Concubine Xian raised her face at her, and said angrily: "Take it to her, and then tell Mu Feng and Gu * Lun * Gong * lord, this Nalan General's Mansion wants to marry a daughter, even if it is a concubine, it is not allowed to be inferior to Prince Duan's concubine Gu Su, this palace is to let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people look at it well, and our cousin's daughter is more noble than what Princess Duan." ”

———

In the Zhaoyang Palace, Yongya is solemn and luxurious.

Emperor Xuande's silver hair was tied up high by a golden crown, and he sat in front of the desk in a bright yellow dragon robe, looking at the half-open and half-hidden picture scrolls spread out on several cases.

In the painting, it is in a Jiangnan style courtyard, and the hibiscus is half-opened, one has been defeated, and there is a quiet and elegant beauty standing next to the flower, with a delicate nose, skin like snow, and a bit of graceful and glamorous between the eyebrows, but not as dazzling as her, and the aura is full of arrogance like Mingshen, but it does not seem lonely and indifferent.

"There is no shore on the other side of the flowers, and the soul is still in the river"

"I don't know the smoke when I'm drunk, and the lights are cold in my dreams."

"Flowers and leaves don't see each other for thousands of years, and fate is born and danced."

"The flowers don't understand the words, the flowers are bowed, and the Buddha crosses my heart and sighs."

Emperor Xuande muttered to himself, his wrinkled palm delicately caressed the face of the woman in the painting, his voice was filled with indescribable deep affection, and his bronzed face was deeply wrinkled with fine lines, quietly telling the vicissitudes of time.

The chief eunuch Li Yu walked in with a bright yellow curtain, handed over the two copies of the statement form in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the statement of the emperor from Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui, and please take a look at it." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xuande raised his eyebrows, took it curiously, looked at it, and suddenly sneered at the corners of his mouth.

Li Yu had already accepted the bribes from the two palaces, so he naturally knew the inside story, but he still pretended to be very ignorant, and asked in surprise: "The slave is bold, I don't know what makes the emperor so happy?"

"I'm so happy, I just think it's ridiculous, Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui have always been incompatible, and I don't want to be the same for a little girl today, it's really rare!" Emperor Xuande put down his statement, picked up a string of Buddhist beads made of old cypress in his hand, and said with a sneer.

"Oh, this is indeed a rare thing, and I don't know which young lady has such a good fortune that can make the two mothers turn their rivalry into jade silk!" Li Yu said as he poured a bowl of fragrant Biluochun into the tea bowl of the lightly described koi fish and handed it over.

Emperor Xuande waved his hand and motioned to put it next to him, frowned and said: "That Nizi is the fourth lady of the General's Mansion, I paid more attention to it during the draft, and her appearance was a first-class outstanding, and what is even more rare is that there is a bit of her aunt's character between her eyebrows, but it is a pity that she is a concubine, and her conduct is not good, she steals chickens and dogs when she is young, and she is not much better when she is older, so she was pointed out to the second child, and I was wronged by the second child." ”

"The slave thinks that regardless of the conduct of the fourth lady of the General's Mansion for the time being, the key is that when the two palace ladies rarely have the same opinion, if the emperor fulfills the wishes of the two maidens, the niece of the concubine will become the daughter-in-law of Concubine Hui, so that the harem will not be harmonious." After Li Yu finished speaking, he hurriedly quietly raised the corners of his eyes, and watched the emperor's reaction with bated breath.

Emperor Xuande played with the Buddha beads in the palm of his hand, thought about it left and right, and felt that Li Yu's words were not unreasonable, so he took the beads in his hand and ordered: "Li Yu, the intended purpose, the Nalan clan is cautious, the department is famous, sensitive and wise, remembering his father's military exploits, and he is specially given to Prince Duan as a side concubine......"

The last rays of the sunset were swallowed up by the mountains, and before you knew it, the bright moon was already high in the night sky, and the mercury-like moonlight flowed in through the carved screens, sprinkling a room of broken light and shadow in the dark and narrow room.

Lazy grooming, leaning on the window, and not wearing a hairpin ring.

Ming Shen wore a half-worn light green and silver shirt, leaning against the open window lattice with a smile, letting a cold moonlight sprinkle all over her body, and the long hair that spread out was like a poisoned Milky Way roaring down from the top of the Nine Heavens, with magic in her beauty, and her white and pointed face became more and more white like fresh snow, as white as jade.

"Squeak" There was a knock on the door, and Caifeng walked in with a copper basin full of warm water, dressed in a pink velvet floral skirt.

"Alas, if only the eldest prince were in Kyoto, he would be reluctant to watch you marry into the fire pit!" Caifeng sighed gloomily, kneaded the pure white silk silk into the water, soaked the water for a while, and then wrenched it and handed it to Ming Shen, seeing that Ming Shen was still looking out the window at the moonlight and smiled lightly, and said: "Miss, the water temperature is just right, Miss can apply her face." ”

Ming Shen suddenly came back to his senses, quickly took the silk and put it on his slightly hot cheeks, and in an instant, a fragrant hot current swept the nerves, causing the dust to roll in.

In order to survive in the intriguing General Nalan Mansion, and to live a better life for her mother and the people around her, in the past ten years, she has almost spared no effort to please the high-ranking father.

Fortunately, the hard work pays off, whether it is virtue and workmanship, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and poetry and poetry and assistant affairs, Ming Shen is outstanding, and soon with his own intelligence and cleverness, he stood out from the general's mansion with a population of thousands, not only eliminated her father's doubts about her bloodline, but also was personally trained by him, and was once in charge of the family's accounts, which was highly valued!

In the eyes of others, she can be regarded as a pheasant turned into a golden phoenix, but only she knows in her heart that behind the envy of everyone, it is just the mutual use of father and daughter.

"Miss, Miss......." Caifeng saw that Ming Shen still refused to take off the silk handkerchief after a long time, thinking that it was caused by her sadness, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, in fact, you don't need to be so sad, the general loves you so much, if you go and beg him, maybe he is willing to make decisions for you, and let the emperor take back his life." ”

Ming Shen slowly took off the silk handkerchief on his face, wiped his hands and smiled lightly: "Which is so easy?" What do you think the Holy Decree is? As soon as Chrysostom said it, it was a fact that could no longer be changed! ”

Cultivating the color of jade and selling it to the emperor's family, this is fate, in fact, Ming Shen has long known that no matter who she marries, she is just a pawn used by her father to consolidate the power of the family, but she never thought that the person she was about to marry turned out to be the person she had admired for a long time.

Maybe it's really fate, or it's fate, otherwise how can two enemies and enemies achieve marriage, and they are still married by order, not to mention that she thinks it's incredible, I'm afraid even her scheming father was unexpected.

Caifeng didn't understand what she was laughing at, but listening to her indifferent tone, she couldn't help but comfort again: "Miss really don't have to be discouraged, the slave has already inquired, this prince you want to marry, he is five years old to recite Liujia, ten years old to view a hundred schools, fifteen-year-old can be literary and martial, poetry and ink, all are sensitive and fresh." And I heard about ...... I heard that he is a handsome man, just like the one that Miss often reads, what kind of person is like jade, what is unparalleled in the world.

"The Mo master is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world."

Ming Shen has been concerned about this prestigious merry prince for a long time, because he is the second son of Emperor Xuande, so he is called 'second master', in the early years, because he was tired of the court's deception, he has been idle at home, sending love every day, drunk and lying on the flowers, and living a good and happy life.

Later, some of the poems and songs he wrote were inexplicably spread to the community, and soon became all the rage, and quickly became the wishful husband in the minds of countless girls.

Even the eldest brother Ronglu pointed to a cousin who was married, and he was looking for death and life to get out of the marriage, and he would rather be willing to live as a concubine than marry into Prince Duan's mansion to conclude a marriage with him, so there is also a saying in the market: I don't want the king to see, I want to know the face of the king, I don't want to have a thousand gold, and I want to get the heart of the 'second master'.

It was at that time that Ming Shen knew about him, and at first he was curious about his rumors, but as he in-depth inquired and understood, he was soon moved by his amazing and brilliant poems, and his heart sprouted.

But as she grew older, she felt more and more that Prince Duan was far from being as simple as the rumors, just looking at the few rooms he had married over the years, it could be seen that he was by no means an idle prince who was willing to chant poems and paint all day long, and plucked flowers and willows.

Alas! How could a character who was afraid of even her high-ranking and powerful father, who was afraid of three points, be a romantic gentleman who indulged in the gentle country all day long and refused to extricate himself?

Caifeng smelled Mingshen's faint sigh, and hurriedly persuaded her to think about the benefits: "Miss doesn't have to sigh, in fact, it's not so bad to marry, anyway, the daughter who married out splashed the water, it's a big deal to wait for you to pass the door, let's break off with the general's mansion and don't get along, so that you won't be affected by your mother's family, maybe Prince Duan will feel that Miss understands the righteousness, and maybe she will be pampered, Miss is so beautiful and moving, and you are worried that you won't have a good life in the future?" ”

Ming Shen heard this, smiled shallowly, it was rare to be confused, it was good to be as simple and pure as Caifeng, even if the sky fell, he would only think about the good, but he thought too much, so he would ask for trouble.

Caifeng's voice was already loud, and the voice could be heard clearly outside the door, but at this time, Nalan Mufeng held the plump and gorgeous Gu * Lun * Gong * Lord, carrying a group of maids and women holding gift boxes, from the cross road in front of the courtyard.
