The eldest lady looked at a half-masked woman lying lazily on the beauty couch with embroidered begonia flowers. Even if it is half covered, it is difficult to resist the beautiful appearance.

A pair of charming eyes are like silk, as if staring straight at the painter through the picture scroll. The small face is slightly emaciated by the point, which adds a point of delicateness. The green silk was scattered behind him at will, taking advantage of the snow-white complexion. A jade arm holds a fan, and a ring of jade bracelets hangs.

"This is Mrs. De, the daughter of the Ning family, the Duke of Rongguo. His father was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he had protégés all over the court. Before Concubine Chen, everyone thought that the queen or this person gave birth to the second son Bo Heng. He is easy-going and strict. He is proficient in poetry, painting and music. ”

Aunt Lan unfolded another portrait under Mrs. De, a man with eyes like stars and eyebrows like sharp swords. "This is the second son of the emperor, Bo Heng, sixteen years old, good at riding and shooting, good character, and decisive action."

I nodded thoughtfully, I seem to have heard Yun Zhi mention this second prince, he is a good person. The appearance is also very handsome, and he looks tall and mighty.

"This is Mrs. Xian, Fang's family, the daughter of the Huizhou Mansion."

Mrs. Xian holds a lotus flower in her hand and stands by the pool. The body is slightly petite, with moon-white clothes, a little round mole in the center of the forehead, and a pair of autumn pupils under two clusters of curved eyebrows.

"Gentle in character and gentle in dealing with others. He likes Jiangnan food, reads poetry and books, and has no children. ”

The eldest lady took a break and took a sip of tea.

"The third is Mrs. Shu, Yu's family, the sister of Dr. Yu Xin. Straightforward and generous. But his health is not good, and he takes medicinal stones all year round. did not make friends with Mrs. De, and gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Zhongjin. ”

As I approached the portrait, the lady was smiling brightly and her face was like a bright moon. Sitting upright on a mahogany circle chair, the powder blue bijia is covered with a white inner skirt, and the cuffs are rolled with a circle of orchid embroidery. Although her appearance is not so beautiful compared to the other two ladies, she is thoughtful and very delicate.

And her son Zhong Jin jumped on the horse, showing that he was burly. A spear is not sassy, a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses. "Zhongjin, the third son of the emperor, likes martial arts, and sometimes he often competes with your father. Your father once praised him, and he might go on to do great things in the army. Xiaoqi, have you remembered? ”

I nodded, "Well, I remember." ”

The eldest lady also came to the portrait with me, pointed to the last one, and said, "This is Mrs. Liang, the daughter of the lord of the Baiyue Kingdom, Yinshi." She married His Majesty because of His Majesty's alliance with the Baiyue Kingdom, and the Baiyue Kingdom sent troops to conquer for His Majesty. ”

"Madame Liang has a good temperament, and some palace people once stole her palace property to sell, and after being caught, she should be executed according to the law. But when she heard that the palace people were going to support her sick and weak mother, she burst into tears, exempted herself from punishment, and sent someone to heal her, which is a good story in the palace. ”

I couldn't help but feel respect when I looked at the woman in the painting dressed in a foreign costume, dressed in dark blue, embroidered with regular and unfamiliar totems and patterns.

On his head he wore a large silver crown that glowed white. Beneath the crown of the head is a face with deep facial features and eyes like a deep pool. Although she didn't smile, she was as stubborn as Aoxue's red plum, and her two long eyebrows made her a little more heroic.

"At the beginning, Mrs. Liang was a foreign woman, and Baiyue was also known as a wild place, so she actually made a lot of enemies in the palace. But because of the theft, everyone began to praise other virtues, in addition to Mrs. De, now Mrs. Liang also has a certain status in the palace. ”

At the same time, she also made friends with other ladies, and gave birth to Ji Lin, the fourth son of the emperor, who did not like to socialize with people, but was favored by Emperor Yuan. Originally, she also had a daughter, but unfortunately died of illness. ”

The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh after saying that, as if she was heartbroken by the loss of Mrs. Liang's daughter.

I can't help but sigh that Mrs. Liang has good character, but she has to go through the pain of losing her daughter, and God is always unfair.

The fourth son of the emperor, Ji Lin, inherited his mother's beautiful handsomeness, and unlike the tall and burly other princes, he seemed to be thinner. There was a cold sense of alienation in his eyes, and his black hair was as thick as his black hair.

The eldest lady waved her hand, and Aunt Lan put away the scrolls one by one. I was slightly puzzled, "Does Your Majesty only have one concubine and four ladies?" The eldest lady nodded, "Yes, there are no other concubines." ”

I recalled that night when Emperor Yuan complained that he only had four sons but no daughters, "But didn't Your Majesty say that he has four sons, but the four ladies here only have three princes." ”

The eldest lady walked to the front of the desk, pulled out a scroll and slowly unfolded it, and I approached to take a closer look.

"This is the eldest prince Shuyu, his mother was the Park family who died three months before His Majesty ascended the throne, and it is rumored that he has a bewitching appearance and dances in Kyoto, and he is from Buyeo country. Because her mother came from a humble background and was a dancer of the Sile Workshop, she has never been canonized. With that, the eldest lady handed me the scroll.

The person in the painting seems to have a thousand sorrows between his eyebrows, and he wrinkles slightly. Although the expression on his face is gloomy, it can't cover his handsome appearance, his facial features are three-dimensional and just right, his thin lips are slightly pursed, and he seems to have lost patience with the portrait, and it can be seen that his mother should be a great beauty.

"Shu You is often ignored in the palace because of his biological mother, and little is known about him. But there was an old woman who went out of the palace and said that he had a strange personality and didn't like places where there were many people. He is a good drinker and can play the musical instruments of Buyeo country. ”

The eldest lady said this, and put the scroll away. I looked at the handsome face that was slowly closed, and I became curious about this great prince.

The eldest lady sat back in the circle chair, looked at me thoughtfully, and said, "Xiao Qi, this is the person you will often see in the future, do you remember everything?" ”

I came back to my senses and bowed slightly. "Remembered."

The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, there are two other people, both of whom you have seen." A county lord who is the same as you, is the daughter of Emperor Yuan's uncle Hong Xuan, the county lord of Lingxi, Zhou Shuning. She had entered the palace three years ago, and she said to the outside world that she had entered the palace to educate her. There is also Liang Yunzhi, who is good friends with you. ”

I let out a sigh of surprise and felt upset.

Zhou Shuning was favored by the princess because of his old age, and he was famous for his arrogant and domineering personality, and he went to the banquet when he was a child because he wanted the white hosta on my head.

I am not allowed to say that it is my mother's relic, but she still does not give up and snatches it. was naughty when I was a child, who didn't care what was a lady or not. The two of us had a hard fight, and each of us had a blue nose and swollen face.

Although afterwards, the two adults said that they were just childish and ignorant, and laughed it off. But I never got along with her. I want to laugh when I think of her grinning teeth when I beat her. Just stay away.

"Sister Yunzhi is also going to enter the palace?"

"Well, Madame de asked her to go too. Her father was a student of Mrs. De's father's disciple, and now the official is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and has been reused by the emperor, and the future official fortune will be prosperous all the way, perhaps Mrs. De is considering the candidate for the imperial concubine for her son. You and Yun Zhi are good friends, and you can take care of each other in the palace. ”

I can't help but laugh at the thought that Sister Yunzhi may become the imperial concubine, with her temperament, she may become a happy couple.

The eldest lady looked at me with a smile on her face and waved me to sit down. Aunt Lan served tea, which was a cup of good Biluochun.

"After your father suppressed the Yundu rebellion, Yundu also sent his second son to Yanqi to be a proton. It's just that we can't hear any news about this foreign world, so Xiao Qi, you have to pay attention to it yourself. ”

Proton? It seems that my life will be really colorful in the future.

After the introductions in turn, it was almost dinner time, and the eldest lady said that she wanted to get to know the officials and commanders in charge of each palace and department, and my mind filled the entire palace for a while.

I had dinner at the eldest lady's place, and the eldest lady told me that I would start learning palace etiquette tomorrow, and this time it would be more rigorous than the last time I went to the palace for a banquet, and there were many etiquettes to learn. I'm tired today, so let me rest as soon as possible.

Back in my Mirror Hill Pavilion, I was so tired that I collapsed on the couch before my dress faded. I secretly complained in my heart, and the bold words I said to my father in the morning have disappeared by three points at this moment, this is just the beginning, and I want to retreat.

Zhihong changed my clothes, shoes and socks for me, and excitedly told me more wild history anecdotes that she had inquired about.

But I was still sleepy, my eyelids were fighting, and I fell into a deep sleep after a few muffled mmmmm

The faces of everyone in the portrait flashed in the dream, and I don't know how God will arrange my acquaintance and entanglement with them, I just hope that I can live a year or two in peace, and then return to Daddy's side.

With the reward in the palace, the day of entering the palace is also set for fifteen days, and I, the county lord, seem to be really certain. Today, Yun Zhi also came to my house and complained to me about entering the palace.

"I don't know why I want to enter the palace, and even if I want to refuse a will, I can't do it." Yun Zhi held his face on the table, his puffing appearance was very cute, and the steps on his head swayed with her impatient expression. "Qixing, now we have really become brothers."

I handed over a mung bean lily drink to cool off the heat, and the fine crushed ice was bubbling with gusts of cold, offsetting the summer heat a lot. "Sister Yunzhi doesn't want to enter the palace either, why, but you told me that there are the most rare treasures in the world in the palace."

Yun Zhi stirred the spoon helplessly, watching the ice melt little by little. "But after entering the palace, I don't do as I like, everything has to be careful everywhere, everything is cautious, and my mother also said..."

Looking at her hesitant expression, I suddenly became amused. "Oh? What did Mrs. Liang say, is it possible that you want to be an imperial concubine! ”

Liang Yunzhi was blushed by my words, and he was anxious to reach out to cover my mouth. I couldn't help laughing, dodging and dodging. Yun Zhi was ashamed and angry, pointed at me and said, "The girl who hasn't left the pavilion yet, she is not ashamed." I am using these words to arrange me, and when Ming'er enters the palace, I will ignore you. ”

I put my arm around her shoulders, and the fan in my hand flatteringly fanned Yun Zhi's flushed face. "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I apologize to you. "Yun Zhi sneered, don't turn your head and don't look at me." What did you say about Mrs. Liang just now, tell me about it? ”

Yun Zhi snorted softly again, twisted arrogantly, and I hurriedly increased my efforts to fan the wind. "My mother said that His Majesty is going to choose concubines for the princes, and only you and I are currently in the palace, maybe there will be women who will enter the palace in the future. On the surface, it is said to accompany the concubines, but in fact, it is to observe the behavior of each woman who enters the palace. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, "Then you don't want to be the princess, so you don't want to enter the palace, could it be that my family Yunzhi has a favorite son?" ”

Liang Yunzhi glanced at my face with a wicked smile, "Yes, yes, you are also the one who wants to enter the palace." The best, you can be the crown princess, and I will follow you to eat fragrant and spicy food. ”

The friendship of the women in the boudoir is the most simple and full of longing, and I am not annoyed when I listen to her jokes, and I laugh and make a mess with her.

"But I still think it's good, although we don't know what the intentions of Your Majesty and Madame De are, but since the matter has settled, let's be safe when we come! It's all about entering the palace to see the world, after all, the woman who can enter the palace and raise under the knees of the concubine is the only one. ”

Liang Yunzhi sighed deeply when he heard my words, "Yes, let's go and see." Besides, you and I are together, there is always a response, and you don't have to think so much. ”

I looked at Yun Zhi's porcelain-white cheeks, and I felt a lot of relief in my heart. There's a long way to go, and I'm not going to be alone.

After Yunzhi returned home, Daddy called me to travel with him and the eldest lady, and Brother was not at home because he went out to the banquet, and Brother made fun of me for being the county lord in the past few days, which made me angry with him for several days without talking.
