It would be better to curry favor with Dong E and the two Zhao family members than to curry favor with her.Everyone in Dong E's family can understand that this is San Fujin without accident. Although the two of Zhao's family don't have any reputation, at least they have left an impression in the eyes of the emperor and others, and their future will definitely not be bad.

Tong's complexion was ugly. She really didn't expect that the imperial concubine would not give her any face. She was the Duke's wife and the imperial concubine's biological mother.Looking at the Zhao family sisters with happy faces, she couldn't help but said after all: "The emperor is nostalgic, it is not surprising to reward the ancestors of the Zhao family with a spear, but Miss Zhao, you don't have to be discouraged. The capital is famous. There are still a lot of Han people, today the emperor and the imperial concubine remember you, and will definitely give you a good future."

The two just glanced at her and ignored her.The two of them also talked about Tong's in private, and they both felt that she was a little proud.Not to mention that the emperor had already carried the family of the imperial concubine to the Manchurian flag, but it was said that the Tong family and the Tong family where the imperial concubine belonged were about to issue five uniforms, and her father was only a fourth rank now, compared to Li Ruizhu's Dad is half a grade lower.The crown prince Shu Fujin is also of this rank.

Wouldn't the emperor feel ashamed to tell the fourth elder brother such a good fortune?Even if the emperor is willing, the imperial concubine and the fourth elder brother will feel uncomfortable.Of course, the two had never thought about marrying into the royal family before.

Zhao Yingling poked Zhao Yinghan, "What's wrong with you, you look out of your mind."

"Ah? No, it's nothing." Zhao Yinghan, who came back to her senses, said evasively. She was still thinking about the fourth elder brother in her heart.After thinking about it carefully, she was quite sure that she had never seen Brother Si, and she didn't understand where the strange feeling came from.

I convinced myself that I shouldn't think too much, but subconsciously clenched the long gun tightly in my hand.

The sisters of the Zhao family didn't take this summoning seriously, they were still the same as before, only Zhao Yinghan would look at Changqian in a daze from time to time.However, Zhao Yingling expressed her understanding. If she was rewarded by the emperor, she would be more exaggerated than Zhao Yinghan.

It's just that they want to act low-key as always, but others don't agree, not to mention Tong's occasional eccentricities when they meet, but to say that the attitudes of Chen Xiunv and Wang Xiunv who share the same room have also changed.Chen Xiunv still had the look of 'talking to you is a gift', but it took longer than before to talk to the two of them.Wang Xiunv was still timid and shy but became attentive to the two.

Four people and one court lady are definitely not enough, she will volunteer to fetch water, or help carry food boxes.

Looking at Wang Xiunv who was serving tea for the two of them attentively, Chen Xiunv lightly reprimanded her, "You are a flatterer." She still thought she was honest, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Zhao Yinghan and Zhao Yingling looked at each other, she stood up and said: "Miss Wang, everyone is a beautiful girl, and now the status is equal, you don't have to do this. And we are really not familiar with Ning Concubine, no matter how you are, we will help you." Not you."

She spoke directly, Wang Xiunv blushed, she hesitated, "I, I didn't."

Without giving her a chance to defend herself, Zhao Yinghan interrupted her directly. "Do you know the best in your heart, and we can understand it. I just want to tell you that instead of worrying about us, it is better to spend more time learning the rules. There are so many beautiful women, and the empress must not have seen them all, ma'am The impression of the nuns is actually very important."

Forget about the servants at home, she can also use the maids in the palace with peace of mind, these people signed the contract and gave money, Wang Xiunv can't.Every time she saw Wang Xiunv trembling, she felt uncomfortable all over.

"That's right, if it wasn't for the mention of Concubine Ning, I wouldn't even know that I have this relative. Besides, Concubine Ning also said that as long as I don't get tricked into being a stepping stone, it's fine, and she won't ask about the rest. We are terrified of you."

Her own future is still unknown, so she has no time to care about others.I didn't like Wang Xiunv's style very much before, but now it seems that she is not as good as Chen Xiunv. At least this girl has everything written on her face, so they don't have to guess.

While talking, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and they looked at Chen Xiunv, who reluctantly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Ulanara Wenyao, I'm looking for sister Zhao."

Going to see Zhao Yingling, she suddenly realized that there were two people surnamed Zhao in the room, and it might not be Zhao Yingling they were looking for.

As the elder sister, Zhao Yingling spoke first, "I don't know what's going on with Ulanara Gege. We sisters don't think we are familiar with Gege. No matter big or small, let's talk about it after the general election."

They may not have realized what happened in the Royal Garden that day at first, but they all understood Wen Yao's calculations afterwards.She dared to cheat in front of the emperor, such a person would dare to have anything to do with her, Zhao Yingling was determined not to open the door.

Wang Xiunv said in a low voice: "After all, she is full of military flags, and Ama is still the admiral of the Nine Gates. Isn't it good to do this?"

Zhao Yinghan gave her a strange look, that look seemed to penetrate her mind, and she was terrified.Looking away, Zhao Yinghan said: "We didn't invite the person, not to mention that we really don't know her, what's so good about it. The draft, the draft, everyone is a competitor until the end. Who knows if there will be any competition?" A person with a vicious mind will use the means for the sake of the end."

Chen Xiunv answered, "That's right. Besides, I've inquired about it. Her Ama Fei Yanggu has passed away long ago. In their family, only her first brother is an official in the court. The official position is not high, just a fourth rank." Then she said mysteriously, "I heard that the fourth-rank official was given by the emperor for Fei Yanggu's sake."

After all, Fei Yanggu died in office, so the emperor must show something.

Concubine and concubine have been fighting endlessly since ancient times. Chen Xiunv saw many families where concubine and concubine were at odds, but it was rare for concubine and concubine to be as close as one family.She felt that with Wen Yao's approach, the relationship with the Ulanara family's descendant was not much better.

Fei Yanggu is dead, and she doesn't have a brother, so she has no backer. There is nothing to be afraid of such an 'orphan girl'.

As he spoke, he gave Wang Xiunv a contemptuous look, and even the flatterers couldn't tell the difference, and deserved that the sisters of the Zhao family didn't like her.

Wang Xiunv blushed when she was told, if Zhao Yingling would have said a few words about Chen Xiunv in the past, now she has the right to pretend she didn't see it.

Wen Yao knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, her face was a little distorted.That day she clearly saw it correctly, but who knew that it was an outsider who threw herself down. Others don't know who Wu Ya Boyong is, so how can she not understand that a coat is worthy of her?However, the emperor did not know what medicine he took wrongly, and he even pointed out marriage. She originally wanted to keep a low profile and fool around, but someone came to dare her to leave the palace that day.Said that she has been accused of marriage, it is not appropriate to stay in the palace.

Wen Yao was so angry, how could she marry the fourth elder brother when she was out of the palace?

She dawdled and didn't want to leave the palace, and the nanny changed her usual gentleness and gave an ultimatum in front of everyone.In the past two days, what she listened to the most was the stories of the Zhao family sisters. Zhao Yingling had no evidence for it. The only thing she was worried about was Zhao Yinghan.Now that I think about it carefully, the more I look at her, the more I feel that the imperial concubine is likely to have a crush on Zhao Yinghan.

If Zhao Yinghan became the fourth elder brother's first wife, it would be difficult for her to handle.This girl looked serious and unforgiving.

Therefore, I thought about giving Zhao Yinghan some flair before leaving the palace, but he didn't know that the other party didn't open the door.

She stared at the closed door with a sullen face, thinking that there was nothing she could do unless the door was opened.Trying to suppress the anger in her heart, she put a smile on her face again, "Sister Zhao, I originally wanted to tell you this kind of private matter in private, since you won't open the door, then I'll just say it straight. It can be seen that the imperial concubine The empress likes you very much, but unfortunately you may not know that Tong Guogong's mansion has taken a fancy to a girl from their own family, and you know that girl is Tong Xiunv. I don't know what you think, but I just came here to tell you that the Tong family is not It's easy to bully, what she likes is always determined to get it. You have to be careful."

After saying this, the smile on the corner of her mouth became even bigger, she couldn't believe that the people inside didn't open the door.

The door did open, but Zhao Yingling stood in front of Zhao Yinghan, she blocked the door as soon as she opened it, and she didn't mean to let people in at all.

Zhao Yinghan stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Yingling, and blocked Yuci's long gun at the door. The point of the gun was pointing at Wen Yao and forced her to retreat.

Just as she thought, there were many spectators outside the door, forcing them away from the door, and she stood three meters away from them.Zhao Yinghan said seriously: "Ulanaragege, I don't know where your rumors come from, but I can tell you very clearly that from the moment I stepped into the palace gate, marriage is not in my hands. The Zhao family has always followed the emperor's order, and my marriage is also up to the emperor and the ladies to decide."

After saying so many words in one breath, Zhao Yinghan was a little out of breath. She paused and continued: "What about Tong Xiunv has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to think about instigating me to deal with her. Besides, the fourth elder brother is flesh and blood and thoughtful." Man, he's not something to buy and sell."

After saying this, Zhao Yinghan put away his long gun and turned around. When he turned around, he met Tong's eyes and her eyes didn't change at all.

Tong Xiunv looked at Wen Yao with a half-smile, and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "There are some people who are criminals and cheap, and they have already been accused of marriage, but they still want to think about Elder Brother Huang. Sister Zhao is right, we are all good girls, the emperor and the empresses have the final say on who to marry and not to marry, it is not a cat or a dog who can make a final decision with just a few plausible words."

"That's right, those who don't know think that someone's words are more powerful than the imperial decree." This girl had had friction with Wen Yao before, so naturally she would not miss this opportunity to add insult to injury.

Wen Yao kept silent, just looked at them coldly.Then she suddenly smiled, "That's right, some people really don't have self-knowledge. She thinks that she will be safe if she pleases the Duke's wife, and she doesn't think about how the marriage of Huang elder brother can be controlled by a Duke's wife. When the time comes It would be funny to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.”

Wen Yao is not really stupid, the imperial concubine's attitude towards Tong can explain everything.If it is said who has the best chance to be a Four Fujin, she thinks that the Zhao family sisters have a better chance than Tong's.Do you really think that you can sit on Yutai safely with the same clan as the imperial concubine?She waited to see Tong Shi fall from above.

Wen Yao is out of the palace, and her words still left traces among the beautiful women. Now Zhao Yinghan always meets hostile or fawning eyes when she goes out, which makes her upset and doesn't like to go out.

After finally going through half a month, the emperor finally decided to hold a palace election.In the past half month, apart from Dong E who was frequently summoned by Concubine Rong and Concubine Huang, it was the sisters of the Zhao family.The concubine Huang Guifei summoned the two of them twice, Concubine Ning also summoned the two of them a few times, and the rest of the show girls were also summoned, generally speaking, the number of times was not as many as theirs.

The hall selection is notified two days in advance, the purpose is to allow the show girls to use these two days to prepare well.Wang Xiunv whispered, "What should I do? I'm so nervous,"

She muttered and talked non-stop, and the three people in the same room were very upset. Zhao Yingling couldn't help it first, "What's there to be nervous about? Marry yourself, if you are selected, then wait for the emperor to designate the marriage. This is the palace selection, not the primary election, and it is not shameful to lose the election."

Those who failed in the primary election were all those with physical flaws or bad conduct, that's why Li Xuanzhu went crazy.The re-election is different from the palace selection. The basis of the re-election screening is that the family background and appearance are not outstanding, let alone the palace selection.Even if the emperor and the clan can be elected every three years, what to do with the rest, they can only go home.

For example, the reputation of those who are not selected by the palace will be better, not to mention hindering marriage, some people will be happy when they hear that she is from His Highness.It's because he lived in the palace for half a month when the palace was selected.

Chen Xiunv sneered unabashedly. The laughing Wang Xiunv's face was flushed. She lowered her head and took the teapot on the table, "I, I'm going to fetch a pot of water."

Looking at the back of her running away, Zhao Yingling let out a breath, "I finally left, I didn't say it, we were already nervous enough, she is still creating an atmosphere here, it's annoying to death."

Zhao Yinghan shook his head in disapproval, "You, when will you be able to make up your mouth." The two clearly knew that Zhao Yingling was the older sister, but they needed to be reminded all the time, and those who didn't know thought she was the older sister.

Of course, this does not mean that she is unwilling to take care of Zhao Yingling, she is just worried that Zhao Yingling's mouth will cause trouble.

Zhao Yingling stuck out her tongue, and the three of them stopped talking. They just focused on looking through their packages and thinking about what to wear in the future.

Wang Xiunv came back soon, her face was still a little red, and her eyes were still dodging. "I, I asked the maid to make tea, do you want to try it? I heard that this is the Liu'an melon slice specially brought out by the ladies."

As soon as Chen Xiunv heard that it was a gift from her mother, she immediately stretched out her hand. Zhao Yingling also wanted to reach out but was stopped by Zhao Yinghan, "No, we are not thirsty, you can drink it yourself."

Zhao Yinghan's intuition is very accurate, every time her heart beats faster, it is the time when someone is trying to frame her.It had been very calm before, but when Wang Xiunv came in, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was watching Wang Xiunv carefully at that time.

Wang Xiunv's reaction can be said to be quite normal, after all, she has been bullied by Zhao Yingling before, if her trembling hands are ignored.

Especially when Chen Xiunv picked up the teacup, she seemed very nervous.Chen Xiunv may not have noticed it, but she felt it.

So she stopped Zhao Yingling.The two grew up together and had a tacit understanding. When Zhao Yinghan said he was not thirsty, Zhao Yingling immediately put down the teacup. In case there was something wrong with the teacup, she wiped her hands vigorously with a handkerchief.

Chen Xiunv was not stupid either, she also smiled and put down the cup in her hand. "Oh, it's fate for everyone to live together. How can we let you serve me? Since you brought the water, I'll borrow flowers and present Buddha to pour you a glass too. I have a bad temper, and I have offended you a lot before. I hope your lord has a lot. Don't get acquainted with me."

As she said that, she handed over the teacup, and Chen Xiunv stared at her steadfastly, as if she would keep staring at her if she didn't take it.

Wang Xiunv took the teacup tremblingly, and drank it under her sharp eyes.After drinking it in one gulp, she poured the tea cup back, and said with tears in the corner of her eyes: "Don't you just doubt me, now that I've finished drinking, you are satisfied."

Seeing that Wang Xiunv was fine, Chen Xiunv felt distraught, but it was impossible for her to apologize.She snorted coldly and went back to bed.

Zhao Yinghan squeezed Zhao Yingling's hand, and she understood, "Doubt or not, Chen Xiunv is right, it's not easy for everyone to get together, and we may not see each other in the future. You don't think she is not sincere enough to borrow flowers and offer Buddha In this way, I'll make another pot of tea, it should be fine."

As she spoke, she reached for the teapot. Wang Xiunv was a little flustered, and she subconsciously reached out her hand.But she is a real lady, so she is no match for Zhao Yingling. In the end, Zhao Yingling still holds the teacup in her hand.

At this moment, it would be deliberate to fight again, and she could only watch Zhao Yingling walk out with the teapot.Before she could come up with the idea of ​​chasing after her, Zhao Yinghan came over with a set of clothes, "I remember you said you liked my clothes before, and you didn't have anything to give you when you left. You should keep this as a thought."

Wang Xiunv glanced at her carefully, and then looked at the pink lotus flag dress in front of her. She bit her lower lip and shook her head, "No, this dress is expensive. You can tell it's my sister's favorite at a glance. Can win people's love."

Zhao Yinghan didn't really want to give it to her, she just wanted to find an excuse to keep him in the house, and she didn't force it when she saw that she didn't want it.Besides, since she felt that there was something wrong with Wang Xiunv, sending the clothes at this time was not to pass the handle on to others. Who knew whether Wang Xiunv would use it to frame her.

It took a little longer for Zhao Yingling to go, she came in quickly with a pot of tea, put the tea pot on the table, and poured a cup for Wang Xiunu herself, she said: "I remember you said you wanted to drink Taiping Houkui , I specially used money to beg my mother to get some, and taste it quickly." She said 'I have made a great contribution'.

Wang Xiunv was already guilty, so how dare she drink Zhao Yingling's tea at this time, she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I'm not thirsty. You took care of me before, and you will make me ashamed if you say this again."

Zhao Yingling persuaded her a few more words, and seeing that she really didn't want to drink, she invited Zhao Yinghan to come with her.At this time, she was very fortunate, fortunate that neither she nor her cousin were evil-hearted people, otherwise the palace would not have been in a daze.Just now, she saw several groups of people looking for Mammy. They either had a bad stomach or had a rash on their bodies. Among them were sisters like her who were running for the election at the same time.

Seeing the two sitting down to drink tea, Chen Xiunv sat down after thinking about it.Zhao Yingling looked at her in surprise, she looked embarrassed, "What are you looking at?"

Rolling her eyes, Zhao Yingling said, "You're not afraid that I'll put medicine in the tea. I went to fetch water just now, and saw a lot of people have accidents."

Chen Xiunv didn't respond to her words, but Wang Xiunv, who was lying on the bed, trembled in shock.Zhao Yingling was even angrier, she lowered her head and whispered, "I gave the pot of tea to the imperial concubine's maid."

Before summoning the imperial concubine alone, she made it clear that she liked her cousin very much, and she would marry the fourth elder brother without accident.In order to ensure their safety, the imperial concubine and concubine gave them a thorough explanation and asked them to go to the maid who served them if they had something to do.

Zhao Yingling has no idea about elder brother Huang and knows that her family background is not enough to be a concubine Fujin. She is not interested in being a child for others, and she is really happy for her cousin.Since the cousin doubted Wang Xiunv, she simply told the maid about the matter. As for whether it was true or false, the imperial concubine naturally had to check it.
