February 15 is the flower festival is also the queen's millennium festival, the queen does not like luxury, the millennium in previous years the queen mother in the Jiaofang Hall to accept the court, the banquet inside and outside the life of the woman passed. But this year's Qianqiu Festival is different, one is the whole birthday, the holy decree to the Ministry of Rites to celebrate, and the four officials and above should bring their relatives into the palace to congratulate; The second is that the queen mother issued a decree to ask the foreign woman to bring the girls who have not left the cabinet into the palace.

"The queen is going to choose a concubine for King Zhao, do you want to take the five girls?" Old Madam Yan asked. King Zhao's biological mother died of illness not long after giving birth to King Zhao, and now she is raised under the name of Concubine De, which is the prince's faction. Although she was not worried about her position, Mrs. Yan still didn't want her granddaughter to marry him.

"Old woman, what are you worried about? Although the royal family does not pay attention to seniority, the queen will not let an aunt and nephew marry two brothers. Yan Taifu said with a smile, although there was a pair of aunts and nephews and a pair of aunts and nephews in the palace of the first emperor, but there is no harem today.

Old Madam Yan patted her head, she forgot about Princess Chu. Despite this, Mrs. Yan still instructed Mrs. Yan, "Let the five girls dress up more ordinary." โ€

Mrs. Yan was also worried that her daughter would be selected, so after telling Yan Qin, she went to ask Yan Hao, who often entered the palace, "Xiaoxiao, when you enter the harem, you have to take care of your fifth sister more, don't let your fifth sister be alone." โ€

"Auntie, don't worry, I will follow the fifth sister." Yan Hagi agreed.

Mrs. Yan was reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace, but Mrs. Yan San wanted her daughter to enter the palace, but Yan Sanye was a fifth-grade official and was not qualified; Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan also did not plan to bring the granddaughter of the third room into the palace, which made Mrs. Yan very unhappy.

"The second girl is married, but the sixth girl is also the same age, why can't she be brought into the palace?" Mrs. Yan San said angrily.

Yan Qian also wants to enter the palace, after all, she can see Tang Li, if she can perform well in front of the queen, she may be able to achieve her wish, but unfortunately she can't make the decision for this matter.

Yan Qin entered the palace for the first time, and was originally looking forward to it, but was affected by her mother's nervousness, and she was trembling from the beginning of getting into the carriage, pulling the handkerchief with both hands, making her knuckles white. Yan Hagi put her little hand on the back of her sister's hand, "Fifth sister, with me, I will accompany you, I salute, you salute, I call people, you just call people, and I won't bump into the nobles." โ€

"Twelfth sister, thank you." Yan Qin held her sister's hand, and her heart slowly settled down.

Yan Hagi smiled.

At the beginning of the time, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate, the sisters got out of the car, and met with Mrs. Yan and others, Yan Siye handed over the sign, the guards let him go, and entered the palace. Mrs. Yan, Uncle Yan and Fourth Master Yan went directly to the Yushoutai where the banquet was held, and the female dependents went to the Jiaofang Palace.

On the way to Jiaofang Palace, I met many ladies of the family, all of whom were wearing high-grade court clothes, surrounded by beads and green, and dressed in a grand and noble manner; Around them, there are girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet, some of these young ladies are like Yan Qin, they are dressed very ordinary, and some are very outstanding; The position of the princess is still very attractive.

"Aunt Min, I haven't seen you for a long time, your old body is still so healthy." A round-faced woman with a rather festive appearance and a smile on her face came over to greet her.

Old Madam Yan looked at it and said with a smile: "It's Shilan, when did you return to Beijing?" โ€

The woman is the wife of Qiao Shu, a guerrilla general, and she was originally the wife chosen by Mrs. Yan for Yan Sanye, but unfortunately Yan Sanye had to marry Jiang, and this family affair was not done, so Mrs. Yan told Lu to her friend's son Qiao Shu. Mrs. Yan had heard of this old story, but the county lord of Nanping knew nothing. Mrs. Yan looked at the hearty Lu family, and wondered if Yan Sanye regretted facing the Jiang family, who was becoming more and more vulgar and philistine, but said with a smile on her face: "Sister Shilan, I haven't seen you for a long time." โ€

Lu said with a smile: "Hello sister-in-law Yan, I just returned to Beijing a few days ago, and I was planning to go to the house to pay a visit in a few days, but I didn't expect to meet in the palace today." โ€

"Is your mother-in-law okay?" Mrs. Yan asked her friend about the current situation.

"Mother-in-law, she is fine, my eldest and eldest girl accompanied her to visit her uncle in her hometown, and she will enter Beijing in a few days." Lu smiled.

"I remember that you gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses later, and you didn't bring them back this time?" Old Madam Yan asked, after the Lu family married Qiao Shu, they gave birth to two sons and two daughters, what a blessing this is! The third child treats the fisheye as a pearl and misses the real pearl.

"Ji Yu went to Yushou Terrace with his father, and he was ...... She was a little uncomfortable and had diarrhea, so I didn't take her into the palace. "When it comes to her youngest daughter, she lied, so she was a little weak-hearted.

"When she gets better, bring her to play at home, you saw Qin'er when she was a child, this is Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the fourth child." Old Madam Yan said with a smile.

Yan Qin was still in a state of tension and was slow to react; Yan Hagi looked up and smiled: "Hello aunt." โ€

"Good boy." Lu took off the jade bracelet in his hand and wanted to give it to Yan Hao.

Old Madam Yan stopped her, "In the palace, these greeting gifts will be waived." โ€

A few people talked about the old days, and then went to the Jiaofang Hall together. The main hall was opened today, and Queen Yu was wearing a bright yellow dress and a crown of twelve dragons and phoenixes, looking majestic and noble. There are several palace concubines sitting on each side of her left and right hands, and under the jade steps, there are already a lot of foreign women, including Yan Hao's maternal grandmother Princess Rong, her two aunts, the eldest princess of Chengyang, Mrs. Anguo Shizi, Duchess Pingguo and Mrs. Shizi and so on.

When the palace maid was about to kneel down with Mrs. Yan, at the signal of the queen, she shouted: "Excuse me." "Old Madam Yan, Mrs. Yan and the county lord of Nanping did not kneel, but curtsy.

Yan Qin and Yan Hagi are juniors, Queen Yu did not exempt them from the courtesy, Yan Qin saw Yan Hagi kneeling, and also knelt and kowtowed to Queen Yu. When she stood up, Yan Qin felt that there was a hateful gaze staring at her. Yan Qin used the corner of her eye to quickly look over, and found that it was the palace girl standing next to the palace concubine on the right. She could be sure that she hadn't seen the palace girl before, and she really didn't understand the reason for the palace girl's hatred for her.

Stepping aside, Yan Qin asked in a low voice, "Twelfth sister, who is the girl in purple and red palace clothes standing on the right side of the palace concubine?" โ€

"Concubine Zhou Xian and Lord Yijia, she is a madman, don't get close to her." Yan Hagi replied.

Knowing who it was, Yan Qin also understood where this hatred came from.
