Chapter 140 The Concubine's Invitation 4
When the draft was mentioned, Mrs. Su looked at her daughter, "I heard that this draft is also going to be given away from my family."

"It's okay, there are too many beautiful girls in the world. It's strange that their family didn't send in a suitable daughter." Could the family be able to watch the branch they were expelled become more and more prosperous?Always have to press, what is the fastest shortcut?
Naturally it is the draft!

It was fine before she entered the palace, but now that she has entered the palace and has been favored again, her father and brother have a good future, which naturally reminds others of the convenience and great success of this road.

Si Jin thought about it very much. It's normal to be drafted.But the Su family was very worried. Madam Su looked at her daughter, feeling very melancholy in her heart, and said with a sigh: "Then there will be more people in the palace, so you can think about it. Our family doesn't expect our daughter to risk her life for the family. For the future, I just hope that you are safe and sound."

This is really a real mother, and Si Jin was also a little moved. Seeing Mrs. Su's expression became a little more friendly than before, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I know it all." Can a man be tied?If this is the case, what are the empress and concubine worried about?

"The matter of my family..." Mrs. Su looked at her sister-in-law and hesitated to speak.

Si Jin looked at his sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you know which daughter my family sent to the draft?"

"It's the second wife and the third daughter, the name of the boudoir is Rui, and she will be the next year, so the age is just right." Mrs. Su said softly, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard from Mrs. Zhong that she is somewhat similar to you." It is not an exaggeration to say that they are somewhat similar to her cousins, but who knows if it is true or not.

Si Jin thought about the words "just right" and "somewhat similar", and couldn't help but smile knowingly, her sister-in-law is really a wonderful person. A 15-year-old is like a flower. If you come in, you will be pampered. If you are lucky, you may be able to give birth to a prince. It's not like she entered the palace early, but she didn't say it was too late, and her stomach didn't move. I don't know how much People laugh at themselves behind their backs.

She is the most favored in the harem, but her stomach hasn't moved. It's not like she was being pointed at or secretly laughed at.What's more, what path did you take?Isn't it because Yu Guifei has a slight resemblance to the queen that he was successfully retained by the queen? Is this family planning to go this way again?

Really good calculation.

Si Jin was about to be laughed out of anger, and my family's success through the high city wall also disgusted her.

At this moment, Si Jin could well understand how the imperial concubine felt when she saw her.

God is really fair, and lo and behold, retribution is coming.

"The talent show is a big deal, and there are only so many people who can stay in the palace. I have a low status and I have no say in such matters, and I don't have the skills to intervene, so they each rely on their own skills." Si Jin Smiling to reassure the family, "This palace is not that simple, so much work is done, so many people are missing in this palace. People only see the wealth and splendor here, but how can they see the bones here."

When Si Jin said this, Mrs. Su's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked even more worried, but there was nothing they could do except tell Si Jin to be careful.

After talking about this matter, each sighed, Mrs. Su wiped her eyes, and then said: "In addition to the Su family, I heard that the Duke of Wei's government seems to be sending people to participate in the election."

Si Jin was really surprised this time, the queen's family is going to send someone into the palace?

Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Su collected her thoughts, frowned, and said in a low voice, "I support your father's mention and let me tell you a few words. I'm afraid it's the Chu family who feels that it came out of the Chu family's stomach. Children are more reliable."

No wonder the queen teamed up with the noble concubine last time, she regarded herself as an abandoned son.It was true, if the Chu family sent another daughter to the palace, if they could successfully give birth to a child, in the future, a daughter of the Chu family would sit firmly in the queen's position, and a daughter of the Chu family would have a child under her knees. This would be the best of both worlds.

"I've never heard of such a thing before." Si Jin looked at Mrs. Su and asked.

"Hey, this matter... speaking of it, we are afraid of our family when we get married. Your father and brother are very important in front of the imperial court. Based on your father's guess, it is very likely that the Chu family is afraid of raising tigers and will not be able to control us at that time. , this is the first to act first.”

What else do you not understand?

In this way, the matter made sense, Si Jin finally found the crux of the matter, and felt a little relieved.If this is the case, I am not afraid that if I really have a child, the queen will come and snatch it.It's not good news for others, but it's really good news for Si Jin.

Perhaps Mrs. Su still wanted to mention Qin Yuchuan, but Si Jin pretended not to understand and changed the subject, so Mrs. Su gave up.It doesn't matter if I don't mention it, now that my daughter has entered the palace, if I know that what happened back then was a misunderstanding, I'm afraid that if she has any attachment to Qin Yuchuan in her heart, wouldn't it kill her?
Mrs. Su was still a little hesitant at first, but seeing her daughter have changed so much after two years in the palace, she is quite sensible, so she knows that life in this palace is not comfortable, so why bother her, she simply doesn't say a word mentioned.

Seeing that Mrs. Su never mentioned Qin Yuchuan again, Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief. When the time came, she sent the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out. After returning, she sat on the big couch and thought about the draft. A layer of cold sweat broke out.

Next year's draft is Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the imperial concubine's flower viewing banquet. The imperial concubine got up early in the morning to dress up, and Aunt Hua personally served her. All the palace people in the house walked lightly, not daring to wake up the little princess in the child's sleep.

The nine-month-old baby has been babbling all day long and is ready to learn to speak. He has strength in his legs and feet, but he can't stand still.Her parents are outstanding in appearance, and Princess Yuzhen can already see a beautiful face in her eyebrows, so she must be a beautiful embryo when she grows up.

While dressing, the concubine asked about the flower viewing banquet, from the tea cups and wine vessels to be used, to the tea refreshments and fruits, to what kind of incense to burn, and what kind of meal to serve.

"The emperor said when will he come?" Apart from those trivial matters, the imperial concubine was most worried about when the emperor would arrive.

"No matter what, Mao Donglin will go to the Chongming Hall in person after the imperial court, and I can remind you a little bit, so don't worry, my lady."

The imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Concubine Zhang's matter is over, and Xi Wanyi has not made any fuss, and now I have a flower viewing feast in this palace, and the emperor is willing to come, so it can be seen that the anger has dissipated." Yes. Then Xi Wanyi is sensible, since she excused her poor health, and the banquet was held later, it would be a bit of face for her to enjoy a few dishes in the past."

Aunt Hua responded with a smile.She opened her mouth and said, "Now Xi Wanyi must be somewhat dissatisfied with the Empress Empress. If she does this, it will fall into the eyes of the Empress. I'm afraid that Xi Wanyi doesn't understand the rules again."

The imperial concubine also smiled, and she personally wore the pomegranate ruby ​​pendant, raised her eyebrows and looked at herself in the mirror, "Then Xi Wanyi underestimated her before, but she was a little clever, but in this harem, being clever cannot last long. Bengong has endured her for so long, even if the emperor had resentment towards me before, now I am low-key to save face and I should come down the steps."

"Your Majesty can bend and stretch, that's the only way to be confident." Aunt Hua smiled like a flower on her face, fearing that her temper would keep being stubborn, so that's great.

The noble concubine stood up, raised her head and looked outside, "Today is a blessing from God, it is a sunny day."

Appreciating plum blossoms in winter is a very elegant thing. The plum garden specially built in the imperial garden is for the masters in the harem to enjoy the beautiful scenery.The imperial concubine set the banquet in a wide octagonal pavilion built in the plum garden.

This octagonal pavilion is quite ancient, with a thatched roof and wooden pillars as beams. It has not been painted and painted, and it is full of deliberate charm.When the imperial concubine arrived, there were already many people here. Seeing the imperial concubine coming, everyone stood up to greet her.

In the garden of Nuo Da, the twigs are knotted and the red plums are dotted. Against the background, the imperial concubine in the pomegranate red palace dress is more and more swaying and outstanding, with extraordinary grace.

"Basically all the masters in the harem have arrived, only Dou Fangyi, who is recovering from illness, and Qi Ronghua, who is taking care of her, have not arrived." Yun Shang told the master the news she had inquired about, and she was also a little worried. So annoyed and angry.

Si Jin had already guessed that this would happen, Dou Fangyi was as timid as a mouse, Qi Ronghua had some grievances with the imperial concubine, it was predictable that these two would not go.As for herself, Yun Chang said with a smile: "The imperial concubine wished that I would not go. Not only would I not blame me if I didn't go, I'm afraid there will be rewards."

Yun Chang didn't understand it for a while, but it was only a cup of tea. When Aunt Hua personally delivered a few big dishes for the imperial concubine, she looked at her master in surprise, which was too accurate.

It turned out to be an excuse for illness, Si Jin didn't wear big clothes today, she only wore a plain dress with clear lake water, and her face was slightly pale without powder, she really looked a little sick.Aunt Hua expressed the imperial concubine's concern, and Si Jin also expressed her gratitude very solemnly, which made Yun Shang send her out with a smile.

After sending Aunt Hua away, Yun Shang came back and looked at the dishes on the table, still not quite understanding, "Master, how did you guess that the imperial concubine would do this?"

"It's very simple, I'm going, what if the emperor is taken away?" Si Jin chuckled, without moving the food on the table, she just said: "You guys divide these dishes."

Yun Shang naturally disagreed with the master to eat the food delivered from outside, who knows if there will be anything in it.Although it is impossible for the imperial concubine to do such a thing, it is just in case.He called the little palace servants to bring the food down and divided it, and went outside by himself to let Shun Quan go to the imperial dining room to pick up the food.

The meal at noon was very simple, and Si Jin didn't have much appetite. Xiao Qi was afraid of drinking and having fun in the plum garden where the stars were holding the moon. He knew that he would come back when he promised him, but he felt a little uncomfortable.After eating two bites of food, it was freezing outside, so I simply went to take a nap.
