After breakfast, the two went to wait in front of the inner gate of Chuxiu Palace, which is the place where they teach every day.

The palace where the two live is close, it's still early, and there are not many people at the moment, and the people present are all dressed in show girl palace clothes without exception.

Luo Xinfang whispered: "Thanks to Sister Zhi'er, you took precautions and chose such a good place to live. ”

Lin Xizhi smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little more rest than others." ”

It was still early before the stipulated time, but the female officer had already arrived, and the female officer looked around at the people who had arrived, and secretly had a plan in her heart.

Seeing this, the two stopped chatting and stood aside in a proper manner.

The young ladies to be selected arrived one after another, and even Wei Qingshuang was wearing a show girl's palace dress, which made Luo Xinfang a little surprised.

When the female instructor saw that everyone had arrived, she began to talk at length. The expressions of the people present were different, some were serious, some were panicked, some were bored, and some were disdainful.

By the time the rules of teaching female officials were finally finished, there were already several delicate and frail young ladies who couldn't stand anymore.

"Do you understand what I just said?" The female instructor asked in a loud voice.

"Understood." A group of show girls leaned over in response, looking like a tumbling pink wave from a distance.

Only then did the female teacher say with satisfaction: "Since you understand, then everyone will practice standing posture here for an hour, and after an hour, I will take you to a special palace room for the primary election." ”

The primary election of the rite selection, to put it bluntly, is a physical examination. As long as she is an innocent girl, she is also good-looking, and there is no problem in entering the palace.

The selection is different, and the degree of pickiness is comparable to that of the imperial examination.

After saying that, the female official turned around and left, leaving these delicate ladies in front of the hall to blow the wind.

As soon as the female instructor left, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the show girls also dispersed. Several people stopped standing upright, and some even began to complain softly.

Luo Xinfang was not affected by these opportunistic people, she maintained the most dignified standing posture for a whole hour.

By the time the female instructor returned, Luo Xinfang had thin sweat oozing from her forehead.

"Well, they are all young ladies from official eunuchs, and most of them have learned etiquette well. But ......" The female instructor lowered her face and swept her gaze to the few people who had just complained.

"You, you, and you, and the one wearing pink silk flowers in the back, pack up your things and go out of the palace, you don't have to participate in the primary election. Even if you are so unruly, lest you enter the palace and collide with the nobles. ”

Several of the show girls who were pointed out by the female instructor suddenly lost their faces.

The female official ignored the pale faces of these people, she waved to the palace maids beside her, and led the other show girls to the Frost Pavilion, the location of the primary election.

The show girls who remained walked past the few people without squinting, and no one showed pity for their plight, and no one cared about what fate awaited them.

The primary election went on quickly, and in less than half an hour, all the processes were completed.

Lin Xizhi's face was a little pale when she came out, and Luo Xinfang, who was standing there waiting for her, also had a bad complexion.

They are all famous ladies, and the grandmother who was suddenly examined asked to take off her clothes, and she had to be fiddled with like an object, and she could not help but lose her posture and had already used up their lifelong upbringing.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both tacitly agreed not to discuss the bad experience just now.

"There will be no teaching after noon, what are Sister Fang's plans?" Lin Xizhi asked.

"I want to go back and rest and read a book." This morning can make Luo Xinfang a lot of toss.

Lin Xizhi also said with a tired face: "Then I'll go back too, I really should have a good rest." ”

Luo Xinfang glanced back at the Frost Pavilion, and the rough touch on the old lady's hand seemed to be still on her skin, not completely dissipated.

She shuddered unconsciously, and hurriedly took Lin Xizhi back to Suifu Hall in a hurry.

The dinner was the same vegan banquet again, Luo Xinfang took a few bites and then put it off, and when she looked up, she saw Lin Xizhi poking the vegetables in the bowl fiercely.

"If you really don't want to eat, forget it, don't force yourself." Seeing this, Luo Xinfang couldn't help but speak up.

Lin Xizhi stared at the green of the table, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for the fear of fainting during the teaching tomorrow, I wouldn't eat anything." ”

Luo Xinfang didn't look over, she couldn't bear to look at the scarred green vegetable again.

Just when Lin Xizhi was struggling with vegetarianism, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance outside the hall, the sound was sometimes loud and sometimes small, and it was not really audible.

The two of them immediately became alert.

"Pe'er, come in." Luo Xinfang called out the door.

"The slave is here." Pell answered the door and entered.

Luo Xinfang glanced at the outside of the hall and ordered: "Go and see what's going on outside, it's still so noisy when it's dark." ”

Everything was as usual outside the Suifu Palace, and the voice obviously did not come from this palace.

"Sister Mei'er has already gone to investigate, and she also told Pei'er to stay here to guard the door." Pell bowed her head and replied respectfully.

Hearing that Mei'er had already gone to investigate, Luo Xinfang was a little relieved.

"Well, that's fine, then you can stay outside and wait until Mei'er comes back and let her come in to see me."

"Yes." Pell closed the door of the temple in response.

Luo Xinfang said with some curiosity: "I don't know who it is, but I just picked up such a big move at this time." ”

Lin Xizhi put down the bowl and said disdainfully: "No matter who it is, it won't be a smart person anyway." ”

Luo Xinfang smiled: "Yes, yes, who can be smarter than our sister Zhi'er." ”

Lin Xizhi's face turned red when she was ridiculed, and she was just about to speak, when Mei'er's voice came from the door, and she had already returned.

"Come in." Lin Xizhi said lightly.

When Mei'er heard this, she entered the palace gate, and her face was a little unsightly.

"What's going on?" Luo Xinfang also frowned when he saw this.

Mei'er pondered and replied: "The slave maid saw that there was a movement outside the hall and went to inquire, it seems that there is a show girl on the side of the Flying Hall who lost something, and it is suspected that the show girl who lives with her has stolen it, and it has also alarmed Lord Shanggong." ”

Lin Xizhi was also interested, and asked, "What did you lose?" Something close to you? ”

Mei'er shook her head, "No, it seems to be an ordinary jade pendant, and it is not engraved with a name, so it is not a personal object." ”

Lin Xizhi was a little speechless, "Isn't it that you lost your personal things, and you actually made such a big battle?" Didn't you find out which show girl was the one who lost something? ”

Mei'er hurriedly replied, "I inquired." The one who threw the thing was Miss Zhou of the Huaihua General's family, and Miss Zhou lived with a show girl surnamed Wang, whose family background was not obvious. ”

Lin Xizhi sneered when she heard this.

"Sister Zhi'er, what's wrong? What's wrong with what Mei'er said? Luo Xinfang asked with some puzzlement.

"My sister doesn't know, this Huaihua general was pulled up by the auxiliary general. I'll just say how can she be so honest these two days, and her feelings are waiting here. Lin Xizhi couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when she thought of Wei Qingshuang's domineering appearance.

Luo Xinfang looked up at Mei'er as if she had suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What is the name of the show girl surnamed Wang?" Is it called Wang Lingyi? ”

Mei'er was stunned, "Oh yes, yes, it seems to be this name." How did Miss Luo find out? ”

Luo Xinfang pressed her eyebrows when she heard this, and Lin Xizhi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If this is a coincidence, the sows will be able to climb the tree!

"How can this man ...... How can this be? Lin Xizhi couldn't find a suitable adjective for a long time.

This question is too difficult, and Luo Xinfang can't answer it.

Luo Xinfang held back her emotions and asked, "What happened?" Has Jade Pendant been found? ”

"Nope. Lord Shanggong led people to turn the entire Flying Hall upside down, but he didn't find the jade pendant. But that Miss Zhou insisted that it was the show girl surnamed Wang who stole her things, and Lord Shanggong was also angry, and was leading people to search the palace room at this time. Our Suifu Hall is far away, and it should take a while to find here. Mei'er was also full of doubts.

Lin Xizhi sneered and said, "What? Just for the sake of her broken jade pendant, can we still search our personal belongings? ”

Luo Xinfang's expression also cooled, this kind of behavior was tantamount to humiliation for them.

Mei'er said with a little embarrassment: "When Lord Shanggong searched the palace, he also brought Miss Zhou with him, and said that since Miss Zhou didn't say that she lost something, let's search it together, so as not to blame the people of the Shanggong Bureau for not searching carefully." ”

Luo Xinfang didn't say anything. It seems that this week, Miss has offended all the show girls to be selected.

Then Pell knocked on the door of the temple outside.

"Come in." Luo Xinfang raised his voice and called.

After Pei'er came in, she glanced outside the hall, confirmed that no one outside closed the door of the hall, and said in a low voice: "Two young ladies, the slave maid also went to inquire just now, and the jade pendant that Miss Zhou lost seems to have been found." ”

"Fortunately, I found it, if you really dare to search for me, I will have to let the surnamed Zhou take the lead in eating tomorrow." Lin Xizhi is still angry.

Luo Xinfang patted Lin Xizhi's hand, and then looked at Pei'er, "Do you know where you found it?" ”

"The slave maid saw that the people from the Shanggong Bureau had not come out of the Phi Xiang Hall for a long time, so they caught a little chamberlain who was in charge of the Phi Xiang Palace, and after asking, they found out that the things were found from the young lady of the Zhongfeng Doctor's family."

Lin Xizhi's expression was awe-inspiring, and her voice unconsciously rose higher.

"Who? Whose lady are you talking about? ”

Pei'er was taken aback, and replied with some trepidation: "It's the young lady of Dr. Zhongfeng's family, it seems that her surname is Shen, and her name is Shen Man." ”

Lin Xizhi said angrily: "Impossible! How could Xiao Man take her piece of broken jade pendant?! ”

"Peel, are you sure you heard me right?" Luo Xinfang also felt incredulous.

Pei'er was also a little anxious, and hurriedly replied: "How dare the slave and maid deceive the two young ladies, this is what the slave and maid heard, and the name of the servant is Shen Man, and the slave and maid will never be mistaken." ”

Lin Xizhi couldn't sit still, so she got up and was about to go out.

"I don't believe it, I'm going to go to the Phi Xiang Temple to have a look."

Luo Xinfang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Zhi'er, calm down!" Now that the things have been searched, it's useless for you to go, we might as well think about who killed Sister Xiaoman, and see if there is room for a turn in this matter. ”
