After escaping back to the Chuxiu Palace, Qin Shujiu's heart was still unsettled, and he thought that he could deal with everything calmly in his own state of mind, no matter what he encountered, who knew if it would not work. When she saw Liqing hidden behind the rock, Qin Shujiu's panic in her heart was probably only known to her. Because this heart has not yet been settled, it is not good for his face to look at himself, sitting on the bed to calm down and be anxious, Qin Shujiu is not right to ask Master Weng to pay attention, and when he stepped forward and asked.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" When asked by Master Weng, Qin Shujiu replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable." Master Weng said, "Uncomfortable? Sister Fang Cai sneaked out of Chuxiu Palace? Seeing that this girl is not very old, but her mind is fine, seeing that she also knows Qin Shujiu, she no longer prevaricates but says: "Yes, Chuxiu Palace is a little boring, so I went out to take a look, who knew that I almost let the internal officials find out, so I was a little scared." ”

After speaking, he laughed unnaturally, but he was also embarrassed by his disobedience, Qin Shujiu looked at it and was also gentle and timid, but when he didn't expect to have skin, he made Master Weng feel kissed, and couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he found that there was something wrong with Qin Shujiu, and he took a serious look at the slightly confused "Huh", and then asked.

"Sister, where is the little grasshopper on you?"

Qin Shujiu had a fine grass grasshopper with him, and he was still looking at it on his body, but who knew that it was gone, so he asked Master Weng to ask Qin Shujiu like this before he looked down and looked down, and when he found that the grasshopper was lost, Qin Shujiu secretly said in his heart, "Oops", thinking that the grasshopper was left in the place just now. Although he was a little worried in his heart, Qin Shujiu was quite indifferent on his face, and said with a smile: "I think it was accidentally lost when I was hiding from the inner chamberlain just now, but it is just a thing that can be seen everywhere on the street, so it doesn't matter." ”

"That's it." After a slight response, Master Weng stopped making a sound, and the two of them were busy with their own things again.

Although the show girl is the emperor's pre-selected concubine, but it is not as soon as you enter the palace to see the emperor, if the etiquette of the harem is not complete, she is not qualified to meet the saint, and the next half of the palace is taught by Liao Shangyi personally to teach the palace rituals. Although Xu Luoxin's temperament is so arrogant that it is annoying, she has to say that she, a young lady born in everyone, is different from ordinary people, and I don't know that because her father has been sending her to the palace since she was a child, the etiquette in this palace is easy to understand.

Accept that arrogant temperament, but it is also atmospheric.

If you don't walk or sit in the palace, every point is undeviable, but it is also tiring and tight, but fortunately, Qin Shujiu is also a smart person, and it doesn't take much effort.

The show girl first had to be judged by the Inner Servant Bureau and the Shangshu Bureau, and only after she felt that it was appropriate was she appointed by the emperor and the queen mother. After more than a month of personal teaching, the show girls who entered the selection should be the top grade, whether it is posture or demeanor, and even family background, they are among the best among the show girls.

Time flies quickly, and soon the time has come to appoint, and whether it will be successful or not depends on the thoughts of the two people in power.

Before dawn in the morning, the show girls got up early to dress up, the cardigan skirt was white and embroidered with a little silver like a cold plum, and the light pink gauze skirt drooped on the ground, wearing a cage gauze painting silk, wearing pink silk beads, each dressed in the same but each with their own charm.

Dressed up early, about the time to get to Mao, the inner attendant led the Shangqingquan Palace, and the queen mother and the emperor were already sitting in that hall. All the beautiful girls entered the hall, bowed down and bowed, and only stood up when the attendant was called, although they stood there like a soft willow, but they did not dare to look up at the holy face, bowed their heads and did not say a word, only begging His Majesty for mercy.

Since the show girl entered the palace, the queen mother has seen it roughly, these are the daughters of important ministers in the court, and naturally they are not bad everywhere. Especially the few people standing at the forefront, they were even more satisfied with her, and nodded with a little satisfaction, the queen mother looked at Liqing and said, "These children are still good." But Liqing didn't say anything, just smiled lightly.

Standing at the forefront are Empress Chen's niece, Mrs. Xu's daughter, and the young lady of Zhenguo's General's Mansion, these three people should be the best candidates for concubines. Because the queen mother liked the etiquette of these three people very much, she chose them to enter the palace, and the others were chosen by the emperor himself. It's just that this hand-picked concubine Liqing didn't have much interest, and she still didn't say anything after a few glances, which made the queen mother a little anxious. was also anxious for the emperor, and his eyes finally fell on Qin Shujiu. After looking up and down, the queen mother asked.

"Then the third in the second row is the daughter of Lord Qin of the Criminal Department?"

The Empress Dowager personally named herself and thought she was going back, and when she said Wanfu, Qin Shujiu said: "Slave, Qin Shangshu's second daughter, I have seen the Empress Dowager." ”

"Qin Shangshu's second daughter." Repeating it gently, then the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Is that the second daughter of Qin who has only returned to Kyoto since she was a child?" The Queen Mother's voice fell, and Qin Shujiu immediately replied: "It's the slave maid." The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "I heard that he is a very Buddha-related child, by the way, what is your name." ”

This time, Qin Shujiu didn't answer immediately, but pondered slightly, until Na Liqing also lost his eyes on his body because of doubt, and Qin Shujiu replied: "The slave maid has a single name, and the word Shujiu." ”

"Loose wine? Qin Shujiu? After reading the surname again, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "What a unique name, what do you think, Emperor?" "The name Qin Shujiu is so chic that the Queen Mother thought it was chic, and she was going to inquire about Liqing, but who knew that Liqing's eyes fell on Qin Shujiu, as if she was looking at something. The slightly frowning eyebrows made people a little incomprehensible, and their fixed gaze never moved for half a minute.

Liqing's final trial made the queen mother feel a little strange, and was about to ask, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Liqing say: "Indeed, as the queen mother said, it is a unique name, and this Qin Shangshu is very literary to come up with such an interesting name." Suddenly opened his mouth to praise, it seems that this name has entered Liqing's eyes. Liqing's praise made Qin Shujiu immediately thank him, and replied: "Your Majesty, this name is taken by my father." ”

"Oh? And got the name taken by Qin Shangshu, that is? Liqing asked, and Qin Shujiu asked truthfully: "This name was taken by the slave maid herself." Li Qing smiled: "This is strange, since ancient times, the name was determined by the parents, how did it come to Qin Shangshu, but the children themselves came?" Qin Shujiu replied: "Your Majesty, the little girl has been raised in the nunnery since she was a child, Gu only has a Taoist name and no boudoir name, and now she has returned to Kyoto to serve under her parents' knees. Nodding his head, Liqing continued: "That's reasonable, but this name is indeed chic, if it is self-picked, can it have a source?" ”

Thinking that Liqing was far more interested in Qin Shujiu's name than her, she said a few more words in this hall because of Qin Shujiu. The name is chic, and there is also a source or reason for it, and the name of Qin Shujiu also happens to have a wonderful source. After the salute, Qin Shujiu replied: "Your Majesty, the name of the slave maid is taken from a poem chanted by a sister-in-law in the nunnery that was fostered back then. ”

"He Shi?" Although the sudden sinking inquiry did not make others pay attention, it made Yu Shan, who usually served closely, feel that something was wrong, and glanced at Liqing secretly, and then moved his gaze back to Qin Shujiu. And this Qin Shujiu was also calm, and responded softly: "The word slave and maid Shujiu is taken from the first two words of the second sentence of the sister-in-law's 'Sheng Song is a song of love, and a pot of wine is a pot of dancing and pouring'. ”

The source is said, but this Liqing has no comment, the sudden silence makes this hall a little weird, and the show girls don't dare to gasp again, so they stand there with their heads down, waiting for Liqing to speak. Sitting on the hall like that, looking at it for a while, Liqing said: "It's really wonderful, I don't know where you used to raise it, and that sister-in-law is still there?" After a long time, he suddenly asked again, making Qin Shujiu a little frightened, but he answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has been raised in the Gudao Nunnery since she was a child, and the sister-in-law is an ordinary sister-in-law in the nunnery, but she has passed away for a long time."

"It's been a long time?" Nodding his head and repeating, I don't know if I was a little disappointed that the person who recited such a poem was no longer there, and there was a hint of strangeness in Liqing's words. But this anomaly is only a matter of a moment, after all, it is just an inconsequential sister-in-law.

Today is also for the harem Qin to choose concubines, the emperor just did not do it but focused on that inconsequential matter, the queen mother was a little displeased, and immediately opened her mouth and said: "Emperor, don't forget today's business." Although the name is chic, it is still important to appoint concubines. Emperor, take a look, there is something to be done in the remaining show girls. The empress dowager's displeasure made Liqing immediately straighten up, nodded with a smile, and then said: "Since the queen mother said something important, then it's the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department." ”

The queen mother wanted someone, so he chose it, but the queen mother thought he was a little perfunctory, and he was very dissatisfied, and finally Liqing appointed a few more.

"Then the one on the side of Qin Shangshu's Qianjin and the two behind him."

Although the queen mother was not very satisfied, she also knew that Liqing didn't like these, so she was not reluctant, but she obeyed his wishes, and chose the three rookies.

This selected concubine is naturally a first-class happy event, and after returning to the show palace, those who have been selected are enviable. Needless to say, the three people kneeling in a row should be self-explanatory, and it is also clear to everyone that they entered the palace as concubines, but it was Qin Shujiu and others who were enviable, especially the three appointed by His Majesty in the end. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is half interested in the draft, so the few ordered are just pleasing to the eye.

It is pleasing to the eye that His Majesty takes a fancy to it, although it is a bit ridiculous to go out, but it is also something to envy, after all, as long as you enter this harem, there will be hope for the future. is always stronger than them, and the next thing is to see if you can become a female official in the palace, if not, I am afraid that you will have to spend your years as a palace person in this palace for a few years.

After the palace hand-picked, the inner servants soon came to announce that the three people selected by the queen mother should be the fourth-grade talents, and the remaining four people were the five-grade Baolin. After the edict, I thanked the inner servant who had announced the decree, and everyone who received the decree just got up and handed over the will to the hands of the talented Baolin, who had received the decree, and the inner servant of the decree smiled and said: "Congratulations to all the little masters, today I have received the mercy of the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother, this is a blessing from God, you little masters, I hope to take care of the ministers in the future." ”

The waiter one by one, the words on his lips can also be heard, but the person who listens to it feels very tight, took the edict and put it away, Xu Luoxin said: "Father-in-law rest assured, this point should be a meeting, and the father-in-law is tired of coming to announce the decree, this little meaning is to worry the father-in-law to accept it." After saying that, he took out the money bag from his sleeve and gave it to the father-in-law who made the decree. If the sensible behavior should have made the father-in-law laugh, he immediately said: "Xu Cairen is really polite, how dare the minister." ”

The words are said, but the silver is also taken, seeing that the chamberlain accepted his own silver, Xu Luoxin smiled and said: "But with the father-in-law on an errand in front of the emperor, it is deserved, by the way, father-in-law, your will has been declared?" "I also received a lot of benefits from this show palace, and I almost forgot an important thing when I received it like this, if it weren't for Xu Luoxin's more asking, I'm afraid that this servant would have to commit a crime. When even the "oops", then the chamberlain said.

"Look at this brain, I forgot another big thing, Your Majesty still has an edict, and the talented Baolin girls take the order."

Suddenly, there was another edict, and although everyone was puzzled, they still knelt down to listen to the edict. And after the crowd knelt down, the chamberlain shouted loudly: "Your Majesty personally passed on the word, Chen Cairen has a pure temperament and is very good, and he gives a word, dream, change to dream talent." Qin Baolin is virtuous and virtuous, so he gives a word, Miao, changed to Miao Baolin, and admires this. ”

This time, two of the newly selected concubines were given the title by the saint, such an honor is really enviable, and they should kneel down to thank them for such a heavenly grace, and after thanking them, they also gave the father-in-law who announced the decree some benefits, Chen Shuyi and this Qin Shujiu received their respective decrees and returned to the Xiu Palace.

Every time someone in the show is personally given the title by the saint, it is because he knew in advance that Xu Luoxin just now would ask more, who knew that this question was asked by her, how would she know that there was no self. Chen Shuyi is the niece of Queen Chen, and she can accept this honor, but what is Qin Shujiu? is just the daughter of the Shangshu of the Sanpin Criminal Department, but she also dared to step on her head and receive the reward she should have given herself.

Looking at Qin Shujiu, who surrounded everyone in the middle and was admired by everyone, Xu Luoxin was smoldering.

In this way, I am afraid that this beam is also settled.
