In the third year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, His Majesty has been on the throne for three years, the harem is empty, and the three-year filial piety period has passed, so the draft is held.

Xungui, the official eunuch of the imperial court, the villagers from all over the country, and those from the age of sixteen to eighteen in the family are all girls to be drafted.

This autumn election can be described as huge, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and it is a supreme glory to enter the palace and enter the emperor's side.

But it will also be a careless move, and even affect the entire family.

For a time, people came and went in front of many mansions in the capital, and it was not lively.

The palace has also set off waves, and the pattern will change.

"Miss, Madame has called you to her courtyard." The young maid said respectfully.

Zheng Ruoyi sat quietly on the upper seat and glanced at the visitor, "I know, you go down first, and then I will go to my mother's courtyard." ”

The young maid saluted and took her leave.

As soon as the person left, the maid guarding outside closed the door of the house, and Zheng Ruoyi's upright sitting posture collapsed, covering her forehead with her hand.

"She told me to go to her yard, and this must be about the draft."

"Miss is in the prime of her life this year, so she is naturally a girl to be drafted."

The personal maid beside her said with a smile on her face.

Zheng Ruoyi supported her cheek with one hand and looked at her listlessly, "How happy do you look?" ”

Bi Shui's voice was brisk, "The slave maid is naturally happy for the young lady, entering the palace draft, even if she does not enter the harem, she can persist until the last round, and it is also excellent to be close in the future."

If you can enter the palace, then you will become the mother of the palace, even if it is a lady, you have to be careful with you! ”

Zheng Ruoyi looked at the innocent maid, "Isn't it that if I become a favorite concubine again, my father will have to treat me carefully and respectfully, and the entire Baron's Mansion is it?" ”

Bi Shui's eyes showed longing, and he nodded again and again with a dreamy expression.

Zheng Ruoyi raised her hand and patted her forehead angrily, "Don't daydream, let's go down to the Baron's Mansion."

As an unfavored eldest lady, even if it is the eldest daughter, it is not on the list that must be selected. ”

Saying that, Zheng Ruoyi stood up, Bi Shui didn't have time to speak, and hurriedly bent down to straighten her skirt first.

"In the end, it was chosen by His Majesty and the lady in the palace, and the young lady is extremely talented, and she will definitely be selected!"

Zheng Ruoyi looked at the closed door and sighed, "But as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, how many people are buried."

Even if those palace concubines have a guard of honor behind them, they will be crushed if they are not careful! ”

Bi Shui stood up straight, looking at the young lady with a calm expression, how much did he think about it, it was a great honor for many young girls, and his own young lady was not happy.

She didn't dare say anything more.

Walking behind the door, Bi Shui stepped forward and opened the door.

Zheng Ruoyi lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, crossed the threshold, and the maids on both sides saluted.

Zheng Ruoyi's expression was unwavering, she had been in this world for a year.

At first, she would be at a loss when she was treated like this, and she would pull them up and say that they didn't have to be so careful.

But as soon as she said this, all the subordinates knelt down and kept kowtowing.

A year of bumps and bumps, even if you are not used to it now, you should take it for granted on your face.

"Qinglan, come with me to visit my mother."

Zheng Ruoyi's eyes swept over the many maids present, and commanded the first woman.

No matter how depressed the Baron's Mansion is now, no matter how unfavored she is, she is also the eldest lady, and it is always difficult to bring only a personal maid when she goes out.

At the same time, there are too many people, and she thinks it is too exaggerated, so every time in addition to bringing blue water, she will also bring another maid.

The three of them went straight to the courtyard where the lady of the Baron's Mansion was, and were ushered in by the mother-in-law.

In front of the closed room, as soon as they stood still, the door was pushed open, and the young maid who had brought her the news before bowed respectfully to guide her.

The two maids stayed outside the house, Zheng Ruoyi entered the house in no hurry, and laughed in her heart:

I used to have to hold some shelves every time I came, but now as soon as the news of the draft came out, my face changed.

But no matter what she thinks in her heart, she always maintains a decent and generous smile on her face.

Looking at the lady on the throne, she saluted.

The other party smiled: "Big girl, sit down, you are also what I grew up watching, why bother to be so angry." ”

Seeing Zheng Ruoyi sit down in a position submissively, Zhang said: "Presumably, the eldest girl also knows what I called you."

Half a month later, there will be a draft, and the daughters of the appropriate age in each family are also ready.

You are the eldest lady in our house, so naturally you can't weaken them.

The master is all in mind, I also inquired, and found a grandmother who was released in the palace a few years ago, and will come tomorrow.

At that time, the eldest lady will learn some rules from her, and she will not panic when she enters the palace. ”

Zheng Ruoyi's heart turned back and forth, and some gratitude appeared on her face, and she got up and bowed respectfully.

"Father Xie and Mother remember that if you will learn the rules from your mother at that time, you will not lose the reputation of your family."

The smile on Zhang's face deepened, and he said, "You kid, get up quickly!" ”

gave the personal maid a look, and the other party quickly stepped forward to help Zheng Ruoyi.

Zheng Ruoyi had a shy smile on her face, and Zhang's eyes were loving, so she looked like a mother and daughter.

After dealing with Zhang's family, she walked out of the house, and the two maids she brought came up to greet her.

This time, it was personally sent to the hospital by Zhang's personal maid, and Bishui was still a little flattered.

Back in his courtyard, he only felt that he had unloaded his burden, Zheng Ruoyi sat on the soft chair and glanced at the blue water that served tea and poured water.

She looked at Qinglan, who was standing quietly and with low eyebrows, and thought for a while and said:

"Father and mother invited the grandmother who left the palace, and tomorrow she will come to teach the rules, I don't know what will happen in the future, and then the two of you will also learn on the side."

Bi Shui's face suddenly appeared with joy, and he saluted happily and thanked him.

And under Zheng Ruoyi's gaze, Qinglan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were calm, and he bowed seriously, and then stood quietly aside again.

Zheng Ruoyi's eyes showed satisfaction.

Don't look at the decline of the Baron's Mansion, the descendants who have no future in this generation may not be able to keep this title.

But there are also 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and this baron's mansion has also been prominent before.

Her biological mother died in childbirth when she gave birth, and her father married another one in less than a year, so she was not taken seriously.

And the stepmother wants a good reputation, blindly arrogant, and the original owner is raised a little unknowingly thick and frizzy.

A year ago, the sisters at home gathered, and I don't know what the dispute was, the original owner fell into the water, and then she crossed over.

And the stepmother did a good job on the surface, and all the maids who were not well served were beaten on the board, and some were expelled from the house.

Slowly recuperating her body, she eliminated some of the maids in her courtyard.

In her previous life, she was only a junior in college, but she watched a lot of palace fights.

Carefully observing the perfunctory young lady of her, going out from time to time, and being extremely enthusiastic about other young ladies, especially the second young lady who is now out of the lady.

All those names were written down, and all opportunities were expelled.

And now the maid she can trust, the most trusted is the original owner's personal maid, the daughter of the deceased nurse.

Another Qinglan, who was originally just a second-class maid, was extremely stable, and she was in the courtyard on weekdays, and after observing for a while, she could serve her closely.

Zheng Ruoyi got up and asked the two maids to retreat, she entered the inner room, and through the blurred bronze mirror, she could vaguely see her appearance in this life.

Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, delicate facial features.

Her green hand stroked her cheeks, smooth and smooth, and her skin was naturally fair, and she was a very good look.
