221. Su Ling's Unification Plan (4)
In fact, in the box that "Huang Yan" was carrying was a Gu worm. This Gu worm was actually part of Su Ling's unification plan.
Now the entire Five Wilderness and Eight Completions are in the spring season, and at this time, Mu Jinguo, Hu Jinguo, Nanzhao State and Zhongwei Kingdom will choose to draft to fill the harem of the monarchs of each country. Depending on the interval between countries, this year happens to be the year of all the drafts. So in this year, Su Ling planned to find four people like the draft girls from various countries to bring four Gu worms into the palace. It's just that there is no way to choose Xia Tianyan for this one who came to Mu Jinguo.
When Xia Tianyan first received this task, Xia Shiren was very worried.
"Yan'er, you have to do something on behalf of the king today, but to do this thing, you need to leave home thousands of miles to go to Mu Jin Kingdom, I don't know if you can accept it."
When I think of being thousands of miles away from home, I can't see my parents, and I have no one to rely on. Xia Tianyan immediately shook his head and said, "Yan'er can't do it." Father, why did you send Yan'er away so ruthlessly? "Xia Tianyan is the type who has been pampered since she was a child, because her mother has the means to get Xia Shiren's favor in the Xia family, so she has been the kind of eldest lady who is not afraid of heaven and earth since she was a child, and she can even be said to be rampant. This kind of temper naturally doesn't show itself in front of people, so Xia Shiren just turns a blind eye to what she doesn't show in front of her.
"Yan'er, my father doesn't want to." When he thought that the wife he liked was about to have no daughter, he felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of the departure of this daughter, but because of the person he was about to face after this daughter left.
"Then my father will talk to the emperor and ask Yan'er not to go." Xia Tianyan said coquettishly.
Xia Shiren was soft-hearted, but thinking of Su Ling's sternness, he immediately shook his head and said, "No." Yan'er, you have to go. Because you don't want to see a family lose their lives for you, do you? And when you go to Mu Jin Kingdom, you are going to participate in the draft, maybe you will be favored by the monarch of Mu Jin Kingdom, and then you will become a concubine in the harem, isn't this also a good thing? ”
Xia Tianyan's face, which was originally refused, turned cloudy to sunny when she heard that she was entering the palace as a concubine, and she immediately said happily: "Since this is the case, then the father can ask his daughter to go to Mu Jin Kingdom to perform any task." However, the daughter also hopes that the father can agree to a condition for the daughter. ”
Hearing Xia Tianyan's agreement, Xia Shiren's heart immediately fell. Don't say one condition at the moment, even if it's a hundred, he will agree. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Whatever Yan'er wants, my father will give it." ”
Xia Tianyan thought for a moment and said, "The daughter wants to ask her father for two treasures and a promise. ”
"Yan'er." Xia Shiren pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you just tell your father that it was just a condition, but at this moment, it has become a promise for two babies." ”
"Father!" Xia Tianyan said coquettishly, "Do you still care about these things? Just treat your daughter as if she was giving an opinion. ”
Xia Shiren laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you say it's one." So what kind of condition do you want to talk about now? ”
Looking at Xia Shiren's happy face, Xia Tianyan also said her conditions with confidence, she said: "Father, my daughter wants to ask you for a night pearl and a bag of gold nuggets." As for the promise, I hope that this errand is completed, and I can stay in the palace as a concubine, then let me be, don't let my daughter come back. ”
"Good, good." Xia Shiren agreed again and again, "Father has already prepared these things for you." Since you have proposed the nuggets, I will prepare you another bag in case you need them in the palace. Also, I want to give you one thing. ”
Hearing this, Xia Tianyan nodded happily and said, "Father, you just have to say, my daughter must remember." ”‘
Seeing that Xia Tianyan was willing to listen, Xia Shiren immediately said: "Since you are willing to listen, then my father hopes that you can remember that money can make ghosts grind, and when necessary, use gold nuggets, don't be reluctant." Of course, it doesn't mean that it is used all the time, but it should be used when it saves lives. When you are almost usable, ask the old woman who is with you to bring me the news, and I will send someone to bring it to you. ”
"Thank you, father!"
In this way, after Xia Shiren's "coaxing", Xia Tianyan came to Mu Jinguo and became "Huang Yan". However, Xia Tianyan didn't know anything about Huang Yan's identity and story. So now she's just a dummy who looks like Huang Yan.
After the final round of screening, all the show girls are only left with four floors. So when it came to the ugly time, all the selected show girls were sent directly to the prepared Cui Nuan Palace. Cui Nuan Palace is the largest palace in the entire Mujin King's Palace, this palace has ten large and small rooms, and the rooms are divided into three categories according to different levels. There are two first-class rooms, which can accommodate two people. According to the rules, it is reserved for the first two people after the draft, this room sits north and faces south, spacious and bright, with a main hall and a separate bedroom, and all the configurations in it are equipped according to the needs of the last women. There are two second-class rooms that can sleep up to eight people at a time. According to the rank, the second-class room is for the third to tenth places after the draft, and although the room is not large, it is bright enough, and it is equipped with a main hall, two separate cabinets for the eight show girls, and a separate door. There are seven third-class rooms, each of which can accommodate ten people, and it is the same bunk as the palace maid in the palace, and a box is placed at the foot. These seven houses are specially given to the show girls who have entered the palace audition.
"Huang Yan" was suddenly arranged to live with others, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. Of course, there were people in the entire show girl group who showed dissatisfaction before her.
"It's been the palace election in the middle of the night, why do you let us live here?" I don't know from which corner, "Huang Yan" heard someone ask loudly.
"Please forgive me." The leading female official said, "This is arranged according to the rules of the palace." Before the palace election, all show girls must stay in the Cui Nuan Palace, and they must all stay in this third-class room. So please don't embarrass the show girls. ”
"It's not embarrassing, it's just that we are all the daughters of officials above the fourth rank in the palace, and we are also everyone's ladies. How can you live in a room like this? Do you still sleep in the bunk like the palace maid? The man continued.
"This show girl, I don't know which talent you are the daughter of?" This is the female officer no longer takes the initiative to answer her question, but directly asks her identity.
"The daughter of Wang Hai, the governor of the Dongjiang River, Wang Jin."
"It turned out to be the daughter of Lord Wang's family." The female official smiled, and then continued: "Since she is the daughter of a second-rank official, there should be a special upbringing mother-in-law who is responsible for teaching the rules of the palace." Why didn't you teach that you need to live in this Cui Nuan Palace for one night after entering the palace election? ”
Wang Jin was speechless when asked.
The female official continued: "I wonder if Wang Xiunu can tell me which parent-in-law is responsible for going to Lord Wang's house to teach the rules?" After waiting for the palace election, the lower officials asked her for clarification. ”
At this time, Wang Jin didn't dare to speak. Because the upbringing mother-in-law who went to Wang's house didn't even enter the door, he dared to come back. The female officials in the palace all knew about this, so at this time, Wang Jin couldn't say the name of the nurturing mother-in-law, so naturally he didn't dare to answer. Because she didn't dare to answer, everyone was also frightened by the female official's momentum.
Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak, everyone obediently checked in according to the arrangement of the female officer. After arranging all the palace maids to rest, the female official went directly to Luo Ge's Zhaochun Palace.
In this draft, because the queen was grounded, Mrs. Qiu directly became a prisoner, and then she became Luo Ge's heavy responsibility. And this heavy responsibility was directly pressed down by the Queen Mother. Luo Ge could naturally guess the purpose of the Queen Mother - in order to make her feel the "fraternity" of the king. Luo Ge didn't pay too much attention to the queen's purpose, after all, she also hoped that Mu Ziqin could suppress the public opinion of hundreds of officials through this draft. So she naturally took this responsibility down.
Yun Lan, who didn't see anyone to report when she arrived, looked at Luo Ge, who was lying on the chaise longue and reading a book leisurely, and said anxiously: "Niangniang, if you don't go to rest first, when the time comes, the female official will come to report, and I will let her report directly to the dormitory." ”
Luo Ge shook his head and said, "Since the Queen Mother asked me to be in charge of this matter, then there is a purpose." You didn't see that the female officials in charge this time were all personally selected by the Queen Mother. So let's wait. ”
Jian Luoge is not in a hurry, and Yun Lan is not good at interjecting.
When it was ugly, when Yun Lan was already asleep on the side, she heard Wan Jinfeng's voice outside the door: "Niangniang, someone from Cuinuan Palace is here." ”
"Let her in."
"Whoa." Wan Jinfeng pushed the door open before he finished speaking.
The one who pushed the door in was the female official who was embarrassed by a kind of show girl just now, and after she came in, she immediately saluted and said, "Xiaguan Bai Ling has seen Concubine De Niangniang." ”
"Get up." Luo Ge put down the book in his hand, then sat on the main seat, and said, "Is it all arranged on the show girl's side?" ”
Bai Ling said: "Back to Niangniang, all of them have been arranged to stay in Cuinuan Palace." ”
"Are there any of the show girls who have taken the opportunity to make trouble recently?"
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment in the face of Luo Ge's question. She didn't expect that this lady in front of her knew so much about the things in the palace. Seeing that she didn't reply, Luo Ge asked again: "Is it that the daughter of an adult family is too fierce and makes you difficult to deal with?" ”
Bai Ling came back to her senses and immediately shook her head and denied: "No." It was the lower officials who didn't expect Niangniang to guess that someone was making trouble. ”
"The show girls who participated in the palace draft are all the daughters of officials above the fourth grade, so there must be people who are not satisfied with the current arrangements in the palace."
"Yes." Bai Ling naturally took Luo Ge's words, "One of the show girls surnamed Wang is particularly dissatisfied with the arrangements in the palace this time. ”
"But the daughter of Lord Wang, the governor of the Dongjiang River?"
"Yes."
This daughter of Lord Wang's family, Luo Ge has an impression. The first time she met her in the Dream Loop, her little actions betrayed her.
