Lixia; Why is the weather so hot recently, Wan'er asked Peaches, and Peaches said, "Miss, it's summer, it must be hot; You wait for me to get you a fan, and the fan will cool you down. ”

Wan'er saw that Peaches also jumped to get the fan, pursed her lips and laughed; said": There are not many people as simple as Peaches now, it's not easy. ”

As a result, the agile peach heard it and hurriedly ran back and lowered her head and asked with a smile, "Miss, Miss, were you praising me just now?" ”

"I didn't, you heard me wrong", Wan'er said quickly; It doesn't matter what I said, Peaches immediately puffed up and said: "Miss, you are so stingy, I have taken care of you for seven or eight years, and I don't necessarily praise me; Hmph, Momoko got angry. After speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but was pulled back by Wan'er and said: "Okay, okay; Funny to you, you're really good; I'm going to find you a good guy in the future, and I can't just give you to someone else."

When Momoko heard that Miss was going to find her a good man, she blushed and said hotly, "Miss, you are so annoying." And he ran out.

Wan'er couldn't stop laughing when she saw this scene, and it took a long time before she stopped; I've been here for three months, and before I know it, I've been here for a long time, and I feel like I've changed a lot.

At this time, the third aunt and the third lady came over and asked, "How are you doing?" I've been too busy lately, and my aunt hasn't brought my sister to see you for a long time. ”

When she saw the third aunt, she was disgusted and didn't know why, so she also responded softly, ": If the third aunt is busy recently, you don't have to come to see me, I'm almost fine." ”

The third aunt was embarrassed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, there will be a banquet in the palace in a few days; My aunt wants to see if you're better, if you don't have a good life, you don't have to go at home, just let the two younger sisters go, there is a representative."

Wan'er naturally knew what the third aunt was planning, but she didn't expose her and said: "Auntie, it doesn't matter, since the palace banquet is in, then I naturally want to go as a concubine; Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame for our house? ”

Hearing Ouyang Wan'er say this, the third aunt's face turned green; Then he said, "Well, the day after tomorrow we will enter the palace together; The lord and the lady will also pass by then, this time it is not for ordinary people to go, this time it is the birthday banquet of Emperor Hui and the concubine; Prepare a gift and bring it with you, and let someone give you the clothes you will prepare." Then he said to Ouyang Lin, "Lin'er, you can help my sister send clothes and jewelry over when the time comes."

Ouyang Lin now has thousands of reluctances in her heart and has no way to refuse, so she can only reply, "Okay, mother." After saying goodbye, the two said goodbye to Wan'er and left.

Wan'er didn't know what they were paying attention to, so she could only be secretly vigilant, and entered the house while thinking.

Wan'er thought to herself, it was the birthday of Emperor Hui's concubine; The gift must not be too bad, what to prepare for her?

Just when he was entangled, Qiu Tingrong jumped down at this time, and said to Wan'er: My mother's favorite is gold and silver jewelry, and I have a night pearl here; I will give it to you, and you will give it to my mother when the time comes."

Seeing this, Wan'er said: "Why do you like to eavesdrop on me every time? ”

"I'm not eavesdropping, I just happened to be passing by," Qiu Tingrong said casually.

Qiu Tingrong said: "I was kind enough to help you, but you still don't appreciate it? ”

Wan'er, who glanced at the Night Pearl, said: "This Night Pearl is yours, so you should send it; I myself know what to prepare, and I don't need you to worry; And next time, don't eavesdrop on me. With that, he walked into the back room.

Leaving Qiu Tingrong alone in the courtyard, Qiu Tingrong was wronged like this, and immediately turned around and left, and said in his mouth: "Then I want to see what treasure you prepare to give to my mother, and I won't help you if you can't give it a slap in the face when the time comes." Then he jumped out and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Peaches ran back and said to Wan'er, "Miss, Miss, I just went to help you see the clothes to be prepared in the palace; As a result, when I went to the fabric, the third lady had already taken it out, and there was nothing left for us; I'm so angry."

Wan'er said: "It's okay, let's just wear normal clothes; Don't steal the limelight from Emperor Hui's concubine."

Momoko also seems to have some sense, so she agreed. Then Momoko asked, "Then what gifts shall we prepare?" The third lady has prepared a lot of gold and silver jewelry; We don't seem to have anything! ”

Don't panic, Huihuang Guifei has also seen the market; Naturally, she is not such a superficial person, so I'll prepare others for her; You don't have to worry about it, you can just prepare the clothes that you will wear.

Momoko looked at Wan'er so confident, so she didn't bother to ask and went about her own business.

the next evening; Wan'er and Peach met Ouyang Lin as soon as they got out of the yard, and if you look closely, Ouyang Lin has a good face, with long eyelashes and big eyes, fair skin, very beautiful appearance, slender figure, weak and slender is too mature; Not like a fourteen-year-old girl, but like a twenty-year-old woman; saw that she was wearing a bright red dress with gold and silver jewelry and exaggerated makeup, and walked towards Wan'er proudly; It's like swearing sovereignty.

Ouyang Lin saw Wan'er and said, "Sister, our Prime Minister's Mansion is not so shabby when we are poor, right?" What are you wearing here, let outsiders know that the concubine of our Prime Minister's Mansion is dressed like this, and it won't make people laugh to death. ”

After speaking, he looked at Wan'er with a sneering face and laughed at herself, and Wan'er got into the carriage as if she hadn't heard.

At this time, Ouyang Lin saw that Wan'er ignored her, and she knew that she was bored, and got into the carriage, muttering: "When you go down to Hui Niangniang, see what you should do, I really don't know what to do!" ”

Peaches saw that Ouyang Lin had taunted Wan'er just now, so she said to Wan'er, "Miss, let's ignore her; If you go to the Nine Princes like her, you can't look down on her, don't worry; You look good today, quiet and elegant; Fresh hair, delicate face, clear eyes, and the fresh and natural smell from the inside out are among the best beauties in Gusu country! ”

This is natural because Wan'er said: "I didn't take this to heart at all, and it has nothing to do with her whether she looks good or not; Just went to give gifts and have a meal, seeing Ouyang Lin dressed so ceremoniously for fear of hitting the limelight of Emperor Hui's concubine. ”

"I see, when we didn't have new clothes before, you said it didn't matter, Miss; It turns out that you have thought of it a long time ago. Momoko said with hindsight.

The carriage staggered all the way to the gate of the palace, and all the family members could only enter on foot; As soon as she got out of the carriage, Wan'er saw a lot of young boys and girls, as well as dignitaries and nobles from all over the world and their wives and went straight to the palace.

Wan'er walked all the way into the palace, and many sons and princes looked at this girl, although it was not a blockbuster, but it was amazing; Wan'er, who watched from afar, was completely consistent with this poem: "A wild goose is slightly mourning the immortals, and the toad knows that I am willing to fall on the shoulder of the jade man."

Then Wan'er followed her father and mother into the banquet hall together, and from time to time there were bursts of voices of careful discussion about whose girl this was. Ouyang Lin, who had always been the protagonist, became a supporting role at this time, and when she saw that the limelight was all occupied by Ouyang Wan'er, she stared at Ouyang Wan'er with her eyes, like a poisonous snake looking at a mouse in the corner.

Then; Qiu Tingrong's cousin Qiu Duxue walked over slowly, and looked at the candlelight, only to see that her face and lips were flushed with rouge, bright and beautiful, and shy; The figure is also graceful.

I was proud but not a kind lord, and when I saw Ouyang Lin, who had such a fierce expression, she walked forward and said: "Why, has the momentum of the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion been defeated by a second lady who has been hidden in the snow for more than ten years?" It's really useless; If it were me, watching her sister steal the limelight would definitely not make her feel better. ”

Ouyang Lin listened to Qiu Duxue's provocation and responded: "I am the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Ancient Su State today, and everywhere I went in the past, everyone was in the limelight; I'm not going to make her any better! Then he turned and walked to the garden.

Knock knock knock....... I only heard the ancient bell on the city wall ringing all the time, and saw the two dragon robes wearing golden dragons and phoenixes in the palace slowly walking up to the dragon chairs; Although the saint is already over fifty years old, he still sits on the dragon chair with his demeanor, as if he is looking down on the world and looking down on all beings! Oh no, he's above all the thousands. Next to him is the current queen mother, who wants to marry the current queen mother when the emperor was still the prince; It wasn't until he ascended the throne and said that the emperor married the current Huihuang concubine that he began to recruit concubines and concubines, thinking that the emperor back then was also an infatuated person. Although the queen is not as good as the princess Huihuang, she is also dignified and generous, elegant and decent.

Suddenly, a woman came out, and from the statue she looked at about twenty-three or four; A pale pink skirt has a low neckline, revealing a plump chest and a face like a hibiscus; The eyebrows are like willows, and the eyes that are more charming than peach blossoms look very attractive; skin like snow, black hair pulled into a high beauty bun; The bright red lips rose slightly, what a peerless beauty.

At this time, the woman slowly walked up to the hall, and the ministers and the sons and ladies bowed their heads and said together: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live the queen, long live; Huihuang Guifei Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

Wan'er also saluted with them, and thought to herself: "It turns out that you are Qiu Tingrong's mother, and since you are a woman in her early thirties, she can look like a twenty-year-old girl; There is a strong temptation between the gestures, no wonder the emperor will favor Concubine Hui; If I were a man, I would like such a woman, who wouldn't like to be so charming. ”

At this time, the emperor and the queen said together, "Let's be exempt from courtesy."

The ministers and sons and buddies got up, and the emperor said: "Today is the birthday of Concubine Hui Guifei, and you don't need to be polite; Just drink and have fun. After speaking, the ministers also replied together: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Concubine Hui." ”

At the beginning of the banquet, the eunuchs outside the door reported the gifts sent by the ministers from all walks of life: "Yipingao sent a pair of Longmu jade jade, a pair of white jade bell hairpins, pure black crystal ginseng silver hairpins, and 100 taels of gold, and General Sima sent a pair of agate greenstone pendants, a pair of jade Guanyin pendants, a pair of crystal diamond hairpins, a pair of thousand-year-old treasures, and 20 pieces of silk; Prime Minister Ouyang's Mansion sent a pair of golden dragon jade sticks, a pair of supreme golden jade Buddha pendants, a pair of jasper dragon and phoenix hairpins, 10,000 taels of gold, and 100 pieces of silk......... The ministers and the sons of the ministers listened to the huge eyes, and made sure that they had heard correctly; Several ministers privately discussed how rich this Ouyang Mansion was, which was really envious and jealous.

Concubine Hui Guifei listened to the many gifts sent by Ouyang Mansion and said: "I heard that we have three daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Gusu State, I don't know what gifts these three daughters prepared for me?" ”

At this time, Ouyang Lin took the brunt of the storm and ran forward with a smile and said, "Hui Niangniang, I'm Lin'er!" Do you remember me? I asked someone to send you from the Western Regions, fragrant wood, inlaid with gold, blessings, number of beads, bracelets, mutton fat jade bracelets and butterfly gilt earrings; There is only one of our Gusu countries, so naturally it can only be worthy of Hui Niangniang."

Concubine Hui was naturally very happy when she heard someone praising her, and said: "Just count Lin'er is the most hearted, you should be the second daughter of the Ouyang Mansion family, right?" ”

Ouyang Lin listened to her mistake and couldn't refute it directly, so she could only say silently: "Hui Niangniang, I'm afraid that I drank too much sweet wine, I'm a third girl; It's not a second girl."

When Hui Guifei saw Ouyang Lin say this, she also knew that she recognized the wrong person and was embarrassed, so she said that she didn't know if she drank too much, leaving the embarrassed Ouyang Lin aside.

The emperor suddenly said: "Ouyang, I remember that today, your family's house has 2,000 gold; Why didn't you see it? ”

Hearing that the emperor was looking for Wan'er, Ouyang immediately took Wan'er's hand and walked up to the palace and said: "What kind of daughter is that, just an ordinary girl." ”

Seeing Ouyang Wan'er's face, the emperor was also stunned, although he had seen it when he was a child, he still felt that it was so charming when he had grown up; The emperor said: "Zheng remembers that the second daughter of your house has a marriage with Zheng's Nine Emperor Princes? ”

Ouyang saw that the emperor had returned from mentioning the long-term matter": returning to the emperor, there is indeed this time; However, after many years, the old minister still thought that you were just talking. ”

"How could it be, Zheng said that it must be difficult to chase the horse; Look at your daughter, I'm afraid that there is also a Fang Ling 16 who should get married, and wait for another day to choose a good day and an auspicious day for Lao Jiu to come to the door to propose! The emperor said.

When Wan'er saw this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Meet the emperor, the courtiers and your nine princes have no love; Please also withdraw your will and find someone else. ”

Qiu Tingrong just entered the main hall when he heard Ouyang Wan'er say this, so he responded: "How! Is there anyone who is still unwilling to marry the Nine Emperors of the State of Su? Or do you not look down on our family? ”
