On the eighth day of the first lunar month, just half of the Spring Festival, good news came from the palace. Zhao Gou, who had never talked about the selection of concubines, suddenly asked people to draw up a famous post and recruit many famous and noble girls into the palace.

There are daughters of court ministers, and there are daughters of nobles, in short, they are embarrassed to speak if they have a low status. Lu Xiaoxiao is impressively in the famous post.

These are actually recommended by those old ministers themselves, Zhao Gou revealed the news of choosing a concubine after the year, and then the ministers were like cats that smelled fishy, and they all poured up, and those who had daughters hurriedly recommended themselves, and those who did not have daughters also tried to recommend the daughters of acquaintances.

The harem, which has always been deserted, has finally been a lot more lively on this day.

It is not that those who are included in the name will be recruited into the palace, and the preliminary screening is to let those who have daughters hand over a Danqing painting scroll to the palace, and the beautiful ones can be selected, and the ugly ones should be conscious.

As for the fraud, those who use PS technology to fool the test, I'm afraid they don't know how to write the crime of deception.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and you can't get out when you come in.

In the future, there will only be two results in the palace: good or bad.

On the one hand, it depends on the face, if the face is not good, it is useless if you can't get the emperor's favor, on the other hand, it depends on your own background, if you are too prominent, the emperor has to give some face, and you can't be too cold.

Lu Xiaoxiao was among a group of warblers and swallows in this way, which seemed a little out of place. When the show girls entered the palace, they were all dressed up in fancy ways, but Lu Xiaoxiao was not wearing fat powder and was plain faced. Because everyone else wants to be selected by the emperor, they naturally want to dress up beautifully, Lu Xiaoxiao is reluctant to be selected, if it is not for the fact that he can't be too disrespectful and lose the face of the Lu family, with Lu Xiaoxiao's character, it is possible to come to the draft with a cloak.

This batch of people selected into the palace, about 40 people, compared to the previous emperor who often mobilized beauties from all over the country to serve in the palace, thousands of show girls filled the harem, Zhao Gou, more than 40 people, seems to be a special small family.

In this way, it also seems that the competition is much smaller.

However, competitors are also among these people.

When Lu Xiaoxiao first arrived at the palace, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he didn't dare to talk to anyone. But people's personalities always have their own characteristics, like Lu Xiaoxiao, who only dares to cross in the nest, when he arrives in an unfamiliar place, he will naturally become very quiet, and there are also people who are more calm by nature, and they dare not jump too much for fear of causing trouble.

The ones that enliven the atmosphere are the ones that are more skinny.

"I said sisters, we will be people living in the same place in the future, why be so dull, why don't we introduce each other?"

There was a girl who stepped forward and became the first bird, but no one paid attention to her.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed for this girl, but she didn't seem to feel it, and still said: "It's better for me to come first, my name is Gu Shiyin, and my father is Gu Taiwei." ”

Sure enough, this is the daughter of the general's family, and her style is really a little different from those famous girls, but Gu Shiyin thinks that throwing bricks and bricks can make their atmosphere not too dull, but it is different from what she imagined, some people muttered quietly, but the words were clearly disdainful of Gu Shiyin.

The incompatible nature between military generals and civil servants was also passed on to the next generation. Most of the candidates here are well-educated women from their families, and a lively one like Gu Shiyin naturally has to be regarded as a heretic. She is the daughter of a military general, so she naturally provoked the fire on the general.

But what did the generals do wrong?

Gu Shiyin has probably always lived a carefree life, so she also lacks a dim sum machine, at this time, more than forty show girls were arranged in the imperial garden, but she was the only one who made a bird, and the innocence of it can be seen.

In this embarrassing situation, Gu Shiyin, who realized it later, finally realized that she seemed to be making a fool of herself, her expression suddenly stiffened, and she didn't know whether to laugh or sink her face, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look at her so embarrassed after all, so she suddenly said: "My name is Lu Xiaoxiao, can I be a friend?" ”

Her words were only aimed at Gu Shiyin, and those upright and delicate ladies, Lu Xiaoxiao was not interested in contacting them.

As for Gu Shiyin, Lu Xiaoxiao, who opened her mouth at this time, was like a little angel who saved her, Gu Shiyin smiled and trotted to Lu Xiaoxiao's side very happily, saying, "As long as you want, we are friends now." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, such an innocent child, how did her family rest assured that she entered the palace?

Although Lu Xiaoxiao had a carefree life in the past, Lu Xiaoxiao had also learned a lot since he was expelled from Luming Academy by beating Chu Yun.

At that time, Lu Ming expelled Chu Yun from the door wall, and Lu Xiaoxiao's heart was of course full of resentment and went to find Lu Ming's theory. In Lu Xiaoxiao's opinion, even if Chu Yun had a conflict with his brother and father, it was because he was a person who insisted on justice, so she didn't understand why Lu Ming did this.

Lu Ming was very fond of this granddaughter, and under being harassed in every way, he had to confide in the truth.

"Chu Yun is my most proud disciple, and his conduct goes without saying, but he is now on the cusp, if I don't give him a little wave to wet his body, how can he meet those bigger waves."

This is what Lu Ming said, Lu Xiaoxiao has always seemed to understand whether he understands or not, but with Chu Yun's betrayal and separation, Lu Xiaoxiao finally understood something.

Because Chu Yun is already very miserable, he has already betrayed his relatives and left, and those enemies are naturally not good to beat the water dogs again, but if Chu Yun shows such a handle and is still doing well, then these people can completely chase and beat him, and the momentum will become more and more powerful.

Of course, these are not exactly what Lu Xiaoxiao himself figured out, and then Lu Ming also explained it to some extent, and it was from that time that Lu Xiaoxiao knew that looking at things could not only be on the surface.

And those classmates who had a relatively friendly relationship with Chu Yun in the past cut their robes and broke their righteousness after Chu Yun's incident, which also made Lu Xiaoxiao understand what it means to be warm.

Needless to say, I have my own understanding in my heart.

So he is also used to being pampered, Lu Xiaoxiao's performance is now calm and calm.

Because she was rescued by Lu Xiaoxiao, Gu Shiyin had a very high impression of Lu Xiaoxiao, and she started chatting with Lu Xiaoxiao excitedly.

And her cognition of Lu Xiaoxiao is still just staying in the name, and she hasn't even figured it out that Lu Xiaoxiao also has a father who is the protector of Beijing and West.

Gu Shiyin finished talking about her own affairs before she opened her mouth to ask Lu Xiaoxiao, wanting to know more about this new friend, coincidentally, Lu Xiaoxiao was just about to answer, and suddenly a eunuch appeared on the stage and read out: "Summons Shen Wen, the daughter of Lord Shen Le, to meet him." ”

The crowd finally stirred, and everyone cast envious glances at the woman who got up. Originally, everyone thought that everyone was here, and then the emperor came to take a look, and which one was drawn, but it turned out to be a separate meeting......

However, wouldn't it be nice to be able to meet the emperor alone?

However, it didn't take long for that Shen Wen to come back, his expression clearly suppressing his smile.

All the women already have a number in their hearts, whether this Shen Wen is from a good background or looks beautiful, looking at this expression, it should be stable.

Envy and jealousy are all there.

After Shen Wen came back, someone was called over again, but this time it was two people.

To be honest, Lu Xiaoxiao was very curious about what was going on, because the person who was called over quickly came back with a smile on his face.

However, more than a dozen people passed one after another, everyone was smiling, and finally, the scene was a little uncontrollable.

The people who used to keep their smiles are not calm now, and when this kind of thing turns out, they are always afraid that they will not be able to be the chosen one.

When more and more people show joy, it is likely that they all have a beautiful misunderstanding.

This is the reason why Lu Xiaoxiao is so curious, and after a while, she finally called her name.

After waiting outside the Imperial Study Palace for a while, when another sister came out, it was Lu Xiaoxiao's turn to go in and face the saint.

Zhao Gou sat on the chair, and as soon as Lu Xiaoxiao entered, he knelt down and saluted, and said, "The people's daughter sees the emperor." ”

Although she is the daughter of a powerful family, she has not been given a title yet, and she has not been knighted, so she is a daughter of the people for the time being, but women of their class generally marry in the future, at least they have a fate.

Zhao Gou sat upright and let Lu Xiaoxiao calm down, before asking, "Let me ask you, are you willing to enter the palace as a concubine?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this, it turned out that the problem was actually this, she hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "The people's girls don't want to." ”

Zhao Gou almost asked the next question, and suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

"Don't want to? Why wouldn't you? ”

Zhao Gou stood up as he spoke, slowly walked to Lu Xiaoxiao's side, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with oppressive eyes, and felt the heavy pressure, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cringe a little, but still followed his heart: "The people don't want to be locked in the palace walls, and they want to have a freer life." ”

"Heh, you girl, it's quite interesting, but since you have no intention of being a concubine, why do you want to enter the palace, isn't it a good show to be me?"

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell if Zhao Gou was really angry, but the meaning of this should be that he was angry, so Lu Xiaoxiao reacted very quickly and knelt down.

"Please forgive the emperor, the people didn't mean to play, but the edict has been issued, and the people have to enter the palace......"

"Then you're still weirding me?" Zhao Gou said playfully, but Lu Xiaoxiao stopped talking, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Zhao Gou's words.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Gou said, "Even if you don't want to, I think you are quite suitable, so stay in the palace and serve in the future!" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao: "......"

Was this chosen? Obviously, her appearance has not been specially modified, and she looks much worse than other girls.

However, other sister papers may have also passed Zhao Gou's level?

Lu Xiaoxiao's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy, she could say that she didn't want to, but it was impossible for her to resist, otherwise, her actions would be causing disaster to the Lu family.

It's just that this emperor is so casual?

Lu Xiaoxiao was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood, but Zhao Gou didn't say much to her, and let her go down.

So, Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the Imperial Garden sullenly.

It will be until everyone has seen Zhao Gou that someone will send them home, and now they have to wait.

Those who were originally a little apprehensive finally felt a little relieved when they saw Lu Xiaoxiao's bitter look. It turns out that there are also people who are unsuccessful, so they should be relatively stable.

As for the relatively high pass rate, it is also normal, after all, in the palace, it is normal to have a little more concubines, after all, the number of people who sign this time is very small.

Thinking of this, the girls began to smile again. Looking at Lu Xiaoxiao, he was still a little gloating.

Only Gu Shiyin was very worried by Lu Xiaoxiao's side, asking what happened, whether she was defeated, Lu Xiaoxiao was not in the mood to answer, but said abruptly: "It's nothing, it's not a bad thing, it's just not a good thing." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao can be regarded as mentally prepared, but when all this comes, there is still a short period of low mood.

Her girlish heart has long been shattered, and she knows that she will marry someone one day, but she is a little psychologically difficult to accept because she is married to the emperor.

So, it's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing! There's nothing to be sad about.

Lu Xiaoxiao's metaphysical answer made Gu Shiyin look dazed, but she also saw that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk very much, so she didn't bother her at all.

Not long after, when it was her turn to see the emperor, she left with the eunuch.

Zhao Gou's first question was still the same, and Gu Shiyin immediately replied, "I do." ”

"Do you like me, then?"

Zhao Gou asked without any mood fluctuations, he had asked this question many times, and the answer was the same, and sure enough, Gu Shiyin replied, "I like it." ”

"What do you like about me?"

Zhao Gou was already bored when he asked this, and he had already expected the next answer, which was nothing more than a compliment to him.

Gu Shiyin's answer was as he expected.

"Father said that the emperor guards the entire Great Xia, which is more important and worthy of respect than a frontier he guards, because my father is my favorite person, and the person who is more respectable than him, of course I like it too!"

Zhao Gou: "......"

Where did this stupid kid come from? It's too naïve!

But to his surprise, he felt very comfortable listening to this, after listening to a bunch of false praises before, Zhao Gou was already nauseous and vomiting, although Gu Shiyin's performance was a little naïve, it made Zhao Gou's heart feel refreshed.

Just showed a smile, and Gu Shiyin said coldly: "But after seeing the emperor, I don't have that feeling of liking, as if the emperor is difficult to get close to." ”

Zhao Gou: "......"

Silly boy, if you tell the truth to your face like this, are you going to be beaten?

Zhao Gou heard the meaning of Gu Shiyin's words, that is, she didn't like him.

Nice and with character.

So, it's up to you!
