Ling Qixuan is famous, and there is no one in the house who serves intimately, this selection, the girls of the right age in the Dongling Empire rushed to Gyeonggi like heads, and the number was quite large.

According to the ancestral system, these women had to go through eight selections before they could determine the last two side concubines. The emperor specially allocated the Yunluo Palace to the eight sons to choose concubines, showing the emperor's favor for him.

Outside the Yunluo Palace, two rows of silk flowers made of red satin extend from the inner room of the main hall to the outer door, the whole courtyard reveals the joy, everyone in the courtyard even walks with their heads held high one by one, can take on this heavy responsibility, only feel that the scenery is infinite.

According to the ancestral system, the emperor should have sent palace people to various regions to select women of good families, and these selected women should be elected in Beijing at the beginning of the general election. This time, there was a special exception, and these people spontaneously applied for the election, and the imperial court not only saved a lot of money, but also the number of participants was unprecedented.

Lan Junyao led them to the outside of the Yunluo Palace, and explained to the little eunuchs to organize each of them into a line of 100 people and enter the Yunluo Hall in a team. I haven't slept well for the past few days, and Lan Junyao just sat down on the stool, and then she felt a sense of exhaustion coming over her, thinking that they might not be able to enter the hall for a while, so she squinted slightly on the armrest with her head tilted to the side with her hands.

Seeing this, Xiao Lianzi walked behind her lightly and pinched her sore shoulders for her, "Xiuyi, you can rest, and they will wake you up when they arrive at the slave." ”

These little eunuchs rejoiced in their hearts, and their subordinates were not sloppy in their work. In just two quarters of an hour, the 10,000-strong brigade outside the hall had been cleaned up, and Lan Junyao was dressed and straightened up from her chair.

More than 100 women stood quietly in the courtyard after the salute, Lan Junyao held the gift book in her hand, Xiao Lianzi stood at the bottom, pinching her sharp voice and calling her name one by one.

After several women were removed from the ceremonial book one after another, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little solemn, and the rest of the people couldn't help but feel nervous, and even a few people trembled all around, Lan Junyao's gaze swept over these people, and a sigh flashed in his eyes.

This is already the last group, Lan Junyao's body that was originally sitting upright was slightly tilted, and her face under the white gauze was full of tiredness, and when more than 10,000 women looked at it, she only felt dizzy, and she couldn't hide from such a hard work.

Among the hundreds of people, Lan Junyao looked at the past for the first time, only two people could enter the eyes, the woman in the green dress changed her clothes, also covered with gauze, and Yan Ruyu stood side by side, like a swaying wildflower quietly blooming.

"Gyeonggi squire Yan Bingcun is only a woman Yan Ruyu, nineteen years old. ”

"Jiang Zhirong, the daughter of the county Cheng of Luyuan County, is eighteen years old. ”

......

After this round of selection, it was almost dusk, the remnant sun was like fire, hanging obliquely on the willow tops, several red clouds around each other, more than 10,000 people went to ninety, only a thousand people remained, Xiao Lianzi picked the lamp and stood beside Lan Junyao.

Looking at the more than 1,000 women standing below, Lan Junyao got up from her seat, unconsciously she had been sitting all day today, and at this moment she only felt numb in her calves and stiff back spine, "Let's go back and rest, and come back early tomorrow morning." ”

Jiang Zhirong was still in a trance, as if she didn't expect to stay. Looking at Jing'an Xiuyi, who was walking slowly in front of her, her eyes flashed with envy and gratitude, and in a blink of an eye, she changed to confusion, the second of the eight choices has gone, and the results of the remaining six choices are still unpredictable, I don't know if she is lucky enough to get the mercy of the prince.

Lan Junyao couldn't wait to kick off her shoes when she returned to the dormitory, stretched her limbs and lay flat on the bed, only feeling indescribably comfortable, she couldn't imagine that his choice of a side concubine was such a battle, if he chose a concubine, wouldn't it be worthy of the emperor's choice of concubine.

Xiao Lianzi specially instructed the maid to make a few thick quilts for her, she rolled on the bed, only to feel as if she was in the clouds, the soft touch soothed her tired body, lying like this, her thoughts were unconscious but drifted away.

In the confusion, I only felt that I had walked into a never-ending road, only a zhang more than a foot wide, and there was a bottomless abyss on both sides. She looked back and saw that the way she had come had disappeared, and she had no choice but to keep walking.

About an hour later, Lan Junyao stopped, sat in place and beat her sore calves, this way, not even half a figure was seen, she wanted to go out, but she couldn't find an exit.

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid you'll never get out. Lan Junyao muttered, her brain began to work, thinking about how to get out of here.

At this moment, he saw that the abyss on both sides of his side suddenly disappeared, replaced by two cool walls, Lan Junyao didn't have time to be surprised, but saw one figure after another emerging from the wall, spreading along the wall, at this moment the figure seemed to be alive, or complaining, or infatuated, or sad, standing on the wall in a daze.

Lan Junyao was surprised in her heart, got up and slowly observed, and when she got closer, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, pointing to the characters on the wall, unable to speak.

The painting on this wall is actually a legendary woman - Queen Huang, that day I saw the palace people sorting out the album, and saw the woman in the prime of life on the paper, she stood there like that, as if she was out of place with this world, and the corners of her eyes were irrepressibly sad. Somehow, her heart was touched, and she longed to appear in front of her immediately and soothe the sadness between her brows.

Looking at the mural one after another, it turned out that this mural was the legendary life of this woman, and the love-hate dispute between her and the emperor was also among them. Lan Junyao was in awe and carefully read her story.

After seeing the murals, I realized that her life was slightly different from the world. In this long picture, there is a crucial figure, but the world has not spread it, when the queen is emotional for the emperor or sad, he will always be by her side, and even the final departure of the queen is also thanks to her help.

The picture scroll has come to an end, and the story comes to an abrupt end after the departure of the queen of the phoenix, but Lan Junyao feels as if a big stone has been pressed in her heart, not only feeling her bumpy life, but also anxious to know that she has been happy after leaving.

Such a wanton and bright woman was finally weakened by the cage-like palace walls, and the last bit of sunshine in her heart was disintegrated by the slightest trace of conspiracy and intrigues, and finally separated from the emperor.

Thinking of her standing on a high platform in red, with her back to the emperor, she spit out an oath "If there is an afterlife, I only wish to never know the king again", jumped up, and the resolute figure was like a butterfly fighting fire, which only made people sad.

Lan Junyao hadn't recovered from it yet, only to feel the golden light in front of her, her body gradually dissolved, and everything here was also annihilated.

"Lord Xiuyi, are you up? The thousand people selected yesterday are already waiting in the Yunluo Palace. ”
