Chapter 1
Yan Qi Dynasty
In the 35th year of SF Express, the new emperor granted Xuan Yi ascended the throne and changed the year name to Shunxing. At this point, the 35th year of SF Express was changed to the first year of Shunxing.
"The Emperor declares the
I have ordered the two ministries of the Household and Rites to follow this order, and to patrol the prefectures and counties. All the girls and women above the heads, under the flower letters, with beautiful faces and orioles sounds and ceremonial etiquettes, and those who are good at the six arts are among the following. I have held my orders and presented them with their names and tests. On the sixth day of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, the ceremony was selected to select the wife, and the Yin-Yang, the Min'an of Yanqi, and the extension of the ancestral temples is here."
In the sixth year of Shunxing, with the imperial edict of a talent show coming out, all parties moved and explored their depth.
Today, the emperor has ascended the throne for more than 22 years. After six years of ascending the throne, he has accepted wise ministers and has good governance. He has issued 63 instructions to reduce taxes, increase land, and investigate corruption and elimination. Now, the country is prosperous and the people are safe.
This year, there are only one princess without children. The whole country is moving, and now the emperor is in his prime and has no children. If he can give birth to a son and half of his daughter, even if he is a prince in the end, he can protect the family's glory for a hundred years.
The Empress of the Central Palace was the princess of the emperor at that time, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun were the concubines at that time. Concubine Yun had the only daughter of the current emperor.
The most favored concubines are Shufei and Xin Zhaoyi, who just entered the palace three years ago. Although the other concubines are favored, they are not conspicuous.
In the early morning, Chu Yanzi stood up and went to pay his respects to his wife, her mother.
As soon as he walked into Furong Hall, Qianling, the eldest maid next to her, saw her and smiled, "Miss is here!"
Chu Yanzi was wearing a white pleated silk shirt with red peach blossom petals embroidered on it. They were beautiful and exquisitely crafted. Today, she was wearing a girl's double bun, with a peach petal and green bead hairpin inserted diagonally on it. The tassels hung down, making Chu Yanzi more and more charming.
Chu Yanzi nodded at her, with a smile in her eyes, and spoke softly, "Is Mother up?"
Qianling was stunned. Since the young lady woke up for three months, she seemed to have become a different person. She always spoke like she acted coquettishly, which made people unable to resist.
"Xiao Ling?"
Seeing that Qianling didn't speak, Chu Yanzi paused, covered her lips and chuckled, and called her.
Qian Ling came to her senses, her face turned slightly red, and she smiled embarrassedly at Chu Yanzi, raised her hand to open the curtain, and replied to her, "I'm getting up, I'm waiting for the lady."
Chu Yanzi picked up the hem of the skirt with one hand and raised her foot to cross the threshold. Seeing that Mrs. Chu was already dressed neatly, she let go of her skirt and walked over, and gave a gentle and clever salute, "My daughter has seen her mother."
"Get up quickly, so many etiquettes are so good."
Mrs. Chu called her up as usual, but her face was filled with a sad face that could not be concealed. Chu Yanzi saw it and was slightly confused. She was always kind of demeanor when her mother was always upright. Chu Yanzi had never seen her change her face during this period. What's wrong today?
Chu Yanzi closed his eyes, walked up to her a few steps, held her arm, shook it, and gently acted coquettishly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? She looked frowning. If my father saw it, he would think his daughter would make you sad."
Mrs. Chu was amused by her, but she just stretched out her smile for a moment. She lowered her head and looked at her little daughter who was acting coquettish beside her. She looked innocent and innocent with her eyes, and she had a delicate and pretty face. She felt so heart was melted. She was not willing to let her enter the deep palace and be wronged.
Naturally, this news could not be hidden from her. Mrs. Chu sighed and pulled Chu Yanzi to sit down, "Sit down quickly, look at you like this, you are still a lady from a noble family!"
Chu Yanzi pouted at her, held her movements, and sat down gracefully, expressing the demeanor of a lady from a family to the fullest.
"Today, the emperor has issued an imperial edict, and there will be a draft in one month."
Chu Yanzi was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Chu's frowning in the morning was just for this matter, and asked in confusion, "Why is my mother frowning when she is the emperor's talent show?"
"For this talent show, all women of the age of seventh-rank official and above will participate. Where is the Gaogong and Shenyuan a good place? I don't want to let my son go?" Mrs. Chu's face, which has always been rich and calm, was filled with sorrow.
It turned out that it was for this matter that Chu Yanzi held her hand with a soft and lovely smile in her eyes, "Don't worry, mom, who is the emperor? He has seen countless beauties. His daughter Pu Liuzi may not have chosen me now."
Mrs. Chu looked at her face, although she was not stained with makeup, but still saw her stunning face and sighed, with a sad look at her.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yanzi smiled and comforted her, "Why should you be so worried about me? Even if I enter the palace, what's the point?"
"You child, once you enter the palace, you are only a concubine. You stay outside the palace and find a man with the same family background for you. Wouldn't it be better to marry into a family husband?"
Chu Yanzi felt her kind heart and snuggled into her arms. Although she was not the original owner, she had been through it for three months. Her love for her touched her.
