Spring in Shengjing comes later than in Beijing.

It's already March, and Can Xue still refuses to give up the last territory. It thaws, thaws and freezes again, the ground is always gray and white, and the cold air crawls along the uppers of the shoes and up the legs.

A few emerald leaves emerge timidly from the treetops. The branches are half fresh and half rotten. The weather turns warm and cold.

Jilan and Taoruo's natal family's third official protector's mansion suddenly came to the palace's mother.The magnificent carriage and gorgeous costumes aroused a lot of discussion among the neighbors.

"Look at this, their family is about to give birth to a mistress!"

"It's really a blessing. But I remember, didn't the little girl of his family go to the capital to enter the palace long ago?"

"Without the small one, don't we still have the big one?"

"Are you not talking about being a widow? Can you still enter the palace?"

"The family is beautiful, so what are widows afraid of? The emperor likes it, so he can still be the master. Don't you remember Concubine Chen?"

"It's true, the old man is wise."

Ji Lan's head-in-law's family sent two servants over to inquire about the news. After hearing these words, they didn't dare to stir up trouble, so they hurried home.

When they left, they also took away Ji Lan's last chance.

"I said, are you dumb or deaf, squeak!"

Sanguanbao was furious, pointing to Jilan's nose and questioning him, he almost hit him.

Wu Yashi was afraid that her husband's impatience would ruin Ji Lan's appearance if he used the real chapter, and it would be all over, so he hurriedly took the whip from his hand.

"Lan'er, you should talk anyway so that you, Ama, know what's going on. Why don't you want to enter the palace? Someone sent by the empress dowager is waiting in the upper room! This is a good fortune that no one else can ask for. , In order to select you, the empress dowager even called the head of the House of Internal Affairs to intercede. You have to go today, and you have to go if you don’t. Good boy, listen to Er Nie’s advice and put on new clothes .”

Ji Lan huddled in the innermost corner of the kang, far away from the blue silk court lady's costume, as if it would bite.

"I won't go, the palace is not a place for me to go. If I go, it will make people laugh and wishful thinking. Even if the flowers are gone, they still want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix."

"My son, you are already a phoenix. Could it be that the empress dowager has put in so much effort to ask you to go in to fetch water and make tea? You are the one who asked you to go in and be the master!"

"The emperor doesn't like me, so I won't go."

"how do you know……"

Before Wu Ya could say a word, he suddenly saw someone at the door, so he stopped talking.

It turned out that the two nuns from the palace were really impatient, so they went to Ji Lan's boudoir to see what was going on.

They also heard the conversation just now.

The methods used in the palace are far superior to the intimidation of Sanguanbao and the coaxing of Wu Yashi.

They let Sanguanbao and his wife kneel down first.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did the selection of concubines in the palace be so sloppy? The eldest daughter of your family is so handsome that she can go to bed directly? Confused bastard!"

Wu Yashi heard the implication, and secretly tugged on her husband's sleeve to ask him to cooperate.

"Yes, the slave was so happy that he was dizzy, talking nonsense. It should be hit, it should be hit!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped his mouth from left to right, twenty or thirty times in a row.

"Your family's mystery in Shengjing was discovered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the rules, the daughter of Shangsanqi Baoyi's family must first go to the palace as a maid to serve the master for a few years before returning home to marry. You rely on Do you really think that the House of Internal Affairs doesn’t know if you pretend that you are the leader of Baoyi with a yellow flag, falsely report that your two daughters have already served in the Shengjing Palace, and even betrothed the eldest daughter to others?”

Ji Lan also knew about this matter.

The deceased husband had known her since childhood, and they were in love with each other. He couldn't wait for so many years, and came to ask for help time and time again.As soon as Ama's heart softened, she went out of the House of Internal Affairs and asked her to stay with her younger sister as companions. After staying in the Shengjing Palace for about half a year, she found an excuse to let her go and secretly married her.

Involuntarily, she listened to these words.

"Now you are just asking your daughters to make up for their maid errands. Do you still dare to make them concubines? If it weren't for Mother Guo's sympathy in front of the empress dowager, the old man who has been around for decades, the master knows that your daughter is Yuan." Is it Bian? Why don’t you hurry up and pack up your things and go with us? Let’s go on and on, and we will return to the palace and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a good discussion, get your boss out of the way, and then convict him of other crimes!”

Ji Lan was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the maid's clothes, rolled off the kang, and kowtowed to apologize.

"Mothers, please don't blame Ama. It's the slave who made a mistake, and the slave will change clothes now!"

Seeing this, Sanguanbao avoided the door, the two nuns sat on the only two chairs in the room, and Wu Yashi stood up, giving Jilan a hand.

Ji Lan's plump and fair body left an indelible impression on the two of them.

That's right, this trip was not in vain.

Her younger sister's skin is delicate enough, the emperor can't put it down, he only thinks it should be thinner, but the elder sister is just right.

After changing clothes, he packed up his luggage again, and folded out a small stone-blue Lu silk package, which Ji Lan hugged tightly in his arms.

The nuns checked it according to the rules, and found that there were only a few half-worn clothes inside, without any patterns, either gray or white.

"You don't need to wear it. You are not allowed to dress so plainly in the palace. You can't do this even if you know you were married before."

"Yes."

With a shake, a very exquisitely embroidered purse fell out. The mother held it in her hand and opened it to see, it turned out that inside was a concentric knot made of hair.

"You are asked to enter the palace to do business, not to observe festivals. What are you doing with this? Well, there is everything in the palace, so you don't need to bring luggage, so just go."

Ji Lan didn't dare to argue, so she could only solemnly tuck the purse in Wu Yashi's hand, then carefully carried the few hairpins and a pair of bracelets given to her by her deceased husband, and lowered her head all the way to the carriage outside the gate.

Wu Yashi was afraid that she would notice something was wrong on the road, and would start a quarrel, thinking hard for a long time, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Your sister has always been careless. The master is spoiled and has a big temper. You must take care of her more after you enter the palace. You know this girl at home. She is spoiled and spoiled. She doesn't hold the horizontal needle and the vertical thread. You are greedy, I can't sleep all night, I am afraid that she will cause trouble. I feel a little relieved that you can go and be with her. "

Ji Lan hastily agreed, telling her aunt not to worry.

"If there is any errand, I will promise it for her. Ernie and Ama need to take care of their health. When we leave the palace, we will go home and pay respects. I don't want to marry again. With my embroidery skills, I guess I can get married every month." Bring in three or five taels of silver to subsidize the family."

Hearing Ji Lan's sincere words, Wu Ya could not bear it. Just as he was about to tell the truth, the carriage ran away quickly.

The third official was relieved but he had a big concern, so he hummed a few lines of drama with joy, and asked his wife to add food in the evening, and he wanted to drink two cups.

"Master, I don't know if Lan'er can live well."

"The hair is long but the knowledge is short. Who else in this world is better than the emperor? The ancestral grave of our family is smoking, and there are two masters and ladies! Who has such a decent family. Hurry up and cook, I want to eat stewed beef !"
