I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 181 Night Encounter
A group of people watched the prince go away, then got up and continued to walk along the lane to Shaohua Palace.

After this chance encounter, the expressions on the faces of the little ladies all changed.

Most of the young ladies have never seen the prince. Originally, they entered the palace only for the glory of the family. Now that the prince is young and handsome, they feel more hopeful in their hearts.

There were also some little ladies who saw the prince's solemnity and indifference, and felt a little disappointed in their hearts.

Zheng Hui poked Huajiao's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, tell me, is it true that His Highness the Crown Prince dislikes women as rumored?"

Hua Jiao remembered what Yu Taiqing said when he went crazy that day, he said that the prince only had political affairs in his mind.

She glanced at Zheng Hui and saw her blinking with interest.

But Hua Jiao wasn't interested in the Prince's affairs, and he didn't want to talk to Zheng Hui, so he said calmly, "How do I know? If you want to know, you might as well ask someone else."

Zheng Hui shook his head in disappointment, so he had no choice but to turn to talk to Song Yuan on the other side.

Song Yuan took Zheng Hui's arm affectionately and whispered something to her.

Back at Shaohua Palace, Huajiao walked around whenever he had free time, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Yao's origin.

Unexpectedly, Yao didn't inquire much about the affairs in charge, but heard a lot of other things instead.

The first one is about Zheng Hui, saying that she has the most perfect figure, slender and graceful. During the second selection, the maids who measured her body were all stunned.

The second one is about Cui Lanshu, saying that she may be selected as the princess.The reason is that just now when all of them met Prince Li Huan in the lane, the sharp-eyed little lady saw Li Huan's eyes fixed on Cui Lanshu's face for a moment.

The third one is about Song Yuan, saying that she is also a popular candidate for the crown princess.Hua Jiao and Song Yuan share the same room for a few days, and only then do they know that Song Yuan's father is actually Song Lian, Minister of the Ministry of War.

It's no wonder that Song Yuan vowed on that day that he would definitely be selected this time, and that it is really possible for someone who dares to be a lover to become a princess.

……

Huajiao only found out that Yao was in charge of the West Sixth Office, the maid's servant's house on the west side of the palace.

Now that we have a place to live, Huajiao decided to go to the West Sixth Institute at night to take a look.

After finishing the evening meal, Zheng Hui came to Huajiao to chat with Song Yuan.

The little lady who used to share the room with her hadn't passed the second choice and had already left the palace. Now she lives alone in the same room, very boring.

Hua Jiao was leaning in front of the couch, glanced at Zheng Hui who was smiling like a flower, and then at Song Yuan who was talking happily with her, at this moment, her heart suddenly became like a mirror.

Maybe Zheng Hui didn't come to look for her, but to get close to Song Yuan.

Hua Jiao smiled, and suddenly said: "Third sister, when I was in the second election today, I heard Mr. Yao and the court ladies talking about you. They said that you are the most likely to be the crown princess in terms of appearance and posture."

Zheng Hui's expression froze, and he said with a smile: "Look at what Second Sister said, the Crown Princess must not only have an outstanding appearance, but also be virtuous and capable. How could I be selected."

Zheng Hui paused, and then said: "I heard that Mrs. Cui of the Yushi doctor's family is virtuous and polite, and she is good at painting. Moreover, His Royal Highness seems to like her very much."

Hua Jiao knew that she was talking about Cui Lanshu.

This little lady from her uncle's family is very interesting.

A cold smile rose from the corner of Huajiao's lips, glanced at Song Yuan, and said, "Mrs. Song, don't listen to the nonsense of the third sister. Who knows what His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking. Besides, the candidate for the Crown Princess is not The crown prince is the only one who decides, and the last choice, the queen mother must also return to the palace to be the master, and the wise concubine of the Ronghua Palace will be the master, and finally the emperor will decide."

Song Yuan snorted and nodded.

Zheng Hui heard Huajiao mentioned Concubine Xian, and suddenly said: "Second Sister, when you mentioned Concubine Xian, I remembered something. I heard that Yao was in charge of Ronghua Palace before. In this way, the choice of Concubine Xian The imperial concubine is the master who has done half of it."

Hua Jiao didn't expect to hear about Yao's background from Zheng Hui.

She originally thought that the head of Yao was just a female official, and she must be taking orders from others, but she didn't expect that it was actually a concubine Xian.

"How did you know about this?" Hua Jiao frowned and asked.

Although this is not such a confidential matter, how could she, a young lady who entered the palace to choose a concubine, inquire about a person in charge?
Zheng Hui said with a smile: "I heard what the servants said, what's the matter? I also know that the head of Ning is a celebrity in front of the empress dowager."

She couldn't find fault with what she said.

After Zheng Hui left, Hua Jiao said to Song Yuan: "Ms. Song, I see that you and Zheng Hui have gotten very close these few days. I advise you to stay away from her in the future."

Song Yuan glanced at Huajiao in surprise: "I think Mrs. Zheng is quite a nice person."

Hua Jiao glanced at Song Yuan melancholy.

Zheng Hui's approach to Song Yuan was obviously purposeful.

*
Dark as ink.

The entire imperial city is immersed in the vast night fog. During the day, the gorgeous and elegant cornices and curved railings, and the red walls of the houses are shrouded in the night fog, which seems real and unreal.

Huajiao held a ram's horn lantern, dressed in the clothes of a servant, and walked quickly along the corridor.

Ronghua Palace is closer to Shaohua Palace than the female official's residence, so Huajiao decides to go to Ronghua Palace first.If the bracelet doesn't respond near Ronghua Palace, it won't be too late for her to go to the female official's place.

She had already figured out the route, and went north along the lane, then turned right and passed Yi'anmen to Ronghua Palace.

A cold moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the darkness that encloses the road.

The light from the shofar wind lamp was faint, only illuminating a small piece of bluestone road under his feet.

As soon as he left Yi'anmen, two Tianshu Sifu sorcerers in blue shirts walked towards him.

"Which palace are you a servant, the palace has already released the key, why are you still walking around?" A demon subduing master called Huajiao and asked in a cold voice.

Hua Jiao leaned over to salute calmly, raised the paper bag in his hand, and said, "Your servant is the servant of Ronghua Palace. Sister Xiaocui has a headache, so I asked me to go to the imperial pharmacy to get some medicine."

She didn't dare to say that Concubine Xian was ill, because the master in the palace was a little sick, no one would know about it, and it would be troublesome if it was exposed by these two demon subduing masters.

She said the name of a court lady indiscriminately, thinking that there are so many court ladies in Ronghua Palace, who would know the name of each court lady.

As expected, the two of them had no doubts, turned on the lamp to illuminate the face of the corner of the painting, and said with a straight face: "From now on, don't walk around at night, Lan'an City is not peaceful these days."

Hua Jiao nodded repeatedly, and was about to salute and leave.

Another demon subduing master suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

He stepped forward to take the medicine bag in Hua Jiao's hand, weighed it and said, "Why is a big bag of medicine so light?"

As he said that, he wanted to unpack the paper bag for inspection.

Hua Jiao was a little flustered, because there was no medicine in the paper bag, and she picked up some branches and leaves at random to wrap it up, and it must not be opened.

She was about to step forward to stop her, when a cold and indifferent voice suddenly came from behind.

"What happened?"
