Chapter 426: The Draft
Tengger said slowly, "Find an excuse, the princess is away from Beijing for the time being, and when she needs to contact Xiao Baimian again, she will come back when she wants." ”
Luo Yunshuang's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!" That's it! Let's just say that my cousin from other places is going to get married soon, so come and pick me up to live for a while before she gets married! ”
On this day, Zongzheng Xinghui came to pick up Luo Yunshuang to go out to play as always, and he saw the person who "Han Ru's relatives unexpectedly came to pick her up".
"So, Ruyi wants to leave the capital?" Thinking that Luo Yunshuang was leaving, Zongzheng Xinghui was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed her hand, and said with a reluctant face, "You are gone, what should I do?" Ruyi, I am reluctant to let you go. ”
Luo Yunshuang also looked reluctant, and said affectionately, "I am also reluctant to have a son, it's just that I grew up with my cousin since I was a child, and my feelings are extremely deep, and now she has found Ruyi Langjun, and I am also happy for my cousin, but once we get married, our sisters can't be as casual as before, since my cousin sent someone to pick up, it is a deep friendship, how can I brush her off a piece of kindness?" Don't worry, Childe, I'll stay at my cousin's house for a while and I'll be back. ”
"Are you really coming back? Not lying to me? Zong Zheng Xinghui was still very reluctant, he originally wanted to propose to Luo Yunshuang as soon as possible, but this matter must be agreed by his father, and he had to find an opportunity to tell his father about this matter first. Unfortunately, my father was very busy during this time, except in the palace, in the regent's mansion, or in the study, he didn't even have time to talk to his father.
Although his father is the commander of the Praetorian Guards in the capital, he does not control all the Praetorian Guards, but one-third of the power is in the hands of the emperor Dugu Yeli, and this morning he just learned that his father had taken back the one-third of the rights yesterday, and it was not until yesterday that his father was considered to have mastered all the Praetorian Guards.
He only now understands what his father is busy with during this time, since he has now taken back his rights, after the handover and rectification, he will probably be free, so he can't wait to tell Luo Yunshuang today, and when his father is free, he will tell his father about this matter, and then use the fastest speed to propose!
During this time, he and Luo Yunshuang were again, and the longer he stayed, the more he felt that he couldn't leave her, and he couldn't wait to marry her!
But he didn't expect that as soon as he came today, before he could say anything, he learned that Luo Yunshuang was leaving the capital, how could he be reluctant?
"How could I lie to you? Now that the two brothers are in the capital, and with such a good errand, our family is determined to live in the capital, and I just go to my cousin's house to live for a while, where can I not come back? This is my home! ”
Luo Yunshuang felt that if she changed to a woman, she might be with Zongzheng Xinghui and be happy for a lifetime, no matter how confused Zongzheng Xinghui was before, at least she was sincere.
"In that case, it would be better to ...... Why don't I go with you! Zong Zheng Xinghui said.
Luo Yunshuang hurriedly excused herself, "No need, I'll be back soon, besides, that's my cousin's house, it's not convenient for you to go!" ”
Zongzheng Xinghui naturally knew that this was inappropriate, and he was just talking. instructed Luo Yunshuang to pay attention to safety, and sent her on the road.
After Luo Yunshuang left, Yewang and Tengger diligently invited Zongzheng Xinghui to drink, the two of them were easy to be trusted because of their hearty and honest appearance, and they were good at dancing with long sleeves, which made people confused and confused unconsciously, plus Zongzheng Xinghui was bent on marrying Luo Yunshuang as his wife, so he was naturally very enthusiastic about the two future uncles, and he drank heartily at a meal, and Zongzheng Xinghui even regarded the two of them as his confidants.
After Luo Yunshuang's carriage and horse left the small courtyard where he lived, he went around the south of the city and went directly to the palace.
At this time, Luo Yunshuang had already changed back into her dress as a prairie princess in the carriage, wasn't Dugu Yeli busy with the draft? How could she not intervene in such a lively matter?
Dugu Yeli has no interest in the draft, but he understands that the reason why Dugu Yeli has to be drafted is to use the harem to trip him, how can he not "cooperate"?
Zhang Zhihe selected sixty show girls from the folk all stood respectfully in front of the gate of Chuxiu Palace at the moment, waiting for the selection of the emperor and the queen one by one with great nervousness and expectation.
Nangong walked past every woman with a graceful and dignified manner, if possible, she just wanted to drive all these women out of the palace, and not a single one was left! But no, the regent is still watching, not only can she not show the slightest dissatisfaction with these women, but even from these women, she has to choose the best to stay in the palace and compete with her for the holy favor, what makes her even more angry is that the regent also designated some of these women to be candidates, who must stay with the emperor, among them, there is her sister, Nangong Youruo.
At the beginning, the regent's preferred candidate for the queen was Nangong Youruo, but Nangong Youruo didn't agree anyway, saying that there was already someone in her heart, and no one would marry except that person, but who knows how she changed her temper now, and even took the initiative to ask to enter the palace as a concubine!
Nangong Yourou can guess her sister's thoughts, the reason why she didn't agree to marry the emperor before, maybe it was because she had someone else in mind, but the last time she got married, the civil and military officials brought their wives and daughters into the palace to participate in the celebration, and the younger sister must have seen the emperor's dragon face that day, so she fell in love at first sight, so she insisted on entering the palace.
If she can tolerate other women, it is because she knows that the emperor will not fall in love with them at all, and with the support of the regent, no woman can take her place. But Nangong is different! She is the most satisfactory candidate for the queen of the regent! Now that she has entered the palace, she will definitely compete with herself for the rear position! Compared to her, I lost from the beginning!
selected a few women who were favored by the regent, and a few inconsequential women were selected at random, a total of eight people.
Queen Nangong said softly, gracefully and generously, "Sisters, whether you used to be the daughter of a general or the daughter of a bachelor, you will stay in the palace from today onwards and serve the emperor together with the palace." But there is one thing I hope you sisters will keep in mind that it is your responsibility to be dedicated to the emperor in the palace, to live in harmony with each other, to be tolerant, and to open up branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible. Okay, it's not too early, sisters, kneel down to receive the canonization decree! ”
The eight women who were selected to be retained knelt down one after another, only to hear the eunuch singing loudly, "...... The lord of the county, Nangong Youruo, is a virtuous concubine and gives Xianghe Palace; Zong Zheng Xingyue, the daughter of the commander of the guard, was forbidden to be the concubine of virtue and given to Yongning Palace; Seal ......"
Everyone was listening attentively to the holy decree, when they suddenly heard a clear voice suddenly interject, "Your Majesty, why are you going to canonize this princess?" ”
Everyone was shocked, and they turned their heads to look, only to see a woman in red standing on the edge of the blooming flowers not far away, although this dress is colorful and flamboyant, but the style is the normal style of a Qianlu woman, just looking at the clothes can not see her identity, but everyone still knew her identity at the first time, because the mask on her face that shimmered in the sun was too representative!
As soon as she saw Luo Yunshuang, Nangong Yourou's heart suddenly sank, and she secretly said no, although she was very confident that the emperor would not be tempted by those newly selected show girls, but this woman ......
Nangong Yourou sensed the crisis very keenly and accurately, no, she must not let this grassland woman come in!
Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Luo Yunshuang fiercely, and scolded, "Phoenix, you are so presumptuous!" For the sake of you being the princess of the grassland, my Qianlu court has been tolerant of you again and again, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and dare to disturb my Qianlu Emperor's concubine selection ceremony! Someone! Arrest this disrespectful woman for me! ”
The surrounding guards rushed over, and just as they were about to make a move, they heard Luo Yunshuang shout, "Who dares!" ”
A cold gaze swept over, and the guards involuntarily stopped, waiting for their master's orders.
Nangong Yourou was just about to speak, but Luo Yunshuang said coldly, "The queen mother is so majestic!" It's just that when you speak, you have to talk about the evidence, this princess is here to participate in the emperor's concubine selection ceremony, how dare the queen mother frame me out of nothing? ”
"You participate in the concubine selection ceremony?" Nangong Yourou sneered, "Princess Phoenix really doesn't know the rules of my Central Plains Imperial Court!" The concubine selection ceremony does not need foreign ministers to watch the ceremony, and those who participate in the ceremony are all girls to be drafted! Why didn't the palace know that the Phoenix Princess was also among the show girls? ”
"Really?" Luo Yunshuang pretended to look surprised, and then said, "That may be the queen's lonely and unheard of!" This princess is here to be a concubine for the emperor, your majesty, I don't know what kind of concubine you plan to give me! ”
Luo Yunshuang crossed Nangong Yourou, walked in front of Dugu Yeli, and asked with a smile.
Dugu Yeli didn't know what she meant, frowned and asked, "Phoenix, what are you messing around!" ”
"I'm not messing around! I have already told my brother, I like the emperor, and I want to stay in the Central Plains for the emperor, when my brother left some time ago, didn't the emperor take the initiative to leave me? What, did the emperor regret it? ”
Luo Yunshuang said, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she looked extremely sad.
Dugu was stunned for a moment, and then said unhappily, "I left you because you were injured in order to save me, and I left you to recuperate, not to leave you as a concubine!" ”
