The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Ninth younger sister stay behind."

Sheng Yuan turned her head when she heard the sound, and it was the fourth cousin Sheng Ting who called her.

"Fourth sister."

Sheng Yuan didn't know what the other party meant by calling her, since she went to Jiujiang Academy to study, she saw fewer cousins ​​in the house.

We usually only see each other during family dinners, so we are far away from each other.

"The girl from the Yun family was invited by the sixth younger sister to come to the house as a guest. If the ninth younger sister is free, come over and have fun together."

The Yun family?Yun family!
"But the girl from Duke Cheng'en's Mansion in Kyoto?" Sheng Yuan remembered that the Queen's aunt had said that the Queen Mother's surname was Yun.

"That's right! This girl from the Yun family is the same age as the second sister and the third sister, but she is on good terms with the sixth sister. It's fate." Sheng Ting said with a smile, "I heard that the Cheng'en government intends to compete for the emperor's grandson." The position of concubine, and soon the girls of the Yun family will hold a flower viewing banquet and invite noble ladies from Kyoto to participate."

Saying this, she tilted her head towards Sheng Yuan and smiled: "Look at me confused! Ninth sister is busy studying, so I'm afraid she's not interested in this kind of communication. That's right, my sister is still young, and she will attend such a banquet when she is twelve or thirteen years old Not too late."

She was talking to herself, and after she finished speaking, she waved to Sheng Yuan and turned to leave.

"???" Sheng Yuan was bewildered by what he heard.

So, this cousin specially called her to stop...for what?
After the inexplicable invitation, and then help her decline on her own initiative?

Sheng Yuan scratched his head, wondering what was going on, but in the end it could only be attributed to the fact that he hadn't seen each other for too long, so he had nothing to say?
Reluctantly helping the other party find a reason, Sheng Yuan shook his head and went back to Yong Fan Yuan.

It wasn't until she heard her parents mention her sister's marriage that she was shocked.

"Young lady from the Yun family wants to be the prince's daughter-in-law?"

"Sister Yuan, what did you say?"

Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng Shi were discussing how to help their eldest daughter retreat without a fight, when they heard the younger daughter say this suddenly, they looked at her in surprise.

Sheng Yuan repeated Sheng Ting's words just now: "Maybe I thought too much, you all know what the prince is thinking, how can anyone in the mansion know?"

Mrs. Zheng was speechless, and looked up at her husband in silence for a moment: "The girls in your family are all extraordinary!"

Sheng Xiangxun still wondered why Sister Ting would say these things. Hearing his wife's teasing, he couldn't help chuckling and said, "I think Sister Ting may have good intentions... Didn't you say that the sixth girl is on good terms with Miss Yun? She and Six The girl has a good relationship, maybe she heard some inside information, and maybe she came to remind her."

"If it is said that she and Liu Yatou are not the same way, I believe it; but if it is said that she came here to remind her that she has no other purpose, I am not sure. I don't see her making friends with our girls on weekdays." Zheng never underestimated A girl who grew up in the courtyard of a deep house.

"What purpose?" Sheng Xiangxun shook his head indifferently, "Okay, let's not talk about her for now."

At this moment, he is still troubled by how to revise the mandarin duck record prepared by the prince.

"This matter can't be said directly. Although the crown prince is close to me, he is a king after all. And this king's heart is impermanent. He arranges it like this. From his point of view, he still takes care of our family!

If we object blindly, I'm afraid we will say that we don't know what to do.

If he brings it up first, I refuse, so it's okay to say... But look at the meaning, I'm afraid it's a direct decision?People didn't reveal their tone, so we just leaned over and said we don't want to marry, which is not very good-looking! "

Mrs. Zheng nodded, worrying: "Who says it's not! If others will get it wrong, the crown prince didn't order our sister An to be the emperor's concubine, it would be a joke! It's not a big deal for us to be ridiculed, but if It would be bad to affect sister Anth's reputation."

"I don't think it's settled. Otherwise, how can the Yun family be sure to run for the imperial concubine?"

Seeing his parents' sad faces, Sheng Yuan felt that this matter might not have a turning point.

"I heard from the Queen's aunt that the Yun family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion is very meticulous in raising the girls, and they are very motivated.

That being the case, the grandson of the prince's mansion may not be able to catch their eyes, and the grandson of the third grandson is watched by the An family, and the Yun family may not be willing to meet them.

Only with the second emperor's grandson, the grandfather Xie's family did not have a suitable age girl, and he himself was very popular with the emperor and the prince.Such a promising emperor's grandson might not be the target of the Yun family. "

"Yun family? Because the emperor doesn't like Concubine Yun, he dislikes her so much. They still think about the position of grandson and concubine?"

Sheng Yuan felt that her father's information database should be updated: "The queen's aunt said that the emperor had promised in front of the queen mother that people from the Yun family would enter the palace from generation to generation."

"..." Sheng Xiangxun felt that the promise was a bit watery.

Just as he was about to complain, his wife Zheng kicked him.

"Did you come up with a good idea to keep our sister Anthra from getting mixed up in the royal family?"

"..."

Sheng Xiangxun turned his gaze away guiltily, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately punched his palm, and said pleasantly, "There is a way for my husband!"

More than ten days later, rumors came out from nowhere that the emperor intended to choose Miss Yun's daughter as his grandson concubine.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of traffic in front of Cheng Engong Yun's mansion.

In Yongfanyuan, Zheng was startled and beat her husband with a beauty, and asked in a soft voice, "How dare you mention the grandson! That is the crown prince! The emperor and the crown prince clearly did not mention the name of the grandson, how could you?" Dare to point it out!"

"I'm so wronged!" Sheng Xiangxun didn't dare to hide, and let her beat her a few times to vent her anger, before she said, "This, this, this... I didn't eat the heart of a bear, how dare I touch the beard of a tiger?" !"

He is not good at making intrigues and tricks. When he was studying, he said that he is not a material for making plans to determine the world.

"You know that Erlang from the Yun family didn't get along with me since he was a child, he was like this in the palace when he was young, and it's the same outside when he grew up.

I wanted to find an opportunity to meet him, and provoke him to say that the Yun family intends to compete for the position of imperial concubine.

If this word gets out, if the emperor agrees because of the empress dowager, they will get what they want, and our sister Anthony will also be able to escape unscathed.

Who would have thought that the boy would hide in the mansion and could not come out. I haven't found a chance yet, so the rumor spread! "

Seeing that his words did not seem to be fake, Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and threw the beauty hammer aside.

"Then what's going on? Could it be Yun's own handwriting?"

"Who knows this!"

The husband and wife looked at each other and said to themselves, they don't know which kind-hearted person made the move.

……

"Crack!" Sheng Han threw the cup in his hand to the ground, threw himself on the bed angrily, and tore at the brocade handkerchief with gritted teeth.

The little girl who was driven outside heard the movement, and just about to poke her head, the big girl reprimanded her.

When she calmed down, the big servant girl went to comfort her.

"What did you do? You were clearly asked to find someone to spread rumors that Sheng An had the appearance of Fengming Nine Heavens. How did you spread Yun Wuheng's reputation?" Sheng Han grabbed the arm of his confidant maid, and locked her eyes tightly Eyes, as if to see through each other.

"This is how I did it! The wax pellets you gave to me, I have never been in the hands of others!"

"Then what's going on?!" Sheng Han still trusted the maid, let go of her hand, retreated into the bed trembling, and muttered softly, "Could it be that Sheng An is really the king of Chu?" The doomed imperial concubine? Can't even tear it down?"

"No way!" Sheng Han bit his lower lip and clenched his fists fiercely with his slack gaze froze just now, "There must be a way!"
