"That's it."

Emperor Jin An put it down and frowned in disgust.

"After all, most of my life has passed, time is short, the world will be hers in the future, and when I sleep in the underground palace, no matter how big waves in the world are monstrous!"

After all, this maverick portrait is still left behind, as for how to fulfill this lie that deceives the world, it depends on what the East Palace does.

Early in the morning, Shi Xia waited beside Qi Changrong restlessly, looking at His Royal Highness who looked like usual behind the bookcase, she paused and paused, hesitated several times, and finally asked cautiously: "Your Highness, ...... the portrait you painted last night?"

Qi Changrong was immersed in official business, and replied without raising his head: "Yuan Yi didn't send anyone here, it must have passed." ”

After hearing this, Shi Xia not only failed to rest assured, but became even more worried: "Your Highness, is this made-up identity too unreliable, where are you going to find such a girl to participate in the concubine selection banquet in six days?" ”

Burly figure, tall height......

In recent years, girls have always regarded thinness as beauty, and if a girl really looks like that, she really wants to die of shame.

What else prairie girl?

I really don't know what His Highness thinks, obviously when he made up Xie Tanyuan, he was justified, well-founded, and reasonable, even if someone investigates, it can stand up to scrutiny.

But the prairie girl,......

Not to mention, but few people want to believe it.

In a hurry, Qi Changrong raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Xia, slowly put down the wolf pen and loosened his wrist, and said: "What they want is their suspicion and uncertainty, so that many people will run around for this woman's identity." ”

"And these people who are on the move are very likely to become future troubles."

"Investigate, kill."

"To prevent future troubles."

is different from Xie Tanyuan, as the mother of the monarch's family, Xie Tanyuan is destined to live in other people's words, so the less people know, the better.

But the mother of the Jin Kingdom is different.

The mother of the nation is destined to 'show her face' and live under the noses of the people of the world.

Therefore, it is destined to be impossible to hide.

In this case, Qi Changrong is used to taking the initiative in his own hands.

She is like a hunter, in front of many beasts who do not listen to the indoctrination and only have self-killing in their eyes, she puts the food with all the color and taste, and waits for the beasts to rush up.

Driven by instinct, those things can only see the food in front of them, and ignore the traps of the food full of sharp nails.

She will wait patiently.

And then...... Catch them all.

It's complicated, but she enjoys it.

After Qi Changrong's patient explanation, Shi Xia finally understood that His Royal Highness used the grassland girl in the painting as a bait and the future position of the mother of the country as a bait, and many people would be anxious and greedily and stupidly coveted the supreme position.

In this way, it just gives His Highness a reason to purge them.

Shi Xia sighed, admiring Qi Changrong as if he admired the most powerful hero in the world.

……

Six days later, the royal feast was held.

In the name of the head mother of the clan under the Qi royal family, the fifty ladies in the portrait were entertained.

About fifty years old, Mrs. Zheng, who was graceful and luxurious, sat on a bamboo seat in the garden with a smile, and her daughter and daughter-in-law sat around.

The small and small garden is full of daughters of noble officials.

Mrs. Zheng has a shallow blood of the Qi royal family, although after generations of reproduction, the royal blood in her blood is already very thin, but because of the withering of the royal heirs, even with this thin bloodline, she can sit firmly in the position of the head of the clan.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, it only stops at her generation, if there are no more amazing and brilliant descendants, her descendants are destined to be lost to everyone.

All the brilliance of the Qi royal family may be returned.

Perhaps she wanted to do her best for future generations, even though she was fifty years old, Mrs. Zheng still walked on crutches, accompanied by her daughter and daughter-in-law, and took over the important task of inviting the 'quasi-concubine'.

At this moment, Old Madam Zheng had a kind face and half-squinted eyes, like an ordinary old lady who had read thousands of sails, and she couldn't see the shrewdness of her youth.

Facing the girls in the garden, who were just a little restless, Mrs. Zheng smiled very kindly, and said softly:

"You don't have to be nervous, I just invite you to come for a day, the royal garden is a place for the royal family to rest, it is rare to open to the public once, since you are fortunate to come, you will put down your worries, easy to talk and laugh and watch and play."

As soon as these words came out, the girls agreed one after another.

Yang Jingran responded with a smile: "What Mrs. Zheng said is that she finally came here once, so she naturally had to have a good time, and she couldn't wait for her sisters to inquire when she went home, but I couldn't say why." ”

Rong Jin is not far behind: "I have long heard that the royal garden raises the best peacocks, and I take this opportunity to see how beautiful the peacocks are." ”

Chen Yuntang took over the conversation meaningfully: "The so-called peacock opening the screen is to courting the object of your desire, but Sister Rong has found a good meaning." ”

Facing the sarcasm in Chen Yuntang's words, Rong Jin smiled very calmly, lowered his voice slightly, and turned his head to look over: "After all, aren't we dozens of people all peacocks who are preparing to open the screen?" It's a pity that there are more monks and less porridge, and those who can achieve their wishes are destined to be only one person, and the rest are all foils. ”

On the surface, the atmosphere of the garden seems to be harmonious, but secretly it is full of-for-tat.

Old Madam Zheng has already seen all the things in the world and has decades of experience, how can the shallow cover of these girls' families, the thin mask covering her face, escape her eyes?

In the turbulent competition, no one jumped out to make trouble, but tried their best to show the best posture, as if they wanted to gamble everything to come out on top.

It is said to be relaxing, but who can really relax?

They all know that the so-called banquet and scenery is just an excuse.

Perhaps at this moment, the prince of the East Palace was standing in a certain place watching their every move.

Then among them, pick out the one who is most in tune with the prince of the East Palace - the crown princess.

Obviously there are only three words, but everyone is enthusiastic, if they can successfully win this crown, their lives will be turned upside down, and they will soar from then on.

No one wants to pass up such an opportunity.

Among the many sharp edges, Old Madam Zheng was at ease, and after taking a breath, she said calmly: "I am too old to lead the girls to wander around the garden, the girls can disperse on their own, there are hundreds of slaves waiting to be sent in the circle, if fate makes it, you may be able to find unexpected surprises in this garden." ”

This is close to being made explicit.

Old Madam Zheng was clearly telling the girls that the prince of the East Palace was here, and if they had the ability to have a chance encounter with the prince of the East Palace and leave an excellent impression on His Royal Highness the Prince, then the chances of winning would be extremely high.

In front of you is a monstrous wealth.

In front of me is a hundred years of honor.

No one will back down.

They were warriors, trying to conquer a cliff that no one had ever been able to climb to the top.

After all, she was old, and after only sitting here for a while, Old Madam Zheng felt extremely tired, and before leaving, she warned in a serious voice: "That gentleman is a gentleman with beautiful scenery, and there may be no room for sand in his eyes...... Proceed with caution, you guys. ”

After saying that, Mrs. Zheng waved her hand, and the girls thanked each other, and then dispersed in all directions.

After they left, Mrs. Zheng's daughter-in-law asked puzzledly, "Why did Mother talk to them so much?" The royal garden covers an area of thousands of acres, in which the scenery is innumerable, if you want to meet a person here, it is difficult to go to the blue sky. ”

"You also said that it is difficult to go to the sky."

Old Madam Zheng smiled, and the light in her eyes flashed slightly: "I just drew a big cake for them, and made a good relationship with a simple word, so that no matter who the chosen person is, if she can remember this kindness, our Zheng family can go further and more stable." ”

In fact, Mrs. Zheng didn't give anything.

She just cast a huge fishing net, gathered all the fish in the net, and let them struggle in the net, waiting for the final winner to come out.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's daughter-in-law suddenly realized that she was guilty: "Mother is so old, she has to work hard for the family, and her daughter-in-law is really unfilial." ”

Old Madam Zheng sighed, and finally closed her eyes to admonish.

"If you are calm enough, your mind is as bright as Lunming, or you can be an idle and rich person, you must remember that when there is a big gap between ambition and ability, my Zheng family will come to an end."

The Zheng family was silent.

What can they do?

Even if their Zheng family used to be the brightest star in the sky.

But after many years, when the light fades, it is no different from ordinary stubborn stones.

Even the dynasty will change in the long river of years, let alone their Zheng family?

——The so-called family is actually an inconspicuous grain of sand in the long river of time.

……

The royal garden covers a very large area, and all kinds of scenery stand in it, or because of the scruples in their hearts, the girls do not dare to run around like headless flies, even if they dream of meeting that person, they can only make a breezy gesture on their faces.

Because the crown princess must be calm.

Because the mother of the nation must have the bearing of a great power.

Stepping into the royal gardens, if they make the slightest mistake, they will miss out on that position.

Rong Jin and Chen Yuntang walked side by side.

The waiting slave followed not far away.

They all had a good composure.

There was a-for-tat confrontation before, but at this moment, they are like sisters in the boudoir, walking together intimately.

After getting away from everyone, Chen Yuntang sighed faintly and said, "I thought that Zhao Yueqiu would be my biggest opponent, but who would have thought that she would not even pass the primary election. ”

"The world is impermanent."

Rong Jin glanced at her and said unhurriedly: "It's a pity, if Zhao Yueqiu is really here, you don't even have the qualifications to become her opponent." ”

"Sister Rong is trying to provoke me?"

Chen Yuntang sneered lightly, as if he had heard a big joke, and said disdainfully: "Zhao Yueqiu doesn't hold herself, she is in the company of lowly businessmen all day long, and she is dyed with the smell of copper. ”
