A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

On the first day of court after the Lantern Festival, the ministers heard from the emperor himself that a son who had been lost among the people had been found, and the identity of the child's biological mother was revealed to the world, causing an uproar in the court.

The common people did not expect that the emperor would not treat them as outsiders. He went to the flower boat and told them about sleeping with an innocent flower girl.

Many women did not expect that the emperor would dare to act, and they admired him even more.

There are also people who are following this wave and going to the Qinhuai River to see the beauty of those Huaihe women who even the emperor was fascinated by.

In short, many people who were ready to discredit the emperor failed in their plans.

King Dongshan didn't expect the emperor to admit his mistake first. He scolded the emperor in the palace. If he hadn't had another trick, he would have been very angry!

Others who also want to see the emperor's jokes are waiting in vain.

Only the Qinhuai River business was so booming, all the boats were full, and the flower girls made a lot of money. They thanked Lian Nu in private for her kindness. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't be as valuable as they are now.

After Ah Huai's identity was revealed, the emperor would naturally not treat Ah Huai's mother badly.

The emperor named A Huai's mother the Lotus Concubine and gave her a grand burial.

Ah Huai wants to go back to Jingzhou to handle the matter of his mother's posthumous title.

When Ah Huai left the capital, he asked Yan Bao: "Do you want to go to Jingzhou to see Brother Shen and his sister-in-law? After you left last year, they all missed you very much."

Yan Bao thought, this is not because she is one year older this year and can no longer go out casually. Her parents do not allow it. Yan Bao can only shake his head.

Ah Huai regretfully planned to leave.

Yan Bao gave him three tips and told him that it might be helpful to him if he opened them and took a look when he was in trouble.

Ah Huai was so moved that he hugged Yan Bao. The Thirteenth Prince coughed lightly: "Brother, have a good trip. When you come back, Yan Bao and I will come to pick you up."

The Thirteenth Prince glanced at him sideways: "Take good care of Yan Bao. If Yan Bao loses weight, it's your fault for not taking good care of him."

The Thirteenth Prince nodded: "Brother, don't worry."

Ah Huai was worried. If the Thirteenth Prince hadn't met Yan Bao first, how could he have become Yan Bao's child adopter? It had to be him anyway.

When he thought that he and Yan Bao were not destined to be together, Ah Huai looked at the Thirteenth Prince with a very dissatisfied look.

Yan Bao: "..."

She is not a three-month-old child who needs someone to take care of her. She is obviously almost six years old and she can take care of herself.

When A Huai left this time, the emperor was afraid that something might happen to him, so he sent many useful people, including a bodyguard with good martial arts, to protect A Huai personally and keep him healthy.

Mainly because the Thirteenth Prince was good at Qinggong. Ah Huai was envious when he heard that he had learned Kung Fu. The Thirteenth Prince could learn Kung Fu, so why couldn't he?

You can't always wait for others to save you if you encounter bad people in the future, right?

Ah Huai thought of Yan Bao's performance on that day with the water bandits and knew that Yan Bao was also good at kung fu.

Ah Huai is already a bit old for martial arts training. I'm afraid he won't be very good at Qing Gong. He can still climb over a wall.

I can only learn some boxing and kicking skills.

Ah Huai doesn't mind, as long as he can kill a bad guy with one punch.

Guard: "..."

After sending A Huai away, Yan Bao and the Thirteenth Prince went to the Shen family together. Mrs. Shen knew that Yan Bao wanted to go to Jingzhou, but she didn't agree. She wanted to go, but it wasn't that Shen Chieffu didn't agree.

A few days after the new year came to power, a minister proposed a draft.

Many ministers with daughters and granddaughters of school age agreed.

The emperor declined a few words and nodded.

The talent show is a big event. After Yan Bao found out, she didn't want to go to Jingzhou anymore. She would first see how many beauties could be selected from this batch of beauty pageants.

Speaking of which, there were indeed many women in the emperor's harem, and only two or three of them were favored in the ring.

Currently, the most favored one is Concubine Jiang. Her mother is very favored in the harem because of her noble son, and the emperor is also willing to favor her.

Concubine Jing could bear it, the baby was almost three months old, Concubine Jing didn't let any news out, and the Thirteenth Prince knew about it and didn't miss a word.

Yanbao is not a talkative person either.

Therefore, everyone only stared at Concubine Jiang's belly. If it weren't for the emperor's protection, I don't know if Concubine Jiang's belly could have been saved!

The draft became lively as soon as it started. Many girls of the right age were reported to be drafted into the palace. If they were chosen by the emperor, they would stay. Those who were not chosen would be sent back to get married.

Yan Bao didn't expect that one of her cousins ​​was also on the quota.

She is the daughter of an aunt on his father's side. She married out of town and worked as an official there. In the past few years, except for giving gifts during the New Year and holidays, she has not had any contact with her, mainly because the distance is too far.

There are no planes, no high-speed rails, and no trains. No one wants to go out for months at a time.

No, after the quota was registered, Shen Shoufu found out that the Shen family was also selected.

He is already on his way to the capital and will stay at the Shen family for the time being.

Chief Shen and Mrs. Shen talked. Mrs. Shen had an impression of this aunt. Although there were many weird people in the family, this aunt was pretty decent and there was not a lot of room in the house.

Mrs. Shen agreed.

Yan Bao knew this and didn't say anything: [The emperor would not choose this cousin. The emperor is not stupid. My father is already a favorite, and I am the princess and the future princess. 】

[My eldest brother has a good career and will definitely be re-employed when he returns to the capital. If there is another empress from such a prepared family, the emperor will definitely not let my cousin be selected for fear of raising the ambitions of our Shen family. 】

Chief Shen and the others listened to Yan Bao's thoughts and knew the fate of this charming guest, but they didn't want to tell him.

They knew how their aunt felt and wanted their daughter to enter the palace and become a concubine.

It's not their daughter, so it's hard for Shen Shoufu to say anything. Some things need to be experienced by the second sister to know whether they are feasible or not.

On the day Jiao Ke came to Beijing, the snow in the capital began to melt and the ground was not easy to walk on. When this cousin entered the house, her skirt was soaked, her shoes were dirty, and she was shivering from the cold.

Mrs. Shen asked someone to prepare hot water and asked Miss Cousin to take a bath and change clothes.

Yue Lingwan smiled and bowed solemnly: "I'm causing trouble for my aunt."

"You have worked hard all the way. When you come to your aunt's house, you are one of your own. Don't be so polite. This is your cousin Yanbao." Mrs. Shen did not expect that this niece is not bad looking. She has big eyes and a small mouth, and is very gentle and pleasant. , the smile is very sweet.

In Yanbao's words, it is sweet.

Everyone who sees it likes it.

Yan Bao also likes it very much.

[I have pity on my cousin Lingwan, forget it if she is not selected. I originally wanted to go to the temple fair to relax, but unexpectedly I saved someone out of kindness, and was targeted by someone who made a killing plate, just waiting for my innocent cousin to fall into the trap. inside. 】

[I didn’t expect that today’s scholars are so bad. Knowing that my cousin is a lady from an official family, I don’t want to work hard anymore. I want to marry my cousin so that her father can promote him.

[Especially knowing that my cousin’s uncle is my father, that’s okay. How many people want to marry the niece of the First Assistant? 】

[Phoenix Male Scholar wants to have a scene where a scholar marries a lady official. 】

[I’m not very good at studying, but I’m very good at lying to people. With this intention, how can I still fail the Qingbei exam? 】

[Oops, I forgot, there is no Qingbei here, only number one, number two, and number three! 】

Mrs. Shen was curious about what Qingbei was, and soon wanted to know whether the scholar succeeded. If he succeeded, the Shen family would not only be in trouble, but also lose a girl.

Yan Bao quickly gave Mrs. Shen an accurate answer: [He actually let him fall in love with my cousin who is in love. Cousin, wild vegetables are delicious, but they can't be eaten as food. Don't be stupid, listen. My, love brain is a must. 】

Mrs. Shen: “???”

Is there something about it?

She will not be allowed to go to temple fairs in the future.

As for Yan Bao, it doesn't matter if she doesn't lie to others. As long as she doesn't leave the capital, she can go anywhere.

Yan Bao didn't know that she had such a high status in her mother's heart.

Looking at the silly and easy-to-deceive Yue Lingwan, Yan Bao didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything even if she wanted to!
