Although it is said that whether it is a royal family or a noble family, there are often children with a rotten life, but if it is really about marriage, it is more cautious. As for the girls' homes, they are very strict.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiao'er really got mixed up with the Nine Emperor Princes, and this kind of practice is either a desperate gamble, or a chance of winning with a handle in hand. It's hard to say now, but it finally makes Qiao Qiaoer's words a little credible.

Xia Xiaodong decided to be more vigilant.

……

……

Before dawn on the second day, someone from the palace came to call - in fact, there was no need to call, most of the show girls had already gotten up and were putting on makeup with the help of the really bad lights.

Xia Xiaodong routinely drew an ugly makeup. Together with Zhang Wenjuan, they coincidentally sewed the top and bottom of the shirt in one place, so as not to have any temporary situation.

The show girls were not allowed to wear cloaks to keep out the cold, and when they gathered together, there were quite a few people who loved to be slim and refused to wear more, and they were shivering from the cold.

Everyone doesn't dare to eat more breakfast, one is nervous and has no appetite, and the other is that if you eat too much, you need to go to convenience, which is simply an extraordinary trouble, or it is better to save it.

When I arrived in Miyagi, it was already dawn.

The neat team of show girls attracted the attention of countless young masters and palace eunuchs, but there were no groups of people who came to watch, most of them just looked at each other from a distance.

After practicing etiquette and standing skills for many days, the skills were fully demonstrated at this time, and the show girls stood until almost lunchtime before they began to be summoned to enter in batches.

It didn't take long for it to stop again, and it was estimated that the emperor's boss had gone to dinner, and this time he waited until the end of the afternoon before continuing.

When it was Xia Xiaodong's turn, Shen Shi had passed a little while.

Like the situation that has been rehearsed countless times, first stand aside and wait, and then follow the guidance of the female celebrant similar to singing, the six show girls walked forward in turn, walked to the middle and then turned around, and then came to the ground with five bodies, and then stood honestly for the family to choose.

As soon as Xia Xiaodong entered, he peeked up.

The only uncle in the middle should be the emperor and his old man. is very different from the dazzling image of bright yellow in his imagination, the emperor is wearing a black dress, which is not very clear, but he feels like a very kind old man.

There are two or three dressed women on the left and right of the emperor, of course, they are the concubines with heads and faces in the palace, helping the emperor to be a staff officer.

There is no Queen Lu.

Xia Xiaodong deliberately did his homework, and on such an occasion, the queen in costume is very characteristic - she should wear a phoenix crown of double dragons and a single phoenix on her head.

Different from the ceremonial crown of the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes used for canonization, temple worship, and court meetings, this less exaggerated phoenix crown is also very recognizable. The two dragons are in the shape of flying on both sides, and there are ruyi cloud heads made of filigree craftsmanship under them, and the dragon head is a long jewelry charm at the mouth. In the center of the crown is a golden phoenix with wings spread and various jewels in its mouth.

Now, although the heads of those women are also surrounded by beads, there is clearly no such thing.

Empress Lu is definitely not sick.

If the queen is sick, it must be to reschedule the draft, not to make the queen absent.

Xia Xiaodong honestly stood at the end with his hands down, listening to the female official report the origin, name and age of each show girl. From time to time, there was a small sound of laughter floating in the wind, but I couldn't hear a word.

In this way, there is no great event in the palace - otherwise, the emperor would not have such a good mood.

Uh, no, maybe the emperor is in a good mood because of something happened to the queen. The happiness point of the legendary scumbag is not to be promoted to get rich and die of his wife.

In Xia Xiaodong's thoughts, the long voice of the female official came to his ears: "Xia Xiaodong, the eldest daughter of the commander of Suzhou in Xuannan Province, Xia Bashan——"

Each of the show girls whose names are read has to take a step forward to show that they have heard it and confirm that it is the person who is present.

Xia Xiaodong looked up and saw that the other five were all one step ahead, and sure enough, it was his own, so he hurriedly took a step forward, bowed, and then continued to stand.

There was a sudden silence above, maybe it was just a psychological effect.

At this moment, Xia Xiaodong suddenly felt that perhaps, being directly assigned to Ning Junwu for marriage was the best situation.

There doesn't seem to be anything bad about it.

To marry someone is to marry his family.

One is one. It's man-made, can this kind of thing really stump people? It's just a little annoying.

It's just ......, after a short moment that seems to be incomparably long and incomparably short, Xia Xiaodong's eyes swept a gently waving hand out of the corner of his eyes.

It's, it's okay? It's over?

Immediately, a grandmother led this group of show girls down.

None were selected.

Xia Xiaodong felt strange in his heart, I don't know if he was more fortunate or more disappointed.

Stepping back from the emperor, the show girls immediately relaxed, and the more familiar Qiu girl grabbed Xia Xiaodong and sighed: "Oh, my mother, it's finally over." When I saw the emperor just now, I was so scared that my heart almost didn't jump. ”

The grandmother in front turned her head to look over, and did not reprimand, but pointed to a side hall next to her, signaling that everyone could go over and rest.

There are already many people in the side hall, Xia Xiaodong paid attention to it, but did not find Lu Yunzhi or Lu Yunsheng, it seems that they have completely withdrawn from the draft, and they did not come directly from home today.

Miss Qin Si swam in front of Xia Xiaodong like a fish, and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xiaodong! Why are you here? ”

Xia Xiaodong looked at her inexplicably, didn't she have to come over.

"The selected girls were all taken elsewhere." Miss Qin Si immediately guessed Xia Xiaodong's thoughts, and said strangely: "That Ning Twenty-six beat everyone Tang Jieyuan for you." Why didn't the emperor give you a marriage? ”

I don't know? Xia Xiaodong glanced at her.

"Do you know where the Queen Mother is?" Xia Xiaodong was more concerned about this, and pulled Miss Qin Si into a quieter corner and asked.

Hearing this, Miss Qin also hurriedly looked around, and then said softly: "On the surface, I just said that I happened to be uncomfortable, but ......, I may actually be under house arrest." ”

House arrest?!

"Do you know what's going on?" The matter must not have settled, otherwise it would not be house arrest, but captivity, and even more severe punishment.

"It seems to have something to do with Emperor Chen's concubine." Miss Qin sighed: "Qi is here." It is said that Emperor Chen herself tried her best to excuse the queen, saying that it was nothing. That's why things froze, and it's still being investigated. ”

If the victim does not admit to being killed, then of course the matter will be difficult to handle.

"So, Imperial Concubine Chen is actually fine?" Xia Xiaodong felt a little relieved in his heart, even if he said that the queen made it bad in the end, there was still a big difference between this success and attempt.
