This is a celebration of the whole world, and the people are cheering one by one.

When Lu Bochu passed by An Qien's side, his gaze swept gently over her.

An Qien lowered her eyebrows slightly, and when he walked by, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Bochu's back again, and for a moment her mind was full of pictures of him asking her why she didn't want to be a princess.

An Qien immediately stopped his thoughts and warned himself not to fall into such undeserved emotions.

There were three maids standing beside her, and you and I were talking about it.

"The prince is so powerful, he can actually buy food from Qiguo and come back."

"No wonder I haven't seen the prince for the past two days, it turns out that I am doing this big thing."

"The slave maid still thinks that the prince is in a bad mood when he is urged to marry, where to go to the mountains and rivers to dissipate his mood."

It was Bai Lu who said this, she had heard some of them from Agui, and the letters sent by His Majesty, each of which urged the prince to complete the marriage as soon as possible.

An Qien's heart was stunned, and he suddenly seemed to understand something, no wonder Lu Bochu suddenly lost his sense of proportion and said something like that to her.

It turned out that she was forced to have no choice, so she went to the doctor like she was sick and rushed to the doctor to be the princess!

An Qien thought to herself, maybe she was easy for Lu Bochu, and she could completely ignore it if she only gave a name and married back, but if he married someone else, then he must fulfill his duties as a husband.

She suddenly felt funny, she still wanted to get into it, it turned out that she was thinking too much.

At this time, Bai Lu whispered again: "I heard Agui say that if the prince doesn't look for the princess again, His Majesty will give him the princess of the frontier and his relatives." ”

Minghua: "The prince has always resisted marriage, but the prince should indeed get married here." ”

An Qien turned around and went back to the shop, and the three maids saw her sullen expression and hurriedly shut up and worked.

Lu Bochu brought all the grain to the open field, and instructed the officers and soldiers to count the number of people, and each family had a bag of grain, and the disaster grain allocated by His Majesty was also about to arrive, and the grain in the hands of the people could be reached until the autumn harvest, and this urgent need could be regarded as a solution.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Agui gave the letter in the palace to Lu Bochu, who was originally very happy because he had solved the problem of food for the people, but after seeing the content of the letter, his face sank.

Immediately returned to the study to write a reply, Emperor Changshun said that he would marry the princess of the frontier to him, this time it was not to discuss with him but to order, Lu Bochu asked Emperor Changshun to give him a month, if he did not choose a suitable princess in these two months, he would marry the princess of the frontier.

After the letter was written, Lu Bochu asked people to send it out quickly.

At the same time, the old lady of the Zhao family also received a letter from the queen mother in the palace, she is the old man next to the queen mother, and she was able to marry the Zhao family because of the queen mother, and the old lady Zhao was very grateful to the queen mother.

In the letter, the Empress Dowager asked Mrs. Zhao to help King Xian find a candidate for the princess, Mrs. Zhao did not dare to be sloppy at all, the girl from a big family in Jingyang, she knew a few knowledgeable and virtuous people, but for the sake of safety, she had to think carefully.

So she informed the prince of his intention to choose a princess in Jingyang to the family of the head and face in Jingyang.

Lin Yanyun naturally knew the news, she was very excited, her beauty was one of the best in Jingyang.

Zhu and Lin Zhehua were more concerned about this matter, and immediately asked Mama to re-teach Lin Yanyun the rules and female workers.

As long as Lin Yanyun learns the rules and female workers almost well, then the probability of her becoming a princess is very high.

The daughters of other big families also practiced female workers diligently at home, and Mrs. Zhao gave them a week's time, and those who were interested in being elected princess after a week went to Zhao's mansion to participate in Mrs. Zhao's assessment.

Lu Bochu also knew about this, because it was the Queen Mother who ordered Mrs. Zhao to do it, so he acquiesced to the fact that at most, no one would choose that day.

This matter naturally reached An Qien's ears, and she smiled when she heard it, and hoped in her heart that Lu Bochu could find a virtuous and virtuous princess who was the right person.

The pharmacy has begun to operate here, and she specially invited a medicine seller to look at the shop, and she will also bring three girls over during the day on weekdays.

At noon, Zhao Yan came and told her about the day of the assessment, and Mrs. Zhao hoped that An Qien would also come over to make suggestions.

Although she is a concubine, she is also from a large family, and she can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which left a very good impression on Mrs. Zhao.

Old Madam Zhao spoke, she didn't want to save face with the old man, so she immediately agreed......

Soon it was the day of the assessment.

An Qien came to Zhao's mansion early and talked and laughed with Mrs. Zhao for a while, and Zhao Yan also interjected from time to time.

Old Madam Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and glanced meaningfully at An Qien and Zhao Yan, the two had been in frequent contact during this time, and they must have been familiar with each other.

She opened her mouth and said: "Qien, the lean porridge you made with Yan'er has won the favor of many people, and there are still people who miss your porridge, this matter You two cooperate very well, few people are so tacit." ”

Zhao Yan said gently: "The main thing is that Mrs. An knows the ingredients, and the porridge can be fresh and fragrant." ”

An Qien smiled lightly: "It's over." ”

Mrs. Zhao talked about the selection of the princess again, and she said thoughtfully: "The young ladies who come here today are all daughters with heads and faces, and there are fifteen girls, these girls all want to enter the palace, but how can the palace be so easy to enter." ”

Zhao Yan thought seriously and said: "Grandmother, the prince will come over to choose today, this is also a matter of looking at the edge, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Old Madam Zhao lifted her eyelids and glanced at Zhao Yan meaningfully and tentatively: "Yan'er, you are not too young, when will you marry the head of the Zhao Mansion, grandmother is restless for your business." ”

Zhao Yan subconsciously glanced at An Qien with his spare eyes, Old Madam Zhao had long urged him to express his heart to An Qien, but he was stunned and didn't have the courage to talk about it.

Zhao Yan replied a little stiffly: "Grandmother is concerned about fate. ”

Mrs. Zhao can see it, and when this kid takes the initiative and the daylily is cold, she looks at you like An Qien and asks tentatively: "Qien, you are the best at reading people, do you think my grandson can still find a good daughter-in-law." ”

An Qien replied meekly: "Zhao Gongzi is as gentle as jade, and only a person will definitely be able to find a virtuous and virtuous wife." ”

Old Madam Zhao knew that this was a scene, and she could also see that An Qien had a good feeling for Zhao Yan.

At this time, the maid came in and reported: "Old lady, the girls are all here." ”

Old Madam Zhao got up, and Yan's mother immediately stepped forward to hold her arm: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

An Qien and Zhao Yan followed behind and followed the old lady to the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, fifteen girls stood in two rows, the first row had a better family background, and the second row had a normal family background.

Lin Yanyun and Yu Lan were both standing in the first row, she was taken aback when she saw An Qien, and she couldn't understand when An Qien had such a good relationship with Zhao Fu.

Today is a very important occasion, Lin Yanyun looks well-behaved, unlike the usual eyes that always squint at An Qien when she sees her.

An Qien saw Yu Lan smile at her slightly.

At this time, Yan's mother fifteen girls said: "The first test of the girls is to make tea, and the tea sets are ready, please here." ”

Yan's mother made a gesture of please, and the girls all went to the tea set next to them and started to make tea.

The fifteen girls were all very skilled in making tea, and it was obvious that each of them had put in the effort.

Mrs. Zhao sat on the main seat and drank tea slowly, watching the girls make tea.

After the girl's tea was cooked, Yan's mother gave the old lady a tasting and scored them one by one.

The highest score in the first round was Yu Lan, seven points for boiling tea, and the highest was ten points, Lin Yanyun scored four points, and she was as anxious as ants in a hot pot, she thought that she was better at cooking tea than Yu Lan, and secretly poked and scolded the old lady in her heart to find the old lady blind.

The second round is the female workers, first embroidery, and then a stick of incense, and then the girls have presented their masterpieces.

After watching it with An Qien, Mrs. Zhao gave the girls a score.

The last round is Fuqin, one person and one song, everyone is good, but since it is an assessment, there must be a winner or loser, after Mrs. Zhao scored, the team was rearranged according to the score.

Lin Yanyun's score was in the middle and lower, and he couldn't stand in the first row and was arranged in the second row.

The top three are Yu Lan, the daughter of the Wang family and the daughter of the Li family.

The three of them were at the forefront.

At this time, the maid came in and reported: "Old lady, the prince is here." ”

The fifteen girls were very nervous when they heard that the prince was coming, but they all came against the fate of the family.

Lu Bochu came.

The crowd bowed on their knees.

The moment he saw An Qien there, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he was a little uncomfortable, was she so close to Zhao Fu? Such a big thing, Zhao Fu actually let her come over!

Mrs. Zhao said respectfully: "Lord Wang, these girls have all been assessed, the top three are standing in front, and the back ones are all ranked according to their scores, the lower the score is in the back, please choose to see if there is a suitable one." ”

Lu Bochu said to Mrs. Zhao gently and politely: "Thank you for your hard work, old lady." ”

Old Madam Zhao: "This is what a concubine should do, and it is a blessing for a concubine to be able to share the worries of the queen mother and the prince." ”

Lu Bochu glanced at the fifteen girls roughly, and then looked at An Qien seriously and asked, "Which girl does An Niangzi think is suitable for this king?" ”

An Qien was asked so abruptly by Lu Bochu, she was stunned for a moment and then replied naturally: "Back to the prince, Qien thinks the top three are good, and the key depends on whether it is in line with the prince's heart." ”

Lu Bochu looked at Zhao Yan again and asked, "What does Zhao Gongzi think?" ”

Zhao Yan was also shocked for a moment, and then pretended to naturally hug his fists and replied: "Back to the prince, I think that the top three Miss Yu is quite suitable for knowledge." ”

Yu Lan has the best family background among the top three, and he is also the most beautiful, and his answer is also the most stable.

Lu Bochu looked at Yu Lan thoughtfully, Yu Lan's cheeks were slightly red with shame, she was indeed a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth.

Old Madam Zhao also echoed: "Miss Yu's reputation in Jingyang is also first-class, if she can serve the prince, the concubine thinks she will do her best to serve very thoughtfully." ”
