Zhuang Zhao looked down at the plum branches bordered by gold thread on his shoes, and quietly gathered his cloak.
It was only March, and the wind was still a bit cool.
"My nobles, please endure.
After passing this hurdle, spring is blooming inside."
The leading nurturing aunt lowered her voice.
Several young girls were selected through several inspections and trained for a month.
Their appearance and appearance were all fine.
Whether you can win today depends on your luck.
"Third row, come in," the little eunuch guarding the door said in a salute without looking away.
Only then did Zhuang Zhao and the other six people line up and walk towards the palace with lotus steps.
There are several layers of curtains in the hall, and there is a faint scent of lily.
The six people stopped at the first curtain, raised their arms slightly, and asked the maids to help them take off their cloaks, and then stood in front of the second curtain.
No one spoke for a while, Zhuang Zhao still stood there with his eyes and nose in mind, pretending that he would not move.
A kind female voice came from behind the curtain, "That's all good.
Okay, let's see you."
The maid next to them then brought the futon, and they knelt down skillfully and made a big salute, saying, "The beautiful lady has met the emperor, the empress, and the great grandson."
The emperor groaned and turned to look at the young man sitting below him and asked, "What do you think, Grandson?"
Feng Yi glanced across the curtain with a calm gaze, "It all depends on Grandpa Huang."
Her gentle voice had a hint of magnetism, and several people couldn't help but lower their faces.
Taisun Fengshen was handsome and as gentle as jade, and was praised by the whole palace.
The fact that they can be chosen as the grandson's concubines has broken the teeth of countless women.
The queen glanced at him with a smile, turned sideways and whispered a few words to the emperor.
The emperor nodded, "Okay, let's take him down first."
But instead of taking it back to the palace, it was taken to the side hall next to it.
"My nobles, please wait a moment."
The palace maid with a low eyebrow led them to the side hall and then left, leaving a few people looking at each other.
The six of them have been living together in the same room for the past few months, and they have a good relationship in private.
Li Ying, Sun Xiang, and Zhang Biyu were selected folk girls, and they were closer than the other three.
Among them, Zhang Biyu was a fellow villager in the same county as the concubine Dong.
When they were training in Chu Xiu Palace, the concubine called her over to accompany her and talk a few times.
Li Ying stood next to Zhang Biyu and asked quietly, "What does this mean, Your Majesty?"
Zhang Biyu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
The remaining Zhuang Zhao, Xie Yan and Wang Wu looked at each other and waited quietly.
After about a cup of tea, a eunuch wearing a blue and gray patchwork uniform walked over.
He straightened his back and said, "Kneel down to proclaim the edict."
Several people hurriedly knelt down and listened to what he said, "The Holy One has decreed: The beautiful girl Zhuang will be named, the beautiful girl Zhang will be the grandson's concubine, and the beautiful girl Li will be the great grandson's beloved."
He raised his eyes and looked at a few people, "Masters , thank you."
Zhuang Zhao and the others bowed three times and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The remaining Wang Wu and Xie Yan are better off.
They are both noble girls from aristocratic families.
Even if they cannot enter the palace, they can still marry well.
There are definitely regrets, but it’s not a shame.
Sun Xiang is a bit worse.
His face was pale and he looked at Li Ying with tears in his eyes.
Li Ying turned away and couldn't bear to look.

Zhang Biyu also felt a little pity for her and advised her, "Wipe your tears quickly."
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.
She cried like this after the Holy Emperor issued an edict.
If the Holy Emperor knew about it, he would definitely think that she was resentful towards him.
By then it will not just be a matter of losing the election.
Sun Xiang looked at the rice paper eunuch who kept his head down, hurriedly collected his tears, and said with a forced smile, "We have lived together for so long, and now we have to separate, but I am really reluctant to let go."
She blessed her body, "Congratulations.
A few sisters.”
She made everyone feel a little embarrassed, so they simply dispersed.
Zhang Biyu, Zhuang Zhao, and Li Ying were led to the East Palace to meet the concubine.
The other three people packed up and left the palace.
The concubine Taisun was a delicate beauty.
She was sitting in the hall.
When she saw the three of them coming, she smiled at Nanny Lin who was waiting beside her and said, "All of a sudden, there are so many beautiful sisters here.
From now on, I will But I'm not afraid of being deserted anymore."
His words were slightly sour.
Nanny Lin couldn't do anything about Concubine Taisun's petty problem, and reminded her tactfully, "There will be more in the future.
Don't worry, Madam."
Concubine Taisun was so choked by her that she couldn't say any more bitter words.
She could only say, "Let me know each other."
She glanced at Zhang Biyu and said, "I know Biyu, and there are two left."
She turned her eyes Move to Zhuang Zhao.
She has been immersed in the palace for three years, and she has finally developed the ability to read people.
Li Ying and Zhuang Zhao were standing together.
Although their appearance was more beautiful than hers, their temperament was inferior to hers.
Those raised by aristocratic families are different after all.
The concubine's smile was a little bitter.
Li Ying and Zhuang Zhao came forward to pay their respects at the same time, "My concubine, Mr.
Li and Mr.
Zhuang have met your empress."
When Nanny Lin heard the voice, she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Zhuang Zhao, thinking to herself, such a voice can't take away people's souls.
Before the Concubine Taisun had time to speak, she saw Tan Chen, the attendant at Taisun's side, hurried in.
He saluted and said, "I have seen your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Your Highness has accompanied the Holy Master to the school grounds.
I have specially ordered this servant to come back and say, "Your Majesty."
No need to wait for his meal."
If I go to the school grounds now, it will be midnight when I get back.
According to Taisun's temper, he will definitely not hire anyone to sleep with him again.
Concubine Taisun nodded, "I understand," and added, "Be careful when serving His Highness.
It's cold now, so don't let Your Highness catch a cold."
The grandson was not in a hurry to see these people.
I heard that the reaction in the palace was quite cold, so the concubine was still a little happy.
Seeing that these people were not so unpleasant, he said kindly, "Your Highness may not come back tonight, you should go back and rest first."
After thinking about it, he said, "If there is anything missing in the room, let the palace maid report it to me.
Sister Zhuang brought a maid in here, so I don’t think I have to worry about it.

Sister Biyu, Sister Li, if the maid you arranged is not careful, just come and tell me."
This immediately separated Zhuang Zhao from the other two.
Zhuang Zhao looked down upon Concubine Taisun's little tricks, but he still responded respectfully.
She and Zhang Biyu both had independent small courtyards, one was called Tinglan Courtyard and the other was called Zhilan Courtyard.
Li Ying lived in Zhulan Courtyard with another husband, Anshi.
Zhang Biyu's Zhilan Courtyard was the closest to Taisun's study.
Li Ying was a little envious and took her hand and whispered, "I'll come to your place to play in a while."
Zhang Biyu smiled and nodded.
The two chatted and laughed, leaving Zhuang Zhao aside.
Zhuang Zhao didn't take it seriously.
When she got into the room and asked Bai Cha to close the door, she let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Cha smiled and stood behind her, squeezing her shoulders, "Master, you must be exhausted after standing for so long."
Zhuang Zhao closed his eyes comfortably, "Compared to the usual training, it's much better."
She opened her eyes and scanned the room, frowning, "This is too well-appointed."
There were brand-new gold-inlaid furniture.
The ornaments are all large jade carvings, and there are two pots of wealth and auspiciousness.
Wealth is rich, but it hurts people's eyes.
"Let them move these out later."
Zhuang Zhao pointed at a few large and unsightly objects.
Bai Cha hesitated for a moment, "If Concubine Taisun knew about it, I'm afraid she would suspect that the master was deliberately going against her."
They had lived in the palace for a while, and they had heard about Concubine Taisun's style.
Regardless of what she said on the surface, if anyone dared to be dissatisfied with her arrangements, she would be the first to have an attack.
Once, Anliang, a member of the Zhulan Courtyard, complained that the bamboos in the Zhulan Courtyard were too messy.
On the surface, Concubine Taisun was still gentle, but in the blink of an eye, she sent someone to cut down the bamboos and specially selected some beautiful ones.
Go to the evil ones.
An Liangren was so frightened that he had nightmares for several nights.
This matter was quite a big deal, and the little palace maid who told them secretly said, "I heard that it was Princess Qi who asked someone to spread the news."
Now that Zhuang Zhao has just entered the East Palace, he has not even seen the grandson's face, so it would be a bit risky to rashly confront the concubine.
Zhuang Zhao touched the Dongzhu ring on his index finger and said, "I entered the palace not to oppose her, let alone how can it be the same now as it was three years ago."
Three years ago, the concubine Taisun had just entered the palace.
She wanted to punish a beloved man, but the concubine would not say anything.
But three years have passed, and the grandson's concubine has yet to show signs of pregnancy, so this group of people came into being.
Now if the concubine wanted to do this, she would have to consider the thoughts of the grandson and the emperor and the empress.
Childless and jealous, the combination of these two things would make even the grandson concubine unbearable.
Bai Cha responded crisply and said with a smile: "Master still sees clearly", and then asked, "Master, should I let them move now, or after dinner?"
Zhuang Zhao patted the hand that was squeezing her shoulder to signal her to stop.
He stood up and said, "Let them move it now.
You go find the Luoyuxiang we brought, wash the plum blossom cup, and take it to the pavilion."
Come here."
There is a small lake in Tinglan Courtyard.
There is a pavilion on the lake, surrounded by screens on all sides.
Zhuang Zhao fell in love at first sight when he came in just now.
In fact, it would be better to go in the summer, but now that the palace servants are coming to move things, she has nowhere to go, so she might as well go to the pavilion to spend some time.
As a result, the cups had just been washed and before she could do anything, she saw Tan Chen leading someone there.
He kept his posture very low and said respectfully, "I would like to pay my respects to the master.

Please get ready.
My grandson wants to see you tonight."
Zhuang Zhao was surprised.
His grandson had just sent someone to tell him that he would not come back for dinner, but he returned to the palace in the blink of an eye.
Something had obviously happened, and it was definitely not good.
She took off the little jade cicada hanging from her waist and said with a smile, "Thank you, Minister Tan.
Please don't dislike this jade cicada, Minister Tan."
Tan Chen's eyebrows did not move, he bent down to take it, "I thank the master of the village."
As a servant of the grandson, he has seen many good things.
Although this jade cicada was not worth much, it was small and exquisite.
Since she gave it to him, he would take it.
But if you ask him to say something about his grandson, huh, he won't say a word.
Just when Tan Chen was about to tactfully reject Zhuang Zhao's question about the prince, he heard Zhuang Zhao say, "Then I'm going to take a bath and get ready.
Waiter Tan will wait a moment."
Then he walked past him lightly.
