The draft in the Shoukang Palace came to an end, and before dawn, the servants from various mansions who came to pick them up stood guard at the gate of the palace early in the morning, waiting nervously for news from the palace.

A few servants from Changping Hou's Mansion squatted there bored and bored, their expressions were quite impatient.

There is a draft in the palace, and there are eunuchs outside the palace.

At the very beginning, the Ning family got a letter saying that the girl had been chosen, so they happily asked for rewards.Then the Lu family, the Xue family, and the Qu family also heard that they were selected, and the smiles on their faces naturally went without saying.There was also a little eunuch in the middle who came out and gave an unremarkable surname, Wen, and said that he was accused of being given to the crown prince as a side concubine. The people from that family happily rewarded the little eunuch with a gold ingot. The eunuch who reported to another family before was jealous to death.

"Bless the ancestors of the Wen family!" The boy from the Wen family kowtowed on the ground thankfully to thank the emperor for his grace, "Our young master has finally made it through!"

"Hmph, it's great to be a side concubine? Our girl will sit in that position in the future." The servant from Ning's family watched from the side, feeling that his family's limelight had been robbed by the later Wen's family, angrily He muttered uncomfortably.

Unbeknownst to them, the servants around were all sharp-sighted. After the Ning family said this, they immediately made Lu and Xue's family unhappy.But after all, the Ning family produced a Yuan Empress and a present prince, and now the letter from the palace is only a selection, and the imperial decree to enshrine the harem has not yet come down, and the family members are not happy, but they still hold back their temper and say nothing .

Not long after, everyone was still waiting for the good news, but this time they didn't wait for the happy news. Instead, they saw a few guards dragging a noble lady out of the palace and putting them in the prison car. It was obvious that she was in the palace Something happened!

It's my lady!The servants of the Xing family were so frightened that their knees went limp on the spot, and they forgot whether they were selected or not.

After that, at the same time, Tan Jiading, who learned from the eunuch in the palace that Tan Qingsong had been disfigured by the daughter of the Xing family just now, was so angry and frightened that he almost couldn't breathe!

On the spot, the Tan family looked at the Xing family as if they were poisoned, and they just wished they could tear them apart!

The feud between the two families is thus concluded.

On the side, the servants of Changping Hou's Mansion just watched the excitement with cold eyes, but what they thought in their hearts was why their eldest son still didn't believe him?This is the time when the sun is high, on other days, they all have lunch and sleep at this time, how could they suffer this crime under the sun.Besides, the eldest son is not welcome in the mansion. They came out this time to listen to the letter and pick up people. The mansion only paid 20 taels of silver as a reward after the election. To be honest, they weighed that point The weight of the silver, compared to other houses, is really too heavy to take out, shame on you!

In the eyes of the boys, it would be better if this young master was not chosen, save the embarrassment of handing over the money, the brothers can go out and have fun with these dozens of taels of money, can't they?

But don't miss it!

The boy was thinking this way, and a little eunuch from the palace ran out quickly.

"The son of the Marquis of Changping was bestowed the title of Concubine Jing by the Holy Master!"

The lively people of Tan Xing's family who were gloating at the play just a second ago were suddenly diverted by the eunuch's words.

Yo ha!The position of Prince Jing's concubine was actually assigned to an unknown son of the Hou family? !It was bestowed by the emperor himself!

That's amazing!

Everyone was secretly startled, thinking that this father personally picked a daughter-in-law for his son who was not easy to raise, so what kind of explanation is this?Could it be that King Jing's temperament has become more and more surly and violent in the past few years, which finally made the emperor unhappy?

Everyone present had different thoughts, and all of a sudden they put their eyes on the frame of Changping Houfu.

The young servants who were standing idly were dumbfounded at the moment. Not only was the eldest son who was not seen in the mansion not rejected, but he was also bestowed by the emperor himself as Prince Jing's concubine?It is said that a sparrow is a sparrow, but why did it fly up to the branch just by making a mistake?Are they crazy, or are the nobles in the palace crazy?

But even if they don't want to believe it anymore, the bright smile on the face of the eunuch in front of them also reminds them——

It's time to pay for the reward.

20 taels of silver, in an ordinary household, is still not a small sum of money.But in the eyes of these naughty eunuchs in the palace, they really don't take the 20 taels as money.Letting go of his hands, the smile on the eunuch's face faded visibly, and the eyes he looked at the servants were even more meaningful: "Our family thinks that the wife of the Changping Hou Mansion belongs to our concubine Hui. sister?"

The boys looked at each other and said yes.

When the eunuch heard the words, he smiled strangely: "In the future, Madam Hou will come into the palace again, and our family will order the people below to introduce Madam well." After saying that, he lowered his face, flicked his sleeves and walked into the palace.

The servants couldn't stop them, so they didn't look at the ridicule in the eyes of the people around them. They only thought that the eunuchs in the palace were like little ghosts in the palace of the King of Hades. Because He didn't like the eldest son, he didn't want to give more rewards to the palace servants. , but never expected that the most inconspicuous eldest son would turn into a marriage gifted by Emperor Jin Yuan to King Jing, so after this turning point, he got into trouble with this difficult little devil. .

As for the other family, it is natural to gossip about the Changping Hou Mansion right now.

Originally, the He family of the Marquis of Changping had always mingled with the women of the aristocratic family in Beijing with a virtuous and virtuous attitude. Not to mention the joke about "buying cloth" in the Marquis of Changping when the children of the aristocratic family entered the palace a few days ago. Watching the servants from the Marquis of Changping give money to the eunuch in the palace who is picky, it makes these people see most of the truth.

"I'm afraid that the He family's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person is just a skin on the outside, and now they treat the eldest son of the Hou's mansion without even bothering to show it."

Some people said that, and some people quite agreed: "In private, the He family doesn't know how vicious he is to the poor young master of the Marquis Mansion."

But in fact, everyone really wronged Mr. He this time.

The reward of 20 taels, in fact, she originally asked the accountant to pay 50 taels, but the accountant had selfish intentions, so he withheld a few taels of silver and handed it over to the steward. The steward was not very sick because of Mrs. He's recent mental distress. In charge of the house's internal affairs, he became a little more courageous, and kept a few liang of information... Such layer upon layer of exploitation, in the hands of those young servants, only the 20 liang of silver was left.

He Shi probably never imagined that this time, she fell into the hands of the servants in the backyard of the Hou Mansion that she had controlled for decades.

----

People outside the palace gossip and gossip, and in the imperial garden of the palace, the draft in Shoukang Palace is over, Emperor Jin and Yuan moved to the previous court to handle the memorial, and the concubines also returned to their respective palaces.

"I'm so pissed off, what kind of thing is he!" Liu Lingfei broke off a bunch of flower branches, and walked with the children of the aristocratic family who were not selected, and was led to the outside of the palace by the palace servants, "It's just an unknown Angry Shuang'er, whether this girl is not as good-looking as him or her family background, His Royal Highness King Jing is really blind!"

Beside her, the daughters of aristocratic families who were not selected couldn't help but stay a few steps away from her, and they didn't want to go with her.

Seeing this, Liu Lingfei opened his eyes wide, angrily threw the flower branch on the ground and stepped on it a few times, crushing the flower branch, pointing at a few people and saying, "What do you mean?"

"It means that you are not only noisy, but also have no brains." Li Xian'er was given the title of Princess Qin, and she was in a good mood at this time. When she was in a good mood, she saw that others were in a bad mood, so her mood became even better. , I dare not choose you even if I am really blind."

Liu Lingfei was short of breath and stared at her.

Li Xian'er liked her angry look, and said with a sneering smile, "Master Zuodu Censor raised such a noisy daughter like you, and he didn't know that he would harm the young master of that family in the future."

"You!" Liu Feiling almost went mad at Li Xian'er's words.

Li Xian'er only raised her chin and looked at her arrogantly, truly interpreting what it means to be more domineering than a domineering person.

"...An Rong, you see, she has been seduced to the sky by just the status of Princess Qin." Xue Yaru, the daughter of the mighty general, watched Li Xian'er and Liu Feiling bickering from a distance, and followed Ning Anrong Quite disdainful to say, "If we meet again in the future, maybe she will look at people with her chin up."

Ning Anrong glanced at Li Xian'er indifferently, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "I'm afraid she was so stupid that she took the words that King Qin fell in love with her at first sight seriously, but she didn't know that the actions of King Qin in the previous court recently were to take She's using it as an object."

Xue Yaru also laughed, lowered her eyes and said: "I think Taifu Li already knows about the marriage given by the Holy Majesty at this moment, and he is in pain." After all, the other party has always been a pure minister who is loyal to the emperor, and now the mother and daughter are dead. If he wanted to enter the palace, it would be fine if he was really favored by the emperor, but he was forced to go by King Qin.

interesting.

Ning Anrong wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at Wen Sushu and Bai Guo at the head of the imperial garden, her eyes turned slightly cold.

"It's just two bad luck." Xue Yaru noticed it, curled her lips and said, "One is the son of a small official, and the other is just a waste that was raised in a remote courtyard by the Houfu. An Rong, they are not enough for you. afraid."

"Really?" Ning Anrong squinted at the two of them, but felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart, and only said to Xue Yaru, "But when the time is right, we still need to win over one or two."

Xue Yaru nodded indifferently.

At this moment, Bai Guo didn't know that she was being watched, and she was still staring at a mimosa plant without blinking.

He carefully reached out to touch the leaves of the mimosa, and the leaves curled up as if ticklish, which aroused his surprise.

"This is a mimosa." Seeing that he was having fun, Wen Sushu said with a light smile, "It's no wonder that it's the Dajin Imperial Palace. It's rare to see mimosa in this season, and it needs to be carefully raised." on."

Bai Guo smiled shyly, stumbled and asked, "Mimosa, is it very, very expensive?"

Wen Sushu shook his head and nodded again: "It's not too expensive, but it's hard to live in this kind of weather."

"This, this way." Bai Guo was locked up in the side courtyard of the Hou's mansion and grew up. He might not have as much knowledge as Wen Sushu from Jiangzhou. He was afraid that Wen Sushu would make fun of him, so he just put his hands behind his back. I'm ashamed to touch that mimosa plant again, I'm afraid that if I break it, I will provoke the anger of the nobles in the palace.

A group of people left the harem, and walked quietly for a while to the gate of the palace, and saw the carriages of various families coming to pick them up.

They were all in a hurry, seeing their master now, the servants were naturally happy and excited.

Saying goodbye to Wen Sushu, Bai Guo walked towards the frame with the logo of Changping Marquis Mansion, and the servants who had been waiting there for a long time surrounded him, smiling brightly with a lot of compliments and flattery:

"Congratulations, Eldest Young Master! Congratulations, Eldest Young Master!"

"The eldest son is now in his prime!"

"Is the eldest son tired? Do you want the younger one to beat your legs?"

"Eldest son, why don't you get in the car and take a nap first!"

"Is the eldest son thirsty, do you want the younger one to buy you some snacks?"

Bai Guo was surrounded by a few servants, he was nervous and overwhelmed and speechless for a moment, he was helped into the carriage by them when he was dizzy, and they told him to just rest well, the carriage was very stable, when he returned There will be no bumps on the road to the government.

Bai Guo, who was taken aback by the servant's enthusiasm: "..."

Fortunately, he still has a system in his body, comforting him and saying: "Our past is the same as today, you are now the prospective princess bestowed by the emperor, they will definitely curry favor with you."

Bai Guo whispered, "But it's too exaggerated."

The system used the tone of someone who has experienced it, and said very experienced: "Relax, the more exaggerated ones are yet to come."

The way back to the Marquis Mansion was as smooth and smooth as the servants had said. The news that Bai Guo was bestowed by Emperor Jin Yuan as Prince Jing's Concubine had already spread throughout the Marquis Mansion of Changping.

Marquis Changping was naturally overjoyed, he didn't expect that although his son was usually quiet, he would be able to do great things whenever there was any movement.However, He's health has only improved after more than half a month. When he heard the letter that Bai Guo was named Princess Jing, he couldn't help but smash the jade in the house.

"Why did this bastard get lucky!"

Holding the handkerchief, Mrs. He's original plan to let Bai Guo enter the palace was in vain, her teeth itch with hatred in her heart, but she had to put on a stiff smirk, and waited at the gate of the mansion with Marquis Changping front to greet.

When Bai Guo got off the carriage, what he saw was Changping Hou's face full of relief and He Shi who personally went up to help him get off the carriage.

"Mother, mother." Bai Guo called her with lowered eyes.

He covered his lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Young Master is back."

Bai Guo's eyelashes trembled slightly, she was still afraid of He Shi.Fang Qiao Chang Ping Hou also followed, only let He get out of the way, stroking his beard and talking to Bai Guo a lot, and then entered the mansion together.

In the evening, Marquis Changping was happy, and it was rare to have a family banquet in the Marquis' mansion, together with several families from the side room, they all called out and had fun together until midnight.

And Baiguo's courtyard also changed from the unnamed southern courtyard to Ding'anju, which is the sunniest on the west side, according to Changpinghou's orders.

On the night of the same day, in the study of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xie Lin was copying a scripture.

Halfway through the copy, he called Wang Youquan, the chief eunuch of the palace who had been listening to orders outside the door, to come in, and asked without raising his head, "What did the eldest son do today, did you encounter any unpleasantness?"

Wang Youquan bowed and lowered his eyes, and replied as a matter of routine: "The eldest son had a family banquet with the Marquis's mansion today. Although there were restraints during the process, no one who was short-sighted came forward to provoke him, and after the banquet was over, the eldest son Then I rested early. In addition, there was a message from the shadow guard in the palace that the Eldest Young Master seems to be quite fond of the mimosa in the imperial garden."

Xie Lin raised his eyes, a little surprised in his eyes.But he didn't know what else he thought of, so he simply put down the Langhao pen that was transcribing the scriptures in his hand, and ordered with a chuckle: "Since the eldest son likes it, you can ask someone to prepare the mimosa in the palace, and give it to me in two days." The eldest son sent it."

Wang Youquan lowered his eyes: "Yes."
