On June 6, the first Hexiu, the body is light, and the old clothes are removed.

The heat is in the dog days, after the summer solstice, it coincides with the small summer heat, and the whole ground is so hot that it is like turning over the skin. Even if you change into light clothes and walk around the street a little, you will feel sweaty, not to mention wearing layers of red wedding robes, just thinking about it makes your hair feel hot.

However, although the weather is hot, it is also a big day for the whole people to make a sensation. Legend has it that the sunshine on the sixth day of the sixth month of June is the most aura, as long as you take out the things at home to bask in the sun, you can naturally bring the aura back to the house.

People who fail to seek good luck in the New Year will deliberately take out their clothes at home today, so that the big sun will drive away all the bad luck, so that they can spend the second half of the year refreshed and peacefully. Those who have fields and land at home dry grains, those who have books at home dry books, monks dry scriptures, and the elderly dry their shrouds. In short, it is to collect all the sunshine on this day, and then reverently bathe and cleanse the body, wash away the bad luck and bad luck in the first half of the year, and pray for good luck in the second half of the year, or luck is always there.

Seeing that Youhan was almost going to turn out all the things in the house and dry them, Shaohua only felt that the day was a little too spicy, not to mention bad luck, and even his spirit was about to be sunburned. She deliberately asked people to move the Taishi chair under the eaves, reclining on the chair, Chu He shook a fan for her to provide air, ate the watermelon that was poured by the well water, and listened to the lively laughter outside, the whole person seemed a little lazy.

Ling repeatedly told her not to go out of Biwuxuan, she was not yet ten years old when Li Sijin got married, so she could still join in the fun with the adults. Now that it was about to end, Ling asked her not to show up at such a lively time. In fact, there is no need for Ling's advice, Shaohua doesn't want to move, in such a hot weather, who would want to run out and stay in the house to fan and eat fruit, what a pleasant thing.

What's more, she finally embroidered most of her purse, and was accidentally splashed with ink by herself. Although Chu He tried hard to help her clean it, she couldn't give away the tainted purse. She cried and mourned for a day in her purse, but in the end she didn't even bother to put the finishing touches, let alone pick up the needle and thread again.

"Second young lady Wanfu."

Shaohua was concentrating on feeding the koi, and when she heard that she was folding it behind her, she slowly turned around and saw Zhou Yan walking over in a lilac-colored skirt. Since Li Sinian and the day after they got married, when the bride gave tea to her husband's parents, she had seen Zhou Yan once, and she also felt that she was really different when she was a bride for the first time. The joy of her body, the charm and shyness between her eyebrows and eyes, and the affectionate vein when she looked at Li Sinian, made her almost suspect that the person in front of her was the lady of the Hou Mansion who came to drink her violently.

"It turned out to be the second sister-in-law, how can you have time to come to me today." Shaohua looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, only to see that when she heard the "second sister-in-law", her cheeks were fluttering, and she looked at her with shame and annoyance, Shaohua couldn't help laughing: "Why is the second sister-in-law's face so red, isn't it from the sun?" ”

"Okay, you Li Shaohua, teasing me is getting more and more skilled, right?" Zhou Yan asked the maids to step down, leaving her and Shaohua behind, and her tone had already revealed her true nature.

"How dare you, if I tease you, the second brother won't let me go." Shaohua laughed maliciously.

Although when Zhou Yan married into the Li family, Mrs. Zhongyi Hou was somewhat unhappy, but when Li Sinian accompanied Zhou Yan back to the door. Mrs. Zhongyi Hou praised everyone she met, and the more she looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied she became, but she was afraid that she would not let the world know that he was good. What she is most satisfied with is Li Sinian's thoughtfulness towards Zhou Yan, so she just had to walk with her in the palm of her hand. Ling said that Li Sinian knows how to be a man very well, which parents don't want their daughter to be loved by her husband's family after passing the door, Li Zhuoyue died early, Pang Zi was weak, Zhou Yan was wronged when she got married, if Li Sinian didn't treat her better, I was afraid that it would be possible for Zhongyi Hou to regret marriage.

But Li Sinian was chosen by Zhou Yan herself, and in their opinion, this son-in-law not only has a bright future, but also takes good care of his wife. Although his background is a little worse, he can still be promoted.

Zhou Yan pursed her lips, taking Shaohua's ridicule as jealousy, she knew that the more she refuted, the more she would be teased, anyway, she knew her husband's goodness.

"Okay, I won't talk about you. Didn't the second brother accompany you today? Shaohua asked curiously.

"You are your second brother is an idle nobleman, he naturally has his own business to do." The maintenance of her husband has reached the extreme, but when Zhou Yan reacted to Shaohua's smile, the flush that had just faded came to her face again, she awkwardly diverted her attention, looked at the purse on Shaohua's waist, and said in surprise: "This purse is well done, it's quite aura." ”

Shaohua immediately showed off proudly, "How is it, I'm amazing, right?" ”

"You embroidered it?" Zhou Yan obviously didn't believe it.

"I embroidered this flower!" Shaohua said unconvinced.

"I'm talking about this fish." Zhou Yan showed an expression of "no wonder it looks different".

Shaohua muttered, "Is my embroidery really so bad?" Shaohua didn't expect that Chu He would take out her dirty purse before, and the few ink blots that could not be washed away were hidden by Chu He with black threads, embroidered into two koi with black spots on a white background, and frolicked and played under the lotus leaves. Although it seems that the lotus flower is far less aura than the two koi, at least this purse is completed.

Zhou Yan nodded very seriously, "Your embroidery skills are not worse than your skills in playing the pipa." Finally seeing Shaohua deflated, Zhou Yan's heart balanced, suddenly put away her smile, and asked seriously: "I just came from Taiheyuan and saw that Qi Niang was also there." ”

"It's not unusual, she often runs to Taiheyuan." Shaohua turned around and continued to feed the goldfish.

Zhou Yan walked over, looked at the koi fish competing for food in the water, and said in a low voice: "She didn't go to ask for peace, but was called over by her grandfather to give a lecture." Shaohua's hand paused, raised his head, looked at Zhou Yan, and listened to her speak: "On the day I become a day, can you hear the sound of the piano?" ”

"It's noisy everywhere, how can I have so much mind to pay attention." Shaohua didn't care, and saw Zhou Yan pursing her lips, her expression was a little solemn, and she said curiously: "What's the matter, did you hear the sound of the piano?" ”

"It's not me who hears it, it's someone else who hears it." Zhou Yan shook her head. "When I came from Taiheyuan just now, I heard that the palace came to Yizhi, at the end of the month, the eldest princess and Lu, the palace will have a banquet for the maidess, and now the daughter of the unmarried minister of the right age is being selected to enter the palace. The post has been delivered, right there in Taiheyuan. ”

"You won't pick me, will you?" Shaohua pointed to his nose incredulously.

Zhou Yan sighed and nodded: "It's not just you, maybe all three of you will enter the palace." ”

"Three? Which three? Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Qi Niang is also going to enter the palace?" ”

"That's right, because it's none other than the prince who hears the sound of the piano." Zhou Yan watched Shaohua open his mouth exaggeratedly and explained his melancholy, "I heard that the song played that day was Queen Duanming's favorite song when she was alive, so the eldest prince listened and stood outside Biwuxuan for a whole stick of incense. Now it is rumored that the ladies of the Li family are all superb in the piano, I thought it was about you at first, but later I learned that it was Qi Niang. ”

"How did she know that tune?" No, how did she know that the eldest prince would come. It's not right, on such a hot day, even at night, it is still stuffy, where does Jinhua get the leisure and elegance to play the piano. "So letting Qi Niang enter the palace is also the meaning of the eldest prince?"

"I don't know about this, it's just that I just saw that my grandfather's face is not very good-looking, probably I don't want you to enter the palace. But Yi has made a decree, and he praises you for being Zhong Lingyu's talent. Grandfather was afraid that he would not be able to refuse, so he called Qi Niang for questioning. Zhou Yan didn't expect that the palace would let the three Shaohua sisters go to act as bridesmaids at the ceremony for the eldest daughter of the emperor.

The last time he chose a concubine for the second prince, Li Ge didn't want them to enter the palace, so as not to provoke right and wrong. This time, the imperial concubine took the lead and directly gave Yi Zhi, which caught them off guard, and there was no way to postpone it.

"What happens when you enter the palace?" Shaohua asked.

"I have seen more noble people, and I may not be able to be independent in marriage in the future." Zhou Yan's words are right in Shaohua's heart.

"Then I don't want to enter the palace." Shaohua shook his head decisively.

"This kind of thing can't help you, the daughter of the eldest princess and the imperial concubine, the sister of the second prince, this face is specially given to you. Of course, it won't be just the three of you, the daughters of several ministers have been selected to enter the palace. Zhou Yan paused, and suddenly thought of something, "I heard that the prince is going to choose a step-concubine, I don't know if it will have something to do with letting you enter the palace." ”

"But the third sister has already made a promise." Shaohua exclaimed.

Zhou Yan motioned for her to be quiet, this was just her guess, and she couldn't help but be annoyed: "The clan hasn't decided yet, it's just a verbal discussion, and strictly speaking, it doesn't count." Seeing Shaohua's worried face, Zhou Yan hurriedly comforted: "Don't panic, I'm just talking casually, not that the prince looks down on Sanniang, and Laneige is selected." ”

Hearing Laneige's name, Shaohua's heart was a little calmer, because Xingyong Bofu and Sanwangfu could be regarded as standing in two different camps, so it was really impossible for them to marry.

"It's just that I suddenly called you all into the palace, no matter how I thought about it, it was a little abrupt, and I don't know if I was thinking too much about myself, and I was faintly uneasy."

In fact, after hearing Zhou Yan's words, Shaohua also felt a little uneasy, after Li Ge told the old man, the Li family kept a low profile for a long time. Even Li Sijin and Li Sinian were ordered to enter the court, but they couldn't make the emperor look at the Li family more. Otherwise, according to Li Gelao's identity, as well as the future of this descendant, the candidate for the second princess is very likely to be Wanhua.

Therefore, some people say that the Li family's qi is exhausted, and even Li Sijin and Li Sinian may not be able to restore the Li family to the same scenery as when Li Ge Lao was in the court.

However, now that the three ladies of the Li family are allowed to enter the palace in a high-profile manner, people have to think about it more. Now that the emperor has passed the age of not being confused, he should not be too interested in them as a milky little lady, and besides, I heard that because of last year's illness, his body is often not very cheerful now. And the eldest prince already has a concubine, and the second prince has not been married for a long time, so they will definitely not be concubines with this status. The other princes in the palace are not civilized, and they will have to wait for more than ten years to get married, and the only possibility is that it is the prince Hongfang.

Although Shaohua and Jinhua have not reached the door, it is not impossible to set up a family affair first, and then pass through the door after the time. If it is really to choose a concubine for the prince, the opportunity for the Li family to make a comeback will come. In addition, not long ago, a list of princesses was circulated from the palace, and Li Shaohua's name suddenly appeared in it, although the palace did not admit it, but there were still more or less people who had hope for the Li family.

"Can I not go, then?" Shaohua asked sadly.
