Chapter 1 Draft
{The new book is delicate, it needs everyone's care, please order a collection~}
The scorching sun, the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, the show girl to be selected is more beautiful than the flowers, and a group of three or five strolls in the imperial garden, adding a little more color to the beautiful scenery in this garden.
Gu Wanning raised her hand and wiped the fine sweat oozing from the corners of her forehead with a silk handkerchief, but her eyes looked at the surrounding environment from time to time.
There was a yellow bird parked on the willow tree not far away, it had been standing on the tree for a long time, its eyes had been fixed on Gu Wanning's body, that silly appearance, it looked quite interesting.
Xiuyu naturally also saw the yellow bird, these days in the palace, she secretly looked at all those show girls, and her appearance can be compared with her own young lady at all!
Even the birds were attracted by the fairy-like beauty of their own lady, are you afraid that the emperor will not leave a brand?
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a master and a servant in front of him slowly approaching, Xiuyu hurriedly reminded: "Miss, the eldest lady of the prime minister's family is in front, let's avoid it." ”
This lord is not something that her young lady can afford to provoke, and the master's appearance has been jealous of many people, if you add Miss Zhang, it will be dangerous!
Gu Wanning's eyebrows were slightly curved, but she didn't say a word about Xiuyu's words.
It is rumored that on the day of the birth of the prime minister's daughter Zhang Yanran, the sky was full of sunshine, and a Taoist priest came to the door to approve the order, saying that this woman will be unspeakably expensive in the future!
How can a woman be precious?
That's naturally the queen of the palace!
So the name of the prime minister's concubine has been spread since she was six years old, and it is rumored that she is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a dance is even more captivating to the country and the city, and she is outstanding, and some people have guessed that she will be married to the prince when she is fourteen years old and become the crown princess.
For some reason, Zhang Yanran did not appear in the draft list when she was drafted three years ago.
Just when everyone thought that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was reluctant to let his daughter enter the palace as a concubine and wanted to marry on his own, the Zhang family did not spread the news of looking at each other for his concubine.
In the blink of an eye, it has been three years, and Zhang Yanran appeared in this year's draft list at the age of seventeen.
A smart person suddenly understood what Prime Minister Zhang meant, because there was already a rumor in the palace that this year's draft was mainly for the two princes to choose the princess.
Today, there are a total of twelve sons under the knee of the saint, and the eldest prince was born weak, and after getting married, he was directly crowned King An by the saint, but because he was not in good health, he stayed away from the court.
In addition, the crown prince and the two, three, five princes all have concubines, but it takes some time for the prince to build a mansion, and the three princes are still living in the prince's house, and the six princesses suddenly had a difficult birth a month ago, and one corpse and two lives.
Therefore, in this draft, the saint wants to choose a concubine for the two sons of the sixth prince and the seventh prince.
To tell the truth, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was very depressed in his heart, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the emperor to let his daughter marry someone other than the prince, after all, almost everyone in the capital knows that his daughter is born with a phoenix destiny, but three years ago in the draft, the queen has chosen a concubine for the prince, it is Qin Qiaolan, the daughter of the right minister, who has already entered the prince's mansion.
The crown prince already has a crown princess, and he is still the daughter of the old man surnamed Qin, he has pressed the surname Qin below all his life, and he can't tolerate his daughter being crushed by the daughter surnamed Qin.
So he set his sights on the position of the seventh prince's concubine.
The seven princes were born by the concubines, there was no favor in the middle palace, and the emperor almost didn't go except for the fifteenth day of the new year.
The concubines are in their thirties, and the emperor will also go to the palace of the concubine to stay for a few days every month, and, in addition to the crown prince, the emperor's favorite is the seventh prince, and the seven princes get the most praise when they are studying in Taixue.
The most important thing is that the Xia family from the noble concubine Niangniang is a general of Yipin Town, holding the power of 100,000 soldiers and horses.
On the contrary, the queen's mother came out of the Qi family's poems and books to pass on the family, the emperor sealed a Cheng'en Gong, and the children of the Qi family also served as officials in the court, but the official positions were too low, and the highest official position was only the queen's own brother, who was a farmer from the third grade, no way, this uncle likes to farm, and he is quite happy.
The status of the two princes' mother family can be seen from this.
As for the six princes, they were directly ignored by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, their mother died early, and they were not favored, and the six princes had nothing to show off, and the throne could not be turned on his head.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Gu Wanning, the reason why she wants to wait for Zhang Yanran here is because she has understood Zhang Yanran by seven or eight points in these days in the palace!
On the outside, Zhang Yanran is knowledgeable, beautiful, and generous in dealing with people, but in fact, she is a person who is not worthy of her life.
She entered the palace to run for the election, so she was afraid that a woman who was more beautiful than her would attract someone's attention, so she made a lot of small movements quietly, and Gu Wanning happened to have a jealous face.
Gu Wanning stood in place and quietly looked at the eldest lady of the Zhang Xiang family:
Wrapped in a pale pink gauze dress, the white gauze exposes the beautiful and clearly visible collarbones, the skirt folds are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hairband, the head is inserted with a butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs down on the chest, the thin powder is applied, and the red fridoor looming on the cheeks creates a delicate and lovely pure skin like petals, and the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind.
Just looking at the appearance, it is impeccable, no wonder everyone in the capital calls Zhang Xiang's daughter a beautiful woman, her face is absolutely brilliant.
Gu Wanning saw that people were getting closer, and casually pinched off a camellia with red and white spots, put it between her nose and sniffed it, the fragrance of the flowers was very faint, but it was extremely elegant, "Xiuyu, do you say this mandarin duck corolla is very beautiful?" ”
Without waiting for Xiuyu to answer, Zhang Yanran scolded: "Presumptuous! Who made you spicy and destroy flowers? ”
originally thought that her appearance was definitely the most beautiful among the show girls in this year, but she didn't expect to meet a strong opponent, she was trying to get Gu Wanning out of the palace, but she actually bumped into herself!
How could she not seize such a good opportunity?
Gu Wanning was frightened by this reprimand and took a few steps back, she and Xiuyu were already standing in a relatively biased place, behind the camellia bush was the lotus pond in the imperial garden, her feet were unstable, and people fell backwards towards the lotus pond.
can't quarrel, if you quarrel, you really have a feud, there is a family that is the daughter of the left minister, and she can't afford to be provoked by the daughter of a small official from the fourth grade.
If you want to give her a chance to do it, then she can only fall into the water by herself, I hope Miss Zhang will give her a little more strength, and you must not pity her delicate flower, and quickly drive her out of the palace!
Xiuyu, who didn't know her own plans, was frightened and panicked, and screamed, "Hurry up and save people, my young lady fell into the water, she can't swim!" ”
With the sound of falling water, the imperial garden was in a mess, and the palace maid had jumped into the lotus pond to rescue Gu Wanning, who was constantly fluttering, as soon as she was sent ashore, Xiuyu put her coat on her own young lady's body, and everything else was easy to say, don't let those eunuch guards see her young lady's body.
After Gu Wanning was sent away, Zhang Yanran secretly scolded "bad luck" and twisted her graceful waist and left with the maid.
