"Not really." Feng Hua stopped Meng Wanzhou, who said that he didn't believe that he was going to search his body, and he had also cultivated an internal martial arts, and now the internal force in his body did not react, and it seemed that he was still far away from the next layer.

At this banquet, Mama said a lot about the future, and the next eight selected show girls will stay in a palace and wait for the emperor's favor. Of course, it is not so simple to get the favor of the emperor, it is said that there are show girls who have waited for two or three years and have not seen the emperor.

However, these show girls have good food and drink in the palace, as long as they don't make trouble, or take the initiative to cause trouble, they can stay in this palace for a lifetime. Coincidentally, this just fits Feng Huali's mind, he can't get the favor of the emperor, he can stay in this palace, and the most important thing is that there is good food and drink every day, so why provoke the emperor.

After the banquet, Hua Yueqiong took the initiative to find Feng Huali and said, "Master, since you are already a show girl, do you need me to help you say a few kind words in front of the imperial brother?" ”

If the master can marry the royal brother, it can be said that it is a good thing.

But Feng Huali shook his head vigorously: "Don't." ”

"Why, this is an opportunity that no one else can ask for." Hua Yueqiong asked strangely, how many people came to her to dredge up the relationship, but she didn't agree, but Feng Huali was so opposed to this matter.

Feng Huali glanced at her: "Can I trust you?" ”

"Of course," said Hua Yueqiong, "I am your apprentice. ”

Feng Huali thought that Hua Yueqiong was not a scheming person, so he told her the truth: "Actually, I don't want to marry your imperial brother." ”

Hua Yueqiong opened her mouth wide, how many people want to marry the royal brother, and the imperial brother loves to ignore it. Sure enough, the master is the master, and he is different from others, but since he doesn't want to marry the royal brother, why should he enter the palace to be a show girl.

Feng Huali told her the reason why she entered the palace, and she was not happy to draw Yueqiong at that time, someone dared to bully the master, and even wanted to find the trouble of Mei Chengyu, but was immediately stopped by Feng Huali: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, so don't start a fire for the princess." ”

"Then the master will let her ......"

Feng Huali sighed, anyway, it is already a good thing that the house is peaceful now: "Didn't they all say that as long as the show girls left behind are not favored by the emperor, they can live with good food and drink, so as long as I am not selected by the emperor, it is fine." ”

"Okay." Hua Yueqiong nodded, it was really easy not to be favored by the imperial brother.

Night, the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, this is this year's show girl picture book." Father-in-law Xuan handed over the album.

Yan Yu put down the books in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the portraits, and asked, "Why are there still show girls entering the palace?" He remembered that he said the year before last that the show girl would not have to enter the palace in the future. Who knew that there was another batch of show girls this year, and Yan Yu didn't even know anything about it.

Father-in-law Xuan was embarrassed and said: "This draft was planned by Concubine Liang......"

"Concubine Liang?" Concubine Liang is what she wants to do, and she arranged a draft, is this because she doesn't have enough people in her harem, and she wants a few more people to fight with her. Yan Yu tilted his head and asked, "Is there anything going on in the palace recently?" ”

Father-in-law Xuan talked about several major events that happened, and remembered what the grandmother who was in charge of the draft talked about, and said: "Among the new show girls who entered the palace, there is a girl named Feng Huali, who is said to be the eldest princess's apprentice, and she won the first place in the palace etiquette test of qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, calligraphy, and painting. ”

Feng Huali? Yan Yu flipped through the album and found the page where Feng Huali was, and that familiar face evoked memories of the past. It turned out to be the girl who thought of herself as a thief as soon as she saw herself. Yan Yu thought that she was very free and easy, and she would never want to be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect to enter the palace too.

Three days later, the Queen Mother ordered to see this year's show girl, which has never happened before, which shows that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to this year's show girl. Everyone dressed up very ceremoniously but not gorgeously, after all, the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism and did not show up often.

As soon as they entered the palace of the Queen Mother, there was a strong smell of incense and candles, and everyone entered the inner room and saluted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had no expression on her face, and looked a little stern: "I heard that this year's show girls have passed layers of screening, and now it looks like this." ”

It was a good word of praise, but it was not like what she said in her cold tone, but the eight people had to thank them awkwardly.

The Queen Mother picked up the list in her hand and called, "Bai Yu? ”

Bai Yu responded: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother asked again: "Who is your father?" ”

Bai Yu replied: "My father's etiquette department is still in the book. ”

The Queen Mother looked her up and down, and finally said softly: "Not bad." ”

"Feng Wanyun?" The Queen Mother called.

"Yes." Feng Wanyun bit her lip and replied politely.

Next, the Queen Mother asked everyone about the situation. Feng Huali's name was written at the end, just on the second page, but fortunately, the Queen Mother glanced around at the eight people, only to find that Feng Huali had not been asked, so she found Feng Huali on the list.

When she saw the list, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, as if she had seen something surprising, but this look made Feng Huali really a little inexplicably panicked. The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "You won the first place in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, court etiquette, and five exams?" ”

Sure enough, it was such a thing, Feng Huali glanced at the Queen Mother with a little headache, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes." ”

"The mourners wonder what I am missing in this palace," the Queen Mother said, glancing at the empty walls, "Why don't you just make a picture of me here?" ”

Feng Huali doesn't like this kind of nasty sentiment thing, it's okay to let her draw a stick figure, she can't do it if she wants to draw a picture for the Queen Mother to hang on the wall: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is a little inconvenient, right?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "There are all pens, papers, and inks, so don't worry about it." ”

Feng Huali shook his head and made an excuse and said, "Painting takes too long, why don't you give me a few days and go back to paint a perfect picture for the Queen Mother." ”

She also reasoned with what she said, and the Queen Mother believed this statement. But in a blink of an eye, the person had already brought up all the pen, paper and ink that he had just prepared, and the Queen Mother thought about it, since it was not a waste of it: "Why don't you just come to the book and write a piece of paper?" ”

"This ......" Feng Hua looked at the paper and the Queen Mother in embarrassment, the Queen Mother had too many things, and she had picked on her own weakness.

Seeing Feng Huali's embarrassed face, the Queen Mother frowned and asked, "What's the matter, is it still inconvenient?" ”

"I ......" Feng Huali can't find a suitable reason to refuse, this painting can be said to be too time-consuming, but it is very fast to write a few words, but Feng Huali can see the level of the words written at most, and it is far from winning the championship.

Just when Feng Hua was in a dilemma, Bai Yu whispered beside him: "Hmph, it is obvious that I won the first prize by hooking up with Gonggong Xu, of course I won't be able to do anything......"

This Bai Yu's fanning was timely, and Feng Hua couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.

When the queen mother heard this, her expression did not change, and she ordered someone to take down the paper and ink pen, set up the chessboard instead, and said to Feng Huali: "Since you are superb in chess, it is better to come and learn from the mourning family." ”

It seems that the Queen Mother has already developed doubts, and this is testing herself. Feng Huali squinted his eyes, rubbed his temples with his hands, and said a little confused: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, I have had a headache recently, and I am afraid that I am very out of state......

Without waiting for Feng Huali to speak, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her hand and knocked the chessboard to the ground, the chessboard was broken and shattered, and the chess pieces were scattered everywhere. The Queen Mother was so angry that no one present dared to act rashly.

The Queen Mother slapped the table vigorously: "Presumptuous! ”

Everyone present immediately knelt down: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins—"

The Queen Mother raised her hand, pointed at Feng Huali's hand and swung it up and down: "You are so bold, what is unwell, I don't think you will be able to do it at all!" ”

It's terrible now, the Queen Mother has always been a widow, and she can be so angry because of herself, Feng Huali pursed her lips, it seems that there is less luck today, I just hope that the Queen Mother can have a lot of adults and let herself go.

"You colluded with Gonggong Xu to win the first prize, is it fake?" The Queen Mother said angrily, as a show girl, she didn't want to improve her talents, so she did these things that she secretly colluded with, and it was really an insult to herself to enter this palace.

Feng Huali kowtowed again and again: "Li'er doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother sneered, she even did it, but now she still doesn't dare to say anything, who will she show the acting. The Queen Mother got up from her seat, walked to Feng Huali's side, and looked at the face, which was born well.

"Someone!" The Queen Mother glanced at Feng Huali coldly, "Give her to me-"

Just when Feng Huali thought that he was going to be dragged out, the Queen Mother's words had no follow-up, or even no sound. The whole room was silent, and the atmosphere was lifeless and heartwarming. Feng Huali raised her head suspiciously, and saw the Queen Mother rubbing her throat with her hands, opening her mouth but not making any sound, the Queen Mother's face was flushed, and she had an uncomfortable look.

Feng Huali asked tentatively, "Queen Mother?" ”

Suddenly, the Queen Mother let out two low roars, then let go of her hand, closed her eyes and fell to the ground, unconscious. The loud sound made everyone raise their heads, and when they saw the Queen Mother falling to the ground, everyone panicked.

"Someone! Physician Transmission—"

The entire Empress Dowager Palace was full of people coming and going, and the Imperial Doctor stepped through the threshold one by one and walked in, the Empress Dowager has always been in good health, but now the sudden coma spread throughout the entire palace in an instant.

Yan Yu also rushed over quickly, the Queen Mother was lying on the bed, there was no sign of awakening at all, her lips were white, and she looked quite terrifying. Yan Yu frowned, her mother's body has always been fine, why is it so sudden: "What's going on?" ”

"Your Majesty," all the imperial doctors present knelt down, "the queen mother's condition was discovered too late, I'm afraid it will ......"

"I'm afraid of what?" Yan Yu roared angrily, her mother had never had any illness, and it was too late to find out.
