Zhao Ruizhi never thought that her heart would beat so fast, so warmly, thud-thumpingly, throbbing crazily in her chest. When she thought of what Zhao Chengfeng said, she was so excited that she became the empress of the palace... , a respected figure under one person and above ten thousand people, serving the Ninth Five-Year Lord, what an honor is this
Zhao Ruizhi has never been a simple girl. If she had been pure and straightforward, she would not have appeared in Zhao's mansion, and she would not have coaxed the old lady to like her so much... Although her status plummeted because of Zhao Jinyu's intervention, she had to Admittedly, as a bloodless adopted daughter, it is very rare to be able to do what she is today.
Zhao Ruizhi is an ambitious girl, because she has suffered more than others since she was a child. Her biggest dream is to stand taller than anyone else. Now that such an opportunity is in front of her, how can she not be excited
Seeing Zhao Ruizhi's excitement, Zhao Chengfeng felt that it was natural and also somewhat hidden disappointment in his heart. He always knew that Zhao Ruizhi valued fame, fortune and power, but he let her see her like this. More or less uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, waiting for Zhao Ruizhi to become the empress in the palace, power, money, fame and fortune, what can't be obtained? That's the most important thing, isn't it
He will help Zhao Ruizhi get to that high position, and Zhao Ruizhi will also reciprocate his wish. This is a win-win thing, isn't it
Zhao Ruizhi's heart was broken, and she said solemnly, "If Ruizhi can really enter the palace as a concubine, she will definitely not forget my brother's support."
Zhao Chengfeng replied, "Of course I will go all out."
The two had their own ideas, but they reached an agreement. Because it was too late, Zhao Chengfeng was afraid that he would not be able to get out, and the lock of the small courtyard would be released early... So they agreed to talk in detail in a few days, and then went back first.
But he left Zhao Ruizhi a huge ripple, a dream like a dream.
Zhao Jinyu didn't know the situation here, and she didn't know that the emperor had arranged for the draft to let her enter the palace earlier. She had a good chat with her grandfather. , then the grandfather's love is like mountains and rivers, giving her a wide space for her to visit freely. In fact, this is also due to her personality, and the personality difference between men and women is just.
But the mistake is that Zhao Jinyu is not a toddler who needs to be cared for all the time, but a big girl, so she actually likes her grandfather more, sometimes... She will feel that her grandmother cares too much and expects her emotionally. I was a little out of breath, so even though I knew that I should go to see my grandmother after dinner with my grandfather at night, I still made excuses for myself and said that it was too late and didn't go, because she knew that my grandmother would definitely blame her, and she I really don't want to hear this.
Half a month later, there was a lot of excitement about the talent show in the palace. Some people were happy and felt that this was an opportunity, while others were thinking about how to get rid of such an honor. In short, some families were happy and some were worried.

Hangzhou prefect Gu Jue's jaw almost dropped when he saw Qin Hong. He couldn't understand why Qin Hong, the emperor's confidant, would come over in person after just one draft... He could only think of one possibility, probably Qin Hong was short of money these few days, so he thought of getting some money here before going back.
There are people who feel that entering the palace is like entering an abyss and never return. Naturally, there are also people who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, but what if some people do not have enough conditions? Eunuchs are easy to bribe to pick!
Although Gu Jue disdained Qin Hong's status as an eunuch, he had no choice but to curry favor with such a person. Finally, he thought of a way to spread the news that Qin Hong was supervising the draft in Hangzhou. He is a smart person, so he naturally knew what to do. Sure enough, within a few days, he received a stack of greeting cards, all of whom wanted to visit Qin Hong, but how could everyone see Qin Hong's identity, so So he sent his subordinates to see what medicine these people sold in their gourds.
In just a few days, Qin Hong's room was full of gold, silver, jade, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. Qin Hong felt very comfortable. His eyes stayed on a painting of flowers and birds from the previous dynasty, he touched it reluctantly, and muttered, " If the lady saw it, she would definitely like it, but it's a pity..." Qin Hong hurriedly looked away, but he didn't forget why he came here, the emperor had already told him that this time he went south for the eldest lady of the Zhao family, other girls It's just a foil.
Since His Majesty values this girl, he must spare no effort to make this happen, so these gifts cannot be accepted. Although he is a eunuch with no future, he also knows the truth of being soft-spoken and short-handed, and His Majesty With so much importance on this matter..., he also has to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
Qin Hong put away all his things, feeling the pain of not being able to enjoy seeing a beautiful woman, thinking anxiously, this Gu Jue! What a dodgy thing!
At this moment, a subordinate came over from outside and said, "My lord, there is news from the Zhao residence."
Qin Hong suddenly became energetic, got up and asked, "Say."
"The Zhao family will select a girl to participate in this draft, but..." the subordinate said with some distress, thinking of the prosperity of the Zhao family's heirs, "there are seven or eight girls of the right age in the Zhao family, and I don't know who will be selected." .”
Who to choose? It goes without saying that Miss Zhao Jinyu must be chosen! Qin Hong slandered in his heart, but his brain turned flexibly, but after a while he came up with a clever plan and said, "Go outside for a walk and report the news, and say that your majesty has seen the appearance today, and said it is more consistent with counting rabbits. "
The selection in this draft is what the emperor likes... If the emperor doesn't like it, what's the use of not being able to make the emperor look favorably? It's better to marry your daughter to an ordinary family, isn't it? So Qin Hong released the news that the emperor and the rabbit are more suitable this year, and naturally many people will follow him.
The subordinate understood Qin Hong's intention after thinking about it, and said, "This subordinate knows, it's just that my lord... don't you want to visit the Zhao residence? It's good to have a look at that Miss Zhao." This subordinate is Qin Hong's. His confidant, since he came to Hangzhou, has been secretly watching Zhao Jinyu, and he is responsible for her safety, so he naturally knows the whole story.
Qin Hong sneered and said, "Would a Qingliu family like the Zhao family entertain an eunuch like me?"
The subordinate was indifferent, regretting that he had said too much, and said respectfully after a while of silence, "The subordinate will go and resettle it now."
"go Go."
After waiting for his subordinates to leave, Qin Hong looked at the opposite direction in the north and said to himself, "So what if he is an eunuch? Su Qingchen is not an eunuch... Hehe, isn't it because he didn't finish his errands and was sent to the northeast to enjoy the snow? "Thinking of Su Qingchen looking for the snow lotus that he didn't have at all in the freezing snow, he felt comfortable all over, and his heart grew more eager to finish this job well.
Qin Hong himself didn't know, he just said that the zodiac sign of the rabbit coincides with the emperor, and the girls of the right age who belonged to the zodiac rabbit in the Hangzhou mansion are all on the rise. At first, some families were ready to let their prostitute daughters become show girls, but later I heard that this After the incident, I started to look for girls who belong to rabbits among relatives... Of course, girls who belonged to rabbits originally felt very happy, as if they could become a favorite concubine as long as they entered the palace.
The Zhao family also became a mess because of this incident.
Coincidentally, the girl of the Zhao Family Rabbit happened to be Zhao Jinyu alone. This is of course why Qin Hong said that on purpose.
The old lady grabbed Zhao Jinyu's hand and began to wipe her tears, saying, "Qingluan, you are my grandmother's lifeblood, how can my grandmother have the heart to let you suffer in the palace?"
Zhao Jinyu didn't expect that she would be included in the draft list in a blink of an eye. She naturally knew about the draft, because it has become a hot topic in Hangzhou these days, but she thought that her grandparents were the only ones like her. A granddaughter was found with great difficulty, so naturally she would not be allowed to go to the palace. At that time, the grandmother told her the same way, telling her not to worry. Anyway, the person who entered the palace must not be her, who knew in a blink of an eye The situation changed suddenly. It is said that news came from the palace that the emperor and the rabbit belonged to each other.
It's funny to say, there are seven or eight girls of the right age in the entire Zhao Mansion, but she is the only one who belongs to the rabbit. Do you think it's a coincidence? If she didn't know that she didn't know the emperor in the palace at all, she would have suspected that this was a trick specially designed for her to enter the palace.
She said the same thing to Shishi when she was sleeping at night, "Isn't the one who belongs to the rabbit referring to me? Shitou, tell me, did the emperor catch a glimpse of me by chance, and then fell in love at first sight and never forget it, and he couldn't specify me alone. People enter the palace, so this battle is actually all for me." Zhao Jinyu was intoxicated with herself, and said casually according to the plot of the bloody Mary Su in the novel she read.
The reaction of the stone at that time was also very interesting. It immediately changed from a white Yuhua stone to a bright red chicken blood stone... just like the expression of a human being when he is shy.
She just thought it was funny at the time, and said, "If I didn't know that you are a stone spirit, I would have thought you were the emperor in the palace."
The stone was so angry that she didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Jinyu didn't tease it anymore, turned around and fell asleep, she had full confidence in her grandparents, she thought that even if the girl who was born in the year of rabbit was said to be compatible with the emperor, she would not be sent out, who knows When I came here early in the morning, I saw my grandmother losing her temper here.
Zhao Ruizhi silently wiped her tears from the side, and said solemnly, "Grandmother, let me take my sister there, I am willing."
