Fifteenth.

Shen did not personally go to the gate to send Mingyue to the carriage, but Yang Ruyi took Mingyue's hand and sent it to the outer door: "Huiniang, when you arrive at Zhaohua Palace, remember to talk less and listen more...... Don't think about it, my mother doesn't come because I'm afraid that I can't help but cry when I see you, but it's unlucky. ”

Mingyue shook her head and smiled: "My mother has raised me for many years, how can I not know my mother." ”

Yang Ruyi was obviously in a heavy mood these days, and when she heard this, she just turned her head and asked the maid to get into the carriage and tidy up things first.

Mingyue saw it and spoke first: "Second sister-in-law, am I still a lady today?" ”

Yang Ruyi glared at her and said, "I have so many treasures from my son, so I am naturally a fair lady!" ”

Yang Ruyi is also a wonderful person, and he intended to make Mingyue feel better, so he cooperated with this. The carriage over there was already ready, and the two of them could only endure any words they had, so as not to miss the hour.

Mingyue sat in the carriage, and at this moment there was only the maid Qin by her side, and when she entered the palace, she had to pass the old mama to check her body first, and then even Ziqin could only stop.

The civilian show girls in this general election are selected by the state capitals, and they are given priority to practice in the palace for three months. The women of the official family only chose the official women of Beijing, and those from other places are not counted, except for those who do not match the age of last year and are married, in fact, there are not many official women. Therefore, the primary election will probably only take about a day.

After the old lady's inspection, the show girl waited in the Zhaohua West Hall first, and then was summoned by the queen. When Mingyue entered the hall, she hurriedly glanced at the women in the hall, and several of them were intersecting in the boudoir, but this was not a place to talk about the past, the hall was very quiet, and even if she had to speak, she only talked softly. Mingyue learned from the etiquette of the past few days that she was going to inspect the etiquette rules when she entered the palace, so she did not intend to sit next to the acquaintance showgirl, but chose a nearby position to sit down.

During the selection of the bright moon, other show girls came in one after another, and everyone paid attention to them, for example, those two people with similar clothes and accessories are probably sisters, is it possible that they still want to follow the example of Empress E?

The hall is gradually full, and those who want to be selected now naturally dare not have the slightest transgression, but unintentionally, it is not so regular:

"Sister."

Mingyue turned her head when she heard the sound, it was a little girl sitting beside her who opened her mouth, as for why she called it "little girl", it was because her hair was still in a girl's bun, and she was not yet at the age of Xuan. Although the age of the draft is thirteen to eighteen, every family tacitly selects the eldest daughter to be first-class, but it is rare to really see such a young show girl.

Mingyue looked at it with an inquiring gaze. The little girl pointed to the pastries on the small table between the two, and Mingyue reached out and pushed the plate of pastries close to her.

Seeing that the little girl really picked up the pastry and ate it, Mingyue couldn't help but take another look. The little girl saw it, looked at the pastry, looked at the bright moon, and silently pushed the pastry plate back. Mingyue shook her head and smiled, retracting her gaze.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, there was a commotion at the door.

It turned out that something happened to the two sisters, I don't know if it was the sister or the younger sister who spilled the hot tea on each other's skirts, when Mingyue looked at it, one of them looked aggrieved and didn't dare to speak, and the other looked angry and glared at each other fiercely.

"Sister, what are they doing?" The little girl asked in a whisper.

Mingyue shook her head, which is right and which is wrong, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, that is the east wind is right, otherwise it is the fault of the east wind. Fortunately, this uproar did not last long, and the aunt in charge had come to spread the word outside, and the show girls met the queen in person.

“...... Zhao Juan ...... Lu Huanting ......"

Seeing that the little girl also went out with the first batch, Mingyue realized that this little girl may have a lot of background, just because the first batch of people who went out were all famous and noble girls or relatives with the royal family.

About two hours later, the number of beautiful women in the hall gradually decreased, and Mingyue only heard her name when the aunt in charge came to speak for the fifth time.

“...... Moon...... Xu Sigui, Xu Jigui ......"

Mingyue paid attention to it, and the pair of sisters were also among them.

Today's Zhonggong Niangniang's name is Jiang Yu, who is the niece of the old lady of Taikang Palace and the emperor's cousin. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Daliang royal family has always had a tradition of close relatives, for example, the old lady is the cousin of the first emperor, so Jiang Yu has been raised by the requirements of the mother of the country since she was a child. Mingyue couldn't imagine what kind of character it was when she learned about it, and it wasn't until she entered the inner hall at this moment that she realized that this kind of bearing was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I saw that Jiang Yu was not wearing the queen's court dress, but was dressed more daily, and she was holding the roster of show girls in her hand. When she looked up when the show girls entered, she looked up with a gentle expression, lining Mingyue, a group of fledgling show girls, more and more like little girls.

Mingyue said in her heart, they can also call it "there are rules" outside, but now they are a little nervous.

After the show girls stood still, Jiang Yu spoke: "Who are Xu Sigui and Xu Jigui?" ”

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but before they could say hello, the queen spoke again: "Unruly, expel Zhaohua." ”

At that moment, a strong mother responded and dragged the two out of the inner hall of Zhaohua, and the two had the intention to argue but their mouths were covered. For a while, in addition to the slight sound of footsteps in the hall, the rest of the show girls didn't dare to make a sound, I thought that the queen was a good talker, but she was also so resolute, and she really deserved to be the niece of the queen mother.

This trick really had an extraordinary effect, and the remaining show girls did not dare to go beyond it in the slightest during the queen's questioning.

"Bright Moon."

Mingyue stepped forward to greet when she heard the voice: "Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Industry, meet Niangniang." ”

Jiang Yu glanced at the booklet and said, "Is it a member of Tian Xuanji's 'Yongxu Society'?" ”

Mingyue said: "I was fortunate to know the champion. ”

Tian Xuanji once won the name of the female champion of the elephant dance banquet for three consecutive years, so her reputation was widely spread among women of the same generation. It's just that it's not enough to know her, you have to have some talent to join her poetry club, and I think the queen also knows the meaning of this poetry club.

The queen put down the roster and sighed a little: "The palace has heard the name of the Tian family girl for a long time, but when she became famous, the palace had entered the palace, and I thought that I could see it today, but I ...... Why don't you talk about this poetry club? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little commotion, all the questions asked earlier were some decent words, and the queen's evaluation was nothing more than "good" and "acceptable", who would have thought that Mingyue would say so much here, although every sentence did not leave Tian Xuanji, but how could it not be recognized by Mingyue just by the name of a member of the poetry club.

Mingyue didn't dare to think about it, but said: "Yongxu Society was named after the word "Linjiang Immortal" at the dance banquet when Tian Xuanji was thirteen years old, and the full text is: Bai Yutang dances in front of spring, and the east wind rolls evenly. Bees and butterflies are in chaos. How many times has it been gone? How can it be compromised? Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he goes. Shaohua Xiu's laughter has no roots. With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds! ”

The queen praised: "A good sentence to send her to Qingyun." ”

If Tian Xuanji does not die early, there will be no place for her in this world.

Jiang Yu smiled: "There is another question in this palace, the daughter of the Tian family once used 'a husband to be a hundred masters, and in a word, to break the law of the world'. Piff, what is it? ”

Mingyue was stunned.
