Making Waves

In mid-November, the Crown Princess of the East Palace issued an order to select Princess Minshun's royal relatives, nobles, and wealthy officials to enter the East Palace to meet her.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the time to examine the candidates for the princess's companionship. However, any family that intends to send a daughter to be elected is on guard, for fear that their daughter will do anything wrong in front of the princess.

Today's Crown Princess is no better than before. In the past, the Crown Prince was sick and weak, and everyone thought that he would die soon. The childless Crown Princess was nothing more than a future royal widow, useless. In addition to being used by the new Crown Prince to express his

Kindness has no value anymore. Therefore, everyone will show respect to the Crown Princess in front of the royal family and courtiers, but in private few people really take her seriously. At most, they are concerned about her father Tang Shangshu

Because of her face, she would not show her true attitude easily. Even Chen Liangdi, because she gave birth to the only grandson of the emperor, had been in prominence for several years and became the target of everyone's fawning. In addition to being pregnant, the princess has not yet given birth.

Outside of those ten months, I really had no sense of existence.

But now that the prince has recovered from his illness, although he still suffers from minor illnesses every year, he is not serious and his status is very stable. Even if he has no children yet, he will definitely inherit the throne. Then the prince will be the lord of the sixth palace and the mother of a country.

.No matter which concubine the future heir of the prince is born from, he must respect the prince as his mother. Such a well-born mother of the country has a reputation of being virtuous. Her natal family is quite famous in Shilin and among the courtiers. As long as

Unless she makes a big mistake, no one can shake her position. Who in the government and the public would dare to slight her?

Nowadays, Princess Minshun, the only biological daughter of the Crown Princess and the only biological granddaughter of the current emperor, is choosing the companion. Even if only four girls can be selected in the end, no one dares to ignore it. They are not afraid that their daughter will not be selected.

, I was afraid that my daughter would say something wrong, break some taboo, and offend Crown Princess Tang, which would be bad.

The two princes' mansions of the Qin family originally had nothing to do with the selection of a companion, but now that the Chengenhou and Yongjia princes have jointly recommended Qin Jinchun for the election, this matter has become involved with them.

Originally, the fifth girl Qin Jinrong wanted to go, but she had already made trouble in front of her parents more than once. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Chengen, did not agree, and Mrs. Min objected coldly, while Qin Shutao felt sorry for his daughter and did not want her to enter the palace.

Waiting for others. These three refused to nod, so Qin Jinrong's fuss was all in vain. In the end, only Qin Jinchun's name was reported. When the news came down, Qin Jinrong was so angry that he refused to eat and threw it on the floor.

something.

Her mother, Mrs. Min, didn't pay attention to her nonsense at all. Instead, she solemnly said to Qin Jinchun: "Don't pay attention to what your fifth sister said. She is a child who is not sensible. It's just nonsense. But you need to be careful when entering the palace this time.

Just be careful. Practice your etiquette and be sure not to be rude in the palace. You have been recommended by our Chengenhou Mansion. If you are rude in any way, it will also damage the reputation of our Chengenhou Mansion.

Qin Jinchun knew that this aunt had always been cold-tempered, and it was rare to see Mrs. Min giving her such careful guidance. She was moved and hurriedly responded, thanking Mr. Min again and again.

In addition to Min, Chengenhou's wife Xu and her second aunt Yao also enthusiastically prepared for her to enter the palace. From the hairstyle she wore, the jewelry she wore, to the clothes, shoes and socks she wore, and the hangings around her waist

The accessories were all thoughtfully thought out and prepared for her, which moved her deeply.

Mrs. Xu also pointed out a big girl next to her: "When you enter the palace, I will lend you the parrot. This girl often comes with me to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and she is familiar with the palace etiquette and rules.

She also knows the roads in the palace and has followed me to the East Palace twice. With her by your side, if you don't understand anything, just ask her."

This is the most important help! Qin Jinchun quickly kowtowed to thank Mrs. Xu again, feeling secretly relieved.

She is different from Qin Jinhua and others. She has never entered the palace. Because she is the daughter of the second wife, she is not familiar with these things. Although she has learned the rules and etiquette in the palace in the boudoir school, she has no chance to use them.

Therefore, she was a little unskilled. She was really worried that after entering the palace, she would make some mistakes and make a fool of herself in front of the nobles. Now that there is a parrot here, she feels more confident. The only thing she worries about is that the parrot is many

I'm afraid that the powerful girl in front of her is not as obedient and useful as her own girl. I hope she won't be able to control her when the time comes.

In addition, Qin Jian and Qin Jinhua gave Qin Jinchun another idea: "Aunt Fu used to come to the palace often. She said she was your great-grandmother. If there is anything unfamiliar with the etiquette, you might as well go to her.

consult?"

This sentence reminded Qin Jinchun that Aunt Fu lived in the Chengenhou Mansion! Because she lived in seclusion on weekdays and seldom left the hospital. She only immersed herself in knocking on scriptures and chanting Buddha, and she did not invite her, her great-granddaughter, to meet her.

, so she didn't think of the other party for a moment.

However, Aunt Fu was once a frequent visitor to Cining Palace. I remember that when Mrs. Xue moved out of this mansion, Mrs. Xue scolded her mother-in-law for a long time through the courtyard wall because she refused to follow her grandson. She still does this to this day.

She often complained to Aunt Fu at home, saying that if the latter hadn't been greedy for wealth and refused to move with the second roommate, now when she was going to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, she would have brought her Xue and her eldest granddaughter Qin Jinyi with her. As a result, the second room

After a few years, there was no chance to enter the palace again, and Aunt Fu never entered the palace again. It was a lose-lose situation! Mrs. Xue felt that Aunt Fu was really stupid.

Qin Jinchun didn't think so. She still remembered this great-grandmother, who was very kind to her in the past. Sometimes she sneaked into the east courtyard to pick fruits from the jujube tree in the courtyard, and Aunt Fu even called her

He went over, held her hand, asked her questions, and asked her to eat delicious vegetarian cakes. Except from Aunt Fu, she had never eaten such delicious vegetarian cakes before, and she could never buy such delicious cakes outside.

Thinking like this, Qin Jinchun immediately decided to go to Aunt Fu's place to eat vegetarian cakes again.

Not to mention how happy Qin Jinchun met Aunt Fu, the news that she had the opportunity to be the companion of Princess Minshun spread back to the second room, immediately causing an uproar.

Mrs. Xue was overjoyed, and Mrs. Xue was also overjoyed. Qin Jinyi's expression almost changed on the spot: "How could this happen?! I have never heard the fourth sister mention this matter before! How could she hide such a big thing from the family?!"

Little Xue frowned and looked at her eldest daughter: "Your sister usually lives in the Chengenhou Mansion. Since the Chengenhou Mansion recommended her, she may not be able to know in advance and report to the family in advance. There are only two girls around her to serve her.

, it’s not easy to go out. If the family doesn’t send someone to see her, it will be difficult for her to ask someone to deliver a letter back. As a sister, why don’t you know how to be considerate of your sister? This is a good thing, why are you angry? "

Qin Jinyi only complained about her mother's favoritism and ignored little Xue. She hugged her grandmother Xue's arm and cried: "Grandma, it's not that I don't understand my sister, but I'm sad that my sister and I are so different. Since she

Why didn't you tell me that there was a way to be chosen as the imperial granddaughter's companion? Even if the girl next to her couldn't go out easily and just spent one or two hundred dollars, couldn't she still ask a mother-in-law to send a letter home? What if?

I had known about it and had already submitted my name. With my talents and knowledge, and being the Queen’s grand-nephew, how could I not be a little princess’s companion?!”

Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment, and then started to think deeply: "That's right, if you can become the princess of the East Palace, your worth will be extraordinary. I don't believe that with the support of the East Palace, you can still find a good family?

!”

Qin Jinyi showed a proud smile.

Little Xue couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but interrupt: "Sister Yi, don't talk nonsense. How old is Princess Minshun? How old are you? Take a closer look at the people on the list of candidates for reading companion.

They are all about the same age as the princess, the youngest is ten years old and the eldest is less than fourteen, but you... you are already eighteen years old! Even if you give your name, how can you be the princess's companion?

?!"

Qin Jinyi said disapprovingly: "You have to be older to take good care of the princess. The so-called companion reading means that you have to accompany the princess to study and play. What's so difficult about this? When the former princess came to Chengenhou's mansion, I also

I once played with her. I remember that at that time, I often persuaded the princess to be polite in words and deeds and not to be naughty. The princess also praised me for being like an eldest sister, being gentle and steady. I just don't want to apply for the election. Once I am elected, I will definitely be able to do it.

Selected!" He said with a sullen expression on his face, "It's all my fault that the fourth sister didn't tell me in time, otherwise it wouldn't be her turn to take the lead?!"

Little Xue felt weak in her heart. She closed her eyes and didn't want to say anything.

She didn't expect that Qin Jinyi actually said to Ms.

The three younger sisters who came back from the northwest countryside are all better than her. If she enters the palace to be selected and competes with those talented daughters of famous families, she will definitely make a fool of herself! By then, our family will also be embarrassed. How about you?

Tell the fourth sister to ask her to give this qualification to me? The princess and I have known each other for a long time, and we are both talented and outstanding, so I will definitely bring glory to the family!"

"This..." Mr. Xue hesitated.

Little Xue couldn't help but said again: "The East Palace has already chosen someone, and it is said that it is Chun'er. How can we let Sister Yi take over without authorization? Wouldn't it be disrespectful to let the Crown Princess know? Madam, this is absolutely impossible

useless!"

Qin Jinyi said angrily: "This is not an imperial edict, what is there to worry about? The Crown Princess has always been kind, and she has praised me before. If the eldest brother hadn't put in good words for the fourth sister, it wouldn't have been the fourth sister's turn this time.

My sister is the one doing this!"

Little Xue was so angry that she covered her chest and gasped: "Stop talking nonsense! The Crown Princess just complimented you politely. Who do you think you are? After so many years, how do you know that this nobleman still remembers you?!

But if you act without authorization and offend the Eastern Palace, causing your father to lose his official position, it will be too late to regret it! How can you be allowed to mess around with such a big matter?!"

After scolding her daughter, she went to plead with her mother-in-law, Mrs.

Son, it can’t be justified. Anyone would be angry. Chun’er is also your biological granddaughter. If she can have a good future, it will be good for our family. I know that you always love Sister Yi, but you can’t do it for Yi’s sake.

Just one sister can ruin the future of the uncle and the other children, right?!"

Hearing that it would affect her son's official position, Mrs.

It won't work. However, you don't have to worry. When your sister enters the East Palace as a companion, we will ask her to say good things about you in front of the Crown Princess and the Princess. If the Crown Princess is willing to help you as a matchmaker, are you afraid that you will not be able to do it?

Is it a good future? Grandma will definitely make the decision for you, don’t worry."

Qin Jinyi pursed her lips, glanced at her mother, Xiao Xue, hatefully, and reluctantly agreed.
