Seeing Fu Xuan looking in the direction where there was no one anymore, Fu Che shook his head helplessly, "Ah Xuan, this election, you should go too!"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Fu Xuan was obviously stunned and pretended to be calm.

"Don't I know you yet? You're also 20 years old this year, and you're in the last year of your candidacy, so don't delay yourself. ”

"Brother, you know everything, but he doesn't understand. Fu Xuan smiled helplessly: "Maybe he has no intention of me at all." ”

"It may also be that the authorities are obsessed, and you have never confided in him. The emperor worked hard, except for the Kaiyuan election in the year of his accession to the throne, which was the first time in seven years. Seven years ago, you were not old enough to run for election, and this is your last chance. Besides, the emperor issued an edict this year, don't you know that he is also thinking of you? I have three ways for women to enter the palace: courtesy, selection, and offering. You can't be selected, you can't make contributions, and your identity is not enough to be polite. If you don't fight for yourself this time, do you really want to be lonely for the rest of your life?"

Fu Xuan shook his head and said sadly: "Brother, I didn't expect what you said. But if he was interested in me, he should have expressed it all these years, and he would not have asked me to leave the palace when he had the opportunity, or even to marry me. If it's just my wishful thinking, I'd rather be by his side as I am now, and we can get along with each other naturally. Besides, with my affection for him, I really can't pull my face to fight with a group of little girls. As long as I can be by his side, even if I am a maid for the rest of my life, maybe in this way, I can become the most special one in his heart. ”

Fu Che said helplessly: "You really should study hard with your sister-in-law!"

Seeing that his brother mentioned his sister-in-law, Fu Xuan also put away his low affection, and smiled: "Okay, sister-in-law is the best, I know that you have a deep love for flounder." My sister-in-law is about to give birth, so go back to accompany her. It's time for the emperor to go back to the Qianqing Palace, I'll take the first step. ”

Fu Che looked at the back of the hurried departure, sighed, and turned to leave.

And at this time, Fu Xuan had already burst into tears: Brother, even if I can become a sister-in-law, he will never be like you. He and I are not destined to be as happy as you and your sister-in-law.

The day of the general election is getting closer and closer, and all those who have women of appropriate age in their families, from the royal family to the nobles, to the cloth and the common people, are destined to be unpeaceful. or busy running to set up relatives to avoid entering the palace, or seize the time to teach their daughters the etiquette in the palace, and practice their expertise diligently to find a way forward.

Guan Guan was sitting in front of the case at the moment, carefully flipping through the "palace secrets" that his mother had painstakingly found. The night before, Chen Yan'er had to read this book carefully, saying that the harem was sinister and full of tricks, looking at these "long insights", he had a preparation in his heart, and he had a heart to harm people, and he had to guard against people. Guan Guan read most of it, and was shocked by the content described in the book, is the imperial palace really such a terrible existence? Guan Guan hopes that the content of this book is all fiction, otherwise, it is really too tiring to survive in such a place.

"Miss, this is what Madame asked me to send......" The maid in Tsing Yi blushed for a while, and only handed the book to Guanguan.

"Liu Liu, why is your face so red? I haven't finished reading this book yet, why do you need to send it in a hurry?" Guan Guan said angrily.

Liu Liu only bowed his head and said nothing, and his face turned a little red. Guan Guan was inexplicable, glanced at the yellowed book, and didn't know what was strange in it, so he turned a few pages, and suddenly felt ashamed.

On the seventh day of the second lunar month, the Qianqing Palace held the palace lamp at the beginning of the day as usual. A group of palace ladies held robes and toiletries in hand.

"What about Ah Xuan?" Chu Tianze's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Back to the emperor, today is the day of the general election, and Miss Xuan went to the Queen Mother's place early in the morning. When he went, he instructed the slaves and maids to serve the emperor and wash. Yan Qing took a step forward and bowed his head and replied.

"Hmm. "Just one voice, no joy or anger," change clothes. ”

As soon as Mao Zheng arrived, a thick and long bell rang, and the palace attendants inside and outside the Qianqing Palace knelt all over the ground, and Chu Tianze strode out. The tall bright yellow figure seemed to brighten the faint sky a lot.

"The emperor is driving-"

As soon as the emperor walked away, the palace attendants who saw him off got up one after another. The palace maid who was previously respectful exploded in an instant.

"Sister Yanqing, what does it feel like to be a maid official......

"Yes, yes, it's usually Miss Xuan, and it's difficult for other palace maids to get close to the emperor, it's rare once, why didn't this opportunity fall on my head?

……

The little palace maids were chattering, their faces full of excitement, and they kept asking.

"Okay, okay, I'm still trembling, you don't know, the emperor frowned when I just combed my hair, and I was shocked to sweat, but fortunately, the emperor didn't blame, and I still have palpitations. I really don't know how Miss Xuan is calm and relaxed in front of the emperor on weekdays. Yan Qing covered his chest with his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's go and go our own way, Miss Xuan will be back in a while." ”

In the carriage ahead, Guan Guan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Before leaving, I didn't see my father, who had gone to the early court, and I always felt a little regretful in my heart. In particular, my mother told my father that she had stood in front of her room all night last night, and that she had not gone to the morning court until midnight. Thinking that his father, who had seen white temples and standing outside his room all night against the cold wind, Guan Guan felt guilty and moved in his heart, and tears fell like rain. Since childhood, I have loved to stick to my father, and my feelings for my father are deeper than my mother. Thinking that he may never have the opportunity to see his parents again in this life is even more sad.

Liu Liu, who didn't know the reason, thought that his young lady was worried about his future fate, and said with relief: "Miss, I heard that today's saint is talented and strategic, and he is in his prime, and his character must not be bad, so he is your good match!

"How am I doing this...... That's it," said suddenly, "It's just at home, and in the future, you can be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, and don't say anything like this in private!"

"Yes, miss. Seeing that the young lady was so strict, Liu Liu replied seriously.

The carriage shook violently and came to a sudden stop. Liu Liu said suspiciously: "This is here? As he spoke, he reached out and lifted the corner of the curtain, but when he saw that he was still in the middle of the city, he hurriedly asked the driver, "What's the matter?"

The coachman said: "The two carriages in front of me are in trouble, I'm afraid that the show girls who are also participating in the election have collided, and they are vying to be the first!"

Before entering the palace, they quarreled, and I am afraid that there will be no purity in the future. Guan Guan was secretly worried in his heart.

"Miss, what can I do about this?" Liu Liu said hurriedly.

"Wait, someone will come forward to solve it, we can't be this budding bird, and we don't have the ability to do it. Guan Guan sat quietly and said lightly.

"You're not in a hurry, but don't miss the hour. "Liu Liu wants to cry without tears at this time, it is really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

"Don't worry, someone is more anxious than us. Guan Guan smiled lightly, "Look, people are coming." ”

I saw a delicate and ornate carriage passing through the jam of traffic, slowly moving forward until it stopped in front of the two carriages in front.

"Whose car is it? I don't know how to come first and then come, so why did the people in front of me let it go first?" everyone waited!" Liu Liu was not convinced.

The coachman glanced at Liu Liu, "You girl has no eyesight, that's the Wen family's car, who dares to let you see it." Now we're good to go. Sweeping away the previous impatience, the coachman said doggedly.

"Which Wen family?" Seeing the coachman's face, Liu Liu sneered coldly.

Without waiting for the coachman to speak, Guan Guan continued: "What else can there be in the Wen family, such a pomp, it must be the daughter of Prime Minister Wen's family." ”

"Exactly. The coachman complimented: "This time it must be Miss Wen Er who is going to enter the palace." Speaking of the Wen family, it really deserves to be a big family in the Hou family, and the two daughters of the Wen family alone occupy two seats. ”

"Who knows if it's a false name that someone flattered, and you want me to ......" Before Liu Liu finished speaking, he was stopped by a look from Guanguan.

The coachman saw Liu Liu's face was angry, and said with a smile, Your young lady also has a good skin, although she can't compare with the famous family background and amazing name of the prime minister's family, there is still a chance to enter the palace as a little master, don't be too anxious. “

Liu Liu was angry, and Guan Guan shook his head and smiled lightly.

As he spoke, he saw that the stagnant traffic had begun to flow slowly. Guan Guan looked at the gorgeous Wen family carriage at the front, Wen Xiyue, too, who else in the world is honorable today.

It was easy to get to the Joan of Arc Gate, and I saw that the palace gate was full of beautiful people with fat swallows and thin swallows. Guan Guan stood in front of the high palace wall and stared intently. A palace wall separates the two worlds, and when you step into this door, you will really say goodbye to the former official Wanwan!

Liu Liu endured all the way, after all, after giving the coachman a lot of reward, he reprimanded him arrogantly: "Don't look down on people, no matter how good Miss Wen is, it has nothing to do with you, it is our young lady who gave you a reward today!"

Guan Guan was interrupted by Liu Liu's words, and couldn't help but quip: "The villain has a will! Liu Liu said shyly: "Miss, don't make fun of me, don't I see such a power as a person!" The master and servant walked into the Joan of Arc Gate with a smile, and also entered an unknown world.

After the household registration inspection of Shaochang Temple, a group of show girls who forged official registrations, underaged, overaged, and obscure birthdays were removed, and the remaining women were admitted to Chuxiu Palace to wait for the next day of show inspection.

The residence assigned to Guanguan is a small room, with a bookcase and a screen...... One should have, but also neat. The happiest thing is Liu Liu, seeing that there are two beds, she sighs that the palace is really different from other places, and the deployment is thorough, and even the maid's bed is so well prepared. Just as he was proud, he saw a woman in a plain cloth dress slowly enter the room, put her bags on another bed, and sat down on a chair next to the couch. Guan Guan noticed her as soon as the woman entered the door, and looked at her carefully, her appearance was not stunning but gentle and delicate, her clothes and hair accessories were ordinary, but her temperament and demeanor were very unusual, and she couldn't tell who it was for a while, so she didn't dare to speak rashly. Liu Liu was startled by the strange woman who suddenly broke in, and stepped forward to ask: "Which maid are you, I'm afraid you went wrong, this is where our young lady lives." Liu Liu reacted too quickly, and it was too late for Guan Guan to stop it.
