Although it is a game, Wang Fusheng's heart throws away the chess pieces when she loses, Wang Zhixi doesn't like it, and takes her to find a reason to go first, Wei Lingzhi looked at the figures of the two sisters, "This is not a mother's belly out of the light and heavy I understand, this is all born by a mother, how can you favor one over the other." ”

"Don't blame me for speaking badly, if your third sister's temperament is determined, there will be her good fruit to eat in the future." Wei Lingzhi said. The traces of careful upbringing and perfunctory upbringing on the two girls are so obvious that it is nothing more than people say.

"When the second sister enters the palace, the mother will have the leisure to break the third sister's temperament." Wang Ronghe said.

Today's sun is just right, the breeze blows people drunk, without Wang Zhixi and Wang Fushang two sisters, the rest of the people are more relaxed, and return to the small pavilion on the top of the rockery for lunch, cherry meat, dry and fragrant beef vermicelli pot, stir-fried chicken, tofu stuffed meat, white jade shrimp balls, eight treasures of stewed vegetables, snow cabbage stewed fish soup, and then there is the main silver silk milk bun.

The dishes are all packed with peach blossom tableware, white porcelain as the base, only the tip of the petals is dyed a little pink, although there are many dishes, the amount is not much, the food is beautiful, looking at the people in a comfortable mood, Wang Ronghe also let people take out the bayberry fruit wine brewed last year, "I can't drink wine now." Ning said without knowing anything, "You still take it out to recruit me." ”

"How can you eat meat without wine?" Wang Ronghe said that everyone thinks that girls should eat less and eat light, but Wang Ronghe loves meat, which is full of a table of vegan dishes. Since the four of them can talk about it, it is obvious that their eating habits are also the same.

Wei Lingzhi is an exception, she really eats quite little, the taste is clear, and today's tofu stuffed meat and fish stew are all prepared for her. "Ganoderma lucidum, you have to eat more." Wang Ronghe said, "Being a mother is much more tiring than being a girl, you have to eat more to store your strength." "Being too thin can also affect conception.

After lunch, I took a short rest, took Wang Ronghe and the small gifts prepared and went home separately, Wang Ronghe went to his grandmother's talk, and then went back to the house to rest. Today is full and happy, so much so that she can't imagine that her life has reached an important juncture.

The next day, the little eunuch sent a notice, a thin piece of paper, on which it was written that the daughter of the royal family, the second daughter was selected, and sent to Shenwumen on the second day of the third month, and each person could bring two packages. Along with the notice, there is also a person with five ingots of official silver, which is a dowry in the palace.

Wang Wei was a little confused when he held the paper, "Is this father-in-law mistaken?" Only the second daughter participated in the selection, so how can there be the name of my eldest daughter on it. ”

"That's right, this is the exact list that came out of the palace at the end." The eunuch said, "Because before the selection into the palace, the show girl may be a little unwell because of nervousness, Wang Qianhu must not be polite, although inform our family, you can call the imperial doctor from the palace to come over to diagnose the pulse of the show girl." ”

"Wang Qianhu, being selected is the face given by the heavenly family, don't you look so happy with this face?" The eunuch knocked and said.

"Where, where." Wang Wei smiled reluctantly, and hurriedly handed the purse to the eunuch.

After the others left, Wang Wei sat on the chair, "How can this be?" ”

"Daddy." The eldest son, Wang Houde, came in, "What's wrong?" ”

"Today's notice is that your eldest sister and second sister have been selected together." Wang Wei said. "When the eunuch came that day, I saw that he only circled your second sister's name, how could Bao'er?"

Wang Houde took the paper and looked at it, "Then what now?" It's better to let the third brother go to the palace to inquire. ”

"He's just in charge of guarding the perimeter of the Imperial City." Wang Wei said, "Let him ask Yicheng, at least he knows what is going on, and he is well prepared." ”

Cui Shi and Wang Zhixi sat together and told her what she was going to bring into the palace, and when she heard that Wang Ronghe was also on the selection list, Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Wang Zhixi, "Do you know what Mama taught you?" ”

Wang Zhixi nodded.

Cui Shi said to the people around him, "In this case, prepare a gift today and send Mama away." ”

"Mother?" Wang Zhixi was puzzled.

"Now Wang Ronghe is also going to enter the palace and not send Mama away, I'm afraid that the old pious woman will say that Mama wants Mama to teach Wang Ronghe, and I don't want her to teach irrelevant people to the people I invited. Send it away early and leave it clean. Cui said.

Wang Zhixi thought of the scene where Wang Ronghe stopped her from holding the cat and said, "Now that my daughter is going to enter the palace, her future is uncertain, and her heart is uneasy." If the eldest sister went into the palace with me, I would have something to rely on, and I would not be so lonely. ”

"Xi'er, Wang Rong and her will not be your dependence." Cui Shi said, "You were not born as a mother, and you have seen the coldness between us over the years." And when she enters the palace, she loses the election, if she is not elected, you are in the same harem, and you want to compete for the favor of an emperor, and you are the enemy. ”

"Xi'er, in the harem, she is no longer your sister, you have to keep that in mind." Cui said. "Even if you are favored, don't pity her when you look at her pitiful, Wang Ronghe is not good-looking, her mind is very lively, you pity her, she will step on you and climb up, to get close to Your Majesty, so you must not be soft-hearted."

Wang Zhixi was so earnestly asked by Cui's hand that she could only nod.

Wang Rong and the Sun family were holding a small hammer to hammer agarwood, and when they heard the news, a small hammer smashed on their fingers, "Oops." "The Sun family seemed to have smashed himself, and he hurriedly pulled Wang Ronghe's hand to look, and Wang Ronghe only looked at the comer." Are you sure? ”

"I can't be sure. The old man only doubted one sentence, and the eunuch said that the old man had a bad complexion, whether he was dissatisfied with the selection, and the old man hurriedly said no, and the man who stuffed the silver left. "Someone said.

Wang Ronghe waved his hand to let him go down first, and then said to Sun with a reluctant smile, "Second sister-in-law, I'm very confused now, I'm afraid I don't have any thoughts about Hexiang." ”

Sun gently held her fingers, "You are the smartest, and naturally you know that panic and things are not beneficial. I'll go first, you calm down. ”

Wang Ronghe nodded.

Ying's mother was also panicked, "Why is our eldest girl going to be selected, didn't you say that there was no eldest girl on the list at that time?" ”

Wang Ronghe eased up, "I'll wash my face when I get water, and I'm going to my grandmother." ”

Bringing the copper basin without illness, Wang Ronghe put the hot water on the cover of the veil on her face, and the heat steamed away her uneasiness, and when she went to see her grandmother, she became normal again. The old lady grabbed her hand, "Don't worry, Bao'er, your father has asked someone to inquire." ”

Wang Ronghe took the thin piece of paper that decided her fate, with her place of origin and name on it, followed by the year, and the bottom of the paper was stamped with the seal of the household.

"We also have to be prepared for the worst, and we must not affect the future of our father and brothers." Wang Ronghe comforted his grandmother and said, "You see I'm round, maybe I won't be able to pass the first pass, and when the time comes, I won't be able to find a good family in the future, and my grandmother can't hate me." ”

"Oh my baby, my heart." Grandmother hugged Wang Ronghe and cried, "If you enter the palace, grandmother's tears will dry day and night, and if they drain, you will never see my treasure again, how can you close your eyes when you let your grandmother die." ”

"Grandmother." Wang Ronghe couldn't help choking. The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and whimpered.

Wang Yaliang came back in the evening, and during the day, he heard the news that his eldest brother asked him to bring in during the day, and he also went to inquire, "I can't find anything, the Shanggong Bureau and the inner chamberlain all said that Rong You's name was on it from the beginning, and no one made any trouble from it." ”

"Is that name crossed out?" The second brother Wang Zaiwu said, "Is it feasible to use illness to escape the draft." ”

"If the inner chamberlain didn't send that piece of paper to our house, there would be room for activity, and now it will be difficult to stamp the seal of the household department, strictly speaking, my sister is not from our family now, but from the royal family." Wang Yaliang suddenly felt a little sad as she spoke, as if she knew what it meant.

"What about escaping from illness?" Wang Zaiwu said that when my sister married into an ordinary family, she followed the royal family, which was a world of difference. When his mother left, except for Wang Yaliang, who was still ignorant, he and his eldest brother were both sensible, and he was called to him by his mother and said that he held his little sister's hand and said that he would treat his sister well in the future.

"This is His Majesty's first draft since he ascended the throne, and after the election, he is cautious, I'm afraid it's not good to take advantage of illness." Wang Houde said.

"Yes, the inner chamberlain also told me today that if the show girl is unwell, she can call the imperial doctor to come and see, and I am afraid that the ordinary minor illness will not be frightening." Wang Wei said.

The four big men were silent at the same time, and Wang Wei sighed, "I'll go to Bao'er and talk about it, if she doesn't want to go, she can't let her enter the palace even if she tries everything." ”

Wang Ronghe comforted Wang Wei and said that it was nothing for his daughter to enter the palace, and it was not necessarily selected, so why worry. But when she went to find Wang Yaliang at night, she would sketch a little, draw Zhang Cheng according to the way she remembered, and asked her third brother if she could find this inner chamberlain to meet.

"Where did you know the inner chamberlain?" Wang Yaliang said suspiciously, he took the portrait and carefully identified it, of course he didn't know all the eunuchs in the palace, but he always had to pay attention to several important positions, "This is not the eunuch next to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"How do you know him?" Wang Yaliang said.

"It's just a matter of encountering it occasionally." Wang Ronghe was a little difficult to justify.

"He can't be met by you alone outside the palace." Wang Yaliang was unexpectedly keen, "So, you have seen the emperor, have you?" ”

"He didn't know I knew he was the emperor." Wang Ronghe said that she indirectly admitted that she had seen the emperor.

"So you want to find Zhang Cheng and see if he can help cross your name off the selection list?"

"When the eunuch came, my father saw with his own eyes that there was no name on it, but now the notice that comes has your name on it. You know he doesn't know that you know that he is the emperor, but he has always known that he is the emperor, and he wants to let a woman whom he likes to the eye enter the palace, easily. Wang Yaliang said. Since it is the emperor who wants you to enter the palace, what can Zhang Cheng help you with, you go to Zhang Cheng now, except to tell him that you know their identity. ”

"How is it possible, I'm not good-looking." Wang Ronghe said with a pale face.

Wang Yaliang suddenly thought, "Did you meet that night of the Lantern Festival?" Qi Da didn't come out with his friends to see the lights at all, they were the emperor who came out to watch the lights, and he also bought the lights you made. It's me, if I hadn't thrown Qing'er all the way, you wouldn't have gone up to ask, and you wouldn't have met. ”

Wang Yaliang scratched her head with self-reproach, "It's all my fault." ”

"Third brother, it's none of your business." Wang Ronghe said with a pale face, "If that's the case, then let's enter the palace." ”
