The selected show girls in the first level will be kept in the palace, and the next day will be selected by the palace and wait for the results. On the same day, Liufu got the result, the third lady Liu Rufang was brought back to Liufu, Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxue successfully passed the customs, and they only needed to wait in front of the palace tomorrow.

Mrs. Liufu was shocked when she learned about it.

"How did Liu Ruyue's dead hooves pass the test! What a damn one! At the beginning, I clearly ordered Hongchun to add medicine to her meals every day, even though she seemed to be healthy on the surface, her body should have been poisoned by cold, how could she pass the primary election. ”

"Mother, don't panic, it's just a primary election, and it will be impossible to pass tomorrow's palace election with her mediocre appearance."

"Yes...... I'm confused. Yu'er is right, she will definitely not be chosen. It's just that my heart is somehow very uneasy, if she is really chosen, then the Hou Mansion will not be easy to deal with. ”

The night of early spring was cool and warm, and the next morning, Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxue went to the Jinhua Hall to wait for the palace selection under the leadership of the palace maid. Liu Ruxue is still dressed carefully, dressed in purple, with purple iris tattooed on it, which is obviously a little brighter than yesterday.

After waiting for a while, the three most honorable people in the palace drove to the Jinhua Palace, and the show girls outside the palace all began to get nervous. When the little eunuch came out, the show girls knew that the palace election was about to officially begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen mother have a purpose, the palace selection begins, please meet the show girls in turn."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he opened the roster and began to roll call, and entered the hall in groups of five in order, and those who had not yet had their turn waited in the side hall. Whether it is the selected or unsuccessful show girl, they will go out from another side hall, so the show girl who is still waiting to be selected does not know what the situation is in the hall.

Those who entered the hall at the front of the queue were all from good families, like Liu Ruyue, who was just the daughter of a six-rank official, almost all of them were at the bottom of the line, not to mention some show girls selected from the Ming Dynasty.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxue's turn.

Liu Ruxue, who was standing on the side, looked at Liu Ruyue, who was still pretending to be elegant, and was secretly proud. Her purple outfit and purple iris are not for seeing. It took a lot of money to find out from the palace that the emperor once had a favorite concubine who loved purple kites, but it was a pity that the beauty had passed away, but this did not prevent her from being selected.

"Sister, don't be nervous, the palace election will pass soon."

Liu Ruyue glanced at Liu Ruxue with a smile: "This purple iris flower ......"

Liu Ruxue's heart suddenly panicked, her father-in-law had already begun to urge, and she was silenced before she could open her mouth and entered the main hall of Jinhua. The five show girls knelt three times and bowed nine times according to the eunuch's instructions, and then retreated to the side to wait for the eunuch to roll call, and then came out to see the holy face.

"Look up."

The eunuch remembered solemnly, Liu Ruyue raised her head calmly, and her eyes did not dare to squint. The hall was very quiet, Xu had seen a lot of show girls before, and the emperor was already a little tired.

The queen took a sip of tea, and the crisp porcelain voice echoed: "I didn't expect that there are women in this world who like purple kites, but they are elegant." ”

Emperor Qianyimo narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Ruxue fixedly, unable to see any expression. The Queen Mother glanced at the purple-clothed woman of Her Royal Highness, and her face was displeased.

"Little nobleman, let's get started."

The first person to be named should be another official woman, but unexpectedly your father-in-law actually named Liu Ruxue.

Liu Ruxue was overjoyed when she heard this, and saluted shyly: "Liu Ruxue, the daughter of Liu Fangshen, the slave cabinet attendant, has seen the emperor, and the emperor is auspicious!" ”

Maybe she was too excited and nervous, Liu Ruxue directly ignored the Queen Mother and the Queen. After waiting for a long time, the hall was still as quiet as ever, thinking about the sound of porcelain. Liu Ruxue quietly raised her head, but she happened to look at the emperor, and her face was suddenly flushed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you can allow a talent show."

The porcelain sound suddenly stopped, and the corners of the queen's lips curved slightly: "This show girl is bold, it's better to give flowers." ”

Liu Ruxue, whose face was slightly red, suddenly turned pale, and she raised her head pitifully: "Your Majesty ......"

"According to the Queen. In addition, I don't like people to hang around in purple kite clothes, so I ordered someone to change her voice palace maid clothes before leaving the palace. ”

Liu Ruxue, who originally thought that there was still hope, unconsciously collapsed to the ground, and the palace maid standing aside hurriedly helped her out of the hall.

A little farce passed, and this time your father-in-law was named one by one according to the original ranking, perhaps because the previous purple kite clothes made the emperor unhappy, and several people in the back were defeated, and finally it was Liu Ruyue's turn.

"Liu Ruyue, the maid cabinet attendant Liu Fangshen, has seen the emperor, the emperor is auspicious, the queen mother is auspicious, the queen mother is auspicious!"

This is decent, and with her light blue group today, her ordinary appearance makes people unspeakable.

"What a talent do you have?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the maid is familiar with books such as "Women's Rings" and "Women's Training", and is also familiar with all kinds of Buddhist scriptures, and knows a little about the rhythm of the piano."

Because it had already been arranged, the palace maid beside her placed the guqin and motioned for Liu Ruyue to step forward. Suddenly, the sound of the piano lingered, and the whole hall softened and the atmosphere was calm. Even the tired emperor was much more energetic after listening to this song. Especially the Queen Mother, because of the worship of the Buddha, she suddenly became interested when she heard the tone of this song.

"This song is very good, and the mourners immediately feel much more comfortable after listening to it."

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's appreciation, this song is called Bodhi Qingxin Song, and the source is a Buddhist scripture song."

"I also heard that you are also familiar with all kinds of Buddhist scriptures. Let's test you, in the Mahayana Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra, all sentient beings and the like, if they are oviparous, if they are viviparous, if they are wet, what should happen next? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, if wet, if incarnated; If it is colored, if it is colorless; If you think, if you don't think; If I don't think about it, I will let it go into nirvana and destroy it. ”

Qian Yimo saw the Queen Mother nodding, and her mood was relieved after listening to the music just now, and her mood was much better. The queen glanced at Liu Ruyue under Her Royal Highness, her posture was mediocre, her family background was average, there was no threat, and she immediately spoke.

"This palace looks at this show girl is much more interesting than the previous ones, since the queen mother likes it, it is better to keep the card, what do you think, the emperor."

"Well, keep the card."

Liu Ruyue walked out of the inner hall with the palace maid, and after passing through the corridor, she came to another side hall, which was full of family members of the ministers, of course, only for the sixth-grade officials and above.

In the hall, Liu Fangshen was quite anxious and raised a glass of tea from time to time.

"Madam, why did you say that this Ruyue and Ruxue haven't come out yet."

"Don't worry, sir, there will always be results. I saw this snow dressed up like snow yesterday, and the appearance is getting more and more beautiful, and I'm afraid there is no problem in entering the palace. ”

"Haha...... Cher is good, with her aunt. It's just that he is squeamish, and he has to be restrained when he enters the palace. ”

As soon as Liu Ruyue stepped into the side hall, many eyes fell on her, and those courtiers found that it was not their daughter, and they withdrew their gaze.

Liu Fangshen got up happily: "Ruyue, what about your sister." ”

Liu Ruyue was about to stop: "Father, my sister's palace is chosen before me." But ......"

Seeing her like this, Liu Fangshen was a little angry: "But what is it, you say it quickly!" ”

Liu Ruyue was secretly amused, she pretended to be worried: "Today, my sister wore a beautiful purple kite dress, and the saint didn't like it, so the queen gave her flowers and ordered her to change into a palace maid's dress and leave." ”

Giving flowers represents defeat, and when Liu Fangshen heard that Liu Ruxue not only failed to be elected, it seemed that the emperor was unhappy, and his ten-and-a-half-year-old body instantly leaned back unconsciously. Then he waved his hand to signal to go home, and the step-wife followed behind, and Liu Ruyue naturally followed back with the carriage.
