Luo Xinfang pulled her hair into a flying fairy bun, inserted a tortoiseshell moire hanging bead hairpin in her hair, and decorated the sideburns with a distraction of dotted emeralds and eight treasures. She looked at the mirror for a moment, then reached out and took a pair of jade and ginkgo biloba earrings from the brocade box and placed them between her ears, which complemented her elegant makeup.

After the preparation, Luo Xinfang changed into the light blue jade flower fairy dress that she had picked for a long time, and the whole person looked elegant and dusty, like a fairy.

Even Lin Xizhi, who had been opposite Luo Xinfang for seven days and nights, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw Luo Xinfang dressed like this.

After a while, Lin Xizhi praised: "Dancing like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, what you are talking about is a beauty like Sister Fang." ”

Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Sister Zhi'er is used to coaxing people, but my sister thinks that today's Sister Zhi'er is the one who looks forward to being pitiful." ”

Lin Xizhi pulled Luo Xinfang to look left and right for a while, and said coquettishly: "Eh, I mean really, Sister Fang, you are really suitable for wearing blue." ”

Luo Xinfang smiled silently, raised her eyes to look at Lin Xizhi's hair, but saw that Lin Xizhi was holding the red gold title Nanzhu golden hairpin she sent.

"Huh...... I didn't expect Sister Zhi'er to like this hairpin so much. Luo Xinfang saw the golden hairpin, and felt a little happy in her heart.

"Hehe, I tried a lot of picks and turns, and in the end I still think that this hairpin is the most worthy of me, and it is because of Sister Fang's good vision." Lin Xizhi helped the hairpin and said happily.

Luo Xinfang smiled: "Okay, don't hold me, let's go and wait outside the Tianxian Palace, it's almost time." ”

When Lin Xizhi heard this, she didn't delay any longer, and went to Tianxian Hall, the location of the palace, with Luo Xinfang.

The show girls came very early, and most of them were looking forward to it, hoping that they could be favored by the saints, and then they would be favored by the saints and ascend to heaven in one step.

Luo Xinfang and Lin Xizhi looked at these delicate faces like flowers, and there was no trace of turmoil in their hearts.

For those of them who already know the results, the tension and anticipation in their hearts will naturally fade a lot.

When the auspicious time came, the attendant picked up the roster and stood in front of the inner door to start the roll call.

The show girls who entered the palace entered the Tianxian Hall in a group of five to meet them, and they were arranged according to their family backgrounds, and the first group was the familiar "internal group" of five people, and they were already very familiar with each other.

Luo Xinfang stood at the end of the queue, and several people walked to the door of the Tianxian Hall with the people from the Shanggong Bureau with the most standard etiquette.

According to the rules taught by Mama, several people lined up at the bottom of the steps of the palace gate, and only waited for the attendants to call their names, and then they could go up the jade steps to bow down to the emperor and queen.

"Lin Xizhi, the daughter of Taishi Lin Xiuyuan, is fifteen years old."

Lin Xizhi took the lead in walking up the jade steps and bowed to the two people sitting upright in the hall.

"The courtiers meet the emperor, the queen, may the emperor and the queen have a long life."

"Get up." Xiao Ye's voice on the main seat was extremely cold, so that people couldn't hear any emotion.

Empress Liu Shuyao smiled gently: "Get up, speaking of which, this palace has already seen Miss Lin a few times." ”

"Emperor Xie, Queen Mother." Lin Xizhi stood up.

Xiao Ye raised his hand slightly and said, "Well, since you have seen it, the rules will be waived, and you will be registered directly." ”

The queen was choked by Xiao Ye's words, although this move was inappropriate, but the holy will was like a mountain, and she couldn't put her beak, so she nodded to the head of the Shanggong Bureau and said, "Write it down." ”

Lin Xizhi, who was kneeling in the main hall, was scorched by the thunder.

She originally thought that this was the palace election after all, and she needed to make a show to some extent, but she didn't expect that today's saint would be so informal, and she would directly skip the steps.

Lin Xizhi was full of doubts and didn't know where to start, so she had to salute and thank you as usual and withdraw from the Tianxian Palace.

"Jiang Ling, the daughter of Jiang Su, the left minister, is sixteen years old."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling slowly walked up the jade steps, picked up the hem of her skirt, and knelt in the hall.

The queen saw that Jiang Ling walked without making a sound, and she was secretly satisfied, compared to those who bewitched the lord, she still hoped that the people who entered the palace would be like this who knew how to advance and retreat and knew etiquette.

Thinking that Jiang Ling was also famous, the queen asked, "What kind of talent do you know?" ”

Jiang Ling replied without humility or arrogance: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are good at sheng." ”

The queen was stunned when she heard this answer.

Normal ladies of the family understand that on such an occasion as the palace election, they must not be too humble, and they should do their best to attract the attention of the emperor, so that they will have a better chance of being favored in the future.

And she obviously intended to raise Jiang Ling with this question, but she didn't expect this Jiang Ling to only say that she was good at sheng.

It is obviously not wise to hide it at such a time.

Xiao Ye raised his eyes to look at the kneeling people in the hall, and said coldly: "Ci Sheng." ”

The chamberlain next to him immediately handed Jiang Ling a jade sheng.

After Jiang Ling thanked him, he picked up the jade sheng and played it slowly.

Jiang Ling played a parting song, and the voice was gloomy and complaining, and the poignant whimpering caused people to cry.

The queen was even more puzzled when she heard this.

This sheng is good, but Miss Jiang didn't pick the cheerful and passionate song, but chose such a tune. This Miss Jiang shouldn't have a bad brain, right?

After the song was played, the queen looked at Xiao Ye with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks it's very good." ”

"Remember." Xiao Ye raised his hand to the chamberlain of the Shang Palace Bureau.

Jiang Ling's face was not sad or happy, and he bowed and retreated in a proper manner.

"Zhao Wanying, the daughter of Taiwei Zhao Tiancheng, is sixteen years old."

Zhao Wanying always had the right smile on her face, even on this occasion, her expression still did not loosen in the slightest.

With the comparison between the two in front of her, the queen suddenly felt that this Zhao Wanying really fit her eyes, so she asked, "Have you ever read any books?" ”

Zhao Wanying replied with a smile: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers have read the female commandments and female training at home. ”

The queen asked, "But what kind of talent do you have?" ”

"Courtiers are good at being red." Zhao Wanying replied.

Luo Xinfang lowered her head and hid the look in her eyes.

Those who have only read the female precepts can easily pick the top of the Hundred Flowers Banquet?

"Well, it's good to be docile and courteous, to be cautious and courteous." The queen nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Xiao Ye again to ask for his opinion.

"Remember." Xiao Ye is still a short and concise word.

The queen couldn't help frowning, this is a draft for him, is the emperor so sparing words like gold?

"Wei Qingshuang, the daughter of the auxiliary general Wei Tingjun, is seventeen years old."

Xiao Ye heard the roll call and glanced up at Wei Qingshuang.

"What kind of talent do you know?" Xiao Ye asked.

The queen glanced at Xiao Ye in surprise, she thought that today's palace emperor would not say anything else except "remember" and "retreat".

"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers are good at sword dancing." Wei Qingshuang replied with a radiant look.

Sword dance?

The queen felt that the draft was really a tiring job, in the past she always felt that the palace affairs were complicated and annoying, but now she really wants to go back to Fengyi Palace to deal with palace affairs, it is really good to deal with palace affairs.

"Give her a wooden sword." Xiao Ye said lightly.

The people of the Shanggong Bureau were also stunned, they didn't expect that there would be a show girl performing a sword dance when they were performing. Fortunately, the head of the Shanggong Bureau was clever, and when he heard that Wei Qingshuang was good at sword dancing, he hurriedly sent a small chamberlain to fetch a wooden sword, and at this time, the little chamberlain happened to run back with the wooden sword.

Wei Qing held the wooden sword in both hands and danced. She walks steadily, her posture is graceful, and her sword is like flowing water, and it is like a rainbow running through the sky, which is quite chic and arbitrary.

Looking at the people in the hall, Luo Xinfang was a little dazed.

At this time, the girl who performed the sword dance in the hall was radiant, fresh and bright, like a pearl shining in the sun, shining, as if it was not the annoying Wei Qingshuang.

The last action was completed, and Wei Qingshuang withdrew his sword.

It was the first time for the queen to see someone perform a sword dance at the palace election, and it was not good to say whether it was good or bad directly, so she could only wait for Xiao Ye to speak.

Xiao Ye looked at the wooden sword in Wei Qing's hands, his expression was obscure.

After a while, Xiao Ye spoke: "It's worthy of being Wei Qing's daughter, remember." ”

Wei Qingshuang saluted and thanked him, and glanced at Luo Xinfang quite defiantly as he went down the steps.

Luo Xinfang suddenly felt that she must have been blind just now, how could Wei Qingshuang not be annoying?

"Luo Xinfang, the daughter of Luo Hong, the secretary of the ministry, is seventeen years old."

Luo Xinfang heard the chamberlain singing his name loudly, so he lifted his skirt lightly and stepped up the white marble steps of the Tianxian Hall step by step.

At this time, the two most noble people of Dayan were sitting in the hall, only a few steps away from her.

Luo Xinfang lowered her head and lowered her eyes, maintaining the most dignified posture.

The people in the palace can decide her fate with just a few words, but she doesn't even have the power to scrutinize the other party.

This is Heaven's home.

When the queen heard the roll call, she immediately raised her eyes to look at the people in the palace, and the smile on her face seemed to be more kind.

There is no other reason, just because Master Luo Hong came out of Qingfeng Academy and is a personal disciple of Liu Laoshan.

The power of the court is clearly divided, and only the Liu family is a special case.

The Liu family is a scholarly family in the true sense, and Qingfeng Academy was founded by the predecessors of the Liu family. Mr. Liu is full of peaches and plums all over the world, and above the temple, the Liu family does not represent the family, nor the poor family, but represents the students of Dayan.

Qingfeng Academy has always admired heroes regardless of their origin, but anyone who has real talent and learning, whether it is a low-end businessman or a child of a poor family, Qingfeng Academy will accept it correctly.

Although the family sneered at Liu's behavior of indiscriminate and inferiority, they also desperately wanted to send their children to Qingfeng Academy. After all, Qingfeng Academy is full of talents, the Liu family is a world-famous teacher, and the top three in Dayan's previous imperial examinations are also steadily from Qingfeng Academy.

In order to complete his ideal of traveling thousands of miles, Mr. Liu threw all the things in the academy to his two sons, and traveled all over the world alone with his bags.

Liu Nanfeng, the son of the Liu family, inherited his father's mantle and is now the head of Qingfeng Academy. Liu Nanzheng, the second son of the Liu family, entered the court as an official, and now he has become the right minister.

The current queen Liu Shuyao is Liu Nanzheng's eldest daughter.

And Luo Hong remembered the teacher's teaching, and he was a little close to the Liu family in his heart.

This is also the reason why the queen looks at Luo Xinfang differently.

The queen looked at the slender figure in the hall, and said gently: "The appearance is pitiful, raise your head." ”
