The emperor asked one by one, and the words asked were almost the same, and those people answered the same. Bayi Chinese Network ? ? ?．? 8.1.z. How old are you, what books have you studied, and what do you usually do when you have free time? These children who can pass five levels and cut six generals and finally stand in the Changning Hall will definitely not be fools, except for being a little nervous in front of the emperor, they are all talking back to the truth, and at a glance, they know that they may have practiced at home in advance. Xie Ning looked at their performance, and somehow suddenly remembered that the meeting when he entered the palace came.

It's really like, but it's a beauty pageant, and the one chosen here is barely a talent.

The answer is not exactly the same. Some of these people were enlightened early, and some had already entered the official school, and they all dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics. Others usually read less, such as the eldest one, his surname is Guan, his grandfather is a loyal marquis, when the emperor asks him, he honestly answers that he doesn't like to study very much, and he usually likes to run horses and hunt when he is idle.

Naturally, this answer made others look sideways.

This is to choose a companion to read, to read with a companion, of course to study, this one actually said that he doesn't like to study, so what is he doing today? The family didn't teach him how to reply? Even if you pretend to be a book, you have to pretend to be a student first.

Xie Ning thought so at first, and then pondered, people are also taking advantage of the word sincerity in doing this, otherwise they would blow it in front of the emperor, and if they count it seriously, they would be bullying the king. This can be deceived for a while, but it can't be deceived for a lifetime, and when it is really selected, the true foundation of getting along will always be revealed, and the emperor will not be angry at that time?

It's said honestly, but it's different, no matter whether this companion should be read or not, after all, it left a very clear impression in front of the emperor, and he didn't come to this trip in vain. Who says people are stupid? People call this smart.

Of course, it may not be the kid standing here who is smart, but his family.

Xie Ning thought of what the emperor said before.

Yesterday evening, the emperor told her that if the Lin family had children of the same age, it would be necessary to choose another person this time.

It is also a common practice for relatives to read with them, which can be regarded as a step forward for the families of the concubines. Although people always equate themselves with traitors when they mention their relatives, who doesn't promote acquaintances? Xie Ning remembered that the emperor's companion was the queen mother's family, and quickly shook his head. The Lin family doesn't have such a big child, and even if there is, Xie Ning doesn't want them to enter the palace as a companion. The situation in the palace is too complicated, looking at the scenery, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring, even a small mistake may cause a big disaster, and the children of the Lin family can't cope with it without such complicated scheming.

Of course, Shainin still wants to thank the emperor for his grace, and unfortunately he can only miss it. But the emperor said again: "Don't worry, you can't make it up this time, just do it next time." ”

This means that when the second prince wants to study, he still has to choose someone from the Lin family? At that time, there is no way to say that the age will not be enough, because as far as Xie Ning knows, the eldest cousin's firstborn son should be about the same age as Princess Yuyao, and the second born is a daughter. And the second cousin has also married, and this birth is a matter of this year, and the age is really good.

Xie Ning was pondering this, and Princess Yuyao looked at it unguardedly, and suddenly opened the curtain and walked out.

Before Shainin could say anything, the people outside had already seen her.

Of course they know that there are people behind the curtain, but they can see more clearly from the inside of the curtain, and when they look inside from the outside, they can only see human figures.

Now everyone in Beijing knows that the concubine is favored, and the eldest prince is also raised in Yong'an Palace, so which one behind the curtain still needs to ask?

Unexpectedly, the curtain moved, and it was a short girl who came out of it.

At this age, with this dress, anyone can guess her identity, except for Princess Yuyao, it is impossible to be someone else.

Seeing that the emperor had no words, Princess Yuyao walked generously to the eldest prince and looked at these people openly.

The emperor was also reluctant to scold his daughter. In his opinion, Princess Yuyao's illness has been slowly improving for a while, and it is rare for her to be interested in coming out, and the emperor will naturally not stop her. Anyway, these are half-grown children outside, and Princess Yuyao is even younger, far from the time to pay attention to the defense of men and women.

"This is Princess Yuyao."

As soon as the emperor said this, the children saluted the princess unevenly.

Despite such an accident, the companion still has to continue to choose. The emperor has asked the last person, this is the grandson of Wei Guogong, I don't know if he inquired about the news in advance or it happened, he answered the emperor's question and said that he likes music and rhythm, and he has dabbled in playing the piano and flute.

This is a modest statement. If it was really only rough and fur, it would not be mentioned in front of the emperor at all. Since it is said that there is dabbling, it means that in fact, there is a certain level of attainment, at least not at the beginner level.

If you had inquired about the eldest prince's preferences and learned now, you wouldn't have said it so confidently.

Is that really a coincidence? It didn't take long for the eldest prince to start learning music rhythm, and he met someone who also loved music rhythm, which can also be said to be fate.

Xie Ning took a serious look at the grandson of Wei Guogong, although he is not very old, but from his current appearance, he can already see that he must be a beautiful young man with a graceful demeanor in a few years, he is not in a hurry when he speaks, and his manners are moderate, standing in the middle of a group of half-grown children who want to support adults.

is indeed outstanding, even if there is no such thing as music, Shainin feels that he is also better than others.

With Xie Ning's understanding of the eldest prince, he should not like the image of the grandson of the loyal marquis, the five or three rough and straightforward children, as the saying goes, things gather by like, and people must also have some similarities, and it will be easier to come together if they have common preferences and topics.

Princess Yuyao leaned on the eldest prince and looked at the six people standing in a row curiously. Everyone else must have been admonished not to look left and right, and not to squint in a proper manner, but Wei Guogong's grandson smiled at Princess Yuyao when she looked at her, revealing her snow-white and neat teeth.

Princess Yuyao seemed to be stunned for a moment, and twisted her head to the side.

After reading them all, the emperor ordered someone to send the six of them out, and then Xie Ning came out from behind the curtain and said to the emperor: "It's all the concubines who didn't take care of Yuyao." ”

"Don't worry, it's all children who don't need to pay attention to that, besides, she's like this now, let her do whatever she wants to do, don't be too restrictive to her." The emperor beckoned Princess Yuyao to come over, took a piece of sesame cake from the plate and handed it to her. Princess Yuyao took the halva and relied on Xie Ning to eat the sugar slowly.

The emperor asked the eldest prince: "Which one does Ying Yan fancy to?" ”

The eldest prince thought for a while: "My son thinks that the prince of the Weiguo Mansion is very good. ”

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

The emperor nodded: "I know." ”

Needless to say, the selected one is naturally ready to come to Nanyuan Study at the beginning of next month. The other five emperors will also have their own encouragement and reward, so as not to make them sad if they are defeated.

The eldest prince's companion reading was finally decided, and the things he wanted to study and study were all ready, and Xie Ning began to prepare for the canonization wholeheartedly. The process on the day of canonization has been written clearly, what to do at what time and where, how to do it, and it will be good to do it.

But it's still necessary to rehearse beforehand.

When receiving the decree, it was in the main hall of Yong'an Palace, and when the time came, it was the Ministry of Rites that came to announce the decree, not the eunuch eunuch who pronounced the decree as in the past. The direction of Shainin's kneeling, and what he said when the time comes, these must be known in advance. Of course, it's just a drill now, Xie Ning just needs to stand in that direction and practice what he wants to say twice, without really kneeling.

After receiving the golden seal of the treasure book, you have to change your clothes, and there is no queen in the palace who can save the article of kowtowing to the queen to lead the training, and then go to the Fengxian Hall to kowtow. Because there are three concubines at the same time, the three of them get together.

Then Xie Ning went back to Yong'an Palace to change his clothes again, and accepted the harem to meet and congratulate, and even Concubine Shen and Concubine Jin, who were enshrined together, also had to come over.

Listening to the people in the inner palace eunuch talk about these rules one by one, Xie Ning had a vague feeling.

She also knew that she was a noble concubine before, but now many people in Yong'an Palace have changed their names to call her Niangniang. But when she heard that everyone in the harem was going to salute and congratulate her, Xie Ning realized that she was already the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. If there is no queen, then naturally the concubine has the highest position.

Whether she wanted it or not, her life had changed.

She has practiced how to bow to this in the Fengxian Palace, and in the end, Fang Shanggong half-jokingly asked her to sit on the chair in the main hall of Yong'an Palace, and practice how to be courteous first, Xie Ning shook his head with a wry smile.

What else is there to practice in salutation?

When she thought of the tosses in the coming day, she didn't feel very happy in her heart, but felt very worried.

Qinghe walked over quickly, there was no clue on his face, and he leaned into Fang Shanggong's ear and whispered a few words.

Fang Shanggong nodded and asked Xie Ning: "Master must have been tired for half a day, this is almost done, can you rest for a while?" ”

Xie Ning glanced at them and nodded slowly.

Fang Shanggong sent the people from the inner palace eunuch back, and Xie Ning asked, "What's wrong?" ”

It was inconvenient to ask in front of people just now, Xie Ning could see that Qinghe's expression was a little strange, something must have happened.

Fang Shanggong said softly: "Just now, Qinghe and Xia Yue went to fetch the dress and wanted to sort it out and iron it again, but now one of them is broken. ”

"Broken?"

When the clothes were delivered, they were naturally inspected inside and out, and it was impossible for the Needlework Bureau to send a torn auspicious dress to Yong'an Palace, unless they all ate leopard gall. After the auspicious clothes were delivered, they were not folded and packed into boxes, for fear of pressing out the wrinkles, but were covered with silk cloth and stored in the side hall. How can a good end be broken?

But Qinghe and the others won't make this kind of joke, the auspicious clothes were taken for Xie Ning to see, and the other two of the three have been carefully checked and there is no problem, but the dark red Luan Bird Tuanhua auspicious costume has a big hole in the middle of the tuanhua in front of the skirt. It is unlikely that this is a pest biting scourge, but man-made.
