After rebirth, he quit the cinnabar mole

"My lord, do you really not want to give in to His Majesty? The servant girl asked if there are a few people from the empress dowager's mother's family and the daughter of the prime minister's family among these beautiful girls."

Liu Qing lowered her voice, she looked worried, she stood by Zhong Yanyu's side, and walked slowly along with him.

Zhong Yanyu remained calm, and glanced at the women not far away. Even in the beginning of spring, they were still cold. These people were dressed in cool clothes.

The corner of his mouth curled into an invisible arc, and he said slowly: "Those who endanger the status of the queen will not enter the palace, your son has his own way."

What he was looking for was a helper, not an opponent.

"The queen is here too."

The Queen Mother heard the footsteps and raised her eyes slightly. She was flipping through the picture album in her hand to the page of Chu Xinmei, who was the prostitute of Jiangnan's mother clan.

Zhong Yanyu was indifferent and reserved, he saluted, and the bright red phoenix robe reflected his fair cheeks, which made his fair cheeks a little redder, "The talent show is a big event in the harem, and as a queen, my minister can't be absent."

The empress dowager's eyes darkened, although she felt that the other party would not be so simple, but she had no reason to drive him away, so she had to let him get up.

On the big day, she doesn't have to care about others like this.

And after Zhong Yanyu came, Jing Guhan also came late, a handsome young man in a bright yellow imperial robe, with sharp eyebrows and a cold expression, strode into the palace.

The beautiful girl outside couldn't help stretching her neck to look over. Although there was no sound, the excited and hot gaze could not be ignored.

The man's figure was tall and straight, when he was in high spirits, his steps were firm, not in a hurry, his eyes were calm, without any trace of arrogance, and as soon as Fang entered the hall, he attracted everyone's attention, only Zhong Yanyu walked calmly. I took a sip of tea.

Jing Guhan's complicated eyes fell on the boy, this was the first time he saw Zhong Yanyu after so many days.

The young man's eyebrows are separated from the mountains and the sea, and the bright red brocade clothes are covered with snow satin, delicately embroidered with gold silk phoenix patterns, the hem of the clothes is winding, and the waist is tied with a coiled dragon and white jade knot. The face is covered with a faint tea mist, but his every move hooks his heartstrings.

"The emperor is here."

Unlike the polite indifference towards Zhong Yanyu before, the Empress Dowager smiled sincerely and calmly at this time, "Recently, the emperor should take care of his health. The Ai family heard that you have been ill recently and did not go to court early."

"I made the empress worry. It's just that those people in the Tai Hospital made a fuss. Besides, there was no important matter to report in the morning court, so I was excused."

Jing Guhan sat in the center, pursed his thin lips slightly, "Mother came so early, it's because my son was late and kept you waiting."

"The emperor is busy with official duties, so what does it matter?" The queen mother smiled and changed the subject, "But the emperor is here too, and it's time to start the draft."

The so-called talent show is to gain a good eye. These beautiful women who have passed five levels and cut six generals are naturally outstanding, but it depends on the emperor's wishes. Let's go through the motions. It is not that the emperors of all dynasties have not all been included in the palace. .

Jing Guhan had no objection, so the chief eunuch went down to make arrangements.

Not a moment later, Niao Tingxiu's daughter came in elegant steps and stood outside the palace. When the steward read out the names one by one, she went to the emperor to perform a ceremony.

Xu Chong introduced Xiu Nu's family background, name, and what she was good at. During the period, Jing Guhan took a look at it, and if it was suitable, she would be granted a position and stay in the palace.

Looking at more than a dozen people like this, Zhong Yanyu didn't see Jing Guhan leaving one or two behind, even the empress dowager frowned, "The emperor doesn't have many favorites?"

Jing Guhan turned the cardboard on his thumb, although he was looking at the beautiful girl, the corner of his eyes frequently fell on the boy beside him, and he saw that the other party drank almost two cups of ginger tea.

Borrowing tea to relieve worries?

He raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't pay attention to what the queen mother said, but just shook his head.

Suddenly, the boy sat up straight, his eyes rested nervously on the beautiful girl in front of him, and his hand holding the teacup tightened a bit.

Jing Guhan didn't know, so he followed his gaze and looked at the woman below.

"Zhao Qinglian, the daughter of the prime minister in the capital, is good-looking, good at poetry and calligraphy, and she is sixteen years old." Xu Chong's shrill voice was a little louder at this time, and even the queen mother paid attention to the girl below.

Unlike other people who were dressed in cool and gorgeous clothes, the girl only wore a moon-white dress, and the hairpin on her head was also extremely clean, with a simple and elegant pink and daisy. Among all the charming women just now, she was elegant and refined.

"Does your majesty remember the trip to the Duan Xingyuan when he was young? Miss Zhao introduced us, and the former companions are now hired girls." Zhong Yanyu looked far away, as if feeling a little emotional.

Jing Guhan remembered.

This is the marriage partner Zhong Chuxun found for Zhong Yanyu, the kind who almost came to propose marriage!

His face was ashen, and he looked at Zhao Qinglian with a bad look, "This body is so clean, it seems that Miss Zhao has ambitions in her heart, and she definitely doesn't like to be bound in the palace."

Zhao Qinglian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly dismissed it, "The minister's daughter-in-law and aunt died less than a year ago, and she took care of Qinglian more during her lifetime, so she chose more elegant dresses to remember her kindness."

Seeing that Jing Guhan had no intention of doing so, the Queen Mother couldn't help but say, "The girl from the Zhao family is a filial person and has an old acquaintance with the emperor. I think the tutor in the prime minister's mansion has a good education, so she can cultivate such a jade-like person."

The key point of this sentence is the prime minister's mansion, the queen mother wants to remind Jing Guhan to win over power.

Zhong Yanyu stared straight at Zhao Qinglian, lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, I see that Miss Zhao is a clever girl, why not bring her into the palace to serve His Majesty together, and arrange her in the Kunqing Palace, which is also close to the court of the minister. , It’s also good to talk about poetry and books in your spare time.”

Jing Guhan glanced at him, although the young man's gaze was clear and upright, it was completely different from the indifference just now, almost glued to Zhao Qinglian's body!

He didn't intend to find a lover for his queen. To put it nicely, it's called talking about poetry and books, and at worse, it's called Qingqingwowo. Even if the two behave well, what if they fall in love for a long time?

When talking about poetry and books, why can't the other party talk to me? !

As his thoughts flowed, he felt that Zhao Qinglian couldn't stay, "Since Miss Zhao is in the filial piety period, how did the people in the household department let her come up?"

Xu Chong understood Jing Guhan's thoughts best, meaning that Zhao Qinglian was out of action, so he was given a plum hairpin, and another one followed.

Zhao Qinglian accepted the plum blossom hairpin that Xu Chong handed over, and she was a little unwilling. Her dress was selected out of thousands of choices, just to be different from other beautiful girls, to attract ideas, plus the identity of the prime minister's daughter, she couldn't figure it out. Why did the emperor look down on her? !

Zhong Yanyu was in a place where others could not see, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly recovered his expression.

Zhao Qinglian is a ruthless character. In her previous life, this person almost became Jing Guhan's concubine. If she hadn't acted too ruthlessly, she would have aimed at his position.

Although Jiang Xinyue is still a talented person, if Zhao Qinglian enters the palace, he will be the first to deal with him, and the identity of the prime minister's daughter does make him a little scrupulous. ?
