Chapter 1 Draft

Next Chapter

The draft of Great Xia is generally selected every three years, in order to enrich the harem and prosper the royal family, but because Emperor Haoyuan was not yet a weak crown in the past few years, he didn't want him to break his body, so he was not drafted.

When Emperor Haoyuan turned twenty years old, he was selected every three years, but it seemed to be less, especially Emperor Haoyuan's heirs were very few, so there would be a draft every year for the past two years, but it was a small election, but it happened to be a three-year election this year, which belonged to the general election.

The draft is the fate of every official girl, and after layers of screening, the talented and beautiful official lady was selected into the palace to enrich the backyard.

The blue sky was unusually clear and lofty, the thick clouds seemed to be frozen like reliefs, and the sun exerted its radiant heat, baking the earth as hot as an oven, and even staying in the house would sweat profusely, not to mention the square without the slightest cover, and a group of beautiful girls stood under the scorching sun waiting to enter the palace.

At dawn of the clouds, with a group of show girls from the Xuanwu Gate, they entered the Great Xia Harem with yellow glazed tiles as the top, blue and white stone as the base, with endless roofs, and staggered pavilions and buildings, it was already an hour later.

The draft was held in the cool and comfortable Changchun Garden, which covers a vast area, and even if there are hundreds of show girls, it is enough to accommodate them.

Because Yun Xiaoxiao's father is only a fourth-rank official, her position in the back is relatively low, but fortunately, there is a long corridor and a spacious hugging building, so that these charming show girls will not be exposed to the sun.

It's not sunning, but as time passes, all the show girls are dizzy with hunger, and their hands and feet are weak, but they all dare not express themselves, let alone make noise, maintain a dignified demeanor, and stand slim.

The corridor where Yun Xiaoxiao stood was next to the cherry grove in the garden, and Yun Xiaoxiao, who was hungry and weak, looked at the cherries next to him with bright colors and luster, hanging on the branches like strings of shiny red agate, and muttered to himself, "I'm so hungry, if only I could pick it off and eat it, so many of them can make a few jars of cherry wine and put it away, and wait until August 15 to taste the wine and admire the moon, and really live happily over the gods." ”

"Poof." A girl standing behind Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You really know how to eat, but I'm hungry when I tell you that." ”

"The people live on food." Yun Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course.

"Shhhh The girl in front of Yun Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and said, reminding Yun Xiaoxiao, Yun Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue cutely, and stood up obediently.

What they didn't know was that the interactions of the three of them all fell into the eyes of Emperor Nangong Qing, who had just come from the next dynasty, especially the lively and beautiful Yun Dawn, which left a deep impression on him.

"Hustle! Qin's Yuning, Yun's Dawn, Feng's Shuhui, Che's Lanxuan, and Ji's Yunhui enter the palace! "Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to enter the temple.

The father-in-law who was in charge of leading them in bent down to lead the way, and several of them walked gracefully on the smooth marble floor without squinting, and then stood side by side in the designated position.

"Show girl Qin's Yuning (Yun's dawn, Feng's Shuhui, Che's Lanxuan, Ji's Yunhui) See the emperor, the emperor Wan'an, the queen's mother Wanfu, all the mothers Jin'an."

"Look up." Wearing a dignified jujube red round neck placket embroidered with a rich pattern of flowers, the queen lady called elegantly, "Your Majesty, the first and second look the best." ”

Queen Cheng Lingyue looked at it and turned her head slightly sideways, and whispered to Nangong Qing on the main seat, the phoenix on her head spread her wings and shook with her movements, slightly shocked, the pearl tassel held by the wind mouth slid across her smooth forehead, she glanced at the concubine next to her and added.

Although the appearance of the fifth-ranked Ji is not as good as the previous two, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is outstanding. I heard that it was the uncle and sister of Concubine Xian's sister. ”

The named concubine Xian's expression was faint, and the smile on her face did not increase by a point, nor did she increase by a point, as if she had not heard the words of the queen mother, and did not say a word.

"Oh." Nangong Qing let out a noncommittal sigh, leaning comfortably on the armrest, looking leisurely and freehand, but the eyes hidden under the slightly drooping eyes were shining with sharp stars.

His gaze secretly stayed on Yun Xiaoxiao, who was standing lightly with his head raised, but he saw that her face was like a goose egg, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like paint, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her spirit was like autumn water, she was indescribably soft and delicate, lined with a light green breast-length skirt, and she was indescribably ethereal and light.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Nangong Qing didn't say anything, Queen Cheng Lingyue called softly, and then asked, "Do you want to call them forward?" ”

"No need, the queen's gaze, I believe it, just listen to the queen, and leave the three of them." Nangong Qing leaned back lazily, leaning comfortably against the back of the chair, looking indifferent.

Queen Cheng Lingyue's eyes flashed, the dignified and peaceful smile on her face remained unchanged, and she raised her voice slightly, "Qin's Yuning, Yun's dawn, and Ji's Yunhui are still on the card." ”

Su Pei'an, the chief manager standing in front of Nangong Qing, cleverly immediately put the sign in a tray covered with bright yellow brocade.

Then Yun Xiaoxiao and the three of them were led aside to stand with the show girls who were left behind, Yun Xiaoxiao took a sneak look, the number of people was only about twenty, and many of them were familiar faces in her previous life. It seems that even if he is reborn in one life, those who should enter the palace will still enter the palace.

Yes, now this cloud dawn is in the previous life, as a concubine, but she was killed by the queen with one body and two lives, in this life she is reborn with resentment, and she must be repaid by the people who hurt her a hundred times.

In this life, she will no longer be polite and take care of them like in her previous life, she wants to be outstanding and spoil the harem!

Before the selected show girls went to bed, they were all arranged in Chuxiu Palace.

Because it is a palace specially set up for show girls, there are more rooms, and no one knows which of these show girls will enter the eyes of the emperor, "Once chosen on the king's side, the king will not be early from then on." "There are many things to do, so as long as the arrangement is for one person and one room, there will be no grievances.

Although they were apprehensive, in order to give Nangong Qing a good impression, they all seized the time to rest, intending to recover to their best state.

And Nangong Qing, who was reviewing the chapter in the Heart Cultivation Palace, waited for the time to turn over the cards once a day.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Huang is waiting outside, is he turning over the cards today?" Su Pei'an, the first eunuch beside Nangong Qing, bowed down and changed a new cup of tea for Nangong Qing, and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Nangong Qing originally wanted Huang Gonggong to go down, but somehow the cute appearance of Yun Xiaoxiao sticking out his tongue came to mind, so he hummed.

Su Pei'an immediately found Huang Gonggong, Huang Gonggong held a tray high and knelt in front of Nangong Qing, the tray was covered with yellow brocade, and there were two rows of two-finger-wide and two-inch-long brands on the brocade, the quality of the brands was different, and the names of the concubines in the harem and the show girls who were elected today were written on the signs.

Show girls are just ordinary wooden brands.

Nangong Qing's gaze fell on the row of wooden signs, his left hand slid over the row of mahogany signs, and finally nodded on the sign that wrote Yun Dawn.

"Yes." Gonggong Huang bowed down and retreated to Chuxiu Palace to deliver the decree.
