Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Xiao Zhixing followed Fulu and saw Nanny Song who was waiting in the side hall. Nanny bowed to her and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is free today and wants to see you. May Your Highness move aside?"

Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Please lead the way, Madam Song."

After bidding farewell to Fulu, the two of them walked around Qiansheng Palace and followed the palace path into the harem.

Xiao Zhixing casually looked at the scenery. Occasionally, when palace maids passed by, they would lower their heads and move aside as a sign of respect.

Of course, there are also bold ones who would open their eyes wide and peek at her curiously.

Especially some elderly people, when they saw her face, they all showed complicated expressions.

Xiao Zhixing didn't care at all. He walked leisurely with Nanny Song with his hands behind his back, and would take a second look at any beautiful scenery he saw.

She knew that Nanny Song was also observing her, but she didn't care.

Cihe Palace was in Xiyuan. Even though Nanny Song took a shortcut with her, it still took them more than half an hour to get there. The palace was indeed huge.

"Your Highness, please." Without notifying, Nanny Song led her in directly. The Queen Mother was sitting upright, staring at the door eagerly.

Xiao Zhixing stepped forward and bowed under the old lady's burning gaze, "Your Highness Xiao Zhixing greets the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health.

"Okay, okay, good child, come here quickly and don't be so distant with me." The Queen Mother waved at her with tears in her eyes.

When she sat on the official chair nearby, the empress dowager couldn't help but rub her eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

Xiao Zhixing took the initiative to say, "I haven't thanked you for the reward you gave me at the coming-of-age ceremony. I was really busy and didn't have time to come and thank you in person."

The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at her without missing a beat. "What nonsense! Why do you need to thank me? That's the small change I gave to the younger generation to play with. I still think it's not enough."

Xiao Zhixing was suddenly speechless. What should she say?

I can't be sure that I am the emperor's child. Look at the empress dowager, it seems that she has already determined that I am Zhao Yunqi's child.

Even though she was as cruel as a cat, she couldn't bear to lie to the old man.

The Queen Mother seemed to have realized what was happening, and quickly calmed down with a kind smile:

"I feel lonely in the palace. Feng Xi used to come over, but now she has moved to the Junziyuan and there is no one to accompany an old lady like me. Yuan Sheng, can you come to Cihe Palace more often to talk to me in the future?"

Xiao Zhixing nodded reluctantly, "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you..."

The Queen Mother scolded her before she could say anything, "People outside say you are bold and reckless, why are you still pretending to be so in front of me? Where is that girl who dared to turn her back on the Emperor?"

Xiao Zhixing: It’s embarrassing.

The Queen Mother restored her kind smile and said, "When you get to Cihe Palace, feel free to make yourself at home. Okay, I know you're going to Junziyuan, so I won't keep you here. We agreed that you would come and keep me company after every court session, and you are not allowed to not come."

"Someone, please send out the gift I gave to Yuan Sheng."

Then Xiao Zhixing wiped the cold sweat as the empress dowager domineeringly stuffed several jewels and antiques into her hands before allowing her to leave.

She rode to the Junziyuan, and the eunuchs went to the palace to give gifts.

Xiao Zhixing was sitting on the horse and suddenly smiled. The Queen Mother was also a wonderful person, but it was a pity that he and her son were destined to stand on opposite sides.

When Xiao Zhixing arrived at the Gentlemen's Courtyard, before she entered the room named Dasheng Book Hall, Bai Mei said to her, "Master, what you said in the court this morning has spread."

so?

When others saw her come in, they all looked at her with concern.

Li Wenxiu, the king of gossip, jumped over, hugged her arm and smiled to inquire about the news, "Sister Zhixing, do you really not want to find a husband?"

No one took her words about bringing bad luck to her husband seriously, as they all knew she was just saying it out of anger.

Xiao Zhixing grabbed her smooth little face and gritted his teeth, "If your husband doesn't want to find a wife, you can take in a few beautiful ladies. For example, the good girls here, why don't you follow me into the palace?"

Everyone was stunned, and the girls couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Xianyin teased coquettishly, "The prince wants to take us sisters in. Can you afford it?"

Feng Zhen'er laughed loudly, "With my physique, it will be difficult for the prince to take me in."

Zhao Xi raised her head proudly, "This princess cannot leave without eight sedan chairs."

Mu Wan's lips curled slightly.

Lin Rushu smiled gently, "Your Highness is so lucky to have three wives and four concubines. I just don't know who will be your legal wife?"

Li Wenxiu shouted with joy, "I must be my sister's favorite little Jiaojiao!"

The seven girls looked at each other and laughed, each with her own charm.

The barrage was filled with screams.

[Yellow barrage: The lilies in my hometown are blooming, I support it. ]

[Red barrage: That’s right, we don’t need a man, the seven of us just need to live in harmony. ]

【Green barrage: The prince is definitely capable of taking in six girls. 】

The teenagers coughed dryly, dryly, and violently.

They always felt so out of place, and had a new understanding of the girls in Shengjing.

Sitting down in the same position as yesterday, Xiao Zhixing randomly picked up a book and flipped through it. Huo Baijun came over and said, "The candidates from Mengzhou, Dongzhou, Xizhou, and Huzhou, the four places closest to Zhongzhou, will arrive the day after tomorrow."

He shared the information he had heard, "They were all from the families of governors and county governors or their relatives."

This simply confirmed the rumors that the emperor was trying to win over court officials.

Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "Then we have to welcome our new classmates well."

She had already placed the information of the remaining twelve people on her desk. Just as Huo Baijun said, each of them had a huge family or network of relationships behind them.

This is also the reason why the imperial system stipulates that the personnel must be the children of fourth-rank officials and above.

After all, this kind of prince selection plan is too shocking. Even if a child from an ordinary family is selected, he will not be able to survive. Without any connections to support him, he will be eaten alive by other court officials sooner or later.

Among these twelve people, there were two who she remembered vividly. One was Qi Wuyi, the son of Qi Danhe, who was selected from Beizhou, and the other was Li Zheng, the younger brother of Li Jun, a member of the Li family's side branch, who was selected from Huzhou.

As soon as the former's name was confirmed, Qi Danhe wrote her a letter asking her to take care of him.

The person behind is naturally Li Jun’s man.

She gradually figured out why Li Jun won the throne in the green plane in the end.

The first is to marry the comatose Xiao Qingluan, which is the most important bargaining chip. The second is the support of the family. The third is that Li Zheng should also be considered a force.

She would pay a little attention, but not too much. Everything in this plane had already changed beyond recognition, and she liked to control the direction herself.

Li Wenxiu also came over and whispered, "I know Wei Qi from Ningzhou."

Needless to say, what it means is that Wei Qi from the Wei family is on Li Xiao's side.

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help laughing. This silly girl had revealed all her secrets.

Li Wenxiu seemed to understand the meaning of her eyes. She curled her lips and said, "Grandfather asked me to have more contact with him. Humph, he wants to find a husband for me early. I won't be fooled."

Xiao Zhixing: "Very good, I support you."

I wonder if Mr. Li will be so angry that he will blow his beard and glare?

The day passed quickly, and her speech in the court became a new hot search. The people sighed that Prince Yuansheng was such a good man. With her arrival, the days in Shengjing City became lively.

Only Xiao Yuanshan was so anxious that he almost pulled off his long beautiful beard. As soon as she got home, he blocked her and demanded to know the truth.
