Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 605

Ye Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you see this too?"

Wang Zhanyue said with a smile: "Princess probably doesn't know about it. There are many fakes of the prince's handwriting circulating among the people; how can a portrait like this be kept private, and the ink and paper are new, so it should be painted now. Who else can do it except the prince. It's just that the princess has spent a lot of trouble for me, which makes Zhanyue really ashamed."

Ye Song said: "You don't have to thank me, just read it, tomorrow is the beauty competition, I can't help you with this."

Ye Song left Biezhuang in the dark, Su Jing was waiting for her at the gate of Biezhuang.The two were sitting in the same carriage, Su Jing held Ye Song's hand tightly and sat next to her, and asked with a smirk, "What, is that Miss Wang fascinated by the emperor? "

Ye Song glanced at him, squinted his eyes and said, "What's none of your business, you seem to care about it?"

"Aren't I also for the emperor's happiness?" Su Jing coughed, rubbed her nose and said, "It seems that I shouldn't care, madam, I was wrong." He seemed to hear the treacherous mocking sound of the washboard at home , He was so witty, fortunately he stopped the topic in time and took the initiative to admit his mistake.No, he must find a way to get rid of that washboard, otherwise it will be a threat to his dominance in the bedroom.

Ye Songwo closed his eyes and meditated in his arms enjoying himself. Seeing that Su Jing hadn't spoken for a while, he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Su Jing said casually: "I was thinking about the washboard"

Ye Song opened his smiling eyes, and said, "Thinking again after you haven't knelt for a few days?"

"I'm just thinking that my knees are hurting a lot recently. Maybe it's due to rheumatism again. I can't kneel. Why don't we give away the washboard made of medicinal soup?"

"Nonsense, how old are you, how can you have rheumatism." Ye Song said.

Su Jing rushed over like a fool, hugged Ye Song and refused to let go, buried her head in the crook of her neck.Ye Song held his head with his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The washboard was not specially used for him to kneel, at most it was to frighten him, when he really knelt, he didn't even have half an hour for Xiaoxiao, Su Jing couldn't bear to part with her.Ye Song said: "Then who do you think should be given to?"

Su Jing regained her spirits immediately, and said with radiance: "Give it to Ah Qing, and let her kneel down to Gui Ji from time to time. My brother-in-law is originally a piece of wood, and he has an indissoluble bond with wood. He will definitely like it very much. You will be very grateful to me, too."

Ye Song said bluntly: "I think so too. Well then, I'll send it to the capital for Ah Qing tomorrow."

The next day was fine weather, a stage was set up in the center of the city, and the talent show officially started.This can be regarded as a major event in the city, and many people came to watch and see their demeanor.

The judges were all respected people from Gusu. Naturally, Su Jing and his wife were the main judges.In fact, there was no need for the two of them to deliberately release water. Wang Zhanyue was full of energy and actively participated in the election. Her talent and aloof attitude not only captured the hearts of the judges, but also amazed the audience in the audience, attracting applause. Naturally Come out on top.

Soon the two quotas were determined, and they were escorted to the capital by Gusu.On the day of entering Beijing, there were two girls, two carriages, and a capable official team.Besides Wang Zhanyue, another girl is also extremely good.

Ye Song personally came to supervise and watched Wang Zhanyue sitting in the sedan chair in good order.When she was about to leave, she suddenly lifted the curtain, looked at Ye Song outside the carriage, and asked, "Is there anything else my princess wants to tell me?"

The bright sunshine made her squint her eyes, and she said, "Is the way others see a person the same as how you see a person?"

Wang Zhanyue replied: "It's not the same."

"Then what's the use of me telling you?" Ye Song asked back.

Wang Zhanyue said: "I understand, thank you, Princess." Then she put down the curtain.

It was the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and beautiful girls sent to Beijing from various counties in Northern Xia gathered, and going to Beijing was very lively.This is what the people in the capital talk about the most after dinner.

Li Ruyi personally handles the drafting, and there are even a large pile of picture scrolls sent to the palace. First of all, she looks at the list, provenance and family background of the beautiful women from all over the country. .Those picture scrolls are also the same, and it is even difficult to distinguish beauty from ugliness after looking at them for a long time.

It was still Ruixiang who had a better look, and said to Li Ruyi: "My lady, I heard that Gusu also sent two beautiful girls, and they all came according to the quota set by the previous lady. Gusu is the fiefdom of the virtuous prince. He is in charge, and Ye Song is Princess Xian, which is equivalent to Ye Song's responsibility. Why don't you take a look first, and see how beautiful the two beautiful girls Ye Song selected?"

Li Ruyi rubbed the center of her brows, and said: "There are too many things recently, if you don't remind me, I'm afraid I will forget it too. That's fine, first show me the portrait of Gusu Xiunu."

"Yes."

"Also." Li Ruyi looked at Ruixiang, who was waiting for orders with her head bowed. "In the future, don't call Ye Song Ye Song directly by her name. She is also Princess Xian now. It's okay in private, Ruuo told the emperor to listen. , Punish you is not enough, pay attention."

Ruixiang has always had a deep prejudice against Ye Song.It’s just that what Li Ruyi said was right. Even if she was dissatisfied with Ye Song, Ye Song was far away in Gusu and became a virtuous concubine. In this harem, Li Ruyi was still in charge. If there is no cover, it is not good for people to catch the handle.So he replied: "Yes, the servant has recorded it."

Ruixiang selected two beautiful girls from Gusu among the many scrolls, and unfolded them for Li Ruyi to see.

She didn't notice anything about the first picture, and commented: "It's similar to the ones I saw earlier."

Ruixiang unfolded the second picture for her, but Li Ruyi looked at it but didn't speak for a long time.Ruixiang then asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"

Li Ruyi shook her head and said: "There is nothing to be seen in the portrait, it is just a beautiful girl selected by Princess Xian, I don't know what is different about her."

Ruixiang said: "What's so difficult about this, now all the show girls live in the Chuxiu Palace, and the maids in the palace are responsible for adjusting the etiquette in the palace every day, if the empress wants to see it with her own eyes, she can go to the Chuxiu Palace in the afternoon Just look at it. Let’s take a look in advance, so that the empress can have a bottom line in her heart."

Li Ruyi smiled when she heard this, and said, "You are the only one who is thoughtful."

Rui Xiang said: "In the harem, turbulence and turmoil are unavoidable throughout the dynasties. The empress only cares for the emperor, and sometimes she should think more about herself. The beautiful girls selected should be more docile and obedient, so that they can listen to the empress's teachings."

Li Ruyi said: "The draft is for the emperor, not for me. What's the use of being meek and obedient? There are quite a few meek and obedient people in the palace. Will the emperor like it?"

"However. Once someone gets favored in the future and refuses to obey the control of the empress, and completely forgets the heart of the empress that day, wouldn't it be the same as attracting a white-eyed wolf in? And if this is the case, one day the empress will have the status of the empress."

"It's almost noon." Li Ruyi looked at the sky outside and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's pass on the meal."

Although Ruixiang has a lot to say, today is not the same as it was then, there is no more fighting between Ye Song and Li Ruyi, and Li Ruyi is fully capable of starting over from scratch.All the suffering and grievances she suffered in the past can be repaid. As long as she is willing to work hard, she will be crowned as the mother of the harem in the future, which can be regarded as the last consolation for the Li family.

But she couldn't talk about it, because Li Ruyi didn't have the heart to fight for it anymore.Because Li Ruyi put all her heart and soul on Su Ruoqing, even though Su Ruoqing harmed her family, she still thought of Su Ruoqing in everything.

When Ruixiang went to pass the meal, the more she thought about it, the more she felt worthless for her mother.

Li Ruyi suddenly said from behind: "Do you think I'm not up to date?"

Rui Xiang turned her head back and replied: "Don't dare, this servant is just wronged for your empress."

Li Ruyi said: "What should be mine is mine. There was nothing here that should be mine, but now I have gained a lot, too? Reckless and reckless all the way forward will inevitably run into walls everywhere. Only by retreating can we choose Another better way out. The whole world belongs to the emperor, not to mention what kind of beautiful girl I will choose for him, only for his own good is for my own good."

Ruixiang is a sensible person, she felt a little confused when she heard it, and said: "Your maidservant knows, this maidservant is going to pass the meal to the empress."

After lunch, Li Ruyi took a nap on the couch in the morning, the sunlight outside made people feel lazy.When the sun was not so glaring in the afternoon, she got up and took Ruixiang to Chuxiu Palace for a walk.

When I went there, the beautiful women of Chuxiu Palace were standing in the open square, wearing all palace skirts, standing straight and neatly, with a plate on their heads, trying to maintain a dignified figure and figure, not letting the plate drop down.

Seen from a distance, the autumn wind blows the palace skirts of those beautiful women, which is a very beautiful scenery.

Li Ruyi stood on the edge of the high place and watched for a while.But what was strange was that the nun who was in charge of teaching the show girls stood silently beside her, and another person was walking among the show girls, dressed luxuriously and with a beautiful face.

Ruixiang said, "It's Empress Xi."

At the right time, I could see clearly from a high place. When the Concubine Xi passed by a beautiful girl nearby, she suddenly tripped her with her foot, causing the beautiful girl to lose her balance and the plate on her head fell. When she got down, Xiu Nu hurriedly stretched out her hands to help her, her body also swayed to the side, and bumped into the Xiu Nu next to her, one by one hurting the other, five or six dishes on Xiu Nu's heads fell off and broke into pieces Two of them were caught, and Xiu Nu caught the other ones in time and held them in her hands.

The maidservants next to Concubine Xi were furious, accusing them of offending her, and those beautiful girls knelt down and dared not say a word.Seeing this, the mother in the palace hastily stepped forward and said a few good words, begging for mercy for the show girls both openly and secretly.It is the nun's duty to teach Xiunu, but if there are a few less, she will be punished.
