Volume 1 Harem Tricks Chapter 2 Entering the Palace
Maybe it's because of the cold weather, and the palace people don't want to stay outside for a long time on this cold day, and the speed of doing things is becoming more and more efficient.
Seeing that the speed of this team was getting faster and faster, Qiao Ruo became more and more apprehensive.
The reason is that Qiao Ruoli entered the palace this time to replace the name of the concubine of a wealthy merchant in Lingzhou, although the name and age are the same.
It's just that in the end, he is still an impostor, and he will naturally be nervous because he is afraid of being exposed.
"Don't worry, my mother said that as long as you speak clearly, your head will be easy to pass." When the bell saw Qiao Ruoli's nervous appearance, he opened his mouth to comfort him.
Qiao Ruoli felt the temperature from the bell hand, and his heart was much more stable, thinking that although he had failed in his two lives, he was now a person in his fifties.
This should still be easy to overcome, and after taking two deep breaths, Qiao Ruoli is finally no longer afraid of the danger ahead.
Qiao Ruoli raised his head, his clear eyes were shining with a little starlight, and he smiled thankfully at the bell.
"Bell, bell, it's coming to us soon, I'm afraid." The speed of the team is getting faster and faster, and there are only four or five left in front, and Xi'er has been scolded just now, so she is naturally more afraid.
"It's okay, you two will be right behind me in a while, and you can do whatever I do." Bell said with a smile.
Xi'er nodded resignedly, and Qiao Ruoli could only express her gratitude with her eyes when she saw this.
"What's your name?" Soon the bell arrived, and a eunuch-like speaker asked.
"The little girl's name is Liu Lingdang, a native of Lizhou, and her father is the owner of Lizhou Moët Yue Restaurant, and she is five years old this year." The sound of the bell was as crisp and pleasant as her name, and the eunuch nodded incessantly.
After finishing speaking, the little eunuch turned his head to look at another person, Qiao Ruoli glanced at it, and guessed the status of this person from his clothes, after all, Qiao Ruoli was also a person who lived in the palace for a period of time.
That person is not a big official, of course, he is much higher than the average eunuch, he should be a palace doctor from the ninth grade, I still remember when I heard the word doctor, I thought these people were doing learning, but later I learned that the so-called palace doctor in the palace system of the Great Yue Kingdom is just a small official of the nine grades, mainly in charge of teaching palace books, arithmetic, and public arts, thinking of this, Qiao Ruo finally put a smile on his little face.
I saw that the palace doctor nodded slightly, and the little eunuch ticked a mark on the booklet and said, "Liu Lingdang, a person from Lizhou, is first-class." ”
Then a grandmother walked out on the side, looking quite amiable, and pulled Liu Lingdang to the smallest team.
"Next." The little eunuch spoke again.
Xi'er was a little scared and didn't dare to step forward, Qiao Ruoli had no choice but to push her, so Xi'er stumbled up a little.
"I, I, my name is Xi'er, and my family is from Songzhou Lin County." Xi'er stumbled and said.
The little eunuch didn't look up, listening to Xi'er's stumbling words like this, he naturally felt a little more impatient in his heart, and said in annoyance: "Don't you have a surname?" ”
"Lin, Lin Xi'er." Xi'er was even more frightened when she heard the fierce voice, her face suddenly turned red, and Qiao Ruoli really pinched a cold sweat for her when she looked at it.
After the little eunuch listened, he didn't raise his head, so he was ready to start and directly divide it into the third class, because it was impossible to get a good place if he couldn't understand this kind of words, but the palace doctor behind him cleared his throat.
"Let her go to the first class." There was nothing else in just five words, and the little eunuch who was holding the pen quickly ticked a tick on the roster after listening, and then pronounced the verdict: "Lin Xi'er, a person from Songzhou, first-class"
And at this time, the little eunuch finally knew why this palace doctor was so divided, because although this little girl named Lin Xi'er was only 5 or 6 years old, she looked very good, especially her misty eyes because of fear, which really made people feel pitiful.
And if such a woman grows up in the harem, she may not have any prospects, so giving a good place now may be able to get a good result in the future.
But they are all in the palace, all of them are human spirits, although the little eunuch thought so in his heart, but he only glanced at Lin Xi'er, and then said, "Next." ”
"The daughter of Qiao Fengyu, a grain merchant in Lingzhou, Qiao Ruoli, is five years old." Qiao Ruo was okay from what he said before, but he was almost wrong when he reached his age, but the palace doctor and the little eunuch were not embarrassed, and let her go to the first class.
Qiao Ruoli obediently followed the leading grandmother to the first-class queue, and Xi'er and the bell in front saw it, and hurriedly smiled at her, but she didn't dare to speak.
Because stepping into this team means that you have really stepped into the palace gate, so you have to become more rigorous and well-behaved, so as not to be punished.
I don't know how long I stood there, Qiao Ruoli only felt that his feet were wooden and mallet-like, all the talents were distributed, but everyone only dared to stand in a proper manner, and then a grandmother walked to the center of the front of the team and said: "The housekeepers will bring the new palace insiders to their respective palace rooms, and prepare for physical examination and training." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Ruoli finally felt that he breathed a sigh of relief, because at this time, they were finally able to move, and they would not be so cold and uncomfortable.
The first-class team has the least number of people, but it is the first to be taken away by the housekeeper, because the small insiders here are all people who may become female officials in the future, and there are very few people in the other teams who can get such an honor, under the envious gaze of the other teams, Qiao Ruoli slowly walked forward, but it is always difficult to let go of the heart that can be raised, because this time it is really going to enter the palace gate, and it is difficult to leave the palace without a special will.
The girl who walked at the front of the team had a lonely face, and when she turned around, she glanced lightly at the person behind her, Qiao Ruoli knew that this girl was not a good person, and she turned her eyes away again and again, but followed behind Nuo Nuo.
After walking for a while, he finally arrived at the place where he should go, Qiao Ruoli looked up at the plaque on it, and it was the three big characters of Shanggong Bureau.
The lady who led the way cleared her throat and said: "Everyone is the Shanggong Bureau here, you will go in in a while to greet the Lord Shanggong, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't make a mistake, you will be beaten out directly, you must know that once you are kicked out because you made a mistake in the palace, there will be no future in the future." Then the lady led them in the direction of the main hall.
Qiao Ruoli also cheered up, because she knew that only by living well in the palace could she not be bullied by her drunkard father in this life in the future.
