On the last day of October, please give me a monthly ticket

*******

Both Yang Pianpian and Yang Shanshan sisters are going to enter the palace for an alternative, not to mention other families, and there are still many officials in the capital and outside the office.∮, Ji Xiaotang can already imagine the grand scene of selecting female officials in the palace this time.

Actually, now is not the best time to do this.

The world has been famine for years, and the most important thing the court should do is to provide disaster relief and life-saving and recuperate. Although this time, only the daughters of the official family are required to choose from the public and not choose from the public, it will still be exhausting the people and hurting the money.

However, there is another saying among the courts and the people, saying that because Emperor Longqing has no descendants, the world will be filled with these famines and will be unstable.

Ji Xiaotang thought that the so-called emperor had no children, so God was anxious and brought disasters to the sky. Ji Xiaotang thought it was ridiculous. However, because the emperor had no children and the country was unstable, Ji Xiaotang had to nod and agree with it.

I am afraid that Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing in the palace will not really believe the former statement, but they will agree with the latter statement very much.

Emperor Longqing had no descendants, and he was so turbulent today, so I was afraid that his dragon throne would not be able to sit steadily.

This is the real reason why the palace is rushing to select female officials at this time. Emperor Longqing needs children and needs more help. If a daughter enters the palace and gets favored by the emperor, she will naturally be more loyal to the emperor and at the same time gain greater wealth.

As for whether the girls themselves are willing to enter the palace, they are not considered.

For example, Yang Pianpian not only had to go to the palace against her wishes to choose, but also had to work hard to get herself selected.

However, Ji Xiaotang had no doubts about Yang Pianpian's selection. It can be said that as long as Yang Pianpian did not act too ostentatious, Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing would not give up on her.

They chose not Yang Pianpian, but Yang family and Yang Ge Lao.

Because of understanding these, Ji Xiaotang really cannot comfort Yang Pianpian with empty words against his will.

"Xiaotang, your marriage. Have you made any decisions at home?" Yang Pianpian said for a while, and then asked Ji Xiaotang. She really cared about Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head.

"My parents have already made my parents very embarrassed. With this today..., it is really unexpected." Ji Xiaotang's intention was to go home and discuss with Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er.

"But Xiaotang, you are really smart and courageous." Yang Pianpian looked at Ji Xiaotang, and his eyes were full of admiration. Yang Pianpian admired Ji Xiaotang's performance in front of Zheng Gui today. "Xiaotang, I used to be very high-profile, but when you are here, it is different from other girls I know. I compare myself to you... Compared to you, I am the flowers and plants raised in a greenhouse."

"Pianpian, don't say that." Ji Xiaotang smiled bitterly. Could she be willing to experience those dangers? She is willing to live in a greenhouse all the time.

"I'm telling the truth." Yang Pianpian insisted, "Xiaotang, although our two families are not married, this does not hinder you and me at all. We are still like before. Xiaotang, I actually have no friends. I treat you as my best friend."

Speaking of this, Yang Pianpian paused before continuing.

"Grandfather also means that. If our two families have not gotten married, they are all destined to do it. Don't say that we are in-laws and are closer than others. Grandfather admires Lord Ji very much and admires you very much. "≤, Grandfather also said that you will invite you to come to the house to talk. Grandfather got good tea again, and he couldn't bear to take it out for his father to drink with us. He said he was just waiting for Xiaotang, you little friend."

Yang Pianpian looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile.

She was obviously very happy because of Mr. Yang's attitude that she would not only not lose Ji Xiaotang, but also the two families could get closer in the future.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved.

It turned out that Yang Pianpian talked to her. It was not entirely her own wish, but also Yang Ge Lao's mission.

However, there is nothing to be surprised about. Yang Pianpian and her, and all the girls in Deyuelou today are the same in this regard. They are not only themselves, but also represent the father, brother and family behind them.

For example, marriage or friendship. They can’t help but become accustomed to it.

"...I admire the old master in my heart. I was still worried. My father had already told my uncle and discussed choosing which day he would go to the mansion to apologize for his crimes in person... Now, after hearing what you said, I can finally feel relieved." Ji Xiaotang said to Yang Pianpian with a smile.

These words naturally made Yang Pianpian happier.

"Xiaotang, you don't have to take it seriously. Lord Ji doesn't have to apologize to his grandfather. Grandfather is kind, so how could he blame Lord Ji for such a thing?"

"You sisters are going to enter the palace for a choice, and the eldest and fourth sisters are going to go too. Do the girls who come today all want to enter the palace for a choice?" Ji Xiaotang asked Yang Pianpian again.

Yang Pianpian looked back. They were talking in the corridor for a long time, and some girls had noticed them and looked at them from afar.

"I don't know anyone else. Wu Jiayan must be a replacement for entering the palace. Although I haven't heard the exact news from other people, I think it's almost the same."

"Where is Zheng Zi?" In fact, among these girls, Ji Xiaotang is most concerned about, or the only thing he cares about, is whether Zheng Zi enters the palace.

After hearing Ji Xiaotang's question, Yang Pianpian turned around and looked at the girls, then turned around and pressed his voice down a little.

"I don't know her business even more. Even my grandfather couldn't guess it... I heard my grandfather occasionally say that Prince An's Princess Qi passed away. At that time, Zheng Zi was discussing marriage, but there was no news afterwards. Zheng Shangshu wanted to marry Zheng Zi into Prince An's mansion..."

Of course, Zheng Zi was not familiar with Zheng Shangshu. Her impression of Zheng Shangshu all came from the private discussions of her grandfather Yang Gelao and her father Yang Shao.

Zheng Shangshu was just talented, but he was good at dancing and was able to give birth to several daughters who were not only beautiful but also very scheming, which paved the way for Zheng Shangshu to be beautiful.

The first two golden flowers of the Zheng family, one entered the palace to become the imperial concubine, and the other married King Su to become the official concubine. If Zheng Zi became Princess An again, then the three most noble sons-in-laws in the Great Qin Dynasty would all belong to the Zheng family.

Zheng Shangshu was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. The golden abacus in his hand was crackling.

"But now..." Yang Pianpian looked at Ji Xiaotang. Now King An Qinzhen went to Xinhua Hall, and a song of phoenixes and phoenixes have spread throughout the capital. Will the Zheng family give up King An?

"So there is such a thing." Ji Xiaotang murmured. This was the first time she heard the Zheng family's plan. No wonder Zheng Zi was so enthusiastic about helping him. The reason why Zheng Gui came to Yuelou so coincidental was that Zheng Zi was also responsible for meeting her.

If you think about it for a while, it is easy to understand. ()

There was Concubine Zheng in the palace. And he was loved by Emperor Longqing, so the Zheng family did not want to send another daughter to the palace to compete for favor. King Su and Princess Zheng Gui had a deep relationship, but only King An Qin Zhen had an empty position, which was Zheng Zi's best choice.

If Zheng Gui can successfully get her to accept the string of Dongzhu today, it will not only add the help of the Ji family to the Su Palace, but also eliminate obstacles for Zheng Zi to take over the An Palace. This is the so-called killing two birds with one stone.

Zheng Gui showed kindness to her so much today, even threatening her. He also asked her to express her opinion on the spot. Of course, Ji Xiaotang would not think that she was so beautiful that she was so charming that she was both Qin Lin, Prince Su and Princess Zheng Gui were both attracted to her and would not hesitate to marry her into Prince Su’s mansion.

A person like King Su would not do this at such a critical moment because he fought against King An.

The only explanation is that King Su took a fancy to the power she represented, that is, the power of the Ji family.

However, the power shown by the Ji family on the surface is not ordinary and should not have attracted the competition from King Su.

King Su knew the true strength of the Ji family.

But how did he know?

Before Ji Xiaotang could come up with a clue, the scene there had already started again. Princess Changning called Ji Xiaotang and Yang Pianpian, and the two had to walk back into the table.

When Changning saw Ji Xiaotang coming back, he asked her to sit down beside him.

"You and Pianpian have been there for so long, why did you say private words?" Princess Changning asked inadvertently. However, her eyes revealed her true thoughts.

"There is nothing private, it's just..." Ji Xiaotang paused for a moment, then smiled, "Pianpian said that he is still good friends with me, and the Yang family and the Ji family will not be alienated."

Princess Changning smiled. Of course she knew what Ji Xiaotang didn't mention.

She was curious about this matter. But just now Zheng Gui was there and kept talking to Ji Xiaotang. Now, Ji Xiaotang mentioned it herself, and she was able to ask questions openly.

"Yang Xuan asked that child, I had seen it twice, and I had no impression of it anymore. It looked like it was not as tall as me, and it was like a little bean sprout. The Yang family was also embarrassed to ask you to marry him!" Princess Changning said in a low voice, with a smile in her tone. Obviously, she regarded this as a fun thing.

Ji Xiaotang coughed twice and looked in the direction of Yang Pianpian.

Yang Pianpian was talking to Wu Jiayan. He was not close to this place and could not hear Princess Changning's words. Yes, although Changning was willful, he would definitely pay attention and would not let Yang Pianpian hear her sarcastic words to Yang Xuanrang.

"...The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Pianpian's younger brother is a little younger, after all, he is Pianpian's younger brother." Ji Xiaotang also lowered his voice and spoke.

Princess Changning looked at Ji Xiaotang for a while before laughing.

"You and Pianpian are all right."

"Pianpian has a good personality."

Princess Changning seemed to hear something interesting and giggled constantly, which attracted the girls on the table to see them.

After a while, Changning stopped smiling.

"This is the first time I heard that Pianpian has a good personality. You, Xiaotang, you are indeed a lovely person."

The three words "Ke Ren'er" have learned enough Zheng Gui's tone.

Ji Xiaotang sighed, picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea slowly, and his eyes moved to the stage, not paying attention to Changning.

The more interesting it was, Changning felt that it was not going to watch the show at all, and he just wanted to talk to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, the Yang family won't talk about him anymore. I know, my fourth brother has been to your house, and Princess Su just now, which one do you like, Xiaotang?"

Ji Xiaotang naturally would not answer such a question.

Changning said to himself: "I can't guess it. However, as long as my emperor brother likes you, the fourth brother and the third prince will have to stay behind."

Changning might have been a casual sentence, but Ji Xiaotang's heart beats so fast.

She didn't want to choose King Su or King An, but she didn't want to choose the palace.

When Changning saw Ji Xiaotang's thoughtful look, he knew that she was worried. Changning just felt that the Yang family, King An and King Su wanted to marry Ji Xiaotang, and when he saw Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Gui's response, he found it very interesting. In fact, he was not really concerned about Ji Xiaotang's affairs.

"Xiaotang, do you know that Ayou brought memorial from Shu yesterday..."

Ji Xiaotang heard the words Ayou in his ears and immediately came to his senses, but his face refused to show a look of special concern.

"Mr. Qi gave the memorial. Are you planning to take action?" Ji Xiaotang asked, just to let Princess Changning continue.

And this is exactly what Changning needs at this moment.

"Yes." Changning nodded, "Maybe the shouts in the court are too loud, and there are also mother and emperor brothers, and they are... Ayou sent memorials this time, saying that he was planning to march quickly."

"What?" This time, Ji Xiaotang was really surprised.

Why did Qi Younian change his strategy? He no longer focused on recruiting and slowly aimed at it, but wanted to fight? Do you really can't stand the pressure from the court? In Ji Xiaotang's impression, Qi Younian was not such a person.

Speaking of combat, Qi Younian is more stable than anyone else.

"You are also surprised, right?" Changning did not think much about Ji Xiaotang's surprise. Instead, he felt that Ji Xiaotang was her soulmate at this point. "It's all because of those old people in the court, as well as the queen and the emperor..."

Even Changning could not tell the complaints of Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing in front of Ji Xiaotang.
To be continued...
