Forty-second year of Kangxi, July.

The draft girl once every three years kicked off again, because the purpose of the draft girl is mainly to enrich the inner court or marry the prince's sons and grandchildren, covering all the princes and nobles, so at this time the entire Forbidden City will become extremely lively.

When there are more marriageable princes and elder brothers and children of the clan, there are naturally more people moving around, after all, the court and the backyard are said to be irrelevant, but in fact, they are inextricably linked. In order to ensure that their respective interests can be continued, the draft seems to be in charge, but there is also a certain room for operation.

As the draft progressed, the operations inside and outside the palace became more and more frequent, and the show girls and the people of their respective families became more and more anxious because of the upcoming results.

The steps of the draft seem to be many, but in fact it is quite mind-consuming, and after the selection, the selection is replaced by the queen mother, the emperor and the concubines, and the speed has become slow from the beginning of the house, and the show girls who stay in the arranged residence in the palace, in the face of opponents and the upcoming fate, the original mind of just comparing each other has also changed its taste.

At this time, several show girls gathered together, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but it was not difficult to see from their actions and words that their ideas were not good.

In the room, Wu Xiuning's willow eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the whole person was curled up on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, as if he was not sleeping peacefully.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, and the door made a slight noise because of her movements, not big but very clear, and then I saw several show girls who had gathered together before walking in one after another.

"Are we really going to do this? If she makes a fuss, we won't be able to get a good fruit to eat. ”

"It's better to have no good fruit to eat than to watch her fly up the branches and trample us under our feet. ”

"Forget it, just as I didn't say anything. ”

"Okay, don't make any more noise, it's okay to take care of the top and bottom, anyone in this courtyard who is a little ambitious won't open her mouth even if she knows, so in the end, she is just a dumb person eating yellow lotus, what are you worried about!"

"I know, who doesn't know in his heart, what to urge!"

A few show girls, although some people hesitate in the words, but when it comes to their own interests, the so-called fear and hesitation are thrown out of the clouds in an instant.

The show girls lightly surrounded Wu Xiuning who was lying on the bed, their eyes touched her delicate flower-like face, and a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes unconsciously.

The draft girls are not only not only the show girls themselves, but also the families behind them and the current situation, combined with various reasons, this fate is naturally different, and there are only a few who can face it calmly, and in order to change their fate, anyone who is a little ambitious will find a way to seize the opportunity, even if this opportunity is obtained through calculation and framing others.

The opportunity to reach the sky in one step is not something that everyone can have, but it is something that everyone wants.

When Wu Xiuning woke up in a daze, she only felt dizzy, and the moment she looked up, she saw someone standing on the edge of the bed and was holding something to splash at her, Wu Xiuning's somewhat dizzy head woke up instantly, she didn't have time to think about it at all, her hands groped slightly, and when she touched the pillow behind her head, she couldn't help but pick it up and wave it with all her might.

The whole person fell on the couch because she was too hard, and a large basin of ice water did not pounce on her, but splashed in the opposite direction to those show girls, causing the screams in the room to stop for a while. The piercing scream made her dazed brain wake up instantly, and she looked at the show girls who were screaming like grasshoppers and jumping to clean up the water stains on their bodies, no longer hesitated, grabbed the pillow in her hand, got up and hit the show girls violently.

It is said that the master was killed by fisting, but Wu Xiu at this time did not dare to leave his hand at all, and hit several pampered show girls screaming.

Perhaps none of them thought that Wu Xiuning, who was unwell, would suddenly resist angrily at the moment they started, or maybe they were so frightened by this sudden change that they forgot to resist.

Wu Xiuning gasped and looked at the simple and regular layout of the room, and then looked at these show girls who were beaten and scattered by her, and those long-term memories in her mind slowly surfaced in front of her.

Familiar setting, unfamiliar but with a hint of familiarity...... Wait, she's still in the palace, but she's in the draft!

Wu Xiuning looked down at her hands, and no longer remembered the terrifying appearance of the green muscles, slender and slender but plump and white, then this should be the forty-second year of Kangxi, when everything began, and she really came back!

The show girls who dispersed in a hurry did not go too far, after all, their residence had been arranged in the palace a long time ago, except for here, there were other places they could go to during the draft. Seeing that Wu Xiuning didn't catch up, they breathed a sigh of relief and slowly surrounded them again, but they didn't dare to step forward easily, there were a few show girls covered in water, probably afraid of getting sick and had gone back to the house to change clothes, after all, those who could get this far were all ambitious and wanted to get a good result.

Their original intention of harming others was to make their own path wider, and now that an accident endangers themselves, the first thing they think of is naturally how to minimize their own harm, instead of resigning themselves to fate like those show girls who were sent out of the palace due to 'illness'.

"That...... Everything just now was just a joke, just a joke with you, yes, just a joke. The show girl closest to the door looked at Wu Xiuning, who was standing motionless, and explained with a frightened face.

Wu Xiuning looked at the show girl at the front, looked at the horror on her face, and listened to her slightly aggrieved justification, her eyes were red.

is this person, in order to have more opportunities for his own draft, regardless of the feelings of the same room, secretly joined other show girls to splash her with ice water, which caused her to have a high fever in the middle of the night, if she hadn't used the jade bracelet in her hand to buy the housekeeper in time, she might have been sent out of the palace that night.

After the draft, although she was assigned to marry Sibeile Yinzhen, she will never forget the consequences caused by this unwarranted disaster.

A serious illness after entering the palace allowed the pretending virtuous Wulanala clan to take the opportunity to gain her trust, and at the same time, she was completely disqualified from being a mother during her recuperation...... Everything was like an abyss that could not be seen, and no matter how much she struggled, she could only keep sinking.

She tried her best to correct her attitude and live her life seriously, but she couldn't resist the greed of those people by all means, and in the end she could only be trapped in the Chuxiu Palace like a cage, hovering on the edge of life and death several times according to the wishes of others, until others could no longer tolerate her existence, and then died desolate on that snowy day of hunger and cold.

"A joke, play around with me!"

The show girl at the door couldn't see the look on Wu Xiuning's face, and said with a wry expression: "Yes, it's just a joke, it really doesn't mean anything else." ”

"Nothing else means to splash people with ice water, and nothing else means to let others be stepping stones under your feet?"

"If you want a bright future, glory and wealth, should you trade other people's lives?"

"If you don't count other people's lives today, and tomorrow others will not count your lives properly, saying that heaven is clear and retribution is unpleasant, so you should open your eyes and see what kind of fate you will have in the future!"

Wu Xiuning's words became more and more gloomy and fierce, and the show girl at the door hung her head and said nothing, but after all, not everyone can be ashamed, those thorns who are unwilling to bow their heads still want to refute, but before they can speak, they touch Wu Xiuning's eyes.

What kind of eyes were they, cold and full of resentment, like evil spirits crawling out of hell, full of hatred, as if they would pounce on them and tear them to pieces at any moment.

No one dared to step forward again, and no one wanted to be the first victim in Wu Xiuning's hands at this time.

Wu Xiuning saw that these people were frightened, she couldn't help but clench the deformed pillow in her hand, leaned against the wall and sat on the bed, there was a thin layer of sweat on her white forehead, she could feel the powerlessness from her body, but she still stubbornly pursed her red lips, blinked the tears in her eyes, and stared at the door coldly, obviously she didn't believe that those people would give up easily.
