Chapter VI

"Humph! This Li Jiao has always been against the old man, if it weren't for His Majesty's favor on him, the old man would have collapsed his prince's mansion thousands of times! "In the middle of the night, there were no stars and no moon, and I saw an old man in the Yang Mansion furious, and the spies in front of him were frightened when they heard the sound." Xiang Ye is angry, since King Guangping doesn't appreciate it, then let's..."The spy made a posture of wiping his neck, "No!" You are putting the old man to death, if Your Majesty finds out, the old man will definitely not be able to get out of it! "That...""Don't worry, the old man will keep him first, and he will have his own way to deal with him in the future!"

The next day, in the palace, the clothes were dressed together, and the crowd competed for beauty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are embroidery, poetry, and music theory in this primary selection, and only those with the highest grades can enter the palace selection. Let's move on to the first scene: Embroidery"

I saw the cardamom girl in front of each case embroidering a silk handkerchief in her hand in an orderly manner, and the patterns on the handkerchief were all lifelike. But among these women, there is a difference, this good family has slender fingers, according to the cocoon on the hand can be seen that the usual practice of calligraphy and embroidery, according to the face there is no nervous and anxious, but for some reason, the embroidery on the hand is mediocre, to be precise, the embroidery is unsightly, the stitches are crooked. This good family is Shen Nianqing. An hour passed, and when the other people's embroideries were waiting to be handed in, Shen Nianqing looked at the defective products in his hand with a proud face. I saw the good family next to her with a look of disgust on his face.

In the next two competitions of poetry and music theory, Shen Nianqing pretended to be a vulgar person with shallow knowledge, and after half a day, after the primary election, Shen Nianqing looked very relaxed when he walked out of the palace gate. However, she ignored His Royal Highness the King of Quang Binh, who came to meet him disguised as a civilian.

"Look at that person, the embroidery is vulgar, the poetry is also coarse, not to mention the music theory, and the result is still proud and complacent, I really don't understand!" Shen Nianqing had already walked to the carriage, and Tong Wei heard someone talking about his own miss, so he retorted: "Our young lady is a talented girl of Wu Xing, and there has never been anything that can stump our young lady, and this poor performance is just because you don't want to compete with you short-sighted people!" "Tong Wei! What nonsense are you talking about! Tong Wei realized that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, lifted the curtain to help Shen Nianqing get into the car, and drove away.

His Royal Highness King Guangping, who was listening from the side, said to the servants beside him: "The selection of the East Palace has always been a squeeze for the election, and I have never seen anyone who does not want to enter the palace. This woman is quite interesting. "Your Highness, it's also possible that she is a woman who is famous!" Li Jiao snorted coldly: "If it's really just a waste of fame, why can't you enter the palace, why are your steps brisk, and your face is full of pride?" Li Jiao said that, and walked towards Xuanzong, who was walking.

"The grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather, and the son-in-law has seen his father, the queen and the mother." When Xuanzong saw Li Jiao coming, he stopped and said with a smile: "I am discussing with your father and the concubine about choosing a wife for you, and I didn't think that you would come by yourself." Then he beckoned and said, "This is the roster and portrait of the sons of the good family who have entered the palace selection, you can see if you like it." After Li Jiao looked at the list, sure enough, Shen Nianqing did not enter the palace selection, thinking of her smug expression, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose. What are you laughing at? Is there anything you like? Xuanzong asked when he saw the corners of Li Jiao's mouth raised. Li Jiao realized his gaffe, so he put away his expression and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson looks at these volumes like a history book in the study, and I think of the history books I have read before, Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, did his best to benefit the people when he was the prince of Suiguo, and deposed Yu Wenyun, and my grandson felt that Yang Jian was indeed a generation of Ming monarchs. ”
