After entering the palace, each show girl was assigned a place to live according to the size of her father's official position. Because Ouyang Tong is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has a separate room. "Miss lives here, and she has to do etiquette training every day, and after three days, the draft will be." A kind-looking grandmother said to Ouyang Tong. Ouyang Tong saluted seriously: "Thank you, Mama." Then, the maid beside Ouyang Tong stuffed some silver coins into Mama. Mama took the money, thanked her, and left. "Miss, let's go inside." Ouyang Tong's personal maid Yue'er reminded in a low voice. Ouyang Tong looked at the many show girls outside, each of them covered their faces with white veils, and they were dressed generously and decently, so they were not so nervous.

"With so many show girls, I may not be selected, and there is hope for seeing my parents again." Ouyang Tong muttered. Yue'er said with a smile: "Other families want to be selected, only Miss wants to be unsuccessful." Ouyang Tong walked to the room and sat down: "What is good to choose, and from now on you and your family will be separated." Yue'er nodded: "What Miss said is true." Ouyang Tong looked at Yue'er seriously: "Yue'er, you have been by my side since you were a child, and you have to accompany me when you enter the palace, I only want to say one word today, if you are selected, I will definitely protect your life in the harem in the future." Yue'er looked at Ouyang Tong and said seriously: "Miss, when my parents sold me into the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was only eight years old, if Miss hadn't chosen me to serve you, maybe I would have died in the Prime Minister's Mansion a long time ago, and Yue'er's life was given by Miss." If you enter the harem, Yue'er's life is nothing to take care of, and I will do my best to protect Miss. ”

Ouyang Tong held Yue'er's hand: "If you enter the harem, you and I will be hard-working people." Yue'er had tears in her eyes: "Miss, Yue'er is not bitter, as long as Yue'er can be by Miss's side, she will not be bitter." Ouyang Tong sighed softly: "I only hope that after three days, we can leave this palace." Ouyang Tong took off her veil and took a sip of tea, she looked at the room carefully, and it was clean and elegant. It must have been my father who paid for my room. Ouyang Tong muttered. Yue'er nodded: "Xiangye really loves Miss, and after entering the palace, Miss was not embarrassed." Ouyang Tong nodded: "Father and mother are also doing their best for me. Yue'er packed up her things: "Miss, in fact, in the early years, I still didn't like Xiangye and Mrs. Xiang. Ouyang Tong looked at Yue'er and asked curiously, "Why?" Yue'er sat on the pedal: "Xiangye and Mrs. let you study every day, from morning to evening, Miss has never rested for a day." ”

Ouyang Tong laughed when he heard this: "I can't imagine that you still feel sorry for me." Yue'er nodded: "Miss taught me to read and write, and she just asked me to do what I could, but Mrs. and Xiangye treated you as a grinding, pushing forward one by one." Ouyang Tong put away his smile and was silent for a while: "Father and mother also want me to become a talent." Yue'er shook her head: "Miss has learned too much, let alone becoming a talent, it's no problem to be an official." Ouyang Tong said with a smile: "Then I will go to the examination to gain fame in the future, how about you be my scholar?" Yue'er nodded: "Okay, okay, Miss writes, I sharpen ink, Miss reads and I practice calligraphy." Ouyang Tong imagined that picture: "Well, my little scholar is very motivated and a good student. Yue'er put down her things, stood up and pretended to be a book bucket: "Childe, the list is released, come and see." "Congratulations to Childe for being the top student in high school." Ouyang Tong covered his mouth and smiled secretly.

During the three days of etiquette training, my aunt taught everything she could. "Miss, tomorrow is the draft, the etiquette is almost the same, Miss has learned very well, tomorrow's draft, she will definitely be selected." My aunt said some auspicious words. Ouyang Tong saluted his aunt: "Borrow my aunt's auspicious words." "Yue'er stuffed some broken silver for her aunt." Thank you, Miss, the etiquette has been learned today, Miss should rest early. Ouyang Tong saluted: "Thank you, auntie." After my aunt left, Yue'er helped Ouyang Tong to sit down on a chair. Is Miss tired? Yue'er asked as she poured water. Fortunately, after all, I still practice martial arts. Yue'er handed the water to Ouyang Tong: "Miss drink saliva." Ouyang Tong took off his veil and took a sip of water. Miss, is this veil stuffy? Yue'er took the veil and hung it on the shelf.

"It's not stuffy, it's just tulle." Ouyang Tong said with a smile. Yue'er walked back to Ouyang Tong's side: "Miss, why do you say that the young ladies are wearing veils?" Ouyang Tong thought for a while: "Maybe I'm afraid that my aunts will talk about it." Yue'er covered her mouth and said with a snicker: "I'm afraid that those young ladies will regret entering the palace when I read the book." Ouyang Tong was puzzled: "What does this mean?" Yue'er whispered: "If they see Miss's face, I'm afraid they will know that they can't choose." Ouyang Tong patted Yue'er's hand: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense. Yue'er coughed and got serious: "Tomorrow, you won't be able to take off the veil until the inner sanctum of the draft." Ouyang Tong nodded: "Yes." Yue'er nodded: "This is excellent, my young lady's immortal face can't be looked at by those ordinary people." Ouyang Tong touched his face: "Many times, I wish I looked ugly. Ouyang Tong said this with some grievances. Yue'er looked at Ouyang Tong seriously: "Miss, there is nothing wrong with being beautiful, this is your advantage, not a disadvantage." ”

Early the next morning, the show girls got up and dressed up. Ouyang Tong was the only one, who simply freshened up after waking up and put on the clothes of the palace faction. "Miss is very beautiful in this dress." After Yue'er changed Ouyang Tong's clothes, she praised seriously. "Do you remember the bun that your aunt taught?" Ouyang Tong sat in front of the vanity mirror and asked seriously. "Remember, you must comb the lady's clothes properly." Yue'er combed her hair in a bun earnestly while saying the auspicious words taught by her aunt. "Out!" With the eunuch's order, the doors of each room opened. Each lady wore the same clothes, the same bun, and the same pure white veil. Each lady was arranged in two neat columns according to the room number, and the maids waited in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's minions will lead the way for all young ladies." The eunuch saluted respectfully. "Thank you, father-in-law." The two columns of young ladies saluted neatly to the eunuch. "Up." The eunuch shook off the dust in his hand and slowly walked towards the inner hall of the draft with two columns of people. Along the way, when all the palace maids and eunuchs saw this team, they would turn their backs to the team, facing the wall, and they didn't even dare to come out. When a ray of sunlight shone on the palace wall, two neat columns had already appeared in front of the inner sanctum. The whole palace was silent, and there was not even the sound of birds. "The emperor has arrived." The voice of the eunuch came from inside the hall. "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." The procession saluted neatly towards the door of the inner sanctum. "Up!" The voice of the eunuch came from inside the hall. "The draft begins! The show girl enters the temple. The eunuch's voice came. The door of the inner hall opened from the inside, and the two eunuchs came out and entered the hall with the beautiful girl.

After entering the hall, the two rows of show girls changed from two vertical rows to two horizontal rows. There are three rooms in the inner hall, the show girls stand in the outermost one, and the emperor sits far away in the deepest part of the inner hall, looking at the show girls in front of him seriously, between the emperor and the show girls, there is another room, the light is excellent. A eunuch led the first row of ladies to the front room. The sun shines down, and the neat and uniform show girls all descend like fairies. "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." The show girls saluted the emperor neatly. The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch shouted: "Get up! Then, the emperor looked at the row of show girls in front of him one by one, and then pointed to a show girl on the side.

The little eunuch walked up to the show girl and whispered, "Miss, please come in." The young lady saluted, walked with steady steps, and walked to the house in front of the emperor. Chen Yu, the daughter of Chen Yuan, the head of the household, see the emperor. The show girl bowed, then knelt on the ground and took off her veil, bowing her head and waiting for the emperor's order. The emperor raised his hand, and Gonggong Huang on the side said, "Raise your head." The show girl slowly raised her head, but she didn't dare to raise her eyes. The emperor looked at it carefully, and then waved his hand. "Abandon the brand, give 100 gold." Huang Gonggong said businessmanlikely.
