Thinking about this, Zhang Dehui took the opportunity to change tea and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going to rest tonight?" ”

"Don't you see that there are so many twists and turns that have not been approved?" The emperor raised his chin, pointed to the stack of folds on the dragon book case, thought for a moment and said, "Go and tell the queen that I will go to see her tomorrow." ”

Zhang Dehui didn't dare to say more, so he answered and went out to spread the word.

When he went out, the emperor's eyes glanced at the painting scroll on the side table, and his thin lips were slightly hooked. It's not that he doesn't like it, it's just that he doesn't want Zhang Dehui to see it, and he doesn't want to let people probe his mind too early.

After two days, it was finally time for the last saint, and the thirty show girls were divided into five groups, and each group of six people was brought into the temple in order.

Above the main hall, the emperor sits in the middle, and the queen mother and queen are on both sides.

Murong Wan was brought in by the third group, entered the hall, made a big salute, and the six people lined up. All eyes look at the nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart.

"Look up." A deep voice came. The six girls all raised their heads slightly, but they didn't dare to look at the three people above.

The emperor's gaze swept over everyone's faces, although he didn't stay long, he remembered the pale crimson figure on the right in his heart, and it was as beautiful and gentle as the person on the statue. When I was the crown prince, I went to the palace of the king of Bac Ninh a few times, and I also saw the concubine of the king of Bac Ninh, but she was a timid little girl at that time, and she didn't want to be like this now.

Murong Wan has been nourished all day long since she was elected as a show girl, and now her body has grown a little longer, and her skin is as tender as jade. Unlike other show girls, she didn't do too much embellishment, only a hosta with a pearl pendant was inserted in her bun, and only a pair of pearl earrings were on her earlobes.

The pale crimson silk dress is tied with a gold silk auspicious cloud belt, which looks like a willow waist is not in a hand. His hands are clasped in front of his abdomen, and the fingertips exposed in the wide sleeves are shiny pale pink.

Under the prompting of the palace people, the six show girls reported to their homes in turn. The queen mother asked a few words, it was nothing more than what kind of talent she had, but she was good at being a woman and so on, and everyone answered seriously and respectfully.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the six were taken out.

It was already afternoon after the end of the five groups of show girls, and the holy decree was issued, and six people were selected into the harem this time, and Murong Wan was impressively listed. At the same time, the daughter of the new prime minister, Feng, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, Qin, and the other three are also the daughters of the third-rank and above, and although Murong Wan was born in the palace, she is the only concubine among the six.

Feng and Qin were named Zhaoyuan, and Murong Wan was named Xiurong, although they were both second-class with Feng and Qin, they were two levels worse in rank. In terms of family background, Murong Wan is naturally no worse than those two, but both of them are concubines in the house. Murong Wan felt that maybe because of this, she would be a little lower.

The remaining three were named Jieyu and Beauty respectively. The twenty-four who were unsuccessful all stayed in the palace and became female officials.

Everyone kowtowed and thanked them, and the thirty beauties had different expressions, some were happy, some were sad, and some of them cried on the spot.

Murong Wan has no sorrow or joy, this is the result she wants, but it is not.

The holy decrees selected for the harem were soon divided into six families, and with them came rich rewards. The people of the Beining Royal Mansion were naturally relieved, Murong Wan had already entered the harem, and how far she could go in the future depended on her own creation.

……

The autumn wind was whisking, the branches were slightly frosty, and Xu Minglang returned to the capital from Suikou. Looking at the gradually approaching city gate, I can't help but sigh, this walk is more than half a year, and now the maple forests outside the city are already red frost.

Back in Linglong Pavilion, Xu Ermao pounced happily: "Minglang, you're finally back, I miss you to death!" ”

"I still don't look stable in a long shirt." Xu Minglang slapped him on the shoulder twice, although his mouth was teaching him a lesson, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes.

"Bright...... Hurry up and rest in the back. Xu Dazhuang was also dressed in a long shirt, dressed as a steward, and still had a simple smile on his face.

When I arrived in the backyard, someone had already prepared hot water, Xu Minglang washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then came to the main house.

I saw that food, food, and wine were already on the table. Xu Ermao beckoned: "Sit down, see how much my brother loves you, and book a table in Quanwei Building in advance." ”

Xu Minglang blocked Xu Ermao's hand that was about to pour wine: "Don't drink the wine first, I have to go and talk back to the eldest lady when I go back." ”

"That's also done, let's replace the wine with tea first, and then let's have a good drink in the evening, and we won't get drunk." Xu Ermao nodded, don't look at his usual slippery, as long as he mentions the eldest lady, he will immediately become serious.

"How is the eldest lady doing?" Xu Minglang took a sip of tea and asked.

"A while ago, I was busy with Miss Murong of the Beining Palace's entry into the palace, and I didn't come to Linglong Pavilion much." Xu Dazhuang remembered the Murong Wan he had seen in Zhuangzi, and in his impression that she was a little girl, and she entered the palace as a concubine in a blink of an eye.

"I heard on the road that Miss Murong was sealed and retouched?"

"It seems to be such a name, I heard that it is still a second grade." Xu Ermao waved his hand, "We don't know what to look like, we're all concubines anyway." The eldest lady took a lot of good things from the shop and gave her a lot of good things, and she didn't know why she was so good to her. ”

Xu Minglang raised his eyes and glanced at him: "After following the eldest lady for so long, why are you still so confused?" If you are sincere to the eldest lady, she will protect you with all her heart. What did we think we were like? What does it look like now? ”

"Yes, that's right." Xu Dazhuang continued, "That time I met an assassin in Longfu Mountain, and the eldest lady refused to leave us alone. I'm afraid there are not many such masters in the world. ”

"Therefore, our brothers can have today, all of them rely on the eldest lady. If there was no eldest lady, we would have been cut down as thieves a long time ago, how could we still be rich today. Xu Minglang looked at the two brothers and said, "Our brothers' lives are given by the eldest lady, and no matter what happens in the future, we can't betray the eldest lady." ”

Mo Li, who was reading the letter under the flower stand in the courtyard of Moyuan Pavilion, sneezed twice for no reason, and Danyu hurriedly took a dress and put it on her: "It's cold in autumn, Miss has to pay attention." What if I get a chill? Uncle should be distressed again. ”

Mo Li glanced at her and said, "You are getting more and more nagging now, be careful not to get married." ”

"If you can't get married, you won't marry, and you'll wait for Miss for the rest of your life." Danyu's face is getting thicker and thicker now, and he said nonchalantly.

"That's not good, you can't nag me around me for a lifetime, and you can't annoy me to death." Mo Li folded the letter and held it in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Go and invite Aunt Zhao over, and let her come and help me draw a pattern." ”

Danyu answered the call to find someone, and Mo Li put the clothes he was wearing on the rattan chair casually, got up and went back to the main house.
