Chapter 733: Eavesdropping, Born with a Phoenix Life!
"Wait a moment!"
Shao Wanru turned around in shock, only to see a nanny under the shadow of the lamp on one side.
There was a table over there, and an old grandma was sitting behind the table. She looked much older than the previous grandma, and because she happened to be under the shadow of the lamp and because Shao Wanru was so flustered, she didn't notice.
"Just take off the outer clothes!" The old woman raised her eyes and looked at Shao Wanru and said gently.
"The rest..." The previous nanny was stunned for a moment and said at a loss. She had never encountered such a thing before.
"That's it!" said the old lady.
The grandma in front didn't dare to say anything anymore.
It's just that it's much easier to take off all the clothes than to take off all the clothes, but even so, Shao Wanru's face turned red. The grandma who heard the inspection pressed a few times on her hands and legs, and asked a few questions. After she finished answering and the results of the examination were recorded, they nodded and asked her to leave.
After putting on his outer clothes again, Shao Wanru retreated outside. His face still felt hot. Fortunately, he only took off his outer clothes.
"Fifth Miss!" A joyful voice came from the front. Shao Wanru looked up and realized that he had walked to a flower hall, where all the ladies who had checked before were gathered.
It was Zhang Qilan who spoke.
"Miss Zhang!" After calming down and calming down the blush on his face, Shao Wanru smiled and said, Zhang Qilan also lived in Yuhui Nunnery for a period of time that day. The two of them were close friends during that time and had a close relationship. good.
Shao Wanru also admired Zhang Qilan's lively temperament.
"You're really here too! That's great. I was worried before that you wouldn't come!" Zhang Qilan took Shao Wanru's hand and said affectionately, while pulling her to a pavilion next to the flower hall to talk.
There were two young ladies sitting together in the pavilion chatting quietly. When they saw them coming, they gave them a friendly nod.
The two men also smiled at the two ladies and sat down at the fence on the other side.
"I thought you were still observing filial piety!" Zhang Qilan leaned over and pointed to the flower hall: "There are too many people there, so it is better here!"
Just now, because there were too many people, she came to the door to wait.
"My parents' filial piety period is here in just these two days!" Shao Wanru said softly. Although there are still a few days left, he has basically stopped counting. After all, learning palace rules and etiquette is not a real talent show, it is just the first level. , just leaving out some inappropriate people, and the royal family also knew about this, and they approved it without saying anything.
Next, is the key.
"That's great. I thought it was so boring at first, but now it's great to have you here!" Zhang Qilan said happily, "Where do you live? Can I come to you when I'm free?"
"Okay, I'm in the last room in the second row over there." Shao Wanru pointed in the general direction.
Zhang Qilan stood up, pointed in the direction of Shao Wanru's finger, asked again, then sat down again, nodded with a smile and said: "Great, I understand, you see we are actually quite close, I am right next to you It's not far away, it's not far from you, it's the first one in that direction, if you have time you can come and play with me."
Zhang Qilan pointed with her right hand.
Shao Wanru looked in the direction and nodded. Zhang Qilan's father was Zhang Xiang. It was naturally impossible for his daughter to live in the back and share a room with others. It was inevitable that she would live not far from him.
Originally, the daughter of an important minister's family lived closer and better than those in other houses.
"You...are you okay?" The two of them were very happy after reporting their seats. Zhang Qilan suddenly leaned over and pointed to the show girls who were still in line with a blushing face and said vaguely.
After saying this, Shao Wanru thought of his own scene just now, and his face flushed again, "Are you okay?"
"It's not bad, it's better to go back home early!" Zhang Qilan sighed and said helplessly.
"You don't want to be drafted?" Shao Wanru glanced sideways at Zhang Qilan. Zhang Qilan also looked very good, with a bit of cuteness in her beauty.
"I don't want to!" Zhang Qilan shook her head. She didn't like coming to the palace the most. She was restrained everywhere and had no freedom at all. Every time she followed her mother into the palace, she felt uncomfortable.
"What did your father say?" Shao Wanru hesitated and asked.
"What my father means is that I may not be chosen." Zhang Qilandao lowered his voice and approached Shao Wanru. Then he looked around and saw that the two young ladies were also talking in a low voice and did not notice them. , he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your eldest sister will definitely be selected. Which palace will she go to?"
"I don't know!" Shao Wanru shook his head calmly.
"Your eldest sister is so outstanding, and they say that your eldest sister is the most beautiful woman. If this most beautiful woman doesn't join the royal family, how could she still fall into an ordinary family!" Zhang Qilan curled her lips and said. She and Shao Yanru had met several times. That Miss Shao did look dignified and decent, but she always felt a little too fake.
It seems that this Miss Shao is perfect without a single flaw. In her brother's words, there are few women in ancient times who can match Miss Shao's talents and appearance, not to mention Miss Shao's extraordinary status. She is the kind of woman that a young man from aristocratic families would most like to marry.
"Is it being spread outside?" Shao Wanru asked in a low voice with his heart moving.
"Yes, don't you know? Everyone has been talking about it before, but it has been talked about the most in the past two days. They also said that the reason why Mrs. Xingguo went to Yuhui Temple was to worship Miss Shao and fulfill her vows!" Zhang Qilan clicked. nod.
There was a strange look on Shao Wanru's face. She recalled what she had just heard on the carriage from the idle people talking outside, and the crowds of people crowding in front of Shao Yanru's carriage. If Mrs. Xingguo returned her wish, then it would be terrible. It's really accurate.
Why make a wish at this time? He asked his mother to go up the mountain because of illness when he couldn't go. In other words, this wish could not be known to others.
It cannot be known to anyone, and it is extremely important. Unless she enters the palace during the palace draft, news comes out that Shao Yanru will definitely be selected. An idea flashes in her mind, and she suddenly feels that she may know why Shao Yanru was not selected in the last life. Entering any royal palace is a matter of entering the palace.
If she is a minister and her achievements are great, she will inevitably suffer backlash; if she is a woman, she seems to be able to capture the royal children with ease, coupled with the power behind her and her appearance of pushing her to a lower position, it is also difficult for her to do so. It was enough to arouse the emperor's taboo.
We never know the final answer before the draft is announced.
Predicting the emperor's will without authorization and acting as if he is well-deserved and sure of victory will not only make the dragon unhappy, but also affect the identification of the prince.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. Shao Yanru wanted to take control of this matter, but he never thought about it. Of course, there might be other people here who are adding fuel to the fire.
But no matter what, it is certain that Shao Yanru's trip to the palace will not be successful.
"Mrs. Xingguo in your house really went to fulfill your eldest sister's wish. What kind of wish did she go to fulfill? Why can't she just say that she was fulfilling her wish but not say it clearly?" Zhang Qilan saw that Shao Wanru was in a daze and reached out to hold her clothes. He shook his sleeves and said.
"I really don't know. It's true that my second aunt is in poor health!" Shao Wanru said with a wry smile. She didn't expect that things would develop in this direction.
"Really sick?" Zhang Qilan said in disbelief.
"I'm really sick!" Shao Wanru didn't hide it. No one else knew about this kind of thing. There were many people in the palace who knew about it. After all, Concubine Shu's accident was also very involved at that time. People like Xiang Zhangxiang should inquire carefully. , you can definitely find out.
"Okay! I really thought I was born with a phoenix life!" Zhang Qilan muttered and relaxed. She thought there was some important inside story, but it turned out that there was no inside story, it was just what others heard.
"Born with a phoenix life?" Shao Wanru was excited, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Qilan almost in astonishment. She was sure that this news definitely did not come from the Xingguo Duke's palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Zhang Qilan, "Please speak softly."
In fact, Shao Wanru's voice was already very soft.
Shao Wanru shook his head at her, indicating that he would be gentler. Zhang Qilan came to Shao Wanru with sweating profusely and said, "I don't know if this is true. I also overheard it."
"Where did you overhear this?" Shao Wanru asked in confusion.
"Actually, it is an occasional opportunity. I went to Huaguang Temple with my father to listen to scriptures. My father sent me out. After playing outside, I felt bored and came back again. I was afraid that my father would send me away again, so I secretly When I came back and passed behind a meditation room, I happened to hear someone talking about this matter. In fact, I just listened to it for a while, and I don’t know whether it is true or false.”
"Are you talking to your father?" Shao Wanru asked.
"It's not my father. My father is still in a Zen room in front. The other rooms are empty." Zhang Qilan said, "I didn't dare to listen more. Later, I came out secretly and met my father. My father also asked me to Don’t talk nonsense and say I heard you wrong, you can’t tell me now!”
Zhang Qilan said, her voice getting lower and lower. Although she is relatively naive, she is not ignorant. This kind of innate destiny is not something that can be talked about casually. It is a life-threatening matter.
Shao Wanru frowned slightly when he said that he was still alive. Although Zhang Qilan said that he only heard it once, Shao Wanru believed that someone really said that.
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. The people inside didn't speak well, so I vaguely heard words like "Tian Tianfeng Ming, the young lady of Xingguo Duke's Mansion" and so on. After that, I didn't dare to listen more." Zhang Qilan said this She still felt lingering fear. When she turned around from the back, she realized that there were guards in front of her, but they were not the guards of her own house.
"I heard that the host of Huaguang Temple is well-known for his proficiency in Buddhism!" Shao Wanru said thoughtfully.
"That's what I said, but I don't know if it's true!" Zhang Qilan said nonchalantly, and stretched out his hand to pull Shao Wanru and said, "Look, they are getting better soon. Let's go back to the flower hall!"
Shao Wanru looked up at the small team and nodded.
When they returned to the flower hall, the nuns were already taking roll call, and they were divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.
