Chapter 2 Never relied on red makeup
"Pei'er!" I'm a little angry, this girl's mouth is really bad: "Who dares to afford the crime of pretending to be a show girl, don't say that this girl won't take such a big risk to break into the palace gate, I will also punish you heavily if you say such unfounded words." ”
Pei'er's face turned blue with fright, she used to be at ease in the house, and it was the first time I had such a big temper with her.
"Brother Guard, this matter is all a slave of my family, please don't make a noise. In this way, this girl will be sent by me to Aunt Jiaoyin, so that you will not have to toss again, and I will be considered to have paid for my sin. ”
I took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stuffed a pair of jade bracelets in my hand into the guard's hand, and Liu Jianxue pulled the girl away in a hurry, and the guard stopped talking, but didn't say anything after all.
I glanced at Liu Jianxue and led the child into the uninhabited side hall, and as soon as she closed the door, she threw herself at the feet of the two of us and kowtowed.
"Thank you two for saving your life, if it weren't for the two of you, how would those guards care if I was wronged. Great kindness, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse in the future! ”
"You get up first."
Liu Jianxue was not at ease, and couldn't help but look outside to see if anyone was paying attention to this, I turned to her and said nonchalantly, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Wen Xiuyuan." The girl sobbed and began to cry: "I had a long way from Jiangnan to Beijing, but I met bandits on the way, and the people who accompanied me were killed, and it was my aunt who desperately pushed me out......"
"Don't say it, it's scary. Now in the palace, no one can harm you anymore. I gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, but there was still a suspicion.
I glanced at Liu Jianxue and seemed to feel this way. Why didn't we ask her anything, but she told her about her own affairs?
But what she said was sincere, and I didn't want to speculate too much, just when she had no one to rely on, it was normal for a half-old girl to be afraid when she encountered this kind of thing.
"I'll borrow you a piece of clothing, and you change it immediately, otherwise you may miss the time to face the saint."
Liu Jianxue walked out with me, and wondered: "At this time, who are you going to borrow clothes from?" Everyone is an opponent, and it would be polite not to fall into the well at this time. ”
"Sister guess?" I lowered my eyes and smiled, Pei'er, who I had pointed out earlier, had already returned with the package. I opened the package, and the skirt of the golden silk red cloud inside was dazzling, and even Liu Jianxue was taken aback: "It's really a good thing." ”
When this sentence came out, she immediately realized something: "I said how did your family allow you to wear such plain clothes to run for election, it turned out that you made it bad yourself and hid what you prepared at home." ”
I nodded, secretly sighing. This Yanami Snow is really amazing.
"Miss, you just met, why bother giving her such a big benefit."
Pei'er was reluctant, and I nodded her forehead: "Don't go yet." ”
After washing, Wen Xiuyuan is already a slim beauty, and she looks even more dazzling when she wears this dress. As soon as she saw me coming in, she immediately knelt down again: "The girl is very kind, the embroidered mandarin duck is unforgettable!" ”
"Sister, you and I are the same people, how can we make such a big gift." I hurriedly helped her up and quipped, "My sister is talented and will definitely be selected." When my sister gets the grace of the Holy Grace, she must say a few kind words for me! ”
Liu Jianxue looked at Wen Xiuyuan, a weak willow beauty, and couldn't help but show admiration: "My sister's skin is better than snow, and this golden red complements each other, I really met a wonderful person." ”
Then he took off a pair of ruby earrings in his ears and put them on for her: "This is exactly the famous flower that is all over the city, and the emperor will definitely like it when he sees it!" ”
"My sister laughed, my sister's appearance is much inferior to that of the two sisters......" Wen Xiuyuan's face flushed, and before she could finish speaking, I hurriedly pulled her out: "If you are heartwarming, you will talk about it later, and the palace election will start immediately." ”
Sure enough, as soon as we pushed the door, the shouting of the eunuch sounded outside: "The draft is about to start, all the girls are ready to face the saint!" ”
The show girls were lined up in two rows and walked into the east side hall, and the father-in-law led the people one by one to the Xinuan Pavilion to meet the saint. The grandmother in the palace and her father-in-law discussed something in a low voice, and this quiet atmosphere made grass grow on the hearts of these little girls.
Fortunately, this quiet atmosphere did not last long, and the father-in-law in charge clapped his hands, and the first show girl had already led into the warm pavilion.
I'm a little bored there, and to put it bluntly, I'm just a number, and I'm not so cautious. But I'm a little curious, what will this real dragon son look like?
Just as I was thinking about it, a snowflake suddenly blew in from the unclosed window, and I quietly caught it with my sleeve, and it turned out to be a complete six petals, crystal clear and cute.
Maybe I was too attentive to it, and I laughed for a while, Liu Jianxue was beside me, and shook the coral bracelet in my hand and shocked me: "What do you want to be so happy?" ”
When I looked down again, the snowflake had turned into a drop of water. had to change the topic and joke with her: "I'm wondering if the emperor will also be pressed to sleep flat when he is a child, and sleep with a flat head?" ”
Liu Jianxue almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, she held back with great concentration: "My good girl, why would you tell such a head-killing joke." ”
Our whispers have just come out...... Ah no, the consul's father-in-law, who had just come out of the warm pavilion, interrupted, only to see him twist the roster and point over one by one: "Lu Yao, Yang Xue, Xia Huichun, Jiang Liuer." Please let these four girls go up with the old slave to the front of the saint. ”
The grandmother standing on the side read it again in the same way, and the four show girls were identified and walked in with their father-in-law, who seemed to say something on the way.
I don't know how many pairs of ears stood up at this moment, everyone was afraid that it would be the correct answer given by fate, and the hall was chaotic for a moment, and then it was stopped by Mama.
Everyone was secretly nervous, getting dressed or fiddling with jewelry, but I was the only one who looked up, wondering when another snowflake would fly.
