The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

Jia Yun was promoted to Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry. The happiest thing was not Jia Yun, but the princess, of course. However, in the eyes of Prince Zhongshun, Yuanwailang was a petty official and was not worthy of marrying his daughter. Therefore, Jia Yun still needed to make persistent efforts. .

However, the work of Yuanwailang has seen many people and has a wider network of contacts. Therefore, it is a good job for Jia Yun.

Since Wu Zhao became the younger sister of Nan'an County King and the daughter of Nan'an Concubine, many people came to send congratulatory gifts, and this matter became a topic of conversation in the capital.

If it is about this matter, the happiest person is probably the emperor.

The emperor heard that Concubine Nan'an had adopted Wu Zhao as her daughter, and she was on the family tree. He was very happy, and called the King of Nan'an into the palace, and rewarded the King of Nan'an with a pass. The painting was rewarded, and then I went back.

The emperor was very happy. In this way, Wu Zhao could be brought into the palace, so he asked the queen to prepare a flower viewing party. In name, it was to let the daughters of various families enter the palace to liven up their feelings. In fact, the emperor just wanted to see a Just see Wu Zhao.

How could the queen not know what the emperor was thinking?

It's not that the queen has never presented beautiful women to the emperor. After all, all the concubines in the harem know that they can't be alone, especially the emperor is not the kind of person who loves them, so they must form gangs to preserve their strength.

The queen has also presented many beauties to the emperor, such as her distant sister, etc., she has presented a lot, but only this Wu Zhao, the queen does not want to present to the emperor.

Because the queen thinks that Wu Zhao's looks are too classy, ​​and the emperor never forgets Wu Zhao, so if Wu Zhao really enters the palace, is it okay?Aren't you embarrassing yourself?

The queen couldn't say anything, so she could only hold a flower viewing feast, and was going to invite everyone into the palace, so she could take advantage of this time to beat Wu Zhao.

The emperor asked the queen to hold a banquet, and he also held a banquet. He invited all the princes and princes to enter the palace.

Wu Zhao was going to the palace that day, Xueyan and Zijuan waited on her to wash and dress, Xueyan smiled and said: "Girl, this hairpin looks pretty, why don't you wear this one?"

Wu Zhao glanced at it, then waved his hand and said, "Change one."

Xueyan and Zijuan exchanged several in a row, but Wu Zhao didn't like them all. In the end, Wu Zhao picked one, which turned out to be a very ordinary style, and dressed in ordinary clothes, so he was ready to enter the palace.

There was an endless stream of horses and chariots entering the palace, all the female relatives went to the queen's place to have a banquet, and all the princes and princes came to the emperor.

The emperor set up a banquet, and all the people were seated. Naturally, the King of Beijing County also came, wearing a silver-white official robe and a king's hat, and sat among the people.

The emperor looked very happy today. He drank two glasses of wine at the beginning of the banquet, and then called for singing and dancing.

The atmosphere was very good for a while, and the emperor was also happy to drink, so he smiled and said to the king of Nan'an County: "I heard that you recently recognized a younger sister. I have also met Miss Lin. She is very generous and decent. I have to Say, you have good eyesight."

The king of Nan'an hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The Holy Majesty is absurd."

When everyone heard this, they were afraid that the emperor had a good impression of Nan'an County King's younger sister?

The King of Beijing was sitting at the table, so he naturally heard it. After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head and joked with the others, and then he talked about the King of Beijing.

The emperor walked over with a smile, patted the king of Beijing on the shoulder, and said: "My brother, this really gives me a headache, tell me, now that I'm about to reach the crown, why don't I see someone, why don't you want to accept me?" Going to be a monk? It makes me very distressed."

Everyone laughed immediately, and they all complimented: "The prince of the county is suave and suave, and has a brilliant literary talent. It must be because his vision is too high."

"Yes, yes, a person like the county king will definitely not worry about these things."

"Exactly, I'm afraid those who want to talk about marriage will have to line up from the county prince's mansion to the gate of the palace."

"The king of the county has such vision, I don't know whose girl can finally get into the eyes of the king of the county!"

Everyone complimented, King Beijing slowly put down his wine glass, made a soft "do" sound, then raised his hands, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you my Majesty, in fact, I already have someone I like. "

When the emperor heard it, he immediately laughed and said, "Oh? Who is it? Whose girl is so tall? Has she caught my brother's eyes? You say it, and I will marry you!"

The King of Beijing smiled, although his voice was not loud, but his words were very clear, and said: "It's not someone else, it's the daughter of the Censor of Zuo Fudu, the younger sister of King Nan'an...Miss Lin."

When he said this, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly froze, a little bit frozen, and finally turned into a face full of embarrassment.

Because the emperor also praised Wu Zhao just now, such good, so good, what kind of grandeur, etc., the meaning is obvious, the emperor seems to have a good impression of Wu Zhao, and he wants to get him into the palace soon, but immediately Yes, the King of Beijing even said in front of people that he likes Wu Zhao.

This time, the scene was extremely embarrassing. Many people were watching the excitement, but they stopped talking. Looking at the emperor's expression with a smirk, they felt that the king of Beijing County didn't know how to look at his face. Can you still compete with the emperor for a woman?Isn't this embarrassing?

Suddenly, the scene became cold, and no one spoke. Many people stared at the Prince of Beijing, who had an open and frank look.

After a while, the emperor's face became more and more ugly. At this time, Prince Zhongshun cupped his hands suddenly and said: "The king of the county and Miss Lin are both talented and beautiful. They are a natural couple. Your majesty, this is a rare match made in heaven."

When the emperor heard this, his complexion became even worse. No one in the civil and military courts spoke, but the loyal prince, that is, the emperor's uncle, spoke. Among the emperor's uncles, only the loyal prince was left. , And those who speak loudly have many supporters. After speaking like this, many people also came forward to speak for the king of Beijing County.

As the emperor said just now, the king of Beijing Jing had a crush on a girl from that family, so he proposed marriage to him, but now it is all right, the emperor can't say anything, his face turned blue immediately, and then he turned and returned to his seat. Did not speak.

After a while, everyone looked at their noses, noses, noses and hearts, and the emperor said: "I don't feel well, I'm going to rest first, everyone, please enjoy yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left, the little eunuch behind him hurriedly followed, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, the emperor just left, let alone mentioning marriage.

Because the emperor left, many people were about to leave. They all got up and dispersed. If it was on weekdays, they would have to exchange greetings with the king of Beijing County. Today, no one dared to talk to the king of Beijing County. say.

Prince Beijing stood up, took a glass of wine, walked up to Prince Zhongshun, and said with a smile, "Shui Rong respects Uncle Huang."

Prince Zhongshun didn't pick up the cup either, he just said: "This king can't afford it."

King Beijing smiled and said, "Uncle Huang was still talking about Shui Rong just now, so this glass of wine is naturally worthy of it."

Prince Zhongshun said again: "I am not speaking for you, I am only thinking of my own interests."

Which prince, county king, which Hou Bo has no contacts in the harem?There are supporting concubines, or groups, of course Prince Zhongshun is indispensable.

He has seen Wu Zhao before. He has a superior appearance, speaks more sharply, is sharp-tongued, and is also a smart person. Prince Zhongshun is about to wonder, if Wu Zhao enters the palace, won't the people he supports be in trouble?

Naturally, Prince Zhongshun didn't want Wu Zhao to enter the palace. If Wu Zhao entered the palace, it would be a trouble.

The king of Beijing County smiled and said: "That is also to thank the emperor, after all, no matter how good the friendship is, it can't match the unity of interests, isn't it?"

Hearing what he said, Prince Zhongshun picked up his glass and drank all the wine in it.

After drinking all the wine, Prince Zhongshun's face that has never changed for thousands of years smiled, just for a while, and said: "Although I have said some good things for you, Miss Lin still needs you Work hard, Miss Lin is not an ordinary daughter, and whether you marry or not depends on your luck."

Prince Zhongshun said that's all, threw the wine glass on the table with a "Duo!", got up quickly, and walked away.

Let's say that Wu Zhao entered the palace and went straight to the Queen's bedroom. Many people were already there, except for the daughters of some princes, Xue Baochai was also there.

Xue Baochai was sitting beside the empress, held by the empress, smiling meekly, chatting with the empress.

The empress seemed to like to see such a docile person, and she couldn't like it right away. Just as she was talking, Wu Zhao came in from the other end.

When the queen saw Wu Zhao, her smile froze for quite a while, but she couldn't be too obvious. She still said kindly: "Miss Lin is here, sit next to me. You are a favorite. I said a few days ago I want to accept you as a foster daughter, but there are too many irrelevant things, I forgot about it for a while, but Princess Nan'an took the opportunity, and now you have become my younger sister instead?"

Wu Zhao could hear the queen's jealous tone, and said, "How dare the little girl call the queen's sister sisters, it's a shame for the little girl."

When the queen heard that Wu Zhao "flattered" herself, at least she looked decent, and she gave herself enough face in front of others, so her temper improved a little, she let go of Xue Baochai's hand, let her sit back, and pulled Wu Zhao by herself, letting Wu Zhao Zhao sat next to him.

The banquet here will start soon, and the empress has been pulling Wu Zhao to sit beside her, seemingly very intimate.

Others didn't see the clue at all, they thought that the empress loved to see Wu Zhao very much. How could they know that Wu Zhao had a handle on the empress and Princess Yongchang?

Everyone drank two cups of wine, Wu Zhao didn't dare to drink more, the girls from all the families became active, looked at the flowers, ate the wine, talked about needlework, which family had the best tricks, and there was a new one in the palace. What hairpin style and so on.

Wu Zhao didn't do much research on these things. After all, he was too petty. In Wu Zhao's eyes, he didn't think much of it.

Many people heard that Wu Zhao was the adopted daughter of Concubine Nan'an, and she was included in the family tree, so they wanted to talk to Wu Zhao, but firstly, Wu Zhao was sitting next to the empress, and they dared not rush over, and secondly, they He is not familiar with Wu Zhao, and has no relationship with him.

So many people encouraged Xue Baochai. They heard that Xue Baochai knew Miss Lin, and they lived together in the past. They must be familiar with each other and have some relatives.

Xue Baochai was begged, and she kept her face calm, but she was very embarrassed in her heart. Although they lived together before, the Rongguo Mansion was so big that they didn't have much contact with each other. Besides, Xue Baochai had just heard about it from her mother, Aunt Xue. Well, Wu Zhao is a sinister and ruthless person. He even cheated Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng just now, and insisted on letting Mrs. Wang give Jia Yun some kind of support.

To tell the truth, Xue Baochai was cautious and cautious, so he didn't want to provoke Wu Zhao, so he declined and said, "Sister Lin and I know each other, and we've known each other for a long time, but now, Sister Lin is talking to the empress. In the past, I'm afraid it was disrespectful, let's find another time."

Her words were very sweet, and among the girls there were very few girls as delicate and sweet as her, so she didn't hear Xue Baochai's prevarication, so she thought it was the case.

Everyone on the other side got up to admire the flowers, but the empress still took Wu Zhao's hand and said, "There are few people on the other side, let's go over, just the two of us, and talk about ourselves."

Wu Zhao knew what the Empress wanted to say to him, and she didn't refuse, so she agreed, "Yes, Empress."

The empress wanted to whisper to Wu Zhao, but everyone didn't dare to follow, so they began to admire flowers and poems in groups.

The emperor got angry in front of the king of Beijing County, so he got up and left, but he didn't go back to the bedroom, but went to the queen's place. He knew that Wu Zhao was with the queen, so he wanted to meet one by chance.

The emperor hurried over, but no one told anyone to pass it on. When he entered the hall, he found no one. Only then did he know that the empress took the daughters and went to the imperial garden for a walk.

The emperor hurried over again, at this moment Wu Zhao had already gone to whisper with the empress, and the emperor couldn't find him at all.

The emperor looked around from a distance, but he couldn't find it, and felt even more irritable, so he turned around and wanted to leave. At this moment, he heard "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Son, was hit, the whole person fell to the ground, the flowers were scattered, it turned out to be a girl's house.

Xue Baochai was knocked down to the ground, and when she saw a touch of the dragon robe, she quickly knelt down and saluted, saying: "The daughter of the people offended the emperor, please forgive me!"

The emperor looked down and saw that the person in front of him spoke softly. Although he was not as good as Wu Zhao, he was also generous. He had seen so many flattering and flattering faces, so he was considered good.

The emperor apologized and said, "Who are you? You came to the banquet?"

When the emperor asked, he found out that this young woman was Xue Baochai. She had been selected before, but the emperor had never seen her before. He just thought her status was too low, so she was dismissed. Pointing her to the King of Beijing County, seeing her now, her beauty is so touching.

The queen took Wu Zhao to a place where no one was around, and said, "You are a smart person, we don't speak dark words in front of wise people."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "The Empress is too flattering on my daughter."

The queen sneered and said, "I dare not underestimate you. In the end, I will be the one who suffers. I won't talk about these gossips anymore. Let's talk about something serious."

The queen paused for a moment, stretched out her hand to support the flower branch, seemed to be admiring the flowers, but said: "I know that you have sharp teeth, and your appearance is high-class. If you enter the palace, you will definitely please the emperor... But, In this palace, there are many things you don’t know. It’s not as bright as you think, but a place full of filth. I also pity you. It’s as clean as ice and snow. Once you enter the palace, I am afraid it will be dirty."

When Wu Zhao heard it, he spoke really well, as if thinking of himself, with a dignified mother-of-the-nation tone.

It's just that Wu Zhao didn't know?What kind of place is the palace?Is it more than just a word that can be said to be clean?She understood it early on.

The queen said again: "I can't bear to drag you down this pit of fire, so I tell you straight up, you don't want to enter the palace, but if you like the civil and military affairs of the court, just tell me, I will help you!" Matchmaking, just this year, I will marry you to a good family."
