After the palace banquet that day, Empress Yi'an made the decision to arrange a general election for the emperor, and the day when the show girl entered the palace was set on the first day of December, and the emperor set the scope of the election as a simple and innocent civilian woman.

Time seems to pass very slowly, but it is only in the blink of an eye, on the first day of December, it has arrived.

On this day, the palace was very lively, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy back and forth early in the morning, and the Chuxiu Palace was even more colorful and jubilant today, sweeping away the new emperor's mourning period.

On the dragon court in the middle of the hall, the emperor is wearing a bright yellow dragon spitting pearl robe and sits steadily, the slightly oblique nine phoenixes and pearls on the left are Queen Zhou's, and the other side is Queen Yi'an.

After seeing the emperor, the queen and Empress Yi'an, she slowly walked to the right position and sat down, but there was really some ridicule in her heart.

In the Chuxiu Palace nine months ago, she was just like the group of trembling girls outside at this time, waiting in fear to be screened by King Xin, although the mentality at that time was different, but the nervous mood should be the same.

Thinking of the king of faith at that time, her heart darkened slightly, and now she has long since become a human being.

Looking at it, the beautiful apricot blossom forest has now fallen flowers and leaves, and the bare branches are flying in the cold wind, and the original King of Faith has become the emperor who sits on the world, and she who was distracted by the apricot blossoms has become the concubine on the seat!

With the sound of water droplets in the copper leak, Father-in-law Zhang looked back, "The auspicious time has arrived!" ”

Empress Yi'an looked at the emperor with a smile, the emperor nodded, raised his hand, and said loudly: "Let's start."

The emperor's eyes wandered, looking at her from afar, she retracted her distracted gaze, opposite the emperor from afar, smiled slightly, lowered her head, and suddenly remembered what the emperor said to her when he was in Yongning Palace last night, "Xin'er, don't worry, I will not fail you!" ”

It's just that she is inevitably a little sad in her heart, she has always only seen the newcomers laughing, not hearing the old people crying, and said that she would not bear her, so why do you still have to draft? When she thought about it like this, there was a slight sour feeling in her heart.

The ceremonial eunuchs outside were already taking a roll call on the list, and as the names on the roster were reported one by one, they were dressed up in fancy clothes, or beautiful or demonic, and women with different rings of fat and thin were rushing in.

After strict screening, only fifty people remained to participate in the election, but they still stood full of Chuxiu Palace, and when they looked at it, they were dazzled.

After all the show girls stood still, the palace people led the show girls to the front in order.

I saw that the first woman was born with thin eyebrows and clever eyes, looking forward to life between actions, she was sitting closest to her, and she could see it more clearly, and she couldn't help nodding secretly at the moment, thinking that it must be Yu Ruyi, but she didn't expect that the emperor just glanced lazily, and nodded to Father-in-law Zhang, who bowed slightly, took a purse from the tray next to him and handed it to her.

The woman was obviously stunned, her face was instantly full of disappointment, so she had to bend over and bend down, turn around and go out.

A few people who followed immediately had their own looks, but the emperor just glanced at them hastily, and ordered Gonggong Zhang to hand over his purse and return.

This time, not only was she strange, but even Empress Yi'an, the queen and Concubine Yuan were also surprised, Empress Yi'an whispered to the emperor, "Emperor, you are ......" As soon as the words came out, she felt that it was inappropriate, and finally she didn't say it, after all, she was just a former queen, and now the imperial sister-in-law, although the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but her arrangement of the draft is already overstepping, and it is not good to say anything more.

And the emperor that Empress Yi'an was referring to was also well aware, only to see the emperor smile lightly, "Imperial sister-in-law, I have always thought that the appearance of the concubines in the palace is secondary, and morality, deeds, words and works are the most important. Although those people just now are good-looking, they are not what I want. ”

His words made Empress Yi'an, who was a little embarrassed, smile, nodded again and again, and said, "The emperor is really wise and wise, so good!" ”

She looked at it intently, but she was shocked in her heart, and saw that the emperor was looking at her with a smile, could it be that he was actually for her?

She suddenly skipped a beat in her heart, and hurriedly turned her head away and didn't dare to look at him again, and for a while she felt that she was really overestimating herself, but her heart was in a trance, and she felt a little comforted and sweet for a while.

He is an emperor after all, how can he only put his heart on her alone, even if he really has no intention of drafting, how can Empress Yi'an let him go, and how can the hundred officials in the court be convinced, not to mention, in today's election, among the fifty show girls selected, in the end, there are still a few left.

At this time, I only heard Gonggong Zhang's sharp voice preaching: "Fang's daughter Ruoyi, go up to see the saint!" ”

A delicate woman stepped forward and bowed down, her voice crisp and pleasant: "See the emperor, the queen and all the mothers, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the mother, all the mothers and mothers!" ”

I saw that she was dressed in a light pink palace dress, with a pleated skirt of the same system underneath, with a sky-high bun on her head, with a crown of pearls and green clouds, and an autumn hibiscus flower inserted in her sideburns, covered with a white embroidered purple flower semi-embroidered robe, with a comprehensive number of courtesies, and her appearance was also superior.

It's just that the emperor is still lazy, but the corners of Empress Yi'an's mouth floated a shallow smile, and she stretched out her hand to summon Fang Ruoyi to her to take a closer look, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this child is very good in this palace, like that virtuous and blessed look." ”

"What the imperial sister-in-law said is exactly that," Queen Zhou also smiled and nodded in agreement, and the emperor smiled faintly, "Since the imperial sister-in-law thinks it's good, let's stay." ”

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, Gonggong Zhang on the left hurriedly took a jade ruyi and handed it to Fang Ruoyi, Fang Ruoyi was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

Among the next show girls, the emperor himself didn't even take a fancy to one, and left a few more one after another, all of them were destined for Empress Yi'an, and unconsciously, there were only a few last ones in the Wind Palace, and they were all nervous at this time.

Empress Zhou looked at the rest of them, and said to the emperor with a smile, "These people think they are better than the previous ones, and the emperor has to look carefully." ”

Empress Yi'an also squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "What Queen Zhou said is very true, Your Majesty, do you want to stay all?" ”

The emperor took a closer look at the show girls, and smiled at the queen mother, "Empress Yi'an feels that the palace is too deserted, and it is defenseless to keep a few more." ”

When the show girl heard this, she immediately became overjoyed, but the emperor changed her words: "It's just that in this draft, I only plan to keep five, and I have already left four, and among these few, only one more will be left." ”

When the show girls heard this, they immediately rejoiced, looked at the emperor with hope, and just waited for him to nod, and they flew up to the branches and became phoenixes.

The emperor picked up the jade ruyi and played with it in his hand, as if he was thinking about who to give it to.

"That's it, it's her," the emperor smiled lightly on the side, pointed to a person standing in the middle of the dress in light red clothes, and said, shoved the jade Ruyi into the eunuch's hand, and leaned lazily against the dragon chariot behind him.
