The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Yu Chengyi lowered his head and said: "This slave is incompetent."

Jiang Shiying shook her head: "It's not necessarily that you can't find it out, maybe it's just a coincidence. Now is the transition between spring and summer, the flowers are blooming just right, and pollen is everywhere. I guess she accidentally failed to detect it. Avoid.”

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that this could not be a coincidence, it must be man-made.

Wu's dissatisfaction with pollen could not have happened in a day or two. She must have been careful and alert every day, but she still failed to prevent it.

I don’t know if someone in the harem or the concubines took advantage of her, or if she was tricked by other beautiful women?

It doesn't matter.

Wu was from a humble background, so it was not a big deal if she had a rash due to her disobedience. No one would stand up for her, and it would be fine if she couldn't find out. She should just assume that she was unlucky.

As soon as Yu Chengyi exited, Ah Yuan entered the room.

She found some random reasons, dismissed the people waiting in the room, and asked Qiu Yu to guard the door in person, and then whispered: "My queen, we found out the whereabouts of Qiao Rong."

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying looked up at her.

"Three months ago, a much-loved Aunt Rong appeared in the house of the mighty general Ding Shengkang. This Aunt Rong looks exactly like Qiaorong."

"I remember that the military power of the western suburbs camp is in the hands of General Ding?"

A Yuan nodded.

Jiang Shiying slowly raised her lips. She and Concubine Zhen really had a good understanding. She attacked the imperial army, while Concubine Zhen targeted the western suburbs camp.

She had to think carefully about how she could use this matter to seize the western suburbs camp into her own hands.

Soon the day of the palace election came.

In the entire palace, the only three people in the palace who were qualified to participate in this matter were Lu Zhaolin, the Queen Mother and Jiang Shiying.

After a few casual chats, Lu Zhaolin said: "Let's get started."

Yao Xingde glanced at him, and the eunuch in charge began to call people into the palace.

The six little girls in the first group entered the palace one by one and stood before His Highness, curtsying and saluting.

There was nothing special about these people. They had ordinary family backgrounds and average looks. Lu Zhaolin didn't even bother to look at them.

After looking at three or four groups of people in a row, there was almost nothing eye-catching about them.

Until the second person in the fifth group.

The eunuch called out: "Song Xinchan, the second daughter of Siye, the prince of the country, is fifteen years old."

The girl wearing an apricot-colored palace dress took two steps forward and bowed her knees: "My maid, Song Xinchan, pays homage to Your Majesty, pays homage to the Queen Mother, and pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."

"Your surname is Song?" Lu Zhaolin seemed to be a little more interested: "Who are you, Queen Xiaoyi?"

Song Xinchan lowered her head politely and answered: "I am my cousin."

Lu Zhaolin said: "Raise your head."

Song Xinchan raised her head, her eyes were very sensible and she did not look towards the palace.

Lu Zhaolin sighed slightly: "Although they are cousins, their faces are not similar to those of the late empress."

Song Xinchan said: "Queen Xiaoyi's mother-in-law honors the world and her virtues are in harmony with the Sixth Palace. I dare not compare myself with the empress."

Jiang Shiying watched from the side and almost laughed out loud. This is just a nice thing to say. Who doesn't know what the Song family had in mind when they sent her to the palace?

"It's a rule." Lu Zhaolin said, "Let's just name a talented person."

Just a talented person.

Song Xinchan felt a little bitter, but she still obediently bowed and thanked him.

The eunuch continued to roll the names, and the last three names were nothing special until they reached the last one: "Feng, the daughter of Yingshan County Magistrate, sixteen years old."

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother must take a good look at this one."

Hearing what she said, both of them were a little surprised.

"Oh? What's so special about this Feng family?"

Jiang Shiying said with a smile: "He is right in front of you. You two will know it as soon as you see him."

At this point, Feng had already stepped forward and finished the ceremony.

Lu Zhaolin said: "Raise your head."

Feng raised his head.

The eyes of the three people in the palace fell on her face.

The Queen Mother spoke first: "Looking at her facial features, she seems to have a bit of the charm of Ah Ying."

Jiang Shiying nodded and said, "It's really like this. When I heard someone mention it before, I still didn't believe it."

However, Lu Zhaolin seemed a little displeased: "It's difficult to paint skin but bones. Compared with A Ying, it's still far behind."

The Queen Mother laughed at him: "A Ying like this is hard to find in the world. It's not easy for you to meet one, why aren't you satisfied?"

Ms. Feng lowered his head and stood in front of His Highness. Listening to the words of the people above him, he felt that his heart was getting cold.

Sure enough, she wasn't chosen.

Not only her, there was also someone behind her who had lips and chin that were somewhat similar to Jiang Shiying's, but she was not left behind either.

Jiang Shiying was not surprised.

The genuine ones are already in the palace, so why would Lu Zhaolin choose a bunch of fakes that are not as good as hers?

After a whole morning, only three people were selected in total.

The queen's cousin, the Song family, the Zhou family, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Jianchang, and the Qian family, the second daughter of the minister Zuopu She.

In terms of appearance, these few people can't even compare to Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yi. In terms of temperament, she is far from being a concubine.

It cannot be compared with Jiang Shiying.

But they all have very good family backgrounds. Looking at this level, he was selected into the palace after all, and a talented person and two noble people were sealed.

In addition to these three, there are seven beautiful girls who are accused of being married to the clan.

At noon, the three of them had a meal in the palace, and then continued their selection.

On the one hand, he was tired, and on the other hand, it had been a whole morning without a single eye-catching event, so Lu Zhaolin was somewhat out of interest.

Until the second group in the afternoon.

"Yue Heya, the eldest daughter of the governor of Luzhou, is seventeen years old."

Yue Heya was dressed in moon-white palace clothes. He took two steps forward and bowed down: "My maid, Yue Heya, pays homage to Your Majesty, pays homage to the Queen Mother, and pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."

Lu Zhaolin was leaning on the back of the chair, but before he knew it, he had sat upright.

"Keep your head up."

Yue Heya slowly raised his head.

Her eyebrows are like distant daisies, and her eyes are like autumn waves. What a beauty with a temperament like orchid!

Lu Zhaolin leaned back again and spoke slowly: "What do you do to pass the time on weekdays?"

Yue Heya said: "In response to Your Majesty's words, I like to study."

"Oh? What have you read?"

"I read poetry, songs, and the Four Books and Five Classics."

Lu Zhaolin nodded: "Yes, let's seal it as a treasure forest."

Yue Heya was slightly surprised, was it just Baolin? Not even banned?

She suppressed the disappointment in her heart and bowed to thank him.

After her, there were three more good-looking people who were either granted the title of Baolin or were selected as prostitutes.

In the evening, the palace election ended.

Lu Zhaolin returned to Ganquan Palace to handle government affairs, and Jiang Shiying personally sent the Queen Mother back to Shoukang Palace before returning to her own Jingyang Palace.

While Qiu Yu was waiting for her to change her clothes, she said, "Looking at the whole day, among all the beautiful girls, Yue Baolin is the most beautiful, and only one of them has been sealed."

To put it bluntly, except for their empress, all the concubines in the harem are inferior to Yue Baolin in appearance.

Jiang Shiying said: "Looking at her, don't you think she looks familiar?"
