Chapter 3 Chuxiu Palace

Listening to Liu Liu's words, the woman raised her head slightly, and smiled faintly gently: "I am the show girl of this year, I am not from everyone's background, and I have no attendant." This is also where Father-in-law Li arranged for me to live. ”

When Guan Guan heard this, he glanced at Liu Liu, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This girl is straightforward and fast-talking, but she has no malicious intentions, and I hope the girl doesn't mind her previous nonsense." I saw that the girl was beautiful and graceful, even if everyone was born to raise such a beautiful woman. You and I are in the same place now, and we should take good care of each other. ”

When the woman heard this, she added a little good impression to the beautiful woman in front of her, and listened to her speak with a feeling of spring breeze, and said with a smile: "This is natural, the little woman's surname is Fang, and her single name is a 'soft' word, and she is seventeen years old." Seeing her so solemn, Guan Guan also said: "The little woman's surname is Guan, and her single name is 'Guan', and she is sixteen years old." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"When I first arrived in Beijing, I saw that everyone seemed to be very indifferent, thinking that people here were not happy to deal with it, so I didn't bother to say hello, and the girl was the first show girl to take the initiative to talk to me. If you don't give up, let's call each other sisters in the future, the girl screamed and screamed. Fang Rou said.

That's what I mean. Sister Fang, Liu Liu's tea is a must, let her make a pot of tea, first, to make amends to you, and second, to celebrate the acquaintance of our sisters, okay?"

"Where is the need to make amends? Liu Liu is so innocent, why is there anything wrong. However, the sisters wanted to drink a cup together for the first time, and they really had to bother Liu Liu to help us make a pot of tea. ”。

Hearing this, Guan Guan winked at Liu Liu, who lowered his head and felt guilty, as if to say, don't feel guilty, people don't blame you. Liu Liu understood, and trotted to make tea.

After dinner, Guanguan first sent Fang Rou, who was infected with the wind cold, back to rest. He took Liu Liu to find some medicine for Fang Rou, the election is imminent, and he will definitely make a mistake if he is sick. By the way, I also walked around the Chuxiu Palace, which was the first palace to live in the palace.

"Miss, I think this girl is very good, but not very good. You see that she is from a poor family, and she has no posture of falling into the city, and she is sick and weak, I am afraid it will be difficult to choose. ”

"But I see that Sister Fang is very good, not domineering, and she is very comfortable with her. Guan Guan said sincerely, and whispered in Liu Liu's ear, "Besides, how do you know the emperor's preferences, I think that if Sister Fang loses the election, it will be the emperor's loss." ”

"But I still think that Miss and Miss Fang should not be too close. If you are all selected, there will definitely be conflicts for the emperor in the future, if you are not selected, you will be separated in a few days, the deeper the love, the more sad the separation, Liu Liu does not want Miss to be sad. ”

"I didn't expect us Liu Liu to see things so clearly. Guan Guan smiled with satisfaction, "It's just that who can tell what will happen in the future? Besides, I believe that my fate with Sister Fang will not be so short, and the relationship will only be deeper. Let's go, grab the medicine first.

Early in the morning, Guanguan got up early in the morning, chose a simple moon white Luo skirt for himself, and the green silk was slightly pulled up, and he went to the main hall with Fang Rou to show off. After Fang Rou took the medicine, her body was better today, she was still dressed plainly, and she was pulled by Guan Guan to draw a light makeup, and she was a lot angry when she looked at it. When the two arrived, there were already many beautiful girls waiting outside the palace.

The show inspection is divided into two rounds of appearance inspection and body inspection. The appearance inspection is assessed by the eunuchs of the three provinces, and only the middle and upper posture can be used, and the emperor will choose it when it is selected. The physical examination is more complicated, there are successively disease examinations, wound (scar) examinations, taste examinations, and treatment examinations, and only when all of them are qualified, can they enter the final emperor's election.

Xiujian also eliminated most of the show girls, many of whom were very beautiful women who were removed, I don't know if they offended any powerful people, and some of them were very ordinary-looking and stayed, I don't know because of which family's power. Everyone knows that everyone is tired in the show, and everyone understands the truth of self-protection, not to mention that those who take the dark path also take risks, which is the price. How can anyone know whether it is a blessing or a curse to stay or to leave?

Guan Guan and Fang Rou unsurprisingly stayed. There are many vacant rooms in Chuxiu Palace, although the residence has been reassigned, Guan Guan and Fang Rou still live in the same place because of the same smell. After a day of tedious and dull inspections, the two were so tired that they fell asleep on their pillows.

I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly heard a long sharp sound and woke up from my sleep. This is the bell of the assembly show girl, helpless, the two had to get up and walk to the main hall sleepily.

All the show girls didn't know what was going on, and there were many discussions.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chu Tianze was eating. Only Fu Xuan was waiting alone.

Yan Qing approached lightly, and whispered to Fu Xuan: "Miss Xuan, the hour is almost up!"

On the side, Chu Tianze was still moving his chopsticks slowly, and his head didn't turn, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Qing was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "The slave and maid should die, disturbing the Holy Lord's meal." ”

"What do you just ask, what are you doing on your knees?" Chu Tianze said in a solemn voice.

Fu Xuan made a look for Yan Qing to retreat first, and then turned to Chu Tianze: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid will go to Chuxiu Palace later and give orders." After a pause, he said, "Does the emperor have any holy edicts for the slaves and maids to bring?"

"It's not a big deal, let's find someone else, you go to Yiyuan tonight. ”

"The slave obeys. Fu Xuan replied calmly, but there was a hint of sweetness in his heart. Draft, he doesn't seem to care much?

There was chaos in Chuxiu Palace at this time.

"Gonggong Li, what is the matter, making us wait so long?" said Xu Yuye, the daughter of Xu Wanfeng, the head of the household department, angrily.

"Miss Xu, the minions don't know either, the top instructed the show girls to gather at the time, saying that they have something to order. The minions are only responsible for ringing the bell. Li Rong said with a smile.

The crowd scoffed.

"Then you can't wait like this, this hour has passed!"

"Yes, yes. "All the beautiful girls should be in harmony. Guan Guan couldn't help but have some doubts.

Just when I was puzzled, I saw dozens of boxes being carried in by the eunuchs in turn, and the last forty-year-old grandmother walked into the hall, and her strict appearance made the hall quiet for a moment.

"Mama Yu, why are you here. When Li Rong saw someone coming, he was startled, and greeted him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years." ”

The person who was called Mama Yu only replied to him with the sentence "entrusted by others" and ignored him, only listening to her slowly say to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been waiting for a long time, today is Miss Xuan's order to order the election in three days, because she has another imperial order, so I am specially sent here." He said and pointed to the big box on the side: "The show girl in the box will receive a set of clothes for a while, and you must wear a unified palace dress on the day of the election." In these days, you must study the rules well, so that you will not lose your honor before the saints. As if he remembered something, he turned to Li Rong and said, "Gonggong Li, you have to be a good student." After saying that, Mama Yu left. Li Rong wiped his sweat and hurriedly said yes behind him.

"What kind of person is that Miss Xuan, she put on a show like this, making us wait for more than an hour, and when I become the master in the future, see if I don't extinguish her majesty!" Xu Yuye couldn't help muttering when she saw that Jade Mama walking away. I thought I was just whispering, but everyone around me heard it.

The other show girls were also very curious about the Xuan girl, and when they heard Xu Yuye say this, they also discussed angrily.

"That's not an ordinary person, even if you become the imperial concubine, you may not be helpless against her. Wen Xiyue, who had always been surrounded by compliments, sneered, as if he was laughing at some people's indiscretion.

Even Wen Xiyue's identity is afraid of that Miss Xuan? Everyone looked at each other.

This is the first time Guan Guan has heard Fu Xuan's name, and he actually hopes that he will have the opportunity to meet this mysterious woman for a while in the future, and the woman who can make the proud Wen Xiyue say these words must be unusual.

As the night sank, Fu Xuan gently knocked on the door of a side hall, and seeing that no one had answered the door for a long time, the woman's pair of string moon eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was worried about something.

After a while, there was finally a faint sound of dressing from inside the door. After a while, the door opened, and inside was the grandmother who went to Chuxiu Palace.

Fu Xuan saw that Mama's complexion was okay, and his hanging heart relaxed.

"Ah Xuan, why did you come here so late, it's cold outside, come in and sit. As he spoke, he took Fu Xuan inside.

"Mama......"

"There's no one, what's the name of Mama. The grandmother said angrily.

Fu Xuan smiled embarrassedly: "Aunt Yu, I'm sorry for you today, Ah Xuan really can't help it." ”

"Silly girl, this old bone of mine can help you with this little thing, what troublesome is not troublesome. ”

"You are not in good health, and you have been away from the harem for so many years, if you can't find the right person today, you won't come to disturb your purity. Li Rong in Chuxiu Palace is timid and afraid, and he is only afraid that he will only flatter those show girls who may become future masters, how dare he discipline them. If he didn't ask someone who taught him to be in awe to exert some pressure and let him watch the show girl strictly, maybe there would be some chaos on the day of the election. He is also an old man in the palace, knowing your identity, he will remember what you said. ”

"Then Li Rong will always sell me a few thin noodles in front of the emperor, you don't have to worry. ”

"If the emperor wants to let you do this, he has to teach me a hard lesson. Fu Xuan smiled bitterly.

"If you don't say it, I don't say it, the emperor won't know. Mama Yu said, and smiled ambiguously at Fu Xuan, "Besides, the emperor is willing to blame you!"

Fu Xuan blushed when he heard this: "Aunt Yu, what did you say?"

The two chatted for a while, and Mama Yu looked at Fu Xuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, knowing what she wanted to ask, and intimately picked out the words first: "There are a few show girls in this session who are very outstanding, with outstanding appearance and elegant manners......" Seeing that Fu Xuan smiled a little forcefully after hearing this, Mama Yu sighed helplessly, "It is natural that you will not be ordinary if you can go through layers of selection, and you don't have to be sad, your relationship with the emperor is incomparable to them." After Mama Yu finished speaking, she suddenly coughed, where could Fu Xuan still care about her sadness, she hurriedly poured a glass of water, helped Mama to rest by the bed, and said hurriedly: "What about the girls, why haven't you seen you to serve." ”

Mama Yu hurriedly explained: "I let them go to sleep first, don't blame them, I'm also an old problem, it's nothing." It's late, you should go back and rest, you have to get up early in the morning to serve the emperor. ”

Fu Xuan came back from Mama Yu, and the emperor had already slept. Thinking about Mama Yu's words, my heart was a little confused. Looking at the meticulous emperor's quiet sleeping face during the day through the curtain, his heart slowly calmed down.
