The selection of concubines in front of the palace officially began, early in the morning, the carved sedan chair in front of the palace gate rushed over one after another, and the people who walked down from the carriage were all some graceful figures and beautifully dressed deep ladies.

Each stretched out his hand to the maid, and his feet in delicate embroidered shoes stepped on the small stool, and the skirts were of various colors, and the steps and hairpins on his head shimmered slightly in the sun, and some would make a crisp crashing sound.

In addition to the beauty and delicacy of the clothes, look at the appearance of these deep ladies, although some girls often hold the fan in their hands to slightly hide their appearance, but it is not difficult to see the white and smooth skin, as well as the extraordinarily delicately trimmed willow leaf curved eyebrows.

There are even some young ladies who are born with a pair of eyes that do not pretend to be self-flattering, and with the walking posture that has been deliberately practiced since childhood, just a glance from a distance makes people feel that it has a unique charm.

Shen Zhirong walked down under the support of the maid, wearing a particularly gorgeous, delicately embroidered red dress, the belt tied around the waist was wrapped tightly, of course, her waist was as thin as a willow branch, and with the foil of the upper clothes, it looked even more concave and convex, and her posture was charming.

Her long hair was loose and in a particularly delicate bun, and the steps on her head hung to her ears, and every movement made a sound like the gentle call of a bird.

The breeze was blowing, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of plum on his body.

"Miss, watch your step." The maid supported Shen Zhirong, although her voice was small, but it always had a raised nasal voice, which made people think that she was very domineering, "You have arrived at the door of this palace, but you must not lose here, otherwise the lord and the lady will be angry." ”

Shen Zhirong held the fan quickly, which showed the boredom in his heart, "I know, I know, didn't you just push me in to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and now I don't feel that the concubine is from a humble background?" ”

"Miss," the maid's face froze when she heard this, "be cautious in your words and be cautious in your deeds." ”

“……”

The emperor's concubines, said that the young ladies who have reached the status can come to the election, but not all of them are voluntary, according to an unwritten rule, officials at a certain stage of official positions, if there is a woman of appropriate age in the family, they must be sent to run.

The concubine of the Shen family is ugly, and it is bound to be ridiculed when she is sent to the palace to run for election, Shen Tingwei is such a face-saving person, naturally he can't let a concubine hurt him and be ridiculed, and then he suddenly remembered that he and the prostitute. The girl who was thrown together in the countryside came out.

Shen Zhirong is not the first time to come to the capital, but the impression left on her by that visit to Beijing is very bad.

Although she has always lived in a small mud house in the countryside, Na Shen Tingwei thinks that her mother is a dusty woman in the green building, and she has never taken care of the lives of their mother and daughter. Fortunately, her mother is also a good mother, and she didn't ignore her, but gave her a lot of 'things that a woman should learn'.

So even Shen Tingwei's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Zhirong - although this girl was rustic, she writhed just right when she walked, without a little vulgarity.

So this Shen Zhirong was inexplicably crowned with the title of a 'concubine', and after some attention from the grandmothers, she was sent to the palace.

In Shen Zhirong's eyes, this is not a good thing at all. His irresponsible father didn't let his daughter come, obviously because he was frightened every step in the deep palace.

"Oh, I said Shen Shu, you ...... When you enter the palace, you enter the palace, what are you doing when you call me over? ”

Shen Zhirong suddenly heard an inappropriate voice in his ears, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, and his heart was shocked when he saw it.

Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian came side by side, and said softly: "It's all the emperor, he didn't let me enter the palace at this point in time today, and said that he wanted to come in from here, I knew that this matter was wrong when I thought about it, he asked me to go through this side door, and he must have asked me to help him first take a look at these women who are preparing for the palace election today." ”

Shen Mi's mind Shen Shu can think of it without thinking, just look at the bottomless look in his heart yesterday, and know why he is asked to walk through the side door that he usually doesn't walk today.

But Huang Ming can't be disobeyed, Shen Shu always felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to go to this place full of women, so he dragged Shi Qingqian out and asked her to accompany him.

"What!?" Listening to Shen Shu's words, Shi Qingqian raised his eyebrows at the moment, and rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to beat someone, "Dare to let my man choose a woman for him!?" I'll kill you and you'll beat it first! ”

Maybe it's a little loud, and the people waiting on this road are all women who want to choose concubines, and they are all beautiful ladies, Shi Qingqian shouted like this, it really seemed a little vulgar.

Feeling the sight like fire, Shi Qing's figure was stunned, only to feel extremely embarrassed, and the next second he heard the suppressed laughter of Shen Shu beside him.

Shi Qingqian was just about to glance over his head to scold him, but Shen Zhirong walked over slowly, her right hand twisted the fan, her hands folded on the left side of her body, and she bowed with her waist straight, even the gesture of this salute was so charming.

The maid behind her obviously didn't expect Shen Zhirong to come over to greet Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian in a hurry, so she hurriedly chased after her, so she had to salute with Shen Zhirong's movements.

"Shen Zhirong, the daughter of Shen Wanghai, the courtier's daughter of Dongzhou Tingwei, has come to meet Shen Xiaowang and Baoying County Lord."

Shen Zhirong's voice is like an ethereal bird, tactful and beautiful.

Maybe it was because the demeanor of the person in front of him was too charming, and the actions and words of the salute were in line with the norms, Shi Qingqian looked at her and was a little ashamed of herself, so she quickly patted her messy rolled sleeves, and bowed with a chuckle when she learned her posture.

Shen Shu withdrew his smile and nodded dignifiedly.

"I have long heard that the lord of Baoying County is not only beautiful but also full of wealth, comparable to the famous Su Juan girl in the capital back then, and now when the courtiers see it, they really feel like a heavenly maiden descending to earth, so that people can't take their eyes off it at all." Shen Zhirong smiled kindly, and he spoke very sincerely.

As soon as he heard the name 'Su Xuan', Shi Qingqian hurriedly glanced at Shen Shu beside him, but fortunately, he didn't react. Thinking that this Shen Zhirong girl is also innocent, Shen Shu doesn't mind, and she naturally won't mind.

So Shi Qingqian smiled and said: "Miss Shen is really elevated, although I have not been in contact with Miss Shen before, but Miss Shen's graceful demeanor and peerless elegance really make me ashamed." Miss Shen is such a second person, and she treats the draft so hard, she must be able to come out on top today. ”

Although I don't know what this Shen Zhirong did when he came over suddenly, he ...... It never hurts to boast!

Shen Zhirong looked down at his clothes and quickly smiled, "That'...... I borrowed the auspicious words of the lord of Baoying County. ”

"Huh? Speaking of which...... Does Miss Shen know my family's prince? Shi Qing tilted his head and asked suddenly.
