Wear It with Space

The bright candlelight illuminates the Wenhua Palace like the day, and Zhou Sheng is looking through the memorials while waiting for something.

When the little **** Gongjin delivered the supper, Zhou Sheng came over and realized that the time was approaching Haishi unknowingly, but the Chuxiu Palace where the show ladies lived did not hear any movement.

This is not in line with common sense!

Zhou Sheng paused for a while holding the pen, and the cinnabar that had just been dipped in the nib dripped onto the table. He didn't notice it, and frowned slightly and said, "Where is Ling Qing, where did he go?"

Gong Jin saw that his mood was probably not very good, and his waist was lowered, "Master Ling went out of the palace in the afternoon."

Zhou Sheng just remembered that Ling Qing went to Qunfang Pavilion to get the news as he ordered. He rubbed his eyebrows and waved Gong Jin to leave.

That night, Zhou Sheng waited until the hour, and there was no movement from Chu Xiugong, so he finally had to rest in confusion.

At dawn the next day, Shen Ling, who had slept in the space all night, woke up refreshedly, and continued to learn court etiquette from the ladies.

It seems that although her background is relatively high, she has an easy-going temperament. During the break, a few show girls took the initiative to come over and get close to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling only glanced at a few of them, knowing that most of them would not be selected as concubines in the future, and the words were very faint.

But there are still some people who have heard of Shen Ling's identity and want to get a chance from her to become a concubine, so while having lunch at lunch, Shen Ling sat in front of a few more beautiful women.

Among the several show girls, only one show girl with beautiful eyebrows and lively temperament can get into Shen Ling's eyes.

That Xiu Nv seems to be the central figure of those Xiu Nv. Shen Ling heard that she called her surname Tao, not only did she look good, but she also had better temperament, and she gave a feeling of spring breeze when getting along with other people.

Right now, although she is asking for Shen Ling, she speaks very beautifully, and she is just right when she praises people. It makes people happy, and she doesn't think she is flattering but tells the truth.

At least Shen Ling was happy because he heard what she said, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she remembered a character like her.

In the afternoon, Shen Ling studied court etiquette as usual, just like the other ladies. Only halfway through the study, a female officer next to the Queen Mother asked her to go to Cining Palace.

Shen Ling followed the female officer out of the Chuxiu Palace in the envy of everyone, and just asked the female officer what the queen mother was looking for.

The female officer replied that it was when the emperor came to the Queen Mother's side that it was Yang Liyan's birthday, and the queen mother wanted to call her over and see what to do with her birthday this year.

When Shen Ling arrived at Ci Ning Palace, Zhou Sheng was waiting and fidgeting. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Shen Ling’s calm and unwavering eyes. Then, when he looked at the other party’s face pale and bright, there was no sign of poisoning. I couldn't help feeling a little surprised, could it be that Yang Liyan had noticed something?

But at the same time, he shook his head in his heart. It's impossible. Yang Liyan's temperament is not clear to him. Since she was a child, she didn't like to read, let alone medical books. How could she find the problem?

Could it be that she didn't wear the pair of agate bracelets she gave, but when Zhou Sheng looked at Shen Ling's wrists, she found that the pair of agate bracelets were worn on her hands well.

"Emperor, what do you think?" When Zhou Sheng was thinking about it, he suddenly heard such a question from the Queen Mother, and then subconsciously nodded, "The sons and ministers listen to the mother and the queen."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Then it's settled. The emperor will manage Yan'er's birthday personally!"

Only then did Zhou Sheng understand what the Queen Mother was asking, he couldn't help feeling tight, but there was still a smile on her face, "Don't worry, the queen will make the cousin's banquet lively and lively."

After Shen Ling’s birthday banquet was set, the queen mother brought up the beautiful ladies of Chu Xiugong and asked Shen Ling a few questions. When Shen Ling answered, Zhou Sheng always kept her eyes on her. .

After a while, the queen mother was aware of it. Although she didn't understand why Zhou Sheng suddenly became interested in her niece, she refused to let go of such an opportunity, and she casually found an excuse to leave room for the two of them.

After the queen mother left, Zhou Sheng looked at Shen Ling with tentative eyes, "How good is my cousin who always lives in Chuxiu Palace?"

Shen Ling smiled gently and said: "Thanks to my cousin, Yan'er lived in Chuxiu Palace very well. By the way, I heard that the orchids in the room were arranged by a cousin, Yan'er would like to thank you. pass."

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but sneered and said, "That's not worth anything, just like Yan'er."

Shen Ling smiled and said, "I like it, why don't you like it. That orchid has a special fragrance, and if you smell it too much, it can refresh people. It is difficult for cousin to find it from such a distance. Yan'er will definitely remember this feeling. mind."

Zhou Sheng didn’t know why. He always felt that Shen Ling’s words had something to say, and he was a little guilty. He couldn’t help showing a trace of panic after hearing these words. Although he soon recovered his composure again, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. .

Shen Ling said goodbye at this moment. The reason was very good. She wanted to go back to study court etiquette in order to prepare for the future.

Leaving Zhou Sheng in the local area, she worried for a long time whether Shen Ling would already know the inside story, and if she knew the inside story, would she tell the queen mother.

But he wanted to be bad. Shen Ling never planned to tell the queen dowager about this from the beginning to the end. Although the queen mother raised Zhou Sheng because she had no children, she only wanted to support a prince in the upper ranks, but after all, she had put a lot of effort into it. Knowing this, I am afraid that I will be sad and angry.

What's more, Shen Ling felt that if he didn't tell the Queen Mother, it was equivalent to holding him a handle to Zhou Sheng, so that he could be better controlled in the future.

After Shen Ling went back, she asked the maid to throw out some pots of orchids. Anyway, she had pointed out that these pots of orchids were unnecessary.

When Zhou Sheng learned of the matter over there, he immediately understood it. I was afraid that Yang Liyan knew the truth, that's why he made such a move.

For the next few days, he has been a little uneasy, for fear that Yang Liyan will tell the queen dowager about it, but after more than half a month, the queen dowager still looks like the original when he asks for peace every day, and it does not seem to be knowing. , He was relieved.

As for Shen Ling, this month of living in Chu Xiu Palace passed very quickly, and it was time for them to conduct the final round of selection.

In the early morning, when several female officials walked into the Chuxiu Palace with the Queen Mother's verbal message, all the ladies had put on their best clothes and put on their best jewellery and waited.

Shen Ling was no exception. Although she had been appointed as a queen by the Queen Mother in private, she was still cautious on this day. She wore a peach-pink dress embroidered with peonies, which improved her complexion and temperament a lot. The appearance that could be scored by eight points was actually improved to nine points. Due to the appearance of a few outstanding girls, it can not be said that they are gorgeous, but standing among three hundred people, that outstanding temperament will still make People noticed her at a glance.

Looking at the well-dressed niece in front of her, the queen mother nodded involuntarily, very satisfied with Yang Liyan's performance in her heart.

The court ladies of Chu Xiu Palace have already submitted the list of the best ladies in the past month, so this last round of the draft is just a cutscene.

After the queen mother turned her gaze back, she gave an order, and the female officer next to her began to roll her name. The Xiu girl who was called took a few steps forward, and a little **** gave her a velvet flower or a purse.

The show ladies have already learned from the palace ladies that receiving the velvet flower means that they can be named concubines in the future, and the purse is filled with naked silver women, which will become the palace ladies in the future.

Shen Ling was called by the name very quickly, and without a surprise he got a velvet flower, and then led by the little **** to the side hall next to it.

After waiting for almost half an hour, five beautiful ladies walked into the side hall one after another, all of which were outstanding in appearance.

It's just that Shen Ling looked at these five people, plus himself, there were only six people, and she couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the queen mother was able to take over Zhou Sheng for her niece in the future, so she reduced the original fifty old cases to six in this way.

Although she didn't like sharing her husband with others, Zhou Sheng was another matter. She didn't care about all these 300 people as concubines.

After the female official announced the decree, Shen Ling did not leave the palace with a few beautiful women, but went to the queen mother's palace.

The Queen Mother was sipping tea, and when she saw her coming in, she ordered a cup of tea for her. After drinking half a cup of tea, Shen Ling asked her doubts.

The queen mother hummed softly: "It is the emperor's own intention that you will give such a good handle to Yushi when your aunt. He didn't want the daughter of the rich and powerful to enter the palace and secretly tampered with it. No one among them was of higher birth than yours. Later, he simply used the emptiness of the treasury as an excuse to refuse to accept the concubine, and the Aijia had to obey him."

Three days later.

Not surprisingly, Shen Ling received the decree from the queen. As for the other five show girls, they were all appointed as prostitutes, namely Roubi, Hebi, Libi, Wanbi and Rupi.

The five of them were all carried into the palace one after another twenty days later.

However, Shen Ling waited for more than two months before becoming the Queen of Emperor Qianhua's main palace after an extremely cumbersome wedding, and moved into Kunning Palace.

On the morning of the third day of the wedding, Shen Ling had the opportunity to meet the five concubines who had already been favored.

The warm-up exercise last night made Shen Ling already know that Zhou Sheng did not like men as the rumors said. The reason why he only took in these five concubines was nothing more than to gain the favor of the ministers. After all, the fewer the concubines in the harem, the lower the expenditure. This is something that ministers who consider the expenditure of the national treasury will appreciate it.

However, although there are few concubines in the harem, the five selected concubines are not one of a million beauties, and each has its own merits.

For example, the gentle girl who stood in the front and received the most pets was a very seductive beauty. Her appearance was second. What was rare was her figure, which was so uneven that even Shen Ling couldn't help but looked at her with envy when she saw it. Sigh Zhou Shengyan's blessing is not shallow.

Shen Ling said a few words to her gentleman with a faint smile, and the latter's wife was familiar with Shen Ling. It was the beautiful girl with beautiful eyebrows who had a good impression in front of Shen Ling before. .

Shen Ling felt that the title Zhou Sheng gave her fit her temper.

The Lili in the back is very good-looking, but at first glance, she knows that she is a sloppy beauty and has nothing to do with her.

Behind Libi was Wanbi. I heard that she was a Hanlin's daughter. She was quite talented when she was in the boudoir. She was not as beautiful as Libi, but she had a unique temperament of a talented woman.

The last one is Rufu, the one who has the least favor. Shen Ling looked at it roughly, and only felt that Rufu was not as good as the previous ones, but when she looked at it again, she found that Rufu had a temperament that others did not have. It looks particularly elegant, with a kind of elegance in the bones.

However, as far as Shen Ling knows, this Ruyi is only a commoner's family, and has no wealth or scholarly heritage. How did he cultivate this kind of demeanor?

Shen Ling couldn't help but asked Ruyi a few words curiously, and found that she spoke softly and slowly, and her words and sentences were more elegant, obviously well educated.

Her doubts deepened, but because of the first meeting with a few people, she didn't have much to say. One person gave a piece of jewelry that had already been prepared, and then served tea to the guests.
