The next day, as Qin Liumo said, the palace sent a painter to the door to paint a portrait of Miss Qin.

The housekeeper personally welcomed the painter into the house, and after entering the inner courtyard, there was a special big girl to lead, who was originally directly into the Ji Yueju, who knew that the personal maid next to the lady said that the young lady was enjoying the flowers in the garden. Before the eldest girl could explain to the painter, the painter said very humbly that he could wait for the young lady to finish enjoying the flowers before painting, or go directly to the garden to paint a portrait of Miss Qin.

The painter's attitude is different from the humility of the past, which lady in the past did not want to marry into the royal family and enjoy the wealth of the family? Therefore, when the painter came to the door, he was busy dressing up and giving enough red envelopes, hoping that the painter would paint his own lady more beautifully, so that he could be selected and become a royal daughter-in-law.

And this time, even if the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion politely stuffed the red envelope, but the painter didn't dare to accept it at all, who in this imperial capital didn't know that this young lady of the Qin family would definitely become the princess.

The big girl has also seen the scene, and thanked the painter neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said that the weather is too hot, and the painting in the garden is afraid that the young lady will suffer from the heatstroke, so it is better to wait for the young lady to come back and paint again.

Qin Liusu didn't mean to deliberately hang the painter, but after a tea time, she returned to Jiyueju.

At first sight, I was stunned by the artist. Everyone in this imperial capital knows that the pearl of the Qin family's palm is delicate, so she stays in the ancestral house to recuperate, and few people have seen what Miss Qin looks like.

The painter thought that Miss Qin was a sick man, but he didn't expect that it was such a beautiful woman. Dressed in a lotus-colored long skirt, lined with a slender figure, jade face and red lips, calm and quiet, a little more beautiful than the ladies I have seen before.

However, the corners of Miss Qin's mouth were slightly hooked, as if she was smiling, and her eyes were full of light, which was different from ordinary ladies. The painter couldn't help but stare blankly, wondering what the difference was.

It wasn't until the maid behind Qin Liusu coughed lightly that the painter realized that he had lost his temper, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his shame, "Miss Qin forgives her sins, and the minister has lost her temper." ”

The voice came from the head, like a gold stone and jade colliding, crisp and warm, "It's okay, Master Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

Qin Liusu sat dignified in front of the window, and let the painter paint. Looking at the painter's preoccupied appearance, Qin Liusu thought to himself that this painting could be regarded as a primary selection.

Qin Liusu's eyes flashed in front of the man's firm eyes, and there was that sentence: You are destined to marry me. She subconsciously rejected this possibility, even if she had decided to be the daughter of the Qin family, but she still rejected marrying the prince in her heart.

Her subconscious told her that if she couldn't break the relationship with marrying Chu Jiechen and Chu Jiechen, she would definitely be doomed. Is there any way not to affect the Qin family, and not to marry Chu Juechen?

The procedure for choosing a wife for the prince and choosing a concubine for His Majesty is naturally different, and His Majesty's selection of concubines is to summon the daughters of each family of appropriate age to enter the palace. The prince's choice of wife is the noble daughter of the family whose character is determined by His Majesty and the queen, and some noble daughters who are located in the fiefdom are called to Beijing, and then send painters into the house to paint portraits of various ladies, which is the primary election.

If there is no problem, the queen will hold a group banquet and invite the nobles to the palace, so as to further observe the character of the daughter to be selected and then make a selection.

In the days of waiting for the invitation to the queen's banquet, Qin Liusu stayed in the middle of Jiyue to familiarize himself with the affairs of the imperial capital, and did not go out. During this period, Chu Lian, the Fourth Highness, specially sent someone to the Qin Mansion to deliver something once, which was also sent by Qin Liumo. Although it was not a precious thing, but some fresh fruits given by the palace, this move was obviously different in the eyes of those who cared.

Compared with the four highnesses' fanfare of sending things, Chu Jiechen did not move. Qin Liusu still knew about Chu Juechen's thoughts, and he never disdained these grandstanding tricks.

Three days later, Qin Liusu received an invitation to the Qunfang banquet personally sent by the female official in the queen's palace, rubbing the invitation with red and gold borders, Qin Liusu smiled elegantly and decently, "Thank you for the queen's love, Liusu is very happy." ”

Although the female official was a celebrity beside the queen, she was not arrogant at all, and her expression was respectful, "After Niangniang saw Miss Qin's portrait, she has always sighed that only such a woman and the prince can be called a good daughter and daughter-in-law in front of the jade steps. It was the mother who asked the slave to tell the young lady, and at the group banquet, she waited for the young lady's demeanor. ”

This is said very politely, and it is quite connotative, it can be seen that the queen really likes her as a royal daughter-in-law. After the female officer finished speaking, she raised her head cautiously and looked at Qin Liusu's face, as if she wanted to see what she was thinking.

However, in the face of such a lift, Qin Liusu's face did not change for a moment, she still smiled lightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy about this at all, but said with a smile: "Niangniang lifted, Liusu didn't dare to be, everything had to obey His Majesty's holy judgment." Gently handing the invitation to the side, the maid hurriedly took it with both hands, turned around and put it in the tray behind her.
