Inside Yangxin Hall.
When Zhu Houzhao was considering the ten generals of the Nine Border Town, Zhang Xuan entered the palace.
The ten generals of the Nine Border Town were the ten border officials who guarded the northern border. They resisted the grassland tribes for the Ming Empire and held a large number of troops.
……
Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang watched as her niece, Zhang Xuan, entered the palace in a flying fish robe.
"What's going on?"
Empress Dowager Zhang asked.
Zhang Xuan smiled,"It's Xuan Er who asked for it from Cousin."”
The empress dowager shook her head.
The flying fish robe was embroidered with a spring knife. It was worn by the people around the emperor and was given to meritorious officials.
Now, Xuan 'er was asking for the Flying Fish Robe embroidered with a spring saber. This was because she wanted to become the Emperor's official.
"How good would it be if I asked for a phoenix coronet?”
The Empress Dowager thought to herself.
No wonder.
Although the current emperor was in his prime.
However, the two of them were cousins after all and had grown up together.
"Wang Lu, pass on this widow's decree. The world is choosing, and this Empress will preside over the emperor's wedding.”
A decree.
It spread throughout the world.
The world's talent.
All the counties started to get busy.
Aside from a few girls who felt that the palace gates were as deep as the sea and did not want to enter the palace, there were many who wanted to go to the capital and enter the palace.
After all, Tian Zi was still young.
He wasn't the old emperor.
Moreover, the portrait of the emperor had been circulating like wildfire in the streets. Many young girls hugged the portrait of the emperor to sleep at night.
Among them was Yang Yan, the daughter of Yang Yanhe, the Grand Scholar of the East Pavilion.
As the daughter of the pavilion elder, the talented Yang Yan did not have to worry about marriage. However, after seeing the portrait of the emperor, she did not think about eating or drinking. When she heard the Empress Dowager's decree that the world would select talents, she fell ill...
Yang Manor.
Yang Yan He was preparing a congratulatory letter.
His son, Yang Shen, was a great talent.
She hadn't seen him for a few days.
"Yang Shen, what are you busy with?"
Yang Yanhe asked the butler.
"Old Master, Miss Yan is sick."
"What?"
When Yang Yanhe heard that his favorite daughter was sick, he put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and turned around to ask,""Why didn't you report it?"
When Yang Yanhe heard that and looked at the butler, he knew that something must have happened.
Moreover, it was not a good thing.
Although her daughter was educated and reasonable, she was extremely arrogant. Moreover, she never left the house. It was impossible for her to do anything immoral!
"What exactly happened?"
Yang Yanhe was shocked.
The butler immediately knelt on the ground, but he did not dare to say anything.
Helpless.
Yang Yanhe personally set off to see what was going on!
In the backyard.
"Everyone, get down."
Yang Yanhe ordered everyone to go down and asked again and again.
In the end, he called his daughter's servant over.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The servant girl knelt on the ground and did not dare to hide anything."Old Master, ever since Miss saw a portrait, she…"
"How is it?"
"I don't want to eat or drink."
Yang Yan He understood immediately.
A grown woman should not be kept. Although this girl was usually arrogant, she had also reached the age of marriage. Presumably, she had taken a fancy to that young master?
This was a good thing.
Yang Yanhe didn't understand why.
At this moment, Yang Yan and his eldest son, Yang Shen, arrived.
"Yan 'er, does your heart belong to someone else?" Yang Yanhe asked when he saw Yang Shen.”
Yang Yan He asked.
Yang Shen nodded.
"Although marriage should be decided by parents, if Yan 'er really likes it, then let her be.”
"You can do whatever you want. This time, no matter what you say, you can't do it.”
"Which Young Master is it? No matter which family it is, I'll agree to this.”
"Father, I'm afraid you can't make the decision."”
"What a joke. I, Yang Yanhe, can't make the decision.”
"The current emperor."
Hearing his son's words, Yang Yan He's body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
"Sigh."
Yang Shen sighed.
"What happened?"
Yang Yan He asked his daughter's personal maid.
The servant girl didn't dare to hide anything and took out two paintings. One was drawn by a folk artist based on the emperor's portrait that was leaked out from the palace.
Yang Yanhe took a look. It was indeed Tian Zi.
"Old Master, there's another painting that Young Lady drew before she saw this one.”
The servant girl had thought that the young miss had secretly bought this painting, but she later found out that the young miss had accidentally painted this painting. In the end, it was exactly the same as the portrait of the emperor.
"How can there be such a strange thing in this world?"
Yang Yan He shook his head.
"There's another strange thing that I don't know.”
"That afternoon, a Taoist nun came to Baiyun Temple and said…"
"Say what?"
"The Daoist nun said, said that the young miss is…"
"What is it?"
"Empress."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yan He's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shut up in fear!
"Shh! How could he casually say such rebellious words!”
"You've brought great trouble to the Yang Family!"
"Moreover, this is a folk trick. Presumably, they know that the emperor is unmarried and say such things when they meet that unmarried lady, but they don't know the rules of the Great Ming Imperial Family.”
"Miss also knows, so she doesn't dare to say.”
The servant girl cried as she spoke." But, I saw that Miss was in love. I couldn't even drink tea. Later, I heard that the Empress Dowager had decreed that she would select talents from the world. Miss fell ill and couldn't get up.”
"Ling 'er deserves to die, Ling' er deserves to die. I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have shown the portrait of the emperor to young miss.”
After saying that, Ling 'er stood up and crashed into the pillar in the room.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Ah!"
Yang Shen did not expect that this servant girl was so fierce.
"Someone, quickly find a doctor."
Yang Yanhe spoke. Fortunately, the doctor who was treating Yang Yan came out.
After a few needles, the servant girl slowly woke up.
In addition, this servant girl was a woman, so she didn't have much strength. Otherwise, even the gods wouldn't be able to save her.
"Wuwuwu…"
After Ling 'er woke up, she cried loudly.
"Sir, please forgive me."
Yang Yan He patiently said to the doctor.
"What are you talking about? I didn't hear anything and won't say anything.”
"Yan 'er?"
The doctor shook his head.
"It's nothing else, but if you don't eat, I'm afraid that you're sick from longing and can't be cured.”
"What?"
Yang Yan He's expression changed drastically…
If Yan 'er liked other Langjun, Yang Yanhe had 120 ways to help them.
Even if he was the pavilion elder, even if he had extraordinary abilities, there was nothing he could do!
"But how do we send Yan 'er into the palace? The daughter of an official of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to enter the palace! This was a great taboo, and the Empress Dowager would definitely not allow it!”
……
In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had already issued a decree, and the counties were busy selecting beautiful women.
Just as the Empress Dowager was preparing to eat, the newly promoted Chuxiu Palace's Palace Master, Bai Muxue, entered the Cining Palace.
"Greetings, mother."
"Come, get up and eat together.”
The empress dowager was in a good mood when she saw the beautiful Bai Muxue.
Zhang Xuan did not leave Ci Ning Palace. This was the first time she had seen her cousin's concubine.
When Bai Muxue walked into Cining Palace, Zhang Xuan's gaze fell on Bai Muxue's face and never left.
"Xuan 'er, quickly come and greet Zhaoyi."
The empress dowager turned to Zhang Xuan and reminded her.
Bai Muxue was now Lady Zhaoyi, the master of Chuxiu Palace. Her status was far above Zhang Xuan's…
"Xuan 'er greets Empress Zhaoyi…Empress Zhaoyi is so handsome.”
Zhang Xuan realized that Bai Muxue was probably younger than her…
He looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old…
Becoming the emperor's concubine at the age of 15 or 16, tsk tsk, this Lady Zhaoyi's luck was so good that it exploded.
After Bai Muxue entered the Cining Palace, she recognized Zhang Xuan. Although this was the first time she had seen Zhang Xuan, she had heard of her from Ouyang Jing 'er.
The Empress Dowager's niece was doted on by thousands of people.
She was conferred the title of Princess Xuan by the late Emperor…
"Little Sister Xuan 'er, quickly get up."
After Bai Muxue helped Zhang Xuan up, the Empress Dowager sat down and said,""This widow has already issued a decree to select talents from all over the world to preside over His Majesty's wedding. In a few days, the beautiful women will be sent to the palace. You are the master of Chuxiu Palace, so you should share the burden with His Majesty. You have to look through these beautiful women one by one…"
In the Empress Dowager's opinion, since Bai Muxue had been conferred the title of Chuxiu Palace's head by the Emperor, she should also participate in the affairs of the harem, especially the selection of talents.
It was obvious that the empress dowager had already treated Bai Muxue as her daughter-in-law. The empress dowager did not hide the matters in the palace from her…
When Bai Muxue heard the empress dowager's words, she quickly stood up.""Mother, ChenQie will do her best…"
The empress dowager bowed." There's no need to get up. There are no outsiders here. We don't need those complicated formalities…"
"It's mother. ChenQie will listen to mother.”
At this moment, Bai Muxue was still a little afraid and uneasy.
After all, the woman sitting in front of him was the empress dowager. She was the empress dowager who had once ruled the six palaces, and she did not even dare to raise her head to look at her.
