This was the primary selection of palace maids located in the yamen of the national capital, so the empress ordered several female officials in the palace to participate in this selection.

Under the command of a female officer, I lined up with a large group of people, and followed her step by step into the place of the first examination in the back garden of the yamen.

The place in a large room is similar to the examination room in my eyes.

In order, those who arrived early had already finished the interview, and I saw the women who came out of the other door with different expressions on their faces, the same as the ones I had seen outside the yamen when I came.

I felt a sigh in my heart, although Xiao An and I had talked about the selection process when I sat under the persimmon tree in the small courtyard and drank tea, and many of them were heard by him when he was in the palace.

Coupled with Ji Jiu's occasional mention, it formed a general impression in my mind intermittently.

However, hearing and experiencing are two different things after all, and any situation must be met by oneself to have a complete impression.

The selected girls were like a beautiful scenery, and I looked among the girls at the back of the line, and the next second I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Xiaoling, Xiaoling." My eyes flickered, and it turned out that at the end of the line was the Gu Qimei I almost met by a horse at the entrance of the alley.

"I borrowed it." She said hello apologetically to a girl behind me, who had a good temper and agreed to switch places with her.

In this way, Gu Qimei changed to the position behind me, and the two of us stood together.

When I was queuing at the door just now, there was a girl who had a few quarrels over the order of priority, and I looked at the girl who automatically lined up last. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Thinking back to just now, outside the walls of the yamen, it seemed that there were girls who reluctantly said goodbye to their families, and many of them walked in crying.

I said that Sealand chooses palace maids, which is different from other countries, but according to this view. Many of them still have various reasons, and they are not willing or eager to enter the palace!

That girl is probably the same situation as I understand it, so she doesn't care about the position in the queue, in my opinion, it's actually the same, what does the order of the queue represent?

I lowered my voice and said a few words to Gu Qimei. She nodded and said, "Xiaoling, what you said is right, some of them were really forced by the family." ”

Gu Qimei knew a lot, and took the initiative to explain my confusion: "After selecting the palace maid, the selected girl's family will be rewarded by the empress's order, although the silver is not much. But if you have an average family background, you still hope to be selected. ”

She told me that she has been listening to news in various places in the imperial capital city for a long time since she was interested in running for the election, so let's talk about some insider information, such as a few treasures!

As for me, I heard Uncle Liu say that Dongguangji Street, where Gu Qimei's family lives, is a gathering place for wealthy families in the city.

I believe what she meant by "not a lot of silver". The number is definitely not too small, but she has a good family and doesn't care too much.

Once again, my eyes were on the girl who was at the bottom of the line. I had seen her in a rough smoky purple dress, about the same height as me, with only a wooden hairpin carved into the end of the magnolia flower on her head.

At this moment, she lowered her head, and the expression on her face was a little depressed.

When I came in, I noticed her in line behind me. I want to say what a beauty.

The real beauty is that even the jingchai cloth skirt is just as beautiful, and it is compared in the crowd. It's obvious.

When I went to school before the crossing, our homeroom teacher said it. School uniforms are the standard for judging beautiful women.

The ugly school uniform can stand out on the body, which is the beauty that can stand the test!

A few days before I came, Xiao An kept talking that the wind direction of this year's selection has changed, and appearance may not have much impact on the selection of palace maids, but when I came to take a look, I still found that the beauties in the team accounted for the vast majority.

The girl who is now at the end of the position is the best of them.

"Xiaomei, do you know what that girl's name is?" I retracted my gaze and asked, but didn't answer.

It turned out that Gu Qimei was also looking at her, and I noticed that she paid no less attention to that person than me, and her eyes kept on the girl with her head down.

I gently pushed her arm, Gu Qimei was looking intently, turned her head to me and smiled apologetically: "She's so good-looking." "I was at the door just now, and I saw her saying goodbye to her mother, and when I entered the door to check her identity, I heard that her name was Liang Xue." "It's so pretty."

I sighed with emotion, and Gu Qimei feigned anger, and then smiled and said, "Do you look good with me?" “

Gu Qimei has specially dressed up today, the same purple dress, the texture of the fabric is much better than what Liang Xue is wearing, I don't know how much, and the hairpin on her head is worth a lot at a glance. "It's all good-looking, it's better than me anyway, okay?" I looked at her and replied happily, eliciting laughter from several girls around me, and I touched my face, keeping the potion I had applied in the morning in good condition.

Xiao An and Ji Jiu had a disagreement about changing my makeup, but this morning, Ji Jiu didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly changed his mind, so I kept my eyebrows at ten o'clock.

When I stepped through the door, even the guards at the gate of the yamen were shocked when they saw me.

I looked at him very calmly.

These eyebrows, look at them more and you will get used to them.

When I was first reorganized by Xiao An, I was not so angry that I was going to die, but after a few days, I actually realized that it looked pretty good, and you must know that refreshing makeup is very difficult to do!

It's a realm!

Anyway, none of the three of them in the small courtyard, Uncle Liu, Ji Jiu and Xiao An, came with me, but hired a carriage in advance to pull me to the yamen.

The money was paid, and when I arrived at the yamen, the handlebar urged me to get out of the car, and he left.

I can't talk about the atmosphere of farewell at all, and in a scene like that at that time, I was an alternative.

After a few conversations, the girls around me became a little familiar with me, and the group was silent and quiet. Becoming lighter, several people began to whisper and laugh softly.

The girls who came to choose were distributed in various places in the national capital, and Gu Qimei was very eye-catching and outstanding among them, and she looked rich or expensive when she dressed up.

I was talking energetically, suddenly. A female official with a solemn expression came out of the mysterious big room of the primary, and unlike the gentle female officer who led us in line, as soon as she came out, she swept her stern gaze in our direction.

I was shocked by her murderous eyes, and I was instantly silenced.

Even I'm scared, not to mention the guys around me.

The team quickly regained its composure. It was still the unhappy look just now, and the female officer who looked at us showed a faint smile and walked back with satisfaction.

Gu Qimei saw her back disappear at the door, and said to me in a low voice: "That person looks really fierce." ”

"Well, it's fierce." I turned my head and responded, "Don't talk about it yet, first impressions are very important, what if she hears that she doesn't like you and makes things difficult for you later?" ”

"You don't want you, you don't want to choose, as if you don't want to choose at all." Gu Qimei covered her mouth in my ear and smiled.

"Yes, I want to go in and open my eyes."

"It's as simple as that?"

"That's right. I don't want to be a female official, I heard that the palace maid will stay for two years at most, so I should go to the palace to play. After playing for two years, it will come out, and you can still earn a sum of silver, how good? ”

"Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about, there is a female emperor in the palace of Xilan, in fact, even if the emperor is a man, I am not worried. Look at me like this, it's safe. Unless "

As soon as my tone paused, Gu Qimei asked, "Unless what?" ”

"Anyway. If you can take a fancy to me, your taste is not that of ordinary people. I pursed my lips.

"Ah," she couldn't help laughing again

When I came out from behind the screen, my face was slightly red.

Looking up at the other people who came out in turn, they also had the same expressions, and everyone knew it.

This level is very easy to pass, and it generally does not meet the requirements, and no one will be stupid to sign up.

It's just that I have a question, in fact, in the palace of the empress, do you need the choice of this step, do you need it? I can only understand that I am worried that some of them are married.

The second level is to go to another partition room in the big room, this time with a table for each person, and hand out pen and paper.

When I entered the door, I heard that there were a lot of shabu-shabu, and they were closed at this point!

I had a preconceived impression of how hard it was!

When the pen and paper were handed out, I glanced at the table next to me and saw that the handwriting on it was the same, and there were several questions written on the paper, similar to the interview work steps before the crossing.

It mainly includes questions about the purpose of entering the palace, what you are good at, and what kind of place you want to be assigned to, which is similar to this question.

They set up this level of competition in order to filter out people who are not suitable for entering the palace, which Xiao An once mentioned to me.

I skimmed through the questions above, and the answers were similar to what I had understood before I crossed over, with everyone writing and the female officer walking down the aisle between the desks, her steps light.

As she walked past me, she stopped, and I didn't look up, only keenly hearing her breathing.

I want to thank someone, and I also want to thank Ji Jiu, who has a hobby that forces me to practice calligraphy, and my calligraphy is not very outstanding in terms of men's piles, but it is still very outstanding on occasions like electing palace maids.

Xiao An told me that the empress admires people who can write well, and presumably this factor will be considered in the selection.

It's a plus item

The whole process went down, orderly, the girls in the courtyard were standing or sitting, and the huge courtyard of the national capital was full of people as far as the eye could see.

I knew that it would soon be less than half, so Gu Qimei came over to me and asked, "How?" ”

The expression on her face looked like it should have been a smooth passage just now.

"Sister Xiaomei, I'm ready to go into the palace to play."

She was slightly startled, then smiled and reached out to pat me on the shoulder.

"What about you?" Although I already had the answer in my mind, I still asked.

Gu Qimei stood beside me, raised her head and looked in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile: "Just like you, I'm ready to enter the palace to play." "To be continued
