Xie Anyi has been very busy lately, and the day of the draft is getting closer and closer, and Mama Zhou is now by her side almost most of the day.

That night, Xiao Xiaohan left after leaving that headless sentence, but Xie An also thought about it all night and didn't sleep. The second **** went to greet the eldest lady with two dark circles under her eyes, and the eldest lady was startled. Fortunately, she told a lie and settled the matter, and the eldest lady didn't ask much. After that, Xiao Xiaohan never appeared again.

"Girl, the clothes you have selected and worn are ready, please take a look." Mama Zhou walked in with three little maids, each holding a tray containing clothes made for selection.

Xie An also put down the book in his hand and looked over. The three maid trays are filled with palace clothes made of Shu brocade, each piece is exquisite, the workmanship and embroidery are excellent, and it is carefully prepared at a glance, not ordinary.

Xie An also looked at it and gradually frowned. Three palace clothes, one blue-yellow, one turquoise, and one pale blue. Xie An also remembered Xiao Xiaohan's words that night, "It's good to wear cyan", and he was puzzled, and opened his mouth to say: "Mama Zhou, I rarely wear cyan on weekdays, but I love ink and inkstone. ”

She told Mama Zhou very clearly, she was not satisfied with the colors of these clothes, these colors were only worn by maids, she was a dignified daughter, how could she be compared with maids.

There are not too many requirements for the clothes of the show girls when this dynasty is selected, it is a palace dress, and the style and color are determined by the show girls themselves. Therefore, the show girls of the big family will be carefully prepared, hoping to impress the emperor when they are selected. Xie Anyi's three pieces of palace silver were made by the Xie family, a total of thirty taels. Thirty taels is not a small amount, but it is enough for ordinary people to eat for half a year. Because Mama Zhou is an old mama from the palace, she has a certain understanding of the emperor's preferences, so she is naturally responsible for the production of this palace costume, and now Xie An is also dissatisfied with the palace costume, so she naturally wants to give an explanation.

Mama Zhou thought back to Xie Anyi's usual dress preferences, and replied respectfully: "Miss Hui, today's saints love delicate and dignified women, and the concubines in the palace rarely wear bright colors. ”

This is a euphemistic way to tell Xie An that the saint likes blue and doesn't like red anymore. No wonder Xiao Xiaohan specially instructed her not to wear red, but to choose blue, for fear that the emperor would not look down on her!

Thinking of this, Xie An also felt suspicious in his heart. Didn't Xiao Xiaohan swear to her before that she would not stay in the palace,

Why do you want her to dress up to please the emperor? In any case, she did not want to stay in the palace, and naturally she did not want to curry favor with the emperor in any way.

"yes, I see. Or Mama Zhou is thoughtful, so let's leave all the clothes. Xie An also said with a smile.

As soon as Mama Zhou left, Xie Anyi immediately called Ai Yan and muttered a few words in her ear, Ai Yan glanced at Xie Anyi in surprise, but still nodded.

In a flash, it was time to choose. The show girls will be personally sent to the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City by the staff leader, the assistant leader, the Xiao Riding School, the leader, the patriarch, and the wives of their parents or uncles, parents, and brothers, and then they will be handed over to the internal supervisor by the household department for the primary election. Xie Anyi's parents did not come to Beijing, and it was the eldest wife Nie who sent her to Shenwumen.

Before dawn, Xie An was also called up by Ai Yan to freshen up and dress up. By the time Mama Zhou arrived, Xie An had already had breakfast.

Mama Zhou asked for peace, looked up at Xie Anyi, and couldn't help but be stunned. Xie Anyi was not wearing the palace dress she had sent before, but a palace dress she had never seen before, bright red with bright yellow lace. This palace dress is also made of Shu brocade, but it is better than the three fabrics she sent before, and the embroidery looks even higher. Such bright colors make Xie Anyi's skin appear fairer and look more beautiful and lovely.

Xie An also saw Mama Zhou stunned there, and without waiting for her to ask, he explained: "It's all my fault, I remembered in the morning that I hadn't picked out which palace dress to wear in a few days, so I asked the maid to take three pieces for me to compare, who knew that one was careless, a cup of tea was spilled, and the clothes were all wet." I'm afraid that there will be marks after drying, and I can't wear it. Fortunately, my mother once left me a palace dress, which I never wore on weekdays, and I just used it today. ”

Xie Anyi's words are full of loopholes for anyone to hear, but Mama Zhou can't say anything. You can't let her wear dirty clothes to face the saint, that's a great sin of disrespect. Now that the raw rice is cooked and matured, Mama Zhou can only secretly pray in her heart.

……

The eldest lady's eyes lit up when she saw Xie Anyi, and she boasted: "Our seventh sister's palace dress is really good-looking, Mama Zhou is worthy of coming out of the palace, and her vision is excellent." Come on, reward. ”

Mama Zhou accepted the reward, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, this is well deserved.

The eldest lady is also wearing red, she seems to be saying to Xie An, and it seems to be telling the aunt who is waiting next to her: "This woman, the greatest glory in her life is to marry a wishful husband, Ming Media is marrying, her waist is also straight, and she can wear whatever color of clothes she wants...... Before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Xie An also went to the selection this time, if she was selected by the emperor, even if she was a concubine, to put it bluntly, she would be a concubine, so she immediately shut up. She saw that Xie Anyi's face had not changed, so she put her mind at ease and started chatting about another topic.

……

An hour later, Xie An also arrived at the Shenwu Gate. There were already a lot of women gathered there, all dressed in palace clothes and different colors.

The primary election went very smoothly, and Xie An was unsurprisingly selected and entered the palace. After entering the palace, he was taken to a courtyard and lived with other beautiful girls, and after a few days, there was another result. Half of the show girls were released from the palace, and the rest of them will face the saint on the second day, and at that time, Xie Anyi's fate will also be known.

This time, Xie Anyi and his party were not taken to the palace as before, but were led outside the imperial garden. The show girls were divided into groups, Xie An was also in the last group, and the two next to him were the eldest daughter of the governor of Jiangxi and the second daughter of the left servant of the ministry, both of whom coincidentally wore light blue palace clothes.

They were led by eunuchs and entered the royal garden to stand still. Xie An also knelt down with the other two and kowtowed to the emperor and the queen mother. For a long time, he didn't hear the sound of "flattening", Xie An also lowered his head and became nervous.

Just when her knees began to ache faintly, the Queen Mother finally spoke, and everyone stood up, but no one dared to look up.

At this time, a magnetic voice said, "That one in red, where are you?" ”
