Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 26 Roommate
The emperor took a piece from the chess box, "Yong Zhou, your concubine has been dead for two years, and it's time for you to renew. There are many good women in this draft, so you can choose one."

Other clans can directly refer to marriage, but King Jin can't.

King Jin, who no longer commanded the Huben Army and Xuanjia Army, was still fearful of him and dared not make direct decisions.

"I would like to obey the holy order." King Jin said respectfully.

"Yong Zhou, you know that this is not a sacred order, if you don't want to, forget it." The emperor immediately backed down.

"I'm not unwilling, I will choose carefully." Jin Wang never mentioned that he had already taken a fancy to someone.

"Young concubine's younger sister, she is also running for the election this time. I heard that you and Yong Zhou are old acquaintances." The emperor laughed.

King Jin's expression was serious, "Your Majesty, I have always abided by etiquette and never had close contacts with women in my boudoir."

He didn't have any impression of Concubine Song's younger sister, and he didn't even want to have anything to do with her.

Listening to the words, the emperor knew that King Jin had no intentions for Song's daughter, so the chess piece held between his fingers fell on the chessboard.

King Jin handed over the chess piece held in his left hand to his right hand.

His marriage has already been calculated once, and no one will calculate him again.

This time, he will marry whoever he wants to marry.

In the chess game between the emperor and the king of Jin, the emperor won with one glance.

The re-selection of the draft is also over, and out of the [-] show girls, [-] have been reserved.

Jiang Changning, Zhao Xifang, Song Yirou, the three Zhuangjia sisters, Xie Baoyin and Lu Xiuju were all among them.

The show girls who passed the re-election were not allowed to leave the palace, and the nanny took them to Jingyi Palace.

The nurse in charge of Jingyi Palace was already waiting for them in front of the hall, and behind her were twenty court ladies.

"My servant's surname is Fei. Ladies and gentlemen, you can address your servant as Aunt Fei. These fifteen maids are in charge of your daily affairs..."

Hearing that there were only fifteen court ladies at his disposal, except for a few beautiful girls from poor families, the other beautiful girls complained.

Everyone is a lady, one step at a time, eight steps at a time, and there are at least four servant girls by her side to serve her.

Now there are four people, ordering a maid, of course they are not happy, all of them have ugly faces.

However, their family should have invited mothers and aunts from the palace to teach them etiquette. They should have known these things a long time ago. Is there any need to complain?

Aunt Fei obviously didn't intend to pamper the beautiful women, she coughed softly, raised her voice, and said, "There are palace rules in the palace, no matter how the girls are at home, when you are in the palace, you must abide by the rules in the palace."

When the show girls calmed down, she continued: "It's getting late, girls go to the room to rest for a while, please go to the main hall for lunch."

The show girls live in two side halls, east and west, with a total of more than [-] rooms. In this way, four people live in one room, and two people live in one room.

The rooms are allocated according to the family background, the grades of the father and brother, and the difference between the son and the concubine.

Jiang Changning was allocated the sixth room in the West Hall, a room for four people.

Zhuang Qingyan, Zhuang Juyue, Xie Baoyin, and Lu Xiuju were all in the East Hall, divided into different rooms.

Zhuang Qingchan was assigned to the eighth room in the west hall, which was also a room for four people.

Entering the door is a three-panel screen embroidered with flowers. When you bypass the screen, you can see four beds, which are very narrow.

According to Jiang Changning's visual inspection, it is less than three feet, about eighty centimeters.

With such a narrow bed, even if you turn over, you can roll out of the bed.

The other three show girls also came in, looking at the bed, their expressions were not very good.

"Four beds, one for each person, which one do you want to sleep in?" Jiang Changning took the initiative to break the silence.

The four of us can't just be so stupid and stare at the four beds in a daze.

The three chose the bed, and left the bed on the upper right side to Jiang Changning.

The girl who chose the upper bed on the left said: "We will live together for a month, let's get to know each other. My name is Chen Yi, and my father is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. I am 16 years old."

The girl on the lower bed on the left smiled and said, "My name is Wang Lingzhi. My father is a judge in Taiyuan Prefecture. I am 14 years old."

Three pairs of eyes looked over, Jiang Changning smiled and said: "My name is Jiang Changning, from Hangzhou, my father has passed away, and I am 16 years old."

"You are a girl!" Wang Lingzhi blurted out, with contempt in her eyes.

Jiang Changning smiled without saying a word, and in his heart he classified Wang Lingzhi as unacceptable.

"You are Miss Jiang, I've heard of you." Chen Yi said.

Hearing what she said, Jiang Changning immediately remembered, the third young master who came to the dealer to propose marriage, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The girl on the lower right said: "Miss Jiang is a daughter of an aristocratic family. The Jiang family in Hangzhou is after Emperor Yan, and has produced many famous generals."

"It's okay not to mention the glory of our ancestors." Jiang Changning said modestly.

The surname Jiang originated from Emperor Yan, and Jiang Changning knew about it. As for those famous generals, Jiang Changning did not know about them, so this topic cannot continue.

Seeing the eyes of the three people looking over, the girl on the lower right smiled and said, "My name is Fang Youting, and my father is the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan. I am also 16 years old this year."

Tongpan is the official sixth-rank official in the local area, and experience is the official sixth-rank official in the local area.

The right servant of the Ministry of Rites is the third-rank official in the capital. According to the rank, Chen Yi should be assigned to the East Hall.

But she will live with them, which shows one thing, Chen Yi is a concubine.

Chen Yi smiled and said: "Coincidentally, the three of us are all 16 years old, and I was born in March of the year of Geng Shen."

"Then I'm older than you, I'm from the first month." Fang Youting smiled.

"I'm from the twelfth lunar month." Jiang Changning was the youngest of the three.

"By the way, Miss Jiang, why didn't I see you on the way?" Fang Youting asked.

Most of the local beautiful girls are escorted to Beijing by the government, and a small number of them will go to Beijing in advance because they have relatives and friends in Beijing.

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "I live in Beijing."

"You have relatives in Beijing, who are you? What kind of official position do you hold in the court?" Wang Lingzhi interrogated.

Jiang Changning acted as if he hadn't heard of it, but said to Fang Youting with a look of yearning: "The West Lake in June should be boundless blue with lotus leaves in the sky!"

"All year round, the scenery of the West Lake is very beautiful. Orioles are heard in the waves of the willows, the moon is reflected in the Three Pools, the lotus winds in the Quyuan, and the snow on the broken bridge." Fang Youting laughed.

"Hey, I'm asking you something, you're deaf." Wang Lingzhi sternly said in displeasure.

"You ask, do I have to answer?" Jiang Changning looked at her coldly, "I am not a prisoner, and you are not a master in court."

"Any question is answered, it's polite." Wang Lingzhi pouted.

Jiang Changning sneered: "Before asking others to be polite, you have to be polite first."

"Why am I being rude? I asked you a question, but you ignored me." Wang Lingzhi spoke eloquently.

Jiang Changning stared at her, and said word by word: "The question you asked is impolite."

When we first met, we got to the bottom of it.

Wang Lingzhi pursed her lips and remained silent. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Youting hurried over to open the door, it was the maid who was serving them, "Hi girl, servant girl Qiuwen."

"But should we go to the main hall for lunch?" Fang Youting asked.

"Yes, girl." Qiuwen said with a smile.

The four girls came out of the room, and the girls in other rooms were also invited out by the maids. Everyone lined up and went to the main hall.

　Note: Chen Yi and Fang Youting are very important female supporting roles.
