Just now, Tan Yun had been looking at her with his big curious eyes. Zhen Qingyin had already noticed it and greeted her with a timid smile.
Tan Yun saw that she was so cowardly and did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring her: "Sister Zhen, can you lend me your ancient book to copy? I'm very interested."
Zhen Qingyin smiled: "Okay, okay, it's not something that should be kept secret. Because the author of the book is not famous, it gradually became an orphan. If we take this opportunity to let more people see it, the author of the original book will definitely be able to smile. "
After finishing her words, she paused.
The so-called unique copy couldn't have been written by Wei Ji himself, right?
That sentence is full of smiles... Zhen Qingyin suppressed the raised corners of her lips.
The system chuckled: [Host, I know you are not a good person, and you curse the male protagonist every chance you get. Oh, by the way, I have scanned that ancient book into my database, and I can retell it to you at any time - it suddenly occurred to me that I can be a golden finger for you to have a photographic memory. You can do it if you behave well. A good queen and imperial concubine can choose you as a crown princess. 】
Zhen Qingyin ignored it.
For a person who is about to die, it doesn't matter whether others treat her as a concubine or a princess.
"Sister Zhen, you are so kind!" Tan Yun was excited and wanted to make friends with her. He asked her in detail what she usually read, what she did to spend her time, and what suddenly occurred to her. She couldn't help asking curiously, "Sister and the prince's cousin." Are you familiar?"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned over.
Song Xiang snuggled into the imperial concubine's arms and looked at her cousin in confusion. How could her cousin be so timid and ask for cement or an original copy from her cousin?
Although Zhen Qingyin decided to die, she still felt uncomfortable. She smiled timidly, as if she was afraid of the prince: "I don't even know him well. We have met several times. The last time we met was during the Lantern Festival. Our family went to Lishan Qingyue Temple was praying for my grandmother, and it just happened that the Crown Prince went to the Mingshan Temple next door to light the everlasting lanterns. There were many people on the right path, so His Highness walked to the back mountain, and that’s when he met her."
On the day of the Lantern Festival, the queen, emperor and concubines all received ancient books from Zhen Qingyin as a gift to the prince.
The two empresses thought to themselves, no wonder I didn't see you two at the Lantern Festival banquet. They just thought you two were not destined to be together. It turned out that we had met each other during the day.
The two of them felt sad, hiding a hint of secret joy.
After the imperial concubine was overjoyed, she recalled that the prince went to Mingshan Temple to light a lantern for her unlucky little daughter. The daughter protected her brother in heaven, so that the prince met Zhen Qingyin that day and got the cement for road construction.
Therefore, the look in Zhen Qingyin's eyes became softer.
At about noon, the queen left for dinner. Zhen Qing was so frightened that she almost cried. The queen did not embarrass her and let her and Song Xiang go out.
The empress and the imperial concubine said: "She is a well-organized child in her speech. When she said that she had copied an original copy and the author of the book had a smile on her face, we knew that she was a sensible person, but she was just a little timid."
She was timid and couldn't stand up to big events. She was beautiful, but not outstanding enough. What was rare was that the prince took care of her and offered cement, which also helped the prince a lot.
The queen always had some regrets in her heart.
The imperial concubine was very satisfied and said good things for Zhen Qingyin: "It seems that the rules are perfect. If he is really perfect, the prince may not like him. The queen knows the prince best. She seems to be soft-tempered and easy to talk, but in fact he is domineering and tough. , To be honest, it takes a soft, sweet and temperless little lady to match his temperament."
The queen thought the same thing, where could she find a perfect young lady to match the prince? Immediately he remembered the slap mark on the prince's face. His little lady was as soft as dough that anyone could handle. I don't know how he made him angry, causing the docile kitten to scratch his paw and ignore him for several months. .
Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking, the imperial concubine couldn't help but smile, and put her heart back in her stomach.
It seems that Zhen Qingyin has passed the test with the Queen.
As for the emperor, it's just a concubine. The emperor hopes that the prince will spread his wings early so that he can have grandchildren soon.
Tan Yun was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "Auntie, the imperial concubine, what kind of riddles are you trying to make? Are you talking about telling Sister Zhen to be the crown prince's concubine to the prince's cousin?"
The queen said angrily: "Look what you said. You call Miss Zhen sister, and you call the prince cousin. You are in the wrong generation. Don't say these nonsense, don't ruin the reputation of this young lady."
Tan Yun covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.
Knowing that, she would not go out and talk nonsense.
Miss Zhen is so cowardly. If she gets involved in gossip, why should she cry every night? When she thought of her crying and crying, she couldn't help but want to protect her.
The queen paused and elaborated: "I and the imperial concubine like that child very much, but it depends on her fate with the prince. She is also a girl from the prince's family, but the title was passed to her grandfather's generation. , her uncle is a minister, her uncle is a Duke, her maternal grandfather is a magistrate, and her father is also a scholar. Unfortunately, the official position is a bit small, and he only became a seventh-grade county magistrate. Therefore, Miss Zhen's status is lowered, and she cannot be a princess. A good girl can still afford it."
The queen didn't finish her words, but directly vetoed the position of crown princess.
The Crown Princess is the future queen and mother of the country. It is not good for her to be timid. She will not be able to control the situation... and may end up even worse than her.
Excessive grace is tantamount to poison.
Secretly, she hoped that the prince would find a girl he was happy with, marry her as his wife, and live happily with her forever, but she gave up the idea after meeting Zhen Qingyin again.
It was because of this that I felt regretful and had a fly in the ointment.
As long as Zhen Qingyin is braver and more ambitious, she will also work hard to help her fight for the position of crown princess.
Tan Yun felt unhappy after hearing what the queen said.
You're a good little lady, why do you want to be a concubine?
Mrs. Zhen is just a little timid, and her words are meaningful. At first glance, she is the type of person her mother said, who has read the book clearly. It can be seen that she is a smart person, how can she be reduced to a concubine?
She opened her mouth, caught a glimpse of the imperial concubine beside her, and quickly swallowed the words back.
Turn around and quietly ask the prince's cousin.
*
After Zhen Qingyin left the queen's tent, she sent Song Xiang away and hid in the tent of Duke Chao's mansion.
Let the female relatives outside make random guesses, her aunt helped her get rid of the people who made various excuses to ask her out.
After a while, the queen saw other people again, and the ladies who came to look for her gradually stopped coming, and Zhen Qingyin was finally at peace.
She lay on the soft couch and stared at the roof of the tent in a daze.
After hearing what Song Xiang relayed, Yin Ruzhu saw that Zhen Qingyin was unhappy, and her heart sank. She implicitly hinted: "Qingyin, when you are of age to get engaged, do you have any young talents that you like? My aunt has seen quite a lot of them lately. I’ve met a few young men with good eyesight.”
If you don't want to be a concubine to the prince, your aunt will quickly help you find a young master from another family. If the people in the palace really care about you, it will be too late to run away.
