To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 466 Ask for help

   It is self-evident that the emperor fills the harem at this delicate moment.

  Some people are happy while others are sad.

  He who rejoices sees an opportunity.

  If you send a girl from the clan into the palace, once you give birth to a prince, you will be able to fight for great wealth.

  As for Concubine Xiao Gui, so what if she is the only favorite, who can guarantee that the one she will give birth to will be a prince? Even if a prince is born, any heir is precious to the emperor who has few heirs. After all, children are too easy to die, and it is not easy to grow up smoothly.

  As long as you enter the palace, you have an opportunity. It's a good deal to use a girl to fight for a chance.

  As for other families who are satisfied and love their daughters, they start to worry.

  The emperor is past the age of knowing the destiny, and it is unlikely that sending his daughter into the palace will give birth to an heir. Even if a prince is born, with Concubine Xiao doting on him alone, and every family watching over him, it's hard to say whether he can protect the child and grow up safely.

   For a pampered and raised daughter, marrying a well-matched young man with similar looks is the only way to be serious.

However, no matter whether each family is happy or sad, the decree of choosing a concubine came down soon: in Beijing, Yancheng, and Beihe, all officials above the fifth rank and noble families, each family will send a girl to be a candidate. At least fifteen years old and under twenty years old.

  The former Taipusi Shaoqing Wang Family can only be called the Wang Family Compound now.

  The Pingnan Palace was convicted. As an in-law of the Pingnan Palace, the Wang family lost a daughter, and Wang Shaoqing was also deprived of his official position and became white.

   Fortunately, the Wang family has some background, and they can barely gain a foothold in the capital. As for what it tastes like, only the Wang family knows.

  The news of the emperor's selection of concubines reached the ears of Miss Wang and Miss Wang, and both sisters looked scared.

   "Sister, our family has become ordinary people, and life is suddenly sad. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now it seems that I am really lucky."

  Both her and her elder sister met the age requirements for concubine selection this time. If her grandfather was still in the position of Shaoqing in Zhengsipin Taipusi, one of them would have to enter the palace as a candidate.

  Thinking about wanting to become the concubine of an old emperor in her fifties and fighting endlessly with all the girls, the second girl Wang shuddered.

  Miss Wang hugged her younger sister, and said softly: "Yes, this is where misfortune and blessing rest, and blessing and misfortune rest on it."

  According to the date revealed by my grandfather, the whole family may move out of the capital next year, and after returning to their hometown to settle down, they will find a suitable marriage for their sisters.

  Thinking about leaving the capital, where the sky is high, the land is vast, and the country is simple, Miss Wang feels a lot more at ease.

  In the Governor's Mansion, the fourth girl Luo Yue panicked.

  Elder sister has divorced her marriage, and this alone does not meet the requirements. The second sister has poor legs and feet, and she also has legitimate reasons for not running for the election.

  Third Sister—Third Sister is a face-lifting lady!

  After all the calculations, only she is the right age and the conditions meet.

  Boom, I knew that she would follow the example of the third sister in raising noodles, so she couldn't make up her mind all the time.

  It is too late to act now.

  It’s like some families who don’t want to send their daughters to the palace. The emperor’s order to choose a concubine has been made. If you rush to get married at this time to avoid choosing a concubine, it will be a capital offense.

  As the daughter of the commander of the Jinlin Guard, she still understands this.

  Luo Yue pounded on the pillow and became more and more desperate, her eyes were red.

  She doesn't want to enter the palace, she doesn't want to serve a bad old man!

  Why couldn't she think about it before, look at the third sister's negative snow, the third sister's bright candle, the third sister's Ling Xiao, the third sister's Feiyang...

  A series of fair-skinned and beautiful teenagers flashed through my mind, and the fourth girl really cried out.

   After crying for a while, Luo Yue suddenly got up.

   No, she can't sit still!

   "Go and ask the third girl whether she is in the mansion or go to the wine shop." Luo Yue sent the maid to Xianyun Garden to inquire.

   Not long after, the servant girl ran back and reported: "Girl, the elder sister of Xianyunyuan said that the third girl has gone out."

  Luo Yue changed into the clothes she was going out in, and walked out of the house with her maid.

  The news reached Governor Luo, who stood in front of the window and looked at the snow-covered plantain outside, and sighed deeply.

  The commander of Jinlinwei made this position like walking on the tip of a knife, and if he made a mistake, he would die without a place to bury him.

  For the sake of the entire Luo family, some things had to be compromised.

   It seems that since the imperial concubine became pregnant, this feeling of last resort has become more and more.

   Governor Luo's eyes sank, thinking of his little daughter's helplessness at the moment, he had to force himself to harden his heart.

  Luo Yue rushed to a restaurant in a hurry, and saw that little guard of Kaiyang King was hard at work sweeping the snow.

  Recently, the heavy snow has stopped, and it has not stopped.

  Because she came out in a hurry without a stove, Luo Yue cupped her cold hands and asked, "Is my third sister here?"

  Shi Yi straightened up and said politely, "Miss Luo is here."

   "Thank you." Luo Yue thanked casually, and hurried into the lobby with her skirt in hand, and ran into Shi Yan head-on.

   After a while, Luo Yue finally realized: It turns out that King Kaiyang left the other twin brother behind.

  King Kaiyang wants to leave one more person to protect Third Sister?

  Flashing through this thought, Luo Yue pursed her lips.

  The third sister has so many beautiful faces, and she is also cared for by King Kaiyang, and she doesn't have to go to the palace to serve the old man...

   No, if you think about it, you will become distorted with jealousy. She should have been with the third sister long ago!

  The regretful little girl raised her voice, "Third Sister—"

  Luo Sheng heard the movement and came in through the curtain from behind, seeing that it was Luo Yue, it was not surprising.

  She is waiting and watching.

  In the matter of choosing a concubine, A is honey, and B is arsenic. She felt that becoming a concubine in the palace was like entering a cage, but she was not sure what Luo Yue thought.

  That's right, when news of the concubine selection got out, Luo Yue was the only thing she thought of.

  Of the four girls in the Luo Mansion, only Luo Yue is eligible.

  Everyone has their own aspirations. Luo Yueruo is happy to be a candidate. She can at most remind a few words. If Luo Yue doesn't want to ask her for help, she will try her best to help.

  Looking at the girl who barged in, Luo Sheng raised his lips and smiled.

  It is a pity that a good little girl goes to serve the bad old man and competes with many little girls.

   "Is Fourth Sister okay?" Luo Sheng asked gently.

   "Third Sister—" Luo Yue grabbed Luo Sheng's wrist, felt several curious eyes cast on him, and had a flash of inspiration, "Let's go and see the persimmon tree."

  The persimmon fruit from the persimmon tree in the backyard of the restaurant is very sweet, and she even tasted it.

  Regarding matters such as choosing a concubine, it is much better to go there to talk than here.

  Hearing Luo Yue's words, Luo Sheng looked a little weird, but still nodded.

  Shi Yan looked at the slightly shaking cotton curtain and wiped his face, then turned his head blankly and asked the red bean who was eating roasted sweet potatoes: "Sister red bean, does that persimmon tree have some unknown benefits?"

   When the master comes back, don't talk about Miss Luo, maybe you can't even keep the persimmon tree?

  Hong Dou rolled his eyes: "The persimmon tree is not mature, so it can hide its benefits?"

  Shi Sanhuo is so stupid, who can he do?
