Lanling

At three o'clock, the cat sounded.

"Meow, meow, meow!"

Duanmucheng gave Zhang Niansi a white look, "This is not three beeps, it is clearly six beeps!"

"Don't worry about him, I'm leaving!" Zhang Niansi was wearing a white crane cloak, grabbed her luggage and was about to open the door and leave.

"Then do you remember everything I told you?" Duanmucheng followed her to the door.

"Remember, don't you just want to go to Chi Country? I understand, you also remember what I said, my birthday, and the story my father told me, and my father's birthday— —" Zhang Niansi said about his father, his face flushed, tears came down, but he raised his head suddenly, "Be filial for me, thank you!"

"Don't worry, I will!" Duanmucheng hugged Zhang Niansi into his arms. This was the first and maybe the last hug between the two of them. There are not many days, and if the assassination fails, he will only have a dead end.

"Hey, don't hug me!" Zhang Niansi pressed his hands against him, "You want to take advantage of me?"

"No, I just want something in return. Do you think it's a lot to exchange a life for a hug?" Duanmucheng deliberately smirked.

"Not much!" Zhang Niansi knew he was in debt, and hugged him generously, "Brother, by the way, I don't know your name yet?"

Duanmucheng laughed secretly at his younger sister who was careless and careless, "You can call me Acheng, or Brother Cheng."

"Then brother Acheng. Goodbye, brother Acheng!" Zhang Niansi left his embrace and carried his luggage.

"Sister, if that person bullies you, call your brother's name." Duanmucheng looked at her.

"Okay, I got it, let's go!" Zhang Niansi strode forward and ran towards the man's arms. Duanmucheng followed her for a short distance, careful not to let them find out. Under the moonlight, the man smiled and looked at her. Zhang Niansi had love in his eyes, Duanmucheng could see it.

He knew that it was impossible for Zhang Niansi to have any nostalgia for him, and there would be no. The only way to be nostalgic was her father Zhang Mingying. That old guy was really a lucky old man, but now he was going to lose his dear daughter too.

Duanmucheng was a little bit reluctant, staring blankly at their leaving backs under the cold light for a while, then went back to lie on the bed according to the original plan, his complexion was pale, and his breath was long.

The next morning, Xing'er knocked on the door for a long time, but she didn't see a word from the lady, she hurriedly opened the door in fright, broke in and saw the lady lying on the bed, it took a long time to recover, but the lady seemed to be sick, Still very sick.

"Miss, miss!" Myolie shouted.

Duanmucheng naturally wouldn't respond to her, but opened his eyes weakly, stood up and sat up, wanted to speak but couldn't, pointed to his throat, his eyes were full of anxiety.

Xing'er was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Then she got up and ran outside, shouting, "Come here! Miss can't talk anymore!"

Zhang Mingying hurried over and saw her daughter's face was pale, she was silent, she was still dying, her old face was pale, her feet were weak, and she almost fell down, what should I do?I was so anxious that my forehead was sweating.

Today is the day to enter the palace, if she looks like this, wouldn't she be blamed by the emperor?

"Master, what should we do?" A woman dressed in Chinese clothes stood beside Zhang Mingying, looking at him.

"I went to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor, Niansi has no way to serve the emperor like this!" Zhang Mingying looked at her daughter with distress and helplessness!

"Master, let's see a doctor first!"

"Ma'am, it's too late now, the sun is past noon and no one is there yet, the emperor will definitely blame me, besides, I have to do this in person, the House of Internal Affairs has already prepared a roster, and Nian Si is on top!"

Seeing this, Duanmucheng stood up and bowed to Zhang Mingying, then turned around to get the paper on the table—it was written by Zhang Niansi before leaving.

Looking at those words, Zhang Mingying couldn't help crying, and patted her daughter's shoulder, "Niansi, you are too filial." Maybe it was because of the urgent time, Zhang Mingying didn't have time to wonder if the person in front of her was his daughter, or he wouldn't go there at all. Thinking in this direction, after all, who dares to pretend to be the prime minister's daughter?

Duanmucheng shook his head, got up and followed Zhang Mingying out of the boudoir.

The sedan chair had already been prepared, and he stepped onto the eight-person sedan chair in small steps, remembering Zhang Mingying's instructions.

"Daughter, when you enter the palace, don't talk too much, do more things, just keep yourself safe, as a father, I don't ask you to be a queen, as long as you are safe and sound, otherwise I can't explain to your dead mother!"

When Duanmucheng heard this, he realized that Zhang Mingying was indeed a good father. Since he cheated, he should lie to the end, otherwise it would be so ugly to hurt a father's heart!He has lived with his mother since he was a child, and has never met his father. He heard from his mother that his father is a good man and a good father.He thought that if his father was like Zhang Mingying, he would be satisfied.

From the prime minister's mansion to the imperial palace, it took only two hours. Duanmu City was staggering and a little sleepy, but suddenly felt the sedan chair stop, and suddenly came back to his senses, he heard a man's shrill voice outside: "This is the prime minister." Mrs. Zhang's daughter, Miss Zhang Niansi?"

The maid Qianyun outside said: "That's right, please take care of me!" This Qianyun was arranged by Zhang Mingying to protect him, so it seems that Duanmu City will go much smoother with her.

The sedan chair was lifted again, wobbled, and turned several times. First, it went up the steps to the left, walked about ten steps, then turned left, went down the steps, walked a dozen steps, turned right, went up the steps, walked twenty steps, and went down. On the steps, the sedan chair stopped, and women began to chatter around.

"Miss, please get off the sedan chair!"

The sedan door was opened, and Duanmucheng came out with fine steps, raised his bright eyes, and saw a eunuch with a fair complexion, a medium build, slightly plump, dressed in a green mandarin jacket and black moccasin boots, and bowed his head to greet him: "Miss Zhang, I am Wuyun, and I am the servant who has been arranged to serve you. Please greet me, miss!"

"Get up!" At this time, Qianyun, the maid beside Duanmu City, said.

"Miss Xie!" Wu Yun had long heard people say that Miss Zhang's family has exotic beauty, so she looks really good, although she is slightly taller than other girls, but with blue eyes and deep eyes, she has a different flavor, maybe the emperor Maybe those vulgar fans who have watched too much will like this exotic style.Just why this lady can't speak?

At this time, the girls around had already come over, and they were very surprised to see Miss Zhang's foreign appearance. Some thought that this appearance was extremely ugly and didn't care at all, while others were ashamed of themselves, and on the surface A little bit jealous.

"Is this Miss Zhang?" A girl walked towards him to show her kindness. The girl had a rosy complexion and was small and cute. Although she was not enchanting, she had delicate features on her face and was a standard beauty.

Duanmucheng nodded towards her with a smile on his eyes.

"Miss, let's go into the room and rest." Qianyun is very used to winking and acting, knowing that the lady is tired, she directly walked towards the assigned room with Duanmucheng.

"Miss Zhang, I'm Xia Dongmei." The girl said further.

"Miss Xia, our lady is tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later." Qianyun glanced at Xia Dongmei.

"Sister, let's go together when we meet the saint later." Xia Dongmei said with a smile.

Qianyun turned her head and said, "My lady agreed, we'll be together later."

Duanmucheng walked into the house in small steps, and was so tired that he was sweating. Being a woman is really tiring. Why do you have to walk in such small steps?But now he had to continue to pretend.

"Miss, if you have any orders, call me anytime!" Wuyun said standing in front of him.

"Wuyun, if you have nothing to do, just wait outside. When the emperor lets go later, you can tell us in time. I'm here to dress up the young lady!" Qianyun said.

Wuyun responded, opened the door and went out.

Duanmucheng got up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, and saw himself in the mirror, a handsome daughter's face, he couldn't guarantee that the little emperor would like a man-in-law, but he had to kill him in the palace.

"Miss, I'm really worried for you. If the emperor asks you something, what should you say?" Qian Yun rubbed powder on him beside him, her face was gloomy.

Duanmucheng smiled into the mirror, indicating that she was fine, but she was still too worried.

"I know you said that the emperor doesn't judge people by their appearance, but all men want a healthy person. Miss, what happened to you?"

Duanmucheng couldn't speak, so he could only listen to her melancholy, but this girl was very interesting and kind, Zhang Mingying was very good at seeing people.

Suddenly, Wuyun shouted outside: "Someone is here!"

Immediately, the master and servant got up and went out, opened the door and saw a young father-in-law standing outside.All the girls knelt down one after another, and Duanmucheng, who was tall, knelt down after him.

"The emperor has a decree!" The father-in-law read: "Following the heavens, the emperor said: inheriting the heavens and musing the flowers, the country will prosper, and you will have to rely on the grace of heaven. I am lucky to pick a girl, and I will meet her in the imperial garden at three o'clock in the noon. Be sure to wait. This is it! Ladies and gentlemen, accept the decree!"

"Thank you, Majesty Long En! Long live, long live!" The girls replied with joyful voices.

Duanmucheng was also very excited, he would see the dog emperor soon, and his revenge was about to be repaid!

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Duanmucheng put on a light green skirt, dressed up a bit, and got up with Qianyun to go out. As soon as the door opened, Xia Dongmei and her maid Qing'er were waiting outside the door with a smile.

"Sister!" Xia Dongmei rushed up to salute Duanmu City.

Duanmucheng stretched out his hand to support her, and waved at her with a smile in his eyes. At this time, Xia Dongmei realized that Miss Zhang's family was dumb. She couldn't help being a little happy, but there was no happy expression on her face. ?”

Qianyun pulled Duanmucheng and walked forward, "Miss Xia, it's almost three quarters in the afternoon, we can't let the emperor wait for us, can we?"

"Yes, yes, let's go now!" Xia Dongmei turned around and followed.

A group of beauties walked towards the imperial garden with slender steps and beautiful branches.

In spring, when flowers bloom, a hundred flowers bloom and compete for beauty.Although it is still a bit cold in spring, it does not affect the young girls wearing single-dress skirts. One is more ostentatious than the other, and the other is more coquettish than the other. Only Duanmucheng wraps up tightly in order to conceal the difference in his height and his stout figure. For fear of revealing a piece of skin, he folded his hands and walked forward slowly with Qianyun.

Walking towards them, an extremely ugly but gorgeously dressed woman came towards them with a dark face.

"Your Majesty, these are all the masters participating in the female draft!" A eunuch's voice came from Bu Luu.

The girls looked up one after another, and suddenly a woman came up and slapped the girl in front, "Kneel down for me! Concubine Xian even dares to look around casually!"

The girl covered her face in grievance, and said with tears in her eyes: "My lady, forgive me!" All the girls bowed their heads and knelt down immediately, shouting: "Your ladyship is auspicious!"

After a while, the extremely ugly lady walked towards Duanmu City, raised his face with her hand, "Are you dumb?"

Duanmucheng nodded, "A dumb man also came to draft girls?"

Duanmucheng's blue eyes looked at her with water in his eyes, pretending to be wronged.

"Back to your mother, our young lady could talk, but she became dumb after a serious illness a few days ago, please forgive me!"

snap!Qianyun was slapped backhanded, Duanmucheng glared at the bereaved dog and gritted his teeth!

"Your Majesty is talking, it's your turn to interrupt! Come on, open your mouth!" The woman was the concubine Xian's servant girl, pretending to be a tiger, holding chicken feathers as arrows, and two eunuchs came at once, stretching out their hands to pull Qianyun. .

Duanmucheng was protecting Qianyun, refusing to let them take her away. At this time, he heard a familiar voice from a distance, it was the eunuch who announced the decree.

"Concubine Xian, don't say anything when you come, the emperor asked me to invite you!"

"Wu Ming, there is a mute among the emperor's beautiful girls, how did he choose this?" Concubine Xian looked at Wu Ming.

"Going back to your mother, the dumb girl is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhang. I heard that she just recovered from a serious illness, so—"

"Hmph!" Concubine Xian sneered, "Forget it, spare her this time, let's go!"

Qianyun was so frightened that her face was full of tears, her complexion was sallow, her body was shaking like chaff, and her voice was like a mosquito, "Miss, you scared me to death."

Duanmucheng patted her body to appease her, at this time those beauties had already got up and walked forward, all of them scrambling to be the first to be seen by the emperor, walking like flying.

Duanmucheng and Qianyun walked slowly and followed behind. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the imperial garden, the emperor and empress dowager had not yet arrived, so they had to wait there. However, the scenery in the imperial garden was very beautiful, and all kinds of flowers were already blooming. The peonies are the most prosperous, and Duanmu City has always liked the peonies in the ghost country. He couldn't help but be attracted by this scene, and dragged Qianyun to the peony bushes to linger and admire them.

"Miss, let's go back to those people, or we will be isolated!" Qianyun said.

Duanmucheng thought that this girl really had a lot of eyes and could think of everything, so he followed her back to the good crowd.

At this time, Concubine Xian arrived, and all the beauties knelt down to pay their respects, waiting for Concubine Xian to take her seat.

"Concubine Xian, why don't you take a look first?" Zhang Jinyun, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, stepped forward and said.

"Eunuch Zhang, are all these show girls your purpose?"

"Yes, besides me, there is also Prime Minister Zhang."

"Oh? No wonder." Concubine Xian glanced at Duanmu City, "It seems that he is suspected of engaging in malpractice for personal gain."

"Why did your mother say such a thing?"

"Let your own dumb daughter get in here, and you still say it's not for selfishness?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Miss Zhang was chosen by the Emperor himself."

"Oh?" Concubine Xian was taken aback for a moment, and she glanced at Duanmu City sharply, "Could it be that the emperor likes a mute?"

"Returning to your mother's words, the holy will is unpredictable, we'd better wait for the emperor to see it in person!"

After a while, Zhang Jinyun began to organize the girls to stand in groups, and a group of three formed a team by themselves.

The 35 people were divided into [-] groups. Maybe it was discussed long ago. Those beauties didn't want to be in the same group with Miss Zhang. After all, Miss Zhang came through the back door. In the end, Duanmucheng and Xia Dongmei were in a group.Xia Dongmei doesn't think like those ordinary ladies. She thinks that Miss Zhang's dumbness just sets off her cleverness. In addition, one of them is tall and handsome like a man, and the other is petite and soft like a fairy. Maybe the emperor will pay more attention to her.

It was three o'clock at noon, and Wuming shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone got up and knelt down one after another, shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
