Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 152 Her Majesty the Queen's Order for the Draft

"King Bin?" Shen Qinglan was shocked. She didn't expect this guy to be crowned king so early! She asked again: "Is he a prince or a county king?"

"Prince, but I will become a prince before my elder brother sits on the throne." Zhao Shun said.

"Well, your father is in good health. It's still early for the Crown Prince to take over the throne. You have won now!"

Shen Qinglan was also happy for him, but then she thought about it, this guy just... said he wanted to choose a princess?

Seeing how quickly she changed her face, Zhao Shun felt funny. He held back his laughter and said, "This is my uncle's arrangement, and I can't do anything about it."

"oh……"

Shen Qinglan held a breath in her heart, and asked this guy to come here today just to announce that he would choose a concubine?

Sparing such a big circle, do you still want her to be your concubine in the end?

"Okay, I understand, Your Majesty, I'm sleepy, so I'm going back first."

Shen Qinglan turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Shun immediately stopped her and said, "Do you know who Mr. Bai from Yongshun Tea House is?"

"He is my friend, but...what does this have to do with you? Who I like to be friends with is my business."

"He is your Majesty's fifth prince, not some storyteller."

"I see, okay, I understand. I don't care if he is a prince or not, and I don't want to cling to him. I just think this man's book is very exciting. My lord, this little girl is really in trouble, so I'll leave first."

Shen Qinglan turned around and left, throwing the peach blossoms aside. She thought Zhao Shun would explain something to her, but he didn't.

-

When she returned to Wenlan Courtyard, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She was very angry when she remembered what Zhao Shun said.

It is a lie to say that you will not marry the princess but will only marry her!

Big liar, dead liar, he didn’t even apologize!

As she thought about it, her tears fell.

After crying for a while, the anger overcame the sadness, and he hit the pillow as if it were Zhao Shun. He got out of bed and walked to the dressing table, looking at the two jewel hairpins and became very angry.

She raised the hairpin high, intending to throw it out the window, but finally let it go.

What's the use of venting your anger on a hairpin?

The hairpin is innocent, but it is a waste of things.

The next day, not long after Shen Qinglan fell asleep, Yan'er woke her up.

"Miss, Fuxi Hall just sent someone to convey a message, saying that if there is something important, please come over."

Shen Qinglan hugged the quilt and refused to let go, "I'll get up in a moment. You go prepare the hot water first."

Yan'er came back from preparing hot water and found that she hadn't gotten up yet, so she walked to the bed and opened the curtain, "Miss, the people from Fuxi Hall are still waiting outside! Get up quickly."

"Who's coming?"

"It's Old Butler Lin!"

As soon as she heard that he was coming, Shen Qinglan hurriedly said: "Ah? Old housekeeper... Come on, come on! Help me put on my clothes!"

Yan'er hurriedly took her clothes and said: "Some time ago, the young lady disguised herself as a man and went out of the house. The old housekeeper was not happy when he found out about it. Now he was ordered to call the young lady, and the young lady made him wait outside for so long.

It’s really inappropriate!”

The old butler has been the butler of the Shen family since the old man of the Shen family was still alive. He has always been upright and behaved very properly. He has a close relationship with Shen Qinglan's grandfather. He is said to be a butler, but more like an elder of the Shen family.

Now that he is old, he no longer works as a errand. It was not long before the Shen family moved to the capital that they invited him over.

"Sigh... remember to remind me next time he comes."

-

After leaving the house, the old housekeeper was standing straight outside with a cold face.

"Grandpa Lin, it's cold in the morning, why not drink a cup of hot tea..." Shen Qinglan said.

"I don't dare. The eldest master is still waiting for the young lady. The young lady should leave as soon as possible," the old housekeeper said.

"well……"

The old housekeeper led the way, and Shen Qinglan followed silently behind. After walking more than half the way, he couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Lin, did uncle say what happened?"

"This old slave doesn't know. The lady will know it when she goes there."

"oh……"

In Fuxi Hall, all the elders have arrived, even the second brother, who has been indifferent to worldly affairs recently, is sitting in the hall.

Shen Qinglan entered the hall, first saluted the elders, and then asked: "What's the big deal today?"

Uncle Shen Zhang opened his mouth and said: "Sisi, when you got up this morning, Her Royal Highness the Queen sent someone to pass on the decree, asking you to prepare to participate in King Bin's draft in five days."

"Ah? Prince Bin..." Shen Qinglan was still confused. When she reacted, she remembered that Zhao Shun had been granted the title of Prince Bin.

"He was the young prince of Prince Heng's palace in the past. Now that the young prince has been canonized, the palace will draft a talent show for him." The eldest uncle said.

"Ah? You want me to go..."

Only then did Shen Qinglan realize why Zhao Shun didn't explain too much to her yesterday. It turned out that he was waiting here!

If she participates in the draft, even if she has passed the Ming Road, neither Ouchi nor Prince Heng's Mansion will have any objections, and the Shen family will have no choice.

Shen Qinglan looked at the second brother, who didn't say anything but took a few sips from the tea cup.

"Sisi...what do you think?" asked his father Shen Yan.

"Can I refuse?" Shen Qinglan asked, looking at her uncle again.

The eldest uncle sighed, "Last year, the young prince inspected the salt tax. My uncle met him once and didn't have much contact with him. However, my uncle heard that he was known as a romantic man in Kyoto. He was a frequent visitor to the Chu Pavilion in Qinlou and sang and danced in the mansion. Ji Jibu. My uncle doesn’t want you to attend either, but the Queen sent someone to tell you that if you don’t go, it will be against the decree.”

"In this case, Sisi can only go..."

Shen Qinglan was extremely sleepy and had no energy at the moment, but in everyone's eyes, this look was that of unwillingness.

"Sisi, you don't have to worry. Although it's a draft, you may not be selected." My aunt Wang Yumei comforted me.

"Why did this draft matter come to our Sisi's head?" the eldest brother Shen Qingyan asked doubtfully.

"It's not surprising that your sister is now the queen of the village," said the grandmother.

Mother Yu Yinghui wiped her tears, "It would be best if you are not selected, but if you are selected as a concubine... what will you do? My family, Sisi, is still young, so we have to endure such suffering."

"This is not possible. How can my Sisi be my concubine?" Shen Yan stood up immediately.

Grandma knocked her cane and said in a deep voice: "They don't want my family's Sisi to be a concubine! If that's the case, even if all the Shen family's wealth is spent, they can't let my granddaughter suffer like this!"

"Grandma, don't worry, let's listen to Sisi's thoughts." Shen Qingshi, who had not spoken until now, spoke.

"Sisi... Just tell me what you think. Grandma will never let you be my concubine!" Grandma said.

"Prince Bing's Mansion is next door to our house now. Sisi, if you don't want to, my uncle will come to find him immediately. No matter how much money is spent, even if you just beg, my uncle will keep you alive." The uncle said.

Shen Qingyan stood up and said: "Sisi, eldest brother won't let you be my concubine! Just say it, don't think about anything else!"
