After the spring and summer solstice, the grass and trees sprouted, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the second girl, Li Xiang, was going to be selected to enter the palace.

A few days ago, the old Guogong came back from the suburbs and gave Li Xiang a piece of money for himself, and specially explained that if Li Xiang had something to do in the future, he could come back from the palace, and the Guogong Mansion would do its best to assist after all.

Yue Tan began to wonder what this attitude was for.

Li Jingming saw that she was puzzled, and specially explained to her.

It turned out that the current saint succeeded to the throne at a young age, and the old prince was one of the auxiliary ministers at that time.

The two sons of the old prince are not people with outstanding talents, in the early years, because of the old prince's honor, they were favored by the saints, one in the ministry of officials, the other in the ministry of rites, and the word holy grace has nothing to do with it.

After a long time, the rewards given by the court every year are getting thinner and thinner, and the old prince is very depressed, and he has explained to his wife, son, and grandson in private.

"Our children are not angry, and seeing that the grandchildren are not too brilliant, it is indeed time to put someone in front of the emperor. Otherwise, as the days go by, the emperor will become more and more unable to remember our family, and the officials below will be even more lazy. ”

The old lady was silent, but after that, she became interested in Li Xiang, not only did she pay 10,000 taels to herself, but also ordered the whole house to prepare things for Li Xiang to bring into the palace first.

Yuetan naturally got the errand of mixing flour fat, so she has been in that room for a long time these days, concocting and grinding, and she is very busy.

When Luo Lan saw it, he felt that Yuetan was a little upside down, ignoring the young master, and his heart was not very happy, and when he saw that two more mothers-in-law carried the altar of jade spring water in on this day, he followed behind and smiled.

"The procurement office in the house just sent in this urn of jade spring water, and even the old lady didn't drink it, so I sent it to you to make dough first, you have a big face now."

Yue Tan put down the milk mallet in her hand, and replied without being soft or hard: "Look at what Sister Roland said, it is all used by the second girl, but it is just through my hands." ”

Roland pointed to the snow-white pills that were drying on the shelf: "Isn't it a facial grease ointment?" How did it become a pill? ”

Yuetan explained: "The paste can't be used for a long time, the balls are stored longer than the paste, add a little water to melt and apply it to the face, not only moisturizing and moisturizing, but also whitening and nourishing." ”

As she spoke, she took out two facial fat pills from the box on the side and handed them over: "This is what I made with the rest of the materials, the effect is worse, my sister took it and made do with it." ”

Roland took a closer look at the fat pills, and saw that the color was really a lot darker, so he accepted it with a smile.

Three days later, Li Xiang rode into the imperial city, and had to undergo three months of training in it before participating in the formal selection, and learned whether he would finally enter the backyard of the nobles or become a female official palace maid serving people.

As soon as Li Xiangfu entered the palace, the old lady ordered someone to buy rare flowers and plants that had been carefully cultivated, instructed people to go to each house and courtyard to spread the word, and called all the grandchildren to enjoy the flowers.

Naturally, Qingcang Yuan also received an invitation.

Early in the morning, the people in Qingcang Courtyard were busy, Mama Qin chose clothes for Li Jingming, Roland was waiting for the dispatch, Yuetan and Rose were making pastries in the kitchen, and Yusang was handy.

Half an hour later, the three of them put their food in a food box and brought it to the hall.

Rose and Yusang were not allowed to enter the hall to wait, so they waited outside the door, Yuetan carried the food box in, bypassed the screen, and put the snack box on the table: "The slave has prepared the same sweet snack and the same salty snack." ”

Mama Qin was combing Li Jingming's hair in front of the bronze mirror, and finally buttoned it up with a black jade crown, and replied with a smile: "Your hands and feet are fast." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said, "Young Master, okay, you can take a look." ”

Li Jingming casually glanced into the mirror and said, "It's okay." ”

Luo Lan waited aside, and said with a smile: "It's just too plain, if the young master listens to me, how beautiful it will be in that dark red dress." ”

Li Jingming frowned slightly, and said lightly: "That's it." ”

Yue Tan lifted the food box and glanced at Li Jingming, her pupils were slightly dilated, and her eyes were full of amazement.

Li Jingming's appearance follows his biological mother, he was born handsome, coupled with his cold eyes, there is a touch of arrogance that looks down on everyone, and he is the most conspicuous existence wherever he puts it, and he can't take his eyes off it when he sees it.

Yue Tan is well-informed, and she can bear it in the end, unlike Roland, who has lost his mind.

"Yuetan follows, Roland looks at the yard."

When Roland heard this command, he hurriedly came back to his senses, but it was too late, so he had to glare at Yuetan, gritted his teeth and sent the master and servant out of Qingcang Courtyard.

After walking for almost half an hour, I walked to the vicinity of the garden of the Guogong Mansion, and walked all the way to the flower hall, only to feel that it was lively, and the young masters and girls of the whole house came to cheer for the old lady, laughing and laughing everywhere, and the flowers were full of flowers.

When the two walked into the flower hall, the fourth young master Li Bo was entertaining his relatives in colorful clothes, which made everyone laugh, and when everyone saw Li Jingming, they remembered the disgrace of the brothers, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

The strange atmosphere dissipated in just a moment, and the second young master Li Rong got up from the chair on the first place on the left, and walked to Li Jingming's side with a warm smile: "Third child, you are here." ”
