Baochai would never have thought that his best sister was turning her elbow out at the moment.

At this time, she had changed into a dress and makeup, and appeared in the main hall of the Shangyi Bureau.

There were more than a dozen people clustered around her, all of whom were female officials of the Shangyi Bureau, the Shanggong Bureau, and the Gong Zhengji.

Today is the critical moment for the selection of the princess, and there are a large number of women who came to watch the ceremony, and those with high grades can stand in the hall, and those who are lower can only wait outside the hall.

At this moment, these women are complimenting Baochai from all aspects, and if they don't want money, they don't want money.

Jia Mu was also in the crowd at the moment, but her mood was extremely complicated, and she was more filled with disappointment and worry.

The person sitting here to preside over the selection of concubines should have been her own granddaughter, but at this time, it was the Xue family girl sitting upright.

Thinking of Zhu Jinghong returning to Beijing, her little grandson or her life is not guaranteed, her heart is as uncomfortable as a knife.

It stands to reason that she should go and intercede with Baochai in person, but she feels that she has no face in front of this girl, so she doesn't dare to rashly mention the former dirty things, so as not to have the opposite effect.

When Jia's mother was worried, Baochai was the same, but the two were worried about different things.

Accustomed to listening to the flattery of the people around her, Baochai has been able to automatically block it, and at the same time think about other things, and will respond to these female officials in the intervals.

The new rumors in the city made her tremble now, and she was even more worried than before, because it was aimed at Zhu Jinghong.

In today's imperial city, there is already a living King of Qin, and if there is a new "King of Qin", it will be a lot of fun...... Baochai thought secretly.

"Princess, it's time, it's time to invite the show girls in!"

"Hmm!"

All affairs only need the female officials to be busy, and Baochai only needs to sit in the hall as a background board.

According to the system, even if the princess is selected by the county king, the queen needs to preside over it herself.

Now that the queen is in poor health, the crown princess should preside over it, but Yuanchun has to take care of the prince, so this errand was assigned to Baochai.

Zhu Jinghong is mighty, and now Baochai is presiding over the selection, and it is really too conspicuous to say that he and his husband are too conspicuous......

Thinking of the rumors in the city, it really makes Baochai feel like a pins and needles.

While she was afraid, the ladies had already appeared outside the temple.

This time, a total of twenty people entered the final selection, and there will be two rounds of selection, of which sixteen will be eliminated, and the rest will be the princess of the county on one side.

But in fact, at this time, this selection is just a formality, and the final list of princesses has been decided.

The four people who were selected were all from the family of the living and were from the standard background of the imperial court draft.

Looking past the entrance of the main hall, Baochai's gaze fell on the show girls, all of them were full of youth, and the smile on their faces represented their vision for the future.

Baochai has also experienced this process, and now I remember it vividly.

Soon the first show girl entered the hall, and Baochai didn't say much to her, just because she was not on the list.

And the drafting of the list is basically her own decision, and the queen herself is not concerned about this matter, after all, the matter of her own son is enough for her to annoy.

Of course, as in the past, there are many people who trust the relationship this time, but Baochai ignores them all.

This time, she only had two criteria for selecting people, one was that she wanted to look pleasing to the eye, and the other was to take care of the preferences of the two brothers a little.

It was half an hour before all the twenty people who were waiting to be called were summoned.

The show girls exited the hall again, standing outside the hall and waiting for the final result.

This is half an hour, and the cold wind blows their hands and feet cold, but everyone is still full of expectations.

The princess of the county is so noble, if they can be elected, it will be tantamount to a new life, and the family will be prosperous.

Everyone was in a reverie about the future and was looking forward to the appearance of the female officer in a moment.

After a few breaths, a Shang Yi walked out of the hall, still holding a document in his hand, which had been stamped with the phoenix seal of Kunning Palace.

Not only the show girls, but also the women standing outside also want to know who will hit the big luck and soar.

"The Queen's Decree ......"

Although the selection is presided over by the princess, the queen is still presided over in the procedure, so the results are announced by the decree of Yi.

A group of show girls bowed down one after another, listening to the final result, and most of them were in a nervous mood at this time.

And a few people with a stable mentality, all of them have a spectrum in their hearts, and in the process of "upbringing" in these days, they have been recognized by Baochai.

After Shang Yi finished talking nonsense at the beginning, she finally read: "Chen of Yongning County, Xu of Hanoi County, selected as the Wang Xiunu of Qingyang; Zhao of Shanyang County, Liu of Taikang County, was selected as the Jinghai Wang Xiunu; The rest will be given ......"

At this time, most people are in a state of loss and do not care about the consolation prize given by the royal family.

After Yi Zhi finished reading, except for the four people who were called, the other show girls all left the stage under the guidance of the female official.

And then, when it was time to divide the positive side, the Chen family and the Xu family competed for the princess of Qingyang, and the Zhao family and the Liu family won the princess of Jinghai.

The time of upbringing in the palace has allowed these girls to accumulate a certain friendship, but at this moment they have no intention of being humble.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the hall!"

Regardless of the front, these four people are already royal people, so the voices of the female officials who passed the words were much softer.

The four of them entered the hall and were stared at by the many eyes inside, and they were still a little nervous.

But as soon as they thought that when they became princesses in the future, their status would be above everyone else, and the tension between these four people gradually dissipated.

Seeing Baochai on the main throne, these four people were all obedient.

Although the princess of the county has a high status, in front of the princess Baochai, they are very clear about their catties.

What's more, at this moment, Baochai is still representing the queen, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the four show girls bowed to the queen's guard of honor, and then bowed to Baochai.

The royal family has a lot of rituals, and it will take a few minutes to pay homage this time.

After the salute was over, Zhao and Liu were led by the female official to the side hall to wait, just because the next step was the selection of the concubine by the king of Qingyang.

After they left, Zhu Jingchun, the king of Qingyang, appeared in the main hall in the crown of the county king.

"Meet the thirteenth sister-in-law!"

After nodding slightly, Baochai said, "Old Fourteen, let's start!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Jingchun stood up and slowly walked in front of the two show girls, with a warm smile on his face.

When these women were being raised, the two Zhu Jingchun brothers secretly came to see it, and each took a fancy to their beloved women.

Then they found Baochai, explained their thoughts and plates, and then flattered their sister-in-law in various ways.

In this era, it is a very luxurious thing to be able to marry someone you like, and now that Zhu Jingchun has achieved this goal, of course he is extremely happy.

Picking up the Ruyi on the side, Zhu Jingchun handed it to Xu on the left, who was also full of joy to take it into his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

If the Xu family gets Ruyi, she will be the princess, and the Chen family on the side can only be a side concubine.

After Zhu Jingchun's selection was completed, it was the turn of Zhu Jinghao, the king of Jinghai, and this guy chose the Zhao family as the princess.

The princess's choice is over, and according to the system, the show girls should return to their residences to wait for the decree, and then the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for the specific matters.

Now that the Ministry of Rites is busy with the affairs of the Holy Birthday Festival, it is really uncertain whether these two can get married a year ago.

Of course, since they have already chosen the person of the central ceremony, Zhu Jingchun and the others are at ease, and it doesn't matter if they are early or late.

After the matter was over, Baochai set off to Kunning Palace to resume his life, and on the way, Zhu Jingchun and the two chased after her, and they were very grateful to her.

"Okay, let's go back if there's nothing to do, and wait for each to get the princess back!"

"Sister-in-law's teachings, little brother remember!"

After the two of them retreated, Baochai hurried a little faster, and soon she came to Kunning Palace.

The queen was in the side hall at this time, sitting on the couch and looking at the Buddhist scriptures, and the charcoal fire in the house made the cold disappear without a trace.

"Yu Niangniang, Princess Xiang has arrived!" There was a female official outside the house.

Yang Qingyin straightened his sleeves, and then replied, "Let her come over!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Baochai, who took off his crown clothes, came to the outside of the house and kowtowed to the queen.

"The daughter-in-law knocks on the queen mother!"

Putting down the book, Yang Qingyin's eyes swept to Baochai and said, "Come in!" ”

"Yes!"

When Baochai entered the room, Yang Qingyin ordered someone to bring a stool so that Baochai could sit and talk.

After thanking him repeatedly, Baochai finally sat down in front of the queen and said very respectfully: "Queen Qi, the two princesses have been selected, just wait for the Ministry of Rites to ......"

Baochai reported the situation in detail, but Yang Qingyin didn't listen too carefully, she already knew what the situation was.

After Baochai finished speaking, Yang Qingyin said: "I still don't worry about you doing things!" ”

"Two days ago, the slaves of Dongchang reported that some people had taken the thieves who spread rumors, and they also searched for some clues, and the reports were handed to the ...... of Chimelong County."

"There are a lot of such cases today, and the Chimelong County Ya arranged to send someone to inquire the next day, but it was just before the Chimelong County Ya inquired...... Some thieves broke into these people's homes, destroyed the evidence and released the people who were arrested! ”

Baochai knew very well that the queen was talking about that incident, but she didn't panic at this time, because the matter was still under her control.

"There is such a thing, the thieves are too rampant, and the government should be strictly rectified!" Baochai chimed in.

Yang Qingyin smiled slightly, and then said, "Do you know who the murderer who went to attack the people is?" ”

Hearing this, Baochai's expression tightened, of course, this was also pretended by her.

"Queen Mother...... Do you know? ”

It takes super high acting skills here to present the feeling of wanting to hide your fear, but Baochai did it very naturally.

From the moment she made her decision, she had been waiting for the situation to come, and she had rehearsed it many times in private.

"I don't know ......"

Observing Baochai's subtle expression, Yang Qingyin said with a smile: "But the people of Dongchang know!" ”

"Those thieves who attacked the people turned out to be Jinyiwei's people, do you think this is unusual?"

Sure enough, I was targeted by Dongchang, and sure enough, I couldn't hide this matter from my mother, but fortunately, I took the opportunity to deal with this matter immediately...... Baochai secretly felt lucky.

I saw her brows furrowed, showing a nervous look, which also made the queen even more sure of her judgment.

"You've always been smart, tell me about it...... Why did the people of the brocade guards attack those people for no reason? ”

"Who's behind it? What is its purpose? ”

The queen's question became more and more oppressive, and the next moment Baochai knelt directly on the ground, and then buckled her head and said: "The daughter-in-law is guilty!" ”

Looking at Baochai kneeling in front of him, Yang Qingyin straightened his sleeves unhurriedly, and then asked, "Good look...... Why plead? ”

Baochai replied: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare to deceive the queen mother, Jinyiwei is the daughter-in-law who greets her, and asks them to go and smash and release people......"

Yang Qingyin's eyes were like torches, and he asked coldly, "What's going on?" ”

"On the same day, Chimelong County received a complaint, and the matter was also discovered by Jinyiwei, and they sent people to investigate the details!"

"The eunuch of the palace had greeted Jinyiwei before, so when he learned the inside story, he sent someone to the palace to report the news, and the daughter-in-law learned that ......"

"When I learned the inside story of this matter, I expected that someone must have framed him, so I ordered Jinyi Wei to expel the person who did this good thing!"

Lin Hongyu would never have thought that the driving force behind Ni Er's careful plan was actually Princess Xiang, whom they wanted to be loyal to.

"How do you know...... Those people are framed! Yang Qingyin's gaze became colder and colder.

"Just because ......"

Looking up at the queen, Baochai had the courage to say: "Why should the queen mother listen to those indiscriminate words!" ”

This expression, of course, is also acted.

She sent Deng An to keep an eye on him, and Deng An found the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so Baochai was sure that the emperor and queen knew the truth.

Since the emperor and queen knew about King Rui's secret scheme, Baochai felt that there was no need to poke out this matter again, so she temporarily adjusted her strategy.

She plans to set up an image of "taking into account the overall situation" and even "enduring humiliation", so as to step on the Rui Wangfu again.

Picking up the teacup, Yang Qingyin said slowly: "I really want to hear how those people are climbing and biting indiscriminately!" ”

"Daughter-in-law doesn't ......"

"Say!"

Yang Qingyin was rarely angry, so frightened that Baochai lowered his head again.

The so-called evidence of those people said that Sister Ting had something to do with the Sixth Brother's Mansion, and the intention was to ...... Intend to join forces to seek the position of princess! ”

"This matter is too ridiculous, the daughter-in-law will never believe it, and the queen mother must not believe it!" Baochai made up again.

She completely wanted to get away with it, but I have to say that her acting skills were good enough to make the queen really believe her words.

"So you're going to have the evidence destroyed? Don't even let people be tried? ”

"Once this matter is put on the table, it will only bring shame to the royal family no matter what, and the daughter-in-law really can't bear to see her mother worried, so she makes her own opinion......"

After Baochai said this, the nature of the matter is different.

She can't just endure humiliation, this is completely pure filial piety.

So inevitably, Yang Qingyin compared Baochai with the other two, so he once again concluded that the little daughter-in-law was the most decent and sensible.

"You girl...... This matter is very involved, and how to deal with it should be decided by me and Your Majesty, how can you interfere arbitrarily? ”

Yang Qingyin was still teaching with a straight face, and then there was concern in his tone, and Baochai put on a teachable appearance.

After mentioning something, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but sigh: "You kid...... It's just too honest and easy to lose! ”

On the surface, the previous rumors were aimed at Baochai, which made her suffer a big loss.

But what made Yang Qingyin even more dissatisfied was that the new rumors in the city now, especially those sinister words of "Gong Bi Qin Wang", made her want to kill people with hatred.

Come to think of it, it's those two fools who are picking on right and wrong...... Yang Qingyin judged so in his heart.

But this time, she did wronged her two sons, but unfortunately the two brothers didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.

"Okay, now that the matter is over, what's the grievance in the future...... Come and tell me, don't carry it alone! ”

"It's no wonder that little beast is not worrying, he has to go to the northwest to fight and kill, let you be a weak woman in Beijing to support the palace, and when he comes back, I have to teach him a good lesson!"

Baochai bowed again, and then said: "The prince is also for the court, and I hope that the queen mother will be forgiving!" ”

Honor your in-laws, love your husband, and maintain your family...... It's a standard good daughter-in-law character.

What greed for money, what kind of cautious eyes, what young people are sluggish, compared with these advantages are simply insignificant.

"Alright, alright...... Look, if you're worried, can I still kill him? Hurry up! ”

Wiping the tears on his face, Baochai got up to herself.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the queen's teacup was about to be empty, he personally stepped forward to pour it for her, focusing on a careful and diligent one.

Such a considerate respect is many times better than Chen Zhi's dedication to various curiosities.

"Where do you think this kid should be now?"

Although Zhu Jinghong sends back messages every day, the lag is too great, so his itinerary can only be roughly estimated.

Baochai replied: "The news sent back yesterday said that it has passed Lintong, and I am afraid that I will arrive in Beijing in three or five days!" ”

"I set off at the end of September, and I traveled more than 2,000 miles in half a month, and I don't know how much suffering I have to suffer along the way!"

The queen, who just said that she wanted to teach her son a lesson, was full of concern in her eyes at this time, and she was very depressed in her heart.

I only heard Baochai reply: "The prince also arrived in advance to congratulate the emperor on his birthday!" ”

"He's a dutiful child......"

Hearing the word "child", Baochai only felt funny, after all, the killing god who hacked hundreds of people to death was not a child no matter how you look at it.
