Chapter 64: Plan Ahead
Yun Xi hadn't gotten an answer from the green sleeves yet, Ma Jia, who had always been moody, actually came to her Qi Yunxuan in person, and saw the old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and the things that Yunxi had been determined about for many years actually gave her a blow at this moment.
She was sixteen years old at this time, and she was on the waiting list, and Yun Qi and Yun Lei were already safe.
"Master Hui'an is right, the three girls are blessed, and they will wait for the draft all of a sudden. Ma Jiashi looked Yunxi up and down, looking at her gorgeous and delicate little face, her eyes were full of ambition.
Ma Jia's tone was joyful, which could be felt without words, and it was not difficult to see from here how deep her expectations for the draft were.
Yunxi laughed twice, she really didn't know how to answer, she was bent on believing that she would be exempted, so she didn't put her mind on this at all, and she was thinking about how much silver she could earn with the fleet. Now it's good, the draft came unexpectedly, and she is still in a state of confusion.
Ma Jiashi can come over in person, that proves that this news is true, but this draft is a trend, or something happened she doesn't know about the accident? You must know that due to the relationship between the three feudatories, there was no draft for several consecutive sessions, during which many concubines from palace maids were favored and put on the throne, and now it has changed suddenly, I don't know if it will be her life or someone else's life when the time comes?
After the news of the draft was announced, the entire capital seemed to be lively all of a sudden, even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Yun Lei is still very envious of Yunxi's ability to participate in the draft, not that she wants to enter the palace, but that the draft is equivalent to a standard of the Eight Banners Show Girl, and she has a certain orientation to their marriage, and those who have not experienced it will never understand the suffering of the candidates, and those who have participated in the election sometimes envy those who have not participated in the election but have a safe and smooth life.
"Third sister, what's wrong with you? Recently, I see that your spirit is getting worse and worse, is it because the big sister is embarrassing you?" Yun Lei sat opposite Yun Xi, holding a snack in her hand, and asked while eating.
In Yun Lei's opinion, the only thing that can bring harm to them in the entire mansion is the big house, and the only one who can bully them is Yun Qi, plus the matter of the draft, she wondered if Yun Qi was unwilling and secretly ran to find Yunxi's bad luck.
"No, she is now busy dealing with the second young master of Hesheri, thinking about whether she can get through some connections and let her participate in the draft. Yunxi supported her cheeks with one hand, and she actually admired Yunqi's hard work.
Historically, those who have passed the draft can be re-selected again, either by someone in the family, or by some grace, anyway, it will not be achieved for no reason.
Although the Suo Yuluo Mansion is there, it can no longer be compared with other family nobles, plus there is no one in the palace, if you want to achieve this, unless you give up your great fortune to impress the nobles, but Baturu has always been not generous, especially in the past year, it has changed a lot, and he is even more stingy than before, so how can he give everything for Yunqi.
Yun Qi also felt obediently, in the past nearly a year, the second young master of Hesheli has been coaxed into obedience, what do you want, Yun Xi thought that at this point, the marriage between the two could be decided, who knew that the palace suddenly ordered the draft, and at this moment, Yun Qi was afraid that it would immediately resurge.
"How is this possible? Even if the Second Young Master Hesheri is the elder brother of the Empress Yuan, he can't control the palace!" Yun Lei said with a stunned face.
Yun Lei is right, even if the second young master Hesheri is the elder brother of the Empress Yuan, he can't control the palace. Don't forget, there is not only the crown prince in this palace, but also the concubine Hesheri. As long as he has all his strength to help Yun Qi, Yun Qi's wish is not impossible to achieve.
"There are exceptions to everything, how stupid is this person?" Yunxi actually wanted to know that this second young master Hesheri could Yunqi do that!
"It's not for sure, after all, this second young master Hesheri is really good to the eldest sister, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is obedient. When Yun Lei said this, she also sighed with emotion.
Although this woman is looking forward to meeting her beloved, it is when the king is not married and the concubine is not married, and vice versa, it will not end well, especially for the concubine.
"It's true that I'm obedient, but if the eldest sister really wants to treat others as fools, then she will have to suffer. "Yun Xi doesn't think that the second young master Hesheri can do this alone, as long as he dares to use the power that should not be used, it will definitely alarm him Ama Kabula or his uncle Suo Etu, and then the second young master Hesheri will be unlucky, and Yun Qi will not be much better.
Don't think that the superiors are all broad-minded, in fact, sometimes the superiors are more despising life. The life of the second young master of Hesheri may be important to the Hesheri family, but Yunqi's life is really nothing in the eyes of these people? It's just that she always feels very important, so she keeps dying to prove her existence.
As the draft day gets closer and closer, Yunxi's days are getting harder and harder. Although she learned the rules in her previous life, others didn't know it at all, and she couldn't speak well, so she had to learn it again from scratch, which provoked Mama Xu who was invited to praise her several times.
Ma Jiashi was very happy about this, and he also paid more attention to Yunxi, as if no one in the entire Suojuluo Mansion could be more important than Yunxi's candidacy, which made Yunxi a little worried. But in the dead of night, when she thought about it carefully, she found that there seemed to be no concubines surnamed Suo Yuluo in the harem of the saint today, which was a little more reassuring.
On this day, Yunxi still followed Mama Xu to learn the rules as usual, and during the period, she also took into account some taboos in the palace.
Mama Xu is a person who is not smiling, but she is quite principled in her life, and Yunxi has a good impression of her, so she is also quite preferential to her to a certain extent.
In the previous life, the rules of Yunxi were just a smooth match, and she couldn't remember who Mama was, but in this life, she had the attention of Ma Jia's family, and she should be the best, but she didn't think it was too interesting. Others praised her vigorously, thinking that she would have a great future, but Mama Xu reminded her vigorously by her side that in the palace, she must be cautious in order to go safely and return safely.
Mama Xu looked at Yunxi, who had already learned the rules but was still practicing seriously, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a smile slightly. This little Gege in front of her is delicate and soft, and she can't bear hardship at first glance, but in fact, she is very resilient, and whenever something goes wrong with her words and deeds, as long as she points it out, she will change it and will not do it again in the future. With so many noble personalities, only she taught her the most easily.
Mama Xu has never been a talkative person, but these days in the house, she has gradually noticed the situation of this little Gege, who seems to be valued, but in fact, she just wants to use her to get more. Mama Xu has seen a lot in the palace over the years, even she herself has been used like this, it may be such a feeling of sympathy, which makes her feel closer to Yunxi, and the locust will talk to her from time to time about some taboos and examples in the palace.
In fact, Mama Xu knew in her heart that these were long beyond the scope of her professor, but feeling Yunxi's gratitude to her, she felt that she was just moving her mouth, and she couldn't do anything.
"Third sister, third sister, something is wrong, something is wrong!" Outside the door, Yunlei people arrived before they arrived, and a trace of panic could be heard between the words.
Yunxi glanced at Mama Xu, got up and went out to greet her, and when she saw Yun Lei who was running over in a hurry, she couldn't help but reach out to support her and said, "Second sister, why are you so flustered?"
Mama Xu saw that Yunxi did not avoid her, but she still consciously stepped aside, lowered her head, and didn't hear anything.
Yun Lei grabbed Yun Xi's sleeve, and said in an eager tone, seemingly flustered but with a hint of joy: "Third sister, do you know? As you said, the eldest sister is playing with fire this time. The Hesheri family sent someone to discuss the marriage, and when they heard that Lord Suo Etu personally sent someone, Amuqi and Amu didn't even dare to say anything, and the eldest sister wanted to make trouble, so Amu stopped her. ”
When Yunxi heard this, he was happy, "The marriage can be decided, it is said that if you are just a concubine, there should be nothing to prepare!"
Yun Lei nodded, and laughed out loud, "It's true that there is nothing to prepare for being a concubine, but in the end, people still gave Suo Yuluo Mansion face, let Yun Qi be a concubine, and even set up wine." ”
"The concubine has been making trouble for so long, and the eldest sister has got these two things. As I said earlier, we don't want to spend so much energy in our house, let alone Hesheri House. Don't look at her as unlucky today, but if she is obedient and coaxes the second young master Hesheri, maybe there will be good days in the future, but if she is not vigilant and stirs up the wind and rain, she will suffer in the future. Yunxi's tone was indifferent.
"But I think with my big sister's temperament, this is still a lot of trouble. Yun Lei stuck out her tongue, obviously not believing that Yun Qi would be honest.
"It's her own business whether to make trouble or not, as long as she doesn't have the energy to calculate me, I don't care about the rest. Yunxi straightened his sleeves and said softly.
But having said that, Yunxi felt in his heart that things would not pass so easily. Yun Qi has always been a nest character, she didn't dare to do anything to the Hesheri family, but she would definitely do something to her? After all, according to her nature, she couldn't see that other sisters were doing better than her.
Just like in the previous life, Yun Qi was worried that Prince Gong would marry her, so he impersonated, and even calculated her reputation and innocence, in this life she was able to run for election, but she could only be a concubine, such a comparison, if she didn't have the slightest idea, Yunxi would admire her heart.
"The third sister is right, the eldest sister can't see that we are better off than her, and now that she is going to be a concubine, she will definitely not watch us get any benefits, so let's really be more careful in the next days." When Yun Lei said this, she was very uncertain, and even she began to think about whether to go to her uncle's house for a few more days and come back when Yun Qifa got married.
Yun Xi looked at Yun Lei, who was awake, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, she wasn't very kind, she just didn't want to be Yun Qi's stepping stone again.
In the past, Yun Qi had always been a high-minded appearance, so this time she let her clearly know that no matter how good the identity of the concubine was, she couldn't suppress her and Yun Lei.
