"If you have anything to say, just say it, what else is embarrassing with me." Mo Li smiled.

"Princess, do you remember...... Chen Kang Gongzi. It took Murong Wan a long time to hold back a sentence, but her voice was as small as a mosquito, if it weren't for Mo Li's ear power, I am afraid she would not be able to hear what she said.

"Chen Kang......" Mo Li remembered that he was the general who swam in the lake together that day, it seems that Murong Wan has a mind about him!

"I haven't seen him since that day. How did Wan'er remember him? ”

Murong Wan raised her head slightly, and immediately lowered her head again: "He...... The trustee brought a letter...... Give me. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Mo Li was not polite, he opened it directly, and he didn't say anything on the letter, just a few words, all of which were normal greetings, and there was no overstepping. But the letter itself is intriguing, the two only met by chance, and there was no intersection after that, this letter is obviously tentative. It seems that this Chen Kang has a good impression of Murong Wan.

Mo Li pursed her lips, she really wanted to laugh, but seeing Murong Wan's shy look, she couldn't bear to laugh at her. So he coughed lightly twice and said, "What does Wan'er think?" ”

"I ...... I do not know. Murong Wan's face turned even redder.

"Does Aunt Zhao know about this?"

Murong Wan didn't speak, just nodded.

It seems that the mother and daughter should be quite satisfied with Chen Kang, so Murong Wan came today to ask her opinion.

Mo Li unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning: "Why has it been more than ten days since the date on this letter?" ”

Now that it's almost July, the letter is signed in mid-June.

"I've always ...... I'm embarrassed to say. ”

"Auntie also knows, right?"

"Well, I told her last night. She said that she would ask the princess. ”

Mo Li shook his head and sighed: "What's so embarrassing, if you think he's okay, just write back to him, don't say anything else, just thank him for his greetings." If you don't reply for so long, people can't be unhappy with you! ”

"That'...... I'll go back now, and still ...... Is it in time? Murong Wan was a little anxious when she heard this, she couldn't care about being shy, raised her head and looked at Mo Li and asked.

Mo Li smiled: "It's too late, if you are interested in him, write a reply, and I'll send someone to transfer it to him when I get back." ”

"Well, thank you, princess." Murong Wan didn't stay long, got up and said goodbye and went back to write a letter.

Murong Wan delivered the letter the next morning, and Mo Li waited until Murong Chu came back, gave the letter to Eleven, and told him to hand it over to Chen Kang himself.

Two days later, Eleven brought back Chen Kang's letter, but this time the letter was addressed to Mo Li. It probably means that he has discussed with his mother and is ready to come to the door in a few days to propose marriage, thanking the general's wife Yunyun.

Mo Li was full of joy, and it was another beautiful marriage. She has inquired in the past two days, Chen Kang has a good reputation in the army, although he doesn't talk much, he is also a hard-working person. The family is simple, one sister has long been married, and now it is only him and his mother. His mother came from a scholarly family, and she was also humble and polite. Presumably Murong Wan married in the past, and her mother-in-law would not make it difficult for her.

The Lu family doesn't know about this matter for the time being, but if the Chen family really comes to the door to propose, as long as Murong Wan's mother and daughter nod and agree, she has no reason to stop it.

Just when everyone was waiting for the Chen family to come and propose, as the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion said before, the emperor issued a holy decree and planned a draft at the end of August. All the concubines of officials above the sixth rank who are between the ages of 14 and 17 are among the candidates, as long as they are not married.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Beining Palace, and there were no concubines in the palace, but who would have thought that after the list of candidates was announced, Murong Wan's name was impressively listed.

Hearing the news, Murong Wan was shocked. Aunt Zhao was also panicked, and hurriedly calmed a few words, and then went to Moyuan Pavilion to find Mo Li.

Coincidentally, Mo Li was not in the house, and Aunt Zhao could only tell Mama He about it. Mama He frowned slightly and said, "It's not that a concubine can't be a show girl, but she has to be screened." ”

Aunt Zhao didn't understand what it meant, and Mama He explained again, and she realized that the daughters of officials above the sixth grade directly participated in the election as show girls, and if the concubines were interested in running, they could go to the Internal Affairs Office to sign up. After the selection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is possible to decide whether to enter the list of candidates, and the same is true for the daughters of officials below the sixth rank.

"Yes...... However, we didn't go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sign up! Aunt Zhao panicked.

"Is it the prince, or someone else in the house?" Mama He reminded.

Aunt Zhao was in a trance for a moment, seemed to understand something, hurriedly thanked her, and stumbled away.

By the time Mo Li returned home in the afternoon, the truth had been revealed. The holy decree was issued to draft a draft girl, and the Lu family went to the Internal Affairs Office to report Murong Wan's name.

Her reason is very simple, although Murong Wan is a concubine, but after all, she is the concubine of the Beining Palace, if she can really enter the palace and be a mother, whether it is for the Beining Palace, or Murong Wan herself, it will be of great benefit.

Now that Murong Wan is already a show girl, no matter what she says, she can't get it back. Mo Li hurriedly and quietly sent someone to inform Chen Kang, the previous matter could not be mentioned again, who would dare to rob a woman with the emperor.

Fortunately, this matter did not spread in the Bac Ninh Palace, except for Aunt Zhao's mother and daughter, that is, Mo Li and Murong Chu, as well as a few people around Mo Li. Mo Li immediately issued a gag order, even if this article is revealed, no one is allowed to mention it in the future.

That night, Mo Li told Murong Chu about it.

He just sank his face slightly and said, "The matter has come to this point, and there is only one way to go." ”

Now not only can you not repent, but you also have to look at people, in case you find a short-sighted, it is also a crime of deception.

"If I lose the election, can I still marry someone else?" Mo Li asked.

Murong Chu hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "All the show girls are going to enter the palace, but a few people will be selected as concubines in the middle of the term, and the others can only be female officials or palace maids." If you haven't been pampered at the age of twenty-five, you can leave the palace. ”

"Huh!? To be twenty-five? Mo Li exclaimed. It's not that she's making a fuss, if you put it in modern times, not to mention a twenty-five-year-old girl, even if it's thirty, it's nothing. But now it's ancient times, and after the age of twenty, she can be regarded as an old girl, let alone twenty-five, who else can she marry besides giving people a new string? Isn't this life ruined?

"So, if you want her to have a good future, you have to let her choose." There was also some helplessness in Murong Chu's tone. Although he has no feelings for the three younger brothers and sisters, he still feels a little sorry for this kind of thing.

He knows Chen Kang's character, and it is a blessing to be able to marry such a person, but it is a pity that Murong Wan is not a blessed person.
