An Ge looked at Yuzan and nodded slightly at him, signaling him to rest assured.

Yuzan smiled at her, but her heart was complicated. In a cluster of flowers, Du'an Ge does not apply powder, but it still radiates dazzling light. For a moment, Yuzan's heart was a little regretful. He shouldn't have brought her into the palace so recklessly, there seemed to be another sheath between her and him......

Seeing Yuzan on the side, Yu Jun was deep in thought, and couldn't help reminding: "What's wrong?" Second brother! Have you been absent-minded ever since you entered this temple? Look at the wine in your glass, it's almost spilled all over the floor! ”

Yu Jun's words really brought Yu Chan back to his senses, he put the wine glass in his hand, calmed his mind, and said to Yu Jun: "Where am I absent-minded? You don't know, although I am here, I am thinking about the border fortifications! ”

Yujun couldn't help but pout, teasing and chuckling: "Really? I thought that which woman in this temple was your sweetheart, second brother? ”

Yuzan then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "You are too careful." When have you seen me in the affairs of men and women? ”

Yu Jun sneered in his heart, and drank the wine with Yu Zhan.

I don't want the queen to hear the conversation between his two brothers. The queen raised her eyebrows and tapped at Yu Zhan: "Zhan'er, you are really hard." I often told your father that among the three children, you are the hardest worker. You are a good helper of your father, and you really work harder than the crown prince. However, one day, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and the power will be in one hand, and you will not have to be so tired if you release the power! ”

Yuzan understood what the queen meant, and replied quietly: "Now my father's health is not very healthy, so my son is willing to suffer like this." Without him, the sons and daughters are only willing to share their father's worries! ”

The queen's face couldn't help but change. The face of Yu Zhan in front of him has been transformed into the face of Concubine Yun in the cold palace that day. In Yuzan's words, there is clearly a meaning of opposing her. Although Concubine Yun's matter was suppressed by her in the end, she was suspicious and reopened the old case. That wouldn't be good.

The queen nodded: "Okay." You are a filial child. But you're not a prince after all. There are some things that need to be measured. ”

"Proportion is not measured, Erchen knows it."

The prince wanted to play a round again: "Queen Mother, the second brother has a country in his heart, how can it be bad?" ”

The queen was not happy in her heart, and asked coldly: "So, prince, can you have the country in your heart?" ”

Yu Jin replied with a smile: "In Erchen's heart, of course, there is eternal night. ”

"Good. I'll only be when you're in the East Palace, a plaything. If you inherit a noble crown and you are overwhelmed by its burden, it will not be good. If you don't want to be a prince, others may not want to do it. The Queen's words could not have been more obvious.

The prince smiled awkwardly at Yuzan: "Second brother, the queen mother is just angry, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

"Big brother, I know."

At that time, the hall had entered a number of calligraphy, painting, piano and chess masters in the eternal night. After saluting the queen, the crown prince, the king of Yan, and the king of Han, they entered the four rooms behind the palace. The girls who were divided into four rows also took advantage of the situation to follow their respective rooms, one by one, in front of the master, showing their talents.

It didn't take long for the results. The twelve top-notch girls were brought back to the palace by the eunuchs. The nearly 100 girls who were eliminated were all depressed when they saw that there was no hope of competition.

The Queen of the Eternal Night is very good at appeasing. She learned of the results and rewarded the girls. The girls accepted the gifts, knelt down to thank them, and reluctantly looked at Yu Jin, Yu Zhan, and Yu Jun, and retreated out of the palace one after another.

An Ge's calligraphy ranked first in the calligraphy group. She studied calligraphy with her father since she was a child, and she was quite accomplished, just writing a few words casually, and she was caught by the master who inspected her. Yao Lingyu was placed in the chess group and ranked second.

This time, Yao Lingyu and Yun Ange stood together, and they both felt nervous in their hearts.

Yun Ange looked at her and said in a low voice, "Sister Ling, congratulations." ”

Yao Lingyu's face was pale: "An Ge, I want to congratulate you." ”

Yao Lingyu is indispensable for participating in the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet. She was not envious of glory. But it is still a good thing to be able to see the people you admire again when you participate in the feast. However, even if she was in front of the hall now, her sweetheart's eyes still didn't turn to her at all, which inevitably made Yao Lingyu feel frustrated.

That was when he was a child, and it's been almost ten years, so he must have forgotten all about it. After all, he is the king of Yan who is high in the eternal night, and he is busy with every day. How can such a trivial matter be remembered?

She glanced at Yuzhan again, and his eyes did not look at her, but at the ...... beside her. Ango. This surprised her. However, if you think about it, you can understand that this Yun girl is the niece of Concubine Yun in the past, and it is not strange that he cares about her a little. It's just that the scorching gaze, staring at An Ge without blinking, really made Lingyu envious.

When she was five years old, Yuchan once saved her life. Since then, Yao Lingyu's heart has had Jade Chan in his heart. To say that I don't want to take this opportunity to be given to Yuzhan by the queen is a lie. Even if she can't be his concubine, as long as she stays by his side, she is willing. I have always hidden this in my heart and never told anyone. Before entering the palace, she burned incense and prayed at home, hoping that the Bodhisattva would understand her heart and help her go well.

The twelve girls who stood out knelt down in unison and thanked the queen again. The queen lifted her spirits, looked at the twelve girls, and looked carefully: "Sure enough, they are all excellent." ”

Yuzan saw that Yun Ange was really among them, and his hanging heart was put down. Among the twelve women, An Ge's dress is the most simple, followed by Yao Lingyu. Lingyu knows very well: on such occasions, luxury and heavy are only superfluous, and light and simple are the most refined.

An Ge's outfit aroused the interest of the empress. She pointed at An Ge and said slowly, "You, take a step forward." ”

Seeing that the queen's attention turned to herself, An Ge's heart was still pang.

"Raise your head and let Hongu Haosheng take a look at you."

An Ge had to raise her head slightly, her eyes flowed, and in an instant, she clearly saw a man standing beside the queen with an indifferent expression and a transcendent demeanor.

The man put down his glass and looked at her without blinking.

An Ge speculated: This man who seems to have no quarrel with the world is probably the Prince of Eternal Night.

Thinking about it, her eyes couldn't help but look at Yuzan again. Yuzhan turned a blind eye. Obviously, the battle was fierce in his heart, but he still had an expression on his face that was none of his business.

When the prince saw An Ge, he smiled at the queen and said, "This girl, the son really looks good." ”

The queen was overjoyed: "When Jin'er said this, the queen mother's heart was really happy." ”

"The reason why I look good is because this girl's description is exactly the same as the beauties in those ancient paintings in my collection." Yu Jin's words made the other girls standing in front of the hall can't help but show envy.

The queen was even more happy: "Jin'er, do you like this girl?" ”

Yuzan's heart, for some reason, became nervous for a while. He knew that Yu Jin was not very boastful. As soon as these words came out, he knew that he did have a good impression of An Ge in his heart.

The prince was a little shy: "Don't be wishful thinking on the queen mother, you always have to ask this girl's wishes." ”

The queen couldn't help but shake her head and smiled: "Jin'er, you are too sincere, we are the heavenly family, the women in this eternal night country, no matter which one you fancy is, it is their blessing." The queen was satisfied, and asked An Ge, "Where are you from?" What is it called? Who is in the family? ”

An Ge followed Yuzan's words and told the queen in detail.

The queen was amazed. I don't want this girl to be Concubine Yun's mother's family. Therefore, not only did not add a good feeling in my heart, but instead increased a lot of disgust. She frowned, stunned in her heart: as far as she knew, Concubine Yun didn't have any family at all. If so, they are all dead. On that day, she was resolute and resolute, leaving no trouble. How did this pop up for no reason? Could it be that Yao Jing's old man did not follow his will?

The queen pondered for a moment.

Needless to say, just because her surname is Yun, she must not be allowed to stay with the prince.

The queen was hoarse, looked at An Ge suspiciously, and said slowly: "Oh? In this way, you and King Yan are still cousins. The queen stared at Yuzan as she spoke.

"Mother, it is so."

"So, you sent your cousin to the palace?"

"After returning to my mother, it's not all there. It's just that when my uncle was alive, he was also a member of the three products. Besides, my cousin also received a holy order to attend the palace banquet at home. My uncle had died a long time ago, and my cousin was alone at home. So I took her back to the palace and took care of her in the morning and evening. Because she lived in Erchen's mansion, of course, Erchen escorted her all the way to the palace. ”

But the queen laughed dryly. "Good! Such a flower-like girl, you hide in the mansion, but you have no selfishness at all, but it is rare. It's just that the Yun family is already an old minister. Now it has also fallen. A person with such an identity can't match the prince. When the queen finished speaking, she asked An Ge to retreat into the column.

The prince was disappointed: "Queen Mother, why is this? Thinking that the Yun family is also the hero of the founding of the country. ”

Yu Zhan was even more nervous in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Yu Jin: "So, what does the eldest brother mean ......?"

The prince was a little anxious, and said implicitly: "Second brother, I think this cousin of yours is very good. ”

The queen was extremely displeased, and reminded loudly: "Prince, the choice of a concubine is a matter of national body, and you must not come in vain." The queen asked the girl in the column, "Which one is the daughter of the prime minister Yao Jing?" ”
