Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 65
Zhang Yuqing was surprised, what about Master Kude?He's not one of this group of chubby, unproductive, bluffing monks.

"Are you also looking forward to tomorrow? Looking forward to being selected as the princess? Don't dream!" Zhang Yuying said sharply, "Master Kude will not choose you! I have talked with them, it is not the Taiwei's family. The third girl is the daughter of the prime minister’s family, and there are several honorable families who also have girls of the right age! Fengming’s daughter is probably from these few families! We are all here to serve as foils!”

Zhang Yuqing asked: "What is the origin of that Master Kude? Why did he choose Fengming's daughter?"

"Even Master Kude doesn't know, he really came from the countryside!" Zhang Yuying snorted, "Master Kude is an eminent monk with powerful mana, he travels all over the world, and rarely returns to Beijing. The previous concubine was his senior brother Xuande The master selected, and the officials in the capital prayed for blessings and worshiped Buddha, but they died in the end, without even a child. The emperor and prince were very angry, saying that Master Xuande was inaccurate in the selection, and that he chose a man with poor fortune and low life. It's not a daughter of Fengming who has auspiciousness at all. This time, I spent a lot of effort to invite Master Kude who has traveled all over the world, and Master Kude must choose a real daughter of Fengming!"

Zhang Yuying said seriously: "I'm telling you this to warn you, don't have any illusions that you shouldn't have! Tomorrow, you must be cautious, and you must not make mistakes. If you offend the nobleman, it is a serious crime to behead!"

"Got it." Zhang Yuqing said.

At dawn on the second day, Zhang Yuqing was awakened by knocking on the door outside.An old lady in the palace with a straight face told Zhang Yuying and Zhang Yuqing not to put makeup on their faces, not to wear fancy clothes, and to bow their heads quietly in front of the master and nobles, and then went out.

After a simple wash, the two went out, and walked towards the Daxiong Hall of Huangjue Temple after a group of ladies.

The main hall was full of young girls of the right age, at least a hundred of them. Under the watchful eyes of a few serious palace maids, every girl lowered her head, not daring to make a sound, and there was complete silence.

The royal relatives also came.

Lu Wei followed Princess Duanshu and stood at the upper left of the hall, next to Mrs. Zheng Guogong and Jin Yongkang.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous, but in the public, Jin Yongkang wanted to fight Lu Wei again, he had to worry about the occasion, and stared at Lu Wei resentfully.

Lu Wei watched Jin Yongkang from the beginning to the end, and Jin Yongkang was even more furious.

The relationship between Princess Duanshu and Mrs. Zheng Guogong was quite harmonious on the surface, and the two greeted each other with a smile.

"Look at this group of girls, they are all in good spirits!" Zheng Guogong said with a smile, "I don't know which girl is so lucky to be the daughter of Feng Ming. The princess has practiced Buddhism for so many years, so she must be able to see it too?"

Princess Duanshu smiled and said: "Madam Jin, if I can see who has the fate of the phoenix, I should be the host of Huangjue Temple!"

Mrs. Zheng Guogong whispered in Princess Duanshu's ear: "I heard that your daughter-in-law who has never been married has also come."

"They are all acting on the orders of the emperor, just like you and me." Princess Duanshu said.

Mrs. Zheng Guogong squeezed her handkerchief and smiled, "But don't worry, your daughter-in-law's natal father is only a seventh-rank sesame official, and the daughter of Fengming must not be able to get her turn! After the selection of concubines is completed, you can continue to hire Mr. Lu! "

Princess Duanshu didn't change her face, "I accept your good words."

After choosing the concubine, she went to Zhang's house to retire.

Could her own son not understand?If it weren't for the Zhang family's behavior to the point that Lu Wei could not tolerate, Lu Wei would not have resolutely proposed to withdraw from the marriage.

"Heh!" Mrs. Zheng Guogong sneered, she was just a former princess who had a face thanks to the emperor's favor, and she was not a real relative of the emperor, yet she dared to beat her son!Cleaned them up sooner or later!
A group of royal relatives and relatives appeared to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they had their own thoughts. They waited in the hall together with the girl who came to choose the concubine.

It wasn't until the sun passed the horizon and rose high that there was a sound outside, and a eunuch sang, "The Emperor, Queen and His Royal Highness have arrived."

The mother in the palace directed the girls to kneel and kowtow, shouting long live and thousand live.

Zhang Yuqing knelt down along with the others, got up after kowtowing.Zhang Zuo was a young chastity official, she and Zhang Yuying were already at the back of the queue, and they were not at all conspicuous among the crowd.

A row of tall incense thicker than a human arm was lit outside the hall. Thousands of monks sat cross-legged in the open space, singing Buddhist scriptures and knocking wooden fish together. The scene was very grand.

Several great monks in cassocks and prayer beads followed the emperor and prince into the hall.

The emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe had a very dignified voice, and asked with displeasure, "Where is Kude?"

"Junior Brother Poor Monk will be here soon, right away!" the leading monk said hurriedly with a round face, and asked the following monks to hurry up.

Not long after, an old man wearing a tattered burlap monk robe sat on a futon and was carried into the main hall by several young monks.

The old man's face was full of wind and frost, his hair had grown more than an inch and was gray, and the monk's robe on his body was also patched a lot. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Zhang Yuqing only glanced at it, then quickly lowered her head.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the poor monk is here!" The leading fat monk breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xuande, he is your junior brother Kude?" The emperor was a little unbelievable, after all, Kude and Xuande were too different in appearance.Like Kude, there are people who say they are beggars.

"Exactly!" Xuande said bravely, "The poor monk and junior brother practice the way of asceticism, which is different from ordinary monks, and their magic power is stronger!"

The emperor's eyeballs were swollen, and he had obviously been indulging in drinking and sex all year round. His body had been hollowed out, and he said, "Let him see who is Fengming's daughter."

Xuande hurried to Kude and whispered a few words in Kude's ear.

After a long time, Kude opened his eyes, and several young monks carried him and walked slowly in front of the ladies.

Everyone became nervous, and they didn't dare to show their air, especially the girls from the legendary wealthy family, they were all cautious, and no one knew who would get it until the last moment.

Seeing that Kude had watched all the girls, but he didn't say a word, neither who was Fengming's daughter, nor who was not, many people became agitated and whispered to each other.

At this time, Kude came to Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yuying, and motioned for the little novice who was carrying him to stop.

Lu Wei and a group of royal relatives stood on the high platform of the main hall, seeing clearly, their eyes widened suddenly.

"Girls, raise your heads." Kude spoke, speaking the first words after arriving at the scene.

The audience became agitated, and no one expected that Kude would actually speak to the girl from the Qipin Zhima official family.

Mrs. Zheng Guogong even wrote her astonishment on her face.

Zhang Yuying was so excited that her mind went blank, she mechanically raised her head.

Zhang Yuqing also raised her head, and was surprised to find that on Kude's weathered and aged face, there was a pair of bright eyes shining with wisdom.

Kude looked down at Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yuying, put his hands together, closed his eyes again, and said, "The auspicious person is among these two."

The crowd erupted into commotion. No one expected that the final choice of concubine would be that the Zhang family, who was about to fall to the bottom, won the peach of Feng Ming's daughter!

Xuande trotted over, and shouted in shock: "Look again, don't be mistaken!" These two women stood at the end of the line, and their family backgrounds were not well-known, how could they be the daughters of Fengming?
"Monks don't tell lies." Kude said in a deep voice.

The emperor and prince also hurried over.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Zhang Yuying and Zhang Yuqing there.

The bright yellow clothes of the emperor and the crown prince had already caught her eyes.

Zhang Yuqing's hands and feet were cold, and in the blink of an eye, she had already prepared for the worst.

"Tell me clearly, which one is it!" Xuande asked again.

Ku De said indifferently: "The poor monk's mana is low, you can only tell that the one with great luck is among the two, but you can't tell which one it is."

Xuande became anxious, and shouted in Kude's ear: "Then you have to choose one! You can't both be the daughter of Fengming!"

"There is only one person with great luck." Kude still closed his eyes.

Xuande asked again: "Which one is it? The emperor and His Royal Highness are waiting for the result!"

"Naturally, the most talented one is the most blessed, and can bring auspiciousness to Great Xia." Kude said.

Zhang Yuying's heart almost jumped out of her chest, her hands and feet were trembling, her face was flushed, and she stammered badly, "I, I, I have talent! She, she..." Zhang Yuying pointed to Zhang Yuqing next to her, "She is from the countryside. ,illiterate!"

Princess Duanshu almost laughed out of breath. Looking at Zhang Yuying's unworthy appearance, she looked like a poor man desperately holding on to a rich nest, and he understood why Lu Wei had mentioned to her several times that the two were incompatible.

Her son's words are tactful enough, where is it inappropriate, he clearly doesn't like Zhang Yuying's virtue!
Xuande felt unwilling, so many noble ladies in front of him were not the daughters of Fengming, how could he explain to those dignitaries?He collected so much money from the powerful!

"Look again!" Xuande said in Kude's ear, very anxious, "What if I misread it?"

Kude stopped talking to Xuande, put his hands together, and sang "Amitabha".

The emperor and the crown prince looked at Zhang Yuying.

The thrilling and turbulent feeling in Zhang Yuqing's heart receded a little, she took a step back quietly, stood among the crowd, looked up at the emperor and the prince, and then quickly lowered her head.

"This is Fengming's daughter?" The prince was a little surprised that Fengming's daughter looks good.

The emperor glanced at Zhang Yuying casually, nodded and said, "Ku De personally identified it, there is no mistake."

"Whose girl are you from? What's your name?" the prince asked with a smile behind his back.

The crown prince was only just [-] years old, and with his high position and weight, he was a man in the prime of life and full of charm. Zhang Yuying's pretty face flushed, and it took her a long time to find her voice, and said, "I am a girl from the Zhang family, and my father is Zhang Zuozhen. ..."

Zhang Yuying was introducing herself when she suddenly realized that her father was only a seventh-rank official and could not get on the stage, so she hurriedly said, "My grandfather is a political governor..."

The emperor frowned, and asked suspiciously: "I seem to remember that the governor who participated in politics is not surnamed Zhang."
