As soon as the position of the crown prince and concubine became vacant, all the officials in the court naturally made small calculations.

The Shang Palace Bureau sent people to inspect the young ladies from various families, and finally compiled a list, which was also painted by a painter and presented to Queen Xie for her to slowly choose.

Queen Xie didn't have any ideas, so she asked Ye Chengyan to pick out a few girls who were close to her. Then she prepared a flower-viewing banquet and invited the chosen girls to the palace.

Even Nan Li received the post from the palace.

The post was sent by Xie Beihan himself. Nanli used to be the sixth lady of the Anyang Marquis Mansion. For the sake of the Marquis Mansion and the family, she had to go and disgraced the Queen.

But now that she is the ninth princess, she can rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade, so she can directly refuse some banquets that she does not want to go to.

"I don't want to go." Nan Li said.

"No, my aunt just wants you to come over and take a look at the faces of the noble girls from each family." Xie Beihan blinked with a look of pleading.

It’s no wonder that Queen Xie valued her so much. She had invited Nan Li to look at Rong Dongling’s face before. Who knew that something was wrong? That’s why Queen Xie let Nan Li enter the palace again to take a look at the ladies.

their faces, and then check their horoscopes.

Although it is like picking out goods, the chosen one is the future mother of the country, so naturally everything should be done cautiously and not carelessly.

Nan Li was setting up a magic circle to nourish Xu's soul, without looking up at Xie Beihan.

She said: "It costs a hundred taels of silver to ask me to look at a person's face and combine their horoscopes. Now you want me to look at the faces of so many noble ladies. How do you calculate this business?"

Xie Beihan knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Easy to talk about, one hundred taels apiece, how about it?"

Nan Li thought about it and realized that it was not too much of a disadvantage, so she agreed.

Xie Beihan left Prince Yu's Mansion happily, and the news spread.

Who among the selected ladies would not want to come out on top and become the crown princess, but the key to the selection lies in Nan Li.

The next day, there was a servant from Wuyang Hou Mansion who had been waiting for a long time in Fu very Lingguang. He said that there was an evil spirit causing trouble in his house and he wanted to invite the Ninth Princess to come and get rid of the evil spirit.

Seeing the anxious look on the boy's face, Zhimi led the people to the inner hall.

Nan Li glanced at him, her face a little colder: "There are no evil spirits in your house, so your master doesn't have to scare himself."

The boy hurriedly said: "The Ninth Princess is indeed very skilled in Taoism. I admire her very much. This is my Lord's filial piety to the Ninth Princess. I ask the Ninth Princess not to dislike her."

He brought a small box and placed it on the desk. It was obvious that he spent some effort on it.

Open it, and there is a golden gold ingot inside.

Zhimi's eyes widened: "Didn't my senior sister tell you that there are no evil spirits in your house? Why don't you give me gold?"

Nanli frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

The boy said: "The younger one is from the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. The eldest lady in the mansion will go to the palace to attend the flower viewing banquet in a few days. The Marquis just wants to ask the Ninth Princess to help and say a few kind words."

He lowered his voice and was flattering.

I heard that the Ninth Princess had to pay for catching ghosts and drawing talismans. I guess she is a money addict. With so much gold, are you afraid that she won't be able to bribe her?

Nan Li smiled angrily, never expecting that one day she would be bribed like this.

She glanced at the gold ingots in the box and said helplessly: "I do like silver and gold, but it shouldn't be mine. I will never want it."

"As long as the Ninth Princess is willing to help with this, this is what you deserve." The boy hurriedly advised, "If the number does not match, the Marquis can double it again until the Ninth Princess is satisfied."

"You just said that you are from the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, right?" Nan Li raised an eyebrow.

The boy was secretly happy and nodded hurriedly: "That's right."

"Don't let your young lady prepare. I will inform the queen so that she does not need to invite your eldest lady to attend the palace banquet." Nan Li said.

The boy's smile was stiff and he was stunned on the spot.

"What does this mean, Ninth Princess?"

"That's what it means literally." Nan Li's sharp eyes narrowed, making the boy tremble all over.

The boy didn't expect that this would be self-defeating, but there were two black-armored guards outside the door. He didn't dare to make a mistake, closed the box, hugged it and left in a hurry.

When Nan Li saw people leaving the inner hall, he stretched himself and murmured: "You can make money like this from this job. It's a great experience."

Zhimi said: "It seems that every family has tried their best. Do you really want to tell the empress that the eldest lady of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion is not allowed to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet?"

He didn't think his senior sister had done anything wrong, but he was afraid that he would make enemies and suffer retaliation in the future.

Nan Li winked at him and smiled: "I won't talk too much, lest I ruin someone's future and ruin other people's opportunities."

Zhimi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

However, if there is one, then there are two. Later, several family members came to find him, either falsely reporting that their home was not safe, or sending them messages, all wanting to see Nan Li.

What's more, someone approached Xiao Wanyi or her brothers, but they all knew Nan Li's character and refused immediately.

None of them told Nan Li about this, so as not to cause her troubles.

Even if others hold grudges, how can they dare to cause trouble to Anyang Hou Mansion?

The people in Wuyanghou Mansion were anxious and uneasy. After waiting for a few days, there was no sound from the palace, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite this, Marquis Wuyang did not intend to settle down.

In the past, Wuyang Marquis Mansion and Anyang Marquis Mansion were equally matched.

But later, Chu Hanlin was successful in military training, and his eldest son was also very capable. His second son was good at business, his third son was the top scholar in high school, and his remaining two sons were also good at literature and martial arts.

Not to mention that Miss Six, who had just returned, was proficient in Taoism, saved people from danger several times, and led her family to meritorious service and promotion. Not to mention that she later married the Ninth Prince and became the royal wife.

Nowadays, the Anyang Marquis Mansion has already surpassed the rest of the world, leaving the Wuyang Marquis Mansion behind.

Wu Yanghou has always compared himself with Chu Hanlin. Seeing such a situation, how could he endure it.

His sons are not talented, but only one daughter is dignified and beautiful. Now that Rong Dongling has been demoted to the side concubine, the position of the crown prince's concubine has been vacated. How could he let go of this opportunity!

Nan Li couldn't get through, so he sent people to make secret visits, and finally invited a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest, whose name is Tiancheng, has no sect, and he doesn't have much serious ability to catch ghosts and eliminate monsters, but he is very good at the heretical practice of changing people's faces.

When Marquis Wuyang saw his sly eyebrows, he also had a hint of distrust: "Can the Taoist priest really change my daughter's appearance? Make her body emit purple energy?"

"Of course." Tian Cheng stroked his beard, feeling confident and comfortable.

"You must have heard of the Ninth Princess, right? This woman is proficient in Taoist magic, and the Queen even invited her to sit in charge. Can the magic you cast be hidden from her eyes?" Wu Yanghou asked.

"How can a little girl really be proficient in Taoist magic? The previous rescues were probably by chance." Tian Cheng snorted with some disdain, "Pindao's magic has never gone wrong, Hou.
