Seeing that Xu Xunyi looked unwilling to ask, Ning Rongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but when Xu Xunyi didn't notice the abnormality just now, his expression suddenly relaxed, and said, "What the master said is, thank you for your concern."

She didn't know that looking at her action, Xu Xunyi's heart was tight. Ning Rongzhi's appearance is obviously something to hide. Otherwise, he would not have shown such a relaxed look after finding that things were not exposed at this time.

After realizing this, Xu Xunyi's brows immediately wrinkled imperceptibly. But he didn't want to startle the snake, so in front of Ning Rongzhi, he just looked unremarkable, and said, "It's okay, you are my apprentice, I should care about something, this is a natural thing."

After saying this, he said, "Since you want to recuperate, it is better to rest and rest, and I will leave." While speaking, Xu Xunyi packed up the things around him and left.

This is exactly what Ning Rongzhi wished. She first pretended to stay for a while, and when she saw that Xu Xunyi had made up her mind and wanted to leave, she didn't insist anymore, but sent him out respectfully.

After sending Xu Xunyi away, Ning Rongzhi's nerves completely relaxed. There were so many things that happened on this day that her brain didn't have time to react. Panic and fear, as well as doubts, were tangled together, making Ning Rongzhi lose his strength.

At first, lying on the bed, she could still think of some things in a daze, but after a while, because of the complete relaxation of her spirit, Ning Rongzhi couldn't think of anything, and only fell asleep.

On the other side, what Ning Rongzhi didn't know was that Xu Xunyi left her place, and his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyebrows were full of suspicion.

There is no other reason, Fang Cai Ning Rongzhi's every move looks very suspicious, and it is no wonder that Xu Xunyi is suspicious. I don't know for what reason, Xu Xunyi always felt that Ning Rongzhi was a little strange.

Although it is not a great change in temperament, there is a clear difference compared to the past. Not to mention that Ning Rongzhi's eyes were dodging, obviously looking like he was hiding a secret.

What's going on next to the lake? Xu Xunyi's doubts tightened, but he couldn't find any way to crack it. It was not good for him to rush forward to ask Ning Rongzhi, so as not to cause complications. Seeing Ning Rongzhi's appearance, he obviously didn't want to say more, if he asked again, I was afraid that he really wouldn't be able to ask anything.

It's better to bury this matter for the time being, and leave only suspicions. When the time is right, ask again, and maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort.

made up his mind in his heart, and Xu Xunyi was no longer entangled. He was not a sentimental person in the first place, so although he felt a little doubtful and felt that Ning Rongzhi was a little suspicious at the moment, he would not keep this matter in his heart and let himself be troubled.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's take one step at a time, don't be in a hurry. Finally, he glanced back at Ning Rongzhi's closed door, Xu Xunyi sighed silently, and left in his own words.

And the events of that day still had a slight impact on Ning Rongzhi after all. On the one hand, it was the anger and panic of hearing such secrets in the palace that he heard about it, coupled with the anger and panic of feeling deceived by Du Qinyue; On the other hand, it was also because of the day when it fell into the water.

It's winter after all, and even if it's early winter, how good can it be. On the second day after he came back, Ning Rongzhi began to burn intermittently, feeling a chill.

When he encountered such a thing, even if Xu Xunyi had many doubts in his heart, he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he just put those things aside and took care of Ning Rongzhi wholeheartedly. Under his careful care, Ning Rongzhi gradually recovered, and his body and bones became stronger.

With Ning Rongzhi's gradual recovery, the days passed little by little. Soon, it was time for the concubine selection ceremony after January.

After a whole month of preparation, the concubine selection ceremony officially began. This is the first time that the new emperor has chosen a concubine, which can be described as very grand. Along the way, the palace is full of lights, and it looks so lively.

Not only that, but the noble ladies sent by the ministers also came to the palace. These concubines are all beautiful women, and their looks are outstanding. Today, I have carefully prepared for this concubine selection ceremony, and it is even more refreshing to watch.

Among the candidates for concubines, Du Lianghuan is particularly conspicuous. In terms of appearance, Du Lianghuan is not outstanding, but she is dignified and generous in temperament, and today she wears a white dress with ink and splash color, just standing in one place at will, she is extraordinarily quiet.

Not to mention that it happened to fall for the first time since winter today, and the sky and the earth were white. Du Lianghuan stood in it, as if it was fused together with heaven and earth, a painting that was completely natural.

With such a temperament, even if Du Lianghuan's appearance is not outstanding, as soon as he stands in the crowd, he is definitely a landscape. However, this scenery is not the kind of arrogant and aggressive beauty, but it is extraordinarily gentle, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it.

What is as striking as Du Lianghuan's temperament is her identity. Many aristocratic ladies noticed Du Lianghuan, but after carefully identifying it, no one was stunned to see her identity.

At present, it is not yet the time for the concubine selection ceremony to really begin, and the atmosphere is not particularly tense. Therefore, several well-known ladies couldn't help but gather around and talk about Du Lianghuan and chatter.

I only heard a young lady say, "Who is this young lady, how do I feel that I have never seen it before." Following her instructions, the young ladies looked in Du Lianghuan's direction one after another, and shook their heads one after another.

With Du Lianghuan's temperament, if he had seen it before, he would definitely have an impression. But when I saw her at this time, I didn't have any impression, which proves that I really haven't seen her before.

Among them, after all, there are still people who have eyes and ears, ears and sensitive information, and after carefully identifying them, they can't help but exclaim: "Isn't this the distant relative of General Du's family?"

As soon as they heard that someone understood the truth, everyone stopped suppressing their curiosity and rushed forward one after another, waiting for the person to reveal the mystery.

Surrounded by such a large group of people, the man also felt particularly useful, and enjoyed a good time to whet everyone's appetite, and then said: "This is a distant relative of General Du's family, presumably because General Du has only one daughter, who has been sent to the palace, but he is unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he sent his distant relatives to come."

As soon as they heard that this was the case, everyone couldn't help but have some realizations. There is no daughter of the right age in the minister's family, but he is unwilling to give up this opportunity, and it is not a small number to let his distant relatives come, this matter is not new to say, there is nothing to worry about.

Therefore, after a while of discussion, the crowd lost interest and left. And Du Lianghuan was still standing in the distance, a place a little far away from everyone, standing quietly, as if he didn't know anything.

But did she really not know anything? Naturally not. Du Lianghuan knows all this. Even at her distance, she couldn't hear the individual on the other side clearly, but she could roughly guess a few points.

- Most of these people are curious about her identity, and they are talking about this matter. For this matter, Du Lianghuan had already expected it, so he was not surprised.

If they are willing to discuss, let them discuss. Du Lianghuan lowered her head and covered her face, she didn't care about this. After all, her only purpose is to enter the palace smoothly and get ahead.

With such an idea, Du Lianghuan didn't care about the eyes of others even more, and only stood by herself, everyone saw her like this, and even felt that Du Qinyue had a dignified and generous temperament, which attracted the attention of many people.

Putting aside how Du Lianghuan attracts people's attention for the time being, on the other side, there is also a woman who is particularly outstanding in the limelight. This person is not someone else, it is Yin Shangshu's daughter, Yin Nanyao.

If you say that this Yin Nanyao is also a bit famous in the capital. She can be regarded as a popular candidate for concubine selection this time. There is no other reason, it is precisely because of Yin Nanyao's prominent position.

Yin Shangshu is a first-class official today, Yin Nanyao was born as his daughter, and naturally grew up pampered since she was a child. Not to mention that Yin Nanyao has known Shen Huo since childhood, and this time, everyone who was able to choose a concubine successfully had her by default.

is different from Du Lianghuan's gentle and dignified appearance, Yin Nanyao's beauty is obviously a little more aggressive. She was born very beautiful, and today she deliberately wore a red dress, standing there, like a landscape that can be painted.

Such a flamboyant beauty can't help but attract many people to stop and watch. And everyone understood that Yin Nanyao's status was noble, and it was too late to stammer, and for a while, many people gathered around Yin Nanyao.

Seeing so many people gathered around him, Yin Nanyao was naturally very proud, but he didn't get carried away. Because she clearly understood the purpose of her coming today.

Yin Nanyao came today, and the ultimate goal was to be able to successfully choose a concubine and enter the palace. If it's because standing here today is too ostentatious and dislikes others, then it's not good. When you enter the palace, why worry about no one?

Yin Nanyao's mind was racing, and she quickly figured out the joints. Therefore, she is no longer nostalgic for the high-minded appearance in front of her, but takes a more long-term view.

"Sisters, let's not gather together. Seeing that this concubine selection ceremony is about to begin, this matter is very important, so let's prepare early. With that, Yin Nanyao smiled slightly and took the initiative to walk into the distance.
