Chapter 733: Eavesdropping, Born with a Phoenix!
"Wait a minute!"
Shao Wan turned around in astonishment, but saw that there was actually a grandmother under the shadow of the lamp on the side.
There was a table over there, and there was an old grandmother sitting behind the table, seeing that this age was much older than the previous grandmother, and because it happened to be under the shadow of the lamp, and Shao Wanru was flustered, she didn't notice it.
"Just remove the coat!" The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Shao Wanru and said gently.
"The other ......" The grandmother before was stunned for a moment, and said at a loss, she had never encountered such a thing.
"So be it!" The old lady said.
The mama in front didn't dare to say any more.
It's just that it's much easier to take off all the clothes, but even so, Shao Wanru still has a red face, and the mother who can listen to the inspection pressed a few times on her hands and legs, and asked a few more questions, and after she finished answering, after recording the results of the inspection, she nodded and asked her to retreat.
Putting on his coat again, Shao Wanru retreated outside, still feeling hot on his face, but fortunately it was just except for his coat.
"Fifth Miss!" A happy voice came from the front, Shao Wanru looked up, and then found that he had walked to a flower hall, where the young ladies who had checked before had gathered.
It was Zhang Qilan who spoke.
"Miss Zhang!" After calming down and calming down the blush on his face, Shao Wanru smiled and said, Zhang Qilan also lived in Yuhui Nunnery for a period of time that day, and the two of them were also very close during that time, and the relationship was very good.
Shao Wanru also admired Zhang Qilan's crisp and lively temperament.
"You're here too! Great, I was worried you wouldn't come! Zhang Qilan took Shao Wanru's hand and said affectionately, while pulling her to a pavilion on the edge of the flower hall to talk.
There were also two young ladies sitting together in the pavilion chatting in a low voice, and when they saw them coming, they bowed slightly to them in a friendly way.
The two men smiled at the two young ladies and sat down at the fence on the other side.
"I thought you were still keeping filial piety!" Zhang Qilan leaned over and said, stretched out her hand and pointed to the flower hall: "There are too many people there, it's better to be here!" β
Just because there were too many people, she deliberately came to the door to wait.
"The filial piety of parents has arrived in these two days!" Shao Wanru said softly, although there are still a few days, but basically I don't have to do it, after all, learning palace rules and etiquette is not a real draft, it is just the first level, getting rid of some unsuitable people, and the royal family also knows about it, and they recognize it if they don't say it.
Next, it's the key.
"That's great, I was bored at first, but it's good to have you here!" Zhang Qilan said happily, "Where do you live?" I'm empty, okay? β
"Okay, I'll be in the last room in the second row over there." Shao Wanru stretched out his hand and pointed in the general direction.
Zhang Qilan stood up, asked again in the direction of Shao Wanru's finger, then sat down again, nodded with a smile: "Great, I know, you see that we are actually quite close, I am not far from you, not far from you, just the first room in that direction, if you have time, you can also come and play with me." β
Zhang Qilan stretched out her right hand and pointed to it.
Shao Wanru looked at the direction and nodded, Zhang Qilan's father is Zhang Xiang, and it is naturally impossible for his daughter to live in the back and squeeze in with others, and it is inevitable that she will live not far from herself.
Originally, the daughter of the important minister's family lived closer to the other mansions, which was better.
"You...... That's fine, right? The two of them were very happy after reporting their positions, Zhang Qilan suddenly leaned over, pointed to the show girls who were still queuing with a red face, and said vaguely.
Shao Wan, who said this, thought of Fang Cai's own scene again, and his face flushed again, "It's okay!" β
"It's okay, it's better to go home early!" Zhang Qilan sighed and said helplessly.
"You don't want a draft?" Shao Wanru looked at Zhang Qilan sideways, Zhang Qilan also looked very good, beautiful and a little cute.
"I don't want to!" Zhang Qilan shook her head, she didn't like to come to the palace the most, she was bound everywhere, she was not free at all, every time she followed her mother into the palace, she felt uncomfortable.
"What did your father say?" Shao Wanru hesitated for a moment and asked.
"My father meant that I didn't necessarily choose either." Zhang Qilan lowered his voice and came to Shao Wanru's side, then looked left and right, and saw that the two young ladies were also talking in a low voice, and he didn't notice them, so he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your eldest sister will inevitably be selected, which palace will you go to?" β
"I don't know!" Shao Wanru shook his head quietly and said.
"Your eldest sister is so good, and she faintly says that your eldest sister is the first beauty, and if this first beauty doesn't enter the royal family, it will be difficult for her to fall into ordinary people's homes!" Zhang Qilan pursed her lips and said, she and Shao Yanru have met several times, and that Miss Shao does look dignified and decent, but it always makes her feel too fake.
It seems that this Miss Shao is perfect without a trace of flaws, in her brother's words, there are several women like Miss Shao who can compare with her talent in ancient times, not to mention that Miss Shao's identity is not extraordinary, and she is the kind of woman that the son of the family is most willing to marry.
"It's all out there?" Shao Wanru's heart moved and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, don't you know, everyone has been talking about it before, but in the past two days, I have said the most, and I also said that the reason why the Duchess of Xingguo went to Yuhui Nunnery was also to worship the Buddha for Miss Shao!" Zhang Qilan nodded.
Shao Wanru's face showed a hint of strangeness, she remembered that she had just heard the topic of the idle people outside in the carriage, and the momentum of the swarming crowd in front of Shao Yanru's carriage, if there was another Duchess of Xingguo to say that she would still wish, it would be really appropriate and accurate.
Wish, what is the wish at this time, I can't go and let my mother go up the mountain by illness, that is to say, this wish cannot be known.
can't let people know, and it's very important, if she didn't enter the palace when she entered the palace draft, there was news that Shao Yanru was bound to be selected, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly felt that she might know why Shao Yanru didn't enter any palace in the last life, but entered the palace.
If he is a courtier, his merits will be high, and he will inevitably be counterattacked; If she is a woman, for the royal children, she looks like she is ready to be caught, coupled with the power behind her, and the appearance of pushing her to the back seat, it is enough to cause the emperor's taboo.
The final answer is never known until the draft is announced.
Assessing the emperor's intentions without authorization, and looking well-deserved and sure, will not only make Longxin unhappy, but also affect the prince's identification.
The corners of her lips hooked slightly, Shao Yanru wanted to control this matter, but she didn't think about it, of course, there may be other people in this who are contributing to the trouble.
But no matter what, it is certain that Shao Yanru's trip to the palace will not be successful.
"The Duchess of Xingguo in your house really went to repay your vows for your eldest sister, what kind of vows did you go to repay, why didn't you say that it was a vow, but she didn't know what to say?" Seeing Shao Wan in a daze, Zhang Qilan reached out and grabbed her sleeve and shook it.
"I really don't know, it's true that the second aunt is not in good health!" Shao Wanru said with a wry smile, she didn't expect things to develop in this direction.
"Really sick?" Zhang Qilan didn't believe it.
"It's really sick!" Shao Wanru didn't hide it, other people don't know about this kind of thing, there are many people in this palace who know, after all, the accident of Concubine Shu was quite involved at that time, and people like Zhang Xiang inquired carefully, and they would definitely be able to find out.
"Alright! I really thought it was a natural phoenix! Zhang Qilan muttered, slackening, she thought there was something important insider, but it turned out that there was no insider, just hearsay from others.
"A natural phoenix?" Shao Wan was like a spirit, her eyes widened and she looked at Zhang Qilan almost stunned, she was sure that this news was definitely not from the Xingguo Mansion.
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Zhang Qilan, "You whisper." β
In fact, Shao Wanru's voice was already very soft.
Shao Wanru shook her head, signaling that she would be lighter, and Zhang Qilan came to Shao Wanru with sweat on her head, "I don't know if this is true, I also overheard it." β
"Where did you eavesdrop on?" Shao Wan asked puzzled.
"Actually, it's also a very occasional opportunity, before I followed my father to Huaguang Temple to listen to the scriptures, my father sent me out, I felt bored to play outside and came back, I was afraid that my father sent me again, I came back secretly, when I passed by the back of a meditation room, I happened to hear someone talking about it, in fact, I heard an ear, and I don't know if it's true or false."
"Talking to your father?" Shao Wanru asked.
"It's not my father, my father is still in a meditation room in front of it, and the meditation room is empty." Zhang Qilan said, "I didn't dare to listen to it more, but then I came out secretly and ran into my father, and my father also asked me not to talk nonsense, and said that I heard it wrong, and you can't say it now!" β
Zhang Qilan said, her voice became lower and lower, although she was more naΓ―ve, but she was not ignorant, this kind of innate phoenix life is not something that can be said casually, this is a matter that costs people's lives.
There is still a life in the phoenix, Shao Wanru's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, although Zhang Qilan said that she only heard it, but Shao Wanru believed that someone really said so.
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, the people inside don't speak highly, I faintly heard the words of the natural phoenix, the young lady of the Xingguo Mansion, and so on, and then I didn't dare to listen to it more." When Zhang Qilan talked about this, she still felt palpitations, and when she turned out from behind, she found that there were guards in front, but they were not guards in her own house.
"I heard that the presiding officer of Huaguang Temple is proficient in Buddhism, and he is very famous!" Shao Wan said thoughtfully.
"I don't know if it's true!" Zhang Qilan said disapprerovingly, stretched out her hand and pulled Shao Wanru and said, "You see that they are almost well, let's go back to the flower hall too!" β
Shao Wanru looked up at the team of few people and nodded.
By the time they returned to the flower hall, the grandmothers had already taken a roll call, divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.
