In early spring in April, the daughters of officials above the seventh grade sat in a small donkey cart and slowly entered the imperial city with red walls and white tiles.

An family has a total of four daughters entering the imperial city to run for election at the moment, An Meng'er leaned aside as soon as she got out of the car, and shook her handkerchief in disgust, as if she had wronged her by doing such a donkey cart, looking at An Lin'er on the side and shaking her head in her heart.

Most of the candidates of the Yu Kingdom are similar to those in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, at least every show girl is the same when she comes, in ancient times, the horse was generally a tool for fighting, and the ox was used as a tool for plowing the field, the status of the woman was not high, and the selection of concubines was just the choice of concubines, and the tool of transportation was this blue and white donkey.

An Lin'er was afraid that her sister would create some trouble, and because of her temper, which noble person she would collide with, it would also have an impact on herself, so she hurriedly pulled her over, "Okay, the small election is about to start, don't worry so much here, let's go quickly!" ”

An Meng'er was helpless, and followed her sister to the gate of Di'an in frustration, registering the roster, only by going to Ying first can she become a show girl and be eligible to run for election.

An Lin'er bowed down to her aunt Yingying who was registered on the side, "The little girl is the eldest daughter of An Ruo, the third daughter of Dali Temple, and the sisters in the family came to participate in the election. ”

The aunt who registered on the side looked up at An Lin'er, quickly took out the registration book of Zheng Sanpin on the table on the side, turned to the page of Dali Siqing with her hands and feet, and handed the book to the four girls, "This time Dali Siqing is the four daughters, An Lin'er, An Qi'er, An Meng'er, An Yu'er, sign your name here, and then hang this sign on your body, and go straight to Shunzhen Gate, there will be a few young eunuchs to lead a few young ladies to the inner hall, where is the primary selection of show girls." ”

Angel took the brand, a palm-sized brand, is an ordinary jade material, polished flat all around, carved with a few auspicious clouds on the periphery, the inner layer is blocked by a square frame, the back is engraved with elegant and charming flowers-plum blossoms, small stamens looming, and their names and family backgrounds are engraved in the horizontal bar of the four sides, which is probably the so-called green brand in later generations.

Shunzhenmen doesn't seem to be very far away, and has been walking through the alleys, but in the face of the tall red walls and white tiles of the four Miss Qianjin who has been locked up at home, and the door is not out of the door, it is really a hard work, and after a while, the three sisters are extremely tired, but fortunately, Angel did not leave her martial arts behind in this life, so she barely supported it.

The little eunuch at the gate of Shunzhen, as soon as he saw the sign of Angel and others, immediately set up a small table for the slaves, and asked the four show girls to come with the little ones. ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao!" Angel quietly stuffed the little eunuch's purse underneath, and then sorted out her manners.

The small table pinched the purse, which was extraordinarily lightweight, and put a few pieces of paper, but I was afraid that it would be a lot of silver tickets, and the small table immediately smiled, and said that he didn't dare, and the smile on his face was even more earnest, and at the same time he sighed that this little master would be a man.

Crossing the north gate of Chongwen Gate, entering the street market in Jingbei, a spacious field, full of all kinds of enchanting show girls, looking at the black pressure of a crowd, Angel suddenly felt that her scalp was numb, she always felt as if she had returned to the square grid of the radio gymnastics competition in elementary school.

Angel really doesn't understand, although the imperial court is strictly hierarchical, it can be divided into nine and eighteen levels, but even if it is selected from the seventh rank, there are too many daughters present, and there are probably more than 500 people who are running for the election.

Angel seems to have forgotten, although the officials of the imperial court are divided into nine and eighteen levels, except for the highest-ranking officials in the center, there are many people in almost every section, or in each official position, who are qualified for a job at the same time, and these beautiful women are all from all over the world.

Angel hurriedly stood in her position, and at this moment, even the most brutal and willful An Meng'er stood behind her honestly, and her low eyebrows made people feel much more pleasing to the eye.

Not long after, some palace maids and eunuchs came to the inner layer of the palace, led by a leader wearing a big dress with a positive six grades, followed by several grandmothers with strict faces, and they were not easy to get along with at first glance.

"Our family is the queen mother and the former leader eunuch De Ronghai, in the spirit of the queen mother, the queen mother's concubine is more hanging, the royal blood is thin, and the daughter of the famous chaste lady is full of **, continuing the royal bloodline, you must abide by women's morality and female precepts, and you must not fight endlessly for the trivial things of Maojian."

The sound of being pinched by the neck made Angel's body tremble unconsciously, it was really terrible, she had seen it on TV in her previous life, but she didn't expect that this kind of voice would be even more ugly in life, if it weren't for her strong endurance, I'm afraid I'm about to vomit.

After De Ronghai finished reprimanding, he nodded to the people around him, although the woman was not smiling, but everyone present could guess that the woman was the Shang Palace of the Shang Palace Bureau.

"You show girls may be the first time to come to the palace, there must be a lot of ladies among you who are nobles in the palace, but you show girls are not serious masters, so everyone is the same, you must keep the rules in the palace, from now on your hometown, family history, and family, whether you have relatives in the palace, all report to the grandmother around you."

After taking a deep breath, Angel said heartily and generously, "The little girl An Shi Ruoxi, a person from the capital, her father is Zheng Sanpin Dali Siqing, the great-grandson of the British Mansion, her aunt Nalan is the first emperor Xiang Concubine, and her aunt An is the first emperor Zhen Wanyi. ”

An Meng'er behind her said crisply, "The little daughter An, a person from the capital, her father is the Sanpin Dali Siqing, the great-grandson of the British Mansion, and her aunt Ye is the first emperor Hua Shunyi." ”

The originally registered grandmother was slightly stunned, and after briefly flipping through the page, she stopped pestering too much, and continued to record everyone's information in the back with the book.

An Lin'er was dizzy after hearing this, and glared at An Meng'er fiercely, she didn't know how she could have such a stupid sister, she actually said Hua Shunyi, didn't she hear it with her ears just now, what kind of person was she talking about as a sister, she actually dared to say that it was Hua Tai Shunyi's niece.

Shang Gong flipped through a few pages, saw the record of Dali Siqing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then unveiled the past, "Okay, all the show girls are standing according to their family backgrounds, and once they go back, there will be a grandmother here to check your physique, but all healthy women are selected to serve, and after the primary election, there is a second election, and Kaolun is a woman's literary talent, and then it is a general election appointed by the Queen Mother." ”

Angel stood there honestly and disciplinedly, looking at her nose and nose, this kind of waiting is her least favorite thing, there are women in and out of the inner room, some are happily holding the brand, some are indifferent, the last kind of person is to take off the sign, sent out of the palace by Mama, a small election almost half of the show girls.

Angel carefully packed a large number of side rooms, there were no special furnishings in it, there was a soft couch behind a screen, Mama's hand was holding a pen and paper book and constantly recording things, and there was an assistant by her side, serving tea and water to that person.

When Mama saw Angel, she said softly, "Please also show off the girl's wide clothes!" ”

Although they are all women, Angel is somewhat uncomfortable, this feeling is like being inspected, but there is nothing to be done, this is the palace, if the people in the palace want to fix you, I am afraid that there are thousands of ways.

After a lot of work on her physique, Mama said, "The waiter is in good shape, there are no scars, just go to the back hall to re-select." Said that he took out a moon-white palace dress and handed it to Angel.

Once you put on the palace clothes, it means that you are very likely to become a woman in the palace, even if you lose the final election, you will have more choices in the future marriage, because your body and talent have reached a certain level.

Angel originally thought that the small election would be more difficult, she had long heard that the general small election is to even look at the teeth, nostrils, teeth, and ears of the show girl, at this moment can be so easy to get by, presumably the people in the palace have been dotted, Angel took out a purse and stuffed it to Mama, and without a trace, she rewarded the old Mama who served tea and water with a silver nude.

After changing her clothes, after a few twists and turns, Angel came to the side hall of the second election, where the test was the woman's literary talent, and the four girls of the An family were all impressively listed.

An Lin'er chose to play the piano, that is her best talent, the piano sound is tactful and listening, and the ten fingers fly to outline one wonderful note after another, An Lin'er has been given hope by Ye Min since she was a child, and specially invited the famous Xixi to guide her piano skills, and she has learned something for so many years.

An Meng'er danced a neon dance, she and An Lin'er are almost essentially different, but because of her delicate body and generosity, she entered the election with her charming appearance.

An Yuer painted a peony flower, the appearance is decent, and a few grandmothers present can not find faults, the concubine chosen by the emperor does not have to be beautiful, but must be dignified, so that he can assist the emperor with due diligence.

Angel wrote a painting, which is what she is best at: jasper is made into a tree high, ten thousand hanging green silks, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

A simple and generous poem, a delicate little regular script, makes people nod their heads unconsciously, both the word itself and the meaning are good.
