As soon as she entered Beijing with her father, she caught up with the imperial court to draft for the emperor, and she happily signed up.

The lord of Yuanyue is the daughter of King Dongjing, Guo Wenying was very involved in the Southeast Salt case by King Beijing, but later the evidence was insufficient, and she was hurriedly arrested by the emperor and returned to the capital, so that she did not investigate the matter in detail, and it can be regarded as letting King Dongguan go.

This county lord has always been high-profile, and after entering Beijing, he held various poetry and flower parties, and made friends with upper-class nobles everywhere, which was very popular, and this time he entered the palace with the purpose of being selected as the imperial concubine. The royal family of the Southern Qi Dynasty has always had foreign blood, unlike the authentic Han people, and they do not attach much importance to ethics, although they have the same surname and the same foot, they can also marry.

What's more, King Dong Jing is only the emperor's cousin, and this Yuanyue County Lord is just a cousin, so the relationship is not so close. It is not difficult for her to enter the palace to run for election, she only needs to report to the Ministry of Rites and hand over the Geng post.

Because of her identity as the county lord, she seems to have become the highest status among the show girls in this year, although Du Yue'er, the youngest daughter of Princess Haoyue, is also among the candidates, but she does not have the title of county lord, but it is not as good as this real county lord scenery.

However, this year, it is very strange that the reading that should have been held in the Imperial Garden, Tiyuan Palace, Jingyixuan and other places in the palace was held in the Taimiao instead.

Early in the morning, Jiang Yuyan put on a lot of makeup, and sat down under the support of two maids, and behind her stood two young girls, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a silk robe, slim and elegant, and the younger one was only thirteen or fourteen years old, full of childishness, a pair of big eyes peeked upward, and quickly lowered it, turning around.

These two are also the show girls who participated in this election, and they were selected by the Queen Mother from her mother's relatives and asked her to take care of them. It's just that Jiang Yuyan has never been tolerant in her eyes, and she doesn't have a good face for these two girls.

As soon as she stood still, the show girls who were standing on the side knelt down in unison and shouted: "See Concubine Niangniang, may Niangniang's phoenix body be healthy, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Jiang Yuyan waved her hand, looking at the solemn and solemn Taimiao in front of her, and her heart was extremely unhappy. She didn't like this kind of place in the first place, but who called her the operator of this draft. She is the only concubine in the emperor's harem, and she can only preside over it in any way.

As early as a few days ago, the Queen Mother told her that this draft made her have to cheer up and see if there was anything greasy in it. And let her be sure to choose a few intimate welcome into the palace, so that it is easy to control.

Although Jiang Yuyan is usually not very smart, she is not a fool, she understands in her heart that this is the queen mother's plan to abandon her, what to say about the intimate control, it is definitely not controlled by her, when the newcomer enters the palace, he will avoid her grace. Originally, the emperor didn't want to see her, if even the queen mother couldn't rely on her, where would she be able to mix in the palace?

I panicked in my heart, and seeing these beauties was as disgusting as chewing a fly. So all the way to the ceremony, I didn't see the slightest smile on her face.

These young ladies to be selected worshiped the imperial temple outside the main hall and bowed three times and bowed nine times. According to the rules of the Southern Qi Dynasty, non-queens of the main palace are not allowed to enter the temple to worship, these people are not even counted as concubines in the palace, and it is impossible to enter the temple, and they can only kowtow outside the palace.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't get in, looking at the closed palace door, she felt even more uncomfortable, she didn't want to be the queen anymore, but why did she just ask Guo Wenying to do it? If she entered the palace, would she have her good fruit to eat?

I couldn't do it in my heart, and for a while I thought that the Queen Mother would choose a few powerful ones to enter the palace, and find some trouble for Guo Wenying, and I was unwilling to be at the mercy of others for a while. All kinds of mentalities were mixed up one by one, so that even the voice of the master of ceremonies was not heard.

The maid next to her reminded in a low voice, "Niangniang, it's time to touch Ding next." ”

Jiang Yuyan nodded and ordered someone to lift Da Ding up.

This big tripod is called Wanshou Qianhe Ding, the legend is the ancient god Ding, it is used to guard the temple when the country was founded, it is said that there is the protection of the gods, it is very magical.

God doesn't know, but it's quite big.

Looking at that Da Ding, Jiang Yuyan felt that today's matter was not so simple, and as early as two days ago, Feng Jingting called her to her.

Who is the emperor? Usually nothing will look for her, she is excited and apprehensive in her heart, and after saluting, the emperor actually smiled at her with a pleasant face. The smile went from the mouth to the back of the head, and it looked a little cautious.

She said uneasily: "I don't know what happened to the emperor's concubines?"

Feng Jingting smiled and helped her up, "The draft in two days will be presided over by Concubine Ai, and Concubine Ai must do her best." ”

Jiang Yuyan's hair was tingling with laughter from him, and she smiled falsely: "If the emperor has anything to order, the concubines must do their best." ”

She is not a fool, what is the emperor's usual attitude towards her, and what is his attitude towards her now? Can that be for no reason?

Feng Jingting squinted at her, this virtuous concubine has learned more thoroughly in the palace for a few years, and it doesn't seem that she is so stupid. He simply said directly: "Since Concubine Xian is so accessible, I have simply made it clear that the draft will be held in the Imperial Temple, and Concubine Xian only needs to cover her ears, cover her eyes tightly, and don't look or listen." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Please don't forget Concubine Xian, who is the master of the Southern Qi Imperial Court." ”

Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"You don't need to dare, you just need to do what I say. ”

The emperor's words were still dangling in her ears, but she couldn't understand what she wasn't allowed to see, but she also knew that Feng Jingting was the emperor after all, and the queen mother might not be able to win against him, so she was still obedient.

She commanded, "Let's get started." Then he found a corner and sat down, and really stuffed his ears with cotton balls, and covered his face with his sleeves, and thought he was deaf and dumb.

A eunuch cleaned up the Shending, and a lot of ash was removed, and then put the signs into the Shending, and wrote on the signs that there were two kinds of selections and cards. The method of participating in the election is very simple, only need each show girl to come and touch a handful in the Shending, if you touch the selection, you can enter the palace as a concubine, if you touch the brand, you can please go out of the palace.

The selected pattern is a jade Ruyi, and the plaque is engraved with gold flowers, a symbol, such as my heart, and the other is the meaning of sending off guests. To borrow a sentence from Feng Jingting, that is, whether you are selected or not, everything depends on God's will.

In the singing harmony of the master of ceremonies, the first show girl to participate in the election stepped in front of her and touched the god full of ashes.

Even if the ash in the ding is cleared, there are a lot of beauties, which beauty doesn't like to be clean, plus the ding's body is huge, she needs to stand on a chair to get inside, she doesn't dare to touch it deeply, only carefully picks one on the top. Immediately saw the carved gold flower pattern on it, and couldn't help but be disappointed.
