Chapter 734: The Pavilion Where I Lived in My Previous Life

There are about the same number of people on the left and right, but the people on the left are a level higher than the people on the right in terms of demeanor, appearance, and overall feeling.

Pointing over one by one, Shao Wanru and Zhang Qilan also stood on the left. Shao Yanru had already stood there early. Even Shao Caihuan was there, but Shao Cailing was on the right. Shao Wanru only took one look and knew in his heart that he should be the loser. For those of you who have been elected, it is not surprising that Shao Cailing was not selected, but Shao Caihuan was also selected.

"Fifth sister, where have you been? My two sisters have been looking for you together for a long time." Shao Yanru was a dignified elder sister, so she naturally walked over and asked softly.

"I met Miss Zhang and had a conversation, which made the eldest sister worried!" Shao Wanru said.

"Just come back, just wait for now!" Shao Yanru smiled and whispered, looking at Shao Caihuan standing next to her, feeling very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after all the show girls were divided into two sides, a stewardess came out and told the show girls on the right that they had lost the election and asked them to pack their things and go back now.

As soon as they entered the palace to put down their things, they were rushed back. Some people were confused, some cried, and some were so happy that they hurriedly went back to pack their things, so that they could catch up on dinner time at home.

After all the beautiful ladies on the right left, the flower hall immediately became much empty. Shao Wanru's eyes swept over the remaining beautiful ladies calmly. No matter what they thought in their hearts, these people at least looked very calm. Compared with the various gestures of the beautiful ladies on the right when leaving, this part of the beautiful ladies are obviously better at hiding their emotions.

He lowered his head, looked down at his toes, and listened quietly to the palace stewardess talking about the various rules in the palace, and warned them that if they didn't bring them with them, the scope of their activities would be here in Chuxiu Palace. If you offend the nobles in the palace, you will bear the consequences.

This so-called "results at your own risk" is not just a matter for her alone, it may even affect the family behind her.

As soon as these words were said, the show girls became as quiet as chickens, and some of their faces turned pale with fright. The uneasy atmosphere made the originally peaceful scene a little less peaceful.

After threatening, the stewardess said the next thing. Next, the show girls had to receive various etiquette trainings. Among them, a painter would paint portraits for them, and then send them to the Empress for her to choose.

After the grandma in charge finished speaking, she no longer restrained these beautiful ladies. Today is the first day of entering the palace. These beautiful ladies are also very tired. All classes will be held tomorrow.

After the nun in charge said they had dispersed, everyone relaxed and walked out together in twos and threes. At least the current step had been passed.

Shao Wanru, Zhang Qilan and a group of beautiful women walked back together. The two of them walked together for a part of the way, but fell behind the crowd in order to talk.

Outside the crowd, Qi Ronzhi looked at Shao Wanru with complicated eyes. Seeing that she didn't notice him, he lowered his head and followed the crowd forward.

She also came to run for the election, and she was indeed selected, but she really had no idea what would happen next. During the three years in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, she was no longer the arrogant Qi Rongzhi she had been in Jiangzhou.

Shao Yanru is extremely outstanding, but now she has to admit that Shao Wanru is also outstanding, and her excellence makes her jealous. She even says that she is more jealous of Shao Wanru than Shao Yanru.

Obviously both of them came from the same place. It was obvious that I was better than Shao Wanru at the beginning. It was obvious that I looked down on Shao Wanru at that time, thinking that he was just an orphan picked up by General Qin on the battlefield. He had no father and no mother and no one cared about him. That's all, but she didn't expect that after entering the capital, she would suddenly transform into the eldest daughter of the former prince Xingguo.

And no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get the reputation of being the goddaughter of Duke Xingguo's wife, and he even worried about his own marriage because of this reputation.

Why could Shao Wanru live such a good life? When she saw Shao Wanru's gentle smile just now, she felt even more heartbroken.

But no matter how heart-wrenching she was, she now knew the difference between the two of them and did not take the initiative to rely on her. The eldest brother said that during the palace draft, several people from the Xingguo Duke's mansion should be there, and asked her to be careful. The eldest lady Even a deep-minded person, Shao Wanru is not easy to deal with.

Now, avoid them for now, and wait until one day when you step on others to get the upper hand, you will see how they kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.

Having made up her mind, Qi Rongzhi became more and more reluctant to see the young ladies from the Xingguo Palace discovering her. Her eldest brother told her to keep a low profile and said he would make arrangements.

The house she lives in is at the back, and there are very few people coming here. Most of the ones who stay are in the front, closer to the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

Compared with them, she is almost insignificant, but this is her only chance. Even if she has a low status, she has to enter the palace. This is her only chance. She has been held back for so long, and her status is low in the first place. Obviously, my family background is not high, and now that I am older, it is even more difficult to choose this marriage.

Sitting silently in the room, gritting his teeth...

Shao Wanru didn't know that Qi Ronzhi had also come in, and that like Shao Yanru, she was obsessed with entering the prince's mansion. She was talking to Zhang Qilan and walking very slowly. By the time they parted at the intersection, the two of them had fallen to the back, and the one in front was Everyone disappeared without a trace.

After separating from Zhang Qilan, Shao Wanru turned around and was about to go to his residence, but saw Xiao Xuanzi's smiling face like a flower appearing at the intersection in front of him, so he could only step forward.

"Fifth Miss, our prince invites you to come over!" Xiao Xuanzi came out from behind the bush where he was hiding with a smile, and bowed respectfully to Shao Wanru.

"This time?" Shao Wanru looked at the sky. Although it was not yet evening, it was still the time when the sun was setting. The sky already set early in winter.

"Yes, that's it, very quickly." Xiao Xuanzi smiled and stretched out his hand.

Looking at his look, he knew it was impossible not to go. Shao Wanru moved forward helplessly. He had just chosen a round. Those who should leave were still packing their luggage, and those who had not left were also resting. The palace people did not know where they were at this time. There, it was quiet at the palace gate.

Shao Wanru followed Xiao Xuanzi out of the gate of Chu Xiu Palace and went out. After walking for a while, he saw that this journey did not seem to be going to the back door of Prince Chen's Mansion where Chu Liuchen was.

"Where are we going now?"

"I'm waiting for you in front. You're here!" Xiao Xuanzi smiled and pointed his finger forward.

Shao Wanru followed his finger and saw a familiar pavilion, just behind the rockery in front of him. He clenched the handkerchief tightly and slowed down.

How could she not recognize the pavilion in front of her? In her previous life, she lived here after entering the palace. It was close to the Chuxiu Palace and it was very convenient for the beautiful ladies to come and draw portraits.

At that time, there were four painters who painted portraits of palace maids, three men and one woman. He was one of them, but the other three lived in another place, far away from him. Only he lived in the pavilion in front of him.

There was a reason why she was separated from other painters. On the one hand, it was because she was a woman and there could only be three painters living there. On the other hand, it was Qi Baiyu who worked secretly to allow her to have such a quiet residence. , instead of having to squeeze in with others.

"Your Majesty... why are you here?"

"This was originally used by our master to rest, and it is also close to the side entrance of Prince Chen's Mansion. The Queen Mother was afraid that our master would be tired from walking sometimes and had no place to rest, so she gave this place to our master to rest! "

Xiao Xuanzi said nonchalantly.

Shao Wanru's fingers holding the handkerchief trembled, and something seemed to flash through his mind.

"Your father...has been using it?"

"Yes, our master has been using it. Everyone in the palace knows that the whole building was decorated by our master himself. Our master likes this place very much. The other nobles in the palace know it. But now that there are so many people, we I may not be able to come over again!" Xiao Xuanzi said.

While leading Shao Wanru along the winding path, he looked right in front of him, but in fact it was still some distance away.

"Your father, will you not want this attic..." Shao Wanru hesitated, "Or will you give it to others to live in?"

"How is it possible? Our master likes this place the most. It is better than the palace where our master lived before. That palace is still empty. The Queen Mother wants our master to live in the palace sometimes without having to go back. , but our master is unwilling. He would rather rest here for a night sometimes than go back to the palace where he lived when he was a child! "

Xiao Xuanzi shook his head repeatedly.

Shao Wanru held the handkerchief in his palm and broke out in sweat. He could feel the slight moisture in the handkerchief. His fingers moved slowly, as if there was a stiffness that had not been moved in many years.

"The talent show in the Chuxiu Palace is looking for a painter to paint portraits. This place is so close to the Chuxiu Palace... could this place be requisitioned so that painters can paint portraits of the show girls?"

Shao Wanru heard her extremely calm voice. This voice sounded calm to outsiders, but to her, this was how she felt now, as if the words were not what she said.

"No, no one in this palace knows that this place is our master's place. Even the queen will not ask for the requisition of this place." Xiao Xuanzi smiled, thinking that today's Miss Shao Wu is really interesting, blindly I asked my father to let this place go. This situation was different from the past. Could it be that Miss Shao Wu had other deep intentions.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanzi asked tentatively: "Miss Fifth, do you want to live here?"

Xiao Xuanzi thinks it is very possible. This place is much better than the one in Chuxiu Palace. Of course, if others ask about this, Xiao Xuanzi thinks it is too whimsical. His father will never give up this place. , but if it is Miss Shao Wu, Xiao Xuanzi thinks this should not be a big problem.

"No, it's better for me to live in it." Shao Wanru shook her head. She certainly wouldn't have such an idea.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't let go of the weirdness in my heart: "Would your father not like this place anymore?"
