Li Zhi walked away with the second princess in his arms.

Chen Qingqing quietly stroked the things in the palm of his right hand, and it was as thin as...leaf.

While Shen Jiarong was discussing Li Zhi and the second princess, Chen Qingqing pretended to appreciate the lotus flowers in the pond, then turned his back to the two girls and opened the fist that had been clenched for a while. He looked down and saw that it was really a rose leaf.

But there are words on the leaves of this rose, which seem to be drawn with pointed objects such as fine needles.

Chen Qingqing raised the leaves high.

There is a sentence in the main veins of the leaves, which is: If I had known you were here, I would have brought the peony.

Chen Qingqing:...

The one embroidered on her embroidered shoes is exactly peony, so peony refers to her embroidered shoes, but this is the home of her fourth sister and her husband. Today, the fourth sister's house is washed three times. How could Li Zhi not expect her to come?

The villain who is untrustworthy just doesn't want to return her shoes, just keeps hanging her and playing with her!

Tear the leaves and threw them into the water hatefully.

Li Zhi stayed in the Han Mansion for a moment before leaving, and sent the second princess back to the Yichun Palace of Concubine Chun.

"Mom!" The second princess walked with her short legs and happily threw herself into her mother's arms.

The Concubine Chun favored the harem, but in her territory, she dressed up very simply, only wearing a pair of Xiangfei-colored pairs, and a pair of apricot hairpin between her black bun. But with plain makeup, some people will be dim and colorless, such as Queen Chen, who is born with beautiful beauty, and every frown and smile is touching.

"Where did my uncle take Wanwan to play?" Concubine Chun asked with a smile when she hugged her daughter.

The second princess looked at her uncle who was sitting beside her and replied clearly: "Uncle took me to the Han Mansion. Mrs. Han's son was three days old today, but I didn't see her son, but I only saw three beautiful sisters."

Li Zhi just picked up a bowl of tea, but he almost choked when he heard this.

Concubine Chun looked at her brother in surprise, and her beautiful sister, and she met three at once?

Li Zhi continued to drink tea as if nothing happened.

Knowing that his brother would not take the initiative to explain, Concubine Chun immediately asked her daughter: "Do you know all three sisters, Wanwan?"

The second princess nodded: "There are two nieces of the Queen. I have seen them in the palace, and there is also a sister Chen. I forgot what her name is, and she is the most beautiful."

Concubine Chun was still very familiar with the situation of the Shen family. She immediately guessed that the most beautiful girl Chen in her daughter's mouth was Chen Qingqing, the youngest granddaughter of Chen Ge. Chen Qingqing entered the palace when she was young, and Concubine Chun had seen her several times. She remembered that she was a little beauty. Now many years have passed, and the little beauty must have become a great beauty.

Concubine Chun looked at her brother suspiciously. Han Yan was indeed the subordinate of her brother. Her brother was busy and usually would not attend a banquet like anyone's house. But today, the elder brother not only went there, but also deliberately took his daughter. If he said that his brother had no special intention, Concubine Chun would never believe it.

"Where did you see them?" Concubine Chun stared at her brother and asked her daughter.

Li Zhi glanced at his sister.

Concubine Chun smiled.

The second princess said obediently: "The garden, my uncle said there are many flowers in the Han family garden and I want to carry me to see it, but my uncle lied that there are only roses and lotus flowers there." When he said that, the second princess felt very aggrieved.

Concubine Chun had guessed the problem and asked the wet nurse to carry her daughter to rest. She waved the balloon and walked to her brother, and sat down while teasing: "Brother is the most polite. Why did he go to other people's back garden today?"

Li Zhi smiled but said nothing.

Concubine Chun's eyes lit up and she expressed her guess in her heart: "Does your brother fall in love with the seventh girl of the Shen family?"

Shen Jiarong and Shen Jiayi have been staying in the capital. If the elder brother had any intention, he would have taken action long ago, so the elder brother's abnormality this time could only be for Chen Qi.

Li Zhi turned around the tea bowl in his hand and lowered his eyes and said, "The little girl is pretty."

This is an admission.

The elder brother, who was aged, was finally moved. Concubine Chun was happy at first, and then frowned and said, "Using my brother's conditions, it is easy to marry a noble lady from a famous family, but the Shen family is probably not willing to do so." Empress Chen and the prince hated her so much that they hated her. Can Mr. Chen marry her granddaughter to her brother?

Concubine Chun is not optimistic about this marriage.

Li Zhi shook his head, put down the tea bowl and said, "My sister is worried too much. I just think she looks okay and doesn't need to marry her."

This is the truth. Since coming to the capital, Li Zhi has seen too many glamorous ladies. No matter what kind of temperament in private, everyone is dignified and polite on the surface. Only Chen Qingqing let him see her smart and cute side, so Li Zhi couldn't help but tease the little girl a few times to see how angry she was.

I have a good impression, but it is still far from talking about marriage.

The elder brother never talks with him. Concubine Chun immediately believed what Li Zhi said just now. She was a little disappointed and was about to urge his elder brother to marry soon. Concubine Chun suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. Last night, the emperor said that he would be a talent show for the prince in the near future. At that time, the lady of the right age in the capital will be selected into the palace. The three sisters of the Shen family are beautiful and have a relative relationship with the East Palace. It is very likely that they will be selected. It's okay if you don't like the Seventh Girl, but you are afraid that you will understand your feelings and have become someone else's wife."

Draft?

Li Zhi was a little surprised: "So quickly?"

Concubine Chun sarcastically said mercilessly: "The prince is eighteen. Do you think everyone is as unfamiliar as you?"

Li Zhi smiled bitterly.

Others' families are all mothers urging their son to get married as soon as possible, but he is forced to get married by his sister repeatedly.

"I have something to do, let's go first." Li Zhi stood up and strode away.

Concubine Chun looked at her brother's slender and upright back and sighed softly. She looked gentle and elegant but actually conceited. What kind of sister-in-law do she want to find her?

Concubine Chun did not deceive her brother. A few days later, Emperor Qingde announced in the morning court that he would give a speech for the prince and ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle it immediately.

This time, the show girl was only selected at the Beijing official girl's girl's middle school. The Ministry of Rites has conducted many talent shows. I have long known that some officials will seize the time to make a marriage for their daughter in order not to allow their daughter to enter the palace. But the Ministry of Rites cannot stand idly by. What if the official girl is decided to go out and they can't find enough ladies to offer to the Tian family?

Therefore, on the second day of the imperial edict, the Ministry of Rites sent officials to the homes of various officials in the capital to register the list of women.

The speed of the Ministry of Rites caught many officials off guard.

Chen Tingwen and his wife were confused by the neat behavior of the Ministry of Rites. Last night, the couple discussed that even if they lowered their requirements, they would set their daughter out as soon as possible. However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites walked up the door the next day and directly wrote their daughter's name on it?

The couple was very worried.

Chen Qingqing didn't take this talent show seriously at all. While eating grapes, she comforted her parents: "Mom, what are you afraid of? My aunt obviously doesn't like me, she can't keep me."

Chen frowned and said, "She will definitely not let you be the crown princess, but the palace has spent a lot of time on the talent show. Do you think it will be fine after picking the crown princess? Qingqing, the crown prince has two positions, and in addition to the concubine, there are ordinary concubines..."

Chen Qingqing widened her eyes and stopped eating grapes: "Does she still want me to be a concubine for the prince?"

Chen did not answer, but her eyes had already revealed her concerns.

Chen Qingqing could no longer feel relaxed.

Chen Tingwen couldn't bear it and coughed. He whispered: "You don't have to worry. Jiarong Changqingqing is two years old and is more sensible than Qingqing. She is also the prince's legitimate cousin. If the empress really wants to choose from her nieces, she will definitely choose Jiarong. If she chooses Jiarong, there is no reason to choose Qingqing or Jiayi again."

How could an aunt choose a niece as her son’s wife or a concubine? Even if she has the intention, she still has to take into account the face of her mother’s family. The old man is so strict that the queen dares not anger the old man.

Chen Qingqing looked at her mother, and Chen also looked at her daughter. Her eyes met, and both the mother and the mother laughed.

"It's your father who is considerate." Chen said with relief.

Chen Qingqing nodded and agreed. If it weren't for her father's words, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Three days later, the girls of the Shen family will enter the palace and wait for selection.

Shen Jiayi and Chen Qingqing had the same thoughts. They neither wanted to be selected nor were they worried about being selected, so both the sisters looked relaxed.

Shen Jiarong was different. Before getting on the car, she was nervously holding the eldest lady's hand, nervously, uneasy.

The eldest lady touched her daughter's head and said confidently: "Don't worry, if your niece enters the palace, how can the empress not give her family decent? Since she will definitely give her decent, who is more suitable than you?"

In the eldest lady's heart, the position of the Crown Princess is her daughter.

Shen Jia couldn't help but glance at Chen Qingqing. She still remembered the look of the prince's cousin looking at Chen Qingqing last time.

"Okay, get in the car, relax after entering the palace, don't show your timidity, and make people laugh." The eldest lady finally told her daughter.

Shen Jiarong had no choice but to respond.

After the first round of body and appearance inspection, more than 50 showgirls successfully entered Chuxiu Palace.

When the beautiful girl entered the palace, the prince Zhao Ji was refreshed. Before the next round of the selection of the beautiful girl, he went to greet Queen Chen in advance: "Mother, my son-in-law wants to marry Qingqing's cousin as the crown prince's concubine."

Queen Chen held the list of show girls in her hand, but she didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard this: "She looks charming and wants to enjoy herself, and she is not worthy of being the crown princess."

Zhao Ji frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who does the mother think is suitable?"

Queen Chen then glanced at her son, then clicked a name on the list of the show girls.

Zhao Ji lowered his head and said in surprise: "Zhou Ya, the daughter of the Duke of Protecting the Country?"

Queen Chen nodded: "Zhou Ya has a beautiful face and dignified manners, which is very suitable for you."

Zhao Ji was not stupid, but Duke Huguo guarded the border. He knew that his mother liked the military power in Duke Huguo's hands. He just wondered: "My grandfather is the old master..."

Queen Chen interrupted her son lightly and said, "He really wants to help you. The relationship between blood relatives is enough, otherwise it would be futile to get married."

Zhao Ji understood and thought for a moment. He smiled apologized and said, "I listen to my mother's queen, but I like my cousin, so how about letting her be a concubine for me? I promise you that as long as you follow my son's wishes, I will never disappoint you in the future."

Queen Chen looked at her son: "You are serious about this?"

Zhao Ji immediately had to swear to the sky.

Queen Chen pulled down her son's hand and said with a grudge: "Okay, I will answer you once, if you are addicted to beauty and abandon..."

"My son will never dare!" Zhao Ji interrupted his mother with a smile, his eyes bright, and he was excited about his soon-to-be-obtaining beauty.

When Queen Chen saw her, she was helpless and relieved.
