The general's farm on the outskirts of Beijing has been harvesting better and better over the years because of Xiang'er's hard work.

Xiang'er is not only talented in these things, but also not afraid of hard work, plus everyone knows that she is a confidant brought from Yangzhou by the general's wife, and they are willing to listen to him, so although it has been hard over the years, it has been smooth and smooth.

All the money she earned was invested in her daughter, and she didn't fall behind what she could give Yueyue, so Yueyue also became the eldest lady of the farm, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and completely inherited her beauty, so An Ge also chose her.

Before leaving, Xiang'er cleaned up her daughter's clothes and persuaded uneasily: "There is an old saying that a companion is like a tiger, don't try to stand out." It is best to be able to evade responsibility for everything and live a life in peace. ”

Yueyue didn't answer for a long time, just sat under the window in a daze.

Xiang'er was a little strange and looked up at her: "Yueyue, what's wrong?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

Yue Yue came back to her senses and muttered, "Mother, you said, let's go to Yiyuan this time, are we really just going to be palace maids for a month?" ”

Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Otherwise, what else can happen?" Madame said yes, that is. ”

Yue Yue laughed: "Aren't there many palace maids in the palace?" ”

Xiang'er said: "I have long heard from my wife that in order to save expenses, there are not many palace maids in the palace for a long time, and this time the emperor does not go to Yiyuan for state affairs, and most of the palace maids have to stay to serve the emperor. You don't have to be afraid, just go for a month. ”

Yue Yue shook her head: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's probably not for us to be palace maids." If you really choose a palace maid to serve, why choose someone like me who can't lift your shoulders and can't resist? And it's not just me, last time I secretly looked at the list of ladies, there were several high-ranking concubines in it. ”

Xiang'er smiled helplessly: "You, you are just thoughtful." We don't have anything to give the royal picture, can the royal family still harm us? ”

"I didn't mean to harm us, I suspect that Madame chose us this time to choose a concubine for the crown prince."

Xiang'er was stunned, walked up to her and said: "Yueyue, don't enter the royal palace, the royal palace is high and deep, as soon as you enter, my mother doesn't know if she can see you in this life." ”

Yue Yue smiled slightly, patted the back of her mother's hand, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I haven't seen the prince, and naturally I don't want to marry him, so I will avoid him when the time comes." ”

Xiang'er nodded and didn't say anything more.

She believed her daughter's words, because she knew that Yueyue had only one person in her heart since she was a child, and that was Er'er. Even if Er'er's identity is unattainable, he is still much better than the prince, at least he can be expected.

Xiang'er didn't have much ambition, just thinking that if Yueyue could be a concubine, the mother and daughter would be seen from time to time in the future.

The next day, the carriages in the palace went to the houses to pick up people. Not long after Yue Yue stood at the door, she saw a carriage slowly coming.

Before leaving, Xiang'er still explained uneasily: "Yueyue, you have to remember, you must not be strong......"

"I know my mother, I said it all, I have no interest in the prince at all, even if he really likes me, I deliberately pretend to be stupid and idiot, and I will never marry into the royal family."

Xiang'er sighed, still a little relieved, she opened her mouth to explain two more sentences, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind her: "Aunt Xiang'er rest assured, with me, no one will bully Yueyue." ”

Yueyue's eyes immediately lit up, she looked at the carriage, and immediately ran to the person happily: "Brother Er'er! ”

Xiang'er also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Young master, why are you here?" ”

Er Er replied: "The queen also invited me to go to Yiyuan with me, and I knew that Yueyue was going too, so I stopped by to pick her up." ”

Xiang'er was very pleased: "With the young master with you, the slave and maid are naturally relieved, but Yueyue, you must not cause trouble for the young master." ”

"Knowing Mother, when have I ever been in trouble? Mother, take care, Brother Er'er and I will go first. ”

With that, Yueyue helped Er'er's hand into the carriage.

Thinking that the carriage was only the two of them, Yueyue was excited for a while, but when she opened the curtain, she realized that there was still a man and a woman sitting in the carriage.

She knew the man, it was Xu Zhao, but the woman had never seen it.

Er Er also got into the carriage, sat down beside her, and took the initiative to introduce: "This is Ah Zhao's sister Xu Ning, this is my sister Yueyue." ”

Xu Ning smiled ambiguously at Er'er and quipped, "Sister? I've seen your only sister, I haven't seen this sister, is it your sister, or is it your little friend? ”

Yueyue's ears immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at anyone again. Er Er's face did not change, and said: "Yueyue grew up with me since she was a child, and she is no different from my own sister. Ning'er, don't make fun of me, otherwise I won't say good things to you when I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later. ”

Hearing him repeatedly emphasize the word "sister", Yueyue unconsciously clenched her hands.

Xu Ning is only one year younger than Er'er, and women are much more careful than men in this kind of thing, she noticed Yueyue's performance, and knew that things were not so simple, but she didn't make it clear, she only smiled: "Okay, good, I won't say it." ”

Er Er nodded, put on the big brother's style again, and said: "Before I left the house, my mother told me that although Yiyuan is big, most of it is lake and mountain scenery, and there are not many places where people can live. The two of you will be able to live together and take care of each other. ”

Xu Ning immediately agreed happily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you for you...... This sister's. ”

The carriage traveled all day before it arrived at Yiyuan, and it was already dark.

When they got out of the carriage, they saw a crowd gathered not far away, as if they were talking about something.

The one who came to pick up the four of them was the old acquaintance Yu Ganlin, and Er'er asked curiously: "Grandpa Yu, what are so many people doing over there?" ”

Yu Ganlin glanced over there and replied with a smile: "I'm looking at Lord Mingli." ”

"Lord Mingli?" Xu Ning immediately approached Father-in-law Yu and asked, "Is it the rumored No. 1 beauty in the capital, Lord Mingli?" I've heard that the princes of many other countries want to ask to marry the lord of Mingli, and the dowry is sent to the capital in piles, isn't it? ”

Yu Ganlin said with a smile: "The rumors are indeed true, but the women of my Dali royal family never marry outside, so those princes with deep love can only be sad." ”

Xu Ning rolled his eyes, seemed to understand something, glanced back at the two young men behind him, and said: "The emperor wants to marry the county lord of Mingli as soon as possible to cut off his idea of being a prince, so he asked the two of them to come to Yiyuan, and wanted to choose one of them to be the county horse, right?" ”

Yu Ganlin shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare to guess what the emperor means." ”

Xu Ning was sure that he had guessed so, and immediately pulled Xu Zhao and said, "Brother, let's also go and see the first beauty, and see if it deserves this reputation." ”
