Chapter 109: Entering the Palace

Don't let a month pass, it's really like the words of the years, and in a blink of an eye, it's time to choose a concubine.

Outside the empty palace gate outside the imperial city, there are countless ministers' carriages neatly arranged, and the daughters of each family are supported by the maids, following behind the housewives of the various mansions, slowly and elegantly towards the open red gate of the palace.

A delicately dressed and beautiful girl, red, green, purple and blue dresses and cotton clothes, thick clothes and delicate faces, and the fat swallows have their own merits.

Because today is a concubine selection banquet held for several princes, not only to elect the main concubine, but also to choose the side concubine, as long as the concubine is over thirteen years old, she can enter the palace to participate in the election.

Ling Yiyi changed her arrogant red dress in the past, wore a light green soft silver light lily skirt, and put a pearl jasper on her head, and with the support of Mo Lan, who looked nervous, she walked down from the luxurious carriage, followed behind the old lady and Ling Wanrou's sisters, and walked towards the vermilion palace gate.

The little face with a little pink is delicate and lovely, and she is extremely ordinary among the sisters of the General's Mansion who are dressed up in flowers, and she was pressed by the dignified and atmospheric Ling Wanrou, and was robbed of her sight by Ling Xuerou, who was dressed in purple, and was divided by Ling Kerou, who was as weak as a willow.

In short, Ling Yiyi has become the most inconspicuous among all the sisters of the Ling family, and even makes people ignore that she is Ling Yiyi, the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion, and think that she is a maid.

Although Ling Kerou was not thirteen years old, she was over the age of sixteen, and she was born as a concubine, so she followed her into the palace.

Ling Yiyi was followed by her personal maids, Tielan and Mo Lan, while Huilan was left in the Yilan Courtyard to guard the courtyard.

Tielan is still dressed as a standard cyan maid, and today she does not bring a sword, nor does she bring any weapons, because it is strictly forbidden to carry weapons in the palace, unless it is a person who is approved by the emperor, she is qualified to bring weapons.

In this regard, Tielan didn't think much about it, but Mo Lan, who was following behind Ling Yiyi, was very worried, thinking that Tielan without weapons would reduce her combat effectiveness a lot, and protect Miss, I'm afraid that there is no stake when she uses a sword!

Mo Lan was dressed in a cyan maid's skirt with a little powder, and followed behind Ling Yiyi with her head down, she was extremely nervous when she entered the palace for the first time, she carefully raised her eyes and glanced at the old lady Ling who was walking in the front, and looked left and right at the ladies of the various mansions who had different postures but were all cautious, and lowered her head again in fear, thinking nonsense in her head.

At a turn in the distance of the palace gate, there was an inconspicuous simple carriage, which was tightly covered by thick curtains.

A small white hand gently lifted the corner of the curtain, revealing a corner, "Mei Xiang helped me up!" ”

A weak, soft voice came from the carriage, as brittle as a nightingale and as fragile as rain, and one could not help but feel pity just by listening to the voice.

After a while, the pitiful voice in the carriage reappeared, "Master, among the girls behind Old Madam Ling, which one is Ling Yiyi?" ”

The voice was very soft, like a feather, and it hit people's hearts.

"Wearing a light green skirt and dressing lightly, the girl with her head down is Ling Yiyi, and the two girls in green clothes behind her are her personal maids, and the maids who look wooden are not weak in martial arts!"

The man's strong voice came out of the carriage, and although it was low, it was cold and unwavering, and when he heard it, he was a sensible and intelligent person.

"Master, this Ling Yiyi is too ordinary, can't Master help Shuang'er find another body?"

There was obvious dissatisfaction in the girl's soft voice, especially when talking about a body, as if in her eyes, Ling Yiyi was just a corpse, and it didn't mean anything else.

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again, and he comforted softly, "Shuang'er can't be willful, Shuang'er's body is already dilapidated, I can't wait to find a suitable body to change souls, besides, that Ling Yiyi is also beautiful, the most important thing is good health!" ”

Soul transfer ** is a forbidden technique, because he helped Shuang'er do it twice, two strands of long black hair have turned white, indicating that he has been counterattacked by spells and has been reduced by twenty years of yang life, which is still in the case of unsuccessful soul transfer.

If he can really help Shuang'er change his body this time, then his backlash may be his life, or even more strict, his soul will be scattered, but for the sake of his junior sister, he is still willing to do so, even if he hurts the lives of many innocent people, he will not hesitate to do it.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's firm gaze stared at Ling Yiyi, who disappeared at the gate of the palace, since they came to Sheng'an, Ling Yiyi didn't have many days to live.

Ling Yiyi casually followed behind Old Madam Ling, casually turned around and told Tielan to hurry up, her lovely eyes swept over the gaze that was staring at her, only to see an old carriage, but no one was seen, it should be hiding in the carriage.

Ling Yiyi turned around and took Tie Lan and Mo Lan and strode in the alleys of the deep palace.

Today's concubine selection banquet, the emperor asked the eldest prince, who should now be called the queen mother of King Yu, that is, the queen to be fully responsible, and at the same time asked King Xuan's mother Meng Guifei to assist in organizing it, and the place to hold the concubine selection banquet was selected in the beautiful and spacious imperial garden.

Although it is now winter, the flowers in the imperial garden are still blooming brilliantly, and all kinds of colorful flowers are competing with each other, just like the beauties who shuttle through the imperial garden, not also secretly competing, blooming like flowers with stunning beauty.

Ling Yiyi and Ling Wanrou followed the old lady and the army into the flowery imperial garden.

As soon as I entered the imperial garden, someone from the palace came to invite the old lady, saying that the queen was invited! The old ladies and housewives of the various provinces have already gone to Kunning Palace.

The old lady was originally a lady with a fate, and turned around in formal clothes to look at the granddaughters behind her, and said softly, "The concubine selection banquet has not yet begun, you are walking around in the imperial garden, but hurry away, this palace is not as good as the house, and the daughters of all the mansions are here, you sisters must be cautious in their words and deeds!" Hurry up and get into trouble! Especially Yiyi! ”

"No!" Ling Wanrou and Ling Kerou and Ling Xuerou, when they heard the old lady's advice, they immediately bowed their knees and responded respectfully, but they didn't hear Ling Yiyi's answer, Ling Wanrou reached out and quietly pulled Ling Yiyi's sleeve.

Ling Yiyi was bored and lowered her head and played with her fingers, not wanting to pay attention to the old lady's words, but Ling Wanrou pulled her, and immediately replied respectfully, "No! ”

But she didn't care very much in her heart, she didn't come to choose a concubine today, she just came to go through the motions, of course she wouldn't cause trouble and make people pay attention, at this moment, she couldn't be an invisible person.

Seeing that several granddaughters had responded, the old lady thought of her son who was suddenly demoted to a lieutenant, so she glanced at her granddaughter Ling Yiyi, who couldn't support the wall like soft mud, and gave Ling Wanrou a look, "Take a good look at your big sister!" ”

With that, the old lady straightened her clothes, confidently and elegantly followed behind the palace maid, and headed towards the Kunning Palace where the queen lived.

As soon as the old lady left, Ling Kerou and Ling Xuerou were immediately pulled away by their friends.

In the distance, several women dressed in gorgeous or elegant clothes walked up, and a few people walked to Ling Wanrou's side, pulling Ling Wanrou to another place where the chrysanthemums were blooming brilliantly.

"Wait!" Ling Wanrou, who was exquisitely dressed, did not leave with them immediately, but reached out to hold Ling Yiyi's hand, but was avoided by Ling Yiyi's seemingly inadvertent sideways.

Ling Wanrou's eyes flashed with surprise, but she lost her gentle smile for a moment, smiled embarrassedly at several daughters, and then looked at Ling Yiyi, who lowered her head, "Grandmother just said, let me go with my big sister, why don't you go over there with us!" ”

Ling Wanrou didn't want to sweep the face of the General's Mansion in front of these people, so she didn't say that the old lady asked her to look at Ling Yiyi, but just said that she would let them be together.

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of several daughters faded a lot, and one of them said softly, "Wanrou, Miss Ling has always been used to being alone, and she must not want to be with us, besides, this palace is heavily guarded, and you are afraid that your eldest sister will not be able to lose it in the imperial garden!" ”

Another girl in a pink dress flashed with displeasure in her eyes, and immediately said, "That's it, besides, most of us are chanting poetry together, think about it, Miss Ling will be very boring!" ”

"That's it!"

The meaning of these daughters is obvious, that is, Ling Yiyi is not welcome to join.

In this regard, Ling Wanrou looked at Ling Yiyi helplessly, embarrassed and didn't know what to do!

Ling Yiyi didn't want to follow anyone, so she opened her mouth to give Ling Wanrou a step and said softly, "Second sister, let's play with them!" Sister, I'm just walking around here, I can't lose it! ”

With that, he took Tielan and Mo Lan to leave first, and walked straight towards a historic red plum tree in the distance, leaning his back against the thick trunk casually, and resting with his eyes closed and his head down.

"Who am I here? It turned out to be Miss Ling! ”
