Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 107

Zhou Chengyan was originally worried that she was still thinking about what Zhou Xuan planned last time, but he was relieved to see her say that.

No, he was a little troubled again.

He felt that his daughter didn't understand what the empress meant, so he said, "The empress took advantage of her birthday to recruit so many girls into the palace, not because she wanted to see these young girls, but because she wanted to This opportunity is for Prince Xiang to choose a concubine."

Yijia nodded, and she also guessed the meaning.

King Xiang has not yet married, and he is the only one among the grown-up princes.

Zhou Chengyan saw that she didn't speak, so he could only continue: "But you think that father's official position, and our family's status in Beijing, let alone a concubine, even a side concubine, you may not be qualified."

Only then did Yijia understand what her father meant.

She couldn't help laughing and said: "Father, you think highly of me. I'm only 12 years old. How could King Xiang and the empress look at me? Don't worry, I'm on the empress's recruitment list this time, and I'm also I'm very puzzled, but after thinking about it these two days, I think it's probably what Princess Cheng Min said. She probably just wanted me to see the world, there is absolutely no other possibility, father, don't worry."

Zhou Chengyan asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"Really!" Yijia said.

It's a lie, Liang Mingzhi and King Xiang are so good friends, he probably wouldn't let King Xiang have a chance.

Moreover, King Xiang is a prince, so how could he fall in love with a dry little girl who has never seen what kind of woman he has never seen before?

That's... Only Liang Mingzhi can take a fancy to it.

Thinking of Liang Mingzhi, Yijia couldn't help but smile softly.

After hearing what his daughter said, Zhou Chengyan also felt that he was a bit too much of an underdog.However, the daughter is so good-looking, let alone King Xiang, I am afraid that in two years, any man will like it.

Two days later it happened to be the twelfth of September, the Empress's birthday.Little Song's family and Ran's family, including Mrs. Zhou, are not qualified to enter the palace to see them, so the two girls of the Zhou family got into a carriage under the solemn order of Mrs. Zhou.

Yijia only brought Xuezhu, while Zhou Yihan brought an unfamiliar girl.But when they reached the gate of the palace, these girls would naturally not be able to enter, that is to say, they would have to walk along the road with them for a while.

Zhou Yihan was still afraid of Xuezhu, got into the carriage and sat at the corner, except for giving Yijia a hard look at first, she didn't say anything along the way.

At the gate of the palace, Yijia squeezed Xuezhu's hand unconvinced, and then boldly got out of the carriage.

It's not that she never entered the palace in her previous life, but every time she came to Concubine Liang to receive scolding and punishment, she was very afraid of the palace, very afraid.

Once again, although she mustered up her courage, she still had a little timidity in her heart.

"Yijia." Just as she was in a daze, she heard Liang Mingyue's lowered voice.Yijia looked over and saw Liang Mingyue walking over.

"Yijia, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you. Let's go in quickly." Liang Mingyue said.

Being chased up by her brother early in the morning to blow the cold wind at the gate of the palace, she was really pitiful.Right now, I just want to pull Yijia in, so that I can drink some hot tea.

"Sister Mingyue." Zhou Yihan walked over and grabbed Liang Mingyue's cuff.

The reason why Yijia didn't come early was because early in the morning, Dongfu was delayed because of what kind of jewelry Zhou Yihan wore and what kind of bun she wore.

In the end, she got impatient with waiting and said that she would leave first if she didn't leave, so Ran sent Zhou Yihan out in a hurry.

Liang Mingyue said in surprise, "Yihan, you're here too?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yihan nodded and said, "Sister Mingyue, I've never been in the palace, I... I'm afraid... I, can I be with you?"

During this period of time, many things happened in Anpinghou's Mansion and the Zhou family's big house, and the two have never met each other, and no news has been passed.

Liang Mingyue didn't know about the discord between Yijia and Zhou Yihan. If she knew, she would stay away from Zhou Yihan for the sake of her elder brother.

She didn't know at this time, so she smiled and pulled Zhou Yihan back, and said, "Come on, I'll take you in together."

In fact, the number of times she entered the palace was also very few, and each time she went directly to Concubine Liang's palace.But in front of the two laughing girls who looked very scared, Liang Mingyue couldn't help but feel that she, the older sister, couldn't be afraid anymore.

She pulled one in each hand, followed the palace man and walked in.

The palace people directly led them to the imperial garden, where there were already many girls.As soon as Yijia and Liang Mingyue arrived, Princess Wenqing and Mu Chaoyun, who had already arrived, walked over.

The big name Le Chengmin, of course, hasn't arrived yet.

The girls are about the same age, and Le Chengmin said a lot of good things in it, so even though they only met last time, they are able to chat together this time.

On the other hand, Zhou Yihan, it was a bit awkward to stand by alone.

They are all from a family, if Zhou Yihan doesn't look good, Yijia won't look good either.So even though he didn't like her in his heart, he still introduced her to Mu Chaoyun and Qi Wenqing.

Both Mu Chaoyun and Qi Wenqing were smart, and they could hear the alienation in her introduction, so Mu Chaoyun just nodded lightly, and Qi Wenqing just smiled, nothing else.

The Empress, Qi Zhan and Liang Mingzhi were all on the Yueming Building not far from the Imperial Garden, looking at the girl in the garden not far or near.

"Zhan'er, which one do you like?" The empress said: "Choose one, and while your father is still in the future, the queen mother will make the decision for you."

Qi Zhan was already the crown prince secretly appointed, and it was naturally impossible for the crown princess to be selected without going through the emperor, so Qi Zhan also knew that what the queen mother meant was to choose a side concubine for him at most.

He pretended to lie on the railing and looked into the distance. After looking around for a long time, he shook his head and said: "No, no, no, there is no one who can look at it."

The Empress laughed and scolded: "You are so narrow-minded! Those girls are young and beautiful, and there are many who are well-educated. How come you don't like any of them?"

Without waiting for his answer after cursing, he waved to Liang Mingzhi who had been standing quietly by the side, and said, "Come on, Ziming, come and have a look, which one do you like?"

Liang Mingzhi walked over generously.

There were so many girls in the imperial garden, but he still saw the girl in green at a glance.In the past six months, she has grown very fast like a bamboo shoot with knots, and she is even taller than Mingyue, who is one year older than her.

Although the distance is not far, I can't see the flowers on the clothes clearly, and I can't see what kind of jewelry she is wearing. I can only see her smiling and talking with the girl next to her from a distance.As if they had a tacit understanding, when Liang Mingzhi looked over, Yijia also looked up.

But she was in a low place, so she couldn't see anything when she raised her head like this, and she looked back in a blink of an eye.

Qi Zhan walked over, touched Liang Mingzhi's arm, and said, "Which one do you like? While my mother is here, I can ask my mother to marry you."

He did remember that Liang Mingzhi had only spoken half of what he had said at Zhou's house that day.These days, he scratched his head and wanted to know, but this person kept hiding it from him and refused to tell.

Liang Mingzhi glanced at him and said flatly, "I won't tell you."

Qi Zhan curled his lips and suddenly laughed.

"If you really don't tell me, you won't be afraid. What if I fall in love with your sweetheart and choose her to be my concubine?" He said narrowly.

Liang Mingzhi thought of Le Chengmin, who was Qi Zhan's queen.

"It's impossible for you and her," he said.

Qi Zhan was taken aback by his firm words.

Could it be that Liang Mingzhi saw something?

He was busy looking over, but he saw Liang Mingzhi looking at the girl in the imperial garden again, staring at the girl with a pair of eyes reluctant to blink, and the corners of his mouth curled up and down.

He snorted, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

These words meant one thing to Qi Zhan, but another meaning to the empress.She walked to the railing and followed Liang Mingzhi's gaze towards the imperial garden.It was Qi Wenqing and Mu Chaoyun, and two girls they didn't know.

So the Empress thought she understood that Liang Mingzhi had taken a fancy to Qi Wenqing.

Earlier, she had learned from that girl Cheng Min that Qi Wenqing had someone she liked. Although she hadn't told Prince Cheng and his wife yet, she was not willing to do the bad thing of breaking up others.So he made up his mind to tell Liang Mingzhi about Mu Chaoyun.But a few days ago, Le Chengmin suddenly ran over with a confused face, saying that she found out that the person Qi Wenqing liked was Liang Mingzhi.

Send someone to inquire, ouch, isn't it.That child Wenqing is really bold. During the lantern show, he not only ran to meet Liang Mingzhi, but also met Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Wu. The empress thought about it, and when she looked at Liang Mingzhi in front of her, she felt that she was really You guessed it, this is a match made in heaven!
She didn't listen to Le Chengmin's coy words that they couldn't be together.Then what about the second young lady of the Zhou family, no matter how good she is, how can she still have Princess Wenqing, the daughter of the prince?
Wenqing is not only beautiful, but also has a prominent family background, and also has a very good temper.Such a girl, if not from the same clan as Qi Zhan, she would have wanted to be her daughter-in-law.

"Ziming, if you like someone, tell me, I will make the decision for you." The Empress said.

Liang Mingzhi knew that the empress and King Xiang were in a good mood at the moment, but he did it on purpose.The royal family is smart, even if you can hide it for a while, you will be known sooner or later.When it is known at that time, the result may not be what you want at all.

Therefore, he didn't mind showing this expression of liking someone in front of the Empress and King Xiang.

And because only in this way, they can feel more at ease with him.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness, but..." Liang Mingzhi said, "I want to work hard first, and if I don't get her father's approval in the end, I will ask the empress again, and the empress will definitely help me when the time comes." .”

The empress thought of becoming a prince, she was a henpeck.At that time, as long as you make an agreement with Princess Cheng, this matter can basically be done.Besides, even if it doesn't work, the emperor is still there, and if the emperor talks to Prince Cheng, he will not object.

The empress nodded in response, but she thought in her heart that when the married princess came over from the empress dowager, she would have to make a routine.
