Splendid Book

Chapter 98

Nie Qingsang smiled at her, and Shen Changle responded politely. She had heard at home before that the Nie family invited the eldest princess to come forward and propose a marriage proposal for Nie Qingsang and her elder brother.So her coming to the draft was just a formality.

At this time, more than half of the primary elections had passed, the girls who were selected stood on one side, and the unsuccessful ones stood on the other side. The unsuccessful teams looked over at a glance, and everyone was very frustrated.

Shen Lan was also standing in the selected team, at this moment she saw Shen Changle approaching, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.Although there was an eventuality in his heart, he finally understood that Shen Changle would definitely not fail in the primary election.

Shen Yue was the last batch of girls who came out. When she came out, her face was slightly red, but she still came towards them.

The next step is to stay in the palace for three days to learn the etiquette rules.

Those who can be selected are all outstanding ladies, and the etiquette rules are naturally unmissable.It's just that if there are too many girls, there will inevitably be some verbal disputes.On the first day, two girls had an argument because they accidentally stepped on each other's skirts.But even so, he was led out immediately.In the next two days, although everyone dared not do this again, some people were still taken away.

Shen Lan always likes to inquire about these right and wrong, so Shen Changle also knows something, it seems that those girls lost their composure in their sleep, and that's why they were dismissed.

Shen Changle had never been drafted in his previous life, so naturally he didn't know that the rules for drafting women were so strict that they even had to control their sleeping posture.Fortunately, the three days passed quickly, and the girls who stayed behind could meet the ladies in the harem, and if they were lucky, they might even meet the emperor.

Because this will be the season of warm spring and flowers blooming in the imperial garden, the emperor simply asked these beautiful women to come to the imperial garden to be candidates.

This is a young girl at the right age, and she is beautiful and charming even if she is not dressed up, not to mention that everyone is still dressed up today.When such a group of little girls came to the imperial garden, people didn't know whether to look at them or the flowers in full bloom.

Because the emperor came over suddenly, saying that he wanted to come and see this show girl.Therefore, Concubine De asked to bring Xiunu to the imperial garden later.

But the previous court was still the same as before. After the court came down, Ji Heng, the fourth prince Ji Chang and other nephews went to the Palace of Qinzheng together.The emperor specially summoned them today for the purpose of choosing a concubine.Ji Heng is the emperor's uncle, but even the eldest prince has a son, and his emperor's uncle is still a loner.

"As an uncle, you should set an example for them. You can't excuse me now," the emperor said angrily when he saw Ji Heng.

Ji Heng immediately laughed and said, "Brother Huang is here, how can I be a role model. I think they only need to learn one-tenth of what Brother Huang is, and they will be great."

The emperor didn't want to listen to his words. If you want to talk about Ji Heng, it really is good everywhere.Of course, this is not a compliment from his elder brother. In terms of appearance, Ji Heng needless to say, in terms of power, he is the Prince of Zhennan, the most honorable among the princes.But it happened to be such a son-in-law who rides the dragon and fast in the hearts of all mothers-in-law, but he is not deceived by women's sex, and he wants to accompany the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

So the emperor was also puzzled.

So after the sons left, he stayed in Ji Heng specially, and said, "I told you a few days ago, but have you considered it?"

"Brother Huang, my younger brother also said earlier that I am dedicated to the Buddha. If I marry a wife, it will just delay other girls, so please forgive my younger brother for his willfulness," Ji Heng couldn't help but said softly.

When the emperor saw that he refused to give in, Ji Heng immediately changed the subject and said, "Speaking of the draft, is my brother going to intercede for someone?"

"Intercede, what are you talking about?" The emperor was also curious when he heard what he said.

Ji Heng immediately chuckled and said, "My brother is interceding for the Seventh Prince."

"Hanyuan?" When the emperor heard that he came for Ji Yu, he immediately became curious. Speaking of which, among his few sons, he was really worried about Ji Yu the most.Especially when he was a child, he liked to run around with Ji Heng. The emperor was also afraid that this son would follow in Ji Heng's footsteps.

"Brother Huang, you also know that Han Yuan has always been cold-tempered, but he came to beg me a few days ago, saying that he wanted me to come before Brother Huang and intercede for him." Ji Heng looked directly at the Emperor with a serious look on his face. It's kind of funny.

Hearing what he said, the emperor suddenly felt a little strange. He just felt that his son had taken a fancy to the girl, and instead of begging him, he let Ji Heng speak in the middle.

Ji Heng would naturally think that the emperor would think so, so he immediately said with a smile: "This kid is really funny, I asked him why he didn't tell his father himself, but he actually said that he was afraid that his father would think he was unruly." , that’s why I dare not say it.”

"Which family's girl does he have a crush on?" The emperor felt better when he heard this. After all, this kid really cares about his father, so he dared not come and say it himself.son
Just as Ji Heng was about to speak, someone outside came to report: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is asking to see you outside."

"Say Cao Cao, this Cao Cao is here," Ji Heng said immediately.

It happened that the emperor also wanted to ask Ji Yu something, and when he heard that he was coming, he was announced to come in.

Ji Yu was wearing a silver and white brocade robe today. He was handsome and tall. When he walked in, even the emperor couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

As soon as he came in, he immediately greeted the emperor and Ji Heng.On the contrary, the emperor looked him up and down, and asked deliberately: "Why did you see me suddenly, but there is something important? If it's okay, I will go to the Imperial Garden later."

As soon as Ji Yu heard that the emperor was going to the Imperial Garden, she immediately glanced at Ji Heng in surprise.It's just that his glance was taken into consideration by the emperor, and he immediately reprimanded him lightly: "Tell me if you have anything to do, what do you think your uncle is doing?"

"My son has the guts to ask Father about something." When Ji Yu heard this, he knew that Emperor Uncle had probably already told Father, so he came just in time, and Dang even knelt down.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground without blinking, the emperor immediately snorted and said, "What do you want?"

"My son, I want to ask my father to give me a marriage," Ji Yu said with downcast eyes after being silent for a moment.

The emperor was taken aback, he didn't expect this kid to be straightforward, but he was able to speak by himself, and he asked his uncle to do something earlier.So he said without curiosity: "If you don't tell me, I also intend to propose a marriage for you this time, so you can go back and wait."

"Father, my son and servant have their own hearts, and I ask my father to fulfill me." Of course, Ji Yu was not willing to be dismissed by the emperor. No matter what, he must ask his father to marry him.If the father marry other women to him, or marry her to other princes, Ji Yu feels that he will go crazy.

"Absurd, the marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can you have the final say." In fact, the emperor wants to know which girl he is pretending to be, but this will depend on his face It became clear at once, and the emperor also wanted to tease him.

It is said that the dragon has nine sons, but the sons are different.The emperor happened to have nine sons, the eldest was reckless, the second was treacherous, the third was cowardly, and the fourth was deep. It happened that the seventh was much younger than the above brothers, but he was not only prudent, but also meticulous in everything he did. One cannot find fault.

If we talk about this shortcoming, it is that this temper is too cold.To be honest, the emperor was worried before, he stepped into Ji Heng's footsteps.

It's all right now, the kid himself delivered it to the door.

Ji Yu naturally didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, he just thought that his request was too much, immediately he knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "Father, I dare not presume, but I have my own heart, and I have made up my mind , unless she does not marry."

"If it's her, don't you marry?" The emperor looked at Ji Yu, although he lowered his head, he could see that the kid was really nervous, so he immediately asked, "Then tell me, why do you have a place where you belong?" , and why do you plan to insist on her not marrying?"

"Father, during the Shangsi Festival, I went outing with my elder brothers. It was there that I met a girl," Ji Yu said, but his tone seemed to be tainted with some rare perturbed.

The emperor thought about the Shangsi Festival, but he remembered that the grandson of the eldest princess of Wuyi almost hurt Zerui in the old family. For this matter, his aunt went to the palace to plead guilty.The emperor also treasured Ji Zerui, if it weren't for his aunt's age, and Ji Yu took the initiative to teach those two boys of the Wu family a lesson, the emperor would not let them go easily.

At this time, Ji Yu's mind came to Ji Yu's mind. She was standing among the brilliant peach blossoms that day. This kind of kind and chivalrous girl, my son fell in love at first sight, so I want to ask my father to help me."

The emperor didn't know that there was such a thing, Dang even asked with interest: "There is such a thing? Which family's girl is the one who saved people?"

"This girl is the third girl of Duke Wei's mansion, the eldest daughter of Duke Shen Lingcheng. This girl is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a temperament that my ministers like," Ji Yu told the truth at this meeting, but Let the emperor nod with satisfaction.

It's just that he thought about it carefully, and suddenly asked: "Is this Miss Shen San the one you rescued a few years ago?"

Since Ji Heng wasn't in the capital a few years ago, he didn't know about this incident, so Dang even asked curiously, "Han Yuan also saved this Miss Shen?"

The emperor had reached the age of old and dim eyesight, and this matter was a major event at that time, so when the name was mentioned, it made sense again.Only then did the emperor understand that this was not for the Shangsi Festival, I am afraid that this boy is not thinking about other girls every day or two.

"You nephew, you acted bravely at the beginning and became a hero once," the emperor said angrily.

Although he didn't suffer any injuries during that rescue, but it was the prince after all, if something happened to him, how could the emperor not be worried.For this matter, Concubine De still cried in front of him.

So he angrily explained to Ji Heng, and Ji Heng smiled clearly: "I said that Han Yuan is not such a temperament, how could he beg for a marriage just after meeting a girl. This kind of fate is here, and this is also a good fate."

Since Ji Heng is a lobbyist invited by Ji Yu, he naturally speaks for him at critical times.

"Father, I have no intention of deceiving you. Originally, I didn't know that she was Miss Shen San. I only heard about it later. That's why I dared to come here and ask my father to marry me," Ji Yu said. Showing a hint of embarrassment.

The emperor snorted, but there was no objection in his heart.

Although they were all meant to marry her son, but this girl Shen has a good family background and character, even if she married Ji Yu, it would not be considered as burying his son.If he really likes it, as the father, he will be fulfilled, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"You said just now that you won't marry unless she is the only one, but are you serious?" the emperor looked at him and asked.

Ji Yu raised his head immediately, with a firm expression and said: "Marriage is a major event, and I dare not be sloppy in the slightest. So I ask my father to make it happen."

From just now to now, he has made up his mind. The emperor looked at his impulsive appearance, but he was not angry.On the contrary, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. After all, when a young man has someone he likes, he will put everything in his heart.

He couldn't help thinking that when he was young, he also liked that person, but it was too shocking, so he had to hide that love in his heart.

So seeing Ji Yu like this, he naturally wouldn't be that villain.In his eyes, there is no difference between those noble girls on the left and right. If Han Yuan really likes it, then just point it out to him.

"Okay, I get it, but I haven't heard such good things from you on weekdays." The emperor waved his hand angrily, and said, "It's time for me to go to the Imperial Garden, you should go back first."

Seeing that the emperor never gave herself a positive answer, Ji Yu immediately shouted impatiently: "Father..."

"Okay, I will make your wish come true. Could it be that you want me to write you an imperial edict right now?" Seeing that he still wanted to talk, the emperor immediately said angrily.

As soon as Ji Yu heard it, he was overjoyed, kowtowed to the emperor, and immediately said happily: "My son, thank you father for your success."

After he left, the emperor cursed softly again: "This kid..."

At this time, all the girls waiting for the draft were also led to the imperial garden.Shen Changle lived in the palace in his previous life, so he is no stranger to the Royal Garden.But some beautiful women who had never entered the palace could not help looking around from the corner of their eyes once they entered the imperial garden.

Although the nuns on both sides of the line saw it, they wouldn't reprimand anyone at this time.

It was also a coincidence that Xu Yuexin was standing next to Shen Changle, but today she was low-key a few days ago. She was dressed in a bright water shadow red and gold thread peony beanie, so bright and pretty that people couldn't ignore it.

She had already greeted Shen Changle earlier, seeing her confident appearance, Shen Changle couldn't help feeling a little heavy in his heart.

As for Shen Changle, she has always disliked flamboyant attire. She is wearing a warm pink blouse with a silver border and a peach pattern, paired with a silver-white long skirt, and her black hair is pulled into a ponytail. A huge pink pearl trembled slightly in her hair as she walked.

Although many girls choose pink skirts today, it's just that although the clothes are important, the human face is more touching.

When many little girls were waiting outside the gazebo, the emperor's escort arrived slowly.And when everyone was passing by, they lowered their heads one after another. The girls standing in the front row saw the bright yellow boots walking slowly in front of them.

Every time there are only four beautiful girls, when it is Shen Changle's turn, she happens to be with Xu Yuexin.

After saluting, the four of them lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, not daring to move an inch.

The emperor didn't speak, but Concubine De at the side opened her mouth to look at it, and asked slowly: "Are you Xu Ge's granddaughter?"

"Go back to your mother, the minister's daughter is," because Shen Changle was standing next to her, she could hear the slight tremor in her voice.

Concubine De turned her head slightly to look at the emperor, and said softly: "I look at Miss Xu well."

The emperor was noncommittal, but glanced at Shen Changle next to him, but nodded and said: "It's really good."

Xu Yuexin was overjoyed in her heart, but she still tried her best to endure it on the face, not daring to reveal the joy in the slightest.After listening to the emperor's words, Concubine De was delighted to ask someone to leave Xu Yuexin's signboard.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Concubine De let the four of them go down again.

When Shen Changle left, she felt that her hands and feet were numb, but fortunately she still had a sliver of reason, so she didn't lose her bearing in front of Sheng Jia.

It seems that it still doesn't work.

Even if she lived a new life, she still failed to reverse her fate.

She only felt that the tears were spinning, but she couldn't cry, and she couldn't be seen.

And after they left, the emperor suddenly said to Concubine De next to him: "I look at that little girl in pink, it's not bad."

Concubine De didn't expect everyone to leave, and the emperor actually mentioned this again.Dang even smiled and said, "Which one is the emperor talking about?"

"It's the most beautiful one," the emperor just now glanced at Shen Changle, the little girl is so beautiful, even if she described it as "a fish falling into a wild goose", it would not be an exaggeration at all.His old seven has good eyesight.

Concubine De immediately smiled embarrassingly, although the purpose of this draft was to marry the prince, it didn't hinder it, the emperor liked it.

Could it be that the emperor took a fancy to that Miss Shen?
In fact, as soon as these four girls came in, Concubine De saw her at a glance. She was really too beautiful, even Xu Yuexin was pretty, but standing next to Shen Changle, she looked a bit vulgar .

But since the emperor mentioned it, of course Concubine De would not refuse, so she asked the female officer to take out Shen Changle's sign again.

And when it's over, all the show girls can go out of the palace and go home.

Before Shen Changle got into the carriage, he looked back at the red wall and yellow tiles behind him, feeling indescribably numb in his heart.
