Chapter 111 Ordered to enter the palace
Three days later, someone came to the palace, and Yu Lingxi was picked up by the selection officer.
There are not many show girls selected this time, the first screening, half of it has been brushed off, the second screening, there are still more than 100 people left, the third time, the fourth time, people keep being brushed down, and the last left, only a few dozen people remain.
Yu Lingxi, along with the only dozens of people left, was arranged in the Hall of Show Girls, and after a period of training, whether or not they can be favored by the emperor depends on their own creation.
Those who stayed behind were the daughters of princes and ministers, as well as women from commoner families, and in this deep palace where women were the majority, it was difficult to survive if they wanted to be safe and sound for a lifetime, without some means and schemes.
The young ladies in the hall of the show girl began to chatter, and the topics of discussion were all about their father's official position, the side line of the family, who had a good relationship with whom, and who was more official than whom......
Yu Lingxi listened to it in her ears, and sighed helplessly, she didn't want to fight with anyone for anything, she just hoped that the palace could have her own place, and the words "accompanying the king like a tiger" were like accompanying the tiger, Lao Yu didn't say much, she understood these truths, as long as she and her family were safe and sound, it was worth it to be lonely and old in this life.
"All stand!" A shrill voice came from outside the hall!
The person who came, it was a father-in-law, Yu Lingxi took a look, wasn't this the one who went to her house to announce the decree that day?
Xu recognized her, when Zhang Gonglu passed by her, he quietly glanced at her, Yu Lingxi didn't understand, and still stood there stunned.
Father-in-law Zhang meant to let her stand in a row with the others, but when she looked back, Yu Lingxi was still standing still. I was in a hurry.
He walked over and knocked Yu Lingxi's head with a whisk, "Call you over." What are you doing here? β
Everyone saw her embarrassed, and they covered their mouths and snickered, these women just like to gloat, it seems that the future will not be easy.
"Huh? Oh! She reacted. Touching the sore head, he walked towards the show girl's team.
Father-in-law Zhang whispered in her ear, "Miss Yu is smart. I don't like stupid women. β
Yu Lingxi was stunned, stupid? Is she stupid?
The show girls stood in a row, and after a while, Mama Jiao Xi walked in with a group of palace maids. Her face was stern. I couldn't see any expression, holding a bamboo strip in my hand, I stood in front of them and looked around.
"When you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace, from now on, you are no longer ordinary young ladies, the palace is Your Majesty's. So, you are all the women of Your Majesty. Speech and demeanor should naturally be generous and decent. β
There were a few young ladies from the official family who didn't take Mama Jiaoxi in their eyes, they yawned, and they looked at the posture that they would be chosen by His Majesty at any time, and their eyes glanced away carelessly.
Mama Jiao Xi is an old man in the palace, she has seen a lot of such things, snorted coldly, raised the bamboo strip in her hand, and whipped it to the woman who yawned.
The sound of "popping", the sound of bamboo strips cutting through the air, the sound of hitting the flesh, and the screams of women, mixed together, are a kind of terrifying torture.
"Why are you hitting me? Do you know who my dad is? The woman rubbed her throbbing leg and cried out.
Teach Mama Xi not to raise her eyes, "The old slave doesn't know!" I only know that you are a show girl who has just entered the palace. β
"You!" The woman was angry.
"The old slave just said, there is no official lady here, you are a show girl, you have not been favored by Your Majesty, you are still an ordinary person, when you have the ability, come to the old slave to take revenge, the old slave is waiting here!"
The compelling momentum suddenly suppressed the arrogance of those people, and the hall was suddenly silent.
Mama Jiao Xi waved her hand, and the palace maid behind her presented the dress, shoes and socks, and jewelry of the show girl.
"Give you a pillar of incense time, pack up and come out quickly, from now on, you must learn the etiquette in the palace, give full play to your strengths, and serve Your Majesty in the future, so as not to be embarrassed!" As she spoke, the maid lit the incense.
"What are you doing? Can you guarantee that a pillar of incense will be cleaned up in time? β
The show girls panicked, and at this time, it was the time for whoever was fast to take advantage, and those women swarmed up and began to snatch clothes, and some even fought and abused each other for a piece of jewelry and a fan.
Yu Lingxi looked at this battle, and was dumbfounded, oh my God, isn't it just a piece of jewelry? As for fighting so hard?
Mama Jiao Xi watched coldly, looking at these undisguised women, and smiled coldly in her heart, that's all!
Sweeping her eyes, she frowned when she saw Yu Lingxi who was looking stupidly on the side, "Why don't you pick out clothes and jewelry?" Why are you standing stupidly? β
Yu Lingxi smiled at her, "Mama, in fact, everyone's clothes are the same, there is nothing to pick." β
"Isn't there any jewelry? If you pick a good-looking one, won't you be able to get into your majesty's eyes? β
Yu Lingxi smiled again, "I don't like jewelry very much on weekdays, so I can wear whatever I have, it doesn't matter." β
Teaching Mama Xi raised her eyebrows, and there are really people who can't fight or steal the limelight.
After everyone had picked up the leftovers and ran to change their clothes, Yu Lingxi slowly walked over, picked up the dress, and there was not much jewelry left on the plate, only a jade bracelet, a few silk flowers, and a silk embroidered fan.
She picked it up, "That's enough." β
Walking into the room, several people fought because of a mirror, you fight for me, it's not lively, Yu Lingxi sighed helplessly, this is the environment she will live in the future, thinking of this, I feel sad for a while.
Teaching Mama Xi counted the time, and after half a pillar of incense, only Yu Lingxi walked out first, and she stood there quietly, waiting for the others to come out.
The time of a pillar of incense passed quickly, and Mama Jiao Xi was already impatient to wait, "Isn't it okay yet?" Half a pillar of incense has come out, and now two pillars of incense have been burned, when are you going to let the old slave wait? β
Her voice was amazingly loud, and in the empty hall of the show girl, there was only her voice.
The other show girls ran out in a panic, some of their clothes were not yet ready, and some of their hair was still messy, and their messy appearance made Mama Jiaoxi frown.
"I really don't know, how long do you usually spend grooming?"
After some reprimand, Mama entered the topic, she put the rules of the palace, the etiquette that the show girls had to learn, how to call the master, what to pay attention to when eating, how much to eat, how to laugh, what Cheng dΓΉ is called elegance, how to walk posture, how big steps to take......... And so on and so forth, and all poured out.
Yu Lingxi was stunned, and suddenly felt a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, Dad, I want to go home!
All morning, everyone was practicing sitting, walking, repeatedly, checking one by one, Yu Lingxi was used to it at home, some habits had already been set, and it was a problem to change them.
"Smile without showing teeth, are you grinning to tell others that your teeth are white?"
Saying this, everyone began to laugh. The woman who was being instructed by Mama suddenly turned red.
"Who's laughing?"
The cold voice made everyone tremble, and at this time, it was quieter than ever.
