Chapter 513: The Palace Gate Opens, Beauty Comes!
Shen Ninghua hurriedly asked someone to take light clothes and put them on for the three children, fortunately she came in time, otherwise Xiaobao would have to take the clothes to toss Sanzhuang.
When Baili Anning saw Sanzhuang for the first time, he originally thought it would be a chubby little doll, similar to the twins when they were young, but after seeing it, he was surprised to find that Sanzhuang looked very thin.
Shen Ninghua picked up Sanzhuang, the child was already able to recognize people, and rubbed in her arms with extra dependence, grinning and starting to laugh.
"This kid ......"
"Because it was not a full-term birth, and there were some bumps in the middle, the child's body was extremely weak. Now, under Chen Yuanzheng's care, he is already better. The matter has passed, and Shen Ninghua doesn't want to say anything in detail, just a word.
Baili Anning looked at Shen Ninghua, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I didn't expect your life to be so dangerous." ”
"It's okay, it's always getting better." Shen Ninghua kissed Sanzhuang and looked at the children who were playing around, "Okay, don't say these disappointing words, I'll let people choose some good materials and make a few clothes for each of the four children." Seeing that they like the same color, they can simply make it look like it, and it may be fun to wear it. ”
Baili Anning couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that scene: "Okay." ”
In the previous dynasty, Baili Junyi originally wanted to use the excuse of opening Enke to delay the draft time a little, but the courtiers in the court wrote one after another. It is said that the draft is a matter of the harem, and it can be handled by the queen mother, and there is no conflict with the imperial examination of the previous dynasty, so why delay?
Baili Junyi sneered in his heart: Now I think that the draft is a matter for the queen of the harem, why did you jump so happily before.
These officials are also cheeky, although they understand the meaning of Baili Junyi, but the emperor did not say it explicitly, and they are also willing to pretend to be stupid.
Shen Ninghua doesn't have any opinions, since the officials support the draft like this, then let's open it, anyway, the time is almost up, and when these ill-intentioned people finally find that the bamboo basket is empty, they don't know how wonderful their expressions should be.
After entrusting the children to Baili Anning to take care of, Shen Ninghua concentrated on arranging the draft. Although as a queen, she only needs to move her mouth, but the draft is a national event after all, and she can't lose royal face. Moreover, for some high-status show girls, they also need to know in advance, whether it is arranging a place to live, or arranging a parenting grandmother to teach the rules, they need special care.
When Concubine Qi saw the three children wearing exactly the same clothes for the first time, she almost thought that her eyes had been spent. Fortunately, Sanzhuang was not taken out, otherwise she would have been even more surprised.
Although the boss and Xiaobao don't have much intersection with Concubine Qi, they heard Cheng Rui say that this beautiful concubine is his grandmother and loves him very much. They were not afraid of life, and after saluting properly, they stared around with wide eyes.
Concubine Qi was in a particularly complicated mood at this time, and she didn't know whether to praise Shen Ninghua for being open-minded, or angry that she was too sure of herself. Some time ago, she also asked people to tell rumors in front of her children, and today she dared to let the children appear in front of her alone. Are you really not afraid of her attack?
Looking at Cheng Rui, who was pulling her skirt on the side, Concubine Qi sighed, raised a smile and instructed the palace maids and grandmothers on the side to prepare snacks. For the sake of Baili Anning and Baili Jinchuan, for the sake of Chengrui's child, she didn't want to create any more evil, not to mention, she couldn't do anything to these two lovely children. At the beginning, when she was still a concubine, she never attacked her children, and now she will not break through this bottom line.
The boss and Xiaobao walked around the palace of Concubine Qi with a smile, and saw a lot of gadgets that Concubine Qi had purchased for Chengrui these days, and couldn't help but feel a little new about some things that they hadn't seen, but they only looked at them slightly and put them aside.
Concubine Qi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the queen is indeed good at teaching children, thinking, let people take out a lot of toys for the three children to play. The three children were extremely happy, and after playing for about half an hour, the eldest and Xiaobao were also responsible for putting away the toys, and joined hands in front of Concubine Qi to say goodbye: "Taiguifei, we are leaving, come to say goodbye to you." ”
Concubine Qi was a little surprised: "Seeing that it's almost lunch time, don't you need to leave after lunch?" ”
"Thank you, Concubine Tai, we have to go back to practice big characters, it's just right to go back now, otherwise the father and mother will be worried." In front of outsiders, they no longer use the titles of father and mother.
"Okay, then the palace will send you, what about Chengrui, do you want to have lunch at Grandmother's place?"
Cheng Rui looked at Concubine Qi and then at the little brother and sister, and stepped forward to pull Xiaobao's sleeve: "Grandmother, Cheng Rui is also going to practice big characters, will you come back tomorrow to accompany your grandmother for lunch?" ”
"Okay," Concubine Qi nodded with a smile, bent down to help him tidy up his clothes, and asked the henchmen to send them back carefully.
When they left, Concubine Qi couldn't help but sigh again: "The queen is really good at raising children, look at the prince and the son, they are clearly only young, they are already relaxed in their work, and their words and deeds are already quite stylish, which is really enviable." "Even Cheng Rui, who hasn't been with them for a long time, speaks much smoother than before.
Mama Zhou on the side hurriedly said: "Why should you be envious, you are also very experienced in raising children." ”
Concubine Qi shook her head: "Don't say some good things to comfort the palace, if you can't compare, you can't compare." Mama Zhou, you have been with the palace for a long time, and you have also helped the palace to handle the draft before, you will go to the queen's palace to see if you can use you, you will concentrate on running errands for the queen, if you can't use it, you will come back. ”
"Yes, sissy."
"Don't think about anything else, do things steadily, understand?"
"The old slave understands."
In Kunyu Palace, Shen Ninghua saw Mama Zhou, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Labor Qi is too much for the concubine to worry about, it really shouldn't be in this palace." Mama Zhou is an old man in the palace, the first time the palace is in charge of the draft, many things are not clear, you are just right, the palace asked people to go to the Zhongcui Palace to say, borrow you for a few days, and then make a special trip to thank the concubine. ”
"Niangniang has tormented the old slave, it is an honor for the old slave to help the mother, and the slave will definitely do her best."
"Hmm."
Mama Zhou, who has been by Concubine Qi's side for a long time, does have two brushes, and Shen Ninghua can rest assured that she uses them, many things have made her draw up a charter, and if there is nothing wrong with it, she will order people to do it according to this. It took more than half a month, and the preparation for the draft was almost completed.
The show girls of each family have reported to the royal family, just waiting for the day when the palace door opens.
On July 26, the heavy palace gate slowly opened. The ladies of each family rode in a carriage towards the palace.
Shen Ninghua leaned on top of an attic, looked at the direction of the palace gate from a distance, and couldn't help but take a sip of the tea in his hand.
Baili Anning on the side looked at her leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but quip: "Even if you are so broad-hearted, aren't you worried that the imperial brother will be snatched away by these flowery beauty?" ”
Shen Ninghua put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "If Baili Junyi has me in his heart, naturally he doesn't need me to worry, if he doesn't have me in his heart and wants to keep others, it's useless for me to worry, why bother?" ”
Baili Anning covered his lips and chuckled: "You, it's not that you're not worried, but you have eaten the emperor, knowing that he has a deep affection for you and won't embarrass you." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled, although she didn't affirm it, but there was sweetness in her eyes, and she said after a while: "Now that I think about it, the last time I watched the draft, it was when my father was there, and now I have to do it myself." ”
"Who's to say it's not, it's not been a few years if you think about it, but why does it feel like a long time? Is it old? ”
Shen Ninghua reached out and poked her cheek: "Well, it's not as tender as before." ”
"Okay, you're actually here to trouble me!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but step forward to tickle her.
The two of them had a quarrel for a while, and then they stopped, leaning against the attic window to blow the wind. After a lot of fun, the irritability in my heart seemed to flow away with the laughter, and I couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable.
Baili Anning looked at the few show girls walking in front: "Although the distance is far away, I can't see the appearance of those show girls clearly." But I've heard that the highest status is Qin Xiang, the granddaughter of Qin Guogong, her father is the military squire Qin Chao, I heard that the temperament is good, and she grew up in a family of military generals, which is quite refreshing.
And the most outstanding appearance is Gu Wanyi, the daughter of a fourth-grade official, who has never heard of her name in Kyoto before, and it was suddenly spread after the draft was about to start, it is said that the fish and geese are sunk, and the moon is closed......"
Shen Ninghua nodded, and said with some emotion: "There are really a lot of beauties this year...... Tu Su Qingli, Bu Linglong, and now there is a Gu Wanyi, but I don't know if this Gu Wanyi is worthy of the name.
Baili Anning looked at Shen Ninghua's delicate and peerless face, especially the eyes that were as cold as the dark Milky Way, and couldn't help but mourn in her heart for the daughter of the fourth-grade official, what are you preaching, you have to promote beauty, she really doesn't believe that anyone can compare to Shen Ninghua's appearance.
Today is only a primary election, and there is nothing to do with Shen Ninghua, she just needs to wait for the second election. In the evening, Baili Junyi came to Kunyu Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he hugged her and rubbed in his arms, which was more sticky than Xiaobao.
Shen Ninghua's ears reddened: "What's wrong?" ”
"Ning Hua, I miss you so much."
"We only met before you went to the morning court today, and it's only been a long time, what do you think?"
"It's like three autumns every other day, and it's been a long time for most of the day." Baili Junyi hugged her slender waist and sat on the soft couch beside her, holding her in his arms and not letting go, "Ninghua, there are so many people in the palace, I feel that the smell of the whole palace is not good." ”
Shen Ninghua couldn't help but chuckle: "Today, I am still discussing with An Ning, saying that you are blessed, but there are many beauties coming in today." ”
"Hmph, there are many beauties in the world, but there are three thousand weak waters, and I only take one scoop. With Ninghua, you alone are worthy of the spring of the world. Ninghua, I love you so much. ”
