Zhang Yuqing was surprised in her heart, what about Master Kude? is not one of this group of fat-headed, big-eared, non-producing, swaggering monks.

"Are you looking forward to tomorrow too? Looking forward to being chosen as the crown princess? Stop dreaming! Zhang Yuying said sharply, "Master Kude won't choose you!" I've talked to them all, it's not the three girls of the Taiwei family, or the daughter of the prime minister's family, and there are also a few nobles and girls of the right age! I'm afraid that the daughter of the phoenix is out of these families! We're all here to be foils! ”

Zhang Yuqing asked, "What is the origin of that bitter master?" Why did he choose the daughter of the phoenix? ”

"Even Master Kude doesn't know, it's really from the countryside!" Zhang Yuying snorted, "Master Kude is a high-ranking monk with high mana, who travels all over the world and rarely returns to Beijing. The previous crown princess was selected by his senior brother Master Xuande, and the officials in the capital prayed for blessings and worshiped the Buddha, but they still died, and they didn't even have a child, and the crown prince was very angry, saying that Master Xuande was not allowed to choose, and he chose a person who was blessed and cheap, not the daughter of the phoenix who was auspicious at all. This time, I took a lot of effort to invite the master Kude who traveled all over the world out, and Master Kude must choose a real daughter of phoenix life! ”

Zhang Yuying said solemnly: "I am telling you this to warn you, don't have any illusions that you shouldn't have!" Tomorrow you must be cautious, you must not make a mistake, annoying the nobles, but it is a big crime to cut off your head! ”

"Got it." Zhang Yuqing said.

When it was dawn on the second day, Zhang Yuqing was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door outside. An old palace grandmother made a straight face, instructed Zhang Yuying and Zhang Yuqing not to wear fat powder on their faces, not to wear fancy clothes, and to bow their heads quietly in front of the master and nobles, and went out.

After a simple wash, the two went out and followed a group of ladies towards the Daxiong Hall of Huangjue Temple.

The hall was full of girls of appropriate age, not to mention a hundred people, under the gaze of several solemn-faced palace grandmothers, each girl lowered her head, did not dare to speak, and was silent.

The royal relatives also came.

Lu Wei followed behind Lord Duanshu and stood at the top left of the main hall, next to Duchess Zheng Guo and Jin Yongkang.

When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed, but in the public, Jin Yongkang wanted to fight with Lu Wei again, and he had to take care of the occasion and stare at Lu Wei stupidly.

Lu Wei looked at his nose and nose and heart, and he didn't look at Jin Yongkang from beginning to end, which made Jin Yongkang even more angry.

The relationship between the county lord of Duanshu and the Duchess of Zheng Guo was quite harmonious on the surface, and the two greeted each other with a smile.

"Look at these girls, they are all in good spirits!" Duchess Zheng Guo said with a smile, "I don't know who has this blessing and can be the daughter of the phoenix." The county lord has practiced Buddhism for so many years, so he must be able to see it, right? ”

Lord Duanshu smiled and said, "Mrs. Jin, if I can see who has the phoenix life, the presiding officer of this Huangjue Temple should be replaced by me!" ”

Duchess Zheng Guo whispered in the ear of the county lord Duanshu: "I heard that your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door has also come. ”

"They all act on the orders of the emperor, just like you and me." Lord Duanshu said.

Duchess Zheng Guo pinched the handkerchief and smiled, "But don't worry, your daughter-in-law's mother's father is only a seven-grade sesame official, and the daughter of the phoenix will not be able to take her turn!" When the selection of concubines is completed, you can continue to hire Lu Gongzi! ”

Duanshujun's face did not change, "Accept your auspicious words." ”

After choosing a concubine, she went to Zhang's house to withdraw from her relatives.

Can her own son still not understand? If it weren't for the Zhang family's behavior to the point that Lu Wei couldn't tolerate it, Lu Wei would not have resolutely proposed to withdraw from his family.

"Huh!" Duchess Zheng Guo sneered, but she was a former county lord, relying on the emperor's favor to have a face-saving relationship, and she was not really a relative of the emperor, so she dared to beat her son! Packed them up sooner or later!

A group of royal relatives and relatives were harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they had their own thoughts, and waited in the main hall together with the girl who came to choose a concubine.

It wasn't until the sun crossed the horizon and rose high that there was a sound outside, and a eunuch was singing, and His Royal Highness the Emperor and Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

The palace grandmother commanded the girls to kneel and kowtow, chanting long live Chitose.

Zhang Yuqing knelt down with the others, and got up after kowtowing. Zhang Zuozhen is a small official, she and Zhang Yuying are already in the back position, and they are not conspicuous at all in the crowd.

Outside the hall, a row of high incense thicker than a human arm was burned, and thousands of monks sat cross-legged on the open ground, singing Buddhist scriptures in unison, knocking on wooden fish, the scene was very grand.

Several great monks wearing robes and Buddhist beads followed the emperor and the crown prince into the hall.

The emperor's voice in the Ming Yellow Dragon robe was very majestic, and he asked with displeasure, "What about Kude?" ”

"The poor monk and brother will be here soon, and they will be there soon!" The big monk in the lead had a round face, said hurriedly, and asked the monk who followed to hurry up.

A short time later, an old man in a shabby burlap monk's robe sat on a futon and was carried into the main hall by several small novices.

The old man's face was covered with weather, his hair had grown more than an inch, and he was gray, and his monk's robe was patched with a lot of patches, and he meditated cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Zhang Yuqing only glanced at it, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the poor monk and junior brother are here!" The big fat monk in the lead breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xuande, is he your junior brother Kude?" The emperor was a little unconvinced, after all, there was too much difference between Kude and Xuande in dress. Kude is like this, and some people believe that they ask for food.

"Exactly!" Xuande stubbornly said, "The poor monk and junior disciple practice the path of asceticism, which is different from ordinary monks, and the mana is also stronger!" ”

The emperor's eyes were swollen, and he was obviously indulging in wine all the year round, and he looked like he had been hollowed out of his body, and said: "Let him see who is the daughter of the phoenix." ”

Xuande hurried to Kude and said a few words in Kude's ear.

After a long time, Kude opened his eyes, and several small novices carried him slowly in front of the ladies.

Everyone was nervous, and they didn't dare to come out, especially the girls of the legendary powerful family, they were all cautious, and until the last moment, no one knew who the flowers were.

Seeing that Kude had finished reading all the girls, he didn't say a word, neither said who was the daughter of the phoenix, nor who was not, many people became restless and exchanged ears.

At this time, Kude came to Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yuying, and motioned for the little novice who was carrying him to stop.

Lu Wei and a group of imperial relatives stood on the high platform of the main hall, seeing clearly, and suddenly their eyes widened.

"Two girls, look up." Kude spoke, and said the first thing he said after he arrived.

The audience was agitated, and no one expected that Kude would actually speak to the girl of the seven-grade sesame official family.

Duchess Zheng Guo even wrote her surprise on her face.

Zhang Yuying was already trembling with excitement until her mind went blank, and she raised her head mechanically.

Zhang Yuqing also raised her head, and unexpectedly found that there was a pair of bright and sparkling eyes on Kude's weather-covered old face.

Kude looked down at Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yuying, folded his hands, closed his eyes again, and said, "The auspicious person is among these two. ”

The crowd was in a commotion, no one expected that the concubine would be selected in the end, and it was actually the Zhang family, who was about to fall to the bottom, who won the peach of the daughter of the phoenix!

Xuande trotted over and shouted in shock: "Look again, don't be mistaken!" "These two women are standing at the end of the line, their family backgrounds are not in the stream, how can they be the daughters of the phoenix?

"Monks don't speak." Kude said in a deep voice.

The emperor and the crown prince also hurriedly walked over.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Zhang Yuying and Zhang Yuqing to stay there.

The bright yellow corners of the emperor and the crown prince have already caught her eye.

Zhang Yuqing's hands and feet were cold, and she was already prepared for the worst.

"Tell me clearly, which one is it!" Xuande asked again.

Kude said indifferently: "The poor monk's mana is low, and he can only see that the person who bears the air is among the two, and he can't tell which one it is." ”

Xuande was anxious, and shouted in Kude's ear: "Then you have to choose one!" It can't be that both of them are the daughters of the phoenix! ”

"There's only one Atmospheric Carrier." Kude's eyes were still closed.

Xuande asked again, "Which one is it?" The Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are waiting for the results! ”

"Naturally, the most talented one is the most blessed, and he can bring auspiciousness to Great Xia." Kude said.

Zhang Yuying's heart almost jumped out of her chest, her hands and feet were trembling, her face was flushed, and she stammered, "I, I, I'm talented!" She, she ......" Zhang Yuying pointed to Zhang Yuqing next to her, "She is from the countryside and illiterate!" ”

The county lord of Duanshu almost laughed out of anger, looking at Zhang Yuying's appearance that she couldn't get on the stage, like a poor person desperately holding on to the nest of wealth and wealth, and she could be regarded as understanding why Lu Wei mentioned to her several times that the two were not suitable.

Her son speaks tactfully enough, where is it inappropriate, it is clear that he doesn't look down on Zhang Yuying's virtue!

Xuande is unwilling, so many noble women in front of him are not the daughters of Fengming, how can he explain to those powerful people? He took so much money from the powerful!

"Look again!" Xuande said in Kude's ear, very anxious, "What if you look wrong?" ”

Kude no longer ignored Xuande, clasped his hands together, and sang "Amitabha".

The emperor and the crown prince looked at Zhang Yuying.

The thrilling turbulent feeling in Zhang Yuqing's heart subsided slightly, quietly took a step back, stood in the middle of the crowd, looked up at the emperor and the prince, and quickly lowered his head.

"This is the daughter of the phoenix?" The prince was a little surprised, and the daughter of the phoenix was not bad.

The emperor glanced at Zhang Yuying casually, nodded and said, "Kude personally identified it, there will be no mistake." ”

"Whose girl are you? What is your name? The prince asked with a smile behind his back.

When the prince had just been established, coupled with a high position and power, it was when a man was in the prime of life and had unlimited charm, Zhang Yuying's face was flushed, and it took a long time to find her voice and say: "I am a girl from the Zhang family, and my father is Zhang Zuozhen......"

Zhang Yuying was introducing herself, and suddenly thought that her father was just a seventh-grade petty official, and he couldn't get on the stage, so he hurriedly said: "My grandfather is the governor of politics......

The emperor frowned and asked suspiciously: "I seem to remember that the governor of politics does not have a surname." ”

Sweetheart Theatre:

Zhang Yuying: I'll just say that I've been different from others since I was a child, my bones are strange, I am the only koi heroine, and I have a 100,000 Mary Sue halo~~~ Not only does Lu Wei love me to die and live, but the prince has fallen under my skirt! Hey, it's also a distress to be too popular with men!
