"Yuying, it's getting late. Our family has already prepared bath water and breakfast. You go take a bath, then eat breakfast quickly, and follow our family to rush for the exam!"
Hearing Pan Yuchen's voice, Ding Yuying quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to Eunuch Pan: "Good morning, Eunuch Pan."
Pan Yuchen waved his hand: "Go quickly... We are waiting for you in the dining room."
Ding Yuying performed the blessing ceremony again and then entered the house. Eunuch Pan's wife was instructing two old ladies to pour hot water into a large wooden bucket. She was originally a palace maid who entered the palace when Chongzhen was a virgin. At that time, she also had a dream of climbing a dragon and a phoenix. But her beauty cannot compare with women such as Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian, and Concubine Yuan. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen was determined to be a wise king, and his mind was not on women. So she waited for a long time without attracting Emperor Chongzhen's attention. Until the Jiashen Disaster followed him on his escape, and he fell in love with Tian Yuchen on the way...
"Madam." Ding Yuying's voice rang out.
Mrs. Pan looked back at this charming girl and sighed softly, as if she also saw herself in her back then... It was certainly not easy to stand out among thousands of beautiful girls back then, but today How easy is it to become a princess?
Thinking of this, she still waved to Ding Yuying and said with a smile: "Come here, wash off the smelly sweat first, and go to the exam refreshed!"
Ding Yuying nodded and responded: "Well, I will definitely take the exam well!"
...
"I've heard it all. The future prosperity of our Zheng family depends on how well you girls take the exam! Min'er, you are the smartest among my granddaughters. You did very well in the last preliminary exam. You have to work hard this time and be sure to win the title!"
Zheng Zhilong was giving lectures to his eleven granddaughters at this time, and especially asked one of them, a petite and very cute girl named Zheng Min, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, to take the exam well.
This Zheng Min is Zheng Sen's daughter. She has been smart since she was a child and was deeply loved by Zheng Zhilong, so she took her with her and went to elementary school and middle school for girls in Yingtian Mansion. She is a top student in Laoshan Girls' High School, and she is a classmate with Zhu Cixiang's two daughters. Through the relationship between the two princesses, Zheng Min and Zhu Hexing also know each other... they can barely be said to be childhood sweethearts!
Girls become sensible early and develop love early, so they have fallen in love with the Crown Prince a long time ago!
"Grandpa, don't worry." The little girl nodded heavily, "My granddaughter must take the exam well and be a leader no matter what...well, so that she can marry the prince brother!"
"Okay! Okay!" Zheng Zhilong nodded repeatedly, and then turned his attention to Zheng Jiangong, "Second brother, is there any movement over at the Wu family?"
Zheng Jiangong frowned tightly, as if he was worried, and did not answer his father's question for a while.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Zhilong asked, "What happened to the Wu family?"
"No, it's nothing..." Of course Zheng Jiangong would not tell his father that Wu Ahuan was being looked after by Queen Wu Sanmei during this period!
Wu Guogui was in front of the Shaanxi Army, and his family members were in Baoji. Wu Ahuan originally lived in Wu Sanfu's house. As for Wu Sanfu's family, they either followed her to Shaanxi or escorted Wu Sangui's coffin to Yingtian Mansion... She was the only little girl who had no one to take care of her, so she was taken into the palace by Wu Sanmei. Wu Sanmei asked Xu Erlin to make up lessons for her, and also asked the prince to meet Wu Ahuan frequently!
Wu Ahuan is the "Eight-faced Guanyin"! The prince sees such a little beauty every once in a while, how can he not be excited?
But after Zheng Jiangong learned about this from his wife, he didn't dare to tell the old man...
"It's fine!" Zheng Zhilong nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go to the exam together!"
...
"Ah Huan, are you sure?"
"Auntie, Ah Huan doesn't dare to talk about being sure, but for the sake of the prince, Ah Huan will risk his life to do well in the exam!"
"Well done! As the prince and your childhood sweetheart, you must give your aunt some credit. You must not let the goblins of the Zheng family gain the upper hand..."
"Um!"
In the Kunning Hall of the East Lake Palace, Wu Sanmei was talking to a super beauty who was beautiful everywhere - although Wu Sangui's suicide note requested that Wu Ahuan be married to the rich king Zhu Hehao, Wu Sanmei couldn't swallow this breath!
She and Zheng Chagu have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. How could she be willing to let her son marry a daughter of the Zheng family as his queen?
How is this possible? We must fight!
Now that Zhu Cixiang has drawn the line, take the exam based on your ability!
So Wu Sanmei directly used the power of the queen to catch Concubine Xu and asked her to make up lessons for Wu Ahuan! Ah Huan, the "Eight-faced Guanyin", is not a weakling. Just think about Guanyin's body shape... She is big and beautiful, and her physical fitness is here. In addition, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts skills are better than those of women. Absolutely top-notch.
He is also very proficient in military science and can fully cope with military science and martial arts examinations. Confucianism and mathematics are also okay, but French is relatively poor. So Xu Erlin was also teaching her French during this period! Her French level has also improved by leaps and bounds...
Wu Sanmei stood up from the chair and said to Wu Ahuan: "Let's go, I will take you to the examination room!"
...
When Wu Sanmei arranged for Wu Ahuan to hook up with her son Zhu Hexing, the mansion of the local tycoon Wang Zhu Hehao, whom Zhu Cihong arranged for Wu Ahuan, also lived in the house of a girl who was going to take the exam, and she was Anuke, the wife of King Sengge of Junger. Dun's sister Ahai.
This girl was introduced by Galdan to Zhu Hehao as a concubine - although Galdan had personally taught Ahai, he did not expect Ahai to be admitted to a women's university. However, Zhu Hehao, who serves in the army (just a small staff officer) in the Generalissimo's Mansion, wants Ahai to go to a women's college, because he feels that only in this way can his father Zhu Cixiang agree to accept Ahai as his concubine... .
"Ah Hai, don't worry. If you can pass the exam, if you do, the lonely king can ask your father to accept you as his concubine!"
Zhu Hehao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Ah Hai's body who was getting dressed. His handsome face was full of joy. Although he was already in his early 20s, Zhu Cihong did not marry him, nor did he let him marry him. Concubinage, so he had to find a way to find a woman by himself.
But the king of the United States relies on his status and is unwilling to mess with those fireworks women, nor does he want to spoil the daughters of a small family - he knows that he is the king of the United States, and the United States is a fledgling country and needs to be provided with in all aspects. of support. Therefore, his concubine must also come from a wealthy and powerful businessman's family who can help the development of the United States.
There are also ladies from famous families in his circle who are willing to be friends with him, but they all want the status of a concubine, but Zhu Hehao can't make the decision... There are ways for rich kings to get money, But if he wants his status, he has to wait until he comes to the country!
Only Ah Hai was the best, letting Zhu Hehao sleep over and over without asking for anything.
This is true love!
...
"Xiao He, get in the car quickly. It's a long way to go. You have to go out early... Don't be nervous. It's not difficult to pass the exam. Your talents and knowledge are there, and you will definitely pass."
At this time, Grand Duke Luo, Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had already taken his young daughter Luo Xiaohe out of a rather simple-looking mansion in Donghu Town. This was his private residence in Donghu Town. It occupied a small area and was well-maintained. It's a bit shabby, and it looks like the residence of an upright official... In fact, he is an upright official, and he doesn't take bribes or corruption. Although there are millions of taels of family property, every tael and every penny is completely exploited!
However, there are still many money-obsessed censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who want to bring down this upright official... So Grand Duke Luo especially wanted to rely on a big enough backer so that he would not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. Afraid of the censor.
And "getting a princess" seems to be a good opportunity! Grand Duke Luo was so rich and an upright official that he certainly had many wives and concubines at home, so he also had many children. Among them was a little beauty whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, a girl named Luo Xiaohe. She was born to him and his stepmother Zhu (granddaughter of Zhu Dadian). She was the most beautiful and smartest among Luo Grand Duke's daughters, so naturally Luo Grand Official had high hopes for her.
