In the first year of the founding of the Yuan, the clothes were given in September.

On the hall of Zhen Xiusi, who selected the show girls, there were twenty or thirty women in brocade clothes, these women were all good-looking, looking at each other and hiding hostility, but no one dared to be presumptuous on this occasion, and hung their heads obediently, waiting for the arrival of other girls.

On this occasion, high-ranking harem concubines are going to be present, although these women are young and vigorous, they also know that these high-ranking ladies are not guilty.

"Concubine Hu has arrived."

The women saluted one after another, and carefully glanced at this concubine, her complexion was medium and upper, probably because her one-line eyebrows were slightly out of line with her overall facial features, and the whole person was also dressed plainly, without any special temperament.

Hu Yuchun glanced at the young show girls who were standing, and there was a hint of nostalgia on her calm face, she used to be so vivid.

"The princess has arrived."

The women present raised their eyes one after another, and after seeing the people clearly, they couldn't help but wonder. This princess is not very luxuriously dressed, and her complexion is not brilliant, she is barely beautiful and cute, how can this ...... One or two look at the kind of high-mindedness and vulgarity that are not rumored, and the ladies in the palace are like this?

Wang Sixiu let the women below look at him carefully, and after greeting Hu Yuchun, who was close to each other, he picked a suitable position to sit down.

"Concubine Chen has arrived."

The two of them looked over in surprise, and the woman who came in at the door was weak and graceful, and she was indescribably elegant and delicate, but it was Chen Yuyi, the old senior concubine of the Qiandi who entered the palace in the same period as Shen Ting.

Wang Sixiu's eyes widened, and she was very curious about the Chen Yuyi of the concubine who was with them, it was rumored that she had been recuperating from her illness and had not been cured for several years, without the slightest sense of existence, and it was the kind of illness that would not cause waves if she died.

Hu Yuchun has seen Chen Yuyi, so she is much more shocked than Wang Sixiu, the once submissive sick Jiao, I haven't seen her for a few years, it's like a different person, and her temperament and image are no longer what she remembers. When she met Shang Chenyi's completely unfamiliar gaze, a coldness suddenly appeared in her heart...... What did this person rely on to survive a few years of recuperation, and then in what desperate situation was he reborn like this?

Thinking a lot, Hu Yuchun slowly looked away when the other party looked at her suspiciously.

There were few people in the hall, and soon Zhao Jingyi came, accompanied by a voice of 'Concubine Jing has arrived', and those who arrived first stood up to greet them, and the girls who had been taught by their families to know the name and background of the Zhao family stared at the entrance with their eyes.

However, they were disappointed again, Zhao Jingyi had nothing else except that her facial features were slightly similar to that of the previous concubine, and she was more stable and calm...... Even, it looks even more old-fashioned than Concubine Chen.

It's because today's Zhao Jingyi is wearing a Chu-colored skirt with a new head, which is a little too low-key.

Fortunately, they didn't let them speculate for too long, and the queen finally arrived.

may not have expected what the queen should be from the beginning, so when the queen came in majestically, even Zhao Jingyi was stunned.

Song Yu's figure is tall enough to exceed the height of ordinary men, and the three-dimensional contours of her facial features are not a woman's soft type, if it weren't for a pair of Danfeng eyes, she would be indistinguishable from male and female, plus she walked with a big stride, with her face that looked very deceptive at first glance, everyone thought that the emperor who came in was the emperor, not the queen.

Everyone saluted, and she sat on the upper seat, next to the empty emperor's throne.

"Fang Cai Bengong looked at the Imperial Garden," Song Yu looked down and nodded at the nearest Hu Yuchun, "It seems that it has been a good day to enjoy flowers recently." ”

Hu Yuchun was stunned for a moment, and reacted very quickly, "The concubine also saw it, but no matter how beautiful the flowers in the imperial garden are, they are not as good as the ones below, so they really can't be appreciated." ”

"Then take a look at it, and there will be many suggestions for the selection to begin." Song Yu kept looking at her face carefully when she spoke, which made Hu Yuchun smile awkwardly.

Several other people didn't take the initiative to speak, Wang Sixiu held the tea, her eyes turned around and looked at it, Zhao Jingyi was in the second position under the queen, the first one was empty, and everyone knew that it was impossible for him to appear.

She lowered her eyes and drank tea in silence, as for the cliché in the lower seat next to her, she had always been silent.

The draft has lasted for three days, and the first two days are the primaries, all presided over by the queen and assisted by the Ministry of Rites.

Today is the third day.

Outside the hall of Zhen Xiusi, there is a queue, in addition to the selected show girls who are sent to the palace, there are also a group of new palace maids, all of whom are also delicate and delicate, and they all look up at the movement inside, at the same time, in another small corner gate, it is the old palace maids who are over twenty-five years old and can voluntarily leave the palace lined up to leave the palace, two completely different situations, but also two very different atmospheres.

Everyone who had been waiting for a long time began to feel numb in their legs and feet, and they waited for the emperor to appear.

Song Yu led everyone to get up and salute, Pu Yangxu strode through the crowd and took a seat at the top, he waved his hand, and he didn't even want to speak.

Song Yu took a few steps slowly and sat down, looking at his face, as rumored, with a long posture, handsome appearance, deep and cold eyes, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, secretly suppressed the ups and downs of her heart, and silently recited a few words of beauty and misleading people, and beauty misleading people......

Even the queen is like this, not to mention the people below, among them, maybe Zhao Jingyi is still calm, and even continued a cup of tea.

Pu Yangxu casually glanced at the woman in the audience, and then turned his gaze to Song Yu, who was sitting, "What did the Queen Mother say?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the queen mother said that these women are all good, although the harem needs to add more newcomers, you still have to come to the emperor in person." Song Yu retold the Queen Mother's words word for word.

All of them are good, add more...... Hu Yuchun swept the red and willow green flowers below, and muttered, no matter how good it is, it is useless, after the ban is lifted, in addition to the emperor who can't shake the brand of Yanxitang, the other palace women who dare to flatter are punished at every turn, and they are seriously sent out of the palace.

Just when Hu Yuchun was muttering in his heart, the election began.

Every time a woman comes forward, a lieutenant official reads out her age, name, and family background, and then the emperor decides whether to stay or not.

"Wu Xin, seventeen years old, the daughter of the servant of the ministry, good at music and rhythm, good at piano and chess......"

"The courtier Wu Xin sees the emperor, the queen, and has seen all the maidens."

The woman kneeling below was wearing a peach-colored Luo skirt, combing a simple hanging bun, and the green silk hanging from her ears lined her skin so that it could be blown and broken, and although her small face was not a country or a city, it was very pure and lovely.

"The daughter of Wu Hanzong, the servant of the ministry," Pu Yangxu looked at the girl below, "raised her head." ”

The girl looked up and smiled at him, with an innocent expression.

Everyone also looked at the girl who was smiling kindly and innocently, and if she left a sign in this election, it was really a good start.

Pu Yangxu said lightly, "Stay." ”

The lieutenant in charge of registration next to him immediately wrote down Wu Xin's name, and then began to call the next one.

Then it has been reported, but all the officials of the court, the daughters of high-ranking officials, Pu Yangxu will nod, and there are already five or six people left.

The more I report down, it is the daughter of the official family at the bottom, I have been calling many women, and I didn't see Pu Yangxu nodding, as there are fewer and fewer show girls to be selected, there are still only a few pioneers left, and some of the people present are starting to wander, until the last woman appears.

Because she was born really beautiful, she really overpowered everyone.

"The people's daughter He Jiazhen, I have seen the emperor, the queen's mother......" He's voice is also tactful, just now the Zhongguan newspaper also said that she is articulate and sings very beautifully, this talent alone is better than the previous show girls with ordinary talents, but she is also beautiful and moving, which makes people feel pity.

Ordinary civilians can walk to the front of the palace, which is very unexpected, Song Yu quietly inspected the expressions of the people around him.

Pu Yangxu stared at the woman named He Jiazhen for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Stay." ”

Hu Yuchun, who was sitting at the bottom, changed his previous absent-mindedness, straightened his waist to look at the top, and then looked at the woman who was left on the card below, revealing a look of vigilance without concealment.

Song Yu found that although the emperor looked at this woman for a while, and there was surprise in his eyes, he did not lose his mind to the point of being shocked, nor did he see joy, which shows that he is no longer an ordinary person who can be moved.

She looked at He Jiazhen and praised for the first time: "This He family, with a beautiful face and moon appearance, is honest and refined. ”

"Go back and tell the Queen Mother that she looked at the distribution palace of these people," Pu Yangxu didn't answer, but got up and strode down, "I still have state affairs to deal with." ”

This is to hand over the matter of canonizing the grades to these people to the Queen Mother.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Song Yu and the concubines stood up and saluted, watching him leave.

Walking out of Zhen Xiusi, Pu Yangxu looked up at the clear sky, and turned to Chen Luo behind him: "Those new people who enter the palace, you pay attention. ”

Chen Luo hurriedly bowed down, followed him for only a few steps, and then stopped, Pu Yangxu said: "Also, don't let her hear these things." ”

Although he said that he was referring in general, Chen Luo immediately heard that he was warning himself not to mention that He clan to Shen Tingnian.

"Yes." Chen Luo's response was faster and more stable.

After the newcomer entered the palace, he seemed to have a lot of anger.

For a while, everyone in the palace was busy, and this autumn was lively and peaceful.

The excitement is that many people are busy, and tranquility is that there is no offense against each other, and there is really no conflict.

Since the Queen Mother knew that Shen Tingnian was pregnant with a child, it seemed that everything had been turned over, and she strictly ordered each palace to perform its own duties and follow the steps, she even personally asked about the things that were sent to Yan Xitang every day, and it was impossible for the queen to meddle in Yan Xitang's affairs at this juncture.

And the queen mother's inquiry is the first pass, the emperor himself is the second pass, he and Shen Tingnian eat and sleep together, except for the early dynasty, he has almost reduced all unnecessary things, and has not been out of the palace for several months, who can believe it before.

The two of them behaved like this, so that Shen Tingnian would have nothing to do, she just had to live her life peacefully.

The days went by, and soon it was October, Shen Tingnian's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and her movements began to be restricted.

Diligent Palace.

"Bang-" A fold was thrown out by Pu Yangxu and smashed to the ground, and the hall was quiet for a long time.

Until the lieutenant in the respectful room came in, Pu Yangxu glanced at the tray in his hand, didn't know what to think, his face was heavy, and he lowered his head again.

Chen Luo hurriedly waved his hand to the eunuch, and the latter hurriedly retreated with a puzzled expression.

Half a sound, closing the music in his hand with one hand, Pu Yangxu took a sip of the tea that was served at some point, and his expression changed, "Go and pass Xiao Zuo in." ”

Chen Luo nodded yes, stepped back, and led people in after a while.
