Chapter 6 Positive Selection 2
Xiu Girl's team moved forward slowly, thinking that it would take a long time to get their turn, and they didn't want to really start a group of six, but they arrived at Guanguan's group in half an hour. The previous group is coming to her to close, so Guan Guan is the first in their group. When he arrived at the palace, the official took off his veil. The justice who was leading the way wanted to see what a stunning face was under this veil, and his eyes widened when he saw Guan Guan's face. After all, he has seen the world, and his father-in-law will return to normal. Guan Guan knows how scary his pockmarked face is now, and the face saint is just going through the motions, but he is not too worried, so he will not cure her of the crime of "looking like no salt and disturbing the holy drive".
They stopped a few feet away from the royal car, bowed their heads one after another, and waited for the palace supervisor to take a roll call.
"Dali Temple Shaoqing official Zhiyuan's female official Guanguan. The palace man said in a long, shrill voice.
Hearing his name, Guan Guan stepped forward slightly and made a big salute: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." He blessed his body slightly to the left side, and said, "The Queen Mother Jin'an." Towards the right side of the body, he said, "The concubine Niang Niang Yu'an." ”
Chu Tianze has been sitting in this Cheng'en Hall for most of the hour since he came back from the early dynasty, and no matter how tired he is from dealing with the government on weekdays, he will not be like sitting on pins and needles like today. I watched so many show girls patiently in front of me, and I had a headache, and when I was bored, I suddenly heard a clear voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and said without thinking, "Stay!" After speaking, I didn't feel right, and coughed: "Raise your head." ”
Guan Guan was also frightened by the word "stay", and thought: Your Majesty, you will regret it, you will regret it...... The more I thought about it, the more empty my heart became, for fear of offending the emperor. His head turned rapidly, weighed and analyzed the situation, and finally had no choice but to slowly raise his head. What caught my eye was a young man in a dragon robe, with a dignified body. The three-dimensional facial features on the angular face are as handsome as a knife. The sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, a pair of eyes are like cold stars, and under the bridge of a tall nose is a slightly thin lip. The whole person exudes a kind of king aura that is mighty in the world. Although he only listened to his five words, the words in it were eloquent and the spirit of spitting out thousands of clouds had been undoubtedly revealed, and Guan Guan was not stupid for a while.
And Chu Tianze was also stunned at the moment when she raised her head.
"Emperor, this ......" The queen mother looked embarrassed, the emperor had opened the golden mouth, but the appearance of this woman was really ...... I really don't know how this show is done!
"Mother, since I have opened my mouth, there is no reason to take it back. Chu Tianze said, his eyes fell on Guan Guan.
A pockmarked face...... It's a pity that the clear mountain eyebrows and smart water eyes. Chu Tianze laughed at himself: I'm afraid this is also the most exceptional woman in me.
This Guan Guan came back to his senses from his stupidity: If he hadn't been selected, it would have been fine, but now that he has been chosen, how can he explain that his face will be restored in the future, in case he is cured of the crime of bullying the king...... Thinking about it, he stepped forward and thanked him and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." The courtier's daughter just had a sudden emergency, and she wanted to come to recuperate for a while to recover. ”
The warbler spoke tactfully.
Chu Tianze slightly hooked the corners of his lower lip when he heard this: "Well, stand down!" There is such a voice, even if it looks like no salt, it is not unacceptable.
Guan Guan smiled when he saw him, and said secretly: Can the emperor also look like this?
Guan Guan was unexpectedly selected, and Wen Xiyue, Xu Yuye, Wang Yan, Feng Yanru, etc. were also selected. Fang Rou was also selected, and she was one of the very few selected women.
This time, a total of 22 women were registered to fill the harem, most of whom were the daughters of important ministers in the court, which was an unspoken rule that had been followed throughout the ages, and in order to consolidate the rule of the emperor, the emperor had to encircle all ministers.
After the harem system of this dynasty was greatly changed in the first year of Qianyou's accession to the throne of Chu Tianze, it was simplified. The concubine grades are divided into seven grades. One queen, three concubines, five Zhaoyi, twelve Jieyu, twenty-four Baolin, thirty-seven beauties, and eighty-one women. Because of the hard work of Emperor Qianyou Chu Tianze, there were only more than ten palace concubines in the harem before. Before the emperor was established, the concubine with the highest median score among the three concubines was also vacant. Concubine Xian is the daughter of the hussar general Chen Hao, and Concubine Chen is the Chang family who gave birth to the eldest princess. Zhaoyi only accounted for one of the granddaughters of Zhenguo Gong Yi Sheng, and the rest, Jieyu was vacant, three Baolin, three beauties, and four women.
The selected show girls were temporarily canonized by the Queen Mother according to their background, and because they have not yet slept in bed, their positions are no more than above Baolin. After the attendants go to bed, the emperor will make other arrangements. The highest are Wen Xiyue and Xu Yuye, both of whom are Baolin, and Guanguan is named a beauty.
The Cheng'en Hall is carrying out the final canonization of the Queen Mother, and the virtuous concubines here also invite the concubines to gather in Shanglin Garden in the name of spring and flowers. It's called a small gathering for flower appreciation, but it's actually a general election that makes it difficult for the palaces to sleep and eat.
On the main seat sat a woman in her early twenties, dressed in a purple finch pattern palace robe, with a pink face but without losing her majesty, who was the initiator of this gathering, Concubine Xian.
"It's a good day today, the emperor and the queen mother are busy with the election, we have nothing to do, the palace thinks not to waste this good spring, so I invite my sisters to come to this small party in Lin Yuan. Concubine Xian glanced at everyone and said.
"Sister Xian Concubine is the most thoughtful, I have thanked my sister for her warm invitation on behalf of the sisters. Yi Zhaoyi said and drank all the wine in the cup.
"My sister really gave my sister face, and she drank so refreshingly. Concubine Xian smiled, "It should be the palace to thank the sisters for their faces!"
Everyone complimented each other.
"Why don't you see Sister Chen?" said a beautiful woman.
As soon as Yi Ling heard that someone had mentioned Concubine Chen, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and the good party was about to be ruined again.
"Concubine Chen Niangniang disdains to be with us, relying on her own appearance, and she is favored by the emperor, which time she puts people in her eyes. Yi Baolin said indignantly to himself, not seeing Concubine Xian's face pretending to smile at all.
But there was also an ignorant echo: "Just by virtue of her family background, if it weren't for the birth of an eldest princess, how could she sit on the throne of the concubine, but her stomach is just angry!"
Concubine Xian and Concubine Chen entered the palace in the same year, and Concubine Chen gave birth to the eldest princess for the emperor in the first year, but Concubine Xian has not produced anything for seven years. Undoubtedly, this is Concubine Xian's biggest sore spot, and when she was poked in the sore spot at this time, Concubine Xian's face suddenly sank.
Seeing that Concubine Xian's gloomy face was silent and she didn't say a word, the two of them knew that they had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly asked Yi Zhaoyi for help.
Yi Ling really wanted to ignore these brainless women, knowing that Concubine Chen was the hatred of Concubine Xian, and he also tried to face her three times and twice. But in order for this party to continue well, I had to come out to play a round again. Knowing that today's small gathering of Concubine Xian was to talk about the election, he hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't know how the election went before?" Yi Ling said curiously, and then looked at Concubine Xian and quipped: "Sister Concubine Xian has got any first-hand news, why don't you say it and share it with your sisters?"
"How can there be any first-hand news in this palace? You, no wonder the Queen Mother always says that you are open-mouthed!" Concubine Xian was really diverted by Yi Ling and said angrily at her.
Yi Ling only smiled and did not refute.
Everyone saw that Concubine Xian's face had improved, and someone else started talking, and the conversation continued.
"After this election, the harem will definitely be a lot more lively. ”
"It's others who are lively, the emperor has so many beauties, I'm afraid we will be more leisurely. ”
"I can suppress Concubine Chen's spirit, no matter how good she looks, she can't compare to the delicate sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. ”
The success of your words has shifted the topic to the general election.
"By the way, I heard that Prime Minister Wen's daughter was selected this time, that is a well-known lord, and his father is the prime minister of the dynasty, so it is not difficult to favor the harem in the future. Li Baolin sighed.
"It's a sure thing. Putting aside her identity as the prime minister's daughter, Wen Xiyue is still the sister-in-law of Fu Che, the son of the imperial prince, and the relationship between the Fu family and the emperor is ...... It's hard in the background. I only hate myself for not having a good life!" Jiang Meiren looked envious, and the concubines beside her also sighed that "the same people don't have the same life"!
"I just heard from the people below that although the emperor has received a lot of beauties this time, there is a strangely ugly one who has been taken care of, and I don't know if it's true or not?"
"I've also heard that there are noses and eyes below, I'm afraid it can't be fake, I really don't know what the emperor thinks......" Before Xue Meiren finished speaking, she was interrupted by Concubine Xian's reprimand: "How can you talk about the emperor?"
"The concubine knew that she was wrong. Xue Meiren said in a low voice.
Although Xue Meiren's words were not finished, everyone knew what she was going to say, because everyone was curious about why the emperor chose an "ugly girl" to enter the harem.
"Isn't that Miss Xuan beside the emperor?" Wu Cainu's sharp eyes found Fu Xuan, who was in the sea of flowers a few steps away.
Concubine Xian took a look, and sure enough, it was Fu Xuan, and she glanced at her personal maid Qian'er. Qian'er willingly walked towards the sea of flowers.
After a while, Fu Xuan was led to this group of feasts.
"I've seen all the masters. Fu Xuan blessed everyone.
"How dare we accept your courtesy, Miss Xuan. Concubine Xian chuckled.
"The mother has tormented the slave. Fu Xuan felt that Concubine Xian seemed to have something to say.
Yi Ling saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly scolded with a smile: "Ah Xuan, if you want the emperor to know that you call yourself a slave in front of us again, you should be angry." Do you remember how the emperor punished you last time? If you want to do this again, be careful that I sue the emperor. Yi Ling's few words resolved the embarrassment, gave Fu Xuan enough face, and made Concubine Xian's careful thinking unable to continue, after all, the emperor's face must be seen.
Fu Xuan hurriedly smiled: "Zhaoyi, don't make fun of me, and don't tell the emperor, I don't want to sleep in the room all day." ”
For Chu Tianze's punishment, everyone felt both funny and jealous. Yes, where is the emperor willing to punish her?
Concubine Xian actually didn't hate this Fu Xuan, after all, although she was valued by the emperor, she didn't actually affect her status. It's just that I was just stimulated by Concubine Chen, and I always have a heart for those who are close to the emperor. Fortunately, Yi Ling played a round, otherwise, it would never be a good thing that the relationship between himself and this Fu Xuan was stiff. After settling down, he noticed the pear blossom in Fu Xuan's hand, and asked with a smile: "This is ......?"
Fu Xuan explained: "Ah Xuan heard that the pear blossoms in Shanglin Garden were in full bloom, so he thought about breaking a few branches to the Qianqing Palace. ”
"Miss Xuan really has a heart, no wonder the emperor values it so much. Xu Meiren complimented.
"It's the emperor who doesn't think Ah Xuan is clumsy. ”
But everyone laughed silently, each with his own thoughts.
"Miss Xuan is the imperial front, but I heard about today's election? It seems that there is a show girl named Guanguan?" Xue Meiren couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ah Xuan did not serve in front of the emperor today, and he did not know much about the election. Looking up at the sun, "The hour is not early, and the holy driver is afraid that it is time to return, Ah Xuan retired." ”
"Go quickly, the emperor is important. Concubine Xian said, "I have to come to Changchun Palace to sit when I am free." ”
On the way back, Fu Xuan was a little absent-minded. Fang Cai Xue Meiren's words...... Unwilling to think about it further, Fu Xuan hurriedly walked towards the Qianqing Palace. The pear blossoms in his hand were scattered all over the ground......
