Chapter 352: Named Talent
After the primary election, the young ladies who passed were arranged to live in the Chuxiu Palace, and the next morning, there were palace maids to wake them up, dress them up, and after tidying up, they were led to a tall palace to teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As Gu Hengxue thought, Gu Xinjin has already paved the way for her, although the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all at the entry stage, but the exam questions in the lottery are extremely simple, she just fooled around, and then mixed up, she thought, Gu Xinjin in order to let her successfully enter the palace, I am afraid that all her net worth will be put in, she really doesn't understand, where does he get the confidence, as long as she enters the palace, she can stand out among the beauties of the harem, she looked at the room full of talented and beautiful women, and only felt that Gu Xinjin probably wanted to leave Jiaozhou and wanted to go crazy, will hold on to her life-saving straw and never let go.
After a day of teaching, a group of people were eliminated, and in the end, there were less than 200 people left, and the people who stayed were full of longing for tomorrow, after all, at this point, even if they failed tomorrow, they could be regarded as seeing the face of the sky.
They still stayed in the Chuxiu Palace at night, and on the third day, everyone was dressed up in a grand manner, and they were brought into a large hall called the Flying Frost Palace, waiting for the final selection of the Son of Heaven.
Cui Shanggong led them to wait for a long time, but they didn't wait for the master of this empire, because they had to wait for the emperor, everyone could only stand, and it would be very uncomfortable to wait for a long time, Gu Hengxue tried her best to endure the soreness between her legs, and secretly scolded him in her heart to vent her anger.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps outside the main hall, and before everyone had time to be happy, they saw Cui Shanggong's face change, she walked over quickly, and said respectfully to the young man who came in: "His Royal Highness King Yan, why are you here?" ”
Xie Lingzhen touched his nose and said a little depressed: "The imperial brother said that he was busy with state affairs, so let this king choose a concubine for him!" ”
His words shocked everyone present, Cui Shanggong was a palace maid in the palace when he was in the previous dynasty, and he had met the emperor who selected the concubine himself, and he also met the high-ranking concubine who helped the emperor choose the concubine, but she had never met the prince who helped the emperor choose the concubine.
"This, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Cui Shanggong said with a bitter face.
"This king also knows that it is not in accordance with the rules, or will Lord Shanggong go and talk to the imperial brother?" Xie Lingzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Your Royal Highness, you really torture the slave and maid, since this is Your Majesty's request, of course it will be done according to Your Majesty's words, how dare the slave and maid disobey the holy will!" She is not unclear about the temperament of His Majesty, how dare she anger Long Yan, Cui Shanggong wiped the sweat from his forehead, handed the register in his hand to Xie Lingzhen, and said respectfully: "This is the information of the young ladies, this is the list of concubines and concubines in the harem, the hour is not early, please start with His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”
Xie Lingzhen nodded, walked to the big chair on the high steps and sat down, and after flipping through it casually, he handed the roster to the eunuch on the side, looked at the hundreds of official ladies standing in the hall, and chuckled: "There is no need to be rigid about this harem roster, those who are in line with the king's eyes will stay, and those who don't will send them away." ”
"Yes." Cui Shanggong replied respectfully on the surface, but he was very helpless in his heart, could it be that this King Yan really chose a concubine for himself, his reputation outside was something that the whole Chang'an City knew, who knew if his eyes could enter His Majesty's eyes?
Gu Hengxue saw their child's play, and only felt angry in her heart, they had been standing here for so long, and as a result, the emperor threw the decision to his younger brother at will, and really chose them as gifts.
"You, the young lady in the dragon silk blue shirt!" Xie Lingzhen, who was originally flipping through their information, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where Gu Hengxue was standing, Gu Hengxue looked left and right, and finally pointed at himself and frowned: "Are you calling me?" ”
"Apart from you, is there a second young lady wearing dragon silk clothes?" Xie Lingzhen stood up with a smile, looked at her and said, "You stand in front." ”
Gu Hengxue stood in front of him nervously, getting closer to him, and only then did she completely see his appearance, he was dignified, handsome, and looking at her with a pair of eyes that were clear and attentive, somehow, it made her think of the young man who yelled at her in her dream before.
After Xie Lingzhen saw that she was called, she was actually in a daze at him, her brows furrowed suddenly, and she said unhappily: "Just now you looked dissatisfied in the crowd, and now you are called out, and you are distracted in public, is it really the air of this king?" Who's young lady is so rude. ”
He suddenly became angry, making everyone present stunned and motionless, but for some reason, Gu Hengxue was not afraid of him at all, and her intuition told her that he was a good person and would not hurt her, she directly ignored his dissatisfaction with her, and showed a bright smile to Xie Lingzhen: "My name is Gu Hengxue, and my father is Gu Xinjin, the assassin of Jiaozhou." ”
Gu Hengxue? His breath stagnated, and the pictures that had sunk into the depths of his memory suddenly came to his mind, once when he fled in disguise as a woman, that person made up such a name for him, she only said it once, but that time, he remembered it now, because she said that Gu Hengxue was a very important person to her, at that time, her expression was so lonely.
The anger in his heart dissipated in an instant because of her name, he looked at her, and said with helplessness: "Since your father is just a little Jiaozhou assassin, don't dress so ostentatiously, people who don't know, when they see your clothes, they still think that you are the young lady of the imperial envoy's family." ”
"Oh, I see." Gu Hengxue nodded and replied, not at all that she had lost her consciousness of dignity and humility between the words, Cui Shanggong frowned slightly, and whispered to Xie Lingzhen: "His Royal Highness King Yan, this young lady is so disrespectful, don't stay, in case you offend Your Majesty in the future?" ”
Xie Lingzhen raised his eyebrows and said to Cui Shanggong: "Lord Shanggong wants to call the shots so much, why don't you come and help the imperial brother choose a concubine?" ”
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean that!" Cui Shanggong was taken aback and hurriedly shook his head.
Xie Lingzhen ignored her anymore, opened the roster in his hand again, and found Gu Hengxue's information: Gu Yuxue, the daughter of Gu Xinjin, the assassin of Jiaozhou, has been in China for two years......
Obviously there were only dozens of lines, but he looked at it for a long time, and Cui Shanggong didn't dare to urge him, and after a long time, he heard him sigh: "Gu Yuxue, your father gave you a good name." ”
Gu Hengxue didn't understand what he meant, he had already instructed the eunuch behind him: "Miss Gu is gentle and virtuous, canonized as a talented person!" ”
"Yes." The eunuch hurriedly recorded it.
Xie Lingzhen waved his hand and said, "Gu Cairen, you step back first, enter the imperial brother's harem, you can't write any emotions on your face like today, the imperial brother is not as good at talking as this king." ”
Gu Hengxue hadn't recovered from her identity change yet, she retreated in a daze, and when she walked past Xia Heze, she shook her hand quietly, casting a worried look at her!
Gu Hengxue returned with her reassuring smile and walked back to her position, she looked at the handsome young man sitting back on the high seat, thoughtfully, it was obviously a stranger who met for the first time, why, she felt so familiar, familiar, seeing him was like seeing a relative.
