Chapter 149 Really Smart
"I like sesame cake. What do you like to eat, Xue Ning?"
"Well... I like cloud cake best, sesame crisp, and osmanthus sugar..."
"Yes, yes, I also like osmanthus candy." Huang Yuejiao took Lin Ziqin's hand excitedly, "I really don't know. It turns out that we have so many of the same preferences!"
Lin Ziqin nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm drooling when I say that!"
Herman couldn't help laughing when he heard the two of them talking about what they had eaten in the afternoon, "You are greedy cats and greedy cats. They smell the same!"
"Hee, even if we are similar, we still have the same fragrance!" Huang Yuejiao looked at Lin Ziqin with a smile, "Isn't it, Xue Ning?"
"Yes!" Lin Ziqin also laughed.
When Hyman saw that the two of them got along very well and chatted together, they were much more cheerful and more at ease than before.
"Come out, come out, all out!"
The three people were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard Qu Mengpo shouting loudly outside.
"What's wrong? It's not that I just finished training etiquette, and the time of reading has passed. What are you shouting about? Huang Yuejiao frowned reluctantly.
"Let's go out first!" Hyman put down the pen in his hand and carefully put away the drawn design drawings before going out with Lin Ziqin and Huang Yuejiao.
Qu Mengpo glanced at Lin Ziqin, and her eyes flashed, "Aren't you a beautiful girl from King Guangli Kangjing? Why did you come here?"
"We occasionally met outside and felt very close, so we invited her to come and play!" Hyman replied.
Bian Yuzhen curled his lips next to him, "I'm afraid that I can't choose a show girl, so I caught the beautiful girl in Guangli and tried her best to get along with her, right?"
"I'm afraid you want to find someone to abatize with. If you can't find it, just spit randomly?" Huang Yuejiao sneer at each other.
Qu Mengpo frowned impatiently, "Okay, stop bickering, stand up quickly." He looked at Lin Ziqin again and said, "You should also go back to your yard and prepare to welcome the condolence lady!"
"Well, Sister Xia, Sister Huang, then I'll go back first!" Lin Ziqin greeted Haiman and Huang Yuejiao and went out.
"Qu Mengpo, do you think the Empress of the harem is coming to comfort us?" Bian Yuzhen looked at Qu Mengpo's expression and asked, "Do you want to choose a show girl in advance?"
Qu Mengpo stared at her, "What are you inquire about? When the Empress comes, you will naturally know. All right, stop quarreling. Stand up and stand up. Don't forget to see the ceremony when the Empress comes later. Don't let the etiquette training do it for nothing. Got it?"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Everyone stood outside and waited for a quarter of an hour, but the Empress who still didn't see the harem couldn't calm down. "Qu Mengpo, when will that Empress come? When are we going to wait here?
"Yes, my legs are tired from standing. Let's go back to the room and rest for a while. It's not too late to come out to meet the Empress..."
"What's the noise?" Qu Mengpo shouted impatiently, "It's time to come naturally. They all wait here honestly." After saying that, she twisted her waist and got out of the yard, looked at the door for a long time, and came back with a happy face. "That lady has entered the courtyard of the beautiful girl of Guangli. She will be here soon. Stand up and cheer up!"
Everyone hurriedly put away their crying faces and stood together. After waiting for a long time, he heard the footsteps next door and looked out of the door, but saw a woman in a pink dress walking over.
"Why don't you come into our yard?" Bian Yuzhen couldn't help asking.
"Yes, why don't you come in after passing through the door?"
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say condolences to the show girl? Is there any difference between condolences?"
"Is there any order? For example, start with the most powerful vassal king, or the largest vassal king of the fief..."
Bian Yu really snorted disdainfully, "Why are you so shallow? What did you say? The emperor relied on the vassal king to guard the border, and how could he treat the beautiful girls they sent differently? Treating us differently is equivalent to treating the vassal king differently, which will cause dissatisfaction..."
"Oh, you are not shallow, so why did that lady skip our beautiful girl from Huaiyue and go to another yard?" Someone stared at Bian Yuzhen with dissatisfaction.
Bian Yuzhen curled her lips and said, "It makes sense for her to do things. Can we guess randomly?"
"Before I see her, I began to flatter!" Huang Yuejiao sneered.
"Well, that's better than flattering other girls..."
As it was noisy, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone announced loudly: "The Empress Li has arrived--"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and held their breath.
Hyman looked up and saw a 20-year-old woman surrounded by people. She was tall, beautiful eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and her appearance was not beautiful. Her makeup was slightly thicker and almost beautiful. On the contrary, she added a little enchanting, which was very eye-catching.
"See the Empress Li!" Qu Mengpo came forward to salute with a flattering smile on her face.
Wen Caiqing smiled and raised his hand, "Don't be polite, get up!"
"Thank you!" Qu Mengpo got up with a smile on her face and hurriedly said to the actresses, "Why don't you see the Empress Li?"
Everyone hurriedly got up and went down, "I've seen the Empress Li!"
"Get up!" After sweeping the grass, it fell on Haiman's body, turned her face twice, and moved away. "This palace came to visit you on the order of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
You must be a little unaccustomed to leaving your hometown and coming to Qingshan. The Empress Dowager and the Empress asked me to tell everyone that this will be your home in the future. If the emperor will make the decision for you, you don't have to worry about anything, just calm down!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Wen Caiqing smiled and waved to the maids behind her. The maids came forward with trays and sent an exquisite box to each lady.
"This is the dessert specially made by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's Kitchen. I will give you something to taste. Please accept it!"
The girls took the box with both hands and blessed themselves together, "Empress Xie, Empress Dowager Xie, Empress Xie Lifei!"
Wen Caiqing nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You should also know that tomorrow is the day to choose a beautiful girl. The Empress Dowager and the Empress asked me to tell you that you are all carefully selected by the vassal kings from all over the world, and each of them is very excellent. With you to enrich the harem and serve the emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager feel very gratified. Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything. Just have a good rest and you will get what you want tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Wen Caiqing smiled and said, "Well, all the words that should be conveyed by this palace have been conveyed. Do you have anything else that needs to be answered by this palace?"
"Mother, I have a question!" Before her words fell, Bian Yuzhen snapped her mouth, "I heard that the queen will choose the show girl tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, the Queen will choose you in person, and the palace will also assist the Queen!" When Wen Caiqing said this, his eyes turned to Hyman.
Haiman felt Wen Caiqing's eyes and was a little surprised. From the moment the Empress entered the door, she felt something was wrong. Do you always feel that the mother's eyes always look at herself intentionally or unintentionally? There was a faint intention of inquiry in her eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
was surprised, but she saw that she had stepped towards her, and her heart was stunned.
Wen Caiqing stood in front of Hyman, looked at her directly, reached out and touched her forehead, "Is this your birthmark?"
"Mother, this is not a birthmark, but a scar!"
"Oh?" Wen Caiqing whispered in surprise, "Why did you leave a scar?"
"There was a fire at home, left after the burn!"
Wen Caiqing bent the corners of his mouth with great interest, "Well, it's incredible that the burns will become such a beautiful petal shape!"
"Thank you for your praise!"
Wen Caiqing took her hand and looked at her carefully. "I don't know why, the more I look at you, the more friendly I feel. I always feel like I've seen you somewhere. It seems that we are very close!"
"It's an honor for women to make the Empress feel like they are in love!" Hyman said with a smile, but muttered in his heart, how did he feel that this mother was a little drunk and not drinking?
Wen Caiqing smiled and said, "Anyway, all the beautiful women have visited the palace, and they are not in a hurry to go back to the harem. Why don't you chat with me?"
"It's an honor for women to chat with their mother." Hyman felt more and more strange, but she smiled quietly on her face.
So, where is your room? Shall we go in and sit down?"
"Mother, Miss Xia's room is that one!" Before Haiman could answer, Bian Yuzhen rushed to say.
Wen Caiqing nodded and took Hyman's hand, "Okay, let's go in and sit down!"
"I'm going to prepare tea for you!" Seeing that Haiman was favored by literary youth, Qu Mengpo's joy was beyond words, and she hurried to prepare to order someone to make tea.
When the women saw Wen Caiqing holding Hyman's hand and entering the door, they all showed envy. The Empress just said that she would help the Empress choose a show girl tomorrow. She was so kind to Miss Xia as soon as she came. It seems that Miss Xia is going to be soaring. I have to find an opportunity to stab her later.
There are people who want to be flaunted, and naturally there are also those who are jealous and resentful, such as Bian Yuzhen, whose eyes are about to spit out fire, "Humph, what's good about that stinky woman?"
"Anyway, it's better than you!" Huang Yuejiao listened and came back.
The two entered the door, Wen Caiqing let go of Hyman's hand, went straight to the table and sat down, looking at the room.
Haiman's eyes flashed, "The Empress called the people into the room alone. Do you have anything to say?"
Wen Caiqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "You are really smart..."
