Early the next morning, Changchun Garden West Gate.

More than 100 show girls to be introduced are waiting quietly, this is just a show girl with two flags inlaid with yellow and yellow, according to the convention, the emperor and queen read the draft girl, only look at two flags every day, this is of course a worry about affecting state affairs, the second is also to prevent aesthetic fatigue, the forbidden place of the palace is strictly forbidden to make noise, next to the show girls are a lot of guards, officials, eunuchs and teachers in the palace, the atmosphere is strict, the show girls don't say it's noisy, don't dare to talk to each other, and then, the demeanor is dignified, and the calm bearing is also a necessary quality for the show girls, They didn't want to make a bad impression on the eunuchs before they even entered the palace gate.

Just after four o'clock, the eunuch Gao Jinxi hurried to the Daxi Gate and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree to read the draft girls in Ningchun Hall." ”

As soon as they heard that the emperor had set the place for reading, a group of eunuchs and grandmothers immediately got busy, and arranged the show girls according to the order of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, and under the leadership of the inner eunuch, they entered in turn and went to Ningchun Hall.

One of the eunuchs, the eunuch Wang Fushun, the leader of the Chengqian Palace, hurriedly caught up with Gao Jinxi, and said tentatively with a smiling face: "Father-in-law Gao, is the emperor in a good mood today?" ”

"Shall a servant be called so by the king's chief?" Gao Jinxi said politely, but his steps did not slow down at all.

Seeing that Gao Jinxi's footsteps did not stop, Wang Fushun had no choice but to speed up his pace to follow, and he didn't have the heart to plan Gao Jinxi's rudeness, the day before yesterday, Zhenwu checked the undrafted girl in the Shenwumen micro-service, not only had a group of noble children, but also left a lot of show girls' brands, although a group of eunuchs have not been punished, but everyone is up and down in their hearts, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, I don't know how Zhenwu will punish them, and when he meets Gao Jinxi, the more favored eunuch around Zhenwu, he naturally hopes to get some tone from his mouth.

Seeing Gao Jinxi's unreasonable look, Wang Fushun continued to laugh and flatter: "Grandpa Gao is joking, who in the palace doesn't know that Grandpa Gao is a first-class celebrity around the emperor, and he will expect Grandpa Gao to take care of him or two in the future." He said. He looked up. He said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Gao, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Jinxi's pace slowed down slightly, he didn't know how Zhenwu would punish these eunuchs, besides, even if Zhenwu wanted to punish them vigorously, he should not offend these eunuchs in front of him, the draft girl was just beginning, and things were messed up. He couldn't please either.

At that moment, he smiled slightly: "I have an errand, don't dare to slack off, the leader of the king, don't say that the small ones don't talk about friendship, the general manager of Bao said, everyone has a love for beauty." ”

Wang Fushun's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Zhenwu named and left a sign outside the Shenwu Gate, all of them were beautiful women. He already knew about this, and naturally figured out the standard of Zhenwu's draft girl, doesn't this mean that he didn't say it, but as soon as he thought about it, he would come to his senses, since Zhenwu deliberately pointed out the focus of the draft girl, it was equivalent to giving them the opportunity to make up for it, and he was busy and happy: "Gao Gonggong's grace." There will be a recompense in the future. ”

Ning Chun Hall, when the first team of six show girls stood outside the door, Zhen Wu and the queen Wan Yan Hairuo walked into Ning Chun Hall, Bao Fuquan and a group of eunuchs and palace maids followed cautiously, after taking a seat, Zhen Wu glanced at the five show girls outside the door.

Show girls are selected to read, and they must wear flag costumes as a rule. The flag is wide, and you can only roughly see the fat and thin, as well as the height and appearance, but fortunately, the flag woman is not allowed to bind her feet, if you follow the folk custom of 'looking at people and feet first', this is not possible to choose at all.

After a little look, Zhenwu nodded slightly, although the six show girls in a row are not good, but they are tall, short, fat and thin, and their faces are also different, it seems that several eunuchs are thinking about it, this is to find out his preferences, but, seven or eight steps away, it is not too real, a little groaning, he stood up and said: "Move the chair to the door, so far, won't it become a fog to see flowers?" ”

Hearing this, Bao Fuquan couldn't help but be stunned, since Shunzhi Ye first created the draft girl, it has been more than 60 years, and a set of strict rules has already been formed, when selecting the show girl, how far the emperor and queen should be away, there are also rules, he couldn't help but look at Shang An The queen sitting on the royal chair for help.

After Hai Ruo was slightly stunned, he smiled slightly, stood up silently, and slowly walked to Zhenwu's side, Zhenwu turned around and smiled at her, and didn't say much, seeing this situation, where did Bao Fuquan dare to hesitate, and hurriedly made a look, all the eunuchs and palace maids moved the royal chair to the place where Zhenwu and Hai Ruo were standing.

When he got closer, Zhenwu saw that several show girls were carefully dressed, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and without waiting for the eunuch to roll call, he said: "Let them face me on the side and back respectively." ”

It has always been regarded as disrespectful to turn his back on the emperor, and when he heard this, Bao Fu hurriedly knelt forward and said, "Your Majesty, how can this be done." ”

Zhenwu said disapprerovingly: "Since it is a selection, it is natural to look at it in all directions, it doesn't matter, just do it." ”

"The minions obey." Bao Fuquan had no choice but to bow down.

As the show girls turned sideways and turned back, Zhenwu finally found a little bit of the feeling of the draft, but unfortunately the flag suit was too big, although he turned around, he couldn't judge the measurements, let alone see the legs, if only he could let them wear swimsuits, he only dared to think about this idea, let alone wear swimsuits, that is, let them wear tights, and a ridiculous hat would be buttoned down.

After looking at it for a while, he shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and when he saw this situation, the roll call eunuch hurriedly gave flowers by roll call, and sent several show girls out, Zhenwu groaned slightly, and then ordered: "Spread my will, the candidate reading show girls are not allowed to dress up, and they are all without makeup." ”

"Hey, the minion obeys." Bao Fuquan was busy bowing down, but he secretly complained in his heart, the rules of draft girls that have been passed down for decades, in the hands of this master, there will be so much dissatisfaction? If he wants to know whether Zhenwu is still full of grievances, he doesn't know what he thinks?

After watching ten teams in a row, Zhenwu didn't even look at any of them, and now Queen Hairuo was in a hurry, and there were a few of these ten teams of show girls who were passable, and Zhenwu didn't leave any of them, she was worried that Zhenwu had too many choices, but she didn't expect Zhenwu's vision to be so high.

After pondering for a while, Hai Ruocai said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no gold and no one is perfect, the emperor and the emperor's heirs are thin, and they should think more about the country's society. ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu smiled slightly, the so-called slowly picking up the sign is just a pretext, and taking care of the decency of the two yellow flags is also a pretext, reminding him to pay attention to the officials of the two yellow flags is Hairuo's true intention, after all, the two yellow flags are led by him personally, and the etiquette should be taken care of a little.

It stands to reason that as a new monarch, he should indeed take a little care of the upper three banners he personally led, but he has now exhausted the military power of the eight banners, and it is imperative that he try his best to integrate the upper three banners and the lower five banners.

Of course, these things, Zhenwu is not good and does not want to explain these things to Hai Ruo in detail, one is to abide by the ancestral teachings, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the other is that Hai Ruo's temperament is more tranquil, and he never cares about court affairs, and it is difficult to explain it clearly in three words.

The most important thing is that this is to choose a wife for him, naturally he has to be picky, he can't sleep for two nights, just throw it aside, it's better not to choose to enter the palace, most of these show girls are young, many of them are still children, they want to have no breasts, they want to have butts without butts, he really can't be interested, of course, the beauty embryo is another matter, the beauty development plan, he doesn't mind trying it.

After a little groaning, Zhen Wucai nodded slightly and said softly: "I know it in my heart. ”

Seeing that Queen Hairuo was in a hurry, Bao Fuquan was naturally anxious, and hurriedly glanced at Gao Jinxi outside the door, Gao Jinxi hurriedly slipped out of the courtyard, and several eunuchs saw him come out, and they were all busy greeting him. ”

Wang Fushun hurriedly smiled and replied: "Gao Gonggong is in a hurry, this is called first suppressing and then raising, the front are all with average qualifications and young age. ”

"Suppress first and then raise it?" Gao Jinxi glanced at him suspiciously, and then said, "The emperor has changed a lot of rules today, don't mess up." ”

"Don't worry, we're making a difference." Wang Fushun said with a smile.

The effect is really good, Zhenwu looked at the show girl with an average appearance for a long time, and suddenly saw two figures and looks that were in the middle and upper, and couldn't help but light up, asked slightly, and left the brand, and then the three teams came out of the show girl is getting better and better, and each team has one or two good-looking ones who are particularly conspicuous by the village.

This time, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel good, and left five signs in a row, and the next few teams, the show girls who came up were worse again, and Zhenwu's face sank.

After Bao Fuquan noticed it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he didn't know what went wrong, wasn't it all good just now?

Hai Ruo, who was sitting next to him, naturally noticed it, and groaned slightly, before she asked cautiously: "The emperor is not feeling well, do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”

Zhenwu shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine." ”

Hai Ruo said with concern: "The emperor has been sitting for a long time, why not take a rest?" ”

Groaning slightly, Zhen Wucai said in a deep voice: "These damn minions are so bold and reckless that they want to influence my preferences. After a slight pause, he said coldly: "Send a decree to send a few eunuchs to the cleaning place." ”

"Oh, minion command." Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and said, out of the door, he felt a cold back, it turned out that he was scared out of a cold sweat by this sudden change, for eunuchs, figuring out the emperor's preferences is a big crime, not to mention vainly swaying the emperor's preferences, this crime is not light, but it is sent to the cleaning place for fear that it will be on the face of the palaces.
