Chapter 143: Draft (4)
The first round of the draft of the Ruian Palace was carried out in order, and the most anxious in the palace was the precious concubine. When she entered the palace, she was only a concubine, and she had no heirs for three years, and she was directly promoted to a concubine with the right prime minister.
When the harem was young, she suppressed all the concubines, and as long as she didn't go out of line, the queen was helpless against her.
I heard the news that there are hundreds of show girls today, and there will definitely be talented show girls among these 100 people. I don't know how many the emperor will stay, and I don't know if there will be a threat to her status.
The precious concubine played with the jade hand that she had benefited from maintenance, and the bracelet on her wrist was still worn by the emperor himself when she was the concubine. The palace maid folded her hands in front of her abdomen and bowed slightly in front of her.
"How?" The precious concubine leaned back, leaned on Jin Zhizhen, and raised her chin slightly.
The palace maid leaned lower: "Just started the first round of the draft, Miss Xu caused trouble in the Ruian Palace......" The last few words, the voice gradually became smaller, and finally I didn't dare to squeak.
The precious concubine frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Go on." ”
The palace maid made the news she heard 1510 clear, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground after speaking. What Miss Qiu said was simply rebellious, but she would lose her head.
"What about the emperor? But you've already arrived at Zhongyi Palace? The precious concubine got up and walked out, and secretly scolded her in her heart for saying a few words that were useless, and these words reached the emperor's ears, and she was lucky without thinking too much. If you are targeted by the emperor and remembered by other show girls, you will inevitably be wearing small shoes in the future.
The palace maid followed behind her and said hurriedly: "The emperor has lunch at the queen's mother, and it will be time to go to the draft show to greet the queen mother later." ”
The precious concubine paused, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.
After tidying up in the Ruian Palace, a large space was vacated in the main hall, and some food had been prepared in the side hall for the show girls to rest. The draft will go on all day, and you won't be able to last a day without eating something to pad your stomach.
In the center of the main hall, the ten grandmothers sat in two rows at the desk, and the table was already full of thick music and small palace maids were obediently grinding ink on the side. Su Xiangsi took a few more looks and found that there was also a grandmother who had just been very serious, so she walked towards that grandmother without thinking about it.
"The show girl Su Xiangsi has seen Mama." bowed slightly in front of the desk, and got up and sat down on the circle chair in front of the table with the permission of the grandmother.
Mama still looks cold and hard to speak, and her questions and answers are crisp and fast. Unlike other grandmothers, they will also say good words and praise a few words, or show obvious flattery.
It's nothing more than asking about your habits, your food tastes, and what you do in the house. What books do you like to read on weekdays to pass the time? As for Su Xiangsi, who is known for his lack of talent and virtue in the capital, he answered very simply.
No will be no and no need to hide.
Mama put the last stroke on the piece and moved it to Su Xiangsi to let her confirm that it was correct and not fake. Su Xiangsi left his name in the blank space.
Then he took the serial number plate handed over by the palace maid, got up, smoothed his dress, saluted again, thanked his grandmother, and left the main hall. Mama's eyes stopped at Su Xiangsi's name, and her eyes quickly flashed with appreciation, and she returned to her appearance of not entering the living.
The first round of the Q&A draft is not only to ask about the preferences and habits of the show girls, from the moment they step into the Ruian Palace, all the etiquette rules are seen by the grandmother.
Mama will leave a pertinent feeling at the end, and these hundreds of recitals will be sent to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in order after an hour.
Su Xiangsi went to the side hall and found a remote place to sit down, and then looked at the numbers in his wooden card.
Eighty-four.
Sigh lightly, this is too far behind, when will this wait? In case Li Yuwen is in a bad mood and chooses slowly, won't she have to spend it until tomorrow.
"Third sister, my serial number is seventeen." Su Yiling came out of the tea time one night later than Su Xiangsi, so she immediately found Su Xiangsi.
Su Xiangsi raised the wooden card in his hand: "I'm relatively backward, it seems that my luck is not as good as the second sister." ”
The emperor has to see so many people in the first half of the day, and I'm afraid he will be impatient in the future. The back of the line is actually quite a loss. The sisters comforted each other a few words, and Su Yiling went to find her close friend.
Beckoning to the side, rosin came over with his ears. Su Xiangsi whispered a few words in her ear, and Rosin nodded clearly and paid attention to the show girls in the side hall.
"Sister Acacia, I'm number fifty, what about you? I'll see. Yang Yi easily returned to the side hall, and she didn't have much feeling about this draft. I also feel that the emperor will not leave her brand.
"It's a pity, I'm at the end." As soon as Su Xiangsi's words fell, she saw Xu Qiuqing snorting coldly at her with her toes on her toes.
After a cup of tea, rosin whispered a few times in Su Xiangsi's ear.
Su Xiangsi nodded clearly.
Xu Qiuqing and Wei Baiqing are likely to go in together.
It is estimated that an hour and a half has passed, and Su Xiangsi has already felt that he is gradually becoming sleepy. At the beginning, the spirit of the show girl who was still looking forward to it is slowly depleting. There were originally three or five people talking in a whisper in the side hall, but now there is no sound in the side hall.
It's really uncomfortable to get up before dawn and have to endure a whole day without taking a nap to replenish your spirits.
"Bell—"
"The first round of the draft is over, and the second round begins."
The little eunuch struck the gong hard, and the atmosphere was stirred up again. Finally, when it was the most critical time, the show girls began to let the maids touch up their makeup and check their dresses and headwear.
Only Su Xiangsi is still weak and drowsy, but fortunately, Mu Jinchen is not a royal descendant, and there are so many disturbances.
Li Yuwen helped the Empress Dowager to sit firmly on the top of the Zhongyi Palace, this is the first draft of the new emperor of the new dynasty, and the Empress Dowager personally came to check the check, which shows how much attention is paid to this matter.
Li Yuwen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had an innate majesty that made the people below dare not look directly, and only he knew how much suffering he had suffered and how many tears he shed in his heart.
At the beginning of the month, the courtiers proposed that the draft begin, and he was not allowed to go back to bed to rest, and he had been sleeping on the bed for half a month. If he chooses the wrong person today, he will roll out of Chunhui Palace with a cover.
There are hundreds of chapters on the table, and when he opens a few books, he densely records the most basic information of each person, Li Yuwen has already regretted amplifying his words, how could he have thought that there are so many female dependents in this range.
Father-in-law Chonggui nodded, and Father-in-law Gui flicked the dust in his hand and shouted loudly: "Meet the draft to be—"
Then, ten well-dressed young ladies came and stood in an orderly manner, hanging their heads in the middle of the main hall, and gave a big salute to the first two people.
I couldn't make a mistake in my walking and standing posture, and the Queen Mother spoke: "Raise your head." ”
The young ladies raised their heads and looked ahead, looking around indiscriminately, and their hearts and livers were about to jump out of their throats.
I didn't expect the emperor to be more energetic and handsome than the outside.
Gonggong Gui pointed out the name of each young lady, and bowed slightly to each name. The little father-in-law next to him opened the recital and flattened it in front of Li Yuwen.
After seeing everyone's appearances, the Queen Mother took a quick look at the content recorded on the recital, and said no more.
Li Yuwen didn't hear the familiar name, and pointed to the hairpin in his hand to signal it to be sent to everyone.
"All hairpins—"
The faces of the ladies at the bottom line turned pale. Many people directly showed a look of pity, took the hairpin flower in the tray of the little eunuch, and exited Zhongyi Hall in frustration. What they didn't know was that the two people sitting in the high position could see their expressions and movements clearly.
The Ruian Hall is next to the Zhongyi Palace, separated by a palace road. Li Yuwen was bored to enjoy a few flowers, and the show girl on Su Xiangsi's side couldn't sit still for a long time.
After the first ten people who went in came out, they saw that everyone was holding a hairpin in their hands and no one left a card, and the hearts of the other show girls fell into underestimation. Among these ten people, not all show girls came from other places, but there are also young ladies from families who are a little famous in the capital.
Such an identity and talent can't get into the eyes of the emperor, and I don't know what kind of person will be who can be left behind.
