Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is December of the eleventh year of Emperor Chongming.

During this period, Jia Yun went outside the capital camp every day and spent the rest of the time in his mansion. His life was quite peaceful.

But today, Ning Mansion is lively.

The Supreme Emperor and Jia Yun had earlier arranged a marriage, and the wedding date was set for the second day of February next year. As the wedding date got closer, the palace sent the so-called trial marriage maids to Ning Mansion.

Under the system of the Qian Dynasty, the princess had to arrange for a palace maid to stay with the prince-in-law for a period of time before getting married.

Before receiving a task, a palace maid is usually canonized as a princess and then sent to the palace of the prospective prince-in-law.

Although they hold the title of princess, they have little status. Their task is to live a married life with the prince-in-law before the princess and the prince-in-law officially get married. She will adjust the looks, character, talent and physical condition of the prince-in-law, and even the couple. A detailed and comprehensive assessment of the person's ability to live was carried out and then presented to the emperor, the queen mother and others for appreciation.

After all, the royal family cannot be careless in selecting a consort. The family background and character talents can be seen, but in terms of physical health, it depends on the "trial marriage maid". Therefore, before the wedding day comes, the trial marriage palace maid must complete this mission and task. , if there is a problem with the prospective consort, the royal family will also cancel the marriage. You can't let your life be wasted in vain.

Therefore, whether the prospective consort can marry the princess is mostly in the hands of the "trial marriage maid".

The prospective consort will treat them politely, just to let them write in the best possible way, so that they have a greater chance of passing the test.

Therefore, if there is no big problem with the prince-in-law, the maid in the trial marriage will try her best to put in good words to facilitate the marriage.

After the princess marries the prince-in-law, the maids in the trial marriage will generally continue to stay in the prince-son-in-law's house, but their status will still be that of palace maids.

If you meet a princess with a bad temper, her life will be miserable, and she may not know how she died. So on the whole, the endings of court ladies in trial marriages are very tragic. Those who can turn around and become the master almost none.

The trial marriage of maids is just a face-saving project of the imperial power. For the happy life of the princesses, they can only sacrifice their own happiness, but they have no choice but to let their fate control them.

This system originated from the Ming Dynasty's audition system for consorts.

The audition system for consorts, as the name suggests, is for the private sector to select consorts.

Starting from the Ming Dynasty, princesses could marry the children of common people, regardless of their origins. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", "When choosing a prince-in-law, the Ministry of Rites will order the officials in Beijing to be children of soldiers and civilians between the ages of 14 and 16, with neat appearance, dignified behavior, and family education." Sign up, and the ministers of ceremony will meet in the princes' halls to make selections. If you are not successful, you will visit Ji Nei, Shandong, and Henan. Three people will be selected, one will be appointed by the emperor, and the remaining two will be sent to the Confucian school of this place to serve as students."

In order to ensure the selection of a consort with both good looks and good looks, the Ming Dynasty established a strict screening process for consorts. Just like the selection of super girls, the judges were composed of highly respected and loyal ministers and eunuchs, lest the selection be wrong and ruin the happiness of the princess's life.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the trial marriage system became more and more perfect. Finally, after Taizong of Daqian took over the country, this system still existed.

Even if this matter was decreed by the Supreme Emperor, there is basically no possibility of changing it, but the system is the system, and no one is exempt from it, so now Jia Yun is also encountering this kind of thing.

Although it was a trial marriage, it was still very ceremonial. The palace maids had to wear wedding clothes and red headscarves, and then waited in the bridal chamber for the arrival of the prospective husband-in-law.

Jia Yun looked at the woman with a red hijab in the room. She didn't look excited. Instead, she felt more and more calm. She lifted the red hijab and saw that the girl sitting on the bed was eighteen or nineteen years old. She was in her prime and had a delicate appearance.

The complexion is white and greasy, and the red makeup makes her look even more charming.

It goes without saying that anyone who can enter the palace must have good looks.

Seeing Jia Yun sizing her up, the palace maid turned her head slightly, her pretty face full of charm.

Now that I have become a court lady for a trial marriage, I am naturally mentally prepared.

But for some reason, when she saw that Jia Yun didn't move for a long time and was still sitting on the brocade stool, the palace maid thought that Jia Yun was nervous and reminded her: "Consort, it's getting late."

When Jia Yun heard this, he didn't take it seriously and said seriously: "I'm ill and it's not convenient for me to have sex."

Hearing Jia Yun's words, the palace maid felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a long time. The prince-in-law is sick, which is a disaster!

"Consort, this is no joke." The palace maid said solemnly, looking at Jia Yun expectantly, hoping that what he said was a joke.

Jia Yun said seriously: "It is true that you are ill. You can sleep here for one night and report truthfully tomorrow."

After saying that, Jia Yun didn't say much, turned around and left, leaving the astonished palace maid alone.

……………………

Xiaoxiang Pavilion, wing room.

At this time, Daiyu was leaning on the soft cave, holding a book and looking "seriously".

Zicuckoo brought the tea, looked at Daiyu's appearance, and said worriedly: "Girl, you'd better be more relaxed. After all, this is a royal marriage, and I can't do anything about it."

When the Supreme Emperor made the marriage decision earlier, Jia Yun and Daiyu explained it carefully. They both knew that Jia Yun was unwilling.

Hearing this, Daiyu said nonchalantly: "I didn't take it to heart in the first place, so why should I relax?"

Seeing Daiyu's stubborn mouth, Zijuan immediately showed no mercy to Daiyu and said: "So, you girl who didn't take it seriously, your book was knocked down, did you know?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard this, then looked carefully at the book she was holding, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly stood upright.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo smiled and said, "Young lady, you are really confused."

When Daiyu heard Zijuan's joke, she suddenly became embarrassed and spat: "You damn girl, you dare to laugh at me, I have to tear your mouth open."

With that said, Daiyu wanted to step forward to "teach" Zicuckoo. Seeing this, Zicuckoo hurriedly said: "Girl, okay, let's stop making trouble. I'm here to tell you something serious!"

Hearing Zijuan's serious words, Daiyu also understood what Zijuan wanted to say, so she said helplessly: "Good sister, I know what you mean, Brother Yun... I won't think too much about it."

Zijuan knew that although her daughter didn't worry about the prince-in-law's affairs on weekdays, she always cared about it in her heart. It wasn't about Jia Yun's private life. After all, Daiyu didn't care about the maids around Jia Yun at all.

It's just that the princess is no one else and has a distinguished status. If she enters the house, she will directly threaten Daiyu.

Not only that, the princess also robbed Daiyu of her identity as the mistress of Duke Ning's mansion.

Although Daiyu is also the legal wife, she is so different that anyone else would be disgusted with her.

After thinking for a moment, Zijuan said: "Girl, I have always been with you in my heart. Even if the princess enters the house, I will protect you and never let you be wronged."

Daiyu also knew that Jia Yun was looking towards her in her heart. Even if she got into a temper, Jia Yun would not quarrel with her like Baoyu from Xifu. Instead, he would comfort her with gentle words.

How could Daiyu not know how he was treated with such care?

Daiyu became more and more dependent on Jia Yun. Thinking of the princess entering the house in the future, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little irritated, so she said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. Let's take a rest early!!!"

It's a good thing that Zijuan sees that Daiyu can think about it. If it were in the past, Daiyu would have been restless in sleep all night long, with tears streaming down her face!!!

It has to be said that since entering Dongfu, Daiyu has become more and more cheerful. In the final analysis, it is still the credit of Jia Yun. After all, although Jia Yun rarely comes to look for Daiyu, the sense of security given by Jia Yun is full. People must have

If you rely on someone, your mind will be calmer.

Zicuckoo stepped forward to help Daiyu change her clothes and rest. At this moment, Jia Yun walked in, saw Daiyu changing clothes, and said, "Aunt Lin is going to bed?"

The maids and servants of Xiaoxiang Pavilion all knew that Daiyu was Jia Yun's future husband, so they did not stop him and let him in and out. If not, they would not have seen Aunt Lin, who was half-undressed.

Hearing Jia Yun's voice, Daiyu was startled for a moment, then she seemed to remember something, her front face was as hot as fire, and she hurriedly put on her half-taken coat.

Jia Yun didn't care, he walked in directly, found a seat and sat down, minding his own business and drank the tea.

Daiyu's pretty face was flushed, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Yun, if you don't want to enjoy the blessings of your family, why are you here with me?"

Hearing this tone, it sounded like he was angry. I don't know whether he was annoyed at Jia Yun's Qi people's blessing, or because he was angry at Jia Yun for seeing something he shouldn't have seen.

Jia Yun raised the corner of his mouth and joked: "I heard that there was a grudge woman in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and my nephew came here specially to have a look."

"Bah, fart, where did this harem come from? Stop burying others." Daiyu spat in a rude voice.

Who else could she call "a deeply resentful woman"? It was obvious that Jia Yun was making fun of her. Also, Daiyu was a young lady, not a woman. Jia Yun was simply "humiliating" people.

After hearing this, Jia Yun followed Daiyu's words and replied: "Yes, yes, my nephew has misunderstood. Xiaoxiang Hall has nothing to do and is a grudge. I will deal with those who spread the rumors tomorrow."

Daiyu snorted and said angrily to Jia Yun: "It would be better if we beat them all to death."

Listening to these words, Jia Yun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This little girl is so "evil"...

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled when she saw Jia Yun's embarrassed expression. She was proud that Jia Yun could come to see her at this time.

But it was out of time, so Daiyu said: "Brother Yun, you still have something to do. Go there as soon as possible. Don't make people wait."

Daiyu was talking about the trial marriage of the palace maid. Although she was petty and temperamental, she knew the general situation. She knew that the protagonist today was a person from the palace, so she couldn't neglect her.

"It's okay. My nephew told her that I'm ill and can't have sex. She just needs to tell her the truth tomorrow." Jia Yun said without caring at all.

Hearing what Jia Yun said, Daiyu looked startled, and then said in shock: "Brother Yun, what are you doing?"

Saying that, Daiyu ignored the rules and stepped forward to pull Jia Yun, urging: "Quick, quick, hurry up, go back and explain to her clearly. If the royal family blames her, watch your skin carefully."

Jia Yun was unmoved and said comfortingly: "Aunt Lin, don't worry, my nephew is well aware that nothing serious will happen."

Seeing Jia Yun's calm look, Daiyu became even more anxious. Jia Yun's nonsense would only offend the royal family, and there would be no good fruit to eat. So Daiyu softly persuaded: "Brother Yun, don't

If you are making nonsense, please go back and explain clearly."

Jia Yun shook his head and said: "It's okay. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, Aunt Lin. This is related to the court situation. I don't need to pay attention to it. Anyway, you know that nothing will happen to your nephew."

After hearing what Jia Yun said about the court situation, Daiyu didn't say much. After all, this was not their daughter's business.

However, Daiyu was still a little worried in her heart and said, "Brother Yun, it's still inappropriate for you to do this. You'd better go there quickly."

Jia Yun looked at Daiyu with great interest and said earnestly: "Aunt Lin, this is not what you should be concerned about. My nephew said that he is ill and cannot have sex. Auntie should not worry about this.

?”

Daiyu immediately reacted when she heard this, her pretty face flushed, she tilted her head and spat: "What does it have to do with me."

Jia Yun was noncommittal and said with a smile: "This is about Aunt Lin's future happiness. How can it have nothing to do with Aunt Lin? What Auntie said is really hurtful."

"Bah, what are you doing in Hu Qin? Hurry up and leave. You are not welcome here." Daiyu raised her eyebrows and glared at Jia Yun.

Daiyu still knew a thing or two about whether Jia Yun was physically ill. After all, Qingwen and Xiangling had always been close to Daiyu, so after hearing a few words, they heard that Jia Yun was very ridiculous and not a serious person.

How could a person be physically ill? This was obviously Jia Yun deliberately teasing her.

Looking at Daiyu's slightly angry cheeks and her thin face filled with anger, she really had a different flavor. Jia Yun stood up and walked to Daiyu. Daiyu panicked, wrung her green silk handkerchief with both hands, and lowered her eyes nervously.

Said: "Brother Yun, what are you doing!!!"
