Chapter 405: Legend of the Deep Palace IV
On the fifth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of the Shengyuan, the autumn weather was crisp, and the triennial general election began. Show girls from all over the country were brought into the palace by eunuchs and palace maids for selection. The oldest of these young girls is no more than seventeen years old, and the youngest is thirteen years old, all of them are flower-like years, all of them are fat and thin, and they have their own beautiful faces. These girls have all been screened a lot, their talents and appearances are extraordinary, even in terms of background, they are much more noble than the little masters who have been promoted by several palace maids.
Lin Baiyu sat on the left side of the emperor, if she didn't want to come to meet the heroine of this world for a while, she didn't want to attend the draft event at all. Over the years, in addition to teaching the eldest prince, she didn't even bother to take care of palace affairs, and she didn't bother to care about which woman the emperor was fortunate with, but she was even more valued by the emperor. The emperor did nothing but go to Ganning Palace on the fifteenth day of every month to cover the quilt and sleep - real sleep. Because he couldn't do it if he wanted to, Lin Baiyu directly clicked on his sleeping hole - he was with other concubines the rest of the time, but it didn't affect Lin Baiyu's authority. Because of the emperor's respect for Lin Baiyu, although the concubines were jealous of the queen's power, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Lin Baiyu. Of course, except for the precious concubine, this person still thought that the emperor was the one who was infinitely tolerant of her.
The one sitting on the right side of the emperor is the precious concubine, today's precious concubine has dressed up well, and she looks gorgeous and beautiful, so that the emperor almost looks straight in the eyes. Come to think of it, this one is here to compete with the show girls.
The show girls were led into the palace by the eunuchs in a group of six, so that the emperor could choose to see, and the rest of the show girls waited in the East Warm Pavilion.
After a few rounds, the emperor only left two show girls into the palace, which made the precious concubine quite happy, and none of the two show girls were better looking than her.
The eunuch's shrill voice sounded again: "Sun Qingya, the daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou, Xiao Mingxiang, the daughter of Guangxi Daotai, and Lu Hongxun, the daughter of the household servant...... Audience. ”
Six girls with their own merits walked into the temple. One of the girls dressed neatly and concisely is particularly eye-catching, and it is simply an alternative and beautiful scenery among the showgirls, and it is difficult not to pay attention to her. Lin Baiyu knows that this one is the heroine. In the script, it is said that this woman does not want to enter the palace to dress so plainly. But looking at it now, Lin Baiyu only felt ridiculous, if she didn't want to enter the palace, she should have gone with the crowd, and now she is dressed so fresh, so different, so ...... Attracting people's eyes, and saying that they don't want to enter the palace, who are they fooling?
"What's your name with the woman in the light green clothes?" Sure enough, the emperor noticed the heroine at a glance.
The heroine took two steps forward, and Ying Ying bowed down and said: "Lu Hongxun, the daughter of the household servant, see the emperor and the queen, see the precious concubine, may the emperor live long live and be blessed, and the queen and the concubine Niangniang are auspicious." ”
The emperor asked with interest, "Which Hong?"
The heroine replied: "'It is both released, Hong Xun is still in the stream, if it is thousands of miles overhanging, it is up to four and cannot be poor'. ”
Lin Baiyu smiled and said, "What a talented girl, the emperor, leave a brand, right?"
The emperor was about to nod, but the precious concubine interjected: "Sister, don't worry, let's see how she looks before deciding." Even if you are talented, if you don't look good, it will be difficult to do that elegant thing with red sleeves. ”
The precious concubine has a feeling that the woman below is her mortal enemy, and she must not be allowed to enter the palace.
Lin Baiyu glanced at the precious concubine, since people can't find it by themselves, they just watch the play by themselves.
"You, look up. "The precious concubine said proudly.
The heroine slowly raised her head, and when she saw her face, the three people above all let out a short exclamation, and Lin Baiyu was naturally pretending.
"Oh, this show girl and my sister really look alike, if you don't know, you still think that your sister and this show girl are biological sisters!" Lin Baiyu covered her mouth with her hands, with a surprised expression, but she thought in her heart that it was impossible for two people with different blood relationships to look so similar, and it was necessary to check if the two were related.
The precious concubine gritted her teeth: "Who am I and my biological sister, my sister knows best." ”
"Yes, you're my own sister. Lin Baiyu smiled meaningfully and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's rare to have a girl who looks so imaginary with her sister, she must be very interesting after entering the palace, leave a sign, right?"
The emperor saw that the heroine and the precious concubine looked similar, and the trace of emotion he originally had for her dissipated. Now it is not the plot in the script, the precious concubine did not die, did not become a cinnabar mole on the emperor's chest, but let the emperor see many of its unpleasant sides, the emperor is not in a hurry to find a replacement, and he has no interest in the heroine. Even because of the precious concubine's work over the years, the emperor was a little angry.
The emperor said indifferently: "Since the queen likes it, then stay." ”
The eunuch sang: "Lu Hongxun, the daughter of the household servant, leave a sign." ”
The emperor had no interest in the other five, waved his hand, and was about to let the five retreat, when suddenly Lin Baiyu spoke: "Show girl in pink and yellow, what's your name?"
The girl's reaction was different from everyone else's, she let out a "ha" and asked blankly, "Are you asking me?"
"Bold!" cried the eunuch angrily.
Lin Baiyu said calmly: "It's okay." ”
The show girl also realized that her previous reaction and questioning were very disrespectful, and quickly knelt down. Uh, the action is a little rusty.
Lin Baiyu asked the show girl again: "You show girl is interesting, what's your name?"
The show girl hurriedly replied: "Xiao Mingxiang, the daughter of Guangxi Daotai, has seen the queen's mother." ”
"Mingxiang, that's a good name. Do you like tea art?"
Xiunu replied: "My mother likes it, and I have learned some from my mother." ”
Lin Baiyu nodded and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this girl is innocent and interesting, why don't you stay too?"
The emperor was also a little amused by the show girl's reaction just now, and nodded: "Then leave the sign." ”
"Huh?" the show girl was dumbfounded.
The precious concubine was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand, and launched a dead wave of light towards Lin Baiyu, but they were all blocked by Lin Baiyu.
Next, I chose to see a few waves of show girls, leaving three more to enter the inner palace, twelve for the children of the clan, and the rest of the show girls can return home to marry themselves.
"My sister deserves to be the queen, she is so pot-bellied, and she is desperately trying to add beauties to the emperor. The precious concubine sneered, "I don't know if those two parties will receive my sister's affection." ”
The emperor went to the imperial study to deal with something, and the two sisters went back to the harem together, and along the way, the precious concubine's mouth never stopped.
Lin Baiyu was too lazy to pay attention to the precious concubine, if she wanted to say it, let her say it was enough, and finally reached a fork in the road, the two were going to go in different directions separately, Lin Baiyu dropped a sentence: "So I'm the queen, and you're not." ”
And then walked away.
The precious concubine looked at Lin Baiyu's back, so angry that she almost bit off a mouthful of silver teeth.
Lin Baiyu returned to Ganning Palace, and the eldest prince put down the book in his hand and hurried over to salute Lin Baiyu. The eldest prince is now a nine-year-old boy, and his eldest son combines the advantages of the original owner and the emperor, and is very handsome. The eldest prince has moved to the prince's office since he was six years old, but he only goes back when he sleeps at night, and most of the time he stays in Ganning Palace to study with Lin Baiyu except for studying in the study. His basic internal strength has already begun to be cultivated, but with Lin Baiyu's warning, Xiao Baozi didn't let anyone except Lin Baiyu know that he had cultivated internal strength, and Mama Rong didn't know either.
Lin Baiyu touched the eldest prince's head: "What book are you reading?"
The eldest prince replied: "I am reading "Geography", and the child hopes that one day he will be able to travel the whole world in person. ”
Lin Baiyu smiled lightly: "Your father is in strong health, and when you go to him to make this request after you pass the crown, he will not refuse to agree." ”
Maybe the emperor wanted this grown son to leave quickly, and not remind him of the fact that he was older.
The eldest prince was overjoyed when he heard this.
The two mothers and sons talked for a while, and Lin Baiyu compared the eldest prince and gave him a compliment, which made the eldest prince even happier. After dinner, the eldest prince took Mama Rong back to the prince's office.
Lin Baiyu returned to the room, over the years, all the people in Ganning Palace had been cleaned up by her, and the people who stayed behind did not say how loyal they were, but they definitely did not dare to disobey her, what she wanted to do was much more convenient than before.
Pasting the invisibility talisman, Lin Baiyu left the palace and went to the post station where the show girls lived. This post station was originally to receive foreign officials to return to Beijing to report on their work, and after the foreign show girls entered Beijing, they specially cleaned up two courtyards for the show girls from other places to live. Lin Baiyu walked around the courtyard and found Xiao Mingxiang's room. Because Xiao Mingxiang has decided to enter the palace, the treatment is much better than before, and the other show girls in the courtyard dare not talk to Xiao Mingxiang as before, even if they are jealous, they dare not show it. Xiao Mingxiang only felt irritable, locked herself in the house by herself, and stopped all the people who were courting Pan outside the house.
"Ah, ah, ah......" Xiao Mingxiang rolled on the bed with her head in her hands, "Didn't you say that you went through the motions? Why did you get chosen? Could it be that I crossed into a palace fighting text? But I want to farm the field more often, it's safe there!"
After rolling for a while, Xiao Mingxiang sat up from her dress, clenched her fists and said, "Since you are destined to enter the palace, let's fight hard." Isn't it just Gong Dou? We're not afraid. Come on, let the storm come harder!"
Lin Baiyu: "......"
Looking at Xixi and Dandan outside through the space: "......"
Sissy: "Sure enough, it's a traverser." ”
Dandan: "It's still a bit of a second traverser." ”
Lin Baiyu stroked her forehead: "I knew that she was such a person, I wouldn't let her enter the palace, and I would have to be distracted to take care of this girl in the future." ”
Dandan: "I just hope that she won't become bad after she enters the harem, and she won't live up to your care." ”
Xixi said: "Host, in fact, you don't need to take care of her personally, there is a way for her to take care of herself." ”
Lin Baiyu hurriedly asked, "What way?"
Sissy: "Have you forgotten that we also have a system?"
