Yuan Ziyan was speechless for a while, and only comforted him for a long time: "We have three places in Luoyang, don't worry, you will definitely be able to enter the palace." ”

Chu Ling'er shook her head and wept and said, "No matter how many places there are, it will be in vain if I can't run for election." It's a pity that I'm so blessed that these opportunities will eventually go to waste. ”

Chu Linger's body is very weak, if the audition drags on for a day or two, it can be hard, but today it is absolutely not possible.

As the saying goes, human life is destined. If Chu Ling'er hadn't fallen ill, she would naturally have been able to enter the palace smoothly and meet her wishes, but she was so sick that it was difficult to speak, so how could she participate in the popular audition again?

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help, so she could only say: "Ling'er, nothing is precious to life, take care of your body, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that Chu Ling'er was not in high spirits, Yuan Ziyan persuaded again: "Ling'er, I see that you have a blessed face, although there were more ups and downs in childhood, but the future is bound to be smooth and smooth." So, in my opinion, even if you don't enter the palace, you will spend your life safely. ”

Chu Ling'er, who was a little relieved, nodded, but a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye again, Yuan Ziyan knew that she was very distressed and distressed.

Even in a modern society with a sound legal system, there will still be unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, let alone grassroots officials in feudal society. Maybe losing the only weight of entering the palace, Chu Linger's father will really encounter an accident. Under the wall, how can there be eggs? I hope Chu Ling'er will be happy and safe in the future.

"Miss, it's not too early." Yuzhu couldn't help but remind him again, Yuan Ziyan cooperated and put on the clothes sent by Yuwen Chengji.

But it's not a lilac one, it's a goose-yellow one. Anyway, the face is broken, and it won't get better in ten days and half a month, so it's better to pick a plain one.

Yuzhu's boss was reluctant and persuaded for a while, but Yuan Ziyan insisted on wearing this set, and let Yuzhu change the clothes inlaid with pearl ornaments to Chu Ling'er later, so that this poor girl could get some spiritual comfort.

About half an hour later, someone who looked like a eunuch in the palace walked in, and asked everyone to stand by state and county in a thin voice. Those from Daxing, Luoyang, and Taiyuan were given special treatment and could stand at the front.

Great, the early election will be over early, Yuan Ziyan secretly rejoiced.

Even if it is a candidate from a large place, it must be divided into three or six grades. The women of the official eunuchs above the third rank are in the forefront, and those of other ranks are in the second column, and the good sons of the common people are in the last column.

Yuan Ziyan and Zhou Shanshan are naturally in the second column, neither the highest nor the last. Although it was a clear sky and a warm sun, Zhou Shanshan was still cold, and her sleeves flashed dishonestly.

Yuan Ziyan understood at a glance, and laughed, "Shanshan, didn't your suit flicker last night, right?" ”

Zhou Shanshan said dissatisfiedly: "If you hadn't pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night and caused me to fall to the ground and wash it again, it would have dried out by this time!" ”

"I usually don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, you're afraid of a fart!" Yuan Ziyan looked disdainful, Zhou Shanshan paid great attention to her own image in front of outsiders, and put on a look that everyone was not as good as you, and was full of expectations that she would be taken in at a glance.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" As several richly dressed girls shouted, a column of beautiful women walked over, and then stood in front of Yuan Ziyan, not shaking or shaking, with a permanent smile on the corner of their mouths.

It seems that this is the girl from the dignitary's family, who either stayed at home last night, or arranged a post station, and did not sleep on the floor in Qunxiangyuan at all.

Everyone looked at the girls in the first row curiously, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, they feel inferior when they see it!

Each of them is the appearance of a smiling swallow and a shy warbler, the face of a peach and an apricot, a slender posture, a leisurely posture, a dignified bearing cultivated since childhood, even if it is an occasional joke, it is also a standard six shell teeth, and there is absolutely no more to show one, which really makes people can't believe that this is actually a group of teenage little petite babies.

Behind him, there was another sound of Suosuo, Yuan Ziyan looked back, and a group of officials came in, and the man in the forefront was a man around forty years old. He wears a black gauze crown hat with a strand of silk thread tied around his neck. Dressed in a dark red embroidered shirt, a blue robe on the jacket, a jade belt around the waist, and a pair of cloud-toed boots that match the costume very well, coupled with this person's lofty posture, it looks a little majestic.

Who is this man? Yuan Ziyan muttered to himself in his heart, of course, everyone was new to the capital, and no one knew him.

"Lord Zhongchang, I'm polite!" A head of the household department flattered this person.

"Lord Wang, there are a large number of sons of good families participating in the election this time, and we are under the emperor's order, but we must work together to share the worries of the lord." The man said in a thin voice.

Obviously a sissy, Yuan Ziyan looked at this person carefully, there was no need on his face, there was no doubt that he should be a eunuch, but he had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a pair of triangular eyes were purring and turning, and they were full of power.

"What Lord Xu said is that he will never dare to slack off." The head of the household department nodded like a chicken chattering rice.

Lord Xu? Could it be Xu Tingfu, the eunuch general next to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty? Yuan Ziyan has learned about this person's "glorious image" in many novels in later generations, he is greedy for money and is treacherous, and if the concubines don't give him gifts, they won't be able to see the emperor.

"That's very good." Xu Tingfu pretended to nod, and when he saw another team of guards coming in outside, Xu Tingfu's straight waist immediately hunched, replaced with a flattering smile, and walked forward with a big smile, arching his hand: "Why is General Yuwen also here?" ”

It was Yuwen Chengji, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who came, "On the orders of the emperor, I came to maintain order and assist Master Xu in selecting a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance and good conduct to accompany the king." ”

Xu Tingfu smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor doesn't trust the old minister, and he sent General Yuwen to supervise." ”

Yuwen Chengji snorted and laughed: "Lord Xu, is this complaining about the emperor?" ”

Xu Tingfu's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly said that he didn't dare, the two of them didn't talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, and after a few words of greeting, they went to the area under their jurisdiction.

It turned out that because the number of people this year was more than at any time in previous years, the household department was too busy, and they were afraid of aesthetic fatigue and missing out on beauty, so the people from Daxing, Luoyang and Taiyuan were personally checked by Xu Tingfu.

Xu Tingfu staggered to the front of everyone, first looked around, and then clapped his hands with his orchid fingers and smiled: "Absolutely, all the young ladies are naturally beautiful, the moon is shy of flowers, the old slaves are dizzy, and I thought I saw a group of Chang'e!" ”

Many girls first pursed their lips and smiled, and then they all knew the etiquette, and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Xu, for your praise." ”

"Oh, it's a bad old slave! With your appearance, you are a beauty when you enter the palace, maybe you can become a lady, and the old slave will have to rely on you in the future! Xu Tingfu said with a sharp smile.

This is just a polite word, and many people are not to blame, of course, no one will take it seriously. Xu Tingfu is in the position of a permanent attendant in the four grades, and he is also the head of internal affairs, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, if anyone wants to see the emperor after entering the palace, if he does not remind him, the beauty in the palace is like a cloud, even if he dies, no one knows.

It is said that there was an official lady who was taken by Emperor Yang of Sui at a glance after entering the palace, and immediately sealed the beauty, and Emperor Yang of Sui did not go anywhere else for several months, even Empress Xiao's birthday banquet, Emperor Yang of Sui was negligent because of this beauty's ill health.

But it's because this beauty is smooth sailing and thinks she has won the emperor's favor, so she doesn't even pay attention to the queen, let alone someone else? often instructed Xu Tingfu to do some work of serving tea and pouring water, but he didn't know that Xu Tingfu had never served the emperor and queen.

Later, there were rumors that this beauty and the emperor of the palace did not agree, which was very unlucky, although the emperor did not believe it, but the freshness passed, and every time she saw this beauty, she nagged and kept complaining, as if everyone in the world was sorry for her, which made the emperor very annoyed.

Later, the beauty was gradually alienated, and in the end, the emperor never came.

The beauty looked through the autumn water, waited left and right, but couldn't wait for the emperor, and every time she quarreled to see the emperor, she was bombarded away by Xu Tingfu. The beauty really couldn't think about it, she had a nervous breakdown and went crazy, and cursed Xu Tingfu every day, saying that it was he who slandered the emperor that led to the current result, and when he became the queen in the future, he would definitely kill him!

Xu Tingfu saved the words of scolding himself, but learned the words of the beauty to be the queen to the emperor word for word, and Emperor Yang of Sui was furious and sent him into the cold palace and never saw each other again.

What is more tragic is that this beauty died soon after due to illness and poor care of the palace people, and she was found after more than a day of death. What's even more sad is that the beauty died of illness, of course, she had to report to the emperor and queen, and the queen immediately cried when she heard it, sighing that her sister was so miserable, but Emperor Yang of Sui held the new beauty, and didn't think about who died. When the queen saw this, there was no need to continue to pretend to be sad, and still arranged singing and dancing to make the emperor happy.

This beauty naturally ended up with a hasty burial, and no one paid tribute.

It can be seen that the competition between the harem and the harem is very fierce, but Xu Tingfu has played a vital role, if you want to maintain a good relationship with Xu Tingfu. Xu Ting's auxiliary life roots are broken, and his favorite thing is yellow and white, in other words, to give him gifts from time to time.

Xu Tingfu was also serious, not three or five of them looking at it together, but observing them one by one, as if he was still taking notes, and seemed to be very serious. More than half of the first row in front stayed, and the acceptance rate was high.

The girls who were left with the signs were taken to other places and left as soon as they were not chosen.

The speed of other states and counties is faster, and it is also divided into three columns according to different identities, but it is five to participate in the interview together, and Lord Wang, the head of the household department, can't help but take a few more glances at the beautiful girl. The first element of entering the palace is to look good, the emperor wants a woman, not a military advisor, and he has a smart brain and a fart, so on average, each person does not exceed five seconds.
