Finally came to the day of the election, the sky is not completely bright, there is a pale white light floating in the air, the West Palace is very lively in front of the gate, a row of carriages enter from the Xizhi Gate in an orderly manner, the carriage is hung with lanterns, the surnames of each family are written on it, dense turns, like beads strung up, not far from the palace gate, there is a place called Yaohua Palace, the show girls wash here, wear uniform clothes to get the brand, so far, the identity and surname are all put aside, only the wooden sign hanging on the waist is the only symbol on behalf of themselves.

Leave the sign to go to the Cuiwei Hall and wait for the end of the round and then re-elect, do not leave the sign of the right to live, please knock down and go home, where to go back.

Empress Dowager Rui looked at the room full of warblers and Yanyan, and felt that any one was good, and she was a little picky, for fear of missing the fate with the emperor, so it was very nerve-wracking to consider, every time she hesitated, Concubine Duan would give pertinent advice, she spoke impartially, and she could always grasp the essence of the problem, and soon made Empress Dowager Rui have a decision, and her heart became more and more arrogant to her.

In the second round of staying in the palace, it is necessary to check the sleeping posture of the show girl, whether she is snoring and grinding her teeth and talking in her dreams, whether she has a fox odor, and whether she loves to turn over in big characters. So another batch was eliminated from it.

The third round of the test shows the talents of the girls, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, women's red embroidery, measure them one by one, and brush off a batch, the big waves and sand, after three rounds, there is not much left, basically all can stay.

Concubine Duan looked at Xiu Yuanfei standing in the crowd, and sighed secretly in her heart, the little sister was arrogant, thinking that she could turn the tables when she entered the palace and earn some face for the Xiu family, but the emperor was ......

The decision made by Xiu Yuanfei at the beginning, whether she will regret it in the future, she really has no bottom in her heart. I hope Xiu Yuanfei is right, if the little sister can shine in the court, she will naturally be happy for her as a sister.

The show girls stood quietly in a room, waiting for the emperor to come, just today, their lives will be heavily outlined, whether they are mules or horses, see the truth at this moment. Just like the candidates waiting for the release of the list, the excitement and anxiety in their hearts alternate, and they are all looking forward to getting a high position, but they are not sure.

Everyone is curious about the emperor, the emperor was already famous when he was still the king of Chu, and it was rumored that he was ugly, fierce and cruel, but the father and brother in the family said that it was a rumor, the emperor was actually born handsome, and his personality was also calm, and he was not as terrible as rumored.

The show girls were all stunned when they came, and they were a little relieved when they saw the Empress Dowager Rui, the Empress Dowager was graceful and luxurious, and her appearance was so beautiful, the emperor should not be far behind.

In fact, I had already invited the emperor early in the morning, but the emperor excused himself from being busy with government affairs and said that everything was in charge of the Empress Dowager Rui.

Empress Dowager Rui is not a fool, she is the master, put the position down, the show girls choose the palace to live, they will return to the forest like a bird, the stone sinks into the sea, there is no chance to take the lead, the emperor is not interested in the selection, it is difficult to get a trip to the harem, who does not know who is, how to be pampered?

Pick and choose, choose and then pick, and only then can it be practical.

Empress Dowager Rui can compromise on everything else, this matter is grinding with the emperor, he is busy, she waits, a room of people are waiting, just to test the patience and skills of the show girls, can't bear it, loose shoulders and back, looking left and right, don't wait for the emperor to come, she solved it first.

The emperor got up from a nap, Yuegui waited for him to dress, and Hao Pingguan bowed down and said to the side: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother Lafayette has sent someone to invite you again, saying that the room full of people is waiting for you to send a seat." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother didn't take a nap?" ”

"No, Lafayette and Concubine Duan are waiting with the show girls."

The emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly, in order to force him, the Empress Dowager Rui also tried her best, and even survived herself, he was already unfilial.

He spread his hands and asked Yuegui to help him buckle the eagle's head, and said, "Let's go to the Jade Fu Palace." ”

Hao Pingguan immediately went out to Zhang Luolong, Ning Jiu stood aside with an expressionless face, escorting him at any time, and the emperor went up, but named Yuegui: "You go with me." After thinking about it, he said, "Call Crimson." ”

So, the chariot of the chariot, the entourage, the group went to the west, the Yufu Hall is specially used for the selection of the palace, the place is big, the house is also many, the show girls according to the number on the brand to allocate the room, round by round out of the competition, after three rounds, the rest to the hall on the quiet Hou Jiayin.

The hall was silent, the show girls stood slimly, and heard the eunuchs outside the hall raise their voices to sing that the emperor had arrived, and they knelt down together, and the emperor stepped into the threshold, only to see a large piece of Wu Yang's head.

Empress Dowager Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and got up with a smile to greet her, "I have to wait so much for the mourning family, looking forward to the stars and the moon." ”

"How could I have thought that the Queen Mother wouldn't even take a nap and sit here waiting, is it her son's."

Murong Mian said words of apology in his mouth, but the expression on his face was indifferent, of course the Empress Dowager Rui couldn't take it seriously, it was good to beg him to come, haha smiled and diverted the conversation.

Xiu Yuanshuang knelt on the ground like the show girls, and Murong Mian passed by her, as if she hadn't seen it, and only after she sat down did she say lightly: "Get up." ”

The show girls stood up again, although they were all curious about the emperor, but when they came to the front, none of them dared to look up, firstly, it was disrespectful, and if they didn't get it right, they lost their heads, and secondly, the emperor's aura was much more terrifying than they imagined.

"Your Majesty, let's start." Empress Dowager Rui observed Murong Mian's expression and said to the show girls, "Raise your heads and let the emperor take a good look at you." ”

The show girls raised their heads obediently, but their eyes were drooping, and they didn't dare to look at the yellow figure in front of them.

Empress Dowager Rui took the roster and introduced them to the emperor one by one: "This is Song Taifu's family, called Song Qiaolian, she is the most talented, you look at the poems she wrote, how charming, and this word, neat, beautiful, at first glance is a serious and well-behaved child." As she spoke, she raised a thin piece of paper for the emperor to see.

The emperor turned his head to look at Yuegui, there was no expression on Yuegui's face, and then he looked at Qihong, he was also indifferent, so he shook his head, "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Rui sighed regretfully, and made persistent efforts, "This is Li Duwei's family, called Li Mengqi, don't say anything else, just rush to this face of blessing, and it will be a ...... of a prosperous man in the future."

The emperor looked over, it was a slightly dull girl, his eyes and nose were looking at her and his nose was clubbing, he looked at her for a long time, and finally spit out a word, "Stay." ”

Empress Dowager Rui breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and finally had a choice for the fourth concubine. It's just that she doesn't like this Li Mengqi, she is a little stupid, her mouth is not sweet, she will not come to trouble, and she will be treated coldly in the future.
