"It stands to reason that this old slave has been responsible for delivering draft orders for so many years, but he has never received such an order."
"It can be seen that His Majesty likes the Marquis and also the Second Young Lady!"
"Please also ask the Marquis to help the second lady prepare. In ten days, the general election will be held."
Although his father-in-law had already said so, Yu Chengguang was still worried.
Then he added, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Isn't this what Du Zhaoyi was like three years ago? But in the end he became..."
The old eunuch immediately made a shushing gesture towards him and said anxiously, "Master Marquis, how can you say this!"
Seeing that there was no one around, he approached Yu Chengguang and said, "That is not what Your Majesty meant at all, it was what the Queen Mother meant!"
"Who dares to disobey the Queen Mother?"
Yu Chengguang nodded thoughtfully. He had vaguely heard about Du Zhaoyi and King Chengan back then.
I thought it was Du Zhaoyi's greed for vanity, but I didn't expect it was the Queen Mother's intention...
That's right, the Queen Mother was so fond of Xie Zhun, how could she allow him to be entangled with a concubine from a petty official family?
During these ten days, Yu Nianchu carefully planned the draft for the palace.
First of all, she has to enter the palace and become a female official, so that she can get close to those who are suspected one by one.
Queen mother, emperor, uncle, noble concubine.
Among these four people, the most approachable seems to be the imperial concubine.
She silently dipped her brush into red cinnabar and circled the concubine's name on the paper.
…
The ten-day period has arrived, and Yu Nianchu has prepared everything early.
She was wearing a light purple dress, elegant but not outstanding.
According to Yu Nianchu's guess, the emperor was good friends with his father and had an old relationship with his mother.
He probably wouldn't choose himself to be the concubine in the palace.
As for the Queen Mother, she didn't like herself at all, let alone let herself get close to the emperor.
The only thing she worried about was whether the emperor would marry her on the spot...
Although among the emperor's sons, only the crown prince and the second prince reached adulthood, there were still quite a few other kings with different surnames.
With this idea in mind, she was driven out in tears by Yu Chengguang, who was sent to the sedan chair to welcome the beautiful lady.
According to the official status of each family, Yu Nianchu shared the ride with three other girls from the Hou family.
As soon as she got into the car, two girls covered their noses and squeezed in as hard as they could, as if Yu Nianchu was some dirty thing.
Miss He: "Oh my God, how come she can still enter the palace... A person who was defiled by bandits is really dirty!"
Miss Kang: "That's right, we are also unlucky, why are we with her!"
With that said, the two of them crowded together, and only the girl in yellow with big eyes greeted Yu Nianchu with a smile on her face.
Yu Nianchu also responded with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the two girls refused to let go and insisted on grabbing the girl in yellow.
: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being infected by dirty shoes?"
The girl in yellow suddenly flicked her sleeves and said, "You guys look like dirt to me!"
"Miss Yu was trying to save the third princess. How could she be as bad as you say?"
"While there is this world, why not think about the draft later."
The girl in yellow raised her head proudly, and then moved closer to Yu Nianchu.
"Hehe, Miss Yu, don't listen to them. I think you are a brave and good girl!"
"My name is Shi Yulan, what's your name?"
Yu Nianchu responded friendly, "Hello, Miss Shi, my name is Yu Nianchu."
Shi Yulan was a talkative person. She felt that Yu Nianchu was kind and that he was the one who had saved the princess, so she kept taking the initiative to talk to her.
But Yu Nianchu has always been very reserved and has never said a few useful words in total.
Shi Yulan was anxious. She felt that Yu Nianchu didn't believe her, so she had to tell her most important things to show her sincerity.
"Miss Yu, I entered the palace for the sake of the second prince, what about you?"
She spoke extremely quietly, for fear that the two other girls would hear her.
Yu Nianchu was shocked. She had never seen such a helpless girl.
Seeing that she had just spoken for herself, she had no choice but to give him a kind reminder.
"Miss Shi, it's better to keep some things in your heart."
"As for me entering the palace - it's not for anyone else, I'm just following the imperial edict."
Shi Yulan frowned and pouted her mouth.
"Miss Yu, you are so cold and indifferent. It's not fun."
Yu Nianchu nodded politely again, "I'm sorry to disappoint Miss Shi."
After that, Shi Yulan didn't talk to her again.
After entering the palace, the nuns lined up according to the list.
Yu Nianchu and Shi Yulan were both in the second batch.
Yu Nianchu was still wondering, if the emperor wanted to grant her a marriage, to whom would he give her...
You have to guess this person early so that you can deal with it in advance.
It's just that there are too many kings with different surnames, and she doesn't know them all. I'm afraid she will have to adapt to them later.
While I was thinking, the first group of show girls had already come out with depressed faces.
Although they were of high status, they were not chosen. One of them offered to be given to Xie Zhun as a concubine, but Xie Zhun refused.
Xie Zhun even called someone ugly in front of everyone...
Yu Nianchu sighed silently, he should have ordered a few more pockmarks before going out...
Just as the second batch of beautiful ladies were about to enter the palace, a familiar figure appeared in front of Yu Nianchu.
It's a lark.
At this time, she had changed into a simple palace maid's dress and walked towards Yu Nianchu vigorously.
"Oh, the second young lady walked so fast, I almost didn't catch up with you."
As she said that, she took out a small box, pulled Yu Nianchu aside, and said loudly, "My make-up is all ruined, I will help you touch it up."
Yunque took out the paintbrush, used rouge to outline a delicate flower pattern on Yu Nianchu's eyebrows, and inserted a conspicuous amber hairpin into her head.
Skylark whispered, "Remember, amber is your favorite thing."
After saying that, Hibari politely withdrew.
"amber……"
A few days ago, she investigated some kings with different surnames, including one from Mongolia named Ashina Gedan.
He hates amber by nature and has always regarded amber as an ominous thing.
In this way, the emperor's chosen marriage partner should be this prince.
If I remember correctly, in addition to Amber, this prince also hates women who play coquettishly and weakly.
Yu Nianchu curled his lips and instantly knew what to do.
The second batch of beautiful ladies followed the leading eunuch and entered the splendid hall together.
Now, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are sitting above, and there are various princes and dignitaries on both sides.
The old eunuch opened the list and shouted, "Shi Yulan, the daughter of Shi Ping'an, the Minister of Household Affairs, is seventeen years old."
Shi Yulan obediently bowed and said sweetly, "My dear Shi Yulan is here to see the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Long live the Emperor, long live the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years~"
The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile, "She is Shi Aiqing's daughter. Look up."
As Shi Yulan raised her head, her bright and charming face immediately attracted the Queen Mother's attention.
This girl is good-looking, and her father's official position is not low. Maybe she can be a concubine for her son.
