"A maid from Concubine Wen's palace?"
Sheng Yuan's first reaction was, could it be someone sent by Sheng Han?
"Concubine Wen, do you know your sister-in-law's family?" Anyu spoke quickly and guessed in front of Shengyuan.
"Maybe we can't rule out this possibility!" Sheng Yuan touched her round chin and quietly reviewed herself.
How could such a lovely lady think of people in such complicated ways? !
You still have to learn from Anyu's way of not using his brain easily.
"I saw this palace maid when my father and I went to the palace banquet. She was loaned out by Tai'an Palace to help."
"A maid from Tai'an Palace?" Sheng Yuan thought thoughtfully.
Tai'an Palace is the palace where the concubines left by the late emperor are housed. There are a number of palace ladies and concubines who are not exclusive to any one concubine or concubine.
If this is the case, Anyu's guess is wrong.
Is it really related to Sheng Han?
"My aunt Qian'er told me not to walk around the palace for nothing, for fear of attracting someone who won't be chosen." Anyu felt that this might be an allusion to Sheng Han.
"Can't draft a show? This can't be done! I heard from my father that the first assistant persuaded the emperor after all, saying that this was the first draft since the emperor ascended the throne, and it should follow the old rules. As for the emperor's proposal that non-show talent should not be drafted, It can be pushed to the next term. From this point of view, Sister Yuan’s cousin is qualified to participate in the draft. Besides, if she can’t participate in the draft, why doesn’t the emperor ask her to leave the palace? "
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Sheng Yuan and asked additionally: "Sister Yuan, your cousin has not left the palace, has she?"
"Probably not?" Sheng Yuan thought for a moment and shook her head.
Although she has not heard anything outside the window recently, if there is something new in Shengguo Palace, her father will definitely come back. Since her father has not mentioned it, it means there is nothing.
"Let me tell you, I heard my aunt talking to my cousin, saying that if His Majesty cannot choose a suitable daughter-in-law this time, he will first arrange concubines for the princes and wait until the right one is found."
Anyu remembered the news he had forgotten to tell his friends and hurriedly told them.
Lu Sheng clapped his hands: "It seems that I remembered it correctly. Your Majesty probably does not require any merit in this draft! In this way, the next batch of show girls will be better."
"You can't say that. This year we have Sister Yuan and Sister An!" Anyu raised his hand in disapproval and made a big cross in front of him.
He believed that no girl would be better than Sheng Yuan. Even if someone could beat Sheng Yuan individually, they would still be defeated by force.
He had never mentioned this idea that had nothing to do with justice to his friends, but he mentioned it when chatting with his aunt. For this reason, his cousin Princess Yuanning specially customized a mallet with a few A princess chased him and beat him, causing him to hide in front of the emperor's uncle for a long time.
Of course, a loser does not lose. Although under the arrangement of his aunt and the emperor's uncle, he held an apology banquet to invite his cousin and the others, his apology was an apology, but he had the best idea about Sister Yuan, and he never changed his mind until the end. There's nothing I can do about it, he's just so courageous!
Sheng Yuan didn't know that Anyu was once so wealthy. She was pinching the flesh on her lower jaw, like a wise man stroking his beard, squinting her beautiful big eyes and wondering why this palace maid found Shu Yajing.
And Lu Sheng still made a distinction: "I'm talking about universal talent! Do you understand? In this draft, Sister Yuan is just going through the motions. She is so lazy, how can she bother to compete with others? Sister Anhui is very good. He might stand out in the draft."
"Lazy?!" Sheng Yuan's ears twitched and her attention popped out of her thoughts.
"I mean you are lazy by nature and are not willing to use your brain and show your talent for boring things!"
Lu Sheng faced the gazes of his two friends and hurriedly differentiated them.
"Oh..." Sheng Yuan had no intention of arguing with him.
She had made an agreement with the Queen Mother that if her sister didn't need her company, she would hang out with the crowd in the Juxian Palace during the day and live in the Cining Palace in the evening.
"Sister Yuan, what do you think of us detaining the palace maid and asking her why she left the palace?" An Yu noticed that the palace maid and the Shu family girl were about to leave after talking, and quickly shook Sheng Yuan's arm.
"Do you think you are an internal guard?" Lu Sheng thought he heard wrongly. Maybe his ears had his own ideas, otherwise how could he hear such crazy suggestions!
"Brother Yu, do you know? You will be severely punished for seducing someone from the palace! You don't want to be the Marquis of Ancheng anymore!"
Facing his friend's extremely shocked face, Anyu felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill: "We are just chatting with her, neither hitting nor scolding her, nor can we have a friendly conversation?"
"..." Lu Sheng looked at his friend's face, which was trying to be sincere, and felt that what he said was different from what he wanted to do.
"Sister Yuan? Don't think about it! If you think about it again, she will go away! What do you think? Have one?" Anyu rubbed his hands and encouraged him excitedly.
Sheng Yuan looked at the kid in front of him who was suffocating himself with exams, patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and sighed: "Brother Yu, we are adults. When we do things, we must improve efficiency and reduce wasted effort."
"???" Anyu didn't understand.
He pointed out in confusion: "Yuan, Sister Yuan, that palace maid is about to leave!"
"She is not the point! The point is to make her tell the truth." Sheng Yuan's eyes seemed to have a gleam of wisdom that flickered in and out, "Who can make her tell the truth?"
"..." Anyu scratched his head, and after his linear thinking became a maze, he gradually became orderly. Looking at Sheng Yuan's encouraging eyes, he swallowed his saliva and said tentatively, "I, I... go back to the palace and talk to the emperor's uncle. .”
He is not an internal guard, he can ask the emperor who can mobilize the internal guards for help!
"Smart!" Sheng Yuan heard this and immediately raised her big finger to praise.
Although the candidate she thought of was Concubine Wen, as the head of Tai'an Palace, she was the most qualified to take care of this matter.
…
"Miss Shu Er, our wife invites you."
When Fanxu appeared in Shu Yajing's courtyard, Mrs. Shu was telling her about sending her to Duke Sheng's Mansion to learn etiquette from the palace maids along with the girls in the mansion.
"Fan Xu?" Mrs. Shu was a little surprised when she heard this, "What does Madam want from Sister Jing?"
Fanxu smiled and replied: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the draft."
Shu's eyes moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Look at this time, it's almost time for dinner, so I might as well follow. It just happens to be my wife's delicious food!"
Fanxu didn't object, and just said: "Madam specially asked the cook to make tea for Shancheng, and said it was for Miss Shu Er to enjoy."
"That's better!" Mrs. Shu smiled and clapped her hands, stood up, held up the handkerchief and stroked her hair, turned around and took her sister Shu Yajing's hand, and walked out swayingly.
…
"My daughter-in-law has given me a gift for my wife."
"Brother Xin's daughter-in-law is here too? Hurry, you sisters, come and sit together."
Mrs. Zheng, who was pruning flower branches, was not surprised when she saw Mrs. Shu following her. She nodded with a smile and walked to the refreshment table next to her.
