Happiness Consist in Contentment

After Liu Rui entered the palace, she thought the selection would be over soon, but unexpectedly, after entering the palace, it has not started for half a month.

They were just taken to a palace and arranged to live there, and then began to learn palace rules every day.

This kind of boring study made Liu Rui feel annoyed, but she could only endure it and did not dare to resist.

At this time, Liu Rui discovered that the palace was not as good as she had imagined—the rules were strict, and people followed in and out.

And apart from the palace where she lived, she couldn't go out and wander around.

Anything written in the novel that can meet the prince by chance is all a liar.

The palace is so big and there are so many twists and turns, even if she can get out of the palace where she lives, she will never meet the so-called prince.

As soon as you go out, you will encounter either the servants of the palace servants or the guards on patrol!

If it is not caught as a meticulous work, it will be considered a good thing.

This kind of life is a hundred times more difficult than being in the palace, making her live like a year, and she just wants to leave the palace quickly and end such a life.

Liu Rui really regretted it in her heart: if she had known that entering the palace was so terrible, she would not come!

Thinking of Prince Chengyang, she regretted it even more! (ㄒoㄒ)

It was not until they were assessed again that the bishop's maid said to them, "Three days later, the queen will hold a palace banquet, and all the girls will attend. I hope the girls can get what they want and go well."

Liu Rui was shocked, and it was finally time for the real selection! that is really good!

Three days later, Liu Rui and others attended the palace banquet held by the queen. In the large palace, separated by a distance, men and women sat opposite each other. On the opposite side were eight princes who were nearly grown up and needed to get married.

The eldest prince passed away early, the second prince and the third prince were all married, and now he is the fourth prince, and several princes of similar age in the row below the fifth prince.

The youngest among them is the Eleventh Prince, who is only fifteen years old.

Liu Rui and the others sat down according to their birth status. Although Liu Rui was a prostitute, she was born in a palace, so she sat in the first row, the third from the bottom.

It was facing the Ninth Prince on the opposite side.

And the appearance of this ninth prince is also handsome and extraordinary. Looking at Liu Rui with a pair of peach eyes, she couldn't help blushing and beating.

It turned out that the princes also look so good-looking! All the dragons, chapters and phoenixes have extraordinary bearing, which made her dazzled.

The palace banquet held by the queen is actually just a passing scene. Each prince actually has a candidate in his heart, and the emperor also knows it.

, already set.

And the reason why they took so much trouble is to give them a fair reason to meet with their fiancée, and if they really don't like it, they can reconsider.

At the same time, they can also choose a few unimportant women as concubines.

This is also the tacit understanding among the royal people.

In fact, the girls who came to run for the election basically knew what they knew.

Except for Liu Rui.

She didn't know that the so-called selection of the prince and concubine was just a show, and the real prince and concubine had already discussed it in advance.

Except for the candidates for the prince and concubine, everyone else came for the prince's side concubine, or the position of the concubine.

The reason why Liu Rui came to the palace was because of the name of the prince and concubine.

However, she didn't know that Liu Zong was willing to send her here, not for the prince's concubine, but the prince's side concubine.

Liu Rui's appearance is good, beautiful and gentle, and she has the name of a talented girl, just right, she can win a prince's side concubine. No matter which prince, he would be willing to give this face to the Ningyang Palace.

And he can take the opportunity to make a bet and build a good relationship with the next emperor in Liu Rui's name.

And these, Liu Rui, didn't know anything about it, she was still stupidly waiting for herself to become a princess and go out of the palace with glory and glory.

Liu Zong probably didn't expect Liu Rui to overestimate himself so much, so he didn't tell her specifically.

It is impossible for a prostitute of the palace to become the prince and concubine.

Therefore, Liu Rui misunderstood herself, thinking that she really had a chance to become a princess at this time, as long as she worked hard to perform.

So, Liu Rui looked around and saw that several princes were good-looking, especially the ninth prince, who was not much different in age from her and as handsome as Prince Chengyang, so she couldn't help expressing herself.

Most of the palace banquets consisted of eating, drinking, and entertaining with singing and dancing. In order to give the girls who participated in the selection a chance to show off themselves, the queen also arranged for them to perform a show or something.

Liu Rui wrote ten very classic poems in one breath, which made everyone amazed when they saw it. They kept nodding their heads in praise, and were amazed.

After several princes looked at each other, they looked at each other, and the tenth prince winked and said to the ninth prince, "Ninth brother, this talented woman is rare, don't you think about it?"

The ninth prince gave him a light glance and said, "If you like it, you can accept it, and I will never stop it."

The tenth prince waved his hand and said, "No, no, I don't accept concubines?"

If he takes a concubine, don't say

If the imperial concubine did not agree, his mother and concubine had to beat him to death.

The ninth prince looked indifferent and said, "A woman who thinks she is right, only the fourth brother will have an idea."

The tenth prince agreed: neither he nor the ninth brother had any idea about the position, so naturally they wanted to find someone who could live in peace.

In addition, Jiu Ge's biological mother was from a humble background, only the daughter of a small official, and her status was not high, only Zhaoyi. He is also lazy by nature, likes to travel in the mountains and water, calligraphy, painting and chess, and there is really no need to get involved in those things.

Liu Rui looked at everyone's praise for her with a smile, thinking that the ninth prince would definitely look at her with admiration, but she didn't expect that when she looked over, the other party looked indifferent and didn't seem to be interested.

This made her depressed: Could it be that the other party doesn't like talented women?

However, just now she clearly saw that the other party admired the daughter of the Marquis of Anping who painted in front of her!

What's going on here? Could it be that the other party only likes calligraphy and painting, not poetry and poetry?

Liu Rui's heart was sullen, but the queen had already said a few words of appreciation, and given the reward, she could only salute and thank her, then stepped back and sat down, watching others perform.

Soon, the palace banquet was over, Liu Rui and others returned to the palace where they lived, and the next day, the will of the marriage came down.

Liu Rui was given the fourth prince as the side concubine. She looked at the magistrate in shock and couldn't believe that she was only chosen as the side concubine!

She didn't listen to the will below, she only felt that God was playing tricks on her - if she wanted to be a concubine, why should she enter the palace to suffer?

What she wants is to be the prince and concubine!

Why is this happening? Why?

However, no matter what she thinks in her heart, the will has been made, and she has no way to go back except to accept it, unless she wants to die!

Even if she wanted to resist the decree desperately, Liu Zong would not allow it.

Besides, she didn't even want to die.

Therefore, she could only accept the imperial decree aggrievedly and became the concubine of the fourth prince, and there were two other noble ladies who became concubines with her.

After she returned to the palace, she couldn't help crying to Liu Zong, "Father, why am I a side concubine? I want to be the prince's concubine, I..."

Liu Zong stopped her words and said, "Presumptuous!"

Liu Rui was so frightened that her face turned pale, and there were still tears on her face, and she looked at him for unknown reasons.

Liu Zong said lightly, "Go back peacefully, and when the time comes, get married happily, don't think about it, especially, this is a marriage granted by the imperial decree, you can't be willful!"

Liu Rui has never seen

With such a serious and cold expression on Liu Zong's face, she was aggrieved and sad, "Father, why?"

Liu Zong said coldly, "You are only a prostitute in the palace, and it is already a great favor to have the position of a concubine. Do you still want to be arrogant?"

Concubine, concubine again!

Liu Rui was full of unwillingness, and it was not what she wanted to be born as a concubine. Why did she have to be a concubine because of her status in the end?

She doesn't agree!

Liu Zong was too lazy to tell her more, as long as she married safely, whether it was good or bad, he would not care too much!

As long as his alliance with the Fourth Prince is reached, this will do.

Liu Ruiman returned to his yard aggrieved and cried, lying on the bed.

She doesn't agree! She is not reconciled!

She didn't believe it anymore, she went through a journey by herself, just to be a concubine!

She must resist and change her destiny!

...

Liu Fang didn't know what Liu Rui was thinking. She heard that Liu Rui was given marriage as the concubine of the fourth prince. She had already returned to the house. She raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself: Sure enough, Liu Rui really became the concubine of the prince.

I just don't know if she is satisfied.

However, thinking of her living in the palace, she felt unsatisfied when she grew up in fine clothes and jade, and I am afraid she would not be satisfied.

Liu Fang frowned. She was worried that Liu Rui would be a demon.

Now that she is the prince's concubine, if she acts as a demon, then everyone in the entire palace will be implicated.

Liu Fang instructed Qiu Jing, "Keep an eye on the second girl."

Qiu Jing was confused, "Girl, the second girl is fine, why are you staring at her?"

Liu Fang raised her eyebrows meaningfully and said, "She will not be satisfied that she is a side concubine. There are many banquets in various governments recently, and I am afraid that she will mess up."

Qiu Jing suddenly understood, "Yes, girl, this servant understands."

Liu Fang looked at the chessboard in front of her. As long as Liu Rui didn't bother, she really didn't bother to care about her.

Obviously he has a good hand, but he has to play sloppy, this is also a talent!

Isn't it good to eat fine clothes and jade in the palace? Be obedient, let Mrs. Wen, the old lady choose a suitable family for her to marry?

If you have to go to gain wealth, this is good. If you are really rich, don’t you still want to be a concubine?

Liu Fang felt that it was fine if she didn't have to choose, and some chose to kill herself. She really couldn't figure out what was in her mind.

...

In the days that followed, Liu Fang paid close attention to Liu Rui's news. In fact, she was only twelve now. Even if she became the concubine of the prince, she would not get married so soon.

Wen didn't take her out, but she herself would receive some famous posts from the Poetry Society, too.

going out.

Liu Fang paid attention to it for a few days and found that Liu Rui seemed to be very dissatisfied with the marriage at first, but after a few days, she looked like a young girl with a spring, which made Liu Fang feel strange.

It was Qiu Jing who came to report, and she knew that Liu Rui had met the fourth prince.

Speaking of which, the fourth prince looks good, and can be called a handsome young man, especially, he is very good at coaxing little girls.

After encountering Liu Rui a few times, he slowly caught Liu Rui's girlish heart. He sent love poems and gadgets again, and the love words were said in baskets and baskets, coaxing Liu Rui early. I forgot the original unwillingness to accept it, and my heart was filled with the pride and sweetness of being held in the hands of the fourth prince.

She just said that she went through a journey by herself, just to come here to be the heroine.

Although the start was not smooth, she believed that she would be able to turn over in the future and become a fairy companion with the fourth prince.
