Didn't love you enough

Chapter 35

    In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of the eighth year of Yuntai, and after Lin Jiabao was promoted to side lord, Xuanyuan Hancheng often took him to attend various banquets and celebrations held by the palace.

    Lin Jiabao would obediently accompany the prince every time. His speech and behavior were very decent, which made people feel very comfortable. Sometimes when the empress summoned the female family members of the court, she would also call Shang Jiabao to accompany her. Over time, the harem concubines and courtiers all got to know this Lin Fangjun who was loved by His Royal Highness and the Empress.

    In March of the eighth year of Yuntai, officials of the fifth rank and above from all over the country sent their daughters to Beijing, and the eight-year draft of Yuntai began. After screening by family background, appearance, etc., after passing the primary selection, more than 30 people were left to live in the Chuxiu Palace. They will live here for a period of time to learn palace rules, show their talents, and be observed. After completing their conduct, they can finally decide whether to stay or not.

    Both Wen Wenqian and Zhang Chunwei passed the primary election smoothly. Zhang Chunwei has been treated by Imperial Physician Qian for several months. Apart from being a little thinner, she looks no doubt like ordinary people on the surface.

    Zhang Chunwei vaguely felt that her time was running out, and she also knew the agreement between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her parents. There is a belief supporting her, she knows that her parents are for her. Zhang Chunwei thought that she must fulfill her parents' wishes, so that she could leave without regret...

    Yao Yulan was not able to participate in the draft this time, since Xuanyuan Hancheng did not want her to enter the palace, naturally he would not give her any chance. A few days before the draft, Yao Yulan suddenly developed a rash on her body. The red rashes on his face were densely packed, which was frightening to see. Yao Yulan angrily cursed that someone was trying to kill her, but Mrs. Yao couldn't find any clues after searching for a long time. The Yao family had no choice but to complain about their daughter's illness. The Yao family was looking forward to the draft, and Yao Yulan was very unwilling to give up the draft.

    When the queen heard the news that Yao Yulan was unable to participate in the draft, she sighed and said, "It's a pity..."

    In a corner of the imperial garden, the show girls visited the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden. Today, the empress invited us to enjoy the imperial garden, and all the beautiful women worked hard to show their best side in front of the empress.

    The queen looked at that among the thirty, the most outstanding ones were undoubtedly Wen Wenqian and Zhang Chunwei. In addition, there are two Shuang'er among the 30. Presumably, they were sent to the palace because they heard that His Highness the Crown Prince likes Shuang'er. The queen saw that both of them were born as the concubine sons of everyone, and they were not as cute as Jiabao, so they were destined to return without success.     On the other side of the imperial garden, Xuanyuan Hancheng and his younger brother were in the gazebo looking towards the beautiful girls in the distance. The gazebo was on a relatively high terrain, so they could see it very clearly.     "Brother Prince, let's go back, I'm sorry." Xuanyuan Hanqi said shyly when he saw so many young and beautiful girls.     "Second Emperor, you are not young anymore, and it's time to marry a regular wife. The queen mother is looking for you... What do you like?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked his younger brother.     "I... I... As long as the queen mother likes it, it must be a good choice." Xuanyuan Hanqi patted his own head and said naively.     "That's your wife, of course you have to like it." Xuanyuan Hancheng pointed to Wen Wenqian who was answering in the distance, "Look at that lady in the lake green dress, this is Wen Wenqian, the daughter of Uncle Jing, She is well-educated, talented, and good-looking. The queen mother and I both like her to be your concubine."     Xuanyuan Hanqi looked in the direction the prince pointed, and saw that Miss Wen's temperament was as elegant as walking in a lady's picture. As if coming down, Xuanyuan Hanqi's handsome face instantly flushed red, and he stumbled and said, "I... all depend on the queen mother's idea..."     Xuanyuan Hancheng saw it in his eyes and knew it in his heart. Afterwards, Xuanyuan Hancheng told the queen that his younger brother was interested in Wen Wenqian. After hearing this, the queen thought about it, but was still a little hesitant, "This Wen Wenqian was originally chosen for you as a princess..." "A gentleman does not take what others like     . Since the younger brother has taken his fancy, the older brother will naturally fulfill it." Xuanyuan Hancheng said.     "It's hard for you to think of your brother everywhere." The queen praised the prince. "Okay, since your younger brother likes them, and the two are very suitable, I will tell your father. What about you, the crown prince? Do you have a favorite?     " " Xuanyuan Hancheng said to the queen.
