Spring is warming up and flowers are about to bloom. In the capital, the streets and alleys, people come and go, and it seems that it is more lively and prosperous than last year.

Suddenly, a father-in-law with a lot of pomp came to the Xiangguo Mansion, saying that he was here to pass on the emperor's message.

After Yu Xiaohuan understood the meaning of this message, he scolded in his heart: Old thing, the emperor is amazing! Your son and daughter-in-law are married, I'm afraid that soon your grandfather should also be a grandfather, and you still have to choose a concubine! It's just a matter of choosing a concubine, and I actually hit this girl's idea! I almost became your daughter-in-law!

Woo woo, but, this oracle is equivalent to a holy decree, right? Disobeying the holy decree is a death story, right?

Could it be that I, Yu Xiaohuan, want to say goodbye to this crossing with the death of my head?

Can't you leave me a way out? I don't want to die so resentful.

After receiving the commandment, the whole Xiangguo Mansion was shrouded in gloom, and the dark clouds were thick, and the breath of the growth of all things in spring could not break through this layer of black and oppressive dark clouds, just waiting for who would poke it first and let the first drop of rain fall.

Liang Zhiheng came back from an errand outside and heard about it, so he immediately rushed to Yu Xiaohuan's house, closed the doors and windows, and said very seriously: "Do you want to leave?" If you want to go, the second brother will take you away now! ”

Yu Xiaohuan was so moved that she almost cried, "If I leave, what will my father do?" What about Xiangguofu? ”

But, he ...... He can be your father now. Liang Zhiheng clenched his fists, his voice was very forbearing, but his body trembled with anger. How can my brother bear ......"

Yu Xiaohuan finally couldn't control it anymore, tears flowed down, she hugged her brother and cried bitterly. "But I'm to blame for all this! If I hadn't ruined my reputation by being playful, I would have been the crown princess by now; If I hadn't insisted on dancing at the court, he wouldn't have noticed me; If I had been the crown princess, or if he hadn't noticed me, I wouldn't be where I am today! ”

"It's not your fault, you are simple and kind, how can you know how to think about this?" Liang Zhiheng said with tears in his eyes, "It's my brother who didn't think it through, and my brother didn't protect you." ”

Both of them were very forbearant and restrained, obviously sad and angry in their hearts, but they could only swallow their anger. I didn't dare to cry out loud, and I couldn't speak loudly.

Yu Xiaohuan gritted her teeth and pursed her mouth, she was afraid that if she lost control and made a big move, she would cause some trouble again and drag down the family again.

Yu Xiaohuan locked herself in her room and thought about it all night, if it was the real Liang Yaqing who was facing this matter now, what would she do? She will definitely protect this family and will not let her family be implicated because of her. She was always so kind and understanding.

Yu Xiaohuan thought, she can't take up other people's identities and not do what others want to do, right? So she cleaned herself up, calmly walked up to Liang Xiangguo and the old lady, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "My daughter is willing to enter the palace to participate in the draft." ”

"But you're so young!" Mrs. Liang had tears in her eyes.

"But I'm also from Xiangguofu, aren't I?" Yu Xiaohuan smiled as much as she could, "Everyone is doing their best for this family, and my daughter can't always hide behind the backing you have erected." ”

Liang Xiangguo still had a blue face and didn't say a word. He was a faithful courtier, and even if the emperor was wrong, he would not disobey the holy will. Therefore, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he could only sigh secretly at night.

My friend Li Yuer came with good wine, but she was also depressed, and pouted: "Now I look for you to drink, I don't dare to invite you outside." ”

Yu Xiaohuan said: "Isn't it good here, just the two of us, so as to save others from talking nonsense." ”

Li Yuer sighed several times after drinking a glass of wine.

Yu Xiaohuan had no choice but to tease her: "You are so frustrated, you don't know, you still think that your sweetheart is going to marry another girl!" ”

Li Yuer drank again, "My current mood is more uncomfortable than hearing that my sweetheart is going to marry another girl." ”

"You haven't experienced it again!" Yu Xiaohuan said. I thought to myself: But I've experienced it, and that feeling is really not very pleasant.

Li Yuer said: "I have a temperament and I don't have many friends, so it's rare to fall in love with you, but you want to ...... Will it be difficult for us to meet in the future? ”

"What did you say?" Yu Xiaohuan said angrily, "Isn't the palace also in the capital?" "It's just that if you go in, it's hard to get out.

Li Yu'er looked at Yu Xiaohuan in a daze and said, "Is there no other way?" Your father is Xiangguo. ”

Yu Xiaohuan pretended to be relaxed and said: "I may not be selected." "But the emperor has already made an order, how can he let her go easily.

Yu Xiaohuan smiled and whispered in Li Yu'er's ear: "Although he is a little old, he has a high status!" I became his concubine, and the lord of the county could no longer ride on my head and bully me, nor could he bully my family. In case I'm a little luckier and get a higher position, maybe the county lord will have to kneel and bow to her when he sees him......" She is not only asking Li Yuer to think about the good side, but also to cheer herself up and let herself see a little more.

When I woke up after a big drunk, the day of entering the palace seemed to have come suddenly. Before arriving at the palace gate, Yu Xiaohuan stopped and stared at the high palace gate, his heart was blank.

Most of the people who participated in the draft were the daughters of the minister's family, and there were inevitably a few familiar ones, who could see her identity as the daughter of the Xiangguo Mansion at a glance, and then said some cool things about last year.

Yu Xiaohuan didn't bother to take care of it, anyway, after entering this towering palace wall, where would he have any friends.

After the preliminary screening, the good people can participate in the next draft.

This draft is divided into talent selection and appearance selection. Yu Xiaohuan can't write poems, he writes with a brush, and he doesn't even know a few traditional characters, so he can't choose it; However, she has the good skin of the first beauty in the capital, and there should be no problem with her appearance. But so many people were reluctant to let her be trapped within the walls of this palace, so she had to go against the grain and choose this path after leaving.

When writing poetry, her words are shallow and incorrect; Danqing, she can only cartoon, and her penmanship is clumsy; Reading, what four books and five classics, not a word; Anyway, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

As she took the test, she smiled, thinking that she might be able to go home without finishing the test.

However, I don't know if the opponent is too weak, or who looks up to her too much, and actually let her pass.

Yu Xiaohuan inexplicably became a talented person and stayed in the East Garden of Yeting Palace with other talented people.

Yu Xiaohuan was not very happy in her heart, sitting alone under an old tree in the courtyard, mourning, as if she had begun to wait for the fate of a lifetime alone.

But this protection is not what she wants!
