"Is the daughter of the Ling family not suitable?" The empress dowager held a stack of famous posts in her hand, and was incredible to the emperor's words. "Why is the daughter of the Marquis Zi's Mansion not suitable? Ling Yun is thirteen years old this year, and is about the same age as Ling'er, and is a relative again, so why is it not suitable?"

The emperor comforted and smiled, comforted, "This girl is a little younger, and she goes to see the nanny and says that she is a little thin and doesn't look like she is a good child. Ling'er's official concubine, so of course she should choose a lucky concubine. After marrying the official concubine, she will immediately accept the concubine. Will the mother ask Ling'er's eldest son to be born by the concubine? The eldest son is not a legitimate son, and it is not a good deed."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was speechless. She looked at the famous posts in her hand one by one, and sighed for a while: "First I asked the Ai family to choose, but the Ai family was optimistic about you but didn't like it..."

"When Ling'er's marriage is done, my son can only discuss it with his mother." The emperor also knew that sadness was the empress dowager, and said slowly, "There are still many good daughters, and we always have to choose a good one for Ling'er."

The Empress Dowager had long fallen in love with Ling Yun. No other daughter could still catch her eyes. After turning around, she couldn't make up her mind. The waiter stood beside her and smiled, saying, "I'm sorry for talking too much. Since the Empress Dowager likes Miss Ling, why not summon this girl to the palace to see her face? Not only is it thin, but the nannies said that none of us have ever seen her before. Wouldn't the Empress Dowager behave in person?"

Although the Empress Dowager hated Concubine Li, this sentence still came to her heart. She nodded and said, "Concubine Li said yes, it must be the Ai family who can see it myself. Emperor..." The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor, and the emperor felt depressed. Why should Concubine Li say too much? It will cause trouble again!

Li Fei saw that the emperor had a bad face and pretended not to know. Then she smiled and said, "But if she summoned this girl alone... I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. It would be fine if the empress dowager really liked it. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't let others talk about gossip, which would be of no use to Miss Ling in the future. The next day is the Gifted Day. In previous years, the Empress Dowager would also reward various palaces with thousands of gold, gold scissors, gold silk, silver thread, brocade and other items. Why wouldn't the Empress Dowager summon all the gold medals in this post into the palace? She just said that she was giving them the Gifted Day things and then kept the girls in the palace to talk. How many of the Empress Dowagers wouldn't be able to see them? She just knew all the girls' behaviors."

The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly and smiled, "That's right, the emperor, that's it."

The emperor could not do it. Concubine Li said it was reasonable and there was no place to refute it. She had to smile and nodded: "Since the queen mother likes it, then do as her mother mother wants."

The emperor had government affairs in the previous dynasty, so he was not convenient to sit for a long time. After talking for a while, he got up. Concubine Li hurriedly delivered it and chuckled: "My parents' home sent a few good ginsengs in yesterday. I thought about stewing chicken soup for a while and sending it to Chengqian Palace in the evening. Can the emperor drink it before writing a memorial?"

The emperor was still depressed because of the incident just now. Seeing that Concubine Li had a blind eye, she said lightly: "No need, I have no appetite."

Concubine Li's face froze and she could only smile and said, "Yes, I understand."

Seeing the Shengcai leave, Concubine Li sighed relieved, hoping that Chu Shaoruan's plan would be useful and she would not let her be in vain.

The Queen Mother of Qiqiao did summon all the girls into the palace that day. More than a dozen young girls gathered in the Ci'an Hall. The concubines were not invited to kiss the girls and the concubines. Now Chu Shaoling is in the limelight, and most of the concubines want to take the boat Chu Shaoling.

The Empress Dowager called Ling Yun to her side first to take a closer look. Ling Yun was very beautiful in color. She wore a light green flower-spreaded wide-sleeved dress, a Luo Cuishi skirt underneath, a pair of water-colored bracelets on her wrist, and a red gold-inlaid jade collar on her neck. There was no too much decoration on her head, but only a few pearls fell on her temples. This outfit was very unsightly, and she did not deliberately wear gold and silver, but every piece was treasured, which made her look very outstanding.

Seeing the little girl, the empress dowager couldn't stop smiling and said, "Carry it out with your mother, look, it's so beautiful..." The empress dowager sighed in her heart. Ling Yun didn't say anything. This is indeed a little thin, weak and lacking in energy, and it doesn't seem like she is blessed.

Ling Yun was not flattered when he heard the Queen Mother’s praise, and smiled and bowed his head: "The Queen Mother is so loving, but I can't afford to be the daughter." He was very steady and generous. The Queen Mother felt regretful, but it was a pity that his appearance was worthy of Chu Shaoling.

The Empress Dowager chose a concubine for Chu Shaoling without asking for a very beautiful appearance. As long as she had a good background, had a good appearance, had a good character and a better body, she had a better body. With the example of Empress Ling, the Empress Dowager said that she would choose a stronger body for Chu Shaoling.

The Empress Dowager gave her a seat and kept Ling Yun sitting by her side, chuckling: "The palace is lonely. The Ai family is thinking about the Qiqiao Festival, so she asked you to come and have fun. In previous years, it was just Ai family to appreciate some things. You have set up incense tables at your house to worship the gods and kowtow to receive kindness. After all, it is boring."

The Empress Dowager ordered people to prepare things for the ladies and distributed them one by one. Everyone thanked them for the rewards. The Empress Dowager Xiaoxiao ordered people to give tea and fruits so that everyone would not have to be restrained. The Empress Dowager looked at everyone and secretly commented. Ling Yun could not think about it anymore. This body was really not good and could not hold on to the wasted time in the palace. Princess Qizhen's youngest daughter looked healthy, but she was not good at appearance and was humiliated by Chu Shaoling. The eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites looked okay, but her behavior was not dignified enough. How could she be the official concubine...

The Empress Dowager was not very satisfied. She turned around and saw Zhen Si, the daughter of the Zhen family, who sat down at Concubine Li. The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. Zhen Si did not look like Concubine Li, but she was also a beauty. Her skin was as creamy as black hair, and her eyebrows were not as calculating as Concubine Li. She lowered her head and sat quietly. She looked good and her face was rosy. She thought she was also very good. She showed her slender hands when she received the tea and her behavior was dignified when she was tasting the tea. From this point of view, Zhen Si had all the corners, but... The Empress Dowager sighed in her heart. It was a pity that it was useless to have a Zhen family.

Concubine Li was secretly happy when she looked at the girls in the room. No matter what, as far as the characters are concerned, anyone who evaluates them must say that Zhen Si is good. Concubine Li looked at Zhen Si's clothes carefully, and everything was done by Concubine Li himself, which would definitely match the eyes of the queen mother.

It was time to read it. The empress dowager was not very satisfied, so she smiled and rewarded her one by one and sent her back. The only concubine Li and the empress dowager asked for her to stay in Zhen Si Palace for a few days. The empress dowager was depressed and had no time to pay attention to her. She nodded and agreed. Li Fei hurriedly pulled Zhen Si to thank her.

Concubine Li took Zhen Si to Linzhi Palace, pulled her to speak for a while, and then told her carefully what the Empress Dowager liked and didn’t like on weekdays. Then she chuckled softly: “Good kid, you are the best of these girls, don’t worry, as long as you do as your aunt says, the Empress Dowager will definitely like you.”

Zhen Si lowered her head, still silent. She listened to what Concubine Li said, and did not say a word. Concubine Li just thought it was her ashamed and chuckled: "The eldest prince went out of the city to live in the palace, so I can't come back first." It was just so convenient for her to do it herself. Concubine Li secretly had a scheming in her heart and decided to rush Chu Shaoling to settle his marriage before coming back.

The Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace quietly looked at the girls' famous posts, and was unsure of his mind. Each one was good, but each had something unsatisfactory. After lunch, the emperor came. When he knew that the Empress Dowager was not satisfied with Ling Yun's body was weak, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My son is also worried about this. Fortunately, there are so many girls, so the mother will choose again."

The Queen Mother sighed: "No one is good..."

The emperor flipped through the name and said, "Is Princess Qizhen's daughter not good? The princess and the legitimate daughter of Yongding Hou are worthy of Ling'er."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "The emperor didn't see it, so she looks bad." Princess Qizhen was not the one who gave birth to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager didn't like this daughter much. Besides, the Marquis of Yongding has no real power and cannot help Chu Shaoling, so of course it's hard to tell the emperor about these things.

As long as the empress dowager doesn't like Lingyun, it's not very good for the emperor. The emperor suddenly remembered that Concubine Li was joking with him in private yesterday. If the ruling was not made, it would be better to hand over the girl's birth date to the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Whoever has the best horoscope and Chu Shaoling will decide who is going to be together. This is a good way. The emperor smiled and told the empress dowager. The empress dowager was not making a decision. After thinking about it, nodded: "Let the Imperial Heavenly Prison people see it. That's right, you have to find a horoscope for Ling'er."

The Linzhi Palace received the letter in just half an hour. Concubine Li finally felt relieved when she found out. Chu Shaoruan and Linzhi Palace were relieved when she heard this and smiled: "Don't worry, Mother, my son from the Imperial Heaven Supervision has already been prepared and nothing will happen."

Concubine Li nodded, as if she had seen Chu Shaoling look angry after learning the news. She couldn't help laughing and mocked: "It's a bargain to give Si Mei to him. I want to see if the eldest prince marrys our daughter, will Zijun Hou Mansion still help him like this now? Haha..."

Compared to the lively palace, Qianshou Palace was quiet and peaceful. On the Qixi Festival, Chu Shaoling ordered people to clean up the palace Zhaixing Tower. A set of pear blossom yellow furniture, screens, soft couches, and eight immortals tables were arranged on the seventh high platform. They were all exquisite. On the table, they even arranged a guard halberd with various desserts and fruits.

When Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji came over for dinner, the palace servant had already packed up and left. Wei Ji saw that the arrangement here was so particular, and knew that it must be Chu Shaoling had given instructions. He felt warm and walked to the table to peel pine nuts for Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoling came over to eat with him for a while and smiled: "It's not that you want to eat, come..."

Chu Shaoling pulled the guard halberd and lay on the imperial concubine's couch, chuckling: "Look at the sky."

It was the third hour of Xu, and the night color shone through the sky. The sky was very beautiful and the stars were prosperous. The Milky Way ran across the ink blue night sky from south to north, woven into a bright silver light. The guards hadn't seen the night sky like this for a long time. The ink pupils shone brightly against the starlight and smiled: "It looks good, that is Aaron Star, and the two children next to it are in the shoulder pole."

Chu Shaoling nodded and chuckled: "Over there... it's that, it's Vega."

Wei Ji nodded, and the two of them lay on the high platform like this, as if they were surrounded by stars. I don’t know if they were bewitched by this magnificent scenery or were fascinated by the people in front of me. It was rare that Wei Ji turned his head and took the initiative to kiss Chu Shaoling on the side and whispered: "Thank you, Your Highness." No one took the little Wei Ji seriously, only Chu Shaoling, who felt as painful as a treasure.
