rebirth will be hard to find

Even if Cheng Zian wanted to entrust the cat cub to Chu Jingmo, that would be a matter later.After Miss Chu entered the palace as a medical officer, she stayed in the Linzhi Hall. She only had one day off every ten days to go home, and on this day she left the palace in the morning, and had to go back before the key was placed at the palace gate at night. Cheng Zian It is not easy to find her.

However, because of the assassination of the crown prince, the atmosphere in the front palace and harem suddenly became tense, and the old emperor even went to the Chonghua Palace several times a day. Except for the investigation of the political affairs of the court and the assassination of the crown prince, he hardly asked any more questions. other.So, as a matter of course, the matter of choosing a companion for Her Royal Highness was shelved, until the crown prince took the initiative to mention it.

On this day, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the sun shone brightly. It was the first sunny day in Yanping in 25 years.

The old emperor suddenly summoned Chu Yi. At that time, Her Royal Highness had just resumed her studies in the study room, and was being kept by Taifu Zou to check the progress of "self-study on vacation" these days.It is not difficult for Chu Yi to deal with the Taifu with his previous talents, but he was stunned when he received the sudden summon from the old emperor—this was the first time that the old emperor took the initiative to summon her after he came out of the cold palace.

Facing the emperor's decree, Master Taifu's schoolwork inspection is naturally nothing.Chu Yi thought for a long time on the way to Longteng Hall, but he couldn't think of the reason why the old emperor summoned him suddenly. Shouldn't he be guarding His Royal Highness in Chonghua Hall at this time or urging Dali Temple to investigate the assassination? Remember to find her?

When they arrived at the Longteng Hall, the old emperor glanced at her indifferently after summoning her, and suddenly asked, "The crown prince said that he gave you a roster a few years ago?"

register?Chu Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the book that recorded the young and middle-aged talents in the court, so he also guessed that today the prince probably asked the old emperor to accompany him, so the old emperor suddenly summoned him. She came to ask this question.It's a pity that although the prince made the booklet with care, Chu Yi didn't take it too seriously. He only used it as an excuse once, and didn't read it carefully.

Unlike the Taifu's schoolwork inspection, Chu Yi was really guilty at the moment, afraid that the prince would let him down if he knew his intentions.So he could only bite the bullet and nodded and said: "Yes, that's the person the emperor chooses to accompany and collect for his son."

The old emperor nodded, but he was too lazy to ask any more questions, and said directly: "Then you read the brochure, did you find any suitable candidates?"

There were candidates, of course, but Chu Yi really just flipped through the booklet without looking at it carefully.She didn't know if Cheng Zian, a descendant of a downturned family with no one in his family who was an official, was included in the book, and her companion reading arrangement was two people, who should she find for the other person besides Cheng Zian?

Faced with this kind of problem suddenly, Chu Yi was a little bit blind. She really wanted to go back to the Linzhi Palace and quickly turn over the roster to read it carefully—at least His Royal Highness has always had a good eye, and it shouldn’t be difficult to choose another candidate besides Cheng Zian. Out——unfortunately, the old emperor in front of him was waiting for an answer, and he obviously didn't have much patience with her.

Chu Yi gritted his teeth, and replied: "I have never seen those people before. There are so many talents in the emperor's roster, and I am afraid it will be difficult to choose for a while. It's just that two people seem to be good, and one is Li He, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The son Li Lin, and the other is Cheng Yuan's great-grandson Cheng Jie."

The Ministry of Industry is not a very sensitive department. It is only in charge of construction projects, and it does not involve a series of sensitive matters such as money and food, military power, appointment and dismissal of officials.As for Cheng Yuan's reputation, he died long ago, and the entire Cheng family was gone.

The old emperor just turned these two names around in his mind, and then said: "Since you are interested, then let them both, I will call them into the palace in another day. If you have a companion, don't think about it." Have fun, be diligent and studious, in the hope that one day I can share the heavy responsibility for your imperial brother."

A few random remarks made the matter finalized, and the old emperor didn't stay with Chu Yi any longer, and sent him away with a wave of his hand.

Coming out of Longteng Hall, the winter sun shone on people with a warm feeling. It was not until he was dazzled by the dazzling sun that Chu Yi finally came back to his senses.Subconsciously, she looked back at the closed palace door, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

It is naturally a good thing that the wish is easily fulfilled, but it is too easy.The prince has always been cautious in selecting companions, because they are not only companions but also future confidantes. Their family background, character, talent, etc. must be included in the scope of investigation.Some princes' mothers and concubines would even start to consider candidates a few years in advance, and treat this matter with the utmost care, but when it comes to her...

Chu Yi raised his head, looked at the white clouds in the sky and smiled wryly: Even with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dealing with him, the old emperor still didn't take her seriously. Today's trip was so perfunctory as if he wanted to explain to the Crown Prince. .

But fortunately, although the father is still unreliable, at least he has a brother—the calm in the heavenly palace has gradually recovered these days, so it can be seen that the assassination of His Highness the Crown Prince should not be a serious problem.

Chu Yi waved his sleeves, forgetting about the old emperor, and decided to go back to the Linzhi Hall and read the brochure sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.I don't know if Cheng Zian is on the roster, and I don't know what the crown prince will think of Li Lin, but it's better not to make any mistakes and make some jokes.

Well, by the way, you can also think about it again, when Li Lin arrives in her territory, how to get revenge on him!

************************************************** ****************

Although Cheng Zian has the heart to enter the palace as a companion, she actually knows that the palace is not so easy to enter.Especially after news of the assassination of the prince came out, she almost thought that the matter of choosing a companion to read would be postponed indefinitely.

When the imperial decree was delivered, Mrs. Cheng was a bit too late to think of asking someone to open the middle door to set up an incense table to receive the decree. When Cheng Zian received the news, she was even more dumbfounded.When she received the imperial decree under the instructions of her grandmother and held the roll of bright yellow silk brocade, she was still a little dazed as if in a dream.

Mrs. Cheng knew why Cheng Zian was in a daze. In fact, she couldn't even figure it out. It was so good, she didn't have time to ask someone to recommend it. How could Cheng Zian fall into His Majesty's eyes and order to be the companion of the imperial concubine? ?

The old lady was upright all her life, and she only gave rewards to the servant who delivered the decree according to the usual practice.Madam Cheng stepped forward to stuff a purse into the chief servant, and asked him: "I have never heard of His Majesty's call, why is my son suddenly appointed to be His Highness's companion?"

The Cheng family's reputation is indeed resounding, and even though they are now in decline, the servants who delivered the order today did not show any arrogance.Of course, the purse was still taken, and the servant gave the answer very readily: "I heard that the young prince was personally selected by Her Royal Highness, so Her Majesty directly issued an order, and no princes from other families were called to enter the palace as candidates."

It's not a secret, the servant who delivered the decree didn't mind selling a favor, but he didn't know more and couldn't tell, so he took the purse, said "Congratulations" after saying this sentence, and left in a hurry .

It is a matter of congratulations for a family like the Cheng family, which has declined because of "treason", to be able to be heard again.What's more, with the contacts left by the old general back then, as long as that little Mr. Cheng has some skills, he will definitely achieve something in the future.

After everyone had left and the door of the Cheng family was closed, Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Zian with a puzzled expression: "Ah Jie, how did Your Royal Highness know about you?"

Mrs. Cheng asked Cheng Zian, but Cheng Zian felt even more confused.She shook her head with a blank face: "My grandson doesn't know either."

The family looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Mrs. Cheng volunteered: "I heard that Mrs. Zhang is going to hold a plum blossom feast in a few days, and all the wives should join in the fun. Or, should I ask someone?"

Mrs. Cheng immediately waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there's no need to inquire. It's impossible to inquire about such a thing."

Cheng Zian thought so, but for some reason, she thought of Chu Jingmo who was by the princess's side now.Except for her, no one in the palace would know that there was Cheng Jie, and she could not think of anyone else who would mention herself to Her Royal Highness.

It's a pity that Cheng Zian's self-deception was broken by Li Lin within two hours.

He came in a hurry, with a flustered expression, and when he saw Cheng Zian, he grabbed her arm: "Zian, something has happened! Someone from the palace came to my house today to pass the decree, and His Majesty actually summoned me to be a companion for the imperial concubine. She even said that Her Royal Highness personally chose me!!!"

Cheng Zian was also taken aback when he heard the words, he never thought that the other companion would be Li Lin.If she was recommended by Chu Jingmo, who could recommend Li Lin?With a long history of family education, Li Lin is not a talented man who has read poems and books or a brave general. He just likes to play with small things and has some opinions on water conservancy.

Li Lin was still thinking about it: "It's miserable, I heard that Her Royal Highness was taught by Taifu Zou himself. That old man has a straight face all the time, and he is not easy to get along with at first sight. "I can't even memorize it, this palm must be swollen every day, my Yanjiang model is only half done... Where do you think Your Royal Highness knows about me?"

Cheng Zian glanced at Li Lin quietly, and brushed off his claws that were holding onto his arm: "How do I know? When the imperial decree was delivered today, my grandmother was stunned."

"Hey, you also received the imperial decree?" Li Lin was surprised, and then he smiled again, and his face was swept away with sorrow: "Oh, that's great, after entering the palace, we can still take care of each other. I'm worried that there won't be anyone who can talk to me by then. The fate of our brothers is not even comparable to that of brothers, so you have to help me when the time comes."

Li Lin has been tired of reading since he was a child, and he has not finished reading all the classics and history collections.Fortunately, his family did not rely on poetry and books to pass down the family. He likes to play with the molds at home, and is also interested in water conservancy. His father Li He focused on training him in this area, and planned to enter the Ministry of Industry after he had completed his studies. Being in charge of water affairs can be regarded as inheriting his father's career.

Cheng Zian was too lazy to talk to Li Lin, she was still thinking, who mentioned them to the princess?
