After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 1 Draft
The sun was scorching, and the flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom. The beautiful women to be selected were even more beautiful than those flowers. Groups of three or five walked in the imperial garden, adding a bit of color to the beauty of the garden.

Gu Wanning raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, but her eyes looked at the surrounding environment from time to time.

There was an oriole parked on the willow tree not far away. It had been standing on the tree blankly for a long time, and its eyes had been fixed on Gu Wanning's body. Its silly appearance seemed quite interesting.

Naturally, Xiuyu also saw the oriole bird. These days in the palace, she secretly watched all the beautiful women, and there was no one whose appearance could compare with her own lady!
Even the birds are attracted by the fairy-like beauty of his young lady, are you afraid that the emperor will not leave a sign?
With a glance, Xiuyu saw a master and a servant slowly approaching in front of her, and quickly reminded: "Miss, the eldest lady of the prime minister's family is ahead, let's avoid it."

This lord is not someone her family can offend, and the lord's appearance has already been envied by many people. If Miss Zhang is added, it will be dangerous!
Gu Wanning frowned slightly, but she didn't say a word to Xiuyu's words.

Rumor has it that on the day when Zhang Yanran, the prime minister's daughter-in-law, was born, the sky was full of sunshine, and a Taoist priest came to give orders, saying that this daughter must be extremely expensive in the future!

How can a woman be invaluable?

That is naturally the queen of the palace!
Therefore, the name of the prime minister's daughter-in-law has been passed down since she was six years old. It is rumored that she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was married to the prince and became the princess.

But for some unknown reason, Zhang Yanran did not appear in the draft three years ago.

Just when everyone thought that Prime Minister Zhang was reluctant to let his daughter enter the palace as a concubine and wanted to marry himself, the Zhang family did not spread the news that he would look after his daughter.

Three years later in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yanran appeared in this year's draft list again at the age of 17.

A smart person suddenly understood what Prime Minister Zhang meant, because there had been rumors in the palace that this year's draft was mainly for the two princes to choose the prince and concubine.

Today, there are twelve sons under the Holy Majesty's knees. The Eldest Prince was born weak. After getting married, he was directly named King An by the Holy Majesty, but because of his poor health, he stayed away from the court.

In addition, the crown prince and the second, third, and fifth princes all have concubines. However, it takes some time for the prince to build a mansion. The three princes are still living in the prince's residence. The sixth prince concubine suddenly had a dystocia a month ago, killing two people.

Therefore, in this draft, the Holy Majesty will choose the concubine for the sons of the sixth prince and the seventh prince.

To be honest, Prime Minister Zhang was very depressed. Logically, it is impossible for the emperor to let his daughter marry someone other than the prince. After all, almost everyone in the capital knows that his daughter is born with a phoenix. The concubine has been chosen for the prince, it is Qin Qiaolan, the daughter of the right minister, who has already entered the prince's mansion.

The prince already has a princess, who is still the daughter of the old man surnamed Qin. He has suppressed the one surnamed Qin all his life, and he cannot tolerate his own daughter being dominated by the daughter surnamed Qin.

So he set his sights on the position of the seventh prince and concubine.

The Seventh Prince was born by a noble concubine, and there was no favor in the middle palace. The emperor hardly went there except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

The imperial concubine is over 30 years old, and the emperor will also go to the imperial concubine's palace for a few days every month. Besides, besides the prince, the emperor loves the seventh prince the most. The seventh prince received the most praise when he was in Taixue.

The most important thing is that the Xia family that the imperial concubine came from was a first-rank general of the country, holding the power of one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

On the contrary, the heirloom of the Qi family's poems and books produced by the empress, the emperor named Cheng Engong, and some of the Qi family's children were officials in the court, but their official positions were too low, and the highest official position was only the queen's own younger brother, a third-rank son. There is no other way, this uncle of the country likes farming, and he is quite happy doing it.

The matriarchal status of the two princes can be seen from this.

As for the sixth prince who was directly ignored by Prime Minister Zhang, his mother passed away early and he was not favored, the sixth prince had nothing to show for, and the throne would never be his turn no matter what.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Gu Wanning, the reason why she has to wait for Zhang Yanran here is because she has gotten to know Zhang Yanran a lot during these few days in the palace!
On the outside, Zhang Yanran appears to be well-educated and reasonable, she is unsurpassed in beauty, and treats people with generosity, but in fact, she is so cunning that she doesn't pay for her life.

Her goal of entering the palace was obvious, she was afraid that a woman who was more beautiful than her would attract someone's attention, so she did a lot of tricks secretly, and Gu Wanning just happened to have a jealous face.

Gu Wanning stood on the spot and quietly looked at Zhang Xiang's eldest daughter:
Wrapped in pale pink gauze, the white gauze reveals the beautiful and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats of the skirt flow like snow and moonlight on the ground, making the gait more graceful and soft. A wisp of blue silk hangs on the chest, and the powder is thinly applied, and the looming red leaves on the cheeks create a kind of pure skin that is as delicate and lovely as petals, and the whole person is like a butterfly blowing in the wind.

Just looking at her appearance, she was impeccable. No wonder everyone in the capital called Zhang Xiang's daughter Allure, her face was absolutely brilliant.

Seeing the person approaching, he picked off a red camellia with white spots and put it in his nose to sniff. very beautiful?"

Before Xiuyu could answer, Zhang Yanran shouted, "Presumptuous! Are you able to pick the flowers in the imperial garden?"

Originally thought that her appearance was definitely the most beautiful among the girls in this year's show, but unexpectedly, she met a strong opponent. She was about to get Gu Wanning out of the palace, but she bumped into it by herself!

How could she not seize such a good opportunity?

Gu Wanning was frightened by this scolding and took a few steps back. She and Xiuyu were standing relatively sideways. Behind the camellia bushes was the lotus pond in the imperial garden. Her foot was unsteady, and she leaned back towards the lotus pond. fall.

You can't quarrel, if you quarrel, you will really end up feuding. There is a family who is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and she can't afford to provoke her as a mere daughter of a fourth-rank official.

If you still have to give her a chance to do something, then you can only fall into the water by yourself. I hope Miss Zhang will work harder, don't take pity on her delicate flower, and drive her out of the palace as soon as possible!

Xiuyu, who didn't know what her lady was planning, was so frightened that she panicked, "Ah", she yelled, "Help someone, my lady fell into the water, she can't swim!"

With the sound of a "plop" falling into the water, the imperial garden was in chaos. A maid had already jumped off the lotus pond to rescue Gu Wanning who was thumping non-stop. As soon as she was sent ashore, Xiuyu took her coat Covered on my young lady's body, everything else is easy to say, don't let those eunuchs and guards see my young lady's body.

After Gu Wanning was sent away, Zhang Yanran secretly cursed "unlucky", twisted her graceful waist and led the servant girl away.
