When leaving the mansion of the servant of the ministry, Zhang Youtao asked the concierge to tell Mrs. Li that she would leave first if she had something urgent, and then return to the house when she had time. ”

Of course Zhang Youtao is very busy, the eighth princess's car has already come down from the temple on the mountain, if she doesn't find a chance to change the real princess back, she will be exposed when she returns to the palace. Fortunately, when they waited for the eighth princess's car in a remote place, Zhang Youtao changed the eighth princess back to the car with a little trick, and when everything returned to normal, Zhang Youtao also returned to the palace.

"Well, my task of matchmaking has been completed, and it depends on their fate whether they succeed or not!" Zhang Youtao looked at the six princes and said.

"I bet you, these two people will definitely move in three days!" The sixth prince looked at Zhang Youtao and smiled.

Two days later, the palace banquet was held as scheduled, and the children of qualified officials came to use hundreds of people, and the emperor and the queen mother quietly inspected all aspects of their talent and conduct, and these people also understood the meaning of the queen mother and the emperor, and they were eager to show their full strength to show themselves. The Queen Mother looked at these young talents one by one with a pair of shrewd eyes, and when she saw the agreeable, she asked the people around her who knew the specific situation of these people, and after screening these people several times, only a few dozen of the hundreds of people were the best of the best, and when these candidates were determined, the palace banquet was over.

Many young talents are reluctant to leave the palace banquet, and he hopes that they will linger in front of the emperor for as long as possible, because in this way they may have more opportunities. Of course, Wang Jinchi did not come to the banquet, Lord Wang told the emperor and the queen mother that his second son did not know what he had eaten, and his stomach was so bad that he could not even get out of bed.

When the list of these favorite candidates was obtained, the Queen Mother hurriedly called Concubine Cheng and the Eighth Princess, after all, it was a lifelong event for her only biological daughter, and Concubine Cheng heard the Queen Mother's will and hurriedly took the Eighth Princess to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Good granddaughter, come and see, this is the candidate for the concubine selected by the imperial grandmother for you, you and your mother will take a look first, and when you have time, invite these people into the palace again, so that you and your mother can choose well." The Queen Mother looked at the eighth princess, and her face was full of love.

At this moment, the eighth princess was preoccupied, and her delicate little face seemed to be a little haggard, as if she had not rested well.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern for the eighth princess!" Seeing this, Concubine Cheng hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother.

"The eighth princess is my favorite granddaughter, and caring about her marriage is what I should do as a grandmother, the family doesn't need to say anything thank you, you hurry up!" Seeing this, the maids beside the Queen Mother hurriedly helped her up and became a concubine.

"Imperial grandmother, don't worry about this, my granddaughter is still young, and I want to stay in the palace for a few more years!" The eighth princess said coquettishly to the Queen Mother.

"The imperial grandmother knows that you are still young, and she is not in a hurry to let you get married, now you choose the right people first, and you can get married after you are 18 years old, if you don't choose a good person now, there will be no young master of the right age at that time!"

The eighth princess listened to the queen mother's words and reluctantly took over the list of dozens of selected people, and Concubine Cheng also hurried to the eighth princess and looked at the candidates on the booklet.

"Imperial grandmother, there are too many people in this booklet, I can't finish reading it at once, I want to read it slowly and choose it slowly, okay?"

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "Okay, of course, this is my precious granddaughter's lifelong event, of course I have to choose well, don't worry, you can take it back and watch it slowly with your mother in a while!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Youtao is helping Yinhuan and Yucui prepare a dowry, and after discussing with Yucui and Yinhuan, she decided to do a family affair for Yinhuan first, because Yinhuan is close to Yucui and far away, and Yinhuan can still send Yucui to marry after getting married, if Yucui marries first and goes to the border, there is no way to participate in Yinhuan's wedding.

The two girls have been with them for a long time, and they can be regarded as having shared hardships with Zhang Youtao, so Zhang Yutao's dowry for the two of them is exactly the same generous, which also shows her fairness and fairness to both of them. In addition, Zhang Youtao decided to make a wedding dress for the two of them to express her heart.

While she was busy sewing the wedding dress, a father-in-law walked in.

"Miss Tao'er, Lord Wang asked someone to come to the palace to carry a message saying that the second son is sick, I hope you can go back to the house to have a look!"

"What, the second brother is sick?" As soon as Zhang Youtao heard this, she quickly stopped what she was doing.

"Didn't you say what the disease was, whether it was serious or not?"

"This slave doesn't know, the person who delivered the letter said that the second son doesn't think about eating and drinking these days, and he is always in a daze!" The little father-in-law truthfully repaid Zhang Youtao.

"Okay, tell the messenger and I'll go there at once!"

At this moment, the sixth prince also walked in: "I'll go with you!" ”

In this way, the two of them got into the carriage and hurried to the mansion of the servant.

When Zhang Youtao saw her second brother, she was taken aback, and saw that the second son had only been two or three days old, and his eyes were blue, and he was half lying on the bed in a daze.

When he saw Zhang Youtao, his original godless eyes suddenly had a glow: "Sister, are you back?" ”

Zhang Youtao looked at Wang Jinchi's appearance and felt a little distressed: "Second brother, what's wrong with you, what's uncomfortable, let my sister give you a number and pulse!" ”

Wang Jinchi, who came back to his senses, saw that he and his parents and the six princes also came with his sister, he suddenly got up from the bed in a hurry and wanted to salute the six princes, but was pulled by the six princes: "The second prince is sick, so you don't need to be polite, I see that your sister and brother seem to have something to say, I will go out with your father and mother first, and we will come in again when you are finished!" ”

After watching the six princes go out with their father and mother, Wang Jinchi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, why didn't the Runling girl you brought back last time to play chess with me come back with you?" Wang Jinchi looked at Zhang Youtao and asked.

Zhang Youtao listened to her second brother's question, and immediately understood everything.

"Someone from the house said that you were sick, I was patronizing and returning to the house in a hurry, she still had some things to do, so I came back by myself, do you have anything to do with her?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I'm just asking! Wang Jinchi said with a little weakness.

"Speaking of which, this Runling is really a good fate, she only came to my side to serve for a few days before the Queen Mother took a fancy to her, and planned to marry her to the Queen Mother's distant cousin as a wife, this Queen Mother's distant cousin I have also seen, although she is young but very talented, and she is also very good-looking, isn't she now sewing a wedding dress for herself in the palace!" Zhang Youtao continued to quietly add a fire to Wang Jinchi.

"What, you said she's getting married?" Wang Jinchi was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately stood up barefoot from the bed. Because he got out of bed and pulled his lungs too hard, he coughed violently.

Seeing this, Zhang Youtao hurriedly pressed down several of his big holes, and he stopped coughing little by little.

"Look at what you're anxious about, you can't say it slowly, are you in love with that girl?" Zhang Youtao asked pretending not to care.

"Yes, yes. I fell in love with her, since I saw him once that day, my mind was full of her shadow, I scolded myself for being unproductive, I wanted to control my feelings, but it was useless, I couldn't eat or sleep, I really want to see her now, sister, you can help me! Wang Jinchi looked at Zhang Youtao with a sincere face.

"But she's about to marry someone else, so how can I bring her out to see you again?" Zhang Youtao said "embarrassed".

"Sister, I beg you, you help me think of ideas, don't let her marry someone else, I like a girl for the first time when I'm so old, if she marries someone else, I won't marry for life, can you bear to watch your brother be alone for the rest of your life? Besides, the conditions of our family are not worse than the cousin and nephew of the Queen Mother, our father is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, our mother has been named the third rank of the wife, the eldest brother is now also the official residence of the fourth grade, and the sister-in-law is the daughter of the general of the dynasty. Good sister, you can help me! Wang Jinchi grabbed Zhang Youtao's hand and couldn't help but plead bitterly.

"Don't you really mind that she's just a little palace maid with a humble status, and she won't be able to help you in the future?" Zhang Youtao looked at Wang Jincheng's earnest appearance and was also very moved.

"Don't mind, Miss Runling has both talent and appearance, although she comes from a humble background, but her knowledge and conduct are not lost to those ladies, I really like her, I will never treat her lightly because of her background, if I can be lucky enough to be married to her, I am willing to be the same as my father, only take a scoop of weak water for 3,000, cherish her well for the rest of my life, and will never take a concubine again, she will always be my only wife!" Wang Jincheng looked at Zhang Youtao and said very firmly.

Zhang Youtao couldn't help but tease in her heart when she heard Wang Jincheng's words: "I know this without you saying it, since ancient times, you have seen a few concubines who have not taken another concubine with the permission of the princess, you don't want to take a concubine now, and when you want to take a concubine, I'm afraid you won't have a chance!" ”

It was here that the sixth prince walked in from outside the door: "Second son, I heard what you said, you really have a crush on this Runling girl, no matter what her identity is, you don't regret it?" ”
