Before Xiaohan, the Mingguang Hall was renovated, and the craftsmen were divided into three shifts, day and night, to have this progress.

Qingchi, the newly promoted chief of the harem, was very satisfied after inspecting it, and said a reward, and the little eunuchs immediately went to distribute the reward.

The craftsmen are grateful to kowtow like pounding garlic at the bottom, and the New Year is approaching, everyone is looking forward to getting the money and going home, and every face is filled with a spring-like smile.

The chief manager was very happy to see everyone kneeling on both sides like holding the stars and moons, and he was now so decent.

casually admonished two sentences, and finally said: "You all listen well, after the spring ploughing, Your Majesty will still repair the garden."

When the time comes, you will invite the master and apprentice to come and serve me well. ”

When everyone heard that there would be a living next year, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The chief manager unloaded his errand, got off duty, and walked on the sidewalk in the palace, thinking of the changes in the palace in the past two months, he was really full of emotion.

As soon as he was not careful, he fell down, tripped over the weeds under the snow, and was hugged by someone behind his back when he stumbled.

Who is so bold in the palace forbidden?

He wanted to shout, but for a moment his mouth was covered, as if the man knew his mind.

The man's voice also came from his ears, "Boss, don't come to harm?" ”

Hearing the voice, his guard immediately let go, and he even had a hint of joy that he was not fully aware of.

"Hua Shao, why did you enter the palace?"

"Shhhh

"Why don't you go through the main gate and fly from the eaves again? Get caught carefully and peel off your skin! Kiyochi said worriedly.

"Who dares? You've been careful, too. Besides, your boss has a waist card to enter the palace, where did I get the waist card.

Didn't you take it all in last time? Hua Shao took the opportunity to complain.

"Don't mess around, take the eunuch's waist card, what do you pretend. And in this palace, you will not come in the future. Now it's different, and the new emperor is not easy to serve. ”

Qingchi said, he was a little embarrassed, thinking of the later period of Emperor Anlie, the palace ban was relaxed, where is it like now.

And when the two men said this, they went far away.

The guard at the gate of the palace is Hua Shao's friend in the Hualang Society, and seeing him is like seeing the air.

He didn't ask anything, and he didn't even say hello.

"Hey, you're really a bit of a talent?"

"What kind of ability, if Your Majesty doesn't give me a waist card, can I come in? Isn't it just hanging around your waist? ”

Hua Shao pointed at it casually, Qingchi picked it up and saw that it was the waist card of the Nijo Division, and laughed unconsciously, "You are more and more good at playing tricks on people, and you didn't tell me earlier that you got this good errand." ”

"Let's talk about it in the evening, let's go, I'll take you to a good place."

The two of them walked towards the outside of the palace, and it was ten o'clock in the evening, and the jackdaws landed on the branches one by one, croaking.

In the Guande Hall, the young emperor was looking at the picture books.

The pictures of beauties were opened casually, and the court painters were so strict that they all sat solemnly, and they couldn't see any big difference.

The emperor frowned, he didn't grow up in the deep palace, and the woman had seen all kinds of things.

I think when he was in Pennsylvania, he often sold cloth on the street, and those little ladies came to choose it and looked really cute.

Once you are the Son of Heaven, you can only be beautiful like flowers across the clouds.

Thinking of this, he got up to go to Qiyun Palace, but was stopped by Xiao Dezi beside him, "Your Majesty, I have to circle these beauties out of the ranks today, so that I can meet them in batches." ”

The emperor was displeased, he was the most unpersuadable character, and he overturned the bookcase in a fit of anger, "These Laoshzi jobs are also done by me, what did they do?" ”

So saying, he strode out of the temple gate. Xiao Dezi made amends while hurriedly following up.

Entering the gate of Qiyun Palace, he was still blocked in one breath, unspeakably uncomfortable.

I saw my mother wearing a crown of a concubine, wearing an apricot-colored palace dress, and cutting window flowers at the table, but it was very leisurely.

"Concubine Niangniang, I've come to see you."

Concubine Shu watched her son come in, didn't pay much attention to it, and finished the last bit of work on her hand, Fang raised her head and said, "My son, why did you come here." ”

"This is not to expand the harem, they found some beautiful women's picture scrolls, so that their son can see it." Ji Fansheng said carelessly, as if it was all someone else's business.

"Is there a good one? I think now. If the water is good, but unfortunately you are not that blessed. ”

"Where is she good, her temper is so bad, when she was a child, she didn't beat her three or five times a day."

"Ruoshui is the best, I have watched her grow up, and I have never seen her better. So vibrant, always happy, always energetic.

The women in the palace are beautiful, but they are all the same as dolls. Your queen, if you want me to go, it's fine.

I don't think she's ever had a breath of heat, for fear that she'll be cold to you. When Concubine Shu mentioned the queen, she was still resentful.

"Shhh, don't mention the queen. I don't blame her, let her go. ”

"Son, I've often wondered lately, why might it be better for us to stay together every day when we were in Pennsylvania to enjoy such a blessing in this palace."

"Mother, you can live in peace, you still want me to sell cloth."

The emperor was already in a depressed mood, but after seeing his mother, he was even more depressed.

Ruoshui's smile appeared in his mind, obviously he had been bullied by her since he was a child, but he couldn't hate her, even if she left him like this and ran away.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the day of the beauty pageant was decided after the invitation of Qin Tianjian.

There was no wind or snow on this day, and it was really sunny and good.

The beauties were wrapped in thick mink furs and entered the Mingguang Hall to be selected.

In order to show that the emperor has both virtue and ability and is not greedy for beauty, the emperor did not come to the scene in person, and only showed up a little in the Kunde Hall of the literary examination.

This time the general election also has a charter to follow, and the content of the essay test includes: poetry, calligraphy, painting, and Go, and you can choose one of the four to answer.

There are also piano skills, dance skills, embroidery skills, and cooking skills that can be used as additional items, but they are not scored.

The interview is a little more detailed, and there are five procedures of looking, looking, answering, etiquette, and tea ceremony to show your posture and bearing one by one.

In addition to the recommended girls, there is nothing out of the ordinary in other procedures, and even for the sake of the emperor's reputation, the number of selected candidates has been reduced a lot compared with previous years.

Even the unsuccessful beauty does not have to worry, there are other princes and nobles waiting for this opportunity.

The cold outside the Mingguang Hall invaded the bones, and the warmth inside the Mingguang Hall was pressing.

The golden beasts were spitting cigarettes, and the smoke cage was filled with fine silver dust and charcoal, mixed with incense cakes, and the whole hall was full of fairy energy.

Yu Xi looked at these beauties, or like peach blossoms, or like summer lotus Yanran, or like begonias gorgeous, or like winter plums, her heart couldn't help but be gloomy, it turned out that there were so many women with outstanding appearance in the world.

"The next one, the daughter of Pei Zheng, the waiter from the second grade of the Yellow Gate, Pei Yuxi."

With the guidance of the female celebrant official, Yuxi walked up the middle path, Ying Ying bowed, and saluted the queen mother and the internal officials who presided over the election above.

This worship is the strife of entering the harem, and this worship is bidding farewell to the cardamom years.
