In the ninth year of the Great Xuan, the draft order was announced to the world, only because the heirs of Emperor Wu were not abundant after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, and the Queen Mother was worried. In order to enrich the harem for the emperor to select gentle and graceful women and extend the heirs.

The draft is of great significance to the women of the official family, which can't help but be related to their own gains and losses, but also about the glory of the family behind them, so the women of each family are not preparing a few years earlier, hoping to be selected and become the person on that person.

It's just that the harem has become the favorite of the women, and what they think in their hearts is not known.

The side hall of Huaqing Palace

"Little master, did the jade nobles come to make you angry again, how can this be good, the emperor hasn't come to us for a few months, and the little lord doesn't know who to complain to. As she spoke, Nanxi wiped the tables, chairs, and utensils in the room with a rag. The servants in the palace are all watching the dishes, and seeing that the little master is not favored, he never finds anyone when he is working, so he has to do it himself.

"So what, she is a favored and titled nobleman, I'm just a beauty who is not favored, how can I compare?" The woman sitting looked elegant and beautiful, her eyes were slightly red, and her face looked very pale.

"By the way, what news can I send from the house?" asked Pei Meiren,

"Back to the little master, the lord sent someone to send a message saying that someone had been sent, but the originally set Heying girl was replaced by the third girl Heluo, saying that it was because the Heying girl was bad and could not be sent to the palace again. Nanxi's tone was a little timid, and his words were very hesitant.

"What did you say?" Pei Meiren stood up, her sleeves waving off the teacup on the small table beside her. The voice was sharp and angry. "How did I become Heluo, doesn't my father know my condition now, what's the use of finding such a waste to come in, there is no color, no knowledge, and my health is not good. Is this helping me, isn't it causing trouble for me?"

Nanxi saw that Pei Meiren was angry, and quickly knelt on the ground, although she was the maid who followed Pei Heyu out of the house, but because of this, she knew the eldest girl's temperament very well, she was gentle and understanding in front of people, but she was tyrannical and tight to them.

So he replied tremblingly: "The master said that there is no one in the house now, and it is better to rest assured that you are at ease than to go outside to find someone to cultivate." Besides, although the third girl is a little cowardly, she is very well-behaved and obedient, and it is convenient for the little master to use it. ”

Pei Meiren looked at Nanxi who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but be angry: "What are you shaking, it looks an eyesore." Thinking that there was no way to do it now, I had to admit it, and as my father said, it was good that this Heluo could be pinched in his hand. At that time, the support of Heying was nothing more than because Heying was clever, but clever people have a lot of eyes in the end, and if they raise their hearts, they will have to think hard.

He said to Nanxi again: "It won't take long for the draft, that girl can enter Beijing now?" Where do you live, you write back to the house and ask them to pay attention, don't let her be too shabby, otherwise even if I exert my strength inside, I will be ruined in these small things, don't blame me." ”

Nanxi naturally should be.

On the third day of the third lunar month of the ninth year of Emperor Xuanwu, the auspicious day of the zodiac calculated by Qingtian. The date of this year's draft is set for today. The Qingpeng carriage that Heluo was sitting in was lined up in the carriage of the show girls, and the whole team was very quiet, and the quiet atmosphere was a little solemn.

Heluo and Tinglan were alone in the carriage, leaning on the wall of the carriage without speaking, and naturally they were a little nervous in their hearts.

Since he came to the capital, he naturally followed Master Pei's instructions and lived in the Pei family's second room house in the capital. Because Mama Zhou had to take care of the beauty square and was old, she was left in Suzhou. Heluo only brought Tinglan a maidservant, and she looked very cold. Naturally, he couldn't get the care of Pei's family, and he couldn't even do the basic perfunctory, so he only arranged a small courtyard to live in, and the rest was just to send some food.

Heluo lives alone, and no one cares about her, and the draft is approaching, so she simply doesn't pretend to be ugly, and goes into the space every day to take care of flowers, plants, fruits and trees.

At first, Tinglan was shocked, because she was getting older, although she was still young in the end, her facial features were a little open. The complexion is like jade, the eyes are big cat pupils, and the lips are like kapok petals. In addition, because of the exotic style of the Tianlan people in the facial features, the eye waves flowed, which shocked Tianlan, who was also a girl, and no one took care of her, so Heluo didn't need to disguise, and she often looked a little weird. To make Tinglan feel that her girl is like the white cat raised by the old lady of the Pei family, it seems very strange to say that it is called a Persian cat. It's just that I naturally don't dare to tell the girl, but I feel that the more I look at it, the more it looks like it, especially when the girl is lazy, rubbing on the recliner.

Because after coming to the capital, Tinglan has also seen other young ladies from official families come to Pei Mansion as guests, but they have never seen such a girl like their own girl, so they naturally understand that their own girl is born well. It's just that the girl doesn't care about everything, and thinks she doesn't want to be chosen.

Who knew that Heluo knew her thoughts and said to her: "Not only do I have to be chosen, but I must be chosen." Since she knew Master Pei's true attitude towards herself, Heluo knew that the draft was really her only way out.

"Please get out of the car, wait quietly outside the Xuanwu Gate, and don't make noise. The voice of an old woman came from outside the carriage, and Heluo quickly straightened her dress and got out of the car.

Looking around, there were all fat and thin show girls wearing various dresses, and Heluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In this era, as long as it is an official girl, anyone who is under the age of 17 must participate in the draft every three years. It is difficult for a civilian woman to run for election. It is also impossible for the woman who has been recorded by the household department to escape, otherwise it will affect the family.

Originally, there was a process before the palace election, which in layman's terms was the so-called naked inspection. This kind of inspection is very embarrassing, and even Heluo is a little unacceptable to wear it like this. It's just that the imperial power is supreme, who cares about your face. This naked inspection is embarrassing, but it is extremely strict. During the medical examination, each procedure is very careful. Show girls need to be good-looking, have a good figure, and not tolerate the slightest flaw in physiology, even if there is a small black mole on the skin, it will be eliminated.

During the examination, the executive grandmother first asked the show girls* to walk and then asked them to lift their hair to expose the roots of their ears. Next, Mama will touch the body of each show girl and check the symmetry of □□. Next, I examined the navel, □□, and □□ of the show girls, and confirmed that they were virgins and had no hemorrhoids. Finally, the voices of the show girls were checked and asked to shout "Emperor Wannian" to check the vocal cords.

Of course, when the inspection made Heluo feel very embarrassed, but a small avoidance would make Mama stern, so she had to give up. Of course, Heluo's skin that was raised by the space spring water was not flawed, and there were no pores. The touch of sucking hands, coupled with the cold fragrance on the body, even the grandmothers who have seen so many show girls are full of praise.

After returning to Shenheluo, they looked at the palace road, because there were still carriages entering one after another, and the grandmother in the palace did not let them line up. The show girls outside the door just stood scattered, and some acquaintances began to talk to each other in a whisper. There are also some who constantly check the makeup and dress jewelry on their faces.

Heluo naturally didn't recognize these famous girls, so he had to stand alone and look left and right curiously. It is precisely because of her young age that she has set herself a slightly naïve route for being delicate, but she is a concubine at home, she is deep and scheming, and it is possible to be cowardly and hypocritical, but it is impossible to be coquettish with some innocence, so she has to be cowardly and inferior first.

It's just that I'm young, isn't it? I've grown up in the temple for two years, and it's still the two most important years for a girl. If there is no one to suppress it in the palace, it makes sense that his nature will be slowly revealed, and if he is young, if he is cultivated according to the requirements of the emperor, how to say that he will definitely be different in his heart at that time.

Heluo herself is thinking very well now, but she doesn't know that in a while, all her plans will be in vain.

Today, Heluo is wearing a goose yellow tunic skirt, covered with a light yarn, and the material can only be said to be average, but the style is still new. Only a slight amount of fat powder was applied to the face, and some dark eyeshadow was applied to deepen the contour, and then the eyeliner was outlined to make a pair of cat pupils even deeper like a deep pool. There was only a crystal hairpin on his head, and there were some transparent tassels next to it, which were a little transparent against the girl's jade-like skin. The milky white belt is tied between the ribs, showing the girl's somewhat choppy breasts, but with a beautiful but somewhat immature face, it has some modern so-called childish □□ feeling. I tied a few silver smoked balls around my waist, and the jingle was very cute. This is already the first time she has dressed herself in the past few years, because in order to avoid trouble in the house before, it was just cloth clothes and skirts.

Not wanting to attract attention, Heluo tried to stand in the shadow under the tree as much as possible. Unexpectedly, someone still bumped into her.

"Oops," the girl who bumped into Heluo exclaimed, and apologized repeatedly. Heluoguan This girl has beautiful facial features, but she is a little gorgeous, and she looks older than her age. The face is pure and innocent, and the slightly contradictory combination makes this girl attractive. The clothes are well dressed, and the clothes are shiny and floating, sometimes with patterns and sometimes without. On the head, there are eight treasure glazed hairpins and a few thumb-sized east pearls, which ordinary people can't see.

"Sister is okay," Heluo hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her,

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all my fault, I inadvertently bumped into you, but I should have said I'm sorry. The girl's voice was very pleasant, and she kept lowering her head to check her clothes, and when she raised her head, she was shocked when she saw Heluo. His appearance has been counted in this capital, but he didn't expect that the one in front of him is even better. It's just that although the clothes on the body are new, they are the materials that most clothing shops have, and they look very ordinary. It's just Er'er who swept away the jewelry at a glance, and even his own first-class girl was a little inferior. It's just this look.

The girl's thoughts were fast, but she was stunned for a moment, and she immediately became blessed and said: "My sister looked at her eyes, and I don't know which family's show girl my sister's surname is." ”

Heluo was stunned, this woman was really polite, as soon as she came up, she probed her background, she must be a very confident person. So he made a look of hesitation and cowardice, and replied in a very small voice: "My surname is Pei, and my father is Pei Shizhong, the assassin of Suzhou." After a pause, he blessed his body again: "My sister is fine." ”

"Pei Shizhong, Pei Meiren in the palace is such a surname, why is there another daughter of the Pei family. "There was a lot of skepticism between the words.

"Back to my sister, I am the third daughter in the family, and my identity is not as valuable as my eldest sister Pei Meiren. The sound is like a mosquito moaning, but you can hear the inferiority complex.

"Oh, I see, I blamed my sister for it, and I thought my sister was reporting the wrong origin. "The girl's words are very crisp, and a little coquettish, so that she does not despise them, and does not annoy people. It's just that I don't know if it's really delicate or fake cool, Heluo didn't dare to take it lightly, so he had to blindly show weakness, but his own identity is really not very good.

Although Heluo is a little speech, but this girl is very familiar, during the conversation, Heluo knew that this girl was the second daughter of the secretary of the court, and her name was Shen Qingru. The Zhongshu Ling is the second grade of the dynasty, and it is impossible for people who are not valued today. Such a valuable identity naturally has confidence, although Master Pei is a third-grade person, he is not a Beijing official, so naturally he cannot be compared.

"Sister Qingru, you are also here. Hearing only a cry of surprise, a girl in pink walked towards them quickly, glanced at the clothes that swept over her, and lingered on her face for a while, then stopped talking to Shen Qingru.

This girl is very talkative and has a lot of news. Heluo listened quietly, only to know that the draft water was so deep this time. Even Emperor Wu's cousin, the eldest princess's eldest daughter, Lord Mingle, is here, of course, people are predetermined, different from ordinary people. Although his cousin has been cannon fodder since ancient times, it is just such a valuable identity, and Heluo said that it cannot be compared. Even this pink-clothed woman with paparazzi potential is Ji Yulian, the second girl of the Qi State Mansion.

"Sister Qingru, look, why is that person here. It's not fun. Ji Yulian's eyes glanced at the corner of the crowd, "No wonder I want to retire from my second brother's family affairs alive and dead, it turns out that people don't look down on my Qi State Mansion, and they want to come here to enjoy the wealth of the heavenly family, isn't it just that they shed tears from time to time, so that my second brother can't forget it now." Ji Yulian said viciously.

"Lian'er can't lie, her uncle is now being reused by the emperor, you just don't see it. Shen Qingru hurriedly persuaded.

Heluo looked at it with his eyes and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Nima finally saw the legendary White Lotus, a girl dressed in a white dress with only some lilies embroidered on the corners. The eyebrows, eyes and eyebrows are clear and beautiful, but the sickly state in front of the eyebrows makes them look pitiful. It's really "two bends that seem to be frowning and not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy." "It's just a little less colorful than Sister Lin.
