The emperor asked questions one by one, and the questions they asked were similar, and the answers given by those people were also similar.
How old are you, what books have you studied, and what do you do when you have free time?
These children who can pass five levels and kill six generals and finally stand in the Changning Hall are definitely not fools.
Apart from being a little nervous in front of the emperor, they all respond in a clear and logical manner.
It is obvious at a glance that they may have practiced it at home beforehand.
Xie Ning looked at their performance, and for some reason suddenly remembered the interview he had to go through when he entered the palace.
It's really similar, but that was a selection of beauties, and the ones chosen here can barely be considered talents.
The answers are not exactly the same.
Some of these people started enlightenment early, some had already entered the official school, and had dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics.
Others usually study less.
For example, the tallest one, his surname is Guan, and his grandfather is Zhongxinhou.
When the emperor asked him, he honestly answered that he didn’t like studying very much.
In his free time, he loved horse racing and hunting. .
This answer naturally made other people look at him.
This is a choice of reading companion, reading companion, of course he has to study.
This guy actually said he doesn't like studying, so what is he doing here today?
His family didn't teach him how to reply, even if he pretends, he has to pretend first.
He looks like he loves to read.
Xie Ning thought the same way at first, but after thinking about it, he was showing his sincerity by doing this.
Otherwise, if he was bragging about it in front of the emperor, he would be deceiving him in all seriousness.
This can deceive you for a while, but not forever.
When you are really selected, your true identity will be revealed when you get along with him.
Wouldn't the emperor be angry then?
To be honest, it was different.
Regardless of whether he was worthy of being a companion, he had left a clear impression on the emperor, and his trip was not in vain.
Who says someone is stupid but this is called smart?
Of course, the smart one may not be the kid standing here, but his family members.
Xie Ning thought of what the emperor said before.
The emperor told her yesterday evening that if the Lin family had children of similar age, there would be no need to choose someone this time.
It is also a common practice for relatives to serve as companions, which can be regarded as a step into the family of the concubines.
Although people always equate foreign relatives with treacherous ministers, but who does not promote acquaintances?
Xie Ning recalled that the emperor's companions were the Queen Mother's family, and quickly shook his head.
Fortunately, the Lin family didn't have such a big child.
Even if they did, Xie Ning didn't really want them to come to the palace as companions.
The situation in the palace is too complicated.
As I look at the scenery, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching.
Even a small mistake may lead to a big disaster.
The children of the Lin family are not unable to deal with such complicated schemes.
Of course, Xie Ning still had to thank the emperor for his kindness, but it was a pity that he had to miss it.
But the emperor said again: "It doesn't matter, I can't make it this time, just next time."
This means that when the second prince wants to go to school, he will still have to choose someone from the Lin family.
At that time, there will be no way to say that he is not of the right age, because as far as Xie Ning knows, the eldest cousin’s first-born son should be the same as Yu.
Princess Yao is about the same age, and the second birth is a daughter.
And the second cousin has also gotten married, and the birth of a child will happen this year, so he is really old enough.
Xie Ning was thinking about this, but Princess Yuyao suddenly opened the curtain and walked out without warning.

Before Xie Ning could say anything, everyone outside had already seen her.
Of course they knew there was someone behind the curtain, but it was clearer when looking out from inside the curtain, but when looking in from the outside, they could only see shadowy figures.
Now everyone in the capital knows that the imperial concubine is favored and the eldest prince is also raised in Yong'an Palace, so there is no need to ask who is behind the curtain.
Unexpectedly, the curtain moved and a short girl came out.
At this age and in this dress, anyone can guess her identity, except Princess Yuyao.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Princess Yuyao walked to the eldest prince openly and looked at these people openly.
The emperor was not willing to scold his daughter.
In his opinion, Princess Yuyao's illness has gradually improved these days.
It is rare for her to be interested in going out on her own, so the emperor will naturally not stop her.
Anyway, these are half-grown children outside, and Princess Yuyao is even younger, far from the time to pay attention to the defense of men and women.
"This is Princess Yuyao."
When the emperor said this, the children all bowed to the princess.
Despite this unexpected incident, I still have to continue choosing a companion.
The emperor has already asked about the last person.
This is the grandson of Duke Wei.
I don’t know whether he inquired about the information in advance or it was a coincidence.
When he answered the emperor’s question, he said that he liked music and was involved in playing the piano and flute.
This statement is modest.
If he really only scratched the surface, he would not mention it in front of the emperor at all.
Since it is said that he has dabbled in it, it means that he has actually attained a certain level, at least not at the level of a beginner.
If he had inquired about the eldest prince's preferences and learned them now, he would not have spoken out so confidently.
It was a coincidence that not long after the eldest prince started learning music, he met someone who also loved music.
It could be said to be fate.
Xie Ning carefully looked at the grandson of Duke Wei.
Although he was not very old, he could tell from his current appearance that he would be a handsome young man in a few years.
He spoke calmly and behaved in a measured manner. , standing among a group of half-grown children who are trying to support adults feels a bit like standing out from the crowd.
He is indeed outstanding.
Even without the music, Xie Ning feels that he is still better than others.
Based on Xie Ning's understanding of the eldest prince, he probably wouldn't be interested in a child like the grandson of Marquis Zhongxin, who is crude, naive and straightforward.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people should also have some similarities.
It will be easier if they have common preferences and topics.
Come together.
Princess Yuyao leaned against the eldest prince and curiously looked at the six people standing in a row.
Everyone else must have been admonished not to look left or right, and to keep their eyes straight.
However, when Princess Yuyao looked towards him, the grandson of Duke Wei smiled at her, showing his neat white teeth.
Princess Yuyao seemed stunned for a moment and turned her head to the side.
After seeing everything, the emperor ordered people to send the six of them out.
At this moment, Xie Ning conveniently came out from behind the curtain and said to the emperor, "I failed to take good care of Yuyao."
"It doesn't matter.
Children don't need to pay attention to that.
Besides, she is like this now.
Let her do whatever she wants to do.
Don't restrict her too much."
The emperor waved Princess Yuyao over and took a piece from the plate.
The sesame cake was handed to her.

Princess Yuyao took the candy and leaned against Xie Ning to slowly eat the candy.
The emperor asked the eldest prince: "Which one does Ying Yi like?"
The eldest prince thought for a while: "My son thinks the young master from Duke Wei's mansion is very good."
Sure enough, I guessed it right.
The emperor nodded: "I understand."
Of course, it goes without saying that I have chosen this one.
I have to pack and prepare for it, and I will come to Nanyuan Study Room early next month.
The emperor will also give the other five people a piece of encouragement and reward, so that they will not feel sad if they lose the election.
The eldest prince's reading accompaniment was finally decided, and all the things he needed to study and study were prepared.
Xie Ning began to prepare wholeheartedly for the canonization.
The process on the day of the canonization has been written down clearly.
When and where to do what, and how to do it.
Just follow it and it will be perfect.
But you still need to practice beforehand.
When receiving the decree, it was in the main hall of Yong'an Palace.
At that time, the Minister of Rites announced the decree, instead of the eunuchs and eunuchs as before during the Jin Dynasty.
The position where Xie Ning will kneel and what he will say when the time comes must be known in advance.
Of course, this is just a drill.
Xie Ning only needs to stand in that position and practice what he wants to say twice.
There is no need to actually kneel down.
After receiving the gold seal of the treasure book, you have to change your clothes.
If there is no queen in the palace, you can skip the step of kowtow to the queen to receive the instruction, and then go to the Fengxian Hall to kowtow.
Because three people were concubines at the same time, these three people came together.
Xie Ning then returned to Yong'an Palace to change his clothes and receive congratulations from everyone in the harem.
Concubines Shen and Jin, who were also conferred the title, were also coming.
Xie Ning had a vague feeling as he listened to the inner palace supervisor explain these rules one by one.
She knew she was a noble concubine before, but now many people in Yong'an Palace have changed their name to call her empress.
But when everyone in the harem wanted to salute and congratulate her, Xie Ning realized that she was already the highest-ranking concubine in the palace.
If there is no queen, then naturally the imperial concubine has the highest status.
Whether she wanted it or not, her life had changed.
She had practiced how to kowtow in Fengxian Palace.
In the end, Fang Shanggong half-jokingly asked her to sit on the chair in the main hall of Yong'an Palace to practice how to receive the courtesy first.
Xie Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head.
You need to practice when giving a salute, but what else should you practice when receiving a salute?
When she thought about the troubles she would have to face in the future, she was not so happy, but felt very uneasy.
Qing He walked over quickly, with no clues on his face, and whispered a few words into Fang Shanggong's ear.
Fang Shanggong nodded and asked Xie Ning: "Master must have been tired for the past half day.
He has almost finished practicing.
Let's rest for a while."
Xie Ning glanced at them and nodded slowly.
When Fang Shanggong returned from seeing off the palace supervisor, Xie Ning asked, "What happened?"
Xie Ning could tell that Qing He looked a little strange when he asked in front of others just now.
Something must have happened.
Fang Shanggong said softly: "Just now Qing He and Xia Yue went to pick up their dresses and wanted to tidy them up and iron them, and found that one of them was torn."
"Broken" Naturally, the clothes were inspected inside and out when they arrived, and it was impossible for the needlework bureau to send a torn Jifu to Yong'an Palace unless they all took the courage of a leopard.

After the auspicious clothes arrived, they were not folded and put into a box for fear of causing wrinkles.
Instead, they were wrapped in silk cloth and stored in the side hall.
How could something so good be broken?
But Qinghe and the others would not make such a joke, so they took the Jifu to Xie Ning to look at.
Among the three, the other two had been carefully inspected and found no problems, except for the deep crimson Luan bird flower Jifu.
There was a big gash in the center of the skirt.
From this point of view, it is impossible to be caused by insects and rats, but man-made
