Little Wife Treasure [Rebirth]

In the next few days in Chuxiu Palace, the etiquette teachings of the noble sons and daughters became more and more strict. In addition to the exhausting daily exercises, the palace nurse also arranged for palace attendants, the purpose is to Supervise their words and deeds, appearance and appearance.

Compared with most people's complaints, Bai Guo benefited from the careful teaching of Nanny Gui and Nanny Ping before, so it was not that difficult to deal with it.

In addition to Baiguo, representatives of the heirs of the top families in Beijing, such as Ning Anrong, the daughter of Duke Ning, Lu Zhiliang, the son of the Minister of the Household Department, Li Xianer, the daughter of the current Taifu, and Xue Yaru, the daughter of the mighty general, seem to have already established the rules of etiquette. Carved into the bones, every breath, every breath, is full of decent manners, dignified appearance, and temperament and bearing, all of which are outstanding among all the noble sons and noble daughters.

A few more days passed, and the factions among the noble sons and noble daughters gradually became clear, and there were occasional frictions, but they were all small tricks to pick up sex in private.But the people in Dajin Palace are all good people, as long as it is not something out of the ordinary, they will just turn a blind eye.

For a moment, in the Chuxiu Palace, which seemed to be calm on the surface, there were undercurrents surging in invisible corners.

In fact, Bai Guo is not popular among this group of noble sons and noble daughters. Although he is a son of the Hou family, but because of his taciturnity and silence, he seems to be slow and easy to control, so there are one or two people with crooked intentions secretly watching him. , and planned to secretly stretch their feet when everyone was practicing walking gait together, in order to make Bai Guo look ugly.

If she loses her manners in public in front of Mammy Gong, if she falls on all fours and looks ugly, the most serious thing is that she will be disqualified from the draft.

Bai Guo still didn't know anything about other people's malice, but the system sounded the alarm early in his heart. Perhaps the malice against Bai Guo was too strong. Before the legs and feet of the two men touched the tip of Bai Guo's shoe, the system automatically turned on. The third-level self-defense mode realizes the unique malicious rebound program in the interstellar world. Under the extreme force of gravity, the two people's legs softened for a while, and their calves seemed to be cramp.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"My leg hurts!"

The two yelled at the same time, hugging their calves and rolling on the ground in pain, they didn't have the image of children from any aristocratic family.

Bai Guo was taken aback when she heard the pain of the two, turned around in surprise, and hurriedly asked the system in her heart: "God, what's wrong with them?!"

The system proudly said: "It's just two bad embryos who want to bully you. I just cast a small spell on them and punished them slightly."

Bai Guo was puzzled, and looked at the two with complicated eyes: "But I don't know them, why do they want to kill me?"

System: "I just think you're easy to bully. Humans like to pinch soft persimmons."

When they were talking in their minds, everyone in Chuxiu Palace also turned their attention to the two people who suffered the consequences of themselves, and exclaimed in small voices.

"Stop!" Seeing the commotion in the line, Mammy Gong pushed aside the crowd and walked to the middle, asking in surprise, "What's wrong with Qian Guizi and Liu Guinv? What's wrong?"

The noble lady standing next to the two of them spoke first: "Nurse, their legs seem to be cramping."

Li Xian'er's companion, Qu Huayan, said in a low voice at this moment: "But how can I look at it, these two seem to be suffering from epilepsy?"

The palace nurse has sensitive ears, and she said sharply, "Qu Guinu, be careful with your words!"

"But I've seen other people suffer from epilepsy before, and it's like this!" Qu Huayan felt extremely wronged. Years ago, when she returned home from a trip with her friends in the countryside, the gatekeeper suddenly fell ill. Her limbs twitched and she rolled on the ground, foaming at the mouth. She was frightened at the time, and later learned that the disease was called epilepsy from the servants.

Seeing her expression like this, the noble sons and noble ladies in the side hall couldn't help but believe a lot, and they all covered their mouths and noses and moved away from Qian and Liu.

Some people even asked Qu Huayan in a low voice: "Is this disease contagious?" You must know that the two of them ate and lived together in the same place a few days ago. Miserable them? !

Gong Nai's expression was cold and stern, so she had to quickly order a few palace people to carry Qian and Liu to the soft bed, and arranged to call the imperial doctor to see it quickly.

Standing in the crowd, Bai Guo saw the imperial doctor coming to take the pulse of the two people, looked at the eyelids and tongue coating, and whispered worriedly in his mind: "God, you won't let them really have the epilepsy that Miss Qu said, right?" ? Is the disease curable?"

"Sheep epilepsy is impossible." The system carefully explained to him, "The protection system only bounced back their malice, and according to the system's judgment on the degree of malice, the pain in the legs of these two people will gradually recover after three days. .”

Bai Guo pursed her lips: "That's it." After a sentence, although he understood the general idea, he couldn't help but think that the gods are unpredictable, and then said some fairy language that he didn't understand.

On the side of the long couch, the imperial physician who examined the pulse took the pulse of Qian and Liu, slowly frowned, and said inscrutably: "Please trouble me to move these two young masters and girls into the room, so that the old man can give them an injection." Two, ease the pain."

Gong Nai asked: "My lord, do you know what illness Qian Guizi and Zhao Guinv are suffering from?"

The imperial physician stroked a tuft of beard on his chin, closed his eyes and shook his head, waved his hands and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

After the two were carried indoors by the palace guards, among the noble sons and noble daughters waiting in the side hall, there were more and more discussions. Some people thought that Qian and Liu were framed by people, but people like Qu Huayan firmly believed that the two were It is a disease of epilepsy.

But no matter what happened, Qian and Liu would definitely not be able to stay in the palace any longer.

Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, the palace maid ordered the palace servants to go to Qian and Liu's houses outside the palace to deliver the message, and only let the family members pick them up in a horse-drawn carriage.

The crowd mourned.

Xu Shiqian and Liu were sent back outside the palace to stimulate the remaining 34 candidates. In the next two days, Chuxiu Palace fell into a real calm. Even Li Xianer, who was always confronting Ning Anrong The flags and drums also died down, and they completely stopped.

On the ninth day, according to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is the day when the noble sons and noble daughters are selected for the hall, and it is also the last round of deciding whether to stay and the future of fate.Probably because the Queen Mother Feng died in the Yuan Dynasty and there was no owner in the harem, so in this general election, the palace selection was arranged in the Shoukang Palace of the Queen Mother.

This day is finally ushered in. The noble sons and noble daughters finally replaced the uniform draft uniforms distributed in Chuxiu Palace, and changed back to the gorgeous clothes that conform to the regulations of the imperial palace amidst anxiety and uneasiness.And the palace servants were considered considerate this time, and specially sent high-quality gouache and rouge to each room.

That's all for your daughter, is this for your son to use together?

Bai Guo was at a loss, holding the incense box exuding a strong fragrance in his hand, and holding it to Wen Sushu: "Mr. Wen, you, do you use it?"

Wen Su's face remained unchanged, but he took a step back: "...No need."

Bai Guo pursed her lips and said distressedly: "I, I haven't used it either."

"Bring something!" Tan Qingsong walked in from the door, snatched the rouge box from Bai Guo's hand, and said bluntly, "You don't need it, so give it to me!"

Although Bai Guo was annoyed at his rude behavior of grabbing things, but the rouge box was really useless by herself, so she followed Tan Qingsong to it.

When everyone gathered in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, Bai Guo was surprised to find that besides the noble ladies who had dressed up, there were also many noble sons with gorgeous and exquisite makeup, which were only seven-point good-looking on weekdays. At this time, it became a nine-point surprise.

Bai Guo swallowed, subconsciously touched her face.

"You don't need to think that you are inferior to others." Wen Sushu's faint voice sounded, "You are prettier than them."

Bai Guo blinked, and whispered enviously, "Wen, Mr. Wen is really, really good-looking."

Wen Sushu saw that Bai Guo was sincerely praising his appearance, and showed a faint smile.

After talking a few more words, the two of them returned to the positions arranged by the palace nurses, and walked slowly towards the Shoukang Palace under the leadership of the palace people.

At this time, in Shoukang Palace.

"Zhang Guijun is here!"

"Concubine Rong is here!"

"Concubine Hui is here!"

"Concubine Li is here!"

"Ai's house is very busy today." The Empress Dowager Zhao held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. Although she was nearly sixty years old, she was in good health. There was a Buddha-like smile on her round face that had been carefully maintained. A few little hooves, usually lazy to greet you, but this morning I couldn't sit still."

Concubine Rong sat down, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, please don't joke, there are no concubines, but I just heard that Ning Guogong actually sent the girl from the mansion into the palace, so I'm really curious."

"What are you curious about?" Concubine Hui took a sip of the teacup, "Wait until she becomes a family sister with us, when do you want to see it?"

Concubine Li interjected, "I heard that the girl from the Ning family is quite as charming as Empress Wen Shude back then."

The empress Wen Shude she was talking about was the former empress, and all the concubines present couldn't help but sneer in their hearts even though the smiles on their faces remained unchanged when they heard Li concubine's words.Originally, they were all sisters who were close relatives, how could they be completely different?

Empress Dowager Zhao's heart was also like a bright mirror, she only turned her head to look at Zhang Guijun at this moment, and said with a worried face: "Your health is getting better?"

Zhang Guijun has always been weak, he needs to take a Ningqi Pill every day before he can get out of bed and move around.Usually, the queen mother took pity on him and spared his greetings, but today the emperor is choosing a concubine, Zhang Guijun is the No. 1 concubine in the palace, but it is difficult to refuse not to be present, so now his complexion looks quite haggard and pale.

Zhang Guijun coughed a few times, his face was as transparent as white paper, and he said in a low voice: "Please trouble the Empress Dowager to be considerate, my concubine is fine."

Empress Dowager Zhao was worried about him, so she ordered the nurse beside her to bring a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest porridge, wait for Zhang Guijun to drink a few sips, and see how his face gradually turns rosy.

"The emperor is here! His Royal Highness is here! His Royal Highness is here! His Royal Highness is here! His Royal Highness is here!"

The eunuch's long chants were introduced into the Shoukang Palace, and all the concubines stood up and bowed to greet them.

Empress Dowager Zhao also stood up, took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Why did Your Majesty come so early?"

Emperor Jin Yuan was in the prime of his life, he reached out to support the Queen Mother, and after sitting on the main seat, he motioned for the concubine to get up, and then he said with a smile: "It's not that the fourth son can't wait to see his future princess, it's so urging to my ears It was painful, so he made his wish in advance."

Empress Dowager Zhao shook her head, and said helplessly, "King Qin has always been a rascal, that is, the emperor, you always spoil him."

Qin Wang Xie Cheng didn't want to listen, so he hurriedly said: "Grandmother, how can your grandson be like what you said?" The concubines covered their mouths and chuckled quite cooperatively, and Xie Cheng became even more annoyed, "Grandmother, look at the empresses, and you will laugh now. If the noble ladies come later, I don't know what to do." What about grandchildren!"

Empress Dowager Zhao understood, she turned her head helplessly and said to Emperor Jin Yuan: "The king of Qin is afraid that his reputation will not be good and he will not be able to marry a wife?"

Emperor Jin Yuan narrowed his eyes, snorted, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "He's got it, the youngest is not afraid of not being able to marry a wife, so why is it his turn to worry about himself? Besides, My sons are all outstanding, who would dare to look down on them?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao even said yes, and seeing that everyone was present, she turned her head and asked the servant at the side: "Are your sons and daughters here?"

The servants lowered their eyes: "Your sons and daughters have been waiting outside for a long time."

Empress Dowager Zhao waved: "Then announce it."

At this time, the noble sons and daughters waiting outside the Shoukang Palace were all brought into the palace, and the palace selection officially began.

The Emperor Jinyuan sat at the top, and the internal servant presented the roster to read out one by one. Those whose names were read had to stand in the front row for the Emperor Jinyuan and the Empress Dowager to look at and ask. If it is accused of being given to the children of the royal family, it will be given the next-level sandalwood plaque.

Emperor Jin and Yuan didn't care much about the draft. Most of the nobles and noble daughters were just looked at by him, and the rest was asked by the queen mother. If there were some princes who liked it, the queen mother or them would come forward. .

At the beginning of the hall selection, the first two rounds of noble ladies were not very conspicuous. Among the 12 people, only one jade medal was left by Emperor Jin Yuan in the end.When the eunuch called for the third time, everyone in Shoukang Palace cheered up as soon as the name came out.

"Ning Anrong, the daughter of Duke Xuanning, Li Xian'er, the daughter of Grand Tutor Li Qianguang, Xue Yaru, the daughter of the mighty general, Lu Zhiliang, the son of the Minister of the Household Department, Wen Sushu, the son of the Jiangzhou General Judge, and Qu Huayan, the sister of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Before—see you—!”

Among the six, Wen Sushu has the most outstanding appearance, while the other five are all hot candidates in this draft.

"Who made this roster? It's really a big deal to watch the excitement." Concubine Rong covered the corners of her mouth and said to Concubine Hui next to her with a chuckle, "Sister, do you want to guess, these six people will wait a while." How many will His Majesty keep?"

Concubine Hui raised her eyes, glanced at the young and beautiful young girl in front of the hall, touched the hairpin on the top of her head, and said casually, "Who knows, it's just that the new queen sister who we are going to worship in the future is standing there Woolen cloth."

Concubine Rong smiled, "I don't think so."

The undercurrent was raging under the palace concubine, each of them had their own thoughts, and the six people who were called to come forward were also nervous in their hearts.

Emperor Jin and Yuan lived high above, and he knew the number in his mind when the servant supervisor sang, but at this time, he still asked the six people to raise their heads one by one: "Which one is the daughter of Duke Ning?"

Ning Anrong stabilized his mind, and bowed in a mere manner: "My daughter, Ning Anrong, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Emperor Jin Yuan looked her up and down, showing the imperial majesty, a smile appeared on his calm and generous face: "It's quite like a sister." After saying that, he raised his sleeves, and the inner guard hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the jade plaque to her. Ning Anrong was selected.

Ning Anrong's complexion remained unchanged, and he kowtowed again: "My lady, thank you Your Majesty."

After that, Lu Zhiliang, Xue Yaru, and Qu Huayan were all selected, and only Li Xian'er and Wen Sushu were left among the six.

"The son of Jiangzhou Tongjuan, he looks good." Emperor Jin Yuan frowned slightly for some reason, with some hesitation in his expression, he looked at the prince sitting headed by the kings, "Zhaoer thinks this son gave you to be How is the concubine?"

The prince Xie Zhao was gentle by nature, because the princess concubine had just passed away due to dystocia a few days ago, she was quite distracted for a while, but now that Emperor Jin Yuan pointed her to him, she subconsciously looked at the handsome and bright profile of Wen Sushu in the center of the hall face, was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes again and said: "...my son is only determined by the father."

Emperor Jin Yuan nodded.

Wen Sushu was appointed by Emperor Jin Yuan as the side concubine of the crown prince, which made many noble sons and noble daughters look enviously, and Bai Guo pinched his palms for Wen Sushu at that time, and now he got this result, which is a pleasant surprise .

"...the daughter of Grand Tutor Li Qianguang." Above, Emperor Jinyuan Xuxu closed his eyes and waved his hands.

This is lost.

Li Xian'er's original confident face suddenly faded into a powerless paleness. She was about to say something, but the king of Qin on the other side of the throne touched his head and said blushingly: "Father?"

Emperor Jin Yuan opened his eyes and said helplessly, "What's wrong with you, fourth child?"

Qin Wang Xie Cheng hesitated, his eyes turned to look at Queen Mother Zhao, his eyes were full of prayers.

Empress Dowager Zhao has always loved Qin Wang, and Qin Wang's birth mother, Concubine Li, is a low-ranking mother who is not easy to speak, so she softened her heart and said for him: "Cheng'er's family still lacks a caring person who can help him take care of the backyard. See if this girl from the Li family is suitable?"

Emperor Jin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and thought for a moment: "I never thought about it before, but this fourth son has sharp eyes."

King Qin's eyes were full of grievances and said: "My son fell in love with Miss Li at first sight."

Li Xian'er over there was full of surprise, and blushed at what King Qin said so bluntly.

Seeing this, Emperor Jinyuan snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, look at your petty air, how can you have the slightest tolerance for me, if you disagree with you, don't you want to cry?"

The King of Qin said with a smile, "If you can get a beautiful woman by crying, the minister there is also willing."

Emperor Jin Yuan had no choice but to allow him.However, Li Xian'er, who lost the election, changed her body and got a sandalwood plaque engraved with the words "King of Qin", and her identity as Princess Qin was not lost.

In this way, among several princes, at this time, only Prince Jing is left who has not asked for the concubine.

And speaking of it, King Jing was quite calm. Once he entered the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, this person didn't even give him a look, and only half-closed his eyes with his elbows, as if this general election had nothing to do with him. relationship.

"Pei Qingqing, the daughter of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, is gentle and virtuous, with both talents and looks, third child, just open your eyes and see, how is this girl?" After another round of elections, Emperor Jin Yuan finally ordered King Jing to thank Lin.

But before Xie Lin opened his mouth, Pei's daughter almost lost her legs in fright.

Why is this evil prince?

It has been heard that among the four sons of the emperor at that time, the crown prince was virtuous, the king of Yu was honest, and the king of Qin escaped. Only the king of Jing was surly and tyrannical by nature, with an unstable temper and liked to kill.

There are rumors in the market that King Jing once commanded three thousand soldiers and horses to smear tens of thousands of bandits in the south, killing hundreds of miles of corpses in one day, and frightened a caravan passing by by chance, thinking that they had crashed into the eighteenth floor of hell.

Because of this, King Jing became famous in the first battle, but his tyrannical behavior has also been talked about to this day.

So when he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the people in the palace with a pair of cold eyes like ink, the daughter of the Pei family couldn't help shaking her legs.

"Father is going to point me to such a concubine for the first time?" Xie Lin raised his eyelids and sneered with a jade-like magnetic voice, "I'm afraid this girl will be scared to death before she gets married into the palace."

Emperor Jin Yuan didn't expect his son's reputation to be so fierce outside. He sighed, waved his hand and asked someone to help the frightened Pei family girl down, and said that the draft would continue.

Xie Lin half-closed his eyes, and resumed his previous attitude, but Emperor Jin and Yuan saw the wrench on his thumb, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it looks like he doesn't care on the surface, but in his heart he still wants to marry the princess, doesn't he?

Emperor Jin Yuan made up his mind, and for a moment he was determined to pick out a good one for his troubled son from the rest of the people, so he cheered up again, and even asked more questions.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there were already more than ten people selected in this draft, and the chances of the emperor choosing someone for him was very low. I'm afraid they all went to see Princess Jing on behalf of King Jing.

Since then, the noble sons and noble daughters who are called forward can only face bitterness, and the inner struggle is even more intense.For a moment, they were afraid of King Yu Jing's violent temper, greedy for life and afraid of death, and at the same time thought that if they could become Princess Jing, being a royal wife would be better than staying in the palace?

But among the crowd, only Bai Guo's mind is the calmest.

After all, Nanny Ping once mentioned King Jing to him——

"Although His Royal Highness King Jing is no better than the prince, he is also graceful, extraordinarily noble, and beyond the reach of others."

"...When the eldest son enters the palace in the future, he will be able to see King Jing's demeanor in person."

Nanny Ping's evaluation of King Jing was still echoing in her heart, Bai Guo didn't notice the faint fear in the eyes of the people around her, she just quietly moved her stiff legs, and took advantage of another round of noble ladies and noble sons to come forward to see her. In the gap, for the first time in his life, he had the courage to secretly run in the direction where King Jing had spoken just now, looking curiously.

In the distance, Xie Lin seemed to feel something.

He opened his eyes like ink, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

Poems often say, "There are bandits and gentlemen, who are like cutting like learning, and cutting like grinding."

Bai Guo inexplicably remembered this ancient saying in his heart, and stood there, quietly blushing.
