Chapter 781: The Election Conference

Chapter 781: The Election Conference

In the end, Xiao Ying failed to ask Feng Ge's plan as she wished.

Everyone thinks that Feng Ge is just angry, thinking that he is the new emperor, but the ministers are arguing in the palace, which is really not good.

That's why I said it casually, saying that it was for the female dependents of the officials to attend.

But who knew that this palace banquet was actually very up to standard.

Officials took their wives and daughters into the palace early in the morning. Most of these officials, with their rank, even if the palace handles the palace case, their family members are not qualified to attend. After the wives and daughters of many officials entered the palace, the shocked look on their faces was not accepted.

The officials went to the main hall, and the female dependents went to the harem.

In the end, it was led to the small garden next to the imperial garden where the palace banquet was held.

The carved beams and painted buildings in the garden, there are pavilions and mountains, there are water and corridors, it is quite a bright place.

All the daughters of the officials' families were invited away by the maidservants, saying that the queen had already arranged for the little girls to stay in the garden and get to know each other. As for the official's wife, she was placed in another place, waiting to greet the queen's mother.

Nearly 100 officials brought their wives and daughters, or their wives and sisters.

For a while, the entire harem was full of people.

In the Sakura Song Temple. Lilac is grooming Xiao Ying. "Niangniang's guess is right, those little girls are not familiar with it at first, and before they can wait for a cup of tea, they are familiar with it in groups. At first, they didn't dare to say anything, but they saw that there was no one around, and they became bolder. Finally, I talked about how my parents were restless yesterday, and how they told them to be stupid and not to be sharp. ”

The garden maidservants walked back and forth.

No matter how careful those girls are, they can't avoid the eyeliner in this palace.

Ding Xiang didn't quite understand why Xiao Ying wanted to separate the official's wife and daughter. Xiao Ying only said that she wanted to hear some truth.

That's the truth from the little girl's side.

Before going out, I was told by my parents that I must not be reckless for a while, and perform well at the palace banquet, if I was really in love, I was destined to step into the fire pit in this life.

The ladies say something quite different.

did not specifically mention the purpose of entering the palace, but after everyone got acquainted, they talked about the most seasonal materials, patterns, and silk.

In short, it's all something to wear.

didn't mention a word about how to tell her daughter not to show off before going out. From the words of these ladies, you can hear the trend of the popular world in Beijing. It's a pity that Xiao Ying is not interested in business, otherwise she would have been able to vote for these ladies. "Sure enough, as Niangniang said, these people are covered with masks on their faces, and they talk about embroidery and jewelry one by one, and they don't say a word about entering the palace today."

Previously, Ding Xiang felt that Xiao Ying's words were simply incredible.

What a big deal the palace banquet is.

These mothers must be worried. When they get together, they must vomit bitterness, and the most they say must be that their daughter has been weak since she was a child, and it is really inconvenient to marry far away. Lilac also gambled on a monthly salary for this.

Who would have thought that no one would mention these mothers at all.

On the contrary, when it comes to embroidery and dressing, there is endless.

"No one will be the first to speak. I'm afraid that the gun will shoot the first bird. "What do you mean?" Lilac was puzzled.

Xiao Ying looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and there is a saying that people rely on clothes, and it is indeed true. She was dressed in a golden court dress, with a phoenix hairpin on her head, and a phoenix tail flower between her eyebrows. I was dazzled by myself in the bronze mirror.

"I just want to see if one or two of these ladies are really temperamental. Now it seems...... The circle of the concubines in the capital is really decent. ”

"What the lady means is that these ladies are too well-behaved. Don't dare to say a word outside the box at all? In fact, this is no wonder of them, presumably the man in the family must have ordered it a long time ago. There must be no mistakes in front of the mother, not to mention that everyone is like this, if anyone behaves differently from everyone, it will attract attention. At the same time, it also proves that none of the girls in the capital want to marry Xiao Zining's son. ”

"Naturally, no one wants to marry far away. Whose parents are willing to marry their daughters thousands of miles away. It may be difficult to see each other again in this life. ”

Lilac belly.

"If they are not willing to marry their own daughters far away, will they be willing to marry other people's daughters far away? Princess Moon is also someone else's daughter. ”

"Silly lilacs. That's why I'm separating my mother and daughter. You go and arrange for the female officer to get in and reveal a piece of news. Just say...... Today, only the best girls in the capital will be selected. If anyone has the right person to report, this palace will be rewarded. ”

"As for the girl...... said that if he married far away, his father and brother could be promoted to one level. ”

Although the cloves didn't understand what they meant, they didn't mess up the arrangement at all. Soon let the female officer quietly blend in, and soon spread the news. The same is true for the girl, and the little maid quietly spreads the news to the group of girls.

Soon, there was some panic on both sides.

Fortunately, everyone still knows that this is the palace, and the panic is also very measured.

Soon, some people on the lady's side began to get up, and under the pretext of convenience, they stuffed silver into the hands of the maidservants who came in and out.

The purpose is naturally to hope that the queen will be able to say goodbye soon.

In the end, the grandmother in charge of the palace ranked the order of Jin according to the amount of bribes.

Lilac can see it......

My own mother is too bad. The purpose of the master's palace banquet is actually very simple, that is, to find a daughter-in-law for that Xiao Zining, block the mouths of these courtiers, and relieve the siege for Princess Yue by the way. But my own girl...... According to the rules, when the female relatives see Xiao Ying, they must be sorted according to the rank of the official.

Yun Chi, Lou Xiang's family should be in the first place.

Then there are the elders of the sect, the female dependents of the first rank of the court...... And so on.

However, when the first ranking of the newspaper official ranked, it turned out to be only a fifth-grade official.

And the silver ticket she stuffed to Mama was a thousand taels!

This is Jin Jian, this is simply a life-threatening death. At every turn, a thousand taels of silver tickets are given to the next person to be counted, what kind of wealth does the family have? How many can a courtier and a five-grade official have? It's not enough for his wife to reward the next person once.

It's simply ......

This is really a man.

On the contrary, the wives of several first-class officials in the court were the last to enter the Jin.

Xiao Ying thinks that she has a bit of the ability to look at people, these female dependents walked around like a marquee, most of them are ordinary people, and there are a few wonderful people among them, Xiao Ying plans to have the opportunity to get closer to a few in the future. It can be regarded as grabbing people's hearts for Feng Ge.

Xiao Ying's side had the result, and Feng Ge on the side of the main hall quickly received the news.

On the spot, he threw a silver ticket onto the dragon case.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically. One might have thought of asking his wife to bring extra money just in case.

They are accustomed to being prepared for everything. What is Preparedness? Naturally, it is silver, and it is easy to do things with silver in these years, and those female officials in the palace are all bottomless pits, and they will definitely suffer if they don't do a good job.

This is a precedent.

Therefore the silver is sufficient. But now...... Before Feng Ge could name the silver that the lady of the family had taken out, several people fell to the ground with weak legs.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

Feng Ge sneered. "All of you Aiqing are the ministers of the humerus of the imperial court, and they are my right-hand men, what is the crime?"

It turned out that the most ferocious quarrel in the halls made Feng Yue's heart and kiss, and they actually knelt in a row. Yun Chi and Lou Baiyun sneered very tacitly. But a casually mentioned palace banquet turned out to be a touchstone.

Just now, His Royal Highness, Feng Ge privately asked Gonggong Xi to speak.

said that Xiao Ying planned to take the opportunity to dig out a few big rats for him. As for how to dig, Father-in-law Xi said that his majesty was also waiting to see the excitement.

Okay, now the excitement is here.

This Xiao Ying, it's really ...... Not a moment to spare.

Whether it's the front hall or the back garden.

It was silent, and there were a few fewer people.

There are shrewd discoveries, but no announcements. Some of them have been quietly reduced without noticing from the beginning to the end.

Everything is in order, and it is finally time to arrive at the palace banquet. The emperor and queen sat down, and then the three brothers of the Xiao family, Xiao Zining sat under the three imperial uncles. Then the ministers entered with their wives, and the last one to come in was the daughters of the lords.

There are female officers leading, six in a row.

Fish rush in.

These girls are wearing the same, all of them are blue gauze skirts, with a silver hairpin on their heads, and a begonia flower between their temples.

The face is covered with light veil, which looks ...... Several princes of the Xiao family looked straight in the eyes. This? How do you choose this?

The female officer arranged the girls who were almost as tall as a group of girls, and at first glance, the six girls looked like they were carved out of a mold, dressed the same, their hair combed the same, and the hairpins on their heads were all identical.

Xiao Ying nodded with satisfaction.

Turning sideways to his father Xiao Ziyan's playful expression, he said seriously: "Brother Zining is erudite and talented, and he will not be like ordinary people who will have a sincere affection for a girl just by her appearance, so I got a new trick today." These girls are all daughters of official families, and they are quite talented. The same outfit, and covering his face, the brother can choose without distraction. After all, appearance is just something outside the body, and only talent and character will be sublimated with the precipitation of the years......

From what I know about my brother, my brother is not a happy person. I don't value the girl's appearance.

Since the elder brother values talent, such a choice must be in line with the elder brother's wishes. ”

The last sentence was said to Xiao Zining.

Xiao Zining didn't speak, and the expression on his face was a little angry and indescribable. He had always been like a humble gentleman, and it seemed that no matter what happened, the gentleman's mask on his face could not be shattered, but at this time, ...... Xiao Zining's gentlemanly face was a little difficult.

Meanwhile. The ministers and their wives breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a daughter in the family who looks like a woman, for fear of being chosen, and now she is covered up like this...... Even the biological parents don't recognize their daughter.

People couldn't help but look at the young queen mother, she was dressed in complicated court clothes, and the whole person set off the grace and luxury, and some people suddenly realized...... The queen's facial features are profound, and with such a luxurious outfit, it is simply extravagant.

Who said that the queen mother has no appearance.

It's obviously a ...... Extremely beautiful woman.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the country is overwhelmed. Such a beautiful and intelligent woman...... It's really hard to find in the world.

Someone secretly made a decision that he would never deliberately get along with the new emperor in the future. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, no matter how the previous emperor reused them, it was already in the past. Today, they are the courtiers of the new emperor.

Naturally, only the new emperor should look forward.

Before today, I was easily encouraged by others to mess around with everyone.

After today, not again.

The emperor and queen are very capable, acting weirdly and exuberantly. It's just ...... Excellent combination.

One inside and one outside, still worried that the people don't have a good life? With such a master, he will definitely be able to make great achievements.

The courtiers' hearts were haunted by all kinds of tastes. But tonight is not their home field, but Brother Shaw. Compared with Xiao Zining's angry face, the third prince Xiao and the fourth prince obviously found things very interesting.

Pretty girls are really nothing to them from a royal background.

Both of them thought very much of Xiao Ying's words.

The character of talent is the most important thing. Cover your face like this...... It's a good idea. Don't be tempted by appearance, only choose talented girls you like.

This is simply ...... "Zining, you have to thank Changning." This method is good, this method is wonderful. Simply wonderful...... If you can't see your face like this, you won't choose the kind of girl who only has a face and no brains. Ask a question and let the girls answer it one by one. Look at the answer to which girl you like...... "Prince Xiao San is simply afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

The fourth prince of Xiao has always been able to pull the third prince of Xiao, and it is rare that he did not open his mouth to stop the third prince of Xiao this time.

In his opinion, Xiao Ying can be described as painstaking.

They understand in their hearts that these high-ranking officials in the capital talk about how good the marriage is, and how righteous and awe-inspiring. But if they were to marry their daughters to the grassland, they would never want to.

He has always been worried that if the girl in Xiao Zining's picture is from a very rich background, and the girl is not willing, even if Feng Ge gives her marriage, I am afraid it will make the courtiers feel cold.

Now......

It is up to providence to choose whomever is chosen.

It's simply ...... It couldn't have been better. Changning must have also taken these into consideration, and finally made such a face-covering election meeting.

"yes. Zining, you go and choose. Choose one that suits your heart. ”

Xiao Zining's face was a little cold.

These people ...... Whether it is Feng Ge and Xiao Ying, who are high above, and the three imperial uncles on the side.

And those ministers.

They're all watching his hilarity! Choosing a wife? Covered face? Blind Audition! It's just nonsense. Although he is not a peerless beauty, how to deal with the aftermath if he chooses an ugly monster?

And who can guarantee that these masked girls are really the daughters of the Feng family's humerus ministers.

If he chooses any one, he is the daughter of a petty official of five or six grades...... Does he really want to marry the daughter of a petty official?

It's a joke! The three imperial uncles who were partial to themselves even praised Xiao Ying's wonderful arrangement. It's just that Xiao Ying's words are light and beautiful. If he refutes, he will undoubtedly be regarded by the world as a man who values color over talent.

If he does not refute it.

Is it really just a random ......

What he wants to marry is a real princess. Even if you can't marry a princess, at least you have to be the daughter of a first-class master.

Xiao Zining got up slowly, arched his hand to Feng Ge and Xiao Ying, and then said softly: "Zi Ning would rather listen to Emperor Feng...... Arrangement. ”
