The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 422 Reaction
"A maid from the Palace of Noble Concubine Wen?"

Sheng Yuan's first reaction was, could it be someone sent by Sheng Han?
"Concubine Wen Taigui knows your sister-in-law's family?" An Yu spoke quickly, and made a guess in front of Sheng Yuan.

"Maybe we can't rule out this possibility!" Sheng Yuan rubbed his round chin and quietly reviewed himself.

Such a cute big girl, how can she think of people so complicatedly? !
Still have to imitate An Yu's effort to not use his brain easily.

"I met this maid when I went to the palace banquet with my father. Tai'an Palace lent her to help."

"A maid of Tai'an Palace?" Sheng Yuan was thoughtful.

Tai'an Palace is the palace where the concubines left by the former emperor are housed. There are a group of maids and servants in it that are not exclusive to a certain concubine or concubine.

If this is the case, An Yu's guess is wrong.

Could it be that it really has something to do with Sheng Han?

"Aunt Qian'er told me not to walk around in the palace if I have nothing to do, for fear that someone who cannot be selected will be attached to me." An Yu felt that this might be an allusion to Sheng Han.

"You can't be drafted? You can't! I heard from my father the other day that Shoufu finally persuaded the emperor, saying that this is the first draft since the emperor's ascension to the throne, and it should follow the old rules. As for the emperor's suggestion that non-scholars should not be drafted, It can be postponed to the next session. From this point of view, that cousin of Sister Yuan is eligible to participate in the draft. Besides, if she can't participate in the draft, why didn't the emperor call her out of the palace?"

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Sheng Yuan, and added, "Sister Yuan, did your cousin leave the palace?"

"Probably not?" Sheng Yuan thought for a while, then shook his head.

Although she hasn't heard anything out of the window recently, if there is something new in Sheng Guogong's mansion, her father will definitely come back. Since her father never mentioned it, it means he didn't.

"Let me tell you, I heard my aunt talking to my cousin, saying that if His Majesty can't choose a suitable daughter-in-law this time, he will arrange side concubines for the princes first, and wait until a suitable one is found."

An Yu remembered the news she forgot to tell her friends, and hurriedly told them.

Lu Sheng clapped his hands: "It seems that I remember correctly. Your Majesty probably does not require fame in this draft! In this way, the next show girl will be better."

"You can't say that, there are our sisters Yuan and Anthra this year!" An Yu raised her hand in disapproval, and made a big cross in front of her.

He thinks that no girl can be better than Sheng Yuan, even if someone beats Sheng Yuan in a single event, it's still invincible.

His idea that has nothing to do with justice, he didn't tell his friends, but he mentioned it when he was chatting with his aunt. For this, his cousin, Princess Yuanning, specially made a mallet, and brought a few A princess chased him and beat him, causing him to hide from the emperor's uncle for a long time.

Of course, you don’t lose if you lose, even though he hosted a feast of apology to invite his cousin and the others under the arrangement of his aunt and uncle the emperor, but his apology was an apology, but the best idea about Sister Yuan never changed in the end. No way, he is so strong!

Sheng Yuan didn't know that An Yu used to be so two hundred and five. Now she was pinching the flesh on her chin, like a wise man stroking his beard, squinting her beautiful big eyes to think about why this court lady found Shu Yajing.

And Lu Sheng still distinguished: "I'm talking about universal talent! Do you understand? In this draft, Sister Yuan is just going through the motions. She is so lazy, how can she bother to compare her talents with others? Sister An is very Possibly one of the best in the draft."

"Lazy?!" Sheng Yuan's ears moved, and his attention jumped out of his thoughts.

"I mean you are lazy by nature and don't like to use your brain and show your talents for frivolous things!"

Facing the combined gazes of the two friends, Lu Sheng hastily separated.

"Oh..." Sheng Yuan didn't intend to argue with him.

She had already agreed with the Queen Mother that if her elder sister didn't need her to accompany her, she would follow the crowd in the Juxian Hall during the day and live in the Compassionate Ning Palace at night.

"Sister Yuan, what do you say we should detain the maid and ask her the purpose of leaving the palace?" An Yu noticed that the maid and the girl from the Shu family were about to leave after talking, so she quickly shook Sheng Yuan's arm.

"You think you're an inner guard?" Lu Sheng thought he heard it wrong, maybe his ears had his own thoughts, otherwise how could he hear such crazy suggestions!

"Brother Yu, do you know? You will be punished severely for confiscating a palace official! You don't want to be Marquis of Ancheng anymore!"

Facing his friend's shocked face, An Yu felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill: "Let's just chat with her, neither beating nor scolding, friendly talk is not allowed?"

"..." Lu Sheng looked at his friend's face trying to be honest, and felt that what he said was different from what he wanted to do.

"Sister Yuan? Don't think about it! If you think about it again, she will go far away! How about it? Give me a hand?" An Yu rubbed her hands excitedly.

Sheng Yuan looked at the child in front of him who was driven crazy by the exam, patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and sighed, "Brother Yu, we are adults now, when we do things, we need to improve efficiency and reduce useless work."

"???" An Yu didn't understand.

He pointed out in a daze: "Yuan, Sister Yuan, that maid is going to go far away!"

"She's not the point! The point is to make her tell the truth." Sheng Yuan's eyes seemed to have a gleam of wisdom, "Who can make her tell the truth?"

"..." An Yu scratched her head, and after her linear thinking became a maze, she gradually became orderly. Looking at Sheng Yuan's encouraging eyes, she swallowed tentatively and said, "I, I... go back to the palace and talk to the emperor's uncle. .”

He is not an inner guard, he can seek help from the emperor who can mobilize inner guards!
"Smart!" Sheng Yuan immediately raised his big finger to give a thumbs up when he heard the words.

Although the candidate she thought of was Concubine Wen, as the head of Tai'an Palace, she is most qualified to take care of this matter.

……

"Miss Shu Er, our wife is here to invite you."

When Fanxu appeared in Shu Yajing's small courtyard, Shu Shi was telling her about sending her to the Duke Sheng's mansion and learning etiquette from the maids in the mansion with the girls in the mansion.

"Fan Xu?" Mrs. Shu was a little surprised when she heard the voice, "Why is Madam looking for Sister Jing?"

Fan Xu replied with a smile: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the draft."

Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Look at this time, it's almost time for dinner, why don't I follow, it happens that my wife's food is delicious!"

Fanxu didn't object either, and just said: "Madam specially asked the cook to make some refreshments for Shancheng, and said it was for Ms. Shu to enjoy."

"That's even better!" Shu clapped his hands with a smile, stood up, stroked his temples with a handkerchief, turned around and took his younger sister Shu Yajing's hand, and walked out swayingly.

……

"My daughter-in-law greeted my wife."

"Brother Xin's daughter-in-law is here too? Hurry up, come and sit with your sisters."

Mrs. Zheng, who was pruning flower branches, was not surprised when she saw Mrs. Shu following. She nodded with a smile, and walked to the refreshment table next to her.
