Chapter 464: The Draft
Although Wei Wan has a seven- or eight-point appearance, she only has two or three points of charm between her smiles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiao Shaotang retracted his gaze and walked out.
Now in the eyes of the world, the deceased Empress Xiaoyuan has become a legend, both hating her demon girl and ruining the country, but when she mentions it, they all envy her glory in life.
Such a person, no matter how deliberately imitated by other women, is a beauty after all, and the emperor must not understand this truth.
The next day, when Xu Chengru returned to Ning, she told her husband Dong Zheng what she had seen.
Bai Chenghuan was also on the side, and when he heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Xu Chengru held Mrs. Wei Beihou's hand, and soon noticed Bai Chenghuan's strange appearance, so he smiled:
"Fourth sister, what's wrong?
Although Xu Chengru didn't know why she said such a thing, and her mother didn't shy away from this righteous daughter, her mother liked her, and Xu Chengru was willing to give her face, and she could be regarded as affectionate.
At this time, seeing her suddenly cold look, thinking of the rumors a few days ago, she once wanted to pretend to be the third sister, Xu Chengru felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
Her third sister is the emperor's childhood sweetheart, not any woman can pretend to be at will, even if it is the second sister Xu Chengyi and An Zhulin, it can only be confused for a while, and it will never last long.
And Bai Chenghuan in front of him, did he think that with his mother's favor and her name, he could replace the third sister?
Bai Chenghuan watched her eldest sister, who used to be very good with her, now look at her with such strange and questioning eyes, her heart was bitter, but she couldn't say anything.
She was almost certain that it was deliberate.
However, there are Xu Chengyi and An Zhulin in the front, and there is one more in the back, what is the difference?
She didn't want her eldest sister to know that she was the former Xu Chenghuan, and she didn't want to be the former Xu Chenghuan again.
Since this is the case, no matter who wants to fight for favor in her name, it has nothing to do with her, so why care.
Bai Chenghuan, who quickly figured this out, laughed again:
"Yes, I think it's strange, is there really someone in this world who can be so similar to Empress Xiaoyuan?"
Mrs. Wei Beihou quietly took Bai Chenghuan's hand and patted it gently, which was a silent comfort, and then said to Xu Chengru:
"No matter who it is, no matter how similar she is, except for An Zhulin, who is to deal with the emperor, I don't recognize anyone else, Chengru, you don't have to take this matter to heart, no matter how the emperor messes around, our Xu family has nothing to do with him anymore, let's just live our days, your third sister is already the one who went, let's just know it in our hearts, don't have to disturb her from time to time." ā
Xu Chengru saw that his grandmother said so, so he nodded and put this matter away.
The emperor originally built the soul conjuring platform to summon the soul of the third sister, and his own family did not approve of disturbing the soul of the third sister in this way, but there are too many people who want to use this matter to make a fuss, since the mother has a plan in her heart, then it is not a big deal.
As more and more displaced people from all over Daqi, the Spiritualist Observatory was finally built.
On the sixth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of Xihe, which lasted for three months, and the soul conjuring platform with tens of thousands of people killed and wounded, was finally completed.
The Qintian Eunuch was accompanying the emperor to ascend the high platform, set up an altar to worship, and prayed to heaven for the soul of Empress Xiaoyuan to reunite and return from reincarnation.
On the same day, the emperor issued an edict to the world, and the selection of show girls officially began.
Under the towering conjuring platform, countless people gathered, and this high platform, which was built at an unprecedented speed, suddenly became the heart of Daqi, and every beat and movement involved countless hearts.
The displaced people who gathered looked up at the emperor, who was rare to see in his life, and now he could only look at him ethereally, and looked at the behemoth of the Soul Calling Platform with some fear, thinking about the white bones in the deep mountains, no matter how they couldn't figure it out, how could they build such a high platform for a dead person, if they didn't build this high platform, maybe they wouldn't have to die so many people, maybe the silver used to build the high platform could give them a few more full meals, and their families could starve to death a few.
Such thoughts together, compared to the quotations of some courtiers, sighed again and again, their hearts seemed to be blocked with countless cotton, and their anger was indescribable, as if a little spark could burst into flames.
And in the city, the show girl who had been waiting for more than three months finally saw the dawn of dawn, looking at the spiritualist platform from afar, many women cried with joy!
They are all women from poor families, and in order to let them fight for this wealth, the family gave everything they have, sent them to Beijing, but they are suffering here, if they continue like this, they will almost go crazy because of despair!
In an inn in the capital, Bai Lianye clenched his hands into fists, looking at the day and day and looking at the built spiritualist platform stupidly, tears swelled in his eyes, but the red tide gradually rose on his face - Bai Lianpeng, who had no courage, had already returned to Yuzhou, and he had worked hard in vain to finally wait for this day!
And the ruthless and unrighteous Bai Chenghuan, she thought that she had climbed to the high gate and been prosperous and rich since then, looked down on her cousin, and ignored herself, did she really become a master?
One day, let her know how to write the word "regret"! Whether it is success or failure, give it a go!
The weather in late autumn is still different from the dry heat of previous years, only the blue sky can make the floating people's hearts quiet a little, one by one carriages drove into the palace gate, and the Ministry of Rites began to arrange for show girls to enter the palace in batches for the emperor to see.
On the shore of Taiming Lake, in front of Yanbo Pavilion, the show girls stood in a line, facing the big sun, but no one dared to relax in the slightest, and still tried their best to show their best appearance and demeanor.
There was no queen mother in the harem, so she had to let Concubine Shu and the emperor select together.
During this period, Concubine Shu also fell in love with many good-looking women, but after the emperor asked Zhan Shichun, who was standing on the side, he shook his head one by one.
"He Qingqing, give silver, repatriate...... Mingmoer, give silver, repatriate ......"
Until sunset, the emperor didn't pick a woman, Concubine Shu couldn't help frowning, but Xu Chengyi, who was waiting for the news in Cining Palace, and An Guiren in Chunqing Palace were relieved.
According to this approach, what are they worried about?
One by one, the show girls went disappointed, although the imperial court issued the return travel expenses, but thinking about the failure of this splash of wealth and wealth, they couldn't help but be heartbroken.
The longer you wait, the greater your expectations, and even the desperate mind in it, but now it is so simple to fall short, not to mention the long way back, and how difficult the world should be today!
Clusters of flames of resentment quietly ignited.
Fang Handong was very unconvinced, but he couldn't afford to offend Zhan Shichun, who was becoming more and more proud at this time, so he could only arrange for the show girl to leave the palace hatefully.
After all the show girls who entered the palace today were gone, the emperor put his hands behind his back, looked at the palace that was dyed with gold edges by the setting sun, and asked Fang Handong:
"Why didn't you see the righteous girl of Weibei coming?"
Fang Handong was stunned, a madman, does the emperor still remember?
But I didn't dare to hesitate, and honestly flipped through the booklet and replied:
"Back to the emperor, Bai Chenghuan, a show girl from Yuzhou, had withdrawn her draft qualification due to illness earlier. ā
