"Maybe, but the words of the matchmaker of the parents, the marriage of the son of the world must also be decided by the prince."

"Then, what is the prince's mind?"

Princess Ren stopped talking again.

Cai Luan secretly wrote down Wen Jin's name, ready to let people bring her into the palace to see if the master had any good way, and pressed one end, Cai Luan said the next: "The girl of Zheng Shangshu's Mansion, you also praise her for being very good, if I am the prince, I will be optimistic about her, after all, to be the housewife, you must have grace and talent." ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too."

"What about the prince?" When Cai Luan said this for the third time, he saw that Princess Ren's face sank slightly, as if she was blamed for asking too much, so she had to shut up.

For the purpose of this time, Cai Luan gave a jade Ruyi that the master put in front of him to the princess of Ren, but in the end, she only inquired about the details, and there was no key word, she secretly scolded Liu Caiqin in her heart for being scheming, but there was no way to take her.

In the afternoon of the same day, Concubine Qiao got the small note that Cai Luan passed into the palace, she thought about it and thought about it, and she didn't have an idea for a while, so Lin Jing, the personal palace maid, walked in and began to rub her shoulders silently.

Lin Jing has been following Concubine Qiao for more than ten years, and many confidential things are done through her figures, and Concubine Qiao has also done a lot of good things for Lin Jing's maiden family, from a seven-rank prefect to the prefect of Wupin, and also let her brother, as a prisoner, become the prefect of seven-pin.

Concubine Qiao sighed softly.

"Is the concubine worried about Concubine Qiao's body?"

"Is there any improvement?"

"No, the imperial doctor said that Concubine Qiao's palace is cold, and it is not easy to get pregnant."

"Why is this happening? My girl, which one is not fertile, why is it so difficult to come to her? ”

"The concubine, the emperor's woman in the palace, all the palaces are cold......"

"Did the woman do it?"

"It's hard to say."

Concubine Qiao couldn't care about interfering in Qian Jun's marriage, she thought about it, and bit her back teeth fiercely: "You say, if Lan Fang enters the palace, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Lin Jing didn't dare to say anything.

"Hmph, Cai Luan heard from the subordinates of Prince Ren's mansion that only that Qian Wenjin is more beautiful than Lan Fang, and the rest have their own merits, if I help in the palace, the draft can still be passed, and now the top priority is how to make her learn to win people, hehe, men, they all like women like that."

"Mother's idea." Lin Jing hurriedly patted her ass, Qiao Guifang is more beautiful than Qiao Lanfang, she can't be favored, isn't Qiao Lanfang even worse? That is, her own mother is wishful thinking here.

The Queen Mother every afternoon, to sleep well, about an hour to get up, like to go to the garden for a walk, Concubine Qiao was waiting on the road on time, the Queen Mother saw her, she smiled, she is now everything as she wished, the only regret is that she is not in good health, go to the garden every day, or the advice given by the imperial doctor, now, the Queen Mother's body, than just out of the palace retreat hall is much better.

Concubine Qiao found that going for a walk in the garden was indeed beneficial to the body, so she couldn't move every day, accompanying the Queen Mother, not only for her health, but also for the Queen Mother's favor.

"Queen Mother, everything is good now, but the palace is empty, and the heirs are not prosperous, when will the draft girl be selected to enter the palace?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Qiao meaningfully, but still answered her question: "Let's talk about it after the filial piety period of Emperor Daxing next year, the emperor is busy with state affairs now, and he can't take care of it." ”

"But the Queen Mother, this is as important as other state affairs."

"What? Whose girl do you want to recommend? ”

Concubine Qiao looked aggrieved, and said coquettishly: "Ouch, Queen Mother Lafayette, you know, who can I know, I said this purely for the emperor's consideration." ”

The queen mother is silent, the queen has been married to the emperor for eight years, and she has given birth to three princesses in a row, when the prince is in the palace, there are also two side concubines, two concubines, and none of them have children, and I don't know what the reason is, this time the emperor ascended the throne, the two side concubines did not have concubines, only a talented person, only Qiao Guifang, the niece of Concubine Qiao, the emperor saw that his aunt was kind to the queen mother, and gave a concubine, and it was indeed necessary to choose a few girls to enrich the palace.

"Queen Mother, time flies quickly, it's better to look at each other quietly now, and when the clothes are removed next year, those women will be recruited into the palace, otherwise, those who are in a hurry may not be able to choose the best woman."

"How do you look at each other?"

"Well, I heard that there are good girls in someone's family, so I summoned them into the palace and tried to let the emperor take a look, I don't believe it, if I hint to them that the emperor intends to let them enter the palace, I don't believe that they will marry outside and marry ordinary people."

"Well, yes, hehe, we'll make it for the emperor now."

The Queen Mother's beloved son was earnest, and she said that she would do it, and soon she had a decree, saying that she was going to hold a chrysanthemum party, and ordered the families of officials above the third grade to take their daughters into the palace to show their talents, so that she could be happy.

In order to prevent too many people from being busy, the Queen Mother only recruited seven or eight people at a time.

Concubine Qiao was secretly happy in her heart, this time she didn't kill all the girls who looked and behaved well? If the niece can't enter the palace, there is also hope to marry Prince Ren's son, one more choice, there will be more hope, although Prince Ren now refuses to marry their family, there is no better choice at that time, maybe he will change his mind.

Of course, Concubine Qiao Taishu hopes that her niece can enter the palace the most, Qiao Guifang is cold and infertile, and she doesn't believe that the little one also has this problem.

The county lord of Yujie received Yi's order, not to mention how happy she was, if she hadn't had the queen mother to dispel the public opinion and point out this marriage, how could she have a happy life today? Although on the second day of the wedding, she and Qian Xiancong entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother for her grace, but that time, the Queen Mother took a lunch break and didn't even see each other.

Before she got married, I heard that Qian Xiancong also had a daughter, and she was still a little worried, lest she be against herself everywhere, as an elder, she couldn't say it, and she couldn't spoil it, but she didn't expect Wen Jin to show favor to her everywhere, it seems that her personality is a little cowardly, this time the experience of being a guest in Prince Ren's mansion has greatly changed the impression of the county lord of Yujie on Wen Jin, Wen Jin is not cowardly, but really good to her, is letting her.

How could the county lord of Yujie let the juniors let themselves? People respect me a foot, I respect people, she cares more and more for Wen Jin, even Wei Shi felt it, in front of Wen Jin, praised and praised the county lord of Yujie: "Jin'er, your father is really a blessing, he has to marry a noble girl like the county lord's mother, and he is so virtuous and virtuous, it is really a great fortune for the Qian family." ”

"No, second aunt, our family is very lucky to meet a good person like the county lord."

"Uh-huh."

Wei took the initiative to help the concubine take care of the housework, and the lord of Yujie was a little surprised at first, but later found that she was sincerely courting, so she gladly accepted, and the family got along more harmoniously.

At the Qian family's dinner table, someone started chatting again, but after the meal, they cleaned up the leftovers and sent tea. Lord Yujie was only an audience at first, and later occasionally interjected, becoming more and more integrated with the family.

The county lord of Yujie wanted to express his heart, but unfortunately the queen mother lacked nothing, Wen Jin's servant, although he sent a lot of kiwi jam and dried fruit all the way, but the county lord of Yujie did not dare to send it into the palace, and the things that entered her mouth, once there was any accident, she could jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it.

Seeing that her stepmother was sullen, Wen Jin had to rack her brains to find a way for her, and finally, she thought of the brown man, that is, under the puppet, tie the brown hair, and then put it on the drum surface, and gently knock it, the brown man will jump, if it is accompanied by song dialogue, it is unique, right? Wen Jin happened to be worried about herself, she didn't know what talent to show, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was not good at any of them, that day in Prince Ren's mansion, it was just a trick, her paintings, it was okay to look at it fiercely, and then look at it, the more you look at it, the more unbearable it becomes.

Wen Jin has no intention of showing off in front of the Queen Mother, she just wants to live her life happily and happily, climbing high, it is a job that is easy to fall down, the risk is too great, Wen Jin does not plan to do it.

Therefore, this talent show, Wen Jin thought about it and thought about it, so she sang with a brown man, she dubbed it on the side, and she thought about it, so she used Tianxian to match a paragraph of "husband and wife both return home".

The people of this dynasty value piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and singing is not respected, Wen Jin is also happy with the Empress Dowager, just meet the wishes of the lord of Yujie.

There are not many officials above the third grade in the capital, but there are not many good-looking and talented girls in the family, and Wen Jin soon took her turn.

Other girls entered the palace with guqin, jade flute, transverse flute, etc., but Wen Jin brought a small rattan box, which made the girls who went with her very curious.

Every afternoon, it is the highest temperature in the garden, the most suitable time for the flower hall to be hot and cold, the queen mother stays here for an hour, and then goes back to the palace to take a nap.

Eight noblewomen in the capital, around the queen mother a strong compliment, eight girls, out of their best, amuse the queen mother, the queen mother felt that this day is not comfortable, and even forgot a little, this is to choose a concubine for her son.

The woman who shows painting and calligraphy, writes poems and lyrics, is the most unremarkable, although this is the most difficult to learn, the most respected, but can not win the favor of the queen mother, but the girl who plays the piano is the most likely to get a reward when she goes out of the palace, to Wen Jin's group, eight girls, none of them are writing and painting pairs, they are all musical instruments, and there are songs and dances. It is said that the day before yesterday, the girls of the Xiao Guogong family performed a sword dance for the Queen Mother, and they actually got a priceless sword with a sheath full of gems to ward off evil spirits, so that today's batch of women are all active, and two of them are prepared for singing and dancing.

The one Wen Jin prepared was not so eye-catching.

But Wen Jin still didn't expect her to be different, her singing style is different from others, Ju Rongchao, singing music likes to show off her voice, like to be more treble, Wen Jin's kindness and gentleness, so that the Queen Mother feels very comfortable, plus the pair of brown people, the Queen Mother beat with a drumstick, watching them bouncing, I also think it's very interesting, she left that one, and the reward for Wen Jin was richer, and she got a pair of Hetian jade bracelets.

Seeing that the bracelet was flawless and crystal clear, Wen Jin was happy and a little embarrassed, and on the way home, she said to the lord of Yujie: "Niangniang still wants to thank the Queen Mother for her fulfillment, but I didn't expect that the things we sent in were not as good as the general price of this pair of bracelets." ”

"Yes, but the Queen Mother doesn't have any good things? As long as we can coax her old man to have fun, that's the best gift. ”

"Well, too, it's still the mother who thinks through it."

"Look at you, and you're still playing with your mother."

"Niang Niang is wronged, I'm not telling a lie, I really haven't thought it through."

"Forget it, forget it, I don't care about you." The county lord of Yujie was happy in her heart, and gently pushed Wen Jin, her mouth was disgusted, it was better to say that she was joking with Wen Jin, she was now more and more young, and even her behavior was completely different from when she just married in.

A few days later, the Queen Mother ordered Wen Jin to enter the palace again, saying that she liked to listen to her sing small songs.

Wen Jin is a little strange, he is not unparalleled in the world, he entered the palace later, someone heard that he was brilliant, and he actually sang "Yu Beauty Goes to the West Tower Alone Without a Word" The Queen Mother also rewarded her, Wen Jin didn't know if she had passed the song to Zhou Danniang in Liangzhong Province, or if she had encountered the same kind of item, but she was secretly vigilant in her heart, and she should be more and more careful in the future.

Lord Yujie doesn't think so, his own is always the best, although Wen Jin is not her daughter, but nominally, it also inspired her maternal love, and now, she only treats Wen Jin as her daughter.

This time when she entered the palace, the county lord of Yujie was not so troubled by gains and losses, so she was in the mood to dress up well, not only gave her several clothes and faces, let Wen Jin and Yanran help choose, but also dressed Wen Jin up, only made Wen Jin tired, so she gave up.

Fortunately, Wen Jin's complexion is like jade, and applying grease and powder can only make her ugly, otherwise, the toss of the county lord of Yujie will be more.

Finally on the day of entering the palace, Wen Jin wore a pink waist-length jacket, a yuan-colored pleated skirt, and a wide belt embroidered on a purple and red background between the dresses, and the belt was decorated with pearls and gemstones.

This dress is eye-catching, Wen Jin originally made it for Yanran's sister-in-law, but the county lord Yujie took a fancy to it, so he had to make one for her, as for the gems and pearls on it, they were all nailed by Yujie to Mama Fang.

Yujie became more and more like Wen Jin was her daughter, and there was a beautiful girl in the family who had just grown up, and she couldn't boast in front of the whole world: "Have you seen it?" The most beautiful one is my daughter. ”

Wen Jin was helpless, but she didn't think it would be any harm, so she relied on the county lord of Yujie.

It wasn't until she entered the palace that Wen Jin felt that something was wrong, this time, the six women summoned by the Queen Mother, all of them were fat and thin, all of them were big beauties, with excellent appearances and tastes that were more elegant than the other.

Even if it is beautiful and delicious, does the Queen Mother like to look at beautiful women so much?

This time, there are fewer people, and the Queen Mother is not limited to the projects they perform.

Coincidentally, Zheng Damei is also included, although Wen Jin has no good impression of Zheng Liyuan, but when they meet, they still politely bow their heads, but Zheng Liyuan is like she didn't see her, and she shows so many talents that Wen Jin is surprised, painting, writing poems, playing the piano, singing, and everything is really good.

It's not so good, at least, none of them are top-notch.

Wen Jin smiled, in his previous life, the boss commented on the deputy general manager who thought he was meddling everywhere: "There are knives all over his body, and none of them are sharp!" ”

This Miss Zheng is exactly like this.

All in all, it is not a vain performance to win a "versatile" crown.

Wen Jin only told the Queen Mother a joke, made the old lady lean back and laughed, and passed it, that Qiao Lanfang, who changed her silence and restraint in Prince Ren's mansion, was as desperate as Zheng Liyuan, and she was also a performance of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting one by one, but she was not as good as Zheng Liyuan.

This time, the six girls were rewarded, and Miss Zheng contributed the most, and the reward was the greatest—a one-foot-tall red coral tree, and Wen Jin's reward was the smallest—a full crown studded with precious stones.

If it is about value, Wen Jin's can be worth Zheng Liyuan's ten coral trees, and Zheng Liyuan is very frustrated when she sees that the other girls are more valuable than the things in her hands.

When the Queen Mother saw her expression, her face was slightly disappointed - it turned out that her magnanimity was pretended, and her heart was not like this.

However, Qiao Lanfang thanked the Queen Mother again and again with joy, which made the Queen Mother very happy.

Just when Wen Jin and his entourage were about to leave, the emperor came to visit the queen mother, the girls couldn't avoid it, so they had to kneel down and salute, but the emperor didn't look at them more, and after calling a faint glance, he waved his hand to retreat. Six girls rushed out from the emperor's side, except for Wen Jin, their bodies trembled one by one, I don't know if they were scared or excited, which made Wen Jin puzzled: Although the emperor didn't smile, his expression was gentle, did they need to look like this?

On the way home, the county lord of Yujie saw that Wen Jin had received the best reward, and his emotions were high, and he chattered all the way, saying endlessly: "It's still the queen mother, her old man's vision is good, you are better than them, at first glance, you are a gentle, kind, generous, smart and capable ......"

"Okay, mother, I'm not praised, is it sympathetic?"

"Hehehe......" Lord Yujie still couldn't help but be full of excitement, but changed the subject: "Jin'er, I heard that the small mountain village you live in has the same scenery as a painting?" "Qian Xiancheng misses his hometown, he has been mentioning Shanyang County for the past few days, saying that it is like heaven on earth, Lord Yujie is so curious, she didn't enter the palace This big thing is pressing, she immediately asked Wen Jin." Oh, yes! It's only been a few months, Wen Jin can't help but miss, "The village is not far from the mountain, our house is in the westernmost part of the village, and it is more than two miles to the west, there is a small stream flowing through, the stream can be clear, when it touches the stones, only a few ripples, it passes quietly, occasionally a fish swims by, and you can see the shadow on the stones at the bottom of the stream in the sun." "Then you, have you fished it up and raised it?" Lord Yujie asked eagerly.

...
