Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 2

"Masters, the time has come."

Xiaoyi and Jinghui walked side by side towards the Imperial Garden. Today is the last stage of the selection.She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Yue Xuan only needs to stand upright.

It was already early summer, and the imperial garden was already full of green trees.Along the way, the flowers are blooming brightly, and there is gurgling water under the corridor of vermilion glazed tiles. Occasionally, a few red petals fall into the water, dotted on the newly stretched water lily leaves, which is indescribably elegant.

"Sister Xiaoyi, look how beautiful the flowers are."

Xiaoyi nodded, and Jing Hui continued to say, "Hey, I don't know who we will be pointed at? I heard that in this draft, several princes are going to marry Fujin, and I don't know how my brothers are doing? "

"Brothers are all nobles, it's not something we can talk about."

Jing Hui shook the handkerchief, and said softly, "Why are you so careful today?"

Xiaoyi felt a sudden shock in her heart. Although 40 years of experience smoothed her edges and corners and made her whole person rigid, she was not like this back then.A noble girl from Man and Mongolia who was pampered since she was a child, she is also skilled in bow and arrow and has a hearty personality.

If Mao rashly becomes law-abiding, it would be bad to attract the attention of the nobles.

"I slept a little late last night..."

"No wonder, in fact, I didn't fall asleep either. I was still dozing off this morning."

The two chatted in low voices, and followed in the team of Eight Banners girls.After passing through a corridor, the field of vision opens up, and this is the place.The nanny who took the lead coughed, and the originally noisy team fell silent in an instant.

Standing up according to the order of the Eight Banners, just like in the previous life, on the left of Xiaoyi is Jing Hui who is also in the Yellow Banner, and behind is Ting Fang who is in the White Banner.Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't have much affection for Siye, for Hui'er, she had to continue to be a Sifujin, so she couldn't make mistakes in this draft.

After the show women's volleyball was finished, the masters of the palace also arrived.Due to the age of the queen mother, this draft is handed over to the queen concubine to host.Among them, the imperial concubine Wen Xi has been lingering on the sick bed since the death of the eleventh daughter of the emperor, and her body cannot be tired.Concubine Hui Hui is also a noble concubine, as the younger sister of Empress Xiao Yiren and Jinshang's cousin, she seems to be the head of the harem at this time, and it has been successfully completed. This year's draft is in charge of her, with the assistance of the fourth concubine.

The chairs had already been set up in the gazebo in the Imperial Garden, with Concubine Hui Hui sitting in the front, and Concubine Si sitting behind.The eunuch sang their names, and the show girls stepped forward one by one.

"Ulanala, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior, Feyangu—"

Xiaoyi squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, stepping on the bottom of the flowerpot and stepped forward, "Slaves greet the imperial concubine, the concubine Hui, the concubine De, the concubine Rong, and the concubine Yi, all blessings, masters." install."

"Get up, raise your head and let me have a look."

Xiaoyi raised her head slightly, her eyes were on the ground and she didn't look forward at all.It's just that the hand gripping the veil still showed her inner unrest.Concubine Huihui, it's great to see you again.De'eriang, stay safe!

Concubine Huihui's eyes lit up, the little Gege in front of her was dressed in a royal blue flag dress, with a simple silk flower on her head, her chubby little face was indescribably cute.

Thinking of what the emperor had said in Chengqian Palace a few days ago, she nodded slightly. This Gege has pure eyes and a very good family background, so the allocation to Yinzhen is just right.It's just that Concubine De is looking at the two enchanting concubines she sent to Elder Brother's house a month ago. After this girl gets married, she is afraid that she will suffer a lot.

"It's really beautiful, sister De, don't you think so?"

"Sister Guifei's vision has always been excellent."

Although De Fei's words were fine, Xiaoyi could hear the smell of gunpowder in it.Concubine Huihui was also a noble lady before she got married, with a generous and cheerful personality. When she first married in her previous life, the two chatted very well.It's just that every time I go to Jingren Palace and then to Yonghe Palace, I will definitely be made things difficult by Concubine De, and as time goes by, she will instinctively alienate her.

It wasn't until she got Honghui later that she slowly figured out the way to do it.Concubine De loves Yinzhen, but it was an eternal shame in her heart to exchange her son for her position back then.And then the imperial concubine was named queen before her death, and the grand funeral deepened this sense of shame, because with her alone, no matter how many sons she had, the concubine would be over.

After selling her son and working hard all her life, she is still not as good as the Tong sisters.Yinzhen's existence reminds her of her Baoyi's background all the time, and the future that can never go any further!Her daughter-in-law's closeness to Jingren Palace is a kind of betrayal in her eyes, and she looks down on her mother-in-law.

Xiaoyi looks at her eyes, nose, nose and heart, which makes Concubine Hui Hui's evaluation of her even higher. She is neither arrogant nor impetuous. Although she is a little nervous, she can also control her emotions. Such a person is most suitable for the royal family.

"The Emperor is here!"

The shrill voice interrupted Xiaoyi's thoughts. Although there are many things to be discussed in the long run, now is not the time to be distracted.Pulling herself together, she took a step to the left and saluted in place.

"Your Majesty is auspicious."

After paying their respects uniformly, the emperor sat on the seat where the imperial concubine had just taken, with imperial concubine Huihui sitting beside him, and the fourth concubine followed and stood behind them.

"Where did you see this?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you will arrive at the Xianghuang Banner."

"Oh, whose family's Gege is below?"

A majestic voice came, and Fushen smiled and said, "The servant is the daughter of Du Tong and the Minister of the Interior, Fei Yanggu, Ulanara."

It turned out that I gave it to Fujin, the fourth prime minister. Looking at this appearance, he was still Zhou Zheng, and the rules were not bad. Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. Seeing a glint of gloom in Concubine De's eyes, she took a fancy to her own niece, but the emperor chose this one. .The other four concubines were even a little nervous, wouldn't the emperor take a liking to her?
"What could it be?"

"Slaves can write."

"Write a few to see."

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were brought up, Xiaoyi picked up the brush, pondered for a while, and started writing.The pen was like a snake, and it was finished in a few breaths, and Li Dequan submitted it.

Kangxi picked it up and took a look. On the white rice paper, there were four big characters "Quiet Zhiyuan" written on it.The small script with a hairpin flower in one hand is well-regulated, and it must be hard work for a girl of the Eight Banners at this age to be able to write like this.

Being able to calm down and practice calligraphy is indeed a prudent one.The fourth child is a little impatient, so it's better to choose a stable and prudent Fujin for him.

"The handwriting is good, leave a sign."

Xiaoyi Xie En withdrew, and heaved a sigh of relief.As a standard eight-banner noble girl, she is very proficient in horseback riding and archery, but she really doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.There is only this calligraphy, because the housekeeper must know how to read the account books, so she has learned to write since she was a child.After 40 years of being a housekeeper, I wrote a few when I was bored, and I slowly practiced it.

In her previous life, her handwriting was terrible, and she was very nervous at this time, so she made a fool of herself in the end.Although she was accused of marriage in the end, it became the topic of conversation for Concubine De in the future.Being taught bad calligraphy by an illiterate mother-in-law, and unable to retaliate, she was very depressed.She has performed well in this life, I don't know what Concubine De will use to lecture her in the future?

After waiting all morning, after everyone had read and selected, the show girls returned to Chuxiu Palace, packed their things and prepared to leave the palace.

In fact, when it comes to tidying up things, I just talk about it, and the rest will naturally be done by the maid.So Xiaoyi sat at the round table with Tingfang and Jinghui, and the three who were also left with a sign were talking.

"You will come to play with me in the future."

Ting Fang laughed out loud, and said to Jing Hui, "I would like to go, but we are about to be accused of getting married, and the family will definitely not allow you to run around."

"Gee, how can you say that?"

"Why are you ashamed, we were meant to get married."

Xiaoyi, who relaxed a little after finishing the course, looked at the two people who were making a fuss, and was gradually infected by them.In retrospect, she was also like this back then, right?

She is Ama's old daughter. She was spoiled and loved since she was a child. She grew up in a honey pot. After the draft, she was even referred to as the noble prince Fujin.It can be said that before her marriage, her life was smooth sailing.It was only later that her mother-in-law's pickiness and her husband's indifference smoothed her temper.She began to learn to figure out everyone's thoughts, listen to what the foster mother said, and hold her face up to be a qualified Fujin.In the end, the death of her son took away all her happiness.

After so many years, she has almost forgotten that when Ama let her ride on her neck, she laughed and said, "The jewel in the palm of our Ulanara Mansion, we must always smile and be content, and no one can bully Ama." daughter."

Xiaoyi, I hope her life will be worry-free!

Then why is she not happy?Now she is clear about everything that will happen in the future, and there is also something that the god gave. Although she doesn't know what it is, it will definitely help her.If Hui'er couldn't be protected well, she might as well stab herself to death with scissors now.

So she doesn't need to be bored with herself. Since she can live again, she must live a better life.Since it is 13 years old, it should look like 13 years old.

After thinking about it, her face relaxed, "If you make trouble again, it will be too late. The peonies in our mansion will bloom in a few days. Do you two sisters want to come and see?"

Ting Fang's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, how many orchids are there in our house, the two younger sisters will come and see?"

The three of them chattered all the way, thinking of countless ways to get together, and talked all the way to the gate of the palace.Xiaoyi looked up, her brother was waiting for her.After Yiyi was reluctant to make an appointment to meet again another day, she boarded the carriage home.
