Ride a carriage into the palace from the side gate of the palace, and immediately after getting off the car, a grandmother will lead this show girl to a courtyard, this first pass, is to check the physical appearance of the show girl, after the primary election can enter the second election, see the emperor.

Hua Ying's innocent body is also good-looking, and there are no scars on her body, so she naturally passes easily.

If you can't pass the second election, you will be given flowers by the brand, but it proves that the woman's appearance and figure can meet the emperor, and there will be more suitors. But if you can't pass the primary election, it means that the woman's moral character is lost, and it will be difficult to get married.

After the primary election, a cadre was led to Chuxiu Palace again, preparing for the re-election three days later, and at the same time consolidating some etiquette with the senior grandmothers in the palace.

Hua Ying was led to her room by the little palace maid, which was all cleaned up in advance.

"Sister?"

As soon as she entered the room, it seemed that someone had arrived first, Hua Ying raised her eyes to look at the person who called her sister, who stood up with a happy face.

"It's really sister, how many years haven't we seen each other?"

Hua Ying was held by her, and then she reacted, and there was surprise in her tone: "Ming'er?"

In front of him is Ilkul Xia Ming, one year younger than Hua Ying, speaking of some origins, Xia Ming's father originally served in the capital, and the two were childhood playmates, but since the age of twelve, Xia Ming's family moved to the south with Xia Ming's father, and they have never seen each other again.

Xia Ming saw the close friend she had been missing, and her eyes turned red: "I finally saw my sister again, but I was in the palace."

"Let's finally meet, we need to be more cautious in the palace, don't shed tears." Hua Ying raised her hand and brushed the corners of her eyes, in fact, her heart was no less happy than Xia Ming, if the two entered the palace together, it could be regarded as a response.

"What my sister said is," Xia Ming calmed down, and when she saw that there were only two of them in the room, she pulled her aside and sat down: "With my sister's family ability, I think I can at least be crowned a nobleman, and maybe I can directly be crowned the head of the first house." ”

"Ming'er is so lively and cute, it is estimated that she will also be selected."

Xia Ming shook her head when she heard this, and said with a sad face: "My Ama is just a fifth-grade official, this time Ama and Eniang asked me to come to the draft, which means that I will be in the position of a small master, and help my brother who has been in the company for a long time but is not going smoothly." ”

This is the fate of these official ladies.

Hua Ying sighed when she heard this: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, even if you don't choose, you can promise a good family when you go back." ”

Xia Ming nodded, and just as she wanted to say something, she heard a shouting and commotion outside, so the two of them walked out of the door to see what was going on.

A show girl was cutting her arms behind her back, as if she had done something wrong, and the grandmother on the side treated her coldly: "A little show girl really regards herself as the master, Concubine Jiang is merciful and spares your life, now hurry out of the palace and go home!"

The show girl's face turned pale in an instant, and her whole body seemed to have lost her strength: "No...... Spare me this time...... Please!"

Mama snorted coldly again, and shook off her hand tugging at the corner of her clothes: "The slave doesn't have the ability to disobey Concubine Jiang." ”

When the show girl was dragged out of the palace miserably, Mama looked at the group of women around and cleared her throat: "Just now, that show girl was bold and dared to go to the imperial garden to seduce the emperor, disturbing the interest of the emperor and Concubine Jiang to enjoy the garden, if anyone is restless and guarding himself, the end will not be better than that show girl!"

When everyone dispersed, Hua Ying thought to herself, that woman was afraid that she would not be able to marry in this life, which angered Long Yan, but fortunately she still had a life, but when she heard that it was Concubine Jiang who pleaded, Hua Ying whispered to Xia Ming beside her: "Listening to Concubine Jiang like this, it looks like a good person to get along with."

Concubine Jiang, the only concubine in the palace who has a son, gave birth to the only eldest prince to the emperor, and is also one of the most favored concubines in the palace.

"That's not known, you don't know, I heard that none of the maids around Concubine Jiang are good-looking, so I'm afraid that the emperor will take a fancy to them." Xia Ming said quietly.

Hua Ying chuckled and dragged her back to the house: "You know a lot of these things, tell me more about them in the past two days."

"No problem!"

In a blink of an eye, three days later, on the day of the palace election, Hua Ying, the other outstanding show girl, also recognized it, and it was no longer a stranger at a glance.

Guide my aunt to lead Hua Ying and others to line up into the courtyard of the side hall of the Tiyuan Palace, now in late spring, there are also a lot of flowers, purple and red, with lush branches and leaves, it is really beautiful.

But what really makes people can't take their eyes off is that these people are more beautiful than the show girls, all of them are extraordinary and have their own characteristics, Hua Ying and Xia Ming found a shady place and observed quietly.

"Look." Xia Ming motioned for Hua Ying to look over.

The woman was wearing a pink embroidered peach blossom flag suit, the cuffs were vividly patterned, and the head and face jewelry were also complementary to each other.

That is the concubine of the first product Taifu, Guo Erjia Lingxuan, Hua Ying has also heard a little, and the suitor who married when he was in the boudoir also broke the threshold. They said a few words, although Guo Erjia Ling Xuan was a little taller, but she was not a short-sighted person.

"Although the daughter of the Minister of Health looks a little more ordinary, she is a beautiful lady in the end, and she looks very dignified." Xia Ming set her sights on Niu Hulu Linyue again.

Hua Ying nodded in agreement, except for Niu Hulu Linyue and Guo Erjia Lingxuan just now, her family is the highest, and it is really the first election.

In the mansion, Hua Ying's teaching said that there is now a queen in the harem, the two concubines are Concubine Ling and Concubine Jiang, the two concubines are Concubine Ji and Concubine Xiang, and the two nobles often agree in one. The heirs are the eldest brother born to Concubine Jiang and the eldest brother born to Concubine Ji, as well as the second Gege of Concubine Xiang, but she is not Ergege's biological mother. The queen also had a second elder brother at that time, but unfortunately died soon after birth.

In this way, the emperor has been on the throne for 16 years, but there are only three children, which is indeed less, the first emperor had eight sons during his reign, and there were more than ten princesses, but now they are all married or married.

While thinking about it, a father-in-law walked into the courtyard with a booklet, and announced the name of the show girl in a loud voice: "From the first product inspector's house, the daughter of the left capital of the imperial history of the Burhaqi clan, and the daughter of the third grade Dali Temple, Zhao Yongxiao...... Audience! ”

"Okay, okay, the slave maid has one more word of advice, ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the rules and don't be too nervous, the emperor and queen mother will not embarrass you. Now the six of them lined up and walked inside. "Teach Mama to lead them into the Tiyuan Palace, saying that they are going in, but in fact they are still standing outside the door, and the center of the hall is sitting today, next to the queen and the queen mother, and they are sitting a little lower.

To say that Hua Ying's dress today naturally took a lot of thought. The small two heads carefully combed interspersed with flat squares stretched out from the right side and a wisp of purple tassels instead of the luxurious step shake, and the left side inserted two pale hairpins obliquely in order not to show monotony, and a pair of white jade beaded earrings. She was wearing a light purple flag dress embroidered with magnolia, which made her complexion fairer. It is not too public, but also reflects the temperament of Miss Everyone, which is gentle and elegant.

"The Inspectorate's Zuodu Yushi's daughter Burhaqi clan Hua Ying, sixteen years old!" The father-in-law, who was standing on the side, shouted in a slightly shrill voice.

As Mama has said countless times, Hua Ying walked to the front step by step, knelt down and said: "The courtiers see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." See the Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother Wanfu. ”

"This girl likes purple, and it goes well with it." The Queen Mother spoke first and looked at the emperor. The emperor said that he would choose more to keep them, but there are few who have caught their eyes so far, and the queen mother is in a hurry to hold a few more grandchildren.

"Look up."

Hua Ying's head was slightly raised to let the three of them see clearly, and her eyes were placed below, so as not to look directly at the Son of Heaven and commit the crime of disrespect.

Her makeup is delicate but not heavy, her eyebrows have turned into "lazy and smiling" small mountain eyebrows, her already beautiful eyes are outlined, and she looks more attractive, and the bridge of her nose is not particularly tall but small and a cherry red delicate lips.

"Zuodu Yushi is also a talented person, what is the origin of your name?" The emperor asked, and the queen on the side looked sideways, at the end of this day, there were very few show girls that the emperor paid attention to.

"If you go back to the emperor, you will be as warm as Hua and as warm as Ying, so you will take Hua Ying." Hua Ying said clearly unhurriedly.

"I heard of you when I first ascended the throne, and when I saw you today, I really deserve the title of the auspicious daughter of the big chess country." The emperor said this with a hint of ridicule, but he just wanted to see how she reacted.

Hua Ying is just the daughter of a courtier, and having such a title is indeed promoted, so she said unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, it's just that the courtier's daughter was born not long after the emperor ascended the throne, and Ama was rewarded for her meritorious service, so there is such a title in the market, if it is not for the emperor's diligence and peace of mind, it is the will of the people, how can the courtiers afford this auspicious statement?"

This passage not only complimented the emperor, but also did not say that he was not worthy of belittling himself as an auspicious omen, to the effect that only by touching the emperor's light could he be fortunate to be a good name. The Queen Mother listened from the sidelines and was also satisfied.

"The mourning family sees that this child is smart and generous, why don't you just leave the sign?"

The emperor naturally also had a good impression of Hua Ying, and nodded: "It's really extraordinary, leave a brand." ”

"The Inspectorate's Zuodu Yushi's daughter Burhaqi Huaying, leave a brand, give a sachet!"
