thoughts, Xiao Qijin understands, but whether she can accept it or not, and it depends on Xiao Qijin, my sister is worried about Gu Liangying, and feels that she has paid a lot for Xiao Qijin, and it is understandable that she is moved, but my sister should not forget, this matter is reluctant, if Xiao Qijin really has no intention of the princess, even if he is forced to marry the princess, he will not be really happy, the princess is, this is not a good thing for the princess."

Jiang Wu listened, although he felt a little depressed, but what Yun Rongjue said was reasonable.

Gu Liangying is certainly distressing, but if Xiao Qijin really has no intention, it is not gratifying to forcibly tie the two together.

Yun Rongjue stroked the little girl's soft green silk, "This matter is between the two of them, sister, don't think too much." ”

Jiang Wu nodded.

The two talked and laughed.

About half an hour later, the internal official led the people from the Internal Affairs Office to walk in, "Your Majesty, the time has come to turn over the brand." The palace man held the lacquer plate.

Jiang Wu looked at the brand on the lacquer plate, the mood of his little face gradually fell, and a pair of small hands couldn't help but clench tightly in his sleeves.
