Chapter 163: The Draft

Time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Early in the morning, someone came to the palace, and a palace maid in her twenties stood in front of the gate of Ninghou Mansion in a dignified manner, bending down to Duanyue, Lu Qingyi and Qichun.

"The slave maid is the palace maid of the Chuxiu Palace in the palace, and she came to pick up the show girls on the order of the queen's mother."

Qi Chun turned his face and looked at Duan Yue, knowing that this day had finally arrived, and he couldn't escape. Lu Qingyi glanced at the appearance of Qi Chun who was still wrapped in light makeup, and said with a smile to the palace maid first.

"Excuse me, Auntie, wait a little longer, and have a cup of tea in the house. Entering the palace is a big deal, let our girl dress up again. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand with a sly face, and without noticing, he shoved a silver glittering thing into the sleeve of the palace maid. As soon as the two looked at each other, they understood.

The palace maid immediately changed her expression, showed a smile on her face, and nodded busily. "What Madame said is that such a major event as entering the palace should of course be taken seriously. The slave and the maid are not bad at this time. She looked at everyone with a smile on her face and nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry aunt." Qi Chun politely rushed to the palace maid, and was about to owe a gift, Lu Qingyi hurriedly held her hand at once, and frowned.

She looked at the palace maid and nodded slightly, so she turned around and took Qi Chun's hand and walked into the house. She exhaled and looked at Qi Chun with a slight reproach. "Don't show weakness in front of others, the other party is just an ordinary palace maid, no matter how polite you are, you don't have to salute her.

Lu Qingyi pursed her lips, slightly helpless. "The people in the palace are all dogs, and they will only bully the weak. These things were only taught to me by my mother. ”

"I see." Qi Chun nodded, and smiled lightly at Lu Qingyi.

Duanyue laughed and ran in front of the two. "Okay, sister-in-law, don't count Sister Luochun! Today is her big day! Saying that, Duanyue took Qichun's hand, pulled her and ran to Qichun's room. Don't keep that palace maid waiting. She said loudly to Lu Qingyi, and waved her hand, so she went back with Qichun.

The two flashed into the house, and Duanyue pressed Qichun on the chair, and immediately took out a bunch of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on the table, picking them up one by one. Qi Chun looked at her in such a hurry, tilted his head and asked suspiciously. "What are you looking for? Aren't the clothes already on? Qi Chun pointed to the blue-green dress on her body, and her face was very ruddy and smooth.

Duanyue leaned over to her, frowning and shaking slightly. "Don't listen to my sister-in-law, listen to me." As he spoke, Duanyue selected a set of relatively plain clothes from a pile of clothes and handed it to Qi Chun and asked her to change into it.

"This ...... All right? Qi Chun hugged his clothes in his arms, looking a little at a loss. Duanyue nodded busily, and without waiting for Qichun to speak again, she pushed her behind the screen. Seeing Duanyue's affirmative look, she had to choose to believe her first.

After changing into plain clothes, Qi Chun walked out from behind the screen with a slight twist, her face slightly puzzled. Regardless of Duanyue, she didn't care about her expression, but pinched her chin and looked her up and down. She nodded slightly, and commanded Qi Chun to sit down.

"Why isn't this outfit just like Madame said?" Qi Chun looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and let Duan Yue recomb her hair behind her. A simple Lingyun bun is inserted with two pink and white peony flowers. She also took a handkerchief and wiped off the bright lip grease on Qichun's mouth, looking light and light.

Duanyue stood in front of Qichun, and carefully looked her up and down, like a water hibiscus as elegant, and the temperament of the mandarin duck in the impression is seven or eight points similar, even the incense powder used on the body has been replaced by the box of cinnamon commonly used by the mandarin duck.

"If the emperor asks you what book you like, you remember to say "Mirror Flowers", what song you like to say "Phoenix Yu Fei", and what flowers you like to say osmanthus."

Qi Chun nodded as if she didn't understand, and Duanyue patted her on the shoulder, and there was a hint of something in her eyes that no one knew. "The woman that the emperor likes is the kind of woman with Hui Ruolan's heart, who does not fight or grab, quiet and sensitive." She sighed to herself. "After entering the palace, everything can only depend on you."

"I understand, thank you." Qi Chun took a deep breath and stood up from the stool, as solemn as if he was going to the execution ground. Duanyue followed behind her and went out with her.

The two walked to the door of Ninghou Mansion, Lu Qingyi looked up and down for a while, and his face sank instantly. Seeing that her brows were frowning and she was about to ask, Duan Yue hurriedly flashed to Lu Qingyi's side, leaned into her ear and muttered a few words, and Lu Qingyi couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure.

The palace maid saw that Qi Chun was coming, collected her manners, and bowed to her. "Miss Li, let's hit the road."

Qi Chun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she nodded and then lowered her gaze, followed behind the palace maid very restrainedly, and slowly got into the carriage from the palace, without looking back.

The jolting carriage made Qi Chun even more nervous, she lifted the curtain and looked out, the narrow road gradually widened, and the carriages on the road gradually increased. Qi Chun knew in his heart that in every carriage, there was a woman like himself.

The palace maid gently lifted the curtain, and she told Qichun in a gentle tone, "The palace gate has arrived." So he stretched out a hand that seemed to be soft and let Qichun get off the carriage. Before he could stand still, the palace maid guided Qi Chun to the palace gate. There have been dozens of show girls gathered there, each of whom is in the prime of life, like a bud in the first bloom, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they see it.

Everyone lined up in a column of ten people in a specific order, and followed the guide to the palace maid in the direction of Chengming Palace. By the time the spring left, almost two hours had passed. The scorching sun shone on the makeup on people's faces, and some of them were weak and had already fallen.

I don't know if Duanyue is a blind cat who met a dead mouse, so that Qichun painted light makeup, even if he sweats, he can't see that there is anything wrong. In comparison, the rest of the girls with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup looked very embarrassed.

"Show girls, please follow the slaves." A woman's voice pulled Qi Chun back to reality from her fantasy, and she saw the girl next to her move, and she quickly lifted her skirt and followed.

As soon as he entered the hall, the temperature dropped by more than five degrees in an instant, and the sweat sticking to his body dissipated at once. Qi Chun didn't dare to look up at the emperor and queen mother sitting on the throne, and the heavy pressure made her not even dare to tremble.

"Does the emperor have a favorite girl?" The Empress Dowager Shu sat on the right side, looking at Meng Tao with a kind face.

After seeing so many women, Meng Tao was already dizzy. But since the Empress Dowager Shu had all exported, he had no choice but to raise his head helplessly and glance at it casually.

In his eyes, he felt that every girl was similar and had nothing to show off. I don't know who revealed that he likes blue-green, five or six of the ten girls today are wearing blue-green clothes, and even the most ridiculous thing is that some girls' clothes are the same style and color, and the laughing Meng Tao can't straighten his waist.

He coughed lightly, and looked around with the urge to laugh. Meng Tao's gaze stayed on Qi Chun's body. This light-colored woman was completely different from the blue-green beside her, and she looked very out of place.

"You, put your head up." He pointed to Qi Chun.

Qi Chun didn't know that she was talking about herself, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised her head to look at Meng Tao busily, a little shy.

"Have you ever read a book?" Meng Tao asked.

"I don't read much, but I love "Mirror Flowers" the most." According to what Duanyue said, Qichun said according to the gourd painting.

Meng Tao was stunned, and the tip of his nose smelled a faint cinnamon fragrance. "Huh? Like osmanthus? ”

Qi Chun nodded, biting his lip and not daring to speak. Meng Tao looked at her and smiled, and suddenly felt that the unknown girl in front of her looked like a person. He waved his hand at the eunuch holding a wooden plate beside him, and a brand-new palace flower fell into Qi Chun's hands.

The pink and white peony flower is really the same as the one she wears on her head.
