In Xufu Garden, the Ripple Sisters have a new friend today, Sun Wangyue, who is only thirteen years old.

Because of the palace maid's temptation of the prince, in addition to the negative impact, it also shows that the prince has grown up and should start looking for a candidate for the palace.

It was Empress Zhang's mother, Mrs. Peng Chengbo, who was the first to make the move, she was a native of Yongcheng County, and learned that Sun Wangyue, the daughter of Sun Zhong, the chief secretary of Yongcheng County, was handsome and knowledgeable, so she personally recommended it to Empress Zhang and was raised in Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang's intention is self-evident, she wants her son to have a person of his own, so that Zhu Zhanji, who is eager to be a horse, can have a trustworthy beauty around him, and the well-behaved Sun Wangyue also lives up to expectations, and as soon as he enters the palace, he gets along very well with Zhu Zhanji, who has just returned to Beijing.

In the warm pavilion, the old lady was talking and laughing with the old lady of Pengcheng, Queen Zhang was also chatting with Zhu Qiaoqiao, Mu Ningxue and others, Xu Hao looked at Sun Wangyue, and said in her heart, will this charming girl be the future Queen of Daming?

In the past month, all parties have been intensively looking for a candidate for the crown princess for Zhu Zhanji, in order to avoid suspicion, the Xu family did not participate, and even Queen Zhang herself was a little hesitant, no one knew whether she would stand up for Sun Wangyue.

Zhu Qiaoqiao said that according to common sense, it is unlikely that the queen will build Sun Wangyue, precisely because Sun Wangyue is Empress Zhang's person, and Xu Hao thinks so.

Today's visit to the Xu family also shows that the queen is very distressed and undecided. The selection of the future mother of the country is too important, it is related to the luck of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and no one dares to take it seriously.

Compared with the worries of the elders, the girls seem to be somewhat heartless. Talking about some things and some of them.

Mu Lanxiang, who was pink-makeup, shouted: "These days can suffocate me, if I could come alone, I would have flown a long time ago." It's my mother who can't bear me. Don't let me stay here. ”

Ripple smiled: "You are still young, and when you came, you just blindly dragged the second brother to mess around, which delayed his studies." ”

"Then why did you invite me this time?" Mu Lanxiang looked coquettish.

Ripple pointed at Xu Yu, who was smiling and groaning, and said, "It's all your ghost, don't we know?" ”

"It's not me, it's not me." Xu Yu, who was busy waving his hand, turned a little red and secretly glanced at Mu Lanxiang. The other party was also secretly looking at him, and the two villains turned even redder at the same time.

The room was full of laughter, and Sun Wangyue, who had just arrived, looked interesting. I couldn't help laughing, the Xu family's qiē was as eye-opening to her as in the palace, but the atmosphere in the palace was indescribably weird, and anyone who was good to her. They have repeatedly told us to be cautious in our words and deeds at all times. Don't do anything out of line, say things out of line, where is the Xu family at ease? Besides, she is just an ordinary little palace maid in the palace, not free at all, and she is ashamed of herself, but also envious of her.

The girls of the Xu family have a very affectionate attitude towards her, they are young and have no scheming, and there is no potential conflict of interest in the future. Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule in the court that the daughter of a powerful person cannot be canonized as a queen under any circumstances. You have to choose a virtuous woman with an ordinary family background, and everyone knows that if you kill Xu Hao, you will not send your own children into the palace to suffer.

Xu Hao is very glad that this is the Ming Dynasty, if it is in the Manchu Dynasty, the daughters and nieces have to enter the palace to be selected, once selected, either to warm the emperor's bed or to give it to some brother and other princes and nobles, or to the Mongolian nobles, but so many later generations of women are envious to death.

To put it bluntly, it is to envy the slavery of the Manchu era, and they are eager to sit back and enjoy it, the so-called pride of the heavens, even if they are slaves to the royal family, in turn they are the masters of the toiling public.

Of course, Xu Hao can't get rid of vulgarity, and he is flattered by the third master and the third master, and many times he is quite fluttering, probably when he laughs at the vanity of the brainless woman, he has already been intoxicated.

The elders looked at the round table set up in front of the girls, a delicate fruit plate, opened two jars of grape wine, smiled and opened a banquet, and invited Queen Zhang to sit in the chief.

During the banquet, Empress Zhang whispered: "What do you think of that girl Mochizuki?" ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "She has only been in the palace for a few days? This is the second time I've seen her, how do I know how she is? ”

"Alas!" Empress Zhang shook her head slightly, "According to my observation in the past few days, she is too smart, and she is also very urban, and she is also soft and charming, and she is a little impulsive and frivolous, but she is a good child with good character." I don't think she's fit to be the crown princess. But Zhan Ji likes her very much, since they get along day and night, Zhan Ji has been good to her wholeheartedly, not to mention women, even the most beloved crickets don't play anymore, and recently he has been keen on painting. ”

Xu Hao nodded, Zhu Zhanji's civil and military skills are not lies, he is tall and powerful, he is knowledgeable and likes to have fun, he is decisive, very assertive, and he is a first-class rich and handsome.

The old lady and several wives chatted with Mrs. Pengcheng, Mu Ningxue and the others avoided this side, everyone knew that it was impossible for the queen to come to Xu's mansion for no reason, she must have discussed things with Xu Hao.

Empress Zhang's two brothers, among which the indisputable Zhang Sheng has been trained by Xu Hao since that year, they have been very promising, both of them have been outside the army and have achieved military exploits, and have been successively named non-hereditary marquises, but they are also not in Beijing all the year round, and even in Beijing, Empress Zhang will not look for her mother's brother.

This is also why Empress Zhang relies on Xu Hao very much, and Xu Hao does not take power, does not fight for power, and does not tell right and wrong, which is the most reassuring.

As the saying goes, things gather people in groups, Xu Hao's personality is like this, and he gets along with Zhu Gaochi and his wife with the same heart, and after so many years of getting along, they already know each other's personalities.

Ye Qin was so lonely, Xu Xiangyue said that his wife Liu had said a joke about sending her to the palace to be a concubine for the prince, and she also had some meaning to avoid suspicion, so she deduced that she was not in good health, but she couldn't help them from grinding and pulling hard, so they were all pulled.

The girls also seem to be rebellious, and in front of their elders, they don't want to write poems anymore.

Princess Jiaxing is regarded as a junior by Xu Hao, but in fact she is an equal, but she is the sister-in-law of Queen Zhang, when it comes to identity, ripples and they all look at her horse, at this time she savagely rolled up her sleeves and said: "Let's guess boxing, let's have a point on the altar, and first launch two marshals with a large amount of alcohol." ”

The big guy suddenly looked at each other, and the ripples were also weak in front of the queen, and said weakly: "You are the only one here who is enough to be a marshal, who dares to confront you?" I don't think it's better for us to give orders, we can barely accompani. ”

Ye Qin glanced at the smiling queen mother, worried that Jiaxing would have nothing to do, so she hurriedly said: "Didn't we get a book of Hundred Flowers a few days ago, we haven't used it yet, and we brought it to Miss Mochizuki to see, and it can't be used." ”

Soon the maid sent a brocade booklet, Sun Wangyue took it, and the people around her also came over to look at it together, and said, "This is still a little interesting, but you have to use dice." ”

At that moment, they explained that they used two dice, and threw their names, that is, they followed the method in the score, because Sun Wangyue was a guest, and asked her to give an order.

"I've never done it before, and I don't know what trick to throw." Sun Wangyue threw it casually, seeing that it was a four, a six.

Everyone said, "This must be good." ”

Here, Queen Zhang smiled: "The girl's family must have a very elegant play, nothing more than reciting poems and composing poems, but she should take the opportunity to see the children's talents." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled and said, "Niangniang really thinks highly of my children, they don't have a proper shape all day long, and I don't know how many I want to get drunk today." ”

"Ahh Empress Zhang was stunned and looked at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao smiled nonchalantly: "You should be arrogant when you are young, when you are in the boudoir, you can make trouble as much as you want, and I don't allow anyone to interfere with their freedom." ”

Empress Zhang tasted it carefully and sighed: "There is indeed some truth, when you get married, even if you want to mess around, you can't get it." ”

Over there, look at it, this name is called Jinping Spring, painted a branch of begonia, there is a song at the bottom, "drunk east wind sweat roaming", the person who gets this sentence congratulates a cup, dare to love is completely a wine order.

Lan Chun filled everyone's wine glasses, Jiaxing urged Sun Wangyue to drink first, Sun Wangyue didn't dare to drink, and Wen Crepe only took a sip.

Ripple smiled: "The order book wants you to indulge in the east wind, just take a sip, where is it for you?" Besides, it's the first glass of wine, and everyone tastes good when you drink it well. ”

"This." Sun Wangyue looked at the queen in embarrassment, and saw her nodding with a smile, so she drank the wine dry, and then everyone also toasted the congratulatory cup, and when the wine reached the stomach, a trace of blush rose on the pretty faces, and the atmosphere suddenly rose.

Throwing red again, counting Xu Xiangyue, Xiangyue threw two pieces, and said with a smile: "I know that I can't throw anything good, this must be looking at the blue sky with two eyes, do you still want to check?" ”

"It's not a promotion chart, it's a punishment if it's dirty, and look at the score." After Ripple finished speaking, he opened the order and read: "The title is a jade plate Qingying, and the painting is a white peony medicine, 'early appearance of pearls and jade', and the person who gets this drink a huge cup." ”

"Oops!" Xiangyue had a bitter face, "No matter how nice he says, he will be punished in the end." There are no big cups here, just one drink, please. ”

The question is, where are the people willing? Mu Lanxiang jumped up and ran to Xu Hao's side, and Xu Hao casually handed him a big white jade wine bowl, which provoked the old lady to say angrily: "It's all your back, you have a group of little drunkards at home, and you dare to drink in front of us." ”

Xu Hao looked up to the sky and snorted, not taking it seriously, which made Queen Zhang can't help but laugh.

Poor Xu Xiangyue was forced to drink a large bowl full of wine, shook her head in a daze, and shouted for revenge.

This time it was Ripples' turn, Ripples clasped her hands together, chanting God bless, don't let her be punished for a lustful person, threw a five, a six, and busily checked the score by herself.

It turns out that this name is called the bead curtain spring letter, painted a branch of red plum, the song is "Qiao Dongjun spring heart bias to the small plum shoots", the person who gets this drink a cup, the left side of the sitting drink a cup, the begonia drink a cup. On the left happened to be Xu Xiangyue, who had just been poured wine, and Begonia was Sun Wangyue, and the three girls immediately complained.

When the children were laughing, Zhu Qiaoqiao said as if unintentionally: "Only after drinking can you see a person's true temperament." ”

Empress Zhang understood and nodded slightly. Xu Hao looked at Xu Ye sitting beside Ripple with pain, and said in his heart, will this little rabbit cub be drunk and promiscuous? Ripples, we can get our own weight, but we can't call the birds and beasts light! (To be continued......)
