Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 198 The East Palace holds a concubine selection banquet

The prince and grand master said: "Your Majesty, in ancient times there was a demon concubine named Daji Bao Si who has been in disgrace for thousands of years. Do you want to let history records be reviled by future generations? I am loyal and considerate of your Majesty."

Qiao Jinniang chuckled, thinking about her? Looking for a wife for her husband is called thinking about her?

If it weren't for the words "respect teachers and elders", she would have really wanted to scold the old man for fear that he wouldn't be able to breathe.

Gu Ming came out of the palace and invited Qiao Jinniang inside.

Qiao Jinniang entered the study room in the palace, placed the flowers in the vase, and trimmed the branches.

Lu Chen walked to the study and said, "The prince and grand master are confused. Don't pay attention to him. Are you not angry?"

Qiao Jinniang hummed softly: "Why am I angry? It's you, that's your teacher. You say he's an old fool behind his back. Aren't you afraid that the censor will accuse you of not respecting your teacher?"

Lu Chen said: "Not afraid."

Qiao Jinniang put down the scissors for pruning the flower branches and said: "However, what he said is reasonable. Although I don't want to let people into the palace, but in order not to record the name of a jealous demon concubine in the history books and be infamy for thousands of years, I We also have to take care of the matter of choosing a concubine."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Are you serious?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "You want to be beautiful! I just think that instead of quarreling with the old man and losing my reputation, it is better to follow his wishes. I will hold my concubine selection banquet. As for the outcome, I don't know what the result will be."

Lu Chen said: "You are bored in the palace, so you can do whatever you want."

Qiao Jinniang picked up the scissors again and cut off the gorgeous peony flowers, leaving only a red peony flower.

"Brother Chen, do the flowers I arranged look good? Are they beautiful?"

Gu Ming, who was waiting on the side, bravely took a look. In the precious glass vase, there were only a bunch of bare green branches, and only a few elegant Du Dans in the middle.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look beautiful.

Lu Chen smiled, "It's very beautiful, very beautiful, and very artistic."

All the maids in the palace: "..."

In Chang'an City, many young ladies who had been determined to enter the palace since childhood craned their necks to wait for news from the palace after Qiao Jinniang entered the East Palace.

Among them were some daughters of out-of-town governors and other high-ranking officials. After the prince's wedding, they stayed at the homes of relatives in Chang'an, waiting for news about the selection of concubines in the palace.

Sure enough, on the sixth day of April, when the spring was shining brightly, the Crown Princess in the East Palace sent out a message inviting all the daughters of Chang'an officials above the fourth rank to come to the palace to enjoy flowers and arrange flowers in two days.

Many flower viewing banquets have the meaning of choosing a concubine.

For a moment, the threshold of the Jewelry Pavilion was almost trampled down.

Zhiwei Pavilion is still closed, and the business in Baiwei Pavilion is also very good. Nuomi has counted more than ten thousand taels of silver in his small treasury in the past few days, not to mention the generous gifts from officials from other places.

They all came to inquire about the Crown Princess’s preferences with Nuomi.

Most daughters can understand it.

If you want to live a good life in the East Palace and try to replace the Crown Princess, you are extremely stupid. After all, she is the mother of the Crown Prince and the daughter of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

It's not as important as pleasing.

Qiao Jinniang sent out the news and told Nuomi to keep it, and Nuomi accepted it all without any pressure.

Inside the Baiwei Building, Fenxiang frowned and said, "Did the master really compromise after entering the East Palace?"

"Absolutely not!" Nuomi said, "Master has other plans."

In the Tong Mansion, Mrs. Tong saw that Zhou Siming had really given the money, so she released Tong Yingying from the woodshed.

Although Tong Yingying could not enter the palace, she still had hope of marrying into Duke Wu's palace.

Mrs. Wu Guogong refused to help her natal family because she did not need to rely on her natal family.

But Tong Yingying is no longer there.

When the time came, she became the mother-in-law of Duke Wu's eldest son, and her wealth was evident.

Mrs. Tong then said to Tong Yingying: "You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier that Prince Zhou likes you? This Prince Zhou is a rare good son-in-law for the women of Chang'an!"

But Tong Yingying said: "Is this the only thing that my aunt has in mind? Although Zhou Siming is the eldest son of Duke Wu, how can the Duke of Wu's palace have the power from the East Palace!

I have studied the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child and am the most talented woman in Chang'an. I did not want to marry into the Zhou family, which is not tolerated by the world.

Queen Zhou exclusively doted on His Majesty in the Sixth Palace. She was a scum among women and set a bad example of being unvirtuous and virtuous to women all over the world!

I am determined to be a role model for women in the world. How can I be worthy of the position of Prince Wu's wife? "

Mrs. Tong had a look of confusion on her face. Tong Yingying was so high-spirited that even Zhou Siming couldn't look down on her.

"But because of what happened to Princess Xiliang, your reputation has been ruined. Do you still want to enter the palace?"

Tong Yingying said: "Of course I have other ways."

Zhou Siming obeyed her words, but he didn't know why he suddenly changed his attitude two years ago.

But this time, his willingness to give money shows that he still has himself in his heart. So if he goes through fire and water for himself, why not help her enter the East Palace?

On the eighth day of April, the outside of the East Palace was extremely lively early in the morning. Many wealthy people came to the East Palace early to pay homage to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, even without the envoys on the invitations.

When they walked outside the Crown Princess's bedroom, they heard the palace maid say that the Crown Princess hadn't gotten up yet. They couldn't help but look at the sky. The sun was already high in the sky...

Doesn’t the prince care about the princess?

In the dormitory, Qiao Jinniang, who had woken up and was leaning on the bed reading a storybook, heard the palace maid coming to report, and said: "Let them wait, give them a few umbrellas, don't let them get burned, it's so distressing." …”

Anyone who came to the East Palace so early must have had some thoughts in mind, and I don’t blame her for giving him a blow.

She had already written down the time, so why come so early?

Lu Chen on the side snatched Qiao Jinniang's notebook and said, "Who feels bad? Don't falsely accuse me."

Qiao Jinniang said: "I didn't say anything about you, but I feel sorry for you, right?"

Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang looked at the storybook together. After a few glances, he lost interest and only looked at Qiao Jinniang's earlobe. After he signaled the maids to get down, he gently bit her earlobe.

When Qiao Jinniang saw the excitement, she said softly: "Don't make trouble."

Lu Chen said: "No trouble, you simply didn't go out so early. Instead of reading the story book, why don't we have a daughter?"

Qiao Jinniang didn't believe Lu Chen's lies. He talked about having a daughter, but in the past few days after marriage, he always avoided getting pregnant. She didn't care whether he wanted a child or not.

"Don't coax me. Do you want to have another child? Xi'er is getting older too."

"I want to but don't want to." Lu Chen whispered in her ear: "Having an heir can reduce the noise outside, but I have to endure it for another year..."

Qiao Jinniang: "..."
