Yesterday evening, Feng Die's mother, Feng Zhang, went to the Guogong Mansion with some gifts to ask the lord of Loulan County for the Wuwei Su family, but was refused.

"I thought the county lord would agree this time." Wang Jin'er hid behind the curtain and said.

"Who's to say it's not, it's enough for me to think three times." Zhen Ping'er said with a wry smile.

Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er have served Miss Six since they were children, and they know that Tang Mei never says what she likes, she only gives hints.

If the other person can't grasp her hints, she gets angry.

I used to be angry with my parents or siblings, but now that I've grown up, her temper hasn't changed, she just changed the object of her anger.

How many times did she want to refuse? No one knows, maybe she thinks the heat is not enough, and she feels that Su Bottle has not shown the enthusiasm she should have.

To put it bluntly: Tang Mei didn't feel that Su Bottle was pursuing her, but she seemed to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, she felt that her face was damaged, and she couldn't help murmuring: "Hmph, you actually fooled me." But as long as I don't agree, you don't want to leave. In the future, I won't take the initiative to let you propose marriage, see if you mention it yourself. ”

Just when the sixth lady was angry, Su Bottle came to Qinxiang Xiaozhu.

In the light, Tang Mei sat arrogantly on the couch, thinking that Su Bottle was here to propose, but Su Bottle said, "Return the gold ingots to me." That's mine. ”

What she was hoping for did not happen, but came to her to settle accounts. The huge psychological gap made Tang Mei so angry that she had no good words to say in her anger, and said sarcastically: "If it weren't for me to lead, would you be a common citizen qualified to enter the Chengfeng County Lord's Mansion?" You don't even have the qualifications to walk in, so you're embarrassed to say it's yours? ”

Su Bottle said: "If you speak like this, I can give you half of it." But my credit cannot be denied. After all, you can't get it without me. ”

Tang Mei said: "I won't give it to you, what can you do?" ”

Su Bottle said: "The lord of Loulan was born in a wealthy family and has received a good education, how can he be a scoundrel like a street splasher? In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible. ”

……

Anning Palace, Qianyang Palace.

Emperor Zhao Tian didn't know where to go, and Empress Tang Zhao reviewed the folds on behalf of the emperor. It is worth mentioning that the memorabilia from the military department and the official department should be stored separately, and the emperor approved it, and Tang Zhao was not allowed to interfere.

Queen Meng came to Tang Zhao and saluted: "Empress Yu, the people of the Meng clan and the Ximen clan are already waiting at the Mingde Gate. ”

There were four servant girls who grew up with Tang Zhao, one died of illness the year before last, and now there are Wang Meng, Lin Xuan, and Li Jie left. Li Jie was responsible for staring at the Empress Dowager Han and went to the Changqiu Palace. Lin Xuan is in charge of the queen's daily life, and Wang Meng is the one who runs errands. It's like Han Ju next to the Empress Dowager Han at the beginning.

"Let them in." Tang Zhao put down his pen and said.

Not long after, the people of the Meng clan and the Ximen clan came to the Anning Palace.

There were a lot of people who came, but Tang Zhao only let Meng Ti, Ximen Xuanyue, and their mothers, Meng Qian, the princess of Jingguo, and Zhao Yuji, the princess of Shengde, the princess of Chu, enter the main hall.

Princess Shengde is the younger sister of Emperor Tiande, the aunt of Emperor Wanlong, and the eldest princess of the dynasty. According to the etiquette of the Great Liang, the eldest princess is exempt from kneeling in front of the emperor. When she saw the queen, she just bowed slightly out of politeness. Tang Zhao had to stand up and return a half-salute.

I still remember that a few days ago, Feng Ganshi took Feng Baochuan to Qianyang Palace, how cautious and humble he was, and Tang Zhao was not the queen at that time. But today, the people of the Meng clan and the Ximen clan came to the Qianyang Hall to meet the queen, but they held their heads high and did not lose their grandeur.

Tang Zhao took a closer look at Meng Ti and Ximen Xuanyue, although their temperament was noble, their appearance was not amazing.

The appearance of these two people, if they are seen by Su Bottle, they will not be strange. Looking at the photos of the imperial concubines of the Qing Dynasty, there are few people who are amazed. When the emperor chooses a concubine, he generally chooses the forces behind the concubine, not the concubine herself.

After everyone sat down, Tang Zhao said: "Entrusted by the emperor, I have the honor to review the chapter on behalf of the emperor, and I am busy before the case, so we won't talk politely." ”

Concubine Qian glanced at Princess Shengde, and Princess Shengde Zhao Yuji said: "The state affairs are big, and they should be important. ”

Concubine Qian said: "What the princess said is very true. ”

Tang Zhao nodded and said: "I prepared three questions, wrote them in the volume, and asked the two girls to answer them with a pen, I don't know if it will be an obstacle?" ”

Princess Shengde Zhao Yuji narrowed her eyes: "My family Yue'er has been studying since childhood. Although I can't go to school and get rich five cars, I still know the words. ”

Concubine Qian smiled and said, "My family Ti'er, the same. ”

It can be seen that the eldest princess is a little unhappy. Since there has been a beam, there has not been such a hassle in choosing a concubine for the gate valve. Still need an exam? The girls selected by the two families are naturally the best of the best, and you still need to take the test? The previous queens didn't have so many things like you.

Seeing that the old princess was displeased, Tang Zhao didn't pay attention to it, and still sent the paper scroll down, and then sent the four treasures of the study room for the two girls to answer.

As soon as the scroll landed on the small table in front of Ximen Xuanyue, Princess Shengde snatched the scroll and unfolded it to look at it. are three questions that resemble nonsense. For example, what is the importance of serving the emperor? What is important to the peace of the harem? What is the importance of educating the prince?

Princess Shengde snorted coldly, put down the scroll, and said to Ximen Xuanyue: "You can write seven words to answer these three questions, and focus on what the emperor thinks." ”

Ximen Xuanyue listened to her mother, picked up the pen and brushed it to finish writing. But on the other side, Meng Ti answered the questions one by one, and wrote very seriously. His mother, Concubine Qian, sat firmly on the side and did not interfere.

handed over the volume, Tang Zhao looked at the volume, and after a while, he put down the scroll and said: "The two girls are really brilliant and well-cultivated, and they can be called virtuous." The girl is so good, this is the result of the education of the two concubines. The two families can send such a good girl, there is no reason to refuse, I will definitely recommend it to the emperor. ”

It is worth mentioning that Princess Zhao Yuji, the princess of Chu State, is not in good health, perhaps because she has a bad temper. And that Chu Guogong Ximen Zaichi is also unconscious, he loves this and that, and he almost makes the princess angry to death.

In other words, the princess is not the kind of unreasonable person, according to the standards of the national prince, she has selected two side concubines and nine beauties for Ximen Zaichi. Each is a dignified and elegant lady. But Simon Zaichi doesn't like it, he likes those demons. Gave birth to a whole bunch of children.

What's even more hateful, I don't know what kind of wind Emperor Zhao Tian smoked, he said to Ximen Zachi, if Princess Shengde is dead, I will give you the seventh sister Jianchun Princess Zhao Jinzhi to renew the string.

Let the niece renew the strings for the aunt? Not to mention the difference in seniority, let's just say that my aunt is not dead now, how can you Zhao Tian be embarrassed to say such a thing?

It's a pity that I didn't see Zhao Tian today, otherwise I would have to count him down.

Seeing Tang Zhao like this, Princess Shengde said: "Don't make a mistake about it, the Ximen clan of the Meng family chose to send the girl into the palace and must become a concubine, this is written in the "Taiping Alliance", not the credit of the queen's recommendation. And after my daughter entered the palace, she was not subject to the queen's control. Of course, I don't allow my daughter to conflict with the queen for no reason, after all, they all serve the emperor. It is the duty of a concubine to provide peace and harmony for the harem and to relieve the emperor's worries. ”

The princess's eyes flashed, and she looked at Meng Qian, the princess of Jingguo.

Meng Qian said: "What the princess said is extremely true, everything should be based on the emperor. ”

……

How Tang Zhao dealt with the two concubines in the palace, let's not mention it for the time being, just say that Tang Mei was so angry that she fell on the couch.

That damn Su bottle actually "snatched" the gold ingots, and he looked indignant and angry.

The more the county lord thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and said in his heart: It seems that he doesn't have me in his heart at all, and I am not as good as an ingot!

Su Bottle walked out of Qinxiang Xiaozhu with ingots in his hand, but his steps were a little hesitant.

Paralyzed Tang Mei on the couch, this was not Su Bottle's original intention. To offend her is to put the Su family in danger. Isn't it too impulsive to do it yourself?

She came up with an evil fire and wrote a letter to her brothers who were officers in Chang'an, and the Su family was going to be unlucky. Her elder brothers, the warlord sons who held military power, were equivalent to princes in Chang'an.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was inappropriate, but Su Bottle didn't want to go back and return the ingots to her now, so she rolled her eyes and had an idea.

"Ping'er, you come."

When Su Bei was robbing money upstairs just now, Zhen Ping'er was standing downstairs. Although she hadn't seen it in person, Zhen Ping'er had already heard the sound upstairs and roughly guessed what was happening. Su Bottle whispered to Zhen Ping'er, and Zhen Ping'er frowned and walked over quickly.

Su Bottle said: "I guess the county lord is angry again, this is not good." ”

Zhen Ping'er frowned and smiled: "Childe still knows that it's not good." ”

Su Bottle said: "You secretly told her that I want money not only for myself, but also to buy her some valuable gifts." I'm poor after all. ”

Zhen Ping'er was slightly embarrassed.

Su Bottle saluted and said, "It's bothering Sister Ping'er." ”

Zhen Ping'er hurriedly returned the salute: "Childe doesn't have to be polite to the slave family, Ping'er also hopes that Childe can get in touch with the county lord, then let Ping'er try it." ”

Su Bottle left, and Zhen Ping'er came upstairs. At that time, Wang Jin'er was the only one in the house to accompany the county lord, and the county lord's face was pale.

Zhen Ping'er smiled and said: "Hey, that Su Gongzi is really interesting, some things are embarrassed to say to the county master, but he secretly told the slave family." ”

Tang Mei looked coldly: "What did he tell you?" ”

Zhen Ping'er said: "Some time ago, he said that he wanted to buy some decent gifts for the county lord as a marriage proposal. But he had no money, so he was always distressed. Finally, at the Chengfeng County Lord's Mansion, he won the reward of King Yu with a poem, and he was happy to use the ingots to buy gifts for the county lord. ”

Hearing this, Tang Mei half-turned around and asked, "Did he really say this?" ”

The whole bottle said: "Of course, how dare the slave family deceive the county master?" It's just that for some reason, it's been two days, and I haven't seen him buy any gifts for the county lord. ”

Tang Mei turned around and muttered, "What did he buy?" The ingots are here. ”

The county lord thought back to what had just happened.

Could it be that he was in a hurry to snatch the ingots in order to propose?

Quietly, an evil fire disappeared. But she still couldn't be happy, she felt that Su Bottle's appearance of robbing money was too rude, and she didn't know how to pity the jade.
