Zhao Jing let out a long breath and said to Zhao Yan: "The people below came to report that E-Niang was able to get out of bed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile brightly: "I knew that this method would definitely work." ”

Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Yan's face, and asked, "Why is it so coincidental that Taoist woman suddenly came to our house and said that she wanted to ask the auspicious person in the family to copy the Buddhist scriptures and pray for her birthday?"

Zhao Yan smiled mysteriously.

The man in the pavilion was slightly stunned, and said to himself: "Auspicious people?" - he looked at the faces of Zhao Yan and Zhao Jingxiao, and immediately understood, it turned out to be the dragon and phoenix twin brothers and sisters.

Zhaojing raised his eyebrows and asked, "That Dao Po shouldn't have been arranged by you, right?"

Zhao Yan smiled: "It was arranged by the eldest brother, but the idea was mine!"

Zhao Jing muttered: "I know!!" and urged Zhao Yan: "Okay, the hour is not early, I will go back this time, just accompany Eniang for lunch!!" After that, Zhao Jing ignored the person in the pavilion who made him extremely annoying, and strode away.

Zhao Yan was still polite, turned around and said "goodbye" to the man in the pavilion, and quickly followed Zhaojing's footsteps.

Zhao Yan didn't know that she had revealed her identity,

Ama is the banner of the Manchu army, and Eniang is the flag of the Han army. And he also has a twin brother. These conditions are enough to find out her identity.

Of course, that's all for later.

In the blink of an eye, three years later, Ama Eniang is looking for a suitable marriage partner for her in private. At the beginning of the eighteenth year of Kangxi, a piece of news exploded in the entire capital like an uproar.

The Empress Dowager issued a decree to prepare for the draft of the Eight Banners!!

This sudden draft intention really shocked Zhao Yan enough.

It is now the eighteenth year of Kangxi, and there are still two years before the rebellion of the three feudatories will end!

Although there is no record in history of whether there was a draft during the rebellion of the three feudatories, in the eight years of the war, many concubines from palace maids were favored and ascended, so it can be seen that there should have been no draft girls in these eight years!!

What she has been determined about for many years has given her such a thunderous blow!!

She's only sixteen years old, so she's naturally on the list!!

The second sister-in-law, Ma Jiashi, had a big belly, and her fat face smiled more like Maitreya Buddha, "My sister is still blessed, and I finally waited for the draft." With her sister's appearance, she will be able to win the screen. - Ma Jiashi also ran for election that year, but unfortunately lost because of his mediocre appearance.

The second sister-in-law was so envious, and why didn't she envy the second sister-in-law?

As the draft period is getting closer and closer, the sadness on Guarjiazhao's face is getting deeper and deeper.

Li smiled and comforted her: "I thought that E-Niang's concubine could only be married to someone who was in the right household." I didn't expect to have such a blessing! E-Niang has already taken care of it for you, not to mention, our family background will not be easily defeated. ”

It is because of this that she is worried! The depression in Zhao Yan's heart is indescribable.

E-Niang is right, she is a second-class Anding Bo, and she is the deputy capital of the second-class inlaid yellow flag. How could such a family family be defeated? I am afraid that before the election, the name has already been written down by the superiors, and I am only waiting for the superiors to make a decision on her marriage - either to stay in the palace and be the emperor's little wife, or to marry the children of the close branch clan to be a blessing. It is unlikely that they will marry on their own.

As far as she knows, in the early days of the Kangxi Dynasty, there should be no concubines surnamed Guerjia. It seems that there is only one concubine in the late Kangxi period whose surname is Guerjia......

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan was a little relieved.

So we waited for the day of the draft.

In March of the eighteenth year of Kangxi, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the catkins are all over the city.

The sky was dark, and a procession of carriages like a long dragon had lined up outside the Shunzhen Gate of the Forbidden City. As the Shunzhen Gate opened, the exquisitely dressed show girls got out of the carriage, lined up neatly, and slowly walked into the Shunzhen Gate under the guidance of the eunuch and the grandmother.

Today is the day of the general election of the Three Banners of the Manchurian Army, and there is no shortage of the best show girls in the Three Banners.

The draft needs to go through three processes, audition, primary selection and final selection.

The audition is the responsibility of the commander and deputy commander of each flag, and selects the show girls who have no physical disabilities and are of the right age from the women of the flag, record the names into a book, and submit them. The audition is very simple, as long as you don't lie about your age and you are not disabled, you can pass the test.

The primary selection is selected by the grandmothers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these grandmothers are responsible for inspecting the body of the show girl, not only to check whether the show girl is a virgin, but also to be eliminated if the skin is too dark, the body has scars, and the body smells bad.

Because Eniang had already done it in advance, Mama was polite with her hands and feet. Rao is like this, Guerjia Zhaoyan is still a little blushing. Lying naked on the small couch inside, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Gege, please put on your clothes. The grandmother only glanced at it a few times, and then said lightly.

Guerjia Zhaoyan said a good word, quickly began to get dressed, and after dressing neatly, she stuffed the red envelope prepared in advance into Mama's hand.

The grandmother's face suddenly turned kind, "Gege is immortal and jade, and she will definitely be able to be elected as a palace concubine." As he spoke, he wrote down her name on the primary list.

Guerjia Zhao hurriedly said: "Cheng Mama Ji Yan." "-To be the emperor's little wife, forget it. She has a cousin, who is Eniang's niece, who has been in the palace for more than ten years.

This concubine is the concubine of Jingyang Palace.

In her memory, she still vaguely remembers this cousin, when she was still a little Lori. My cousin has no sisters, so she loves her very much. It's a pity that when she was five years old, her cousin was drafted into the palace, and I remember that year, my cousin had just reached the palace. She hasn't seen her cousin since......

Next, a eunuch led the show girls who passed the primary selection to the depths of the palace.

The last round, although it is called "Palace Selection", the location of the selection may not be the temple. The eunuch led a group of Shangsanqi show girls through the imperial garden, from the north and south alleys of the West Sixth Palace all the way to the north district.

The show girl next to her was already a little stunned, and Guerjia Zhaoyan relied on the memory of many trips to the Forbidden City in her previous life, and knew in her heart that it would not be long before she was in Cining Palace.

Could it be that this draft is going to be selected in Cining Palace?

This is normal, the Qing Dynasty draft has always been decided by the Queen Mother and even the Queen Mother. If Zhonggong is alive, he will naturally accompany the selection. However, now in this year, Kangxi's original match, Queen Renxiao, has long since passed away, and the successor Niu Hulu also died last year.

So now the middle palace is empty. Now the highest position is the Jingren Palace concubine Tong Jia's family, and the Yongshou Palace Niangniang Niu Hulu clan - this is the next sister, who has been in the palace for more than half a year, although she has not been canonized, she also enjoys the courtesy of the concubine.

Under the two palaces, there are no concubines, only the seven concubines of Hui Concubine, Yi Concubine, Rong Concubine, Concubine Xuan, Jing Concubine, An Concubine, and Duan Concubine.

The show girls followed behind the leading eunuchs, neatly lined up in two rows, walking evenly, although everyone was curious about where they were going, but they were not interested in asking.

Zhao Yan originally thought that the target location was Cining Palace, but unexpectedly led the eunuch to the front of Cining Gate, but he didn't stop at all and continued to move forward. Zhao Yan said in her heart, further on, it is the garden of Cining Palace!

I thought to myself, now that the spring flowers are blooming, and it is such a sunny day, it seems that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are also unwilling to stay in Cining Palace.

The scenery of Cining Garden is very good, the spring peach blooms in a tight cluster, looking at it from a distance, it seems like a pink glow accumulating, the warm breeze blows, the intoxicating sweet fragrance will come to the face, it is really refreshing.
