Chapter 513

Baili Anning saw Sanjang for the first time, originally thought it would be a chubby little doll, similar to the twins when they were young, only to be surprised to see that Sanjang looked skinny and small.

Shen Ninghua picked Sanjang up, the small child was already able to recognize people, extraordinarily reliant on her, rubbed against her arms, grinning a small grin and began to smile.

“This kid …”

“Because it wasn’t a full-term birth and suffered some bumps in the middle, this child’s body was extraordinarily weak. Now, under Chen Yuanzheng’s conditioning, it has already gotten better.” Things have already passed, Shen Ninghua also did not want to go into details, only a word.

Baili Anning looked at Shen Ninghua, her heart felt a little bad, “I didn’t expect that your days have also been so treacherous.”

“It’s fine, it will always get better.” Shen Ninghua kissed Sanjang and looked towards the children who were playing and messing around, “Okay, let’s not talk about these spoilers, later I’ll ask the people to choose some good materials and make a few outfits for each of the four children. Seeing that they like the same color, why don’t we just make them look the same, it might be fun to wear them.”

Baili Anning couldn’t help but laugh even thinking about that scene, “Good.”

In the former dynasty, originally Baili Junyi still wanted to use the excuse that he wanted to start the encyclopedia as an excuse to delay the time of the draft a little bit backward, but the courtiers in the court have submitted a letter. Saying that the draft is a matter for the harem, and that it can be organized by the Empress Mother alone, and that there is no conflict with the imperial examinations in the former dynasty, so why delay?

Baili Jun Yi heart sneer more than: this moment to think up the selection of the queen of the harem is the matter, before you how to jump so happy.

These officials are also thick-skinned, although they read Baili Junyi’s meaning, but the Emperor did not explicitly say so, they are also happy to play dumb.

Shen Ninghua didn’t have any opinion, since the officials support the selection like this, then open it, anyway, the time is almost up, wait until these ill-intentioned people finally find out that the bamboo basket is empty, then the expression I don’t know how wonderful it should be.

After entrusting the children to Baili Anning’s care, Shen Ninghua concentrated on starting to set up the matters for the draft. Although as the Empress, she only needed to move her mouth, but after all, the draft was a national event, and could not lose the face of the Royal Family. Moreover, for some high status showgirls, also need to know in advance, whether it is arranging accommodation, or arranging to teach the rules of the Rehabilitation Sisters, all need special care some.

For the first time, Tai Consort Qi saw three children wearing identical clothes and almost thought that her eyes had blown out. It was also fortunate that Sanjang was not carried out, otherwise she was afraid that she would be even more surprised.

Although Boss and Little Treasure didn’t have too many encounters with Dowager Concubine Qi, they heard from Chengrong Rui that this beautiful Dowager Concubine was his grandmother and loved him extraordinarily. They were not afraid of being born, and after bowing in a regular manner, they stared around with wide eyes.

Qi Tai Guifei was in an extraordinarily complex mood at this time, not knowing whether to praise Shen Ninghua for her sentence about having a heart, or to be angry that she was too sure of herself. Some time ago, she even let someone go out and say rumors in front of her children, and today she dared to let her children appear in front of her alone. Wasn’t she really afraid that she would strike?

Looking to the side at Chengrui who was pulling at the hem of her skirt, Tai Consort Qi sighed and raised her smile to order the palace maids and sisters at the side to go and prepare snacks and refreshments. For the sake of Baili Anning and Baili Jinze, and for the sake of this child, Chengrui, she didn’t want to create any more sins, and what’s more, she couldn’t lay her hands on these two lovely children. At the beginning, when she was still a consort, she had never laid a hand on a child, and now she would even less likely to break through this bottom line.

Boss and Xiaobao smiled as they strolled around the Qi Tai Guifei’s palace, seeing quite a few of the knickknacks that Qi Tai Guifei had purchased for Chengrui these days, and for some of the ones that they hadn’t seen before, they couldn’t help but be a little bit novel, but they only looked at them briefly and put them aside.

Qi Tai Gui Fei could not help but sigh in her heart, the Empress is indeed good at teaching children, thinking, letting people bring out quite a few toys for the three children to play with. The three children were extremely happy, after playing for about half an hour, the oldest and the youngest treasure were still responsible for putting the toys away, hand in hand to Qi Tai Gui Fei to say goodbye, “Tai Gui Fei, we’re leaving, come to say goodbye to you.”

Qi Tai Guifei was a bit surprised, “Seeing that it’s almost lunch time, don’t you need to leave again after lunch?”

“Thank you, Tai Gui Fei, we still have to go back to practice the big characters, it’s just right to go back now, otherwise father and mother should be worried.” In front of outsiders, they no longer used the titles father and mother.

“Good, then this palace will have someone send you all, where is Chengrui, do you want to have lunch here at grandmother’s?”

Chengrui looked at Qi Tai Guifei and then at her little brother and little sister, and went up to pull Xiao Bao’s sleeve, “Grandmother, Chengrui is also going to practice the big characters, and will come back tomorrow to accompany grandmother for lunch, okay?”

“Good,” Tai Consort Qi smiled and nodded, bending down to help him straighten up his clothes and having her beloved palace maid carefully send them back.

Waiting for them to leave, Qi Tai Guifei couldn’t help but sigh once again, “The Empress is really good at raising children, look at the Prince and Duke, clearly only at a young age, things are already in a relaxed manner, one word and behavior is already quite elegant, it’s really enviable.” Even Chengrui, who hadn’t been with them for long, spoke much more smoothly than before.

Sister Zhou, who was at the side, quickly said, “Why should Your Highness be envious, you are also extremely knowledgeable in raising children.”

Qi Tai Guifei shook her head, “Don’t say some good words to comfort the Palace, can’t compare can’t compare. Sister Zhou, you follow the palace for a long time, before also helped the palace to manage the things of the draft, these days you go to the empress’s palace to see, if you can use you, you concentrate on the empress’s errand, if not, you’ll come back.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Don’t have anything else on your mind, get down to business, understand?”

“The old slave understands.”

Inside the Kun Yu Palace, Shen Ning Hua saw Sister Zhou, could not help but smile, “labor qi too noble consort worried, is really the palace’s should not. Sister Zhou is an old man in the palace, this palace is the first time to organize the election, many things are not clear, you have come just in time, this palace let someone go to Zhongzi Palace to say a word, borrow you for a few days, and after that, then make a special trip to thank you to too noble consort.”

“Your Highness has discounted the old slave, it is an honor for the old slave to be able to help your Highness, and the slave will certainly do her best.”

“Uh-huh.”

In qi tai guifei side for a long time of sister Zhou does have two brushes, Shen ninghua with her use also feel at ease, many things let her draw up a statute, view nothing wrong, then commanded to go down to let people in accordance with this to do. With half a month, the preparations for the draft is almost complete.

The showgirls of each family had already been reported to the Royal Family, and were only waiting for the day when the palace gates would open.

On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month, the heavy palace gates slowly opened. The young ladies of each family came toward the palace in their carriages.

Shen Ninghua leaned on top of a loft, looking at the direction of the palace entrance from afar, and couldn’t help but take a sip of the clear tea at hand.

Baili Anning on the side saw this leisurely look of hers and couldn’t help but make a snide remark, “It’s just that you’re so broad-minded, aren’t you worried about your royal brother being snatched away by these flowery beauties in general?”

Shen Ninghua put down her tea cup and smiled slightly, “If Baili Junyi has me in his heart, naturally I don’t need to worry, if he doesn’t have me in his heart and wants to leave someone else behind, there’s no use me worrying about it, why bother?”

Baili Anning covered her lips and laughed lightly, “You, it’s not that you’re not worried, but you’ve eaten up the Emperor’s bar, knowing that he’s deeply attached to you and won’t make things difficult for you.”

Shen Ninghua smiled, although she did not affirm, but the bottom of her eyes carried sweetness, and only after a long time did she say, “Now that I think about it, the last time I watched the draft, it was when father was around, and now it’s all up to me to organize it myself.”

“Who says it isn’t, it hasn’t been years if you think about it, but why does it feel like it’s been a long time. Could it be old age?”

Shen Ninghua reached out and poked her cheeks, “Well, it’s not as hydrated as before.”

“Well, I can’t believe you came to mess with me!” Said the man, unable to help but step forward to tickle her.

The two people made a mess for a while before stopping, leaning against the attic window to blow the wind. A pass of playful down, the heart of the annoyance as if with the sound of laughter flow away in general, the mood can not help but ease a few points.

Baili Anning looked at a few showgirls walking in front of her, “Although the distance is too far to see the appearance of those showgirls, I have heard that the highest status is Qin Xiang, the first granddaughter of the Duke of Qin. However, I have heard that the highest status is Qin Xiang, the first granddaughter of the Duke of Qin, her father is the Minister of War, Qin Chao, and I heard that she has a good temperament, grew up in a family of military generals, and she is quite bright.

And the most outstanding appearance, but a fourth-ranking official’s first daughter Gu Wan Yi, before the Kyoto has never heard of her name, is in the draft to start after the sudden rumors, said to sink fish and geese, closed moon and shy flowers …”

Shen Ninghua nodded and said with some emotion, “There are really quite a lot of beauties that have appeared this year….” Tu Su Qingli, Bu Linglong, and now there is another Gu Wanyi, I just don’t know if this Gu Wanyi is worthy of her name.

Baili Anning looked towards Shen Ninghua’s exquisite and peerless face, especially the pair of eyes that were as clear and cold as a dark galaxy, she couldn’t help but mourn in her heart for the daughter of that fourth-grade official, what are you proclaiming that is not good, you have to proclaim the beauty, she really didn’t believe that there was anyone whose looks could be compared to Shen Ninghua’s.

Today is just the preliminary election, there is nothing Shen Ninghua, she just need to wait for the reelection. In the evening, Baili Junyi came to Kun Yu Palace, as soon as she entered the door, she hugged her, wrapped in her arms and rubbed, more sticky than Xiao Bao.

Shen Ninghua’s ears flushed, “What’s going on here?”

“Nymph, I miss you so much.”

“We met just before your morning court today, it’s only been most of the day, what are you thinking?”

“A day without seeing is like three autumns, it’s been a long time for most of the day.” Baili Junyi hugged her slender waist and sat on the soft couch aside, holding her in his arms without letting go, “Ninghua, with so many more people in the palace, I feel like the entire palace doesn’t smell good anymore.”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh lightly, “Today, An Ning and I were still discussing it, saying that you’re blessed, but there are many, many beauties coming in today.”

“Hmph, there are many beautiful colors in the world, but there are three thousand weak waters, I only take a scoop. You, Ning Hua, are more than enough for all the colors in the world. Ninghua, I love you so much.”
