This kind of training will last for a total of ten days, and then a martial arts competition with a certain level will be arranged, which is very different from what Shen Yan'er imagined at the beginning. She originally thought that after entering the palace, there would be military attachés to conduct devil training for them, but she didn't expect it to be ordinary etiquette education.

In short, all show girls who pass the guò first test are eligible to be concubines, but the specific level is determined according to the martial arts competition. Even if Shen Yan'er is the last one at the bottom, she is at least a talented person who can continue to stay in the harem.

In the morning, the training lasted for half a day, and in the afternoon, the palace maids and eunuchs sent all kinds of clothes and utensils, and the show girls went back to their rooms to clean up and arrange. Shen Yan'er finally got the time to be alone with Jinghao, and pulled her to interrogate her carefully, until she was sure that she was really just an ordinary palace maid.

If you have to say it, Jing Hao and Ah Zhen have a great similarity in connotation in addition to their appearance and body type. That is, they both have a sweet and good voice, Ah Zhen used to sing for a living, and Jing Hao is a dancing palace maid in Si Lesi.

Jing Hao also hummed a few hometown tunes to Shen Yan'er, which was melodious as if a yellow bird was singing, and Shen Yan'er was fascinated and full of feelings. Jing Hao, even the expression between her eyebrows and eyes was very similar to Ah Zhen, and Shen Yan'er looked at her memory and became in a trance, as if she had returned to the past.

As a result, the two patronized the conversation, and were busy cleaning up the room near evening. When the maid of the imperial dining room brought dinner, she saw that the table and bamboo couch were piled with all kinds of cloth and bedding, and she didn't know where to put the food. Shen Yan'er had no choice but to move all the sundries piled on the table to the bed, and finally made room for eating.

The dinner delivered was three dishes and one soup, and it must have been too much for one person to eat. But no matter how Shen Yan'er beckoned Jing Hao to sit down together, and said that after closing the doors and windows to make sure no one saw her, Jing Hao didn't dare to agree, and shook her head and waved her hands to hide against the wall.

Just as they were tugging, a dry cough suddenly came from the door. Shen Yan'er shrank her shoulders in fright, and subconsciously turned her head to look back, only to see Izumo standing at the door, looking at the mess in the room with a straight face.

Izumo glared at Jing Hao fiercely and reprimanded, "The rooms of the other show girls have long been cleaned up, only here is the mess." If you dare to be so lazy in the future, I will send you back to Seleth. ”

Jing Hao was trained to bow her head and not dare to say anything, Shen Yan'er stepped forward to protect Jing Hao, and said, "Jing Hao is not lazy at all, it's all because I kept pulling her to talk and delayed her work." If you have to get her back to Seleth, I'll move in with her. ”

"I don't know the rules. Fortunately, I heard this sentence, and if it reaches the ears of other people, Jinghao will be hurt by you. Izumo sighed loudly, "I don't care how you used to be like a brother and sister to the maids and sisters in the family, anyway, the palace is a place that pays attention to status and humility." You are the master, she is the subordinate, even if you like her no matter how much you like her, you must distinguish between dignity and inferiority. ”

Shen Yan'er could hear from Izumo's tone that she didn't really want to blame herself, so she got cheap and sold a good job, and replied meekly: "Yes, obey." I will never let you worry about it again. After finishing speaking, he hurriedly asked again: "By the way, what are you doing with me?" ”

"There's a good thing to inform you." Only then did Izumo remember the topic, and walked into the room and said solemnly, "I just sent an edict from the imperial maid to the emperor, saying that you will be allowed to go home for a day tomorrow." Rest well tonight, and a carriage will come to meet you outside the temple tomorrow morning. ”

"What?" The sudden news stunned the unprepared Shen Yan'er.

"You're the only one who can enjoy this privilege."

"Why?" After hearing this great news, Shen Yan'er was not happy at all, except for surprise or surprise.

"How do I know why, there has never been such a precedent before. Even Niangniang couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts this time. Izumo frowned slightly.

Shen Yan'er remembered that Izumo seemed to be serving Concubine Wan, so the "Niangniang" in her mouth should be referring to Concubine Wan. It seems that she had already informed Concubine Wan of the news before she came to inform Shen Yan'er.

Although Shen Yan'er hadn't seen Concubine Wan, she knew that she was close to Xiao Hei's sister Baoyin, so she subconsciously regarded them as her own, so she seemed so casual when she talked to Izumo just now.

"Could it be that when I passed by the Shen family restaurant on the way to the palace, I was seen by the emperor waving and shouting to everyone. The emperor was deeply moved, so he allowed me to go home to visit my relatives? Now Shen Yan'er can only think of this explanation. If this is the case, the emperor is really a good person who knows how to understand the people's feelings and is gentle and considerate!

However, Izumo's face was always gloomy. She shook her head and said, "The emperor has been staying in the palace when the show girl entered the palace, how could he see your actions?" Besides, once the show girl enters the palace, even if she dies, she cannot leave the palace - you know the reason - and the emperor will not risk making an exception if there is no special reason. ”

Izumo's words made Shen Yan'er's heart sink suddenly. Yes, once she dies, she will become a walking corpse, and as long as she enters the palace, she will never be able to leave the palace again. Although going home to visit relatives will not encounter any fatal disasters, and the healthy Shen Yan'er will not die of sudden illness, but the rules are the rules, and the emperor will not break the rules for no reason.

Izumo said again: "According to Niangniang's speculation, there is a ** thing you did in the mass grave, and you were told to go to the emperor......"

"Then I can't go back?" Shen Yan'er suddenly ran out of ideas. After thinking about it, her head hurt, but she couldn't think of anything she had done in the mass grave that was worth letting the emperor let her go home. She didn't even mention her family.

Izumo said categorically: "Of course I will go, and if I don't go, I will disobey the emperor's order." Don't think too much about it, it's a good thing to be able to go home anyway. The emperor's grace is immense, you just have to thank you. ”

Yes, no matter what, being able to go home and see your loved ones is something that all show girls dream of. Now only you can get this privilege, no matter what the reason behind it is, just enjoy the hard-won reunion with your loved ones tomorrow with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er made up her mind and nodded to Izumo.

"I have to warn you, though." Izumo's expression was extremely strict, and he bit almost every word to advise Shen Yan'er, "You can't say anything to your family that you meet, see, or hear in the mass grave. When the emperor allowed you to leave the palace, he must have already arranged for someone to spy on you. It's good for you to reunite with your loved ones, and you must not have other thoughts......"

Shen Yan'er nodded as if she didn't understand. Staring at Izumo's sharp eyes, Shen Yan'er seemed to hear the second half of the sentence she hadn't said explicitly—especially the one related to Xiao Hei and Bao Yin.
