Chapter 42 Strength
As Concubine Xian said, she suddenly put her hands on her waist, raised her chin, and asked with the posture of a superior: "Do you think I look good in this body?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone at the scene was embarrassed.

Shui Hanzhou, the younger brother of Concubine Xian, even regretted following him.

Here it goes, here it goes again, the damned desire to win.

Just because he said before that she was like a village girl, beware that the emperor doesn't want her, is she going to save face in front of a little court lady?
Shui Hanzhou couldn't help sneering, wishing he could drag Concubine Xian back on the spot and pack her away.

As for the others, they were far less optimistic than him.

Because this is basically a proposition.

If Jiang Baoyu said she was good-looking, then she might be able to win the favor of the concubine Xian, but because of this, she would also form a flattering image in the hearts of her colleagues, which would be shameless for most people.

Especially Jiang Shangfu will never spare her.

Besides, although Concubine Xian has a high position and authority, Jiang Baoyu is a member of the Imperial Service Bureau, and there are not many opportunities to get in touch with Concubine Xian.

She is a little maid, even if she can win Concubine Xian's favor for a while, it is only for a while.

After today, she still needs to work in the Royal Fashion Bureau and live under the eyes of everyone.

The image of a flattering, treacherous villain is really bad.

But if he told the truth to Concubine Xian, he might die now.

How could Jiang Baoyu not know how powerful it is?

But things have come to this point, so we have to fight.

So she gritted her teeth, bowed her head slightly to bow to Concubine Xian, and still said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lady, in my humble opinion, this outfit of my lady does not look good."

"You are bold!"

Du Shangyi was the first to rush over, glaring at Jiang Baoyu and said: "My lady's taste, how can you, a lowly servant, be able to say anything at will?"

"I asked her to say it, you don't like it?" It seemed that she was displeased with Du Shangyi's overpowering, Concubine Xian was not very happy at the moment, the look in Du Shangyi's eyes could send chills down her back.

But when she looked at Jiang Baoyu, there was a little more smile on Concubine Xian's face.

"You keep talking."

Jiang Baoyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she was betting right. Although Concubine Xian's temperament is quite different from Shui Hanzhou's, both siblings are very patient and allow others to finish talking.

So she stabilized her mind and continued: "My servant believes that between beauty and health, people should choose health first. Because the human body is the foundation of all beauty.

Although the sun is getting thicker and the weather is getting warmer in May, but my mother is recovering from a serious illness, so she naturally wants to dress warmly and healthily.

And according to my humble opinion, the beauty of a woman does not come from the outside or even the eyes of others, but should come from the heart, as long as the heart is pure and kind, confident and firm, and have a clear conscience. "

As Jiang Baoyu said, he subconsciously glanced at Concubine Xian, raised the corners of his lips and said, "Besides being able to behave as elegantly as your empress, no matter what she wears, she can be beautiful. So as long as your empress dresses as you like and is comfortable, your empress will be beautiful." Beautiful, and this kind of beauty has nothing to do with clothing, but comes from the heart of the empress."

Having said that, Jiang Baoyu subconsciously glanced at the eldest grandson Wumei next to him, and then continued to say modestly and politely: "Of course, if the empress is willing to trust the adults of the Shangfu Bureau, she can wear healthier and more beautiful clothes in the future. It will add to the beauty of the empress."

The corners of Concubine Xian's mouth rose unconsciously after Jiang Baoyu's beautiful words, and she couldn't help laughing at the end.

"Okay, I know you have a clever mouth."

As Concubine Xian spoke, she subconsciously looked at Shui Hanzhou with disgust in her eyes, as if she was saying: "Look at him, and then look at you as a younger brother. I will learn something for my old lady in the future."

While speaking, he still ordered people to wrap her skirt around her, smiled and said to Jiang Baoyu: "Although you and Jiang Dianyi are sisters, your temperaments are completely different, but you are more like Jiang Shangfu from back then, I like it very much. "

What a great honor it is to be liked by someone who will be a queen in the future, the other little maids all covered their mouths enviously, only hated that when Concubine Xian came over just now, the person who stepped on the column was not herself.

But when they thought about whether they had the ability to do so well in the same situation, they retreated one after another, thinking that such an honor should belong to Jiang Baoyu.

"But I still want to give you the second class." Concubine Xian curled her lips and said, "Because your taste is too bad, I think this set of clothes looks good."

After finishing speaking, she walked to her seat, and said to the other three examiners as she walked, "But you are all more experienced nuns than me, so you must not be influenced by me.

Just bet on your professionalism and dignity, get a fair score, and treat the next candidates with the same attitude. "

"Yes."

Changsun Wumei led the other two examiners to salute Concubine Xian, sitting in their position, he naturally understood what Concubine Xian meant.

She wanted to support Jiang Baoyu without destroying her fair and just reputation.

If Jiang Baoyu was really a dou who couldn't be supported by the mud, she would personally deal with it and drive him out of the palace, but now that she has performed so well, she can give Jiang Baoyu a second class for her reputation.

The examiners should not be blind, they beat her lower.

In addition, Jiang Baoyu's performance in the previous two items is very good, so the scores of the second and the second are not missed. As for whether she can get the first place in the interview, it depends on whether the people behind her have better performance than her.

But Concubine Xian walked halfway, and suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Baoyu, and asked as if she just remembered something: "However, a few days ago, I met a new little maid from the Jiang family in the Shangfu Bureau of the Harem. Call--"

Seeing that Concubine Xian couldn't remember her name, Wang Fu hurriedly stepped forward to remind her in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, it's Jiang Baoyin."

"That's right, that Jiang Baoyin also said that she is Jiang Dianyi's biological sister. I don't know which of the two of you is more powerful?"

When Concubine Xian came in just now, Jiang Baoyin was frightened to death.

Silently prayed millions of Huixian concubines not to see Jiang Baoyu, but in the end Jiang Baoyu stole the limelight.

So she wholeheartedly prayed that Concubine Xian really came to hang out as she said, and she would leave as soon as she finished. Anyway, her results in the essay test were not very good, and the order of the interview was very late.

As long as Concubine Xian couldn't see her interview and couldn't remember her character, she was still safe.

But now I heard Concubine Xian asked Jiang Baoyu about her.

She was scared to death.

Had he known this, he would not have urged Du Shangyi to quickly search Jiang Baoyu's body and talk nonsense.

Jiang Baoyu must have hated her to death, how could he speak well of her?

If she took the opportunity to expose her identity again and pointed out that she lied and deceived Concubine Xian, then she really had no choice but to die.

But Jiang Baoyu didn't mean it at all, and replied without changing his expression: "Your Majesty praises you, the slaves and maidservants are just young maids who have just entered the palace, and have not yet received formal training from the Shangfu Bureau. It’s impossible to talk about it, and naturally there is no distinction between high and low.”

After Jiang Baoyu finished speaking, Concubine Xian only smiled and said nothing to her. Instead, she greeted everyone and left with Concubine De and Shui Hanzhou.

When she was about to leave the examination room, Concubine Xian suddenly slowed down and landed next to Shui Hanzhou. From time to time, she noticed Shui Hanzhou's expression and saw his uncomfortable face, so she couldn't help asking: " Why is your empress looking at my younger brother like this?"

"Heh," Concubine Xian didn't answer Shui Hanzhou's words directly, but turned her head away with a smile, and said, "I agree with what you said to me this morning." After finishing speaking, she quickly walked a few steps , and continued to chat with Concubine De.
