Draft
Under the thick night, a sharp cry suddenly towered into the clouds, breaking through the silence of the night, and also shattering the dark flowing clouds in the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info followed by a dull 3927 death knell in the cold and silent city, which was the specification and etiquette of the concubine Xianyou.
On the nineteenth day of the first month, Concubine Zhuang Ruigui contracted a violent illness and died suddenly in the Qiandong Hall of Shoukang Palace in the middle of the night.
The sudden death of Concubine Zhuang Ruigui has brought a lot of waves to the whole country, and everyone in the court is sighing, not wanting to Chinese New Year's Eve the distant view of the night phoenix platform is actually the last face of this life to see the immortal beauty......
Fortunately, the DPRK and China immediately followed another important matter, and the momentum of their discussion somewhat overshadowed the turmoil.
That was the first round of the draft in the Silent City after the new emperor ascended the throne.
As soon as the time for the draft of the round every three years arrives, the household department and the provincial government will submit the candidate women of appropriate age for the record. The date of each selection will be played by the household department, and the inventory will be prepared to prepare the date of the selection, and the selection will also be divided into the palace selection.
Therefore, this draft has actually been prepared for more than half a year. Because it is still vacant in the back position, the matter of the palace selection will be temporarily discussed and decided by the second concubine with the highest rank in the harem and Shan Ze Xiu.
In fact, in the past three or two months, there are indeed many people who have made great efforts to introduce this draft girl to Xianyue, hoping that they can bring two or three during the palace election. But regardless of the height of the family, Yan Thin and Fat, Xianyue did not respond, and now she has no desires, and she does not need to give such sweetness to make others serve her dogs and horses.
I don't want that the night before the palace election, Xianyue and Shuyun will both be invited by the eldest princess to go to the small seat of the Peicha House on the northwest side of Xiexin Lake.
Now that spring has not arrived, most of the vegetation in the tea dock has not yet sprouted, and this time it reflects the slightly bare piece in front of the blue waves on the lakeside, which makes people feel a little lonely. Li Qinghan, the personal female official who stood at the bottom of the white jade steps, stepped forward to open the door of the cabinet for the two, and then leaned over to lead the way, never wanting to salute the two from beginning to end.
Stepping into the inner room full of rose incense, I saw that Lin and Lin were dressed in a dark gold pearl embroidered peony brocade robe, with a silver fox shawl with a black pointed head around the collar, and the red diamond lips were bright and dripping, but they were leaning on the chaise longue in the cabinet with a casual posture.
"The night is heavy, and the two of you are tired of running for a trip. ”
Lin Helin played with the brightly colored red agate beads in his hand, and his lips were slightly raised, but there was no apology on his face.
Shuyun is an understanding person, and after taking the glass teacup served by the maid in the house, he didn't want to make any more detours and said bluntly, "I don't know why the eldest princess summoned me and Concubine Li Xian to come together so late?"
"Tomorrow is the first round of the draft after Ze Xiu ascended the throne, and it stands to reason that Lone should have gone as the eldest sister," Lone and Lin were talking, and they also pulled out the light green Fuliu Yunluo embroidered handkerchief from the wide sleeves and lightly covered their smiling lips, "But Lone doesn't want to talk about Lone's dictatorship inside and outside, and the eldest princess named Protector is actually the Night Emperor, don't you two say?"
The name of the princess is actually the Night Emperor......
Xianyue raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that Lin and Lin would say such disrespectful words so lightly in front of herself and Shuyun!
Shu Yun also faintly held back his anger in his heart, and said aloud as usual, "I don't know what the eldest princess thinks?"
Lonely knew that the two younger siblings were also smart people, so they no longer spared the bend. In this draft, Lonely Heart is very fond of the two show girls. One is Huanmei, the eldest daughter of the Qingqu family of Dali Temple, and the other is Jingshu, the youngest daughter of Ningyuan's general Qiao's mansion. These two girls are both first-class qualifications, and their temperaments are also very tame, and they will ask the two younger siblings to help them a lot. ”
The night breeze swept the plum blossoms, and suddenly patches of bright red plum petals poured in from the half-open window, floating in a corner of the house. Shuyun didn't want this silence and Lin to be so direct as soon as she opened her mouth, so she almost subconsciously looked at Xianyue beside her, but saw that Xianyue's eyes were still clear, as elegant and quiet as before.
But after a while, Xianyue raised her head indifferently and responded, "The concubine remembers." ”
"Concubine Li Xian is really a treasure of words, but as long as the meaning of loneliness is reached, it is enough. Lin and Lin waved their sleeves, and suddenly stood up with a majestic face and said, "Everyone in the world knows that you are in the royal family, and as a concubine, there is nothing more important than spreading the branches. The two younger siblings have been serving Ze Xiu for a long time, and they should understand the reason for Lone's words!"
Xianyue's heart tightened. In the past, she had only been arrogant and willful and domineering as the eldest princess, but in today's situation, she seems to think a little more than herself......
In the blink of an eye, it was noon on the second day, which countless people were looking forward to.
Outside the Hall of Light, a red and willow green, beautiful and beautiful figure stood quietly, they were divided into a class of nine people, standing with a handkerchief, waiting to be announced into the hall to read in person.
Seeing that some of the show girls outside at this time looked indifferent and calm, some were holding their breath and were very nervous, and even their hands and feet were weak, and they looked up and glanced at them.
At this moment, Shan Zexiu was wearing a formal crown dragon robe, and he was sitting proudly in the red gold dragon chair in the nine-story platform in the center of the Guangming Palace, and sitting beside him were naturally Xianyue and Shuyun. Xianyue today is wearing a royal blue moire embroidered begonia auspicious dress with gold and silver double filament, wearing a nine-layer lotus gold crown that symbolizes the position of the virtuous concubine with a phoenix inlaid with night pearls, and three circles of agate beeswax pearls on her neck, with a graceful and elegant demeanor.
Xianyue's hands hidden in his sleeves played with the jeweled tortoiseshell armor he wore in his little finger, and looked at the well-dressed pretty faces not far away from the high platform, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his heart for no reason.
Thinking that in the future, they would be favored by Lone Zexiu one by one, touching his hair, skin, eyebrows, and eyes, and sleeping with him or even having children, Xianyue's heart ignited a nameless fire, burning his heart inexplicably. It is true that she did not dare to confide her thoughts with anyone, but it was clear to her heart that she had not wanted to share it with anyone from the beginning......
Jiang Kaiming, the great eunuch waiting outside the hall, unhurriedly unfolded the gilded book in his hand at this moment.
"The auspicious time has arrived, the palace election has officially begun, and all the beautiful girls are approaching, waiting for Your Majesty and Niangniang to choose!"
Then the roll call began.
"The daughter of Liu Yunhe, the general doctor of the fourth grade, Liu Xiangyi. ”
"The daughter of General Meng Qingming from Sanpin to Germany, Meng Zixiang. ”
"The daughter of Jiang Zhenghao, Jiang Zhilan. ”
……
"From the daughter of Qu Mushi of Sanpin Dali Temple, Qu Huanmei. ”
It wasn't until she heard this name that Xianyue, who had been thinking a little deeply, looked at it intently, and saw a show girl wearing a pale yellow cloud smoke and snow silk pleated skirt, her hair combed with smoke and hibiscus buns, and her plump body came out of the queue slowly, and then entered the inner hall, bowed down to Yingying on the high platform, and said in a decent manner, "The courtiers greet Your Majesty, meet Concubine Lixian, and meet Concubine Rong." ”
"Look up. ”
Silence Xiu's tone was still indifferent.
The woman in the audience slowly raised her head when she heard this, and saw that she was born with a delicate face, eyebrows and eyes with spring, her skin was as delicate as warm jade, and her soft light was greasy, and she was indeed a faceless flower and jade.
Shu Yun's gaze swept away from Xiu Nu, turned sideways, and smiled at Shan Ze Xiuqiao, "Your Majesty, this girl's voice is very tactful, and her birth is indeed very moving, compared to the previous ones, but it is even better!"
Silent Ze Xiusheng glanced lightly at Shuyun, who was dressed in heavy makeup and had starry eyes with slight disgust, "Then let's leave the brand." ”
So the joy of this successful selected show girl was beyond words.
"The courtiers have thanked Your Majesty and the two mothers. ”
……
I don't want to go down in the past few hours, a total of ninety-nine show girls have only been canonized, and only a few people have been canonized. But the two people entrusted by Lin and Lin last night are naturally contained in it.
Yan Jingzhi, the daughter of the governor of the third grade, was canonized as a successor from the fifth grade, given the title of Yan, and lived in the Yingxin Hall of Yunchi Palace.
Qu Huanmei, the daughter of Sanpin Dali Temple, canonized as a good woman from Wupin, gave the title Mu, and lived in the Ronghui Palace Guanmiaolou.
Meng Zixiang, the daughter of the general from the third grade, was canonized as a small instrument from the fifth grade, given the title of Chun, and lived in the Liyin Palace Listening Oriole Pavilion.
Qiao Jingshu, the daughter of General Ningyuan of Wupin, was canonized as a noble person of the sixth grade and lived in the Jingxiang Pavilion of Ronghui Palace.
Yang Qingying, the daughter of the five-pin prince washing horses, was canonized as a talented person from the sixth-grade and lived in the Wutong Palace Caisang Building.
Chen Shao, the daughter of the assistant teacher of the six-pin country, was canonized as the seven-pin lady and lived in the Yurong Pavilion of the Wuxuan Palace.
Xue Xijun, the daughter of the seven-rank ordnance supervisor, was canonized as the seven-rank Chang and lived in the Mingcui Pavilion of Yunchi Palace.
Deng Qing, the daughter of the seventh grade Shangfu Division, was canonized as a servant selected from the seventh grade and lived in Yifang Hall of Wutong Palace.
As soon as today passes, these eight lucky or unfortunate women will become the envy of the palace concubines, bid farewell to the time of the boudoir, bid farewell to their parents and clansmen, and devote their young and brilliant lives to the cold and lonely city at the top of the imperial power. Although at the beginning, their status will not be too high, but in the future, there will be a long time, allowing them to chase and climb to their heart's content, and bloom their gorgeous and destined life to the extreme......
