The lantern festival arrived soon. Under the recommendation of the Queen Mother, Fu Miao was pushed to the C position next to the little emperor, which immediately attracted the attention of many ladies from aristocratic families.
Fu Miao was one year younger than the emperor, and was in her prime. Lu Xianchen thought to himself that the country's current laws stipulated that girls under the age of fourteen were considered young girls. He felt that he should also consider the legal issues after the little emperor's infatuation and single-mindedness. Then What can't be done so early? It's a crime.
Lu Xianchen didn't know what he was thinking about the 21st century, but he just thought that readers from the 21st century would definitely want to read content that abides by laws and regulations.
Well, yes, it’s all for the readers.
Fu Miaoxiang was chosen by the Empress Dowager from among the daughters of the Fu family. She was smart and cute, the kind that made people feel happy just by looking at her. She was also humble and sensible, well-mannered and enthusiastic. She always had a sweet mouth when she saw Lu Xianchen. no.
"Sister Xianchen, can I call you that too?" Fu Miao asked.
"Okay, Miss Fu, you can call her whatever you want," Lu Xianchen said.
In costume dramas, Fu Miao is a woman who enters the palace with the support of the Queen Mother, and usually does well.
But generally not the heroine.
No, no, I have to let her give it to me. Yes, what’s wrong with the cute, innocent, non-threatening girl chosen by my family?
As for the remaining group of people, Lu Xianchen mainly paid attention to two people——
Zhan Jinlian, the sixth daughter of Prince Zhongxin, and Liang Xi, the cousin of the Liang family.
Especially the one in front.
Prince Zhongxin's Palace is the grand palace, and Prince Zhongxin certainly has more than one heir. As the prince of the palace, Zhan Jinyou always occupies the direct lineage rather than the eldest son, and the fighting inside becomes a pot of porridge.
Zhan Jinyou had no feelings for the brothers and sisters born from his concubine and his subsequent stepwives. The only girl from the same mother who was placed in the palm of Zhan Shizi's hand was this sixth sister.
Zhan Jinlian is also the one with the best and most upright background among these thirty girls.
This Miss Zhan was even younger, no more than 12 years old, and she was reported here. Her nature was probably similar to that of Su Fengyao who was sent to the Yuanlu Sect.
In the original work, this is a girl who will be a heroine in the future. She joined the Yuanlu sect at the age of three and studied under her master. She is a rare being among the children of aristocratic families who can learn true skills. Later, she learned how to survive the Great Hong Dynasty. Only then was he called back by his father. The long sword was unsheathed and no one could take it.
She is also the heroine's best friend later on.
Now he came back early for the purpose of entering the palace.
Compared to Fu Miao, who seemed to be in high spirits, Zhan Jinlian was obviously heavy and reluctant. Among the row of excited girls, she looked particularly bitter.
Lu Xianchen felt a burst of sadness in her heart, she was another girl who had been tortured by feudal education.
I was thinking about whether I could sift her out.
The other cousin of Liang Binzhu, Liang Xi, is much simpler. Like most of the girls who came here, her parents heard about this and sent her to the palace. She is a young lady from the direct line and a collateral line. She is just a little transparent person who makes up the numbers, used to express the Liang family's position.
Even Lu Xianchen paid attention to her purely because her surname was Liang and she was the cousin of one of the male protagonists.
Well, Shen Feng is an orphan, and he only needs Wang Weice's sister. Su Fengmo's harem has gathered the achievements of the heroine first.
And why doesn’t Wang Weice have any clan sisters enter the palace? It's not that he doesn't want to, it's mainly because there is no suitable one. He comes from a poor family and his family is relatively small. His older sisters are either married or too young to find anyone in their teens.
Fu Miao was gentle and cute, while Zhan Jinlian was aloof and indifferent to everyone. They were the closest to the emperor. They were standing next to Su Fengmo, one on the left and the other on the right, feeling inexplicably happy.
"The choice of concubine this time mainly depends on His Majesty's wishes," Lu Xianchen said, "Your Majesty can speak out about any girl he likes. If a girl is interested in His Majesty, she can also take the initiative to tell her."
"I," Zhan Jinlian raised his hand first, "I have no interest in Your Majesty, can I leave first?"
He didn't expect that the lady from Zhongxin Palace would be so straightforward. Lu Xianchen was slightly startled. The first thing that came to his mind was that Miss Zhan's performance was good, just right enough to counter Su Fengyao's rude behavior of breaking off the engagement. Neutralized, in this way, neither the royal family nor Prince Zhongxin owes anything to the other.
"If Miss Zhan is unintentional, I won't be able to stop her." Lu Xianchen said, "Talents and beauties are all about what you want and what you want. If the eldest princess can refuse an unwilling marriage, Miss Zhan can naturally do the same. .”
Zhan Jinlian didn't hear the twists and turns in Lu Xianchen's words. He just said that he didn't want to enter the palace, so he thanked Dr. Lu for making it happen.
With that said, he left the big team and went to drink tea leisurely by himself.
Very good, girl, I encourage you to pursue a free character.
There is an empty seat on the right side of the emperor. The remaining official ladies are all from similar family backgrounds, and no one dares to step forward to compete for favor.
"Two fishes? The answer to this lantern riddle is that they help each other, right?" Fu Miao picked up a lantern and said with a smile.
"Yes, Miss Fu is really smart and knows this story of mutual friendship." Lu Xianchen said.
Fu Miao nodded: "Yes, my wish is to get the person I love and stay with me."
She said, looking at the little emperor, but Su Fengmo was also looking at the lantern riddles and did not look at Fu Miao.
There was also another girl who asked for a trick. She specially found a riddle with a love heart and a pair of wings. She guessed: "I think this must be a bird wishing to fly together in heaven to stay and fly with the one I love."
"No," Lu Xianchen shook his head, "This is not the answer to this riddle."
"Could it be that they are close to each other? Or do they belong to each other?" Someone else came up and speculated, their eyes involuntarily glanced at Su Fengmo.
The little emperor seemed to be obsessed with the riddle in his hand, and didn't even look at them.
Several people gathered around Lu Xianchen and made lively guesses before someone finally guessed the answer, which was "be cautious".
It was Liang Xi who guessed the answer.
"Very good, Miss Liang Xi also got a point," Lu Xianchen drew a stroke after the name "Liang Xi", "Others should also work hard."
This lantern riddle guessing activity adopts a points system. Although who will be chosen in the end depends on the attitude of the little emperor, this kind of competition also makes a group of Yingying Yanyan become competitive.
Lu Xianchen finally got to take a rest and leaned to the side, looking at the bright lights.
She actually likes the lively atmosphere of the lantern festival. Even if she can't blend in, she still likes to watch from the sidelines and watch the quiet time beneath the hustle and bustle.
Of course, this does not include the fact that these girls pushed Su Fengmo around and deliberately stepped on each other's skirts from time to time, and then said hypocritically, "I didn't mean it."
Lu Xianchen watched from the side with an indifferent expression, watching the girl hugging Su Fengmo playfully, thinking that she must not accept someone who could act well and be a drama queen.
Quickly make a few strokes on the booklet and sift through it, no more.
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t want to want——
Ah, there is no one who is not crazy when writing articles, and there is no one who is not crazy when revising articles!
Fu Miao also guessed a few lantern riddles. Looking at Lu Xianchen on the side, he couldn't help but talk to her.
"I heard that the lantern festival is managed by Dr. Lu?"
Lu Xianchen's mood became worse and worse when he came in. He endured it and managed a smile: "Yes, what do you think of Miss Fu?"
"There are only a few people in total, and it's not as lively as the fun I had on Nancheng Street before." Fu Miao said.
"Yeah, I'm not very organized either." Lu Xianchen said depressedly.
"No, I definitely didn't mean that," Fu Miao said repeatedly, "I admire Dr. Lu for being able to arrange all this in an orderly manner. If it were someone else, she would have been in a hurry."
"Miss Fu can do better." Lu Xianchen rolled his eyes.
Fu Miao heard what she meant and said, "I don't dare."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. No one in the palace is bigger than the Queen Mother now. She intends to support Miss Fu, so there's no need for Miss Fu to pretend to be stupid," Lu Xianchen said, "Xianchen will keep in mind the Queen Mother's instructions. I hope Miss Fu can rest assured."
"So, will Sister Xianchen bless me to become a concubine?" Fu Miao asked directly.
Lu Xianchen was stunned: "Yes, I will follow the Queen Mother's wishes."
"But the way I looked at Dr. Lu has been staring at His Majesty since she came in." Fu Miao said.
Lu Xianchen rolled his eyes, looked at Fu Miao, and said harshly: "No, I'm just here, watching the lantern festival."
I'm just helping the little emperor see which one is suitable to be his concubine.
"Sister Xianchen, you can't hide your concern for someone's eyes. I can see that you care about His Majesty very much." Fu Miao handed the lamp in his hand to Lu Xianchen, which was the riddle of "mutually beneficial" just now.
"What do you mean, Miss Fu?" Lu Xianchen couldn't react for a while.
Fu Miaowei smiled slightly: "I mean, Sister Xianchen's lantern festival was really well done. The Queen Mother will definitely be satisfied."
Why did you suddenly mention the Queen Mother at this time?
Just as Lu Xianchen was thinking, he saw Su Fengmo, who was surrounded by a group of girls, slowly turning his head back, and the two happened to look at each other.
It was obvious that they just looked at each other, but Lu Xianchen seemed to feel what Su Fengmo was about to say.
The young man frowned, as if he wanted to ask for help.
——Sister Xianchen, I don’t like being surrounded by so many people.
——Can you come to rescue me?
"The Queen Mother is very satisfied with the banquet hosted by Dr. Lu..." Fu Miaoka clicked.
With these words in Lu Xianchen's ears, his eyes met Su Fengmo's, and for a moment, his mood suddenly broadened.
She stood up and walked in the direction of Su Feng Mofa, politely greeting a group of girls so that they could disperse and walk around instead of gathering together.
"Your Majesty, you can concentrate on guessing the riddles now."
Just as he was talking, it was time to set off the fireworks, and suddenly there was a loud noise from behind, and fireworks like sparkling trees and silver flowers opened up all over the eyes.
Lu Xianchen turned her head, and the sparks in the sky were reflected in her eyes.
"These fireworks are so beautiful!" Lu Xianchen's worries all night were eliminated by the brilliant light of the fireworks.
Su Fengmo looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart "thumped", as if he had some emotions that he could no longer hide.
