The metaphysics princess fortune-telling spirit, the abstinent and cruel king is addicted to pets

202 Chapter 202: Another way

As soon as the position of the crown prince and concubine was vacant, all the officials in the court naturally made small calculations.

The Shang Palace Bureau sent people to investigate the ladies from various families, and finally gathered the list, and some painters drew paintings, and presented them to Queen Xie for her to choose slowly.

Empress Xie didn't have any ideas, so she called Ye Chengyan to pick out some good-looking girls, and then prepared a flower viewing banquet, and invited the girls who were chosen to enter the palace.

Even Nanli received a post from the palace.

The post was sent by Xie Beihan himself. Nanli used to be the sixth lady of the Anyang Marquis Mansion. For the sake of the Marquis Mansion and the family, she had to go and save the Queen's face.

But now she is the Ninth Princess, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, so she can directly refuse some banquets that she doesn't want to go to.

"I don't want to go." Nan Li said.

"Don't, my aunt just wants you to go over and see the faces of the noble girls." Xie Beihan blinked and begged.

It's no wonder that Empress Xie puts so much emphasis on it. I asked Nan Li to look at Rong Dongling's face earlier, who knew that something was wrong. That's why Empress Xie let Nan Li enter the palace again to see the noble ladies. Then check their horoscopes.

Although it is like picking goods, the winner is the future mother of the country, so naturally everything should be cautious and not sloppy.

Nan Li was setting up the magic circle to nourish Xu's soul, but she didn't look up at Xie Beihan.

She said: "If you ask me to see a person's face, the combination of a person's horoscope will cost a hundred taels of silver. Now you want me to see the faces of so many noble girls. How is this business?"

Xie Beihan knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it, so he hurriedly said, "It's easy to say, one hundred taels, how about it?"

Nan Li thought for a while, and it wasn't too much of a disadvantage, so she agreed.

Xie Beihan happily left Prince Yu's mansion, and the news spread.

Who among the selected girls would not want to win the first prize and become the crown princess, but the key point of the selection lies in Nan Li.

The next day, there was a servant in Wuyang Hou's mansion who had been waiting for a long time at the aura of Fu, saying that there was an evil spirit in his house, and he wanted to invite the Ninth Princess to come and get rid of the evil spirit.

Seeing the anxious look of the boy, Zhimi led him into the inner hall.

Nan Li glanced at him, her face was a bit cold: "There are no evil spirits in your house, so your master doesn't have to scare himself."

The little servant hurriedly said: "The Ninth Concubine is indeed highly skilled in Taoism, and I admire it. This is my lord's filial piety to the Ninth Concubine. Please don't dislike the Ninth Concubine."

He moved a small box and placed it on the table, it can be seen that it took a little effort.

When it was opened, it turned out to be a golden ingot inside.

Zhimi's eyes widened: "Didn't my senior sister say that there are no evil spirits in your house? What gold is there for you?"

Nan Li frowned, and said, "What's the meaning of this?"

The servant said: "The young one belongs to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion. The eldest lady of the mansion will enter the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet in a few days. The Marquis just wants to ask the Ninth Concubine to help me with a few words of kindness."

He lowered his voice, obsequiously.

I heard that the Ninth Concubine would charge money for the ghost-hunting talisman. She must be a money fan. With so much gold, are you afraid that she won't be able to buy her off?
Nan Li smiled angrily, she didn't expect that she would be bribed like this one day.

She glanced at the gold ingots in the box, and said helplessly: "I really like silver and gold, but they shouldn't be mine, I never want them."

"As long as the Ninth Concubine is willing to help this favor, this is what you deserve." The young servant hastily persuaded, "If the amount does not match, Lord Hou can double it again, until the Ninth Concubine is satisfied."

"You said just now that you are from the Marquis of Wuyang, right?" Nan Li raised her eyebrows.

The boy was secretly happy, and nodded hurriedly: "Exactly."

"Don't let your miss prepare. I will tell the empress so she doesn't have to invite your eldest miss to the palace banquet." Nan Li said.

The boy smiled stiffly and was stunned on the spot.

"Ninth Princess, what does this mean?"

"It means literally." Nan Li narrowed her sharp eyes, which made the servant tremble all over.

The boy didn't expect that he would be self-defeating this time, but there were two black armored guards outside the door, he didn't dare to make a mistake, closed the box, and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the person had left the inner hall, Nan Li stretched her waist, and murmured: "This job can make money like this, it's a good experience."

Zhimi said: "It seems that everyone is trying their best. Do you really want to tell the empress that the eldest lady of Wuyang Hou's mansion is not allowed to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet?"

He didn't think that the senior sister did something wrong, but he was afraid that the senior sister would make enemies and would be retaliated in the future.

Nan Li winked at him and smiled: "I don't talk too much, so as not to ruin the future of bad guys and ruin the chances of others."

Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

But if there is one, there are two, and then a few family members came here, either lying about the unsafe situation in their home, or handing over posts, all wanting to see Nan Li.

What's more, someone got through to Xiao Wanyi or the elder brothers, but they all knew Nan Li's character, so they immediately refused.

They didn't tell Nan Li about this, so as not to add to her troubles.

Even if others hold grudges, how dare they trouble the Anyang Marquis.

The people in the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion were panicked, and after waiting for a few days, there was no sound from the palace, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, Marquis Wuyang didn't plan to settle down.

In the past, Wuyang Hou's Mansion and Anyang Hou's Mansion were evenly matched.

But later, Chu Hanlin made great achievements in military training, the eldest son was also very capable, the second son was good at business, the third son was a top student in high school, and the remaining two sons were also capable of writing and martial arts.

Not to mention that the sixth young lady who just came back is proficient in Taoism, rescued people from danger several times, and led the whole family to make meritorious deeds and promotions, not to mention that she later married the Ninth Prince and became the royal daughter-in-law.

Today's Anyang Marquis Mansion has already surpassed the dust, leaving Wuyang Marquis Mansion behind.

Marquis Wuyang has always compared himself with Chu Hanlin, seeing such a situation, how could he bear it.

His son is not good enough, only one daughter is dignified and beautiful, now Rong Dongling has been demoted to side concubine, vacating the position of crown prince and concubine, how could he let go of this opportunity!
Nanli couldn't get through there, so he sent people to make unannounced visits, and finally invited a priest.

That Taoist master is called Tian Cheng, and he has no sects. He doesn't have much ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons in a serious way, but he is very good at changing people's appearances.

Marquis Wuyang saw his mischievous eyebrows, and he also had a trace of distrust: "The Taoist priest can really change my daughter's face? Make her emit purple energy?"

"Naturally." Tian Cheng stroked his beard, feeling very confident and comfortable.

"You should have heard of the Ninth Princess, right? This woman is proficient in Taoism, and the queen invited her to sit in the seat. Can the magic you perform be hidden from her eyes?" Marquis Wuyang asked.

"A little girl, how can she really be proficient in Taoism, the previous few rescues are probably coincidences." Tian Cheng snorted, a little disdainful, "Pimpedao's spells have never made mistakes, Hou Don't worry, Lord."
