Bastards

The sun is bright and warm, and the clouds are shining.

The girl is wearing a primrose-colored dress, sitting in a pavilion in the spring light, with a pure and agile temperament, just like the drop of dew on the grass leaves in the morning, gathering the spring aura of the day and the place.

Her eyebrows are vivid, her ten fingers are slender, her movements are extremely fast, and she seems to be shaking out a phantom. The golden beads of the abacus are set against the whiteness of the green onion fingers. The beauty is like a painting...

Almost everyone present was shocked by its vivid and beautiful color, and they were admiring, but after reacting, they had different feelings.

Some people think that this skill is really good, and it seems that they have worked hard. If you are a mistress, you will be able to manage the wealth in your palm and expand your family property; It's alright, to be so proficient, it must be due to ingenuity, and it's a bit right.

After all, the main thing for a woman to do after she gets married is to care for her husband and raise her children, and stay in the inner room. If she devotes herself to studying and liking this, how can she serve her husband and raise her children?If you don't have more time to take care of the housework, and if the female celebrity can't keep up with her cooking skills, wouldn't it mean that her husband and children can't even use the food and clothing she made with her own hands?

To put it more seriously, being so obsessed with the abacus and checking accounts is for good fortune, but it is the nature of a businessman, and any girl from a wealthy family should not be like this.It's more elegant to practice some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you can also have some common hobbies with your husband to enhance your relationship.If you really don't have such qualifications, you can still serve your husband well and earn a little respect if you work hard to figure out how to become a culinary celebrity.practice this?hehe.

Cui Yingbingxue is smart, how could she not know the result of such a show?It must make many people unhappy, but she doesn't care, she did it on purpose.

She knew why she was included in this draft list, and she also knew what the arrogant nobles hated, so she simply created an image of herself as a vulgar philistine, to see if that person dares to be more particular!As for other people's impressions... People who are really interested in her will know more about her, know how good she is, it's boring, why should she care what they think?

No matter how she builds it, she is not afraid of anything with her grandmother, uncle and brother supporting her!

She can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she just doesn't show it for you to see!

It is so bold, it is so emboldened!

I have to say that Cui Ying is indeed quick-witted, but she doesn't know that King Chang is a pervert!King Chang is only seventeen this year, and the number of women he has favored around him is more than seventy. People really don't like the elegant ones.

Only Concubine Tian Gui, with her eyes drooping slightly, lowered her head and sipped her tea to hide her dissatisfaction.

She had checked before that although this Cui Ying came from a small family, he was good in all aspects, and he also had a half-celestial brother, who was qualified to be a side concubine for King Chang.In this draft, she was somewhat confident, but who knew that Cui Ying was so incompetent?What's the matter with showing the abacus, are you not motivated at all!

Concubine Tian Guifei was a little reluctant to allocate such a woman to King Chang. If King Chang insisted, she must lower her status.But this female elder brother's ability should not be underestimated, the Yue King and the Emperor are fighting for it, and the younger sister's position is too low, he is afraid that he will not be willing.

But—it doesn't matter, she already has stronger means to control.

Concubine Tian Gui's eyes flickered, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.It's just that it's better for Minglu to benefit her after this matter, and it still needs to be carefully considered...

Cui Shu also saw King Chang's perverted eyes, and sneered: "Are you rushing to seek death? Dare to bully my beautiful niece, and see if I don't put him in a sack and throw him to death on the cliff!" While talking, he looked at Looking around, I was very satisfied, "Today's boundary is just right, I don't even need to find a place!"

Cui Yu didn't stop him, he just said: "Little uncle, don't worry, let's take a look, after all, it is the royal territory, if nothing happens, the two sides are safe, if the king of Chang really dares to make a monster——Little uncle don't worry Go kill people and throw away corpses, my nephew will watch over you!"

"Okay!" The little uncle patted Cui Yu on the shoulder very proudly, and gave Cui Yu a bowl of two big bowls of melon seeds, "Come, let's eat together! Let's enjoy watching the show first, and the little uncle will take you later." Let's protect Yingying together!"

Cui Yu smiled and drank tea, but refused the big bowl of melon seeds.

Today Xiunu hosted a banquet, and there were many people with mixed eyes. He didn't think that Concubine Tian Gui or King Chang dared to do anything to Cui Ying. At most, it was just a chance to meet.This little uncle doesn't need to take action at all, Cui Ying can solve it by himself... But just like the little uncle, Cui Yu feels very uncomfortable whenever he thinks that King Chang will take the opportunity to get close to Cui Ying.

Well, it's better to teach King Chang a lesson.

See how he dares to stretch his claws everywhere!

Cui Shu's unhappiness came and went quickly, and he made up his mind to protect his niece, and it would be nice to keep an eye on him later.Now, the time for the show girl's performance has not yet ended, and the scene will not leave. No matter whether it is King Chang or Concubine Tian Gui, neither will leave, so he is also relieved and continues to watch the fun.

"Hahaha, this is not bad, you actually shake cold dishes on the spot!" Cui Shu slapped his thigh, forgetting to spit out the melon seeds in his mouth, and almost got stuck in his throat, "It turned out to be the simplest cold salad with three silks! This girl is so sincere interesting!"

Cui Yu looked over, almost unable to stroke his forehead.

It was Mou Zhizhi, the only daughter of Mu Xingze, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry!

He and Yang Xuan fell in love with this talent, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but Mr. Mou is upright, strict with others, and even more strict with himself. He basically has no weaknesses, and it is difficult to break through in a short time. The only thing he cares about is this daughter...

Mou Zhizhi has a round face, pure and innocent eyebrows, she is a pretty good girl, but she was spoiled by her family when she grew up, she puts kindness in advance, is simple and straightforward, and has no precautions.These are not shortcomings at all, they will be liked by people everywhere, but she is participating in the draft, and there are conscientious girls everywhere!Even if this stupid girl doesn't stand out on her own, and doesn't block the way of others, it couldn't be easier for someone to use her as a pawn to trick her!

If you want to sell well to Lord Mou, you have to protect this girl...

Cui Mata let out a long sigh.

Why are the people they look up to so troublesome?

Mu Zhizhi's performance made many people on the scene express... Well, I don't know what expression to put on.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has performed well in the past two years. Emperor Taikang had to show face, and asked Mou Zhizhi with a very 'kindly' smile: "Why do you want to cook?"

Mou Zhizhi's eyes were very clear, black and white were distinct, and she answered seriously: "Little girl thought, after so long, everyone must be a little hungry. If I can make a plate of dishes for everyone to appetize and pad their stomachs, it should be much more comfortable."

Her eyes are sincere, and her intentions are good, but when she speaks so bluntly, some people who like to find fault will feel... She is praising herself for being considerate, and other people are scum, which is unexpected.

Seeing that Emperor Taikang didn't have much food before the case, maybe he would think that there was something wrong with Concubine Tian Gui, and she didn't care about the dragon body at all.The emperor is hungry, didn't you see!

The people present were all human beings. After realizing it, they were all silent, and the smile on Concubine Tian Gui's face froze a bit.

Emperor Taikang intentionally rescued Mou Zhizhi, and his smile was very approachable: "I heard that home cooking is the most skillful, the simpler the dish, the more difficult it is to make a taste that everyone likes, this dish—— you Prepared for a long time, put a lot of thought into it?"

Worried that Mou Zhizhi would not be able to hear it, he added an accent to remind: "Is the selection of ingredients and the cooking process different from ordinary ones, and is it very distinctive?"

Mu Zhizhi tilted her head: "It's nothing special, it's just ordinary three-shredded cold salad. Originally, the little girl wanted to make something else, but just now she found that some ingredients were broken, and it didn't work, so she changed it."

Cui Mata: ...Girl, you're making a fool of yourself!

Cui Shu almost burst into laughter: "Where is such a living thing, it's so cute!"

Emperor Taikang and Concubine Tian twitched the corners of their mouths and asked Mou Zhizhi to go down and replace her with a beautiful girl.

The farther to the back, the higher the family background of the show girls, like the daughters of Zheng Lu's family, they are all at this stage.

The family background is extraordinary, no matter what they think in their hearts, the girls they cultivate will not be too bad, especially in terms of talent.

Zheng Youniang's ancient piano skills, and Lu Yi's left and right hands writing large characters in different fonts at the same time, are all amazing. It can be said that those who have just played the piano or written characters are not as good as the two of them!

Moreover, the two girls have good temperament, standing on the field, they are very stable, like a painting scroll.

But Concubine Tian Gui, who had just praised the beautiful girl in front of her, behaved mediocrely, she just hummed, without any compliments, without any rewards.

Emperor Taikang also had a slightly higher attitude, and casually said a few words about the hard work of the family, but did not praise him greatly.

This is already a bit of a slap in the face for the two girls who performed particularly well.

Zheng Youniang's face turned pale at that time, and her expression was a little panicked, but Lu Yi, who was slightly younger, was very stable, quiet, calm, and very temperamental.

Cui Shu smacked his lips: "What do you two want to do? Now that the aristocratic family is willing to enter the palace for draft, why don't you give me a smile? You still ignore it and deliberately suppress it..." No way!Didn't they have been looking at the aristocratic family for a long time, and finally got what they wanted, why did they behave like this? "Aren't you afraid that the aristocratic family will turn their backs, take the girl out, and continue to fight against the royal family in the future?"

This is a bit illogical.

Cui Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "I'm afraid it's because the aristocratic family has already compromised." It is not easy to make any general direction decision. It is not easy to freeze three feet in a day, but once it is frozen, it is not so easy to melt.

Now that the family has made a decision, no matter how Emperor Taikang behaves, he has to bite the bullet and move forward, unless there is a big accident.

And Emperor Taikang and Concubine Tian's greed for the family is by no means fake, and it is impossible to treat them like this forever.

"Maybe it's because you want to show off?" Cui Mata's lips curved slightly, and the smile didn't reach his eyes, "First whip a few times hard, and then give a piece of candy... experienced people may understand and resist. A deep little girl, but very easy to coax."

Cui Shu clapped his hands immediately: "It makes sense! The little girls are soft-hearted and easy to deceive. First dig a hole, and scare people into fright, and then come here to save and help with the attitude of a benefactor and a confidant. The acting will be better. How can the little girl not believe it? Maybe she will give up her heart!"

"Nephew, you are smart, why didn't I think of that!"

After complimenting his nephew, Cui Shu glared at Emperor Taikang and Concubine Tian again: "This pair is extremely sinister!"

While talking, another beautiful girl came out, she was an acquaintance - Princess Fu'an.

Princess Fu'an wore a fierce red dress and played a trick of whipping.

Her appearance is not bad, she is wearing a red dress, her eyebrows are open, and she is not very good at whipping, but overall, she matches her temperament very well, and she is quite an eye-catching beauty.

After the beauty finished playing a set of whipping techniques, she was panting delicately, sweating profusely, and she was even more attractive!

She is the most favored girl by Concubine Tian's side, and the princess who was proclaimed by the emperor. It is impossible for Concubine Tian not to express her performance. Women can't compare.

Princess Fu'an was not shy. After thanking him, he looked at Yang Xuan: "I heard that the prince is very good at martial arts. I don't have any other hobbies. This is the only one. If the prince has time, can you give me some advice?"

On the day the prince returned to the palace for the banquet, she fell in love with the prince at first sight. In a moment, her love was as deep as the sea, and she couldn't control herself.She couldn't even control herself that night, and used her contacts in the palace to help her to meet the prince, but unfortunately... was rejected.

The prince fell in love with her, but he was unwilling, or he didn't understand what she said, so he didn't want to use it.

It doesn't matter, women chasing men's interlayer gauze, as long as she puts in some hard work, she believes that she will be able to train this stalwart prince into a minister under his skirt, and teach him to know her benefits!

Cui Shu, who was watching, spit out a mouthful of tea, patted his thigh and laughed loudly: "I actually like the prince! The prince is entangled!"

He didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and he thought he had "no trace" and took a look at Cui Yu.

Cui Mata: ...

Of course Cui Mina felt uncomfortable when his man was shown his love in public, but he believed——his little wolf dog would handle it properly.

Sure enough, Yang Xuan frowned, and looked up and down at Princess Fu'an: "You're too ugly, you can't."

Princess Fu'an didn't expect the crown prince to be so shameless in front of so many people, his face turned red immediately: "How ugly am I!"

"Everywhere is ugly." Yang Xuan criticized, "The face is too big, the shoulders are too broad, the waist is too long, the shape of the feet is wrong, the upper body is weak, and the lower body is flimsy. You——can't learn martial arts."

These words seem to be straightforward, they are not right about the matter, and criticize the ugly, but it is only because of martial arts considerations.When Yang Xuan said this, his expression was still serious, and he looked very capable of bluffing people, as if it was someone else's fault for thinking too much, and he didn't intend to bully women at all.

But Cui Yu knew Yang Xuan very well, and could decipher different meanings from the slightest expression. Where could he not see the light in Yang Xuan's eyes, did he know that Yang Xuan was doing it on purpose?

If you really want to comment on your martial arts qualifications, how can you use the word ugly?

And the little wolf dog, you have a good learning posture, I have only met the little uncle a few times, and the little uncle has learned ten percent of his tone of voice when judging beauties?

Cui Shu also stroked his chin: "The crown prince's poisonous tongue skills are very similar to what I used to be."

Cui Mata: ...

"Our prince is a bit blunt, but he has a good heart. Don't mind Fu'an. The prince doesn't hate you." Concubine Tian Gui smiled and said, "Today is still long, and the prince will have time later, so I will make this agreement for you. Next, the Crown Prince will definitely meet you—isn’t it, Your Majesty?”

Emperor Taikang took a gentle look at Concubine Tian Gui, nodded, and looked at the prince again: "Don't be so hard on the girl's family, you are the prince, you should be responsible."

Yang Xuan cupped his hands and didn't speak any more.

It seems to be obedient, but Tian Guifei made the appointment, not him, if he doesn't want to meet, who can find it?

Princess Fu'an went down contentedly.

Among all the show girls, Princess Fu'an drew the last lottery, and she should be the last to appear on the stage, but one of the show girls who performed in the front line today had a problem, so she couldn't, so she had to move over, and she was only ready now.

Now that it is ready, it is natural for people to come up and show it.

So everyone saw the little girl who performed at the finale of this draft.

This show girl is called Guo Xiangmei. She looks the most outstanding among all the show girls. Strictly speaking, she is a bit ugly, with big face, small eyes, big mouth, short and fat... The draft is a big event, representing the royal family and the major families below. Basically, she would not intentionally seek out an ugly girl, so it was a bit strange that she was chosen.

Guo Xiangmei's family background is not very good. Her father just selected Luoyang as an official from a remote place. People from small places are a little timid when they arrive in the big city. The word 'soil' was written on the face.

As soon as Guo Xiangmei came on stage, she was greeted with a few mocking jokes. She was already worried and scared, but now she was even more flustered.

The Guo family's family style is very strict, and they pay attention to women's virtue without talent. Guo Xiangmei doesn't know a few words at all, so how can she have any talents?She still entered Huangzhuang, and it was stipulated that she must have talent, so she followed the advice of the nuns and stumbled to learn a dance.

If he played earlier, it would be fine if he performed poorly, and everyone would not be too harsh, but this is the finale... all kinds of pressure must be great.

Guo Xiangmei stumbled with her left foot and fell down with her right foot in full view!

Before everyone present said anything, Guo Xiangmei shed tears first, her face turned red.

Concubine Tian Gui was very kind: "Oh, what's the matter? Nanny Gui, go and help him up."

The most respectable nanny next to Concubine Tian helped her up, which meant that Concubine Tian was favored... Guo Xiangmei stood up and looked at Concubine Tian expectantly.

Concubine Tian Gui comforted her: "It's okay, let's draft, we can see personal character and talent, it's good, but it's okay if it's a little bit worse."

Guo Xiangmei felt at ease, and glanced at Concubine Tian, ​​her eyes rolled a little quickly: "Thank you... Your Majesty the Concubine."

"I know you are from a small place. I was a little stage fright at the beginning. It's okay, just practice more." Concubine Tian Gui smiled and pointed to Yang Xuan, "Our prince also lived in the temple for more than ten years, and never left. , isn’t it also generous and decent now, and everything is appropriate? You, you have to believe in yourself, work harder, be more confident, there is nothing you can’t do.”

These words seem to be inspirational, they are right everywhere, there is nothing wrong with them, it shows how noble and gentle she is, but when you think about it carefully, everything is wrong.

What does it mean to compare a prince of a country with an ugly fat village girl?

The prince has not been out of the temple for more than ten years, so now he has this ability-who are you provoking?Instruct the courtiers to become a prince, or let Emperor Taikang investigate?

Believe in yourself, work harder, be more confident, there is nothing you can't do... What are you implying?

Guo Xiangmei's eyes lit up, she took a quick look at the prince, her face blushed, and she saluted shyly: "Nujia Xiangmei, please ask the prince for advice from now on."

Everyone stared blankly, very speechless.

Why is Guo Xiangmei so good at climbing?

However, with a few words from the imperial concubine, why did she feel that she was looked at differently and was given a chance?

Does she know that she is ugly?

It wasn't that he was quite timid just now, why is he so courageous at this point?Also, the family education is extremely strict, and she doesn't even know how to read the words. She is very well-behaved, is that so well-behaved?

Nu family... what the hell is this self-proclaimed!Girls with a slightly higher rank in the brothel would not call themselves so!

Cui Mata's face immediately turned black.

He finally understood that Guo Xiangmei did it on purpose!Concubine Tian Gui deliberately arranged to come in, and the woman prepared for Yang Xuan was a tool to smear him and attack him!

Before anything happened, the prince who took the opportunity to make a fuss was ashamed. If he didn't pay attention to this in the future, let Tian Guifei get stuck and send Guo Xiangmei to Yang Xuan's bed--the scandal is considered a big one, and it is considered lively!

Jumping beam clowns don't need to spend money to train them, and they can have great effects with just a command, and get twice the result with half the effort, why not do it!

"Women are vicious!" Cui Shu scolded Concubine Tian Gui, smacked his lips again, and turned to look at Cui Yu seriously, "Did you see that, my nephew? Their royal family has a lot of things to do, so you stay well, because there are troubles coming at you! The status of the prince is enough to recruit people, the prince is so handsome, how many mad bees and butterflies are crying and shouting, he is not a good man, not a good man!"

Cui Mata: ...Unexpectedly, at this time, I didn't forget to say this, little uncle, you are the best!

Guo Xiangmei looked at the prince shyly, thinking that her daughter Huaichun was very beautiful, but in fact, her appearance...all the people present couldn't help getting goosebumps, feeling a little disgusted, and looked at the prince with sympathy.

The crown prince was very calm, and raised his eyelids: "Aren't you beautiful girls all under the supervision of the noble concubine, did the noble concubine teach you? I can't teach you alone."

The implication in these words is that Concubine Tian Gui is in charge of the draft, so she doesn't know that there is such a person in the show girl team?I don't know it's impossible, so it's intentional... I deliberately found an ugly monster, deliberately taught people to be like this, deliberately led the topic, and embarrassed the prince of a country...

Yang Xuan also cupped his hands and suggested to Emperor Taikang: "The imperial concubine has worked hard in the drafting, and it is also a great achievement to teach the beautiful girls with all her heart. Please also reward the emperor."

Concubine Tian Gui, you are so awesome, please give me a reward, okay?

Those who saw the inner way, looked at the nose and nose, watched the heart and didn't speak, didn't see it, and the prince understood a few words, and looked at Concubine Tian Gui and Guo Xiangmei with some deep meaning.

Concubine Tian pinched her fingernails into her palms, and kept smiling: "It's not hard for the concubine to do things for the emperor." She said it lightly, but she let Guo Xiangmei go down!

It seemed natural and there was no trace, but she couldn't control what people thought in their hearts...

She didn't care either, Gu Zi glanced at the audience, and said softly: "Now that all the talented girls have finished showing their talents, but it's still too early, how can we live up to this wonderful spring? Bengong thought of a Qiao Zonger, Put a lot of money on it, invite the young talents present to participate in the fun with the beautiful girls..."

Cui Yu paused with his fingertips, realizing that the main show is about to begin!

Cui Shu also noticed it, and seized the last moment to slam the melon seeds: "You must protect Yingying tightly!"
