Chapter 1 Flower Viewing Banquet
"What?" Fang Lingchu, who was hugging her big elbow and happily, was dumbfounded when she heard her father say that she would enter the palace to be an official.
Fang Yelin was so angry when she looked at her silly daughter.
"Your Majesty asked you to go to court with me tomorrow."
"Why?" Fang Lingchu didn't understand. She was also very famous in the capital, but the way she became famous was different from her sister.
Her sister was famous for her talent, and she was famous for her wealth.
His Majesty didn't know what she was like, didn't her father know?
"Why are there so many problems? Just follow me tomorrow."
Fang Lingchu looked at her father pitifully and said, "Dad, I can't get up. Can I refuse?" Shangshu
Fang said angrily, "Your Majesty has issued the imperial edict, and now all the civil and military officials in the court know about it. Do you want our family to be executed for disobeying the edict?"
Fang Lingchu was pitiful. She really didn't want to go to work.
What was the difference between going to court this time and her previous work?
At this time, the system came out and said: [Host, why are you so resistant to going to court?]
Fang Lingchu explained weakly: [In my previous life, I was already very tired from working 996. Now I have to go to court, which is 001, and it’s so early, so I can’t sleep in.]
The system said: [Okay, but looking at your father, it seems that you can’t refuse.] When
Minister Fang heard his daughter’s voice, he really wanted to beat this lazy girl to death. He didn’t want to see this girl cold again, so he could only snort and leave.
Fang Lingchu looked at her father’s back and complained to the system unhappily: [It’s all because of that poem.]
The memory returned to yesterday.
"See the Queen, the Queen is blessed with good health."
The Queen looked at everyone, raised her jade hand slightly, and said: "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Queen."
All the noble ladies knelt down and sat down, and Fang Lingchu returned to her mother and sister.
"Looking at the flowers in full bloom in the palace, and thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought of inviting you to the palace to chat."
"Yes." Everyone stood up and responded.
Fang Lingchu followed her sister and muttered softly, "It's so tiring to be in the palace. It's better to be at home..." Before
she finished complaining, she was pulled by her sister next to her, and then she reacted and sat down.
She didn't know how many times she had stood up, she was really tired.
The eldest princess pulled the corner of the queen's clothes and said coquettishly, "Mother, didn't you say that you want us to write a poem on the theme of chrysanthemums? Then have you thought of what to use as a prize?"
The queen scratched the eldest princess's nose lovingly and said, "You! It's just a prize, and mother has to pay for it." The
eldest princess laughed.
This scene. On the surface, it is a flower viewing banquet, but in fact it is a concubine selection banquet for the prince to choose a concubine.
The queen smiled as she looked at them, and then said to the people below: "The winner today will receive a phoenix hairpin from this palace."
The noble ladies were all delighted. They knew that today was not just an ordinary flower-viewing banquet, but a banquet for the prince to select a concubine. However, they did not expect that the eldest prince or even his sons might also select a concubine. If they could not get the prince, who was favored by heaven, his other brothers could accept it.
As long as they got the queen's prize, it was equivalent to having a chance to participate in the selection of concubines. Everyone was very excited.
After all, the royal children were all outstanding.
Soon, the palace maids presented the noble ladies present with paper, ink, brush and inkstone.
Fang Lingchu looked at the things on her desk. She didn't want to move. She was now repelled by these things. In her previous life, she experienced the cruel college entrance examination, and then the job examination. She didn't want to take any exams in this life.
Fang Lingyan, who was next to her, looked at her sister like this, shook her head helplessly, and continued to write her own.
Although she didn't want to be the crown princess, with the abilities of her father and brother, there must be someone in their family who would enter the palace.
Fang Lingchu propped up his head and looked around, watching everyone writing furiously, and wailed with despair [Ahhh... so boring...]
Everyone! ! ! !
Everyone's hands trembled, and some words were crooked.
Everyone stared at
who was howling!
The Queen above was also looking at the noble ladies below in confusion. Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and pursed their lips in silence, they all thought they had heard it wrong.
At this time, the voice sounded again.
[Guagua, can you help me think of an ancient poem about chrysanthemums?]
The system said with some gloating: [Host, I am a gossip system, not a scholar system, and I don't have that knowledge.]
Now the Queen heard it clearly, and looked around to find the source of the sound.
At the same time, observing other people, looking at everyone's micro-expressions, they could hear it.
The Queen looked at the eldest princess next to her and frowned slightly
. The others didn't dare to move. If the Queen knew that she could hear this strange sound, let alone the Crown Princess, she might be arrested as a lunatic.
Only Fang Lingyan knew what was going on, but they couldn't say anything. They were also afraid that their sister would start to think about it again, and then their entire family might be executed.
So, everyone present was doing their own thing, pretending that they didn't hear anything.
Fang Lingchu hung his head unhappily and said, "Then tell me some gossip, let me take a moment to see if I can remember anything."
The system chuckled and said, "Did you see the girl opposite your sister? She is the granddaughter of the university scholar. She is known for her gentleness, dignity and generosity. In fact, she plays a lot in private and even keeps a male lover!
Fang Lingchu looked up in surprise and saw Lu Chuyu opposite her. "No way, she can still participate in the selection of the crown princess after playing so much. I heard my mother said that the queen likes her very much. Can such a person be the mother of the country? "
This sentence was accurately transmitted to the ears of the queen, and also to the hearts of everyone present.
Some are happy and some are sad.
At the same time, everyone also knows that it is not that they are sick, nor that there are demons and monsters in the palace, but the voice of the girl opposite Lu Chuyu.
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone should be able to hear it.
In this way, Lu Chuyu's reputation, which has been operating for so long, is completely gone.
Lu Chuyu's face was pale, and her hand holding the brush was shaking. She looked up and saw. Strange eyes came from all directions, and she wanted to attack immediately.
Fortunately, the girl next to her pulled her in time. She stabilized her mentality, stood up and said: "Empress, I am not..."
"What's wrong with Miss Lu? She looks so bad. Come, take Miss Lu away to have a good rest."
The maid behind the queen immediately pulled her away.
Everyone is smart. The queen's words have already told everyone that Lu Chuyu has no chance to be the crown princess.
Fang Lingchu looked at the person who was taken away in some unexpected way, inexplicably. Fang
Lingchu was also glared at by the other party for no reason.
Fang Lingchu [? ? ? What's the situation, why is she glaring at me, did I provoke her. ]
Fang Lingyan next to her said silently in her heart [You exposed my secrets in your heart, I don't just want to glare at you, I even want to kill you. ]
Fang Lingyan is so scared now, praying that my sister will not eat melons randomly.
Otherwise, their family will really die.
This palace is full of nobles.
Guagua [Tsk tsk tsk, you can tell she has a bad temper, and she plays so wildly]
Fang Lingchu nodded subconsciously, looked up to look at her sister, and then met everyone's eyes...
[What's going on, why are they all looking at me, do they know that I'm not answering the questions properly?]
Everyone...
Everyone quickly retracted their gazes and busy themselves with their own things.
The Queen above also found the source of the voice.
The Queen looked at everyone and said, "How are your poems?"
"I'm good, please take a look, Your Majesty..."
The neat voice came, and Fang Lingchu looked at the blank paper in front of her.
[Did they rehearse secretly without telling me? They spoke so uniformly.]
Everyone...
System: [This is called a lady from a noble family. Look at your sister]
Fang Lingchu said unconvincedly [Me too] System
: [Yes, yes, host, you are a lady from a noble family. 】
【Do you want to be punished again?】
The Queen listened to her cute conversation with that melon-like girl and couldn't help asking, "Which girl are you from?"
Fang Lingchu saw the Queen looking at her, and hurried forward, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I am from the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
The Queen looked at Fang Lingchu kindly, and seemed to be surprised to ask Mrs. Fang in private. There are two girls in her family. The little girl looks healthy, but she has never appeared in front of people. Could it be...
Entering the palace today, it is probably because I said that I would bring all the young ladies of the right age, so they let this girl enter the palace.
"I heard that Miss Fang is not in good health. I just came to the palace today. Do you want to let the imperial physician take a look?"
