Chapter 499: Beauty
Summer goes and autumn comes.
In the first draft after the restoration of Great Xia, more than 18,000 people signed up, and it was finally decided that only 1,000 people would be selected to enter the palace. After entering the palace, two concubines and eight wives were selected from these thousand people. If you can become a concubine or a lady, it's really if you pick one.
There is no suspense, Li Siqi is in the quota for entering the palace.
The day when the show girls entered the palace and the scientific examination were the same day, the tenth day of the tenth month of October, which means perfect.
Li Siqi has entered Beijing for the second time.
For the first time, she had a grandfather who was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and she did whatever she wanted along the way.
This time, her grandfather was long gone, and she had followed the requirements of the Ministry of Rites officials all the way, and she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
On the ninth day of October, show girls from all over the world lived in Kyushu Ange.
Due to the large number of people, the show girls all shared a room of 20 people. On the eleventh day of the first month, the girls were led into the palace by the chamberlain.
Being able to enter the palace is already outstanding.
Although only ten of them can become Mrs. Niangniang in terms of quota, after entering the palace, there is an opportunity to contact the emperor, who can guarantee that the emperor will not be tempted by them. Even if you are an ordinary palace person, you will have a lot of monthly money, and you can leave the palace when you are twenty-five. has the experience of entering the palace, and the family who marries in the future is either rich or expensive.
With a beautiful vision, the show girls are also quietly waiting for tomorrow's choice.
Among these show girls, there are many beauties who have been selected from all over the world.
As the first beauty in Jinling City, Li Siqi feels that she is one level higher than others, and she is bound to compete for the concubine when she enters the palace.
She was joined by the tall girl of Jinling City. Along the way, Miss Gao also flattered Li Siqi to the fullest. For example, if you become a concubine, let me do things in your palace, we are all acquaintances, and we know the roots, Miss Gao doesn't know how many times she has said it. In this regard, Li Siqi also took the trouble to agree.
Twenty people in a house, all of them are show girls who have entered the palace, and there will inevitably be a secret competition between each other.
"I don't know what I'll take when I enter the palace tomorrow!"
Together, the show girls gradually gossiped.
"Who knows! Didn't you say that the Empress Dowager would choose first, and only the selected person would be able to come to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty would then select the concubine and lady from among them? ”
"The process is like this, but how does the Empress Dowager choose people? What are the criteria? We don't know! Tomorrow will be a consideration for us too! My cousin will also take part in the scientific expedition tomorrow. I feel like we're all facing a big test just like them. ”
"What's this! It's nothing more than a female celebrity or something. It's not like we haven't participated before. ”
"Yes, yes! I heard that many of them were previous winners. ”
"I heard that Li Siqi, the first first beauty in Jinling City, is also here!"
Hearing that Li Siqi's name was not mentioned, Miss Gao was about to get up.
Li Siqi stretched out his hand to stop it and shook his head silently.
"People are here for the quota of the concubine! Naturally, we can't compare with her. But I heard that this time, a peerless beauty was selected in Tianshui Village in the eastern suburbs of Yingtian! It was said that the beauty was the name of the day before the registration deadline. Anyway, it's the kind of beauty that people and gods are angry about.
"Really?" Someone asked curiously, "Could it be more beautiful than the eldest princess?" I've seen the eldest princess. I just entered the palace because of the beauty of the eldest princess, and the emperor and the eldest princess are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they are definitely beautiful men. ”
"Shhhh Don't say anything like that in the future. Remember, especially after entering the palace, don't be so open-mouthed. The eldest princess is a fairy, how can we mortals compare! ”
"Yes, yes!" The show girl also realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly said, "No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a village girl, and she is indeed incomparable." But I'm just curious about what she can look like. ”
"I'll see you soon, anyway, everyone will enter the palace tomorrow."
"yes, go to bed early. Take care of your spirits and meet the Queen Mother tomorrow. If you can't even pass the pass of the queen mother, it will be difficult to see the emperor. This palace maid also has three, six, nine and so on. The inferior palace maid will not have a chance to see the emperor! There is only endless rough work! ”
"Yes! But I can't sleep at the thought that tomorrow we'll go from living in one room to being ranked....."
"Sleep, sleep! The worst is also a palace maid! ”
The lights went out, and the chatter became quieter.
In the dark, a show girl slowly took off her veil and lay down after seeing that the lights were all out.
"This sister, why do you keep wearing a veil?" The clinical show girl asked softly.
"I've found some wind chill!" The show girl's voice echoed hoarsely, "Don't talk to me, lest you give it to you." ”
The clinical show girl cursed in her heart, and turned her back to the show girl with the veil.
In the dark, the dark eyes of the show girl with the veil lit up and slowly closed.
Early the next morning, the show girls all changed into uniform pink palace maid dresses.
After getting dressed, everyone simply had breakfast and rode into the palace in an orderly manner.
It's still a car for twenty people.
They all changed into uniform dresses, and they came out as soon as they were ugly and beautiful.
Li Siqi took a look at the show girl in the same car, and her eyes fell on the show girl with a veil in the corner: "The one in the corner of the car, why are you still wearing a veil?" ”
After looking around, the people in this car were not as good-looking as her, and Li Siqi was relieved.
"She's caught a cold!" The show girl next to her saw that the show girl who was questioning was not only outstanding, but also extravagant, and couldn't help but show some goodwill.
"Infected with the wind and cold, I still enter the palace!" Li Siqi said angrily, "What we want to see is the Queen Mother!" Besides, you are infected with the wind cold, and you are in the same car with us, how good it would be if you gave it to us! You'd better get out of the car! ”
"Yes!" Miss Gao also followed Li Siqi and said, "There are so many of us, don't harm us!" Get out of the car! ”
"What's going on!" The eunuch who accompanied the car heard the noise in the car and scolded, "Silence! ”
"Father-in-law!" Li Siqi simply tore open the window, "There is a person in our car who is infected with wind and cold, and we ask her to get out of the car." If she doesn't get off, she'll change the car for us! ”
"Nope!" The eunuch replied coldly, "It is impossible to enter the palace if you are infected with wind and cold!" Sit tight! If you are noisy, don't enter the palace! ”
Li Siqi was very angry by the eunuchs, and after sitting down, he was angry at the show girl in the corner of the car, "You don't have a cold wind, what are you doing with a veil!" Isn't it unsightly? ”
I heard the woman in the corner of the car say crisply: "I'm really sorry, I am Gu Ling'er from Tianshui Village, because I am naturally beautiful, I am afraid of being hated and murdered." It was the Lord of the Ministry of Rites who asked me to bring it, and he said that he would not be able to take off his veil until he entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, or His Majesty. This is a handwritten letter from Master Zhu. ”
