The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian, dressed in palace attire and exquisitely made up, looked picturesquely at Mrs. Wang with a smile, and said gratefully,

"Thanks a lot!"

Wang pursed her lips and smiled,

"Being able to share your worries, I am very happy if there is no hard work. What's more, I have dragged the two girls of the Ji family into trouble this time. You don't know how happy I am!"

Concubine Jiao Xian's eyes flashed a trace of calculation, and she turned to say with distressed and worried eyes,
"Then Mi Er knows what to do? Will Mi Er blame you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang snorted coldly,
"He dares! Now I have made the two girls of the Ji family hate the two daughters of the aristocratic families who have not been selected. Mi Er dares to risk the world's dissatisfaction and approach them at this time. He is disobedient! He doesn't care about his own reputation. You also have to care about the reputation of the Duke of Li and the Shizi!"

This time, Concubine Jiao Xian persuaded the Wang family on the one hand, and Li Fangling did not run for the election.

Although Li Fangling herself has no intentions towards the third and fourth princes, and she really does not want to marry into the royal family, but the little girl always has a bit of competitiveness and curiosity in her heart, so Li Fangling is a little unhappy.

The little sisters all went to the palace to run for election, but she couldn't go, knowing that the family had other plans.

Those who don't know may think that Li Fangling is really unlucky, that he is "ill" at this time, and is very sick.

Either he felt that Li Fangling must be ashamed of himself, and felt that he would not be selected if he went, so it would be better to save his face by not going.

The more Wang and Li Fangling talked, the more they argued. Li Fangling was not very persistent at first, but became tougher and insisted on running for the election!
Li Fangling said angrily,

"Shangguan Xuesheng and Shangguan Sprite can go, so why can't I go!"

There was no other way, so Wang had no choice but to ask Li Mi to persuade Li Fangling.

Li Mi knew about "choosing a concubine", but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Ji Yun and Ji Min were determined not to participate.

Zhou Biao pretended to test the third prince unintentionally. If he said that he took the initiative to choose, the third prince would definitely not choose Li Fangling.

As for the fourth prince, Li Mi felt that the fourth prince was stable and mature, and it would be good for his sister to marry him.

But since his mother spoke up, Li Mi didn't want her family to be too close to the royal family.At least on the surface, not particularly close.

So gladly accepted the task.

After all, Li Fangling was still a girl at heart, so Li Mi threatened her like this

"If you are such a pure-hearted concubine, if you meet a side concubine like Shangguan Xuesheng Shangguan Xuebi, how can you be their opponent? Your future husband's family, even if you marry into other duke's mansion or county prince's mansion, once you come out Even if you spoil your concubine and kill your wife, father and elder brother will definitely be able to seek justice for you! However, if you enter the royal family, father and elder brother will be powerless!"

Li Fangling shivered, she also had lingering fears about what Shangguan's mother and daughter did to her brother that day!
who is brotherA man with both civil and military skills is almost in danger!I can't cry to death if I meet him!

The county lord of Minli also helped at this time. Under Ji Jun's instigation, he came to Li Guogong's mansion, and said to Li Fangling bitterly,
"Why are you mixing it up! You don't like the third prince and the fourth prince, so you are going to disrupt the situation? Let me tell you, don't tell others the gossip I got from Yang Xu. This time, third prince The fourth prince doesn't want to marry a wife at all, but the empress and several concubines want to bring their family to the royal family! For example, Jiao Zhili, the niece of Concubine Jiao Xian, wants to marry the third prince, and Concubine Jiao Xian also has a brother-in-law His daughter, Jiao Zhiliang, is said to have also run for the election. The Duke of Ningguo is optimistic about the fourth prince! You said, you have compared them, and they don’t hate you to death? Especially that Concubine Jiao Xian, why don’t they eat you alive?”

Li Fangling trembled again in fright!

Then, Mi Li County Mistress leaned closer to Li Fangling's ear and whispered,

"I'll only tell you one person! I heard that the second prince also secretly told the empress that he wanted to choose a side concubine, tsk tsk! If you fall in love with him, you have no place to cry!"

Thinking of the second prince's "drinking and wealthy" appearance, Li Fangling completely gave up the idea of ​​going to the election to play and watch the excitement, and felt infinitely pity for those little sisters who are eager to participate in the election!

After all, it is Miss Boudoir, and Li Fangling has no intentions, so her brother and cousin are very good at frightening her!

In this way, Concubine Jiao Xian and Wang are very satisfied.

Concubine Jiao Xian wanted the fifth prince to marry Li Fangling in the future, so that she would be closer to Li Guogong's mansion.

Also, in this way, the fifth prince will be completely out of the throne, but as the son-in-law of Duke Li, he will be the mainstay of the future court!

Hmph, Concubine Han De actually played the idea of ​​the eldest lady of Li Guogong's mansion, and made her big dream of spring and autumn!
Hearing Wang's mention of Li Jie, Concubine Jiao Xian's heart skipped a beat, she pretended to inadvertently took a sip of the tea cup, and said,
"How are the Duke and the Shizi doing recently?"

Upon hearing this, Wang sighed lightly and said,
"The imperial doctor just said that the condition is not progressing, but there seems to be no obvious sign of improvement. He hasn't talked to me too much recently, mainly with Mi'er. The father and son have been discussing for a long time. .”

Concubine Jiao's eyes flashed a trace of pride, but also a trace of disappointment.

Whenever she heard that Li Jie and Wang were not on good terms, she was always very happy.

Facing such a stupid and mediocre woman as Wang, Concubine Jiao Xian sometimes feels sorry for Li Mi, but more often she is secretly happy.

I am more beautiful than Wang Shi, smarter than Wang Shi, more resourceful than Wang Shi, stronger than Wang Shi in everything, except for family background!

Dreaming back at midnight, when Li Jie thinks of Wang's misery, he will think of his beauty!

For this concubine selection, Empress Nangong asked Concubine Jiao Xian to take charge of the specific matters.

Since Concubine Han De is the biological mother of the fourth prince, she naturally has to consider her son, while the third prince has no biological mother, so in order to avoid suspicion, she can only step aside.

Although Concubine Shangguan Shu had raised the third prince, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to show her face and make some "connections" for her daughter, Princess Tongan.

However, Concubine Jiao Xian said,
"I have two princes under my name, and I have to accumulate some experience by helping their elder brothers choose concubines. Sister Shangguan, don't fight with me! Anyway, you don't have a son, and you are the life of a mother-in-law. Enjoy!" Isn't Qingfu not good?"

What he said, without missing a single word, was steady and accurate, and he stabbed Shangguan Shufei's lungs fiercely!
Childlessness is a pain that Concubine Shangguan Shu can't erase in her life!

Concubine Shangguan Shu had an arrogant and upright personality, and in a fit of anger, she walked away in a huff!

One of the reasons why Concubine Jiao Xian pushed Wang to be the "examiner" was that none of the daughters and nieces of the Duke of Li had participated in the election, so Wang could treat every noble daughter who participated in the election fairly and fairly!

This reason is also very good!It looks very powerful!

According to Concubine Jiao Xian's instructions, Wang surreptitiously eliminated those noble ladies who were not pleasing to them in the first round, whose family background they could provoke, and who didn't show their favor to Concubine Jiao Xian extra!

As long as Empress Nangong and Concubine Han De have no objection, everyone else will ignore it!
Taking this opportunity, another wave of hatred for the Ji family sisters!What a feat!

In Dangui Garden, Baojiang asked Ji Jun and Ji Min weakly,

"Then do you dare to swear?"

Ji Min sneered,
"Swear? On what do I swear? For you?"

Ji Jun speculated that Wang might have used the words "My niece mentioned you, Barabara" as a "signal" to imply that other judges gave the noble daughter in front of her a low score.

As long as one or a few of these unsuccessful people firmly believe in Wang's words, they can bring a lot of trouble to themselves and Xi'er!
Haitang couldn't stand listening anymore, and said seriously,
"Miss Baojiang, if Mrs. Li Guogong's wife said such a thing to dozens of noble girls, is my lady going to swear to them one by one?"

Ji Jun was a little annoyed and said,
"If you believe it, you can believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it! My son and I have never done it, and we have a clear conscience. However, we will not swear."

Ji Jun turned to look at Ji Min, and saw her resolute attitude, although her expression was a little sad, but not so sad.Suddenly, she felt very comfortable, and she felt that Nie'er had really grown up.

If it was in the past, I am afraid that Jindou'er would be wronged.

Ji Yun thought for a while and said,

"Sister Baojiang, although I can swear, but I don't think it's worth it for such an old woman! Sister Baojiang, go out and tell everyone, you said that I, Ji Jun, called the wife of the eldest son, Mrs. Wang, a muddled old woman. Talking nonsense, she is full of lies, she is sanctimonious!"

Ji Yun originally wanted to say that Wang's death would not be good, but she thought that she was Li Mi and Li Tan's mother and Xi'er's aunt after all, so forget it!

Hmph, why should I swear on my own life or reputation?

If I want to swear, I have to curse Mrs. Wang too!
Wang's framed us like this, and I still use myself to enlighten me, am I out of my mind?
Peony is dissatisfied with authenticity,

"Miss Baochao, don't you want to swear? It's easy! I swear by Shaoyao, if our lady speaks ill of you, I will not be able to find a pillow when I sleep, or chopsticks when I eat! I won't be able to pick up money when I go out! right?"

What can I do!

Ji Jun was very gloating, he couldn't find a pillow, and he still had clothes to fold!
You can use a spoon without chopsticks!If it doesn’t work, just grab it with your hands!
If you don't pay attention, you can earn jade bracelets, silver coins, and even pick up silver!
Bao Jiang was taken aback by Ji Jun and Ji Min's words, she did not expect such a reaction from them at all.

Bao Jiang thought in her heart that she would gain something from coming to Dangui Garden.

Someone told her that if she cried to the sisters of the Ji family, in order to prove their innocence, the two sisters would go to Mrs. Shizi to argue.

Either Mrs. Li Guogong Shizi will feel guilty, and then help you arrange a good marriage to make up for you.

If it doesn't work, it will be to justify your name.

At least the Ji family sisters will help you more or less in order to calm things down.

Therefore, Baojiang came to Dangui Garden with the careful thought of "if you don't come, you won't come for nothing, and if you come, you won't come for nothing".

Ji Min's complexion is a little better now, she said seriously,

"Sister Baojiang, don't take yourself too seriously. We are always busy and don't have time to think about framing you or talking bad about you."

After a short pause, Ji Min said again,
"We have no grievances or grudges on weekdays. Although I know you don't like our sisters, at least we don't have direct evidence that your sister Baojiang once harmed us like Su Jin did, but it doesn't mean that We must sympathize with you, help you, and satisfy you!"

Ji Jun nodded silently, these words are really good, it is your fate that your Baojiang is not selected, and it is also your fate that you meet Wang Shi!

We have no responsibility and obligation to pay for your failure and Wang's nonsense!
Ji Min continued,
"Sister Baochao, it is understandable that you wholeheartedly want to run for the election to become the princess. People want to go to high places, and water flows to low places. Now you are not favored by my aunt and other ladies, so you have lost the election." Concubine, you are in a bad mood now, we understand, but please don't go too far. No one stipulates that you, Hong Baojiang, must be a concubine and must be selected as concubine! We have no reason to pay attention to you and frame you! Similarly, we also There is no obligation to help you be happy when you lose the election and when you are unhappy. You are not worthy of us!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ji Min's lips, like an apricot blossom quietly blooming in spring.

In the sparse shadows of apricot blossoms, play the flute until dawn!
It blooms quietly, without publicity or showing off, with the breeze blowing on the face and the light rain concentrating the fragrance!
