After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 3: Can you choose a suitable husband for yourself?

It's draft day.

The palace was busier than usual, especially the Royal Garden. The girls who came to participate in the talent show were red, pink, and green, with fat and thin hair, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, making the onlookers feel as happy as a spring breeze.

All civil and military officials and their families were also present.

Especially the housewives, each one holding her daughter's hand and telling her how to smile, how to talk, as if she wished she could take her daughter's place in the draft.

The emperor has not yet arrived.

Pei Chuchu was dressed in a female official's uniform and stood quietly in the corner. Even though she had deliberately kept a low profile over the years, even if her face was not painted with makeup, she still had a beauty that could not be ignored just standing there, just like the unopened beauty in the corner. Peony King.

"whee!"

A playful laughter like a silver bell suddenly sounded.

A young girl with a double-ring bun trotted over happily and covered Pei Chuchu's eyes from behind: "Chuchu, guess who I am?"

"Tingju."

Pei Chuchu's voice was calm.

"Hey, it's boring!" Shen Tingju let go of her hand and puffed up her cheeks unhappily, "You guessed it right the first time, how can we play? Jiang Tianren is a little annoying, but there is one thing he said right. , you are the most boring of all of us!"

Pei Chuchu turned around, and Shen Tingju immediately made a face at her.

Pei Chuchu smiled slightly and quietly let go of his guard.

Shen Tingju was one of the few close friends of hers. She was born in the Zhenguo Duke's palace and had an elder brother named Shen Tinglan.

She also noticed the girl next to Shen Tingju and bowed: "Eldest Princess."

The girl who is called the eldest princess has a figure as thin and delicate as a swallowtail butterfly. She wears a white-gold honeysuckle flower skirt. She has a pair of phoenix eyes that are hooked inward and outward. Her skin is like snow, her face is round, and her whole body is as clear and clean as a mountain. The crystal snow looks like the moon in the clear water.

It is Xiao Mingyue, the current eldest princess.

Xiao Mingyue nodded slightly, her face was calm and she didn't say much.

Shen Tingju smiled and held Pei Chuchu's hand: "Today's draft, I don't know which noble girl will be chosen by my emperor cousin. My cousin has an unparalleled appearance. According to me, only Chuchu is standing in Chang'an City. You won’t be reduced to a foil by his side!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrogant snort came from the side.

A beautifully dressed girl passed by Cixie, bumped into Shen Tingjue hard, and turned her head towards the talent show flower stand.

Shen Tingju teased: "Hey, isn't this the eldest lady from Jinling Tour? Jiang Tian, ​​are you coming to participate in the talent show? I advise you to give up as soon as possible. My cousin doesn't like you at all!"

Jiang Tian turned back angrily: "You are the most annoying!"

Shen Tingju stuck out her tongue at her for a few times, then turned to Pei Chuchu: "Speaking of serious matters, I heard that your cousin is also going to participate in the talent show? Your cousin is not a light-saving lamp. If she becomes the queen, Concubine, your days in the palace will not be as carefree as you are now."

Pei Chuchu still looked calm: "I know."

"You know the devil..."

Shen Tingju couldn't help but mutter.

She looked at Pei Chuchu and then at Xiao Mingyue.

She secretly thought that she was really unlucky to have two close friends who were so quiet.

Fortunately, there is Jiang Tian who likes to noisy with her, otherwise this life would be impossible!

She picked up a piece of melon from the fruit bowl and took a big bite.

sweet!

The girl arched her eyebrows, her depression gone.

She said crisply: "My grandma said that when you are unhappy, you should eat flower cakes, honey, melons and pickled pork knuckles. My grandma's teachings are indeed correct!"

Pei Chuchu watched her enjoy the meal regardless of her image, with a little envy in his eyes.

Duke Zhen Guo and his wife are loving and affectionate. They are a model couple in Chang'an City. They dote on Shen Tingju very much and will take care of everything for her. Therefore, even if Shen Tingju does whatever she wants, it doesn't matter. She will never do anything. Influenced her to marry into a high family.

But for myself...

After entering the palace for ten years, things in the Pei family have changed. Now no one can plan for her.

She glanced around.

Today, the families of all civil and military officials are also present, as well as many young talents.

She pursed her lips without leaving any trace.

Does she...

Can you choose a suitable husband for yourself?

Sixteen years old is already the age to get engaged.

While she was carefully considering the husband present, a young palace maid came over in a hurry: "Sister Pei, Mrs. Pei, please come over and talk."

The Royal Garden is adjacent to the water and has a building.

When Pei Chuchu came over, he closed the door and windows tightly, and the screen stretched across the room, vaguely reflecting two figures.

"We Minmin look good in anything we wear. Come on, put on this crested hairpin."

"Auntie, do you think my makeup is too light?"

"Silly boy, those girls outside have too much make-up, and they are all the same. You should dress more lightly to stand out. In the past, when Princess Yong was still in Chang'an, didn't she also wear light make-up? Remember, light make-up will not hinder your success. Beauty, on the contrary, can enhance your clear water hibiscus-like temperament."

"That's what Aniang said."

Pei Chuchu quietly looked at the figure behind the screen.

It’s good to have a mother.

No matter what you do, there is someone there to teach you.

Unlike her, when she first came to Kwai Shui two years ago, blood got on her skirt. Because no one taught her, she was afraid for three days...

"The big girl is here."

The maid made a sound, alarming the mother and daughter behind the screen.

Mrs. Pei walked out with Pei Minmin.

Mrs. Pei stepped forward with a smile, touched Pei Chuchu's face, and said in a pitiful and weird tone: "It's a pity that we Chuchu were punished as palace maids, and we don't know that we will be released from the palace in the year of the monkey... In this draft, if your sister can If you are chosen, I will have you by my side to serve you. When you reach the age of twenty-five, I will definitely ask the emperor for a favor on your behalf and help you find a good marriage."

Pei Chuchu smiled and said nothing.

But she thought in her heart that she was not punished as a palace maid.

Her current status is that of a female official, and she is no lower than a noble girl from aristocratic families.

The eunuchs and maids in the harem, and officials from foreign dynasties even often bribed her...

Mrs. Pei sat down and said warmly: "I called you here because I wanted to ask you, have you ever spoken kindly to your sister in front of the Emperor?"

Before Pei Chuchu could answer, Pei Minmin said angrily: "Auntie, you are really, she is just a palace maid, what can she say in front of the emperor?"

Mrs. Pei said patiently: "What did my mother teach you on a daily basis? Even the emperor's watchdog has more power than a seventh-grade official. My mother taught you not to look down on them. Have you forgotten?"

Pei Minmin pouted and said nothing.

Pei Chuchu still maintained a gentle smile.

She folded her hands on her chest and said calmly: "Don't worry, aunt, I've taken care of everything I can. Auntie sees that other girls can only dress up in the garden, but my sister can stay here in the privacy of her arms." Xia, this is special, but others don’t have it.”

Mrs. Pei smiled brightly: "Auntie knows that you have always been capable. When your sister is chosen, she will definitely treat you as the eldest maid in her palace."

Pei Chuchu raised the corners of his lips with unknown meaning, gave a salute, and exited Baoxia.

When Pei Minmin saw her leaving, she frowned and said, "Pei Chuchu's appearance is too beautiful, I don't like her. Auntie, if she comes to serve me, will the emperor still like my face?"

"Silly boy!"

Mrs. Pei poked her forehead: "Pei Chuchu has been running the palace for many years, how many connections does he have?! When she becomes your personal palace maid, you will find ways to take over all her connections. Once you have finished using her, then It’s not you who has the final say on how to deal with it?”

Pei Minmin pouted: "But I just don't like her... I'm afraid the emperor will fall in love with her."

"You child, if the emperor liked her, wouldn't he have accepted her as his concubine long ago?" Mrs. Pei said amusedly, "It shows that the emperor does not like her. Now she has no one to take care of her. If you really don't like her, In the future, if you accuse her of anything and give it to the eunuch as a reward, who will dare to say anything bad about you?"
