Chapter 716: Aunt Xi Is Looking for Trouble

"Master, look!" Xiao Xuanzi presented the secret document.

Chu Liuchen took it, took it out and looked at it. The corners of his thin lips curled up, "Let them move first! Find the ones who disrupt the situation first!"

The air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

"What do you mean, do you want to wait and see what happens?" Xiao Xuanzi asked with his eyes widened.

"The trees don't want to be quiet, and the wind doesn't want to stop, so let's continue!" Chu Liuchen lowered his eyes and smiled, with his long black hair hanging down, quiet, elegant and beautiful.

Under the soft light, the beautiful young man is as beautiful as jade, with a gentle smile.

"Let them fight first. If there is any change in the hidden line laid out, they will be killed without mercy!" What came out of the corners of the pale lips were bloodthirsty words.

"What's going on at Duke Xingguo's Mansion?" Xiao Xuanzi hesitated.

"Be careful, there will be a general election after the new year. I don't want my brothers to reach out to Duke Xingguo's Mansion at this time." Chu Liuchen stood up and said in a dark voice, "If anyone dares to reach out to Duke Xingguo's Mansion, Stretch, cut it off!"

"Is it the same in the palace?"

"Same!"

The palace nun arrived at the Xingguo Duke's Mansion the next day, and the Tai Furen ordered people to invite the four young ladies.

The nurturing mother sat high under the wife's head, looking at the four ladies of the Xingguo Palace with critical eyes, looking at them from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, with a strong sense of scrutiny.

The madam smiled and said nothing, her eyes falling on Shao Yanru from time to time. She was very satisfied with this eldest granddaughter. Not only was she good-looking, but she also behaved generously and decently. She also had a good reputation. However, she had been troubled by her mother recently. A lot.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai regretted secretly. If she had known, it would be better to take her by her side and raise her, and now her granddaughter's reputation would not be tarnished because of such a mother.

Ru'er has always been kind and gentle. Even if she made some small mistakes, it was because her mother-in-law didn't teach her well. Thinking of this made her think of Princess Qinghua again inexplicably, and turned her eyes to Shao Wanru, who was sitting at the end. This granddaughter, she was really I really don't like it.

But even if she didn't like it, she had to say that her little granddaughter's appearance was no less beautiful than her eldest granddaughter's, and she even had a faintly repressive aura, which made the Dowager very dissatisfied.

The eldest granddaughter is bound to win the draft this time. Duke Xingguo can't wait any longer. Before, the eldest granddaughter was considered a sure winner, but now she has to be forced into the game. Since she has entered the game, of course she has to take charge of Prince Yue's Mansion and Zhou Dynasty. The palace.

Until now, the Madam has not thought about which mansion this outstanding granddaughter of hers should take over? And what about the little granddaughter in front of her?

But one thing is certain, the Tai Madam has no intention of letting Shao Wanru enter any royal palace. It is impossible for two sisters from one palace to marry two brothers from the royal family. Even if it is for her eldest granddaughter, Shao Wanru should not give it to her. No chance, but with such a look, is it really impossible to enter the palace?

The madam's brows were knotted with worry, and she looked at Shao Wanru with cold and scrutinizing eyes from time to time.

Where will this girl go after the draft?

With such an outstanding appearance, it is almost certain that she will be selected. In addition, she is also her own granddaughter and the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruian. From these aspects, it seems that with her status, once selected, she will definitely be one of the principal concubines. Bit.

If Shao Wanru is selected, Ruer will have no chance!

She doesn't allow this to happen.

The room was very quiet, and there was an eerie feeling about it. It seemed like there were people scrutinizing everywhere, not just Aunt Xi who was sitting above, but also the Madam. Shao Wanru's face was very calm, and she lowered her head without a trace of emotion. He turned his head and looked at the corner of the floor tile in front of him.

The long eyelashes flickered slightly, and a pair of cold eyes were locked behind the long black eyelashes. From the outside, only half of a delicate little face with lowered eyebrows could be seen.

Her skin was like snow, her lips were pretty, and the simple clothes she wore on her body already made people feel breathtakingly beautiful.

Grandma Xi's eyes finally fell on Miss Shao Wu in front of her. After examining her carefully, she coughed lowly.

"Miss Shao Wu."

When he heard that he was called, Shao Wanru raised his head, smiled at Aunt Xi above, and asked softly: "What can I do for you, Auntie?"

"I heard that Miss Shao Wu is renovating for her mother. Will she be there in three years?" Aunt Xi said with a serious look on her face. She picked up a case book placed on the table and flipped through it.

"Not yet!" Shao Wanru said.

The case file was heavily slapped on the table, and Aunt Xi said with a cold face: "Does Miss Shao Wu know the principles of human ethics? How can anyone choose to be drafted before their parents' filial piety is fulfilled?"

The harshness of these words directly sounded like Shao Wan was being unfilial and unjust.

"Mommy is wrong. I don't have the final say on the draft. What's more, I heard that the draft hasn't started yet. When the draft comes, I will have been there for three years." Shao Wanru said calmly.

When this nanny asked her the first question, she knew that this nanny had bad intentions. Now that she saw it, she was really targeting her.

A woman's marriage has always been the order of her parents. There is no place for a woman to kiss the matchmaker. What's more, in such a big event as the draft, how can she choose just because she wants to?

The imperial court has its own discerning people, so how can a woman who is still observing filial piety be selected.

Grandma Xi's words were just looking for trouble. It seemed like she just wanted to use this excuse to make trouble.

"It seems that Miss Shao Wu wants to be in the draft?" Aunt Xi's brows twitched. Although she didn't press the question from the previous point, the meaning in her words was also evil.

It is indeed unusual for a nanny to make things difficult for a woman being educated.

Glancing at the lady who was sitting next to him, and seeing that she didn't pay attention, Shao Wanru's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. Does this mean that he just stood by and let this person called Aunt Xi humiliate him?

"Mommy, how can a woman be independent if she wants to draft a draft? All the draft lists are confirmed by the Queen. What she means is to doubt the Queen's decision, and she feels that the Queen has been deceived. Really?" Since no one was going to help him, Shao Wanru became more and more cold.

He raised his eyes and looked at Aunt Xi without hesitation, smiling as brightly as glass.

As the Empress, how could she dare to question the Empress's decision? Aunt Xi was choked by Shao Wanru's words and couldn't answer for a moment, but then she became angry from embarrassment. She was the person close to the Empress, and she had always been the only one. Why would I be asked by a little girl when I scolded others?

"Bold!" Grandma Xi shouted.

Shao Wanru smiled at her, without any humility or cowardice in his expression. He stood up and bowed deeply: "I don't dare to be bold, but did you come here today to scold me, or did you educate us for the Queen's sake? What if? Reprimand me, I will go back and wake up right away. As for why our family reported my name, please also ask grandma to reprimand our family!"

After Shao Wanru finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Aunt Xi, then turned around to leave.

Aunt Xi, who came from the palace, looked like she was here to cause trouble. In this case, she would not be here to accompany her.

When she saw that Shao Wanru had barely said a word, he actually dared to show her face like this. She raised her feet to leave. Grandma Xi's face turned green with anger. She pressed her hand on the table and was about to get angry.

The tea cup in Mrs. Tai's hand was put down heavily, and the crisp impact stopped Shao Wanru's steps.

"Five girls, sit down first! They just said a few words, why did they lose their temper!"

"Yes!" Shao Wanru paused, but still turned around obediently and sat down in front of the chair again! This Aunt Xi who came from the palace wanted to suppress herself. She wanted to give herself a blow when they met for the first time, and even brought up the Queen's name. However, she never thought that her words would also humiliate the Duke of Xingguo, and even The face of Mrs. Xingguo now.

How could this person lose face in front of his granddaughters?

"Auntie Xi, it's like participating in a show. It's the intention of the Queen Mother and the Empress. Doesn't Auntie Xi know?" Mrs. Tai said coldly.

She wanted to pretend not to see it and let the nuns around the Queen empress humiliate Shao Wanru and suppress her, but she didn't expect that the entire Xingguo Duke's mansion would be involved, and she didn't want to see a nanny doing anything in her own house. Prestige brings blessings.

The Queen's status is very noble, but even if a nanny beside her is favored, she cannot be so presumptuous in her own house, especially in front of her, repeatedly doubting Shao Wanru's selection on the list, this is not to step on it My own face?

Mrs. Tai always speaks her mind in Duke Xingguo's mansion. How come she is not happy when she encounters this kind of thing?

Madam Tai was angry and mentioned the Queen Mother again in her words. Aunt Xi did not dare to do it again, so she turned to Madam Tai and said with a smile: "I came in a hurry. I didn't know that there were four young ladies in your house who were running for election. Just now After reading the case record, I realized that if there is anything wrong with me, I hope that my wife will forgive me!"

Now that Aunt Xi has given in, Mrs. Xi will not hold on to her. Besides, she does still have something to ask of Aunt Xi. She nodded, her face softened, and she pointed at a few people in the hall, one by one. Grandma Xi introduced her. After the introduction, she smiled and said, "I'm going to trouble Grandma Xi in the next period of time!"

"What trouble is that? This is what I should do. The Queen sent us here to teach several good ladies from well-known families the various palace rules and etiquette when entering the palace!" Aunt Xi said with a smile. This look was the same as the one just now. He looked like he was looking for trouble fiercely, as if he was a different person.

What she meant by this was that several young ladies from the Xingguo Duke's Mansion must have been selected. A smile appeared on Mrs. Tai's face and she nodded: "Even if it is the Queen's intention, I have to thank Aunt Xi." , Auntie Xi, do you think learning etiquette should start today or tomorrow?"

"Just tomorrow, let the ladies have a rest today, and we will officially start tomorrow!" Aunt Xi thought for a while and said, as if she was planning for the ladies of Xingguo Palace. She looked so kind, if not for Shao Wanru has just experienced it personally, and he may also feel that Grandma Xi is actually very kind to others.

"That's very good!" The Madam nodded in agreement with a smile. It just so happened that she also had something to arrange, and she had enough time!

Shao Wanru narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people sitting there chatting happily, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes...
