Later, he remembered that the ceremony of the queen and the queen mother had not yet been officially carried out, and it also took a lot of effort to prepare, so Shang and Zhou could save and save everything, and keep everything simple, and focus on the later rituals, and only deal with the most important places.

Similar to sorting out the list of show girls, as well as choosing the time to enter the palace on an auspicious day, the Ministry of Rites Shangshang Zhou was all on the fold, and it was clearly sent to Murong Lin's hand.

Murong Lin was not in a good mood because of Qian Sen's complaint in front of Murong Yu, but Shang Zhou was still moving so fast, and he seemed to be suspected of wanting to work with Qian Sen, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to vent his anger against Qian Sen on Shang Zhou's twists and turns.

However, Murong Lin's mind was still sober, and there was also a four-book next to him to carry it for him, so he quickly came back to his senses, so that he would not make such a ridiculous and outrageous comment on the old minister's recital.

Because he was in a bad mood, Murong Lin didn't read the content on the fold carefully, and only casually wrote the word "read" at the end. Shang Zhou didn't know what Murong Lin's mind was, he just thought that he was very satisfied with his arrangement, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and the ceremony would be officially carried out in a few days.

The general draft ceremony should invite the show girls to the palace, let Murong Lin see each other one by one, and then after the training of various upbringing grandmothers in the palace, select the last excellent and moral beauty to stay.

But who let Murong Lin mean that everything is simple, the Ministry of Rites had to omit all the procedures for looking at each other and teaching, arranged a few extraordinarily luxurious carriages, and chose those who needed to be pacified and at home. The show girls who have made a lot of contributions and are willing to enter the palace get on the bus.

Sitting in such a beautiful carriage, driving from the bustling street all the way to the gate of the palace, such a huge momentum is exactly what many women in the capital are looking forward to, and there are naturally not a few people who want to attack. Then Murong Lin introduced the words that the treasury was not full and could not afford to support so many idlers, and the number of carriages was reduced again and again, until in the end, there were only about five women, less than the whole number of women entering the palace, which was contrary to the concept that Shangshang Zhou of the Ministry of Rites originally planned to let twelve young ladies enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of school-age women in the court, are you sure you don't want to take a good look at it anymore, only choose five people, this is indeed too little." Shang Zhou touched the back of his head in embarrassment, thinking that it was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he had prepared such a thing.

"I have already compromised with you and promised to choose people to enter the palace, what do you do and still have to be so verbose, do you really think that I am the rich man in that place, and I can raise as many people as I want? Now that the treasury is empty, there is nothing you can do, otherwise you have chosen the candidate, and you will take care of me? ”

Murong Lin looked at the five empty and beautiful carriages in front of him, and at the same time spared no effort to joke with Shang Zhou, today's disposal was indeed deliberately arranged by him, as for how many people in the court could understand what he meant, he didn't know.

"Your Majesty, don't joke with the old minister, the old minister is so old, but he really can't stand it." Shang Zhou sighed in his heart, he knew that Murong Lin would do such a thing, so it was better not to hold a draft ceremony. When such a ceremony is opened, I don't know how many people in the world will laugh at it.

"The auspicious time has arrived, and Wechen let these carriages go."

"Well," Murong Lin put his hands behind his back and nodded with a smile, "Remember, this candidate is a monk with more porridge and less porridge, and you don't have to ask a girl to get in the car when she is willing, just see which young lady has more people to protect, give priority." ”

"Yes." Shang Zhou agreed to this and turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly reacted that Murong Lin's words seemed to have a deep meaning, he hurriedly turned around, wanting to make it clear to Murong Lin, but Murong Lin had already embarked on the way back to the palace.

In desperation, Shang Zhou could only guess what Murong Lin meant, and went out to run errands.

Not long after, one of the five carriages stopped at the gate of Ji Haosheng's mansion, and Qian Sen took the initiative to pull Ji Haosheng and specially invited Shang Zhou over.

In the hall, Ji Xiaolan hid behind the looming screen, holding a handkerchief to cover her mouth with one hand, and the joy in her heart was almost overflowing.

Qian Sen and Ji Haosheng were smiling and drinking tea with Shang Zhou, Shang Zhou had already sensed Murong Lin's meaning, and when he saw the faces of these people again, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Ji Xiaolan in his heart.

"Lord Shang, you can be regarded as growing up watching Miss Ji since childhood, Miss Ji's mind should be clear to you, she has worked hard for so long in order to be able to successfully enter the palace, let's not disappoint her as uncles."

Qian Sen smiled and lifted the cup, sparing no effort to get close to Shang Zhou, and Shang Zhou also used the cup to block his eyes and the corners of his mouth, so as not to reveal his disdain for him.

"Lord Qian, this is a joke, if I remember correctly, Lord Ji should have moved here a few years ago. The old man is old and rarely communicates with young people, and today's meeting with Miss Ji is just a few times in his life. ”

"This, yes." Qian Sen's expression couldn't help but be embarrassed, and Ji Haosheng was also at a loss to agree, but when he was about to say something to explain, he was clumsy but couldn't say it.

Shang Zhou looked at Ji Haosheng's eager look, and Ji Xiaolan's concern for this place behind the screen, rolled his eyes, and slowed down his attitude again.

"However, since Miss Ji has such lofty ambitions, the old man doesn't mind satisfying her wish, I just hope that she can compete for herself, if she can really get His Majesty's favor, fly on the branches in the future, Miss Don't forget today's events."

"Yes, the little girl has always been grateful for her kindness, and the great kindness of the adults today is unforgettable." Hearing this, Qian Sen and Ji Haosheng were both happy, and Ji Xiaolan couldn't help but agree in advance.

"In this case, then the young lady will pack up and get ready to get in the car, and after staying in the palace for two days, His Majesty will naturally visit all the young ladies who have entered the palace one by one."

Shang Zhou stood up, glanced meaningfully at Ji Xiaolan behind the screen, and then brushed his sleeves and left. Ji Xiaolan was overjoyed in her heart, and after saying hello to Ji Haosheng and Qian Sen, she went back to the room and changed into the clothes she had prepared a long time ago.

This set of water-red dresses, almost red wedding dresses, looks extremely bright, Ji Xiaolan is delicate and delicate, and the lining is more delicate than flowers. Ji Haosheng was happy to see it, but he couldn't help but feel sad, and grabbed her hand.

"Xiaolan, the palace is no better than the outside, there are rules everywhere, you must remember to take care of yourself well, be careful everywhere, don't be so pampered like at home, endure everything you can, you can live a long and safe life in the palace, my father doesn't expect you to be rich and noble, and become the favorite concubine of the powerful side, but you must at least save your life, only life is the most important, you know."

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, my daughter understands this meaning, she should be bitter first and then sweet, and she is self-alert." Although Ji Xiaolan still disliked what Ji Haosheng said was too unambitious, it was also the concern of her family, so she obediently agreed.

After a few more words, Ji Haosheng, the old father, had to watch his daughter get into the carriage. In order for their family to come up with a candidate who could enter the palace, the generations around Ji Haosheng's house became more lively, and the people who rushed to see how gorgeous the legendary carriage to welcome the harem was, and at the same time, Mo Hua was also wearing a black cloak, hiding in the crowd and observing.

Welcoming the newlyweds into the palace and dressing up their carriages beautifully don't seem to have much to do with each other, but just for the sake of royal decency. However, Mo Hua looked at it and felt that things were not so simple, Murong Lin was not a person who could be seen through at a glance so easily, and there must be other meanings in this.

Thinking about it, Mo Hua quietly lowered the hat of the cloak a little more, just hoping that after Ji Xiaolan entered the palace safely, she could really get what she wanted.

The newcomer's entry into the palace went very smoothly, and among the five candidates, only Ji Xiaolan had the highest status, and of course, she should be the first to do so.

"Hmph, just these crooked melons and cracked dates, you also want to fight with me." After Ji Xiaolan learned about the situation in the palace from the magpie, she couldn't help but sneer, while dressing up, she didn't forget to dislike others.

"Miss is still careful, these people from small households, although they are not as good as us, but they also have a lot of means, Miss went to bed on the first day today, they must have a lot of grudges, Miss still don't underestimate them too much."

At this time, it was already dark outside, but Ji Xiaolan's palace was full of candles, as if it were day. Ji Xiaolan withdrew from her jewelry clothes. Changing into extraordinarily delicate pajamas, she scattered her green hair, and seeing that it was becoming more and more bright and moving, the magpie stood behind her, combing her hair in the vanity mirror.

"How can you grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, they are powerful, is Miss Ben still afraid that they will not succeed?" Even the queen has been quietly solved by me, and I put in mind how to use these shrimp soldiers and crabs.

Ji Xiaolan pursed her lips proudly, but before she could say anything more to the magpie, the voice of the eunuch came from outside, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Ji Xiaolan was startled at first, then reacted quickly, quickly checked her decoration in the mirror again, and hurriedly led the magpie out to pick it up.

"Concubine Ji Xiaolan, welcome Your Majesty, I am fortunate to see the face of heaven, and the concubine is extremely happy."
