Although Luo Qingyan was banned, the draft was still not affected in any way. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan read books, played chess, and admired flowers in the mansion every day, but they never relaxed their attention to the draft.
"I have a Mian San, and with one more move, I can reach the fourth. Prince, please be careful?" Yun Shang said with a smile on her face, holding Bai Zi in her hand.
Luo Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "My king is a two-headed snake, so the princess should be careful."
Yun Shang was stunned and looked at the chessboard. Sure enough, she saw that Luo Qingyan had turned into a two-headed snake inadvertently. Yun Shang frowned and snorted coldly, "The prince is too treacherous, but
, I still don’t know who will win, so keep going.”
Luo Qingyan smiled and then said, "Tomorrow is the second selection of the show girl. Is the princess ready?"
Yun Shang's eyes fell on the chessboard, dropped a piece, and said with a smile, "I also have a two-headed snake." After saying that, she changed the subject again, "I have already thought of how to make Su Ruying inadvertently
He was out in no time.”
"Huh?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang, "How is it?"
"Not only Su Ruying, but also several show girls who have a close relationship with the queen, as well as concubine Shu, I won't let them pass the second selection of show girls. It's just a method, keep it secret for now." Yun Shang said with a smile.
.
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, but did not ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Then I will wait and see."
On the second day of the second show girl selection, Yun Shang got up early and accompanied Luo Qingyan to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts for a while. After breakfast, she read and practiced calligraphy in the study, and took a nap after lunch.
After a while, he got up and walked around in the yard. When he came back, Qianyin was already waiting, "Prince and concubine, the list of candidates for the second selection of show girls has come out."
Yun Shang nodded, took it, unfolded it and looked at it with Luo Qingyan, the smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
A bright light flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes, he gave Yun Shang a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "The princess is very powerful. Now you can tell me what method was used to get Su Ruying and the others out."
Is it over?"
A smile flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "Well, this method is not very fair, so I'll let Qian Yin tell you."
Hearing this, Qianyin covered her mouth and laughed for a while before saying, "The second selection of show girls is mainly for the female officer to check the body of the show girl to see if there are any defects or obvious scars on the body. The queen and concubine Shu
The beautiful girls we are trying to protect are naturally protected, and we cannot stab them to leave scars on their bodies. Moreover, if the beautiful girls are stabbed, the queen will definitely pursue them with all their strength, which is a bit risky. The hidden line we laid in the palace will be sent
It’s come in handy…”
As Qianyin said, she couldn't help laughing again, "The second selection of show girls needs to take off their clothes in a separate room, and then accept the inspection of the female officers one by one. We will send people to change clothes in certain show girls.
There is some medicinal powder in the tea placed in the room. It is not poison and cannot be tested with a silver needle. It is just that after drinking, the body will emit some peculiar smell. The beautiful lady is serving His Majesty, so it is natural that the body smells bad.
, there were four or five female officials who inspected, and the queen could only bribe two or three, so these people were eliminated."
Luo Qingyan laughed, raised his hand and scratched Yun Shang's nose, and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming up with such a damaging method. Who made this medicine?"
"Of course it's the princess." Qianyin covered her mouth and laughed, "And in order to prevent the queen from finding out the clues, each beauty has different medicinal powders, and the parts that emit odor are also different. Some are under the armpits.
Some are feet, some are mouths..."
Yun Shang was also a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "I was forced to panic, so I thought of no other solution, but looking at this list, the effect is pretty good."
Luo Qingyan smiled and nodded, "But we can't take it lightly. From today on, the beautiful girls who pass the second selection will receive various teachings from the palace ladies in the palace. Half a month later, they will be personally selected by the Queen and His Majesty.
They have been living in the palace for the past half month, so if the queen wants to take action, this is the best time."
"Well, I know." Yun Shang said seriously, "I have already told them to be careful and not to let anyone pull their pigtails, and I also told the palace officials to take care of them, especially Lin Youran.
, I’m afraid it will be the Queen’s key target.”
But neither the Queen nor Yun Shang could have imagined that Lin Youran's favor would come so quickly and so unprepared.
On the morning of the third day after Xiu Nu entered the palace, Ning Qian from the palace quietly sent someone to deliver a letter to Yun Shang, saying that Xia Huanyu had named Lin Youran a talented person.
Yun Shang was having breakfast when she heard this. She was stunned when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan. After a while, she asked, "But what happened? Lin Youran was still a show girl who had not passed the third round of selection. Why was she suddenly registered?"
Are you a talented person?"
The palace servant who came to report the news quickly said, "I heard that Your Majesty was wandering in the harem yesterday and saw Lin Youran who was being punished by the female training officer to sweep fallen leaves on the roadside. At that time, Lin Youran was sweeping the fallen leaves and singing softly.
When His Majesty heard about it, he was astonished, so he issued an edict to confer a title on the talented person, and last night he recruited a talented person to take care of him."
Yun Shang frowned, "Being punished by the female training officer? Lin Youran was often punished by the female training officer in the palace?"
"Yes." The palace servant nodded quickly, "I heard from the palace servant in Yuxiu Palace that Miss Lin's learning rules are the same as those of other beautiful ladies, and she is very good at what she does. However, the female training officer always looks for something.
They are looking for excuses to find fault with Miss Lin, but Miss Lin is an open-minded person who doesn't care about anything. She doesn't care much every time she is punished and has never complained."
Yun Shang nodded and was silent for a long time before saying, "I understand. Please go back to the palace and say something to Xiang Gui's concubine. Since Lin Youran has been awarded the title of Hui Cai Ren, the person serving you must have two trustworthy people no matter what.
By the way, I asked the concubine Xiang to send some gifts to congratulate me and send me a message, saying that Lin Youran doesn't have to worry and just act according to plan."
The palace man responded and retreated to resume his life. Yun Shangfang said calmly, "Do you remember the last time I was imprisoned? I said that I mentioned Lin Youran to Your Majesty. I'm afraid this time
This is what your Majesty did deliberately. Your Majesty must have taken my request to heart. I am afraid that ever since the beautiful lady entered the palace, she has always paid attention to Lin Youran. The female official must have been ordered by the queen to do everything possible to make things difficult for Lin.
Leisurely, after Your Majesty found out, he came up with this method and directly skipped the three selections and selected Lin Youran into the harem."
Luo Qingyan nodded gently, took two bites of the food and then said, "This saves a lot of trouble."
"Yes." Yun Shang also nodded and chuckled again, "I'm afraid the queen is secretly upset in Weiyang Palace now."
Yun Shang was not wrong about this, but the people in Weiyang Palace were feeling depressed about this matter.
The Queen sat on the chair, with a sneer on her lips, raised her foot and kicked the person kneeling in front of her, "I have raised you for so many years, and you can't handle even the smallest thing, so what use do you have?"
After staying in the palace for so many years, I didn’t know that His Majesty would take a walk in the palace at that time every day. I asked you not to make Lin Youran’s life easy. It would be better for you to send her directly to His Majesty’s dragon bed.
I would like to ask you a question, are you the craftsman sent by Ning Yunshang?"
The man's body was knocked crooked by the kick, but he quickly knelt down straight and said repeatedly, "My queen, please forgive me, this slave is really confused..."
"Confused?" The queen snorted coldly, "During the second selection of show girls, Ru Ying lost the selection inexplicably. I asked you to participate in the selection of show girls, just to look after you, but you still haven't.
If you find the reason, what use do I need from you? It’s not as good as raising a dog, which can also look after the home and care for the home. You can’t even handle a small thing well.”
The person who was kneeling on the ground and dressed like a female official kept saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
When the queen saw her appearance, she became even more angry. She grabbed the teacup at hand and smashed it towards the female officer's forehead. The teacup hit the female officer's forehead, but was bounced again.
He landed on the ground and rolled around several times, "Get out!"
The female officer trembled, kowtowed twice quickly, stood up and left.
Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly called to the maid standing beside her to clean up the teacups and stains on the ground. However, she quickly walked behind the queen and helped the queen rub her shoulders, while softly saying, "Why do you need to be angry, Miss Ru Ying?"
She has an outstanding appearance and is recognized as a talented woman in Jincheng. When the empress had nothing to do, she summoned Miss Ruying into the palace to spend more time with the empress. She went back and forth and allowed your majesty to meet her several times, and your majesty will definitely be attracted to her."
The queen raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Seeing this, the maid quickly helped the queen rub her forehead.
The queen sighed softly, "I originally wanted to marry Ru Ying to Prince Rui, but I was afraid that someone would leak the news and Prince Rui would know about it. What happened at the Dragon Phoenix Tower that day was clearly directed at me. I can't do that.
It is not impossible to marry Prince Rui and enter the palace to become my helper. Now His Majesty stays in the Xiangzhu Palace all day long, and a group of new people will soon be admitted to the palace. I only hear the smiles of the new people, but not the old ones.
People cried. After all, His Majesty has not stayed in Weiyang Palace overnight for nearly twenty days. If it continues like this, it will be bad. Unfortunately, Ru Ying has lost the election again. In this harem, I am really alone.
.”
The palace maid hurriedly said, "If your Majesty is interested, after the new couple enters the palace, you might as well choose some people to join her. Although they are not as close as Ru Ying, it is not difficult to control the other party's weaknesses if you know them well.
control."
The queen sighed softly and said calmly, "That's all we can do. In your free time, seize the Yuxiu Palace and see if there are any that are good, at least better than Lin Youran. Send someone to investigate the background and select some backgrounds.
Those who are cleaner will submit the list to me."
