Chapter 13: The Dust Settles

When Mingyue came back, the rain had become heavier, and it became a rain curtain endlessly, and when she stepped on the corridor, she said thank you to the palace maid named Yao'er, and asked her to go back with an umbrella first, planning to have a chance to explain the whereabouts of the umbrella to Xiao Chongyuan another day.

My aunt didn't say much, blessed her body, and left.

As soon as I stepped into the Xunfang Palace, I saw that everyone was gathered on the verandah to watch the rain. Also, after so many days in the palace, only today it rained heartily.

Fang Chuxia leaned on the corridor and said: "Send spring back, fierce storm, a new green." When he looked up, he saw Mingyue coming in, and said with a smile: "Mingcai is back." ”

Before Mingyue could say anything, Zhao Yan had already said: "Congratulations to my sister for getting what she wanted." ”

Mingyue shook her head and asked, "What about Poria Cocos?" ”

Fang Chuxia put down the fan in his hand to catch the rain: "I'm going to change my clothes, how can I look like you, walking leisurely." ”

The three of them are enjoying themselves, and there is also Lu Huanting who is sitting on the other side enjoying the rain.

"Bright Moon! I ask you! Xuewei! Lin Fangfei pushed away a few show girls who were blocking her and rushed to this side: "What about her!" ”

Mingyue turned her head to look, only to see Lin Fangfei's eyes red, just now Aunt Song Jing came back, and she had already told Zhuxiu Nu Mingyue and Zhou Fuling that they were named talents by the Queen Mother, only Hu Xuewei was nowhere to be seen, and when she asked again, she was silent, and neither of them wanted to say more, so they used the excuse to go back to bathe and change clothes.

I had no choice but to ask this Mingyue, who had just come back.

Even Song Jing refused to say more, how could Mingyue tell her the truth? Lin Fangfei looked at Mingyue for a long time, and finally burst into tears: "Xue Wei is anxious, and she loves to offend people when she speaks, but what she doesn't have is the heart to hurt people, and she often tells me ......"

"Lin! Be cautious. Lu Huanting closed the book she was reading, got up and said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, haven't you ever learned?" ”

Lin Fangfei opened her mouth to speak, and finally left in silence.

Seeing that the show girls gradually dispersed, Fang Chuxia said: "We have always disliked the Hu family before, but it has only been in the past ten days that I have understood that people cannot be disguised. ”

Is her so-called "goddess" a shackle imposed on her by others? The Si people are gone, and it is useless to say more.

Fang Chuxia looked at Lu Huanting: "You actually know how to meddle with other people's affairs." Lu Huanting glanced at her and didn't answer. Fang Chuxia said again: "It's a pity, I haven't heard her say how to touch the seashell." ”

Mingyue also thought, it's a pity, such a real person, it may be difficult to meet in the future.

When Zhou Fuling came back, she saw such a silent scene, and forced a smile: "Auntie said that after a while, when the rain stops, there should be a will." ”

Fang Chuxia nodded: "You two are settled, especially Poria Cocos, it is not in vain to spend more than half a year's effort." ”

The show girls under the corridor all looked at the rain curtain, but the rain was intermittent, and they couldn't stop, seeing that after lunchtime, after dinnertime, and gradually approaching the palm lamp, even Song Jing came out to wait for the news with the girls, until the evening saw a candle from a distance.

A yellow gate announced under the umbrella of the little eunuch: "The decree is Taikang, the beauty of the show girl Fang's book, the gift of Yongshou Palace, the show girl Zhou's book of talents, the gift of Changle Palace, the show girl Ming's book of talents, the ...... of Changchun Palace"

Judging from this list of wills, in addition to the two Zhou and Ming who have already had news, Fang Chuxia registered the beauty, which is the highest position among everyone, and the remaining three talented people and seven selected servants, and the remaining show girls who have not been selected can enter the six Shang as female officials, or go out of the palace to marry on their own.

Just when everyone thought they could get up, the yellow gate unfolded another volume of yellow silk, on which it was written that Zhao Juan was the princess of Dinghe, named the queen mother, and the eldest son of the Zheng family was married to the queen.

Mingyue's faces changed, and they looked at Zhao Yan, but they saw that she was also pale. Over there, Song Jing got up first and beckoned the yellow door to use tea before leaving, but the yellow door said: "It's not that the slave doesn't give face to my aunt, but that something happened over there, otherwise how can it be the turn of the slave to announce the decree." ”

The yellow gate didn't say a few words, and led the little eunuch away.

Only then did Song Jing lead the rest of the aunts and said, "Girls, let's rest early today." Rare joke: "I won't see the old body in the future." ”

Zhao Juan had a white face and left with Lu Huanting. Until before going to bed, Mingyue still couldn't put her mind at ease, and said to Zhou Fuling: "I'm going to see Miss Zhao, do you want to go with you?" Zhou Lingling thought about the previous conversations with Zhao Yan, and shook her head: "I'm not going, if my aunt comes to ask, I'll explain it for you." ”

When Mingyue heard this, she put on her coat and went to Zhao Yan's residence alone, but saw that she really hadn't slept and the house was brightly lit.

"I can't help it...... Sister Lu, I really can't help it...... My grandfather, my father, and even my brother have been chasing this ethereal fame all their lives, and now I have become a bargaining chip, and I have become a bargaining chip with the surname Ji! ”

Zhao Yan's voice is like a cuckoo crying blood, Mingyue has never seen such a sad Zhao Yan, she should be lively.

"Sister Lu, please, I have never understood so much in my life as I do today, please let me get drunk once!"

I didn't hear what Lu Huanting said, but Zhao Huanting's door was opened at once, and Lu Huanting, who was holding a wine pot in her arms, saw Mingyue standing outside at a glance, she glanced back, pulled Mingyue and ran out, until she stopped in the middle courtyard of Xunfang Palace.

Lu Huanting's expression was indifferent: "This is the matter of the Zhao Jiang family, I hope you don't say much." ”

Mingyue said: "General Ji doesn't have to marry?" ”

Lu Huanting nodded, and silently put the wine jug into Mingyue's hand: "I'll go back." After walking a few steps, he said to Mingyue: "Thank you." ”

Mingyue looked at the wine jug in her hand, stood in the courtyard for a long time, and finally lifted the lid and took a sip. It's really bitter, just like today's Zhao Juan.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the show girls woke up early and took care of their things. When Mingyue entered the Fang Hall this time, she had nothing else except the things that the palace had brought on the day of the selection, so she helped Zhou Lingling take care of things together. Zhou Fuling went to Changle Palace, in the East Palace, and she went to Changchun Palace, in the West Palace, and the days of seeing each other again in the future are far less than now, and she is very reluctant.

At breakfast, half of the show girls were gone, some went to Liushang, and some were ready to leave the palace. As soon as the hour came, someone came to the palace of goodness, and led the little masters to the east and west palaces at the behest of the queen.

"Hui Niang, I'll come back to you then." Zhou Lingling held Mingyue's hand and said goodbye.

Fang Chuxia on the other side said with a smile: "It's not life and death, it's ...... It's a long time coming. ”

Zhou Lingling also smiled.

Mingyue waited for a long time and didn't see Zhao Jian and Lu Huanting appear, so she could only leave.

Who knew that as soon as Mingyue entered Changchun Palace, a palace maid greeted her: "But Mingcai has arrived?" We've been waiting for a long time. ”
