[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

"I know you have the right idea, so I selected three families for you to choose." Yingchun said, these three families are all good in Yingchun's opinion, but each represents a different path to take in the future.

"Second sister, please tell me," Tanchun said.

She really has a sharp personality, she is not shy at all, she is almost as good as Feng Lazi, but when you think about it carefully, isn't it because she has no elders to rely on at home, so she can only stand up on her own?Rejoicing can only make people feel sad.

"The first family is the Duke's family. The second son of their family is about the same age as you, but you should also know that because the second son does not need to inherit the family business, and the elders in the family dote on him, so some Pampered, but because of the family tradition, the character is not bad, I have never taken concubines, but I have a few concubines around me."

If you marry into this family, you don't need to worry about making a living. When something happens, the elders will love and make decisions. The second son has a good personality, but because he is the second son, he will not be able to inherit the family business in the future, nor will he be able to Touch the power.

Tanchun seemed to be thinking about it, but she didn't say she was willing or unwilling. Yingchun knew what Tanchun meant. She didn't care about a plain and rich life.

"The second family is not a family but it is also a scholarly family. They have a good family style. There are three sons in their family, and they are all sons. Because there is a rule in their family that it seems that men can only take concubines when they have no children at [-]. , The eldest son of their family has married a wife and treats his wife very well, the second son is about the same age as you, and is very talented, he is already a juror at a young age," Yingchun told another family.

In Yingchun's opinion, this family is very good. The rule that you can take concubines only when you have no children in your thirties, I don't know how many women will like it. The key is that you are very self-motivated, and you are already a man at a young age. If there is hope, it is perfect to become an official after taking the Jinshi examination. If you are unable to fight anymore, with your status as a juren, you can also raise a small official and slowly climb up.

"It's just that because their family is a scholarly family, they have some prejudice against people from our school. It takes some thought to manage the family relationship at the beginning, but my younger sisters are all talented, so I don't worry about blending in." Don't go in."

"Scholarly people are noble, and when Daqin's gangsters conquered the world, they were followed by people like us. If you really say that they have a scholarly family and a noble background, can they compare with Sister Lin's family?" Tanchun said.

Yingchun said in her heart, it seems that this family is okay in Tanchun's heart, otherwise she would not have said this. To be honest, among the three families, she is most satisfied with this one. It's so easy to get excited.

"Second sister, didn't you say there is another family?" Tanchun said.

"Yes, there is another family, but this one..." Yingchun's expression was a bit indescribable.

"Second sister, if you can bring it up, there must be something special about this family," Tanchun said.

"He is a concubine, and his biological father didn't like him. Because he is suppressed by his aunt, his reputation is not very good now. Even if he gets married in the future, this kind of aunt-in-law is not easy to get along with."

Yingchun talked about all the shortcomings, but Tanchun's eyes lit up, and he urged, "Second sister has so many shortcomings that you have to bring up, it must be that you are superior in some way, and it is extremely dazzling."

Seeing Tanchun's expression, Yingchun secretly said that it was true, and then said, "When the emperor commented on this person, he said that he has the talent of a great official in the frontier."

Looking at Tanchun's bright eyes, Yingchun added, "I know a little bit about this person, he is a capable person, but correspondingly, he is scheming and ruthless, otherwise the emperor would not say that he is the last one if he is talented. I can become a great official in the frontier."

"So, how is he treating his own people?" Tanchun asked, this point is related to her final choice.

"I don't know if he's acting or if he's sincere. He takes good care of the servants left behind by his dead mother." Yingchun said.

"Second sister, this is the only family!" Tanchun said firmly.

"Are you sure? Elder sister knows what you're thinking, but the rich life of the first family, and the easy life of the second family as long as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is handled well, don't these all impress you?"

"Second sister, you know my position in the family. I want to change. I hope to be a good wife and help my husband climb the peak. Even if it is a husband and wife who work hard, but after going through hardships together, we are yearning for each other. , The fruits picked after setbacks are enough to make people satisfied."

"Second Sister" Tanchun took Yingchun's hand and said cautiously and firmly, "Second Sister, I want to look down from a high place, even if I have to go through hardships along the way."

Yingchun sighed and said, "Your competitive spirit is still so strong, you have to know that you chose the most difficult path."

Tanchun said, "I know, I know Second Sister, you want me to live well, the family you chose for Sister Xichun, the second family you chose for me, and the family and uncle Lin you chose for Sister Lin. The family chosen for Yichun's younger sister is equally good, if you want to live a relaxed life, this is the best family, but it's a pity that my sister's ambition is not here, and she will live up to her expectations."

"You have to think about it carefully, you must know that once the marriage is granted, there is no room for repentance." Yingchun said.

"Second sister, I choose the third family." Tanchun's eyes were extremely firm.

"Forget it, it's up to you. As a sister, I only hope that your choice is right, and I also hope that in this marriage, you can get what you want." Yingchun said.

"Well, my sister is so troublesome about my marriage, it's a great kindness..."

"My sister, don't say such things." Yingchun interrupted Tanchun's words.

Then keep it in mind, Tanchun said secretly, she is very clear, because the second sister is the queen, she and Xichun, who are not worthy of marriage, have some capital, so there are more and better choices in marriage.And the second elder sister has done more than her biological parents in their marriage. Knowing sister Xichun's temperament, she chose such a family for her to get along with, knowing her ambition, and paving the way for her three different paths The direction, but the result is very good, the love of the second sister, she will always remember it in her heart!

When the four of Tanchun left Fengzao Palace and returned to Chuxiu Palace, they could clearly feel that the eyes of all the beautiful women looked at them differently. There was no eagerness to move, but more awe and vigilance.

This is probably the second sister's intention to keep them for dinner. She stayed in Fengzao Palace longer than the daughter of King Beijing Jing and the Chen family of Wu family, which is enough to show that the queen attaches great importance to the four of them. Just like before, those crooked thoughts that arise from being afraid of their appearance, you have to think about the price you want to pay before doing it.

She couldn't forget the hostility and eagerness in the eyes of these people when they saw Sister Lin's demeanor.

The talent show is the same as in previous years, and the rules for show girls entering the palace are also the same as in previous years. Fifty people live in Chuxiu Palace, and the old and kind mothers teach them the rules. The key point is to judge them from the daily behavior of show girls. character.

It is said that there are three women in one drama, let alone more than 50 women who are in competition. The real reason for January in the palace.

Yingchun is recuperating in Fengzao Palace, and occasionally invites Tanchun to talk to each other. If she is bored and listens to the calculations of the show girls to pass the time, the life is considered interesting, and the one-month period is coming soon. , Ushering in the palace election, after the palace election, whether to enter the palace as a concubine or to be married to the royal family, or to go home after losing the election, it can be said that it is the moment to decide a woman's fate. , as if they would have more chances by knocking someone out.

In the harem, the position of the imperial concubine is vacant, but the third among the four concubines, and all the seats below the concubine are vacant. This is too tempting for those who intend to send their daughters into the palace.

No, on this day, the nunnery in charge of Chuxiu Palace came to report that something had happened to one of the show girls, and she, the nun in charge, dared not make a decision, so I asked Yingchun, the queen, to make a decision.

"The waves finally surfaced!" Yingchun said.

"Your Majesty, what should I do about this matter?" asked the nurse in charge.

"Forget it, I'll just take a trip!" Yingchun said.

On the way to Chuxiu Palace, the nurse in charge gave a detailed account of what happened in Chuxiu Palace.

It turned out that Zhang's daughter was pushed and sprained her foot. Because of the status of Zhang's daughter's grandfather and father in the officialdom, and because the nurse in charge didn't know the arrangements for Zhang's daughter, she was afraid of her actions. After breaking the arrangement above, he reported to Fengzao Palace and asked the queen to make a decision.

Yingchun glanced at the nanny in charge, and knew that these people's instinct to figure out people's hearts, they may have turned many turns in this matter, otherwise, when learning the rules, how to deal with beautiful women and unexpected situations, there are always examples follow.

To avoid suspicion, the prime minister's full-time nanny in charge during the draft was not Yingchun's confidant, so the nanny in charge was swayed.

After a cup of tea, the phoenix chariot to welcome the spring stopped in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace.

"Minister/servant welcomes the queen empress."

In Chuxiu Palace, as long as it is visible, no matter whether it is a palace official or a beautiful woman, all perform palace rituals.

"All free!" Yingchun waved her hand, and walked straight to the main hall surrounded by palace people.

Seeing Yingchun entered the main hall, in a remote corner, a beautiful woman said to her companion, "I didn't expect to alarm the empress."

"No, after all, the daughter of the Zhang family involved, her grandfather was a veteran of the three dynasties, her father was a high official in the frontier, and she herself was tested to be a prosperous husband and a prosperous son." The woman's tone was mocking.

"Why do I look at Zhang's daughter's behavior during this period, as if she is unwilling to enter the palace and is determined to lose the election?"

"Hehe! So, Fang Xian is so noble!"

"Shut up, don't be overheard."

"Heh, haven't you seen the laid-back and indifferent look of the Empress? Mrs. Zhang still thinks that she is someone on the cards. Who knows, the Empress Empress doesn't take her seriously at all. , The empress thought it was just watching a monkey show! The Zhang family, I don’t know what’s on her mind, my Cai family is not afraid of her Zhang family.”

That's right, not only are you not afraid, but you also have great hatred, otherwise you wouldn't be so cynic and sarcastic, another beautiful girl secretly said.

Chuxiu Palace Main Hall

Knowing that the Spring Festival might be coming, the seats, screens and other things in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace have been set up, and the only thing left is the person who presides over the overall situation.

After Yingchun sat down, the palace servant brought hot tea, Yingchun took a sip of the tea without haste, and then said slowly, "Bring the beautiful girl involved."

The nanny who was standing by the side went outside the hall and ordered, "The Empress asks, and bring She Shixiu to the hall."

"Yes"

There was no need for the palace servants to summon her again, as soon as she knew that the empress was coming, all the relevant people were taken outside the palace to wait.

"Zhang Xiunv, Zhao Xiunv, please enter the palace." The palace guard said.

Zhao Xiunv was wearing a uniform palace attire, but she might have been affected by the incident just now. She was dressed in a mess, her eyes were unwilling, and she gave Zhang's daughter a bad look, then walked into the palace.

Zhang's daughter is well-groomed, even though it was rumored that she was the one who was injured, she did not appear to be in the slightest distress. At this moment, perhaps because of her injury, she was standing there supported by two other beautiful girls. There was something irrelevant own posture.

Seeing that Zhang Xiunv was standing still, the maid who delivered the message thought that Zhang Xiunv hadn't heard her clearly, and repeated again, "Zhang Xiunv, please enter the palace."

I saw that Zhang Xiunv, who was originally calm, was shocked, and looked uncertainly at the maid who sent the message, as if she didn't believe what she heard.
