Don't mess with the second lady

Chapter 81

Yan Tiancheng sighed, "The status of a saint is indeed very honorable. If you were selected as a saint before, I would be very happy, but now, you and the prime minister will get married in three days."

I see!Yan Qianqiu sneered, it seems that the prime minister's wife is much more helpful to the general's mansion than the saint, that's why he is so worried, for him, she is just a tool for his prosperity.

Yan Qianqiu snorted coldly, turned around and slammed the door shut.

Yan Tiancheng got a bad nose and lingered at Yan Qianqiu's door for a long time before leaving.

Yan Qianqiu's heart is icy cold, this nominal father, if he really doesn't eat her up and make use of her trash, won't he give up?However, she can't disobey the emperor's order, after all, she still can't bear the crime of disobeying the order.

Sighing helplessly, Yan Qianqiu walked up to the bronze mirror and began to dress up. However, she was so ugly, with red lips like pig blood, exaggerated blush that rivaled a monkey's butt, and Her dark complexion made her look scary.

It was already half an hour after everything was ready, Yan Tiancheng had already prepared the carriage, and when Yan Qianqiu appeared in front of the coachman, he really surprised the coachman, she didn't realize it, she sat in the carriage and closed her eyes Resting his mind, he couldn't help but think about what the legendary national teacher would look like.

Chuxiu Palace has always been the temporary residence of the show girls when the emperor chooses his concubines. The showgirls are selected every three years. This year is not the time for the show, so the Chuxiu Palace is also idle. It came in handy.

All the daughters of the ministers who entered the palace were temporarily placed here. I heard from the old man in the palace that they need to take a bath before running for the saint, so everyone was brought here when they entered the palace.

When Yan Qianqiu arrived at Chuxiu Palace, most of the minister's daughters were already waiting in the hall. After hearing what the old man said about taking a bath, most of the women showed embarrassment. After all, taking a bath naked in front of strangers, It is still a bit difficult for women in this society to accept.

As soon as Yan Qianqiu entered the door of the hall, an old man greeted her, and handed her a waiting sign with a number on it, and she received 37.Looking again, it turns out that there is some water vapor faintly leaking from a room next to the hall, and I think it is a place for bathing.

There is an old man who is responsible for the bathing of the girls, and only two bathers can enter in order at a time.

Yan Qianqiu found a remote place in the corner of the hall and sat down, glanced at the daughters of the ministers, and found that in the team of about 50 people, many people did not have excited expressions on their faces. Look, there are still many people who deliberately dress themselves up as ugly as myself.

How is this going?Could it be that they don't want to be chosen as saints either?She couldn't believe that so many people were indifferent to fame and fortune.

"You are Yan Qianqiu, the second lady of the General's Mansion, right?"

A gentle voice appeared in Yan Qianqiu's ear, she looked up and saw a woman with a sweet smile sitting down beside her.The woman was beautiful in appearance, and her attire was neither ostentatious nor shabby. At first glance, she was a likable woman.

Yan Qianqiu nodded. For some reason, she always felt that although this woman's smile was sweet, it didn't have a deep smile. Such a smile always gave her an unreal feeling.

"My name is Ning'er, and I'm the daughter of the servant of the official department. I've heard about you from my father a long time ago. My father and General Yan are family friends. I've seen Brother Yifei and Sister Ruxue since I was a child. .” Ning’er always had a friendly smile on her face as she spoke.

"Oh." Yan Qianqiu just responded in a low voice. Naturally, her titular father would not take the useless second lady out to meet people, but this Ning'er hasn't come to make friends with her for so many years. Why did he come to please her all of a sudden at this time?She didn't believe in the good news of a pie falling from the sky, so she immediately became a little wary of Ning'er.

Seeing Yan Qianqiu's indifferent attitude, Ning'er's smile froze, but she didn't stop talking. Instead, she took out a sachet from her bosom, and stuffed the sachet into Yan Qianqiu's hand, "This sachet I originally wanted to give it to Sister Ruxue, but for some reason during this period of time, Sister Ruxue didn’t come out for several invitations, so this sachet has been made for a long time and I haven’t sent it yet. It’s great to meet Qianqiu today , why don't you help me bring it back to her?"

Ning'er's face was full of hope, her expressions and movements were very kind. Facing such a lovely request, it was really hard for people to refuse, not to mention that she deliberately raised her voice when speaking, so the surrounding Everyone heard their conversation.

It's just a small thing like bringing something, but if you refuse in front of so many people, then Yan Qianqiu will be considered inhuman and petty by everyone.

But Yan Qianqiu always felt a little weird in her heart. Anyway, she was just a waste of the general's mansion in the eyes of everyone. They could see her whatever they liked, she didn't care.

Lips moved, Yan Qianqiu was about to say no, when the door of the side room opened, an old man came out and called: "No. 37, 38!"

Ning'er immediately took Yan Qianqiu's hand to stand up and walked to the side room, holding down the words that Yan Qianqiu had not had time to speak in her throat.

There is a screen in the side room. The screen divides the side room into two parts. A large wooden barrel is placed on each side of the screen. A court lady is continuously pouring warm water into the tub, and several palace ladies are standing on both sides of the tub to wait. Then, seeing Yan Qianqiu and Ning'er coming in, he quickly took them to the two sides to take a bath.

The bathing process was very simple. Several maids rubbed their bodies back and forth, and after washing them, they wiped their bodies with water made from rose petals.Sometimes Yan Qianqiu couldn't help but think, they came to choose the saintess, not the concubine, why are they so romantic?The six roots of the gods are pure, and they don't need women!
After bathing and putting on clothes, the careful maid hung the sachet on Yan Qianqiu's belt.Yan Qianqiu was startled, and reached out to stop the maid's movement.

The maid raised her head suspiciously and asked, "Miss, don't you bring a sachet? You can't leave your things in this room. If you don't take them away, we'll throw them away later. This sachet is very It smells good, it's a pity to lose it, the girl really doesn't bring it?"
