Today's Eternal Night Palace is really lively. In the country of eternal night, the emperor's relatives and officials above the third grade, and the unmarried daughters of the fifteenth year old in the family, all sent their little daughters to the palace in a sedan chair to participate in the banquet of ten thousand flowers.

These officials all tacitly thought that if their daughter could enter the eyes of the Prince of Eternal Night and the other two princes, the family would be able to enjoy endless glory from now on. Yuzan looked at the bustling front, and Fang asked An Ge in a low voice: "Remember my words, when you go to the palace, or when you meet other people, call me cousin." ”

"Got it."

Yuzan felt satisfied, so he took An Ge and walked in from the palace wall. When the officials on the side saw Yu Zhan, they stepped forward to salute and say hello, but Yu Zhan only bowed his head lightly.

Those officials couldn't help but be curious when they saw Yuzan followed by a stunning girl. One of the bold officials cautiously came over and asked, "Lord Yan, which of the prince's relatives is this girl?" ”

Yuzan told him lightly: "She is the cousin of this king's uncle." This time I entered the palace, and I also came to participate in the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet. ”

The officials all let out an "oh" in their mouths. Their daughters also got out of the carriage at this moment, and when they heard that the person who was talking in front of them was Yanwang Yuzan, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts, forgot to be reserved, and ran to Yuzan and saluted him.

Yuzan ordered them to get up, and said to the officials, "This king has gone in first." Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free to do so. With that, he took An Ge into the palace.

When those officials saw King Yan leave, Fang turned their heads and turned their ears. One of the Tsing Yi officials said: "Although King Yan is not the crown prince, in terms of power, he is the biggest." ”

Another green-robed official followed suit: "Yes." The prince lived deep in the palace and almost didn't ask about the court. It is this Yan King, who has a heavy army in his hands. Once he covets it, it will be very disadvantageous to the prince! ”

The Tsing Yi official shook his head and smiled: "But the emperor has always ruled the country with benevolence. I heard that the crown prince and King Yan and King Han also got along very well. Those usurpations and rebellions in the previous dynasty will not happen in this dynasty. ”

The green-robed official also laughed: "That's all I said." But he still frowned, "But in the end, the crown prince and the two princes were not born of the same mother." Do you remember the witchcraft that happened in the former palace? ”

The Tsing Yi official lowered his throat: "Remember, why don't you remember?" Concubine Yun, who used to be loved in all kinds of ways, was thrown into the cold palace overnight because of this witch curse! ”

While the two were talking, they saw a minister in a red robe approaching, and all the officials saw it and saluted him. This person was Yao Jing, the prime minister of the eternal night, so he twisted his beard and smiled: "Adults don't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”

The official in Tsing Yi was originally a person of good deeds, and when he saw this banquet of ten thousand flowers for the unmarried eunuch woman of the eternal night, he also alarmed Yao Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty. I couldn't help asking: "Prime Minister, could it be that you also have a daughter at home, and you have also been invited by the emperor?" ”

Yao Jing smiled faintly and said, "My wife and I have no daughters under our knees, only a daughter." Now, she's seventeen. ”

Those officials are speculating in their hearts: Yao Jing is a great Confucian in the eternal night, and he is a high-powered prime minister. Thinking of his daughter, no matter how popular she looks, the emperor and queen will never slack off.

At this time, Yao Jing's daughter Yao Lingyu also got out of the car and slowly walked behind her father. Those officials secretly commented in their hearts: Although Yao Jing's daughter is slightly inferior to the girl brought by King Yan, it is not much worse. Compared with the two, they both felt that their daughter's chances of winning were a few points less.

Emperor Yongye issued a holy decree and ordered the emperor's relatives and the daughters of officials above the third rank to go to Ronghua Hall to wait. After a while, the Queen of Eternal Night brought the crown prince, King Yan and King Han to the Furong Palace, which was close to the Ronghua Palace, set up a banquet, and ordered the young ladies to sit down and present their talents one by one.

Before going to Ronghua Palace, Yuzan had taken An Ge to the Empress Dowager's palace first. The Queen Mother is old, and her eyes are slightly glazed. I was very happy to learn that my most beloved grandson had entered the palace.

Yuzan took An Ge into Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother was hazy, and when she saw a girl following Yuzan closely, she smiled: "Zhan'er, where did you bring the girl from?" Tell her to come forward and take a look at the mourners. ”

Yuzhan gestured to An Ge with his eyes. An Ge slowly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother of Eternal Night and greeted him softly. When the Empress Dowager of Eternal Night heard An Ge speak, she praised: "Zhan'er, this girl's voice is very good. As he spoke, he took An Ge's hand and looked at it carefully.

Yuzan saw that her grandmother liked An Ge, so she also smiled and asked, "Grandmother likes her?" ”

The Empress Dowager of Eternal Night laughed when she heard this: "I like it!" Although she only glanced at her a few times, the mourning family knew that she was a rare and complete person. Zhan'er, where did you get such a Peugeot girl? As he spoke, he let go of An Ge's hand. An Ge looked at the Queen Mother, and saw that she looked kind, without any majesty, and the tension in her heart was put down a little.

Yuzan replied with a smile: "Grandmother, this girl is my uncle's cousin, and she entered the palace this time to participate in the banquet of ten thousand flowers." ”

The Empress Dowager of Eternal Night nodded slowly: "This is really excellent. The mourners know your mother's thoughts. Obviously, he invited the eunuchs and ladies in the country to participate in the banquet of ten thousand flowers, showing the majesty of the heavenly family, but in fact, he was just choosing a concubine for the prince. According to the queen's meaning, she wants to take advantage of this ten thousand flowers banquet to choose a concubine and two good women for the prince. ”

Yuzan said: "The queen mother's thoughts, Zhan'er also knows." ”

The Queen Mother said again: "After going to the best three girls, it will be your turn and King Han for the rest." ”

Yuzan shook his head and smiled: "Zhan'er doesn't want to marry a wife yet." On the contrary, Zhan'er felt that she was living a good life alone. ”

The Empress Dowager of Eternal Night was quite unimpressed. said to Yuzan: "You are not small. He is also past the age of twenty. Since he is the prince who opened the government, how can he be single and not want to marry a wife? Yuzan was about to speak, but the Queen Mother said again, "Zhan'er, your mother concubine, after all, she entered the cold palace and died." Although he was later rehabilitated, your uncle's status was low. This cousin of yours, even if she can get into the eyes of the prince, she probably can't be the crown prince's concubine. ”

Yuzan heard the Queen Mother's words, and couldn't help but look at An Ge. An Ge's eyes just met Yu Zhan. Yu Zhan said: "If the prince takes a fancy to it, does he have to make Zhan'er's cousin the concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "Zhan'er, the mourning family doesn't understand." If this girl is so good, why don't you keep it for yourself? ”

Yu Chan avoided An Ge's gaze and said specciously: "This is the best, you always have to ask my brother to look at it first." After all, he is the East Palace. ”

The Queen Mother was silent. Liang Jiufang sighed: "I'm old, and I have lived in this Cining Palace for twenty years. There are many things I don't know. It would be very good if you did respect your brother in this way. The Queen Mother said to Yun Ange again: "Tell the mourning family, what is your name?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, my surname is Yun, and my name is An Ge."

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and muttered to her: "Oh, your surname is Yun too?" ”

Yuzan then interjected: "Old grandmother, since she is my uncle's cousin, why is she not surnamed Yun?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard Yuzan's words, she also turned her head and looked at him with a complicated expression. She took a sip of tea slowly, and Fang said again: "The mourning family is tired." The mourning family did not participate in this feast of ten thousand flowers. When you see the Queen, you convey what I mean. ”

Yu Zhan said to the Queen Mother: "Zhan'er knows." After that, he motioned for An Ge to salute, and Fang Hao took her out of Cining Palace. Just as An Ge was saluting, the Queen Mother cheered up again and faced her: "Although it is the first time we have met, the mourning family likes you very much when they see you." You also talked to the mourning family for a while, and you can't be told to go back empty-handed. ”

As the Queen Mother spoke, she ordered an elderly grandmother to come over and whispered to her. The grandmother smiled at An Ge and said, "The girl is so blessed." ”

After a while, the grandmother entered the inner room, and after a while, she came out again, still holding a jade ruyi in her hand. When An Ge saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The Queen Mother said: "This jade Ruyi will be given to you by the mourning family." ”

Seeing that An Ge was still hesitating, Yuzan said for her: "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness." After listening to Yu Zhan's words, An Ge came back to his senses, took Yu Ruyi, and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Miss Yun, take good care of it." As the Queen Mother spoke, she ordered her grandmother to help herself, and she just went behind the screen.

When Yuzan saw it, he said to An Ge: "I forgot that this time is the time for the Queen Mother to devote herself to worshiping the Buddha. Let's go! ”

An Singer held Yu Ruyi in his hand and hesitated at Yu Zhan: "It's inconvenient for me to take this Ruyi to the banquet." ”

Yuzan took the Ruyi in her hand: "You just give it to me." Thinking about it, he instructed, "You have successfully attracted the attention of the Queen Mother." When the prince comes, you have to get his attention even more. Come to think of it, it is not difficult to attract the attention of the prince. Yun Ange, do you know that there are only ten of these jade ruyi in the Queen Mother's palace. She only saw you once, and then she offered you something so precious. ”

Yuzan and An Ge didn't know that the Queen Mother entered the palace and sat on the couch, but she was not tired.

The grandmother came over again and lit a bunch of sandalwood in the purple gold furnace. The Queen Mother closed her eyes, rolled the Buddha beads in her hand, and sighed to the grandmother: "You also saw the girl brought by King Yan today." ”

The old lady lit the incense and smiled: "What does the Queen Mother want to say?" ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "King Yan said that the girl surnamed Yun is his uncle's cousin, can you believe it?" ”

The old lady asked, "Is the Queen Mother credible?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled slowly and shook her head: "That girl, although she tries her best to dress up ordinary, but when she stands in front of me, her demeanor can't be covered up at all, where does she look like a down-and-out young lady?" ”

"Listening to the Queen Mother say this, it is so. When I saw her just now, I was hesitant. If she is not the cousin of King Yan, what should she be? ”

"Mo Ju, let's look down."

At this time, Yu Zhan had already sent Yu Ruyi into the worship room and put it away first. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, An Ge followed the ladies who entered the palace to Ronghua Palace.
