Sweet and sour lotus root

Xia Changsong looked at the wrinkled old ox, cheered up and comforted him: "Sister, don't be afraid. As the saying goes, red flowers must be covered with green leaves. Standing next to it, you will look like a flower, right?"

Xia Tong: “…”

It makes sense.

Forget it, having transportation tools is better than not, otherwise her legs would be exhausted if she walked into the Forbidden City with both feet.

Xia Tong pulled off the two big red flowers in disgust, and got into the carriage with a cat waist. Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly remembered something and poked out his head and said, "Brother, if I win the election, don't forget to ask my eldest aunt and second aunt for congratulations."

Xia Changsong couldn't help laughing, knowing that this girl was unwilling to suffer losses, so Zheng pointed out, "It must."

Who said that the big house and the second house are not kind enough to do it? He never walked out of the door every day, but he was rushing to travel today, which was obviously a stumbling block to the third house. Then, of course, this interest must be obtained.

Although Yunyang Bo Mansion is now in decline, it is actually a foundation of a false title. I heard that there are few talents in the harem of the emperor today, so there is no need to worry about the election.

However, as soon as you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea, you may not be at home when you enter. Thinking of this, Xia Changsong's face inevitably showed a little loneliness, "Actually, you could have avoided this talent show..."

Xia Tong was always open-minded. She waved her hand and said simply: "If I don't go, it will be Ayu's turn. She is only one year younger than me and has a dull personality. Do you think she can live well in the palace?"

Although for her, a time traveler, the wife of the third wife is not her biological parents, after all, she has raised her for so many years and it is time for her to repay her - only enjoying rights but not taking on obligations is something that only ungrateful people will do.

Xia Tong always believed that a person should have his own responsibilities when he lived in the world, and not to mention that the palace was not very scary to her. It would be better to say that she had to participate in this talent show in order to avoid asking for marriage.

Xia Changsong sighed: "Cousin Cheng Yao asked someone to send a letter the day before yesterday, asking why you insisted on rejecting relatives..."

Xia Tong seemed to have called a mosquito bite, and felt uncomfortable all over. He could only hesitate: "Cousin Cheng has his ambitions and future, and I shouldn't delay him."

Although Cheng Yao is a handsome man with gentle temperament and family background, he is impeccable and good match in any aspect. But because of this, Xia Tong never thought about how he liked her. Could it be because of the mutual attraction between time travelers? But she didn't want to be attracted to him at all!

When Cheng Yao recited "Shui Jitou" at the flower viewing banquet at the age of ten, Xia Tong knew that this person was the same as him. However, the ambitions of the two were completely opposite. Xia Tong just wanted to be a salted fish at any time, but Cheng Yao had great ambitions - although his approach made Xia Tong unable to agree.

With the song "Shuitu" song, Cheng Yao successfully became famous in the capital. He has been known as a child prodigy since childhood. He has become more and more amazing in recent years. Everyone says that he will win the first prize in this spring exam, and some even place bets in the gambling house for this. However, Xia Tong said bluntly, what is the difference between this and plagiarism? Even if Cheng Yao wins the top scorer, she will not look down on him because of this.

When Xia Tong thought of living with such a husband in the future, she felt that she was covered with ants. Instead of listening to him show off his sour poems every day, it would be better to go to the palace to sit on the bench! Therefore, the Cheng family had just sent a matchmaker to the coming, and the next day Xia Tong asked her father to hand her a post to the Ministry of Revenue and wrote her on the list of the talent show, and then she successfully escaped.

Xia Changsongsu and Cheng Yao were unavoidable to feel depressed for this cousin. He never expected that anyone would refuse Cheng Yao's proposal. He just thought that Xia Tong insisted on sacrificing himself for Xia Yu. He said sincerely: "Sister, you have paid too much for our family!"

Xia Tong: “…”

I thought too much, she is really not that great.

Seeing that the sun was noon and it was too late, Xia Tong waved to his brother, "You go back, I will take care of myself."

She was still the same little adult style. Xia Changsong smiled, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but feel sour. She lowered her head and rubbed it - she really couldn't bear to leave her sister.

Yu Xia Changsong said that he was afraid that she would be selected, and that she would not be selected. Even if the returned girls could discuss marriages as usual, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a lower level than those selected. With such snobbishness, I would be afraid that it would be difficult to say a good marriage.

But for Xia Tong, this move is only allowed to win but not lose. She was really tired of Cheng Yao running to Yunyang Bo Mansion three times a day, and it would be more pleasant to cut off his hopes.

After all, she was a little worried and ridiculed. Xia Tong asked the ox cart to park in an alley a little far from the palace gate. However, she came forward and a eunuch in charge led her in.

The girls gathered in the imperial garden. The time for the draft was not much shorter than that. They had already spontaneously lined up. Xia Tong was led by the nanny and pulled him to a position in the middle of the team - roughly comparing to a height.

Beside her was Li Mi, the daughter of the Imperial College Priest. The two met at a family dinner and were nodded. Li Mi said in surprise: "I heard that someone proposed marriage to the Xia family. I thought it was you, but now I know it's not."

Xia Tong was inconvenient to explain too much, so he could only smile vaguely.

Seeing her expression relaxed, Li Mi felt a little alert in her heart. In terms of heart, Xia Tong was not as beautiful as her white skin, but her clear eyebrows and eyes also had her charming features.

Li Mi thought she had a little dark skin, and her facial features were pretty, but she was afraid that she would not be able to show up when she stood next to Xia Tong, so she couldn't help but lower her eyes and secretly thought about countermeasures.

Suddenly, an old eunuch shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is here~"

The girls were busy cheering up and preparing to welcome the next interview in the best condition.

The rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the beautiful women faced the saints, were all in groups of two, which was conducive to showing their demeanor and also facilitated the emperor to see their faces clearly - it was better than blind choice.

Li Mi quietly pinched Xia Tong's hand, "Sister, you and I have both good looks, and I will definitely be selected later."

She was half a year old, so she deserved the word "sister".

Xia Tong then replied with a grateful smile and thanked her for her comforting words. When she turned her eyes, she found a pebbles lying quietly in the corridor of the palace wall. Strangely, there are special people cleaning the inner courtyard of the palace every day, and today is the day of the talent show. It is said that those servants and maids would not make such mistakes.

He was suspicious in his heart. When the head-in-chief nanny saw that someone was still whispering, he couldn't help but get angry, "Who is still talking here? I'll disturb His Majesty and Empress Dowager later, I want to see who can afford it!"

While scolding loudly, he walked towards Xia Tong with his eyebrows and eyes wide open.

Xia Tongman thought he would be scolded, so he was busy and kept his face calm. Unexpectedly, before the nanny in charge arrived, her feet suddenly slipped and she fell to eat shit.

There were a few smart girls coming forward to support me.

The nanny in charge shook off the hands of these little hoofs and struggled to stand up with her old waist, "You don't need to pretend to be kind!"

He angrily called the eunuch who cleaned the palace road, "What are you doing? Fortunately, I fell today. If I change to any master, please take care of your head!"

The eunuchs hurriedly apologized.

The girls covered their chests and were afraid. Although a small stone could not kill themselves, the crime of losing their manners in front of the emperor was quite serious. If His Majesty saw his miserable appearance, would he still be a human being in the future?

Fortunately, this nanny blocked the disaster - thinking of her fierce and rampant just now, everyone was a little pleased.

Xia Tong noticed a trace of dodging in Li Mi's eyes sensitively, and couldn't help but say, "Sister, have you seen something?"

Li Mi was shocked and said embarrassedly: "How can I know anything? It's the first time I've been to the palace..."

I was secretly depressed. Why didn't Xia Tong step on that little stone? No matter how bad it was, it would be better to trip some outstanding girls. Now everyone is alert, and it is difficult for her to do something through the space.

The Xia family's luck is too good.

Suddenly, the eunuch sang loudly: "Li, the daughter of the priest of the Imperial College, and Xia, the daughter of Yunyang Bo, met with him."

The two of them hurriedly lowered their eyes and followed.

Although Xia Tong was a little suspicious of what happened just now, she was not the time to find out the truth. She could only try to calm down and try to perform well in front of the emperor. She did not speak out, and at least she could not bring shame to her family. After all, in this era, women and their families were both prosperous and both lost.

Of course, she also hoped to choose, only in this way could she get rid of Cheng Yao's entanglement - he could never chase him into the palace.

"Are you Xia?" said a slow voice from above.

It is the tone of a young man, with a little magnetic slight sound - it sounds nice but doesn't feel very energetic.

Didn’t the heroes in history all have clear and energetic voices? Did she meet a foolish monarch? Xia Tong was thinking a lot and did not dare to delay it. She hurriedly replied: “Yes.”

Lianbu moved forward half a foot so that people could see her clearly.

The emperor looked at her, and Xia Tong raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the figure on the imperial throne. Even though he intended to be a salted fish in the palace who was waiting to die, Xia Tong was inevitably curious about the owner of the imperial city.

Although he couldn't tell the appearance clearly, Xia Tong felt that the monarch was quite majestic. Although his outline was so handsome that he was speechless, his whole body was full of solemn and murderous.

To sum up: Be handsome; look fierce.

Xia Tong subconsciously shrank his neck.

Xia Tong swallowed the meat bun in two angrily, as if it was the meat from the person opposite.

Liu Zhang:...

I didn’t do anything last night, why did my appetite get better?
