Until the last day of the polo match, Ning Junwu, who was said to have extraordinary polo skills and a place in the hearts of the ladies in the capital, did not show up.
This disappointed many ladies, while Xia Xiaodong was a little disappointed but also a little happy.
Of course I was disappointed that I didn't get to see this guy.
If nothing else, I guess he was pretty good at playing polo.
Those who were happy thought that Ning Erliu's not showing up at this time was equivalent to showing that he had no interest in others.
Hearing that Dou Xiaomei didn't see Ning Junwu, she was so sad that she cried.
The lively men's polo and women's cooking games were indeed very lively, but there were no special incidents.
I guess it was not the first time that the talent show was held.
The organizers were very experienced and strictly guarded against it, so it was reasonable for it to go smoothly. middle.
Next, except for the occasional wandering of some princes and clan members, the show girls basically resumed their daily etiquette training, and even the final date for the draft was set, which was the eighth day of February.
Families that intend to get royal marriage through the draft have entered the final stage of activities.
Inside the summer resort, the show girls are working harder and harder, and outside the resort, all kinds of contacts must also be in full swing.
However, just two days before the official draft, the Lu family suddenly sent someone over to pick up Lu Yunzhi and Lu Yunsheng.
Xia Xiaodong didn't learn the news until Fourth Miss Qin hurriedly came over to tell her.
Miss Qin Si lived next to Lu Yunzhi, so she knew the situation relatively clearly.
Because she was walking in a hurry, her face turned red, and she frowned and said, "I've never heard of a beautiful girl being picked up in advance, unless He’s no longer eligible to participate in the draft, and it’s just a sudden illness or something.
This time it’s a precedent.”
"Well, this is for you.
Sister Yunzhi asked me to bring it to you."
Miss Qin Si said and took out a purse from her sleeve.
Sure enough, it was the sapphire blue purse that Lu Yunzhi usually wore around her waist.
She must have pulled it too hard, the straps on the purse were broken, and a long strand of embroidered lotus petals was pulled off by her fingernails.
Xia Xiaodong took it and opened it.
Inside was a piece of folded paper.
At first glance, it looked like a blank piece of paper.
"This" Xia Xiaodong turned over the piece of paper.
Still blank paper.
"Yes."
Miss Qin Si also came over and said quickly: "I'll be here right away, but I haven't opened it yet."
Of course, Xia Xiaodong did not doubt Miss Qin Si.
He looked at the paper and saw the clue.
On it was the word "retreat" scratched out with his fingernails.
It seems that it was too hasty and there was no time to use pen and paper. retreat.
Of course, it means to let yourself think of a way and retreat quickly.
Damn, I have wanted to retreat for a long time, but I have to retreat before I can go.
Isn’t this not giving in?
"Sister Yunzhi and the others were picked up for what reason?"
The so-called "cannot withdraw" is of course mainly aimed at ordinary show girls, like the girls from the Lu family, the draft is just a formality, and choosing who to marry is a game behind the scenes.
Yes, if you really want to quit, there will naturally be a way.
"I heard that the old lady of the Lu family suddenly became critically ill."
Miss Qin Si said hesitantly, and then immediately explained: "This is not necessarily true.
I didn't really hear it."
It couldn't be that Mrs.
Lu was really critically ill at this time.
Xia Xiaodong thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be the case.

Not to mention that Mrs.
Lu is still in good health, even if she is really critically ill, Lu Yunzhi has no reason to withdraw herself.
There aren't many things that can scare the Lu family, even citing the reason that Mrs.
Lu is critically ill.
It should be noted that such an excuse is somewhat cursed, who would be willing to use it.
The sudden departure of Lu Yunzhi and Lu Yunsheng only caused a small ripple among the show girls.
Most people understood this as the Lu family's privilege.
It was very common, and it was natural to accept the loss of two major rivals.
The draft day is just around the corner, and even the uniforms have been handed out.
The routine training the day before the draft has also been cancelled, so that everyone can take good care of themselves so that they can present their best condition in front of the emperor.
Xia Xiaodong tried to find Zhou Aimai.
Auntie Zhou was one of the well-fed members of the Lu family, and she had always taken good care of the Lu family sisters and Xia Xiaodong.
But Auntie Zhou also had a dark look in her eyes, and was even more anxious than Xia Xiaodong.
She was the one who helped let some of the Lu family sisters go.
If something really happened to the Lu family, it would be fine if no one would pursue it.
If they really wanted to pursue it, maybe Auntie Zhou would too.
Get involved.
Even if he is not implicated, without the support of the Lu family in the future, his life will not be as good as it is now.
"There should be something going on in the palace."
Aunt Zhou expressed doubts, "But everything is fine outside, so what could be going on in the palace?"
For the Lu family, the palace also means Queen Lu.
In the position of queen, the role of decoration is greater than that of wife, and the political significance is greater than practical significance.
Empress Lu has been married to the emperor since he was still a prince, and has been sitting in the back seat for more than ten years now.
Without outside influence, it is difficult to imagine that anything will happen.
Xia Xiaodong looked in the mirror and applied a regular ugly makeup quite seriously.
The skin looked slightly yellow and the facial features were slightly asymmetrical, resulting in a makeup that greatly reduced the color.
Then, go out for a walk.
Sitting in a city of sorrow will never solve the problem.
Xia Xiaodong thought as he walked.
Even if there is no reason to quit now, there are only a few worst outcomes.
One is to be selected by the emperor and become the mistress of the palace.
From then on, she began to participate in palace fights during the day and accompany the old man at night.
One is alleged marriage.
If Ning Junwu didn't show up in the past few days and was indeed acting behind the scenes, he might be directly accused of being married, but it's hard to say whether she was the main wife or the concubine.
Then the life of participating in house fights during the day and being comforted by handsome guys at night seems better than the previous one.
If Ning Junwu's activities fail, or if other people's efforts are more successful, he may be accused of marrying another prince or a member of the clan.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaodong suddenly narrowed his eyes.
No, none of this is right.
The things that I think may happen are all reasonable.
Even if I am not very happy and trying to avoid it, in the eyes of many people, it is a good way out that they dream of.
More importantly, this is true whether Lu Yunzhi is here or not.
So, why did Lu Yunzhi deliberately think about quitting when he was in a hurry?
There must be some variables Xia Xiaodong suddenly opened his eyes wide, but saw a man standing behind the bamboo fence.
The man was looking over with interest, as if he was a little surprised to see her here.
