Chapter 142: Draft (3)
Carriages of different sizes and sophistications lined up in a long queue to check and enter the palace. By the time Su Xiangsi arrived, more than half an hour had passed, and she had already slept well.
Stretch her waist and let Rosin tidy up her hair accessories and skirt a little before leaving the carriage with the rules.
The show girls got off the carriage one after another, and the carriage had to leave the city gate immediately, and the carriage behind could not be delayed, and the show girls only needed to register the sign to enter the palace.
The registered grandmother at the gate of the palace took the wooden sign and saw that the name on it was Su Xiangsi, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. When the draft news was first released, the two young ladies in General Su's Mansion who attracted the most attention were also several high-powered young ladies.
Carefully register Su Xiangsi's name and household registration, and respectfully invite her in.
This may be the busiest in the palace in the past five years, and the palace roads in the side palace gate are full of officials and ladies with different appearances.
For this draft, Su Xiangsi was really dazzled when he looked at the past, and a hundred flowers bloomed in this scene. There are also various uneven quality rouge gouache flavors when snorting.
Most of the show girls came from other places to enter the palace for the first time, and saw so many young ladies from high-ranking families, and such a shocking palace. Standing next to each other, dozens of people could still tell from the slight details which one was born in the Gaomen Mansion.
The same dress and the same jewelry are placed on two people in different environments, and the difference in temperament can still be clearly distinguished.
Alone with a maid, it is inevitable that people who are not familiar with the place will be restrained and nervous, and friends who know each other can comfort each other a few times. No, I can only stay in the corner and not talk to others easily.
The palace where Su Xiangsi is located is called Ruian Palace, and all the show girls today have to go through the first round of Q&A registration and get the order brand.
There are still show girls outside who have entered the hall one after another, Su Xiangsi took a cursory look at the show girls in front of the hall, but recognized a few familiar people. Su Yiling and her best friends got together and talked happily.
Su Xiangsi picked a remote stone pier chair and sat down, gently shaking the fan in his hand. Wait for the first round to begin.
"Lovesick Sister ......"
Someone called her behind her, and before Su Xiangsi could turn her head to take a look, Yang Yi had already sat next to her, still holding a small plate of snacks in her hand. Her maid also poured a cup of tea for Su Xiangsi.
"Seeing that your posture is to empty the palace, the emperor doesn't dare to leave your brand."
Yang Yi swallowed a mouthful of pastry with difficulty, and the maid asked her to drink a sip of tea before she could swallow it.
"I don't want to take a sign yet, what's so fun in this palace? I can't go out of the palace casually, I can't look for you......" Yang Yi finished speaking, and his big eyes turned around a few times: "Could it be, Sister Acacia will leave a brand?" ”
Su Xiangsi couldn't cry or laugh: "The emperor's mind can't be guessed randomly, you can't just talk to others about what you just said." Your little head is gone, look at how you still eat. ”
Seeing that scared Yang Yi so much that he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Catkins and rosin stood aside and pursed their lips to keep themselves from laughing.
While the two were playing, many show girls entered the Ruian Palace, and the front yard obviously felt a lot more crowded. Everyone should be as careful as possible when walking, so as not to bump into others. The more careful you are, the more likely you are to get into trouble.
"How do you walk, do you have long eyes! Tea spilled on my clothes, see how you pay! ”
The whispered conversation suddenly broke out with an angry rebuke, which was particularly harsh, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
Seeing that the person making trouble was Xu Qiuqing, Su Xiangsi's head couldn't help but twitch a few times, it was this troublemaker again.
The handsome woman next to Xu Qiuqing didn't panic, but bowed slightly, and said calmly: "It was Bai Qing who accidentally bumped into Miss Xu, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"The daughter of a little lieutenant is embarrassed to come to the draft, and she is not afraid of people's jokes." Xu Qiuqing's undisguised sneering words came out, and the faces of most of the show girls present turned pale instantly.
I don't know who Xu Qiuqing is, and I am even more afraid of her, such a woman dares to speak out in the palace, and I don't know what kind of identity she is.
If the status of the admiral's daughter is still low, what are these people who have come from various counties?
When everyone thought that the woman named Bai Qing was going to suffer, how could they have thought that this woman was also a tough personality and replied politely: "I'm also a serious lady, what about you?" What are you? ”
Hey, this momentum made the entire hall gasp.
The show girl with a meager background trembled, which was called a fear. Is there such a battle in the capital? They have no way to live.
When Su Xiangsi heard this, her heart was happy! The corners of his mouth rose slightly and quickly put it down, and sure enough, he didn't choose the wrong person.
"You...... You dare to humiliate me. I ......" Xu Qiuqing was annoyed, Bai Qing was also telling the truth, but it was also her pain point. Because of the support of the right prime minister and the precious concubine, no one dared to provoke her like this directly in front of her.
The slap hit Wei Baiqing's face quickly and hard, his head was sideways, and a palm print appeared on his face. Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to squeak, this scene was too exciting, and they would have to take a detour with Xu Qiuqing in the harem in the future.
This time it was Su Xiangsi's turn to be upset, and she actually bullied her head.
"Miss Xu, it's the palace now, not the back garden of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Now everyone's words and deeds are seen by Mama. Su Xiangsi stood up and spoke coldly.
Rosin stepped forward and took Wei Baiqing aside, took out the ointment and rubbed it on her face: "It's a little painful, the medicine works quickly, Miss Wei bear with it." ”
"Su Xiangsi, don't meddle with rats!"
Hey, this is the third lady of General Su's Mansion who was kidnapped a few days ago. It's actually a beautiful woman with great talent that people can't take their eyes off.
The solemn-faced grandmother came out of the hall with a pair of eyebrows and eyes and said emotionlessly: "When you come here, you have to follow the rules of the palace, who dares to make a big fuss." The old slave reported to the queen mother, and in the future, the female dependents of the whole clan were not allowed to enter the palace as concubines. ”
All the show girls in the garden lowered their heads and said yes, not daring to say more. The crime that the whole clan can't enter the palace as concubines is not something that a little woman like them can bear.
Mama's gaze swept over everyone, paused on Xu Qiuqing, and quickly skimmed over. It was estimated that they did not dare to do anything more, so they returned to the temple.
"You're all waiting for me." Xu Qiuqing put down a cruel sentence that made people scratch their heads and turned to leave.
Only then did Su Xiangsi sit down again and look at Wei Baiqing's cheeks, the traces of redness and swelling were still obvious, so that the rosin had a thick layer: "I hope to get the serial number brand at the back in a while." In this way, the emperor can't see it. ”
"Thank you Miss Su for the medicine, I feel much better." Wei Baiqing was beaten to the point that her brain was clouded, but she didn't expect that it would be Su Xiangsi who would stand out for her.
At this time, Mama came out again and said loudly: "The registration for the first round of questions and answers in the draft has begun, and there are ten Mama in it to register." You make your own choice, and the final number plate you get is the order in which you meet the Holy Lord in the second round. ”
The little eunuch struck the gong in his hand vigorously, and shouted in a sharp voice: "The first round of the draft begins-"
The show girls looked at each other a few times, and no one dared to be the first, for fear that something else would go wrong.
Su Xiangsi and Su Yiling glanced at each other, and walked to the hall together with a tacit understanding, along with several ladies of the marquis's daughter.
Someone started to get the other people moving. There are so many outstanding ladies from high-ranking families in the capital, and they have a certain reputation in the capital. Their temperament is slowly accumulated and precipitated in the Gaomen family, even if Xu Qiuqing is too arrogant, Mingyan can also see that her mansion is extraordinary.
No matter how confident they were when they came from somewhere else, they were more nervous than curious at the moment when they really started.
Nervous about whether he could stay, curious about the emperor's true face.
Slowly, many show girls were brave enough to enter, and the real draft kicked off.
