The girls had to line up to enter the palace gate in order. Under the guidance of the palace servants, the girls arrived at Chuxiu Palace, and entered the side hall in groups of five. Wei Miaoniang was one of the third group. When they entered the hall, there were three nannies waiting for them.

Five people stood in a row, and the nanny in the middle said, "Take off your clothes."

The other four were a little disgusted. Wei Miaoniang untied her clothes without hesitation. She was willing to do anything as long as she had the chance to go to the prince.

Wei Miao Niang took off her coat so obediently. The three nannies nodded invisibly, "You go to the small room inside to lie down first."

Wei Miaoniang was the third one to enter the small room. After checking her health, Wei Miaoniang took out her purse and handed it over, "I'm here to go."

The nanny did not refuse, took the purse and smiled, "Miss, is a blessing."

"Thank you, Madam, a wise man." Wei Miaoniang bowed her knees again, returned to the outside room, and changed the fourth lady to go in.

The fourth lady failed. In this group, only four people went to the back hall and waited for the next level. One hour later, all the female performers' physical examinations were completed, with only 156 female performers left, and forty-four were eliminated.

The second level is to test your academic knowledge, and of course you won’t take too profound exams. Wei Miaoniang drew poems. The eunuch asked her to read a poem, “The rain suddenly clears in April, and the southern mountains are clear. There are no willow catkins rising because of the wind, but sunflowers are swelling to the sun.”

"Learn." The eunuch said loudly.

Wei Miaoniang successfully passed the two primary elections, left the palace and went home, and waited for the re-election after half a month.

In the evening of that day, Mrs. Yan San was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a son, weighing six pounds and one ounce. The third family had a legitimate son and the whole family was happy. Oh, no, Yan Tongxiu's aunt was almost angry and cursed in secret, "There are many children who died prematurely, and it is obvious that they are poor in life and will definitely not be able to raise them."

On the day of Xisan, Master Yan San announced his son's name, "Yan Tongcheng."

At the end of April, the 27-month filial period of the third house was over. Because Mrs. Yan was still in confinement, Yan Ying's hairpin ceremony could not be handled. This made Zhao Yanqing very anxious because the wife of Baoqing once again urged him, "When will you be willing to get married?" In the past, he was afraid that Zhou would make things difficult for his new wife, but now that Zhou has been driven to the Zhuangzi, there is no need to be afraid.

"Auntie, wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Zhao Yanqing delayed the time.

"Wait, what are you waiting for? Do you have a little girl you like?" Mrs. Baoqing Hou guessed.

"Yes, I have a girl I like." Zhao Yanqing admitted frankly.

Mrs. Baoqing Hou showed joy, "Whose girl is it?"

Zhao Yanqing thought that he needed his aunt to come forward in the future, so he decided to tell the truth, "Of the Yan family."

"How many ladies are from the Yan family?" asked Mrs. Baoqing Hou.

"Miss Ninth in the Third Room." Zhao Yanqing smiled.

Mrs. Baoqing Hou thought about it, "I remember Miss Ninth in the third room was born in a nanny."

"He is a concubine." Zhao Yanqing looked a little nervous.

The husband of Baoqing picked up the teacup and drank tea. Zhao Yanqing said with a sad expression: "Auntie, now I am a lord. Those who looked down on me before showed a flattering and flattering expression in front of me, and they all wanted to get in touch with me, but those people only had titles and no one like me. I just wanted to marry a wife who is good to me, not a lord's wife."

"You mean, my aunt understands, but Miss Yan Jiu is a illegitimate child, and this kind of upbringing... I'm afraid she can't help you, and she will pull you back. My aunt doesn't want you to live such a difficult life for the rest of your life." Mrs. Baoqing Hou frowned.

"Auntie, the young lady from the Yan family is the same as the young lady from the legitimate family. Miss Yan Jiu is a very transparent and elegant girl. She can definitely help me take care of the backyard." Zhao Yanqing said quickly.

Mrs. Baoqing Hou laughed, "It seems you have inquired."

"Yes, please ask my aunt for helping me ask." Zhao Yanqing said shyly.

"I'll go to the Yan family tomorrow to find out the tone of Mrs. Yan." Mrs. Baoqing Hou smiled. If Miss Yan Jiu is really a good person, it's okay to have a concubine. Heroes don't care about their origins, as long as they are good to their nephews.

"Thank you aunt." Zhao Yanqing said happily.

In the afternoon, the wife of the Marquis of Baoqing sent her servants to Yan's house to send a greeting. Mrs. Yan replied, welcome her to come tomorrow.

The next day, the wife of the Marquis of Baoqing came to Yan's mansion and happened to meet Yan Huo out, "Where are Xiaoxiao going?"

"Hello, madam, I'm going to go to the Shuishi Temple." Yan Huo said with a tribute.

"Blessed by Buddha, everyone will be safe and sound." Mrs. Baoqing clasped her hands together and said.

"Madam Cheng's auspicious words." Yan Huo smiled.

After a few simple conversations, the wife of the Marquis of Baoqing entered the mansion and Yan Hu got on the carriage. When he arrived at the Xishi Temple, Yu Qingqing had already arrived, and Princess Heyi had not arrived yet.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Princess Heyi had not arrived yet. The two guessed that the Princess Qin trapped her, so they did not wait any longer. They knelt in front of the Buddha and recited the sutra, "At that time, the Bodhisattva of Endless Impression arose from the seat... The Yaksha and Rakshasa were full of annoying people, and those who heard that they were called the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva... They lived in the planting virtues and everyone loved and respected them. The endless Impression... Those who should be saved by lay people will appear in the body of lay people and preach... They are pushed by people, and they will recite the power of Guanyin, which is like the sun and the void. Or they are chased by evil people and fall into Vajra Mountain. If they recite the power of Guanyin, they will not lose a single hair... The wonderful sound of Guanyin, the sound of the Sanskrit Sea Tide, is better than that of the world, so they must always recite... Namo Putuo Lapis World Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The two of them recited it in total 108 times, and their mouths were dry. When burning the copied scriptures offered to the Buddha, Yu Qingqing asked, "They should have arrived in Deshi City at this time?"

"It has been a month since I left. If it goes well, it should have arrived." Yan Huo and Qiao Huaicheng inquired.

"Send the food to the city, and take a few days off and you will return to the capital, right?" Yu Qingqing asked again.

Yan Huo thought for a while and said, "It's true."

"Buddha blesses everything, and everything goes well." Yu Qingqing muttered and put the scriptures into the basin.

On the other side, after the Madam Baoqing Hou walked around and expressed his intention to get married, Mrs. Yan asked in surprise: "Madam, you didn't speak? Duke Zhao wanted to marry the Nine Girls of my family?"

"Old lady, my nephew is also a poor child. He has lost his biological mother at such a young age. After his father renewed his marriage, he really responded to the saying, "With his stepmother and stepfather, he has a stepfather, and he regards Yan Qing as a thorn in his eyes." Mrs. Baoqing played the card of sadness first, and saw that Mrs. Yan was touched by some of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and changed the subject, "Now that the hardships are over, he wants to find a gentle and honest good girl, and he doesn't want those snobbish eyes. Miss Nine was the one he met at first sight, and asked the old lady to fulfill the poor child."

"You allow us to think about this marriage." Mrs. Yan did not flatly refuse.

"Then I'll come back in a few days." Mrs. Baoqing Hou chatted for a while and said goodbye and left.

After seeing off the wife of Baoqing Hou, the Yan family discussed whether the marriage could be settled.
