"These red plums are blooming so beautifully. If I could take them home, Sister Xin would definitely like them."
Shi Fuyin talked to Gan Tang with a relaxed expression. Thinking of the five blessings of plum blossoms, she clasped her hands and said, "Bless me, Goddess of Flowers. I hope I can lose the election quickly and leave the palace and go home early."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the "squeaking" sound of branches being trampled down behind him.
Shi Fuyin's expression changed, she turned around to look for the sound, and saw Xiao Ziqing standing in the pavilion, wearing a white fox and crane cloak.
When Xiao Ziqing saw Shi Fuyin had noticed him, he glared at the boy who made the noise, and walked out of the pavilion with a smile: "Miss Shi, what a coincidence!"
There was no one else in the plum forest. Shi Fuyin didn't want to cause any criticism. When she saw Xiao Ziqing approaching, she quickly took Gan Tang back a few steps and hurriedly said, "Meet An Guo Gong."
Seeing Shi Fuyin's distant look, Xiao Ziqing stood still at a distance, considered it and asked: "Why is Miss Shi here at this time? I heard that the Queen Mother is summoning you today, so you should wait at Chuxiu Palace.
Only when summoned."
Shi Fuyin explained: "I was waiting in the Chuxiu Palace. I only came here because a beautiful lady told me that my second sister came to Plum Blossom Pavilion."
He glanced at Xiao Ziqing and said, "I'm disturbing the Duke's plum blossom viewing. I'll leave now." With that, he quickly left with Gan Tang.
Seeing the master and servant leaving as if they were running away, Duofu was not happy: "Really, they can run faster than a rabbit. Master, you are not a tiger, you can still eat them."
Xiao Ziqing laughed out loud: "There are many people in the palace who talk a lot, so Miss Shi is right to avoid suspicion."
Duofu: "It's not enough to avoid suspicion. That Shi girl is too easy to trust others. The distance from here to the Chuxiu Palace is not short. By the time she returns, the Queen Mother may have already received other beautiful ladies."
Xiao Ziqing paused slightly, thinking of what he had just heard, Shi Fuyin said that she wanted to leave the palace and go home as soon as possible, and was silent for a moment: "Go and get the plum blossoms, and we will send them to the Empress Dowager."
Duofu quickly went into the pavilion to pick up plum blossoms. The master braved the cold wind to come to the plum blossom pavilion just to pick plum blossoms for the Empress Dowager.
In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was still taking a nap. Xiao Ziqing put the plum blossoms in a vase, and then took the remaining plum blossoms to the side hall.
"Yongan."
In the steamy side hall, a cold, thin girl with a slightly sick face was immersed in reading the storybook in her hand. When she saw Xiao Ziqing coming in, a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Brother Ziqing."
Xiao Ziqing stepped forward and took the storybook out of the girl's hand: "The imperial doctor often said that you think too much and should use your brain less. Why do you read the storybook again?"
Hearing this, bitterness appeared on the girl's face, and she looked at Xiao Ziqing: "I can't compare to you, Brother Ziqing. You are a man and can go wherever you want. I am tied up in the palace. If I want to understand the outside world, I can only
Let’s read the storybook to comfort myself.”
Xiao Ziqing's face showed distress: "Yong'an, take good care of yourself. As long as you are well, you can go anywhere."
Take good care of your body...
Thinking of his physical condition, Chu Yongan's eyes flashed with ridicule. Seeing Xiao Ziqing's face full of concern, he smiled and changed the subject: "Brother Ziqing, you came to see me at this time, but something happened?"
Xiao Ziqing thought of the reason why he came, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his face.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Yongan became more and more curious: "What is going on?"
Xiao Ziqing inserted the plum blossoms he brought into the vase and said while inserting them: "The beautiful ladies have already moved into Chuxiu Palace one after another. The Queen Mother also summoned them today."
Hearing this, Chu Yongan showed a look of surprise on his face and joked: "Brother Ziqing has a girl he likes?"
Xiao Ziqing glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense." After a pause, "I came here to ask you for a favor."
Chu Yongan nodded seriously: "Brother Ziqing, your business is my business. Just tell me, I will do it for you even if you go up to the mountains of swords and to the sea of fire."
Xiao Ziqing was a little dumbfounded: "There is no need to be so serious." He looked a little awkward, "You know, the Queen Mother is very concerned about my marriage. I will probably summon someone in the next two days.
Some pretty girls, that..."
"When the Empress Dowager summons the beautiful ladies, can you use your name to call one more girl to Shoukang Palace?"
Chu Yongan looked surprised: "Who?"
Xiao Ziqing: "...Miss Shi San from the Wuchang Bofu family."
Chu Yongan pondered: "Wuchang Bo's Mansion... Isn't this Wuchang Bo's Mansion not very prominent? Why do I feel like I haven't heard of it?"
Xiao Ziqing: "Wuchang Bo Mansion is in some decline, but a few good men have come in. As long as it is managed well, it is possible to regain its glory."
Chu Yongan frowned: "I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will not be happy with a girl from a declining uncle's house."
Xiao Ziqing naturally knew this: "That's why I came to you for help."
Chu Yongan looked at him: "Brother Ziqing, do you like that girl?"
Xiao Ziqing quickly denied: "It's nothing, she wants to go out of the palace, she doesn't want to be elected, I just want to help her." After a pause, "Such a clean and refreshing girl should not be trapped in the palace or the prince's palace."
Chu Yongan was silent: "The third girl of Shi was left in Chuxiu Palace. Someone probably took a fancy to her. Now you ask me to ask her to come to Shoukang Palace with other girls summoned by the Empress Dowager. Do you want her to come to Shoukang Palace with her?"
Others thought she was attracted by the Empress Dowager and then gave up on choosing her?"
Xiao Ziqing nodded: "Yes."
Chu Yongan: "Is this necessary? In all these years, you have never participated in anything related to the harem."
Xiao Ziqing clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Chu Yongan: "Thank you, sister Yongan."
Chu Yongan stared at him for a while and smiled: "Why should you and I be so polite? I can just help you."
...
Chuxiu Palace.
When Shi Fuyin came back from the Plum Blossom Pavilion, she didn't see any beautiful women. Everyone went to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace. It wasn't until mid-afternoon that everyone came back one after another.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because of Shi Fuyin's absence, the correctional mother directly banned her feet and did not let her eat dinner.
When the other show girls saw it, they felt that Shi Fuyin had offended their superiors and that her defeat was certain, so they no longer regarded her as a competitor.
Shi Fu was at ease with the music. Seeing Shi Fuyue coming to see her, she couldn't help but remind her: "Second sister, the reason why I missed the Queen Mother's summons is because Miss Zeng told me that you went to the Plum Blossom Pavilion and asked me to go
Looking for you."
Shi Fuyue was stunned: "No way, I have never been to Plum Blossom Pavilion."
Shi Fuyin: "Second sister, I am telling you this for no other reason than to tell you, stay away from Miss Zeng, she is very scheming, don't let her fool you."
Shi Fuyue was not stupid and nodded: "Third sister, don't worry, I know how to do it."
In the next two days, various concubines summoned the beautiful ladies from the Chuxiu Palace. When Shi Fuyin saw that Shi Fuyue was still following Zeng Ruoyun in and out, she sighed and was too lazy to care.
On November 23, the nun beside the Queen Mother came to Chuxiu Palace.
The Empress Dowager wanted to see Prime Minister An Guo. Not only the people in the palace knew about it, but also the beautiful ladies. Seeing the nuns in Shoukang Palace, all the beautiful ladies cheered up.
Duke An Guo was one of the four most handsome men in the capital. He was an elegant and noble man. Even though his status was not as good as that of the royal family, it was not much different. Marrying him as the main wife was no worse than marrying into the royal family.
The beautiful girls that the Empress Dowager is interested in are noble girls who combine family background, appearance, talent, learning, and character.
"Dongfang Yunrong, Xiahou Huanyan..."
Seeing the ladies leaving with the nuns of Shoukang Palace, the ladies who were not favored were extremely disappointed.
"Dong An Guo is the only child of the Xiao family and has no brothers or sisters to support him, so the wife chosen by the Empress Dowager must come from a prominent family. Look at those who left. They were either from the Duke's Palace, the Hou Palace, or the Lian Bo Palace.
There are no girls."
Just as the show girls were talking about it, another nun from Shoukang Palace came to Chuxiu Palace.
"Who are the third girls of the Shi family? Please follow me to Shoukang Palace."
Chu Xiu Palace fell into silence, and everyone including the nanny looked at Shi Fuyin, who had a look of astonishment on her face.
Watching Shi Fuyin leave, the jealousy in Zeng Ruoyun's eyes could hardly be concealed.
what happened?
Why did the Empress Dowager summon Shi Fuyin?
How could Shi Fuyin be worthy of An Guogong?
Shi Fuyue also looked confused. Although her fourth uncle's family had done a lot of things to change her impression of them after they returned home, this could not hide the fact that the third sister had grown up in the border areas and her behavior was not in line with the ladies.
Standard facts.
Compared with the Dongfang girls and Xiahou girls who were called away earlier, the third sister is really inferior to them in every aspect.
How could such a third sister be attracted by the Empress Dowager?
On the other side, Shi Fuyin was also a little confused. She didn't come back to her senses until she saw Chu Yongan dragging his sick body and insisting on coming out to see something strange.
"What are you doing in a daze? I haven't met Princess Yong'an yet!"
Shi Fuyin came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "My maid, Shi Fuyin, has met Princess Yong'an."
Chu Yongan looked at Shi Fuyin with a somewhat confused expression. He felt that there was nothing special about him. Why did Brother Ziqing fall in love with this girl? Latest website:
