I Can Redeem the Merit Template

Among the county yamen, imperial envoys from the palace have already passed the yamen.

The palace envoy who came was surnamed Guo, but he was not Guo Yi who had visited Langya County, but Guo Huai.

This eunuch named Guo Huai was the chief eunuch of the palace.

He has a lot of opinions about going to Dongyang County, a place where no shit is a bird. At this time, his face is full of impatience, and he enters the Dongyang County Government, which is to order Qiao Nanchu, the magistrate of Dongyang County, to bring the selected one hundred beautiful girls. .

Qiao Nanchu had already ordered the officers in the county government to collect a hundred beautiful women.

At this time, in the county government office, everyone stood neatly in a vertical row, everyone was uneasy, or their eyes were weeping, and their heads were bowed.

Qiao Nanchu couldn't bear to see this desolate scene, but he was very helpless and could only comfort him.

"Don't cry, being able to enter the palace to serve His Majesty is a blessing you have cultivated for several generations, and it is also an honor for your family. Although you are away from your hometown after entering the palace, you can wear silk and satin, so you don't have to worry about starving. Once it is spotted by the officials, once it flies up the branch and becomes a golden phoenix, it will be a glory to the ancestors!"

Qiao Nanchu could only try his best to instill chicken soup into hundreds of beautiful girls.

After several rounds of instilling chicken soup, some timid show girls finally stopped crying, and there was somewhat hopeful look in their eyes.

Guo Huai glanced at Qiao Nanchu, with a noncommittal expression on his face, and after asking several old nuns in the palace to check, Guo Huai nodded.

This made Qiao Nanchu heave a sigh of relief, at this time Guo Huai looked over with a pair of eagle eyes in a blink of an eye, and also praised.

"Lord Qiao has done a good job. After I return to the palace, I will definitely report to the officials and record a great contribution to Master Qiao!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nanchu's heart skipped a beat, and a thought came to his mind.

Unexpectedly, Song's method worked.

Most of these beautiful girls were selected from the refugees, and many of them came from poor families. If they were only wearing coarse linen clothes, how could they be photographed by the chief eunuch in the palace? There would inevitably be another disturbance at the end of the day.

Thanks to Mrs. Song who came up with a way to buy more rouge and gouache to dress up these beautiful girls...

But at this moment, Qiao Nanchu somewhat regretted it.

If he knew that with Song's method, he could easily deal with the chief eunuch in the palace, then he wouldn't have to give up the treasures in the mansion to that Taoist!

But at this moment, Guo Huai's eagle eyes turned, and he suddenly said:

"When I was in Jiyang County, I heard that there seemed to be two beautiful ladies in Mrs. Qiao's residence. I don't know which two are the young ladies of Qiao's residence? Say a few words for Master Qiao!"

Guo Huai looked at Qiao Nanchu with a cold expression.

He was ordered to select the maid this time, not by the official order, but by the empress's order.

The queen's secret order, as the fore eunuch beside him, Guo Huai is of course very clear about the spirit in the secret order.

This is to select some innocent palace servants for the prince who is about to enter the palace, train them early, and send them to the palace in the future, so as not to be tampered with and mixed with sand!

And naturally, when it is sent to the imperial womb, the specification is naturally a little bit.

Otherwise, the queen's face will not look good, and she will hate the prince by then!

Qiao Nanchu's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, and the sweat on his forehead suddenly poured out, and he said quickly: "My lord, the daughter of the lower official and the concubine sister are not among them!"

Hearing this, Guo Huai's complexion changed drastically, and he became gloomy, and said in a high-pitched voice:

"Lord Qiao, don't mistake yourself. As a gentry, you should take the initiative to send a girl to invite you to be favored. Do you know what is the crime of deceiving the emperor? The crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished by the whole family!"

Guo Huai stared at Qiao Nanchu viciously, his gloomy eyes seemed to drip water.

Before coming to Jiyang County, he knew who had a good daughter, so how could anyone prevaricate it.

Guo Huai squinted his eyes at Qiao Nanchu, seeing that Qiao Nanchu was still in a daze, his eagle eyes were full of warning.

"Why don't you go clean up immediately and invite the two young ladies from the Qiao family to come to Beijing with me!"

Qiao Nanchu felt a chill in his heart, and said quickly:

"My lord, it's not that I'm a low-ranking official. It's just that the little girl and my humble sister are sick. If they are sent to the post house, I'm afraid they will pass the sickness to your lord!"

Qiao Nanchu also knew that the head of the palace was difficult to deal with. If he didn't see the real person, he wouldn't give up. He hurriedly asked Qiao Ziqin and Qiao Jia to come out of the mansion.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw two women wearing black gauze cloaks walking in from the door.

The two women had beautiful figures and outstanding temperament. After the two women were ordered to untie their black veil cloaks, they saw several horrible black sores on their faces.

It's a pity!

Guo Huai's face was gloomy, and he ordered several accompanying old maids to come forward to check, but the results they got were not tricky.

This made Guo Huai so annoyed that he could only walk away.

For this reason, Qiao Nanchu and the Song family who arrived afterward finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, I am convinced of that Taoist's prescription!

However, Qiao Nanchu and the Song family were still a little worried. They were worried that Qiao Ziqin and Qiao Jia’s faces would recover in a few days, and there might be unexpected problems. Qiao Nanchu and his wife discussed with each other and decided to arrange a carriage. They were going to let Qiao Ziqin and Qiao Jia go to the residence of their grandfather, the Earl of Yongning, for a short stay first. Time, avoid the limelight.

...

On the other hand, after Wang Yuan left Langya County, the eyeliners of some imperial officials who had been surrounding the Tongpan Mansion soon noticed Wang Yuan's departure, and immediately sent the news back to the palace.

Bianjing, in Yanfu Palace

The queen sat quietly on the brocade couch, surrounded by several strange figures standing above the hall. These women combed the hair of noble ladies, but their faces were extremely calm, as if they were waiting for the queen's order.

After a while, the queen raised her head and spoke slowly. "Tell me the order of the palace, you can do it!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

One of the beauties in palace attire saluted slightly, and this woman in palace attire had a vicious look on her face at this moment.

During this period of time, many forces inside and outside the palace are ignorant of the old story of the civet cat being replaced by the prince. Many people's minions have crossed the line, and Yanfu Palace should have counterattacked.

Right now, the empress is planning to cut off some of the minions in the palace to relieve some of the pressure on the two princes.

Immediately, the beautiful woman in palace costume said again.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the Second Prince. Now that the First Prince is about to enter the capital, if we don't make preparations early, it may be dangerous!"

Hearing this, the queen glanced at the personal female officer.

The place where the second prince was sent away was not far from Yanfu Palace, and he was also a member of the royal family, so he was not afraid of being exposed!

It's not surprising that a member of the royal family is pregnant with Ziwei Starlight!

But the eldest prince is different, if exposed at this time, he will definitely become the target of public criticism!

Dragons and snakes are mixed in the capital, capable people emerge in large numbers, and the chances of revealing their identities are very high!

"Does Suihou Zhu have any clues?"

"Reporting to my lord, we have a clue!!" At this time, another beautiful woman in a palace costume with a heroic figure smiled slightly: "This bead is in Xingyang County, and it won't take long to get it!"

Hearing this, the queen nodded lightly, and immediately set her eyes on the Buddhist beads in her hand again, but the waves in her calm eyes could not be concealed.

...

On the other side, starting from Huangjie Post, it took less than half a month to go round and round, passing through several counties along the way, and Wang Yuan also came to Xingyang County!

This place already belongs to Kaifeng Prefecture, which is very close to the capital.
