All the nobles below sighed, and they were secretly glad that they didn't hold their breath and open their mouths, and they were still thinking in their hearts about currying favor with Princess Chaoyang.

Immediately afterwards, it was time for a group of noble ladies to scramble to perform their talents, and Shen Wan, known as the first talented woman in the Great Chu Kingdom, played a song as the finale.

Gu Xia felt that the sound of this piano was not as good as rumored, to the point that this song should only be in the sky. The title of the first talented woman in the Great Chu State is nothing more than that, I'm afraid it will be boasted.

Gu Xia, as the most noble princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, no one coaxed her to perform her talents. She herself doesn't like to be a conspicuous bag in front of so many officials.

The food of the palace banquet is exquisitely presented and the materials are precious, but the taste is a little bit worse, and it cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is definitely not as delicious as the food in the ecological park.

It was a wise choice for Gu Xia to bring the chef apprentices taught by the rivers and lakes to the capital.

After the palace banquet, Jiang Yi came to Gu Xia's side for the first time, "Xia Xia and her husband go home." ”

After Gu Xia entered Beijing, he came directly to the palace, and he should go back to his home to have a look, and nodded in agreement.

Although Chu Hao still thought that the royal sister could live in the palace, it would be convenient for the brother and sister to meet. But he also knows that he shouldn't monopolize the royal sister, after all, the royal sister has already married.

The couple returned to the Shoufu Mansion, Jiang Yi took Gu Xia around, and I have to say that the emperor is really good to the Jiang family, especially Jiang Yi.

Not to mention the first auxiliary mansion given by the emperor, the layout is also exquisite, carved beams and painted buildings.

"My daughter-in-law will accompany you tomorrow for her husband, our husband and wife haven't seen each other for a while, and we miss my husband very much." Jiang Yi's eyes burned, looking at the eyes of the prey.

Gu Xia understood too well, and what he had to do next was self-evident.

The next day, Gu Xia slept until she got up in the sun, but her whole body was sore and she couldn't get up.

Jiang Yi deliberately took a few days off to accompany Gu Xia.

A few days after the couple, Jiang Yi should also go to court, and he is more energetic than before.

Gu Xia entered the palace and brought a cook, Chu Hao saw that it was a handsome young man, and he didn't understand what the imperial sister meant?

He is not as good as Longyang.

"The surprise that the imperial sister said was going to give me, is the young man in front of me? I wonder what makes him different from ordinary people? ”

"Brother Huang doesn't know, he is an apprentice brought out by my second brother himself, and the dishes are a must, much better than the imperial chef in the palace of the imperial brother. I specially brought this person over to recommend this person to the royal brother. Gu Xia explained.

Chu Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "The royal sister is deeply heartfelt, and this cook is good." I will make you the imperial chef, and I will make imperial meals for me in the future. ”

The young man was stunned, and it took a long time to react and kneel down to thank him.

His ancestral tomb is smoking, he didn't expect to be able to enter the capital to develop, not to mention, he can also become an imperial chef one day. Isn't this an official?

The boy was taken away by the steward of the imperial dining room as if he were dreaming.

Gu Xia has also been busy in the past two days, she borrowed more than a dozen secret guards from the imperial brother, and these secret guards were arranged by her to go out to secretly investigate these noble girls in Beijing.

Gu Xia thought that the identity of the draft woman was not the most important, but she had to have both ability and political integrity.

Otherwise, the palace will not stop, but she has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, fighting between concubines and concubines, and even attacking the imperial heir.

Gu Xia couldn't choose that kind of vicious woman to enter the palace, which would make the harem miserable.

Chu Hao's secret guard was not a vegetarian either, and it didn't take two days to investigate everything the noble girl did in the mansion.

For example, the concubines of first-class officials abused their maidservants in the mansion, and were jealous of those maids who were better looking than her, so that the little maids scratched their faces and disfigured them.

There are also noble ladies who secretly teach and receive private things with others, and still want to enter the palace.

Even Shen Wan, the number one talented woman in the capital, robbed her talent of what should have been her sister-in-law Shen Yun.

This Shen Yun does not fight or grab in the house, low-key form, avoids the edge of her sister-in-law, and is willing to pretend to be ugly in order to protect herself, and the poems and songs she composed are all used by her sister-in-law to show off.

Shen Wan got the title of such a talented woman, but the people in the capital didn't know that this should be Shen Yun's name.

Shen Yun's mother is from a businessman, and her status is not high, so she is not as good as Shen Wan's mother.

Shen Yun's mother has been frail and sick for the past two years, and Shen Yun is just for her mother and her to have a foothold in the mansion, so Shen Wan snatched the name that should have belonged to her.

In addition, Shen Wan's mother was harsh on Shen Yun's mother and daughter, and this amount of silver couldn't even eat enough, not to mention that Shen Yun's mother had to take medicine to see a doctor.

Shen Yun will also secretly do some business outside to maintain the expenses of the mother and daughter. It can be seen that Shen Yun is also a smart woman.

Gu Xia learned the true face of the noble girl in private from the secret guard, and she especially had a good impression of Shen Yun.

She wanted to see this Shen Yun, so she ordered her subordinates to send invitations.

In addition, when Gu Xia first came to the capital, she was not very familiar with the noble girls in the capital, and she did not mean to make friends.

I just want to hold a tea party, and then contact and investigate those noble girls who don't have any big problems. Rather, I hope that the performance of these noble ladies will satisfy her.

Then directly take the noble girl she chooses as the preliminarily qualified show girl, and then the royal brother will personally select the one with eyes.

The Hubu waiter came to Gu Xia, and the Hubu waiter had a list in his hand, all of which were the daughters of the officials in the capital. Gu Xia glanced at it lightly, she had her own choice in her heart, "Lord Liu's vision is not good." The list of your show girls is not approved of by this palace. The palace has preliminarily drawn up a list in its hands, and Lord Liu is subject to the list of the palace. ”

The household servant has doubts, his list can be said to be carefully selected, and the most powerful women in the capital are all on it, I don't know why the eldest princess is not satisfied?

The head of the household didn't dare to ask, and took the list from the eldest princess with both hands respectfully, and looked at it carefully, the more he looked, the more confused he became.

"Most of this list are concubines, as well as the youngest daughter of Xiaguan, who has just reached Xuan, and is still a concubine born to Xiaguan's aunt, so she really can't get on the stage. The concubine of the lower official is gentle and virtuous, and the lower official is the most favorite. ”

After hearing this, Gu Xia's face turned cold, and he was obviously displeased, "Hmph, Lord Liu's eyes don't dare to compliment, Lord Liu is afraid that he doesn't understand your daughter-in-law." This palace has heard that Lord Liu's concubine is pampered and willful, and she is harsh on her subordinates. Lord Liu can even say virtuous and virtuous with a clear conscience. But the youngest daughter of Liu Dasheng is kind and gentle. Before the locust plague in the capital, Lord Liu's youngest daughter took the lead in donating a lot of property. Under her leadership, several noble ladies also bought food as jewelry and distributed it to refugees. ”

These people who helped the refugees at the beginning were all friends with Lord Liu's youngest daughter, and one of them was the daughter of Lord Shangshu's family and the only daughter of Shangshu's family. The status is the highest among the several people.

Lord Liu was shocked when he heard this, he was busy with government affairs all day long, and he didn't know much about the affairs of the house. I didn't expect Princess Chaoyang to investigate these private matters so clearly.
