The footsteps of the show girls became farther and farther away, and the silence in front of the imperial city returned to its former glory. Jingzi carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked her head out, she only looked at the people who entered the city gate, but did not notice that someone had been standing behind the carriage for a long time.

"Are you a show girl who just arrived?"

Jingzi suddenly retracted her head back into the car, she didn't plan to answer the man's question, but the voice outside the car sounded again: "Excuse me, are you a show girl who just arrived?" ”

She didn't even dare to look back at that face, she was just hiding as a thief. Time passed slowly, but Jing Zi didn't hear his footsteps leaving, nervously twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and said in his heart: Why are you so unlucky, you actually met a nosy.

"If you are a show girl, please hurry up and enter the palace, the ceremony is about to begin."

"No, I'm the maid of Lu Mansion, waiting for our young lady!"

Jingzi was finally annoyed by her, and opened her mouth to reply, hoping that he would be able to leave quickly after hearing it.

"Maid?"

Xiao Jianchen recalled the dress of the girl just now, although he was a man, he was also used to seeing how the ladies of all grades in the palace dressed up on weekdays. How can a maid wear a lotus golden step? How can a maid be dressed in Luo Qi? The most important thing is that if it is really the maid of the Lu Mansion, then why are the other maids and mothers-in-law standing next to the car looking at themselves now and stopping?

It seems that there must be a hidden secret! On the day of a show girl's draft, a show girl hid in the carriage and didn't want to come out, was she unwilling to enter the palace to run for election at all?

"Girl, whether you are Miss Lu or not, I just want to tell you. The palace draft is an order of the heavenly family, and all women who apply for the draft are not allowed to be absent, otherwise they will be beheaded for public display, and at worst they will be connected to the nine clans. So, please think twice. ”

There was no response in the carriage, but the maid who was standing on the side became a little anxious, especially when Xiao Jianchen said: "From the point of view, the girl is not Miss Lu Family, and when the incident happens, I am afraid that even Miss Lu Family will be implicated, wouldn't it harm an innocent person?" ”

I had never heard the cold sweat coming out of my palms, and fine beads of sweat oozed from my forehead. Jingzi never seemed to think that escaping the draft would have such serious consequences. Think about the father and mother in the house, as well as the sister who is in the back position in the palace, and even Miss Lu who was involved by herself for no reason. She couldn't be so selfish, and the time ceremony was about to begin, and in a flash of light, she decided to let go of her selfishness.

"Say no more!"

Jingzi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Without anyone holding him, he jumped out of the car, lifted his skirt and ran towards the palace gate. She thought that as long as she ran fast enough, that despair and heartache would be left far behind. The draft has to go on, and she can't shed tears, or even have a little bit of sadness.

Entering the palace and becoming a woman by the emperor's side is the wish of many ordinary women. The only thing is not Jingzi's wish, she once fantasized about finding an ordinary husband, immersed in the stability and happiness of her husband and children every day. may have watched Jing Hui bear the weight of the queen's position since she was a child, so although she envied the life of fine clothes and food, and the authority of calling the wind and rain, she didn't feel that they were warm.

There is already a woman in Jingfu who has buried her life's happiness in this solemn palace, why should she send another one in? Silently stopped, turned around, all the glitz was already behind him, this door, this wall, it was to isolate all his fantasies.

Outside the city gate, a mighty man with a saber at his waist was standing there, it should be the person who was talking to him just now! They were so far apart that it seemed as if smoke and dust were filling between them, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.

"Shen Tangzhou, the daughter of Shen Wangjing, a native of Lianzhou, is sixteen years old!"

With the eunuch holding the roster in his hand, Shen Tangzhou lowered his head and walked into the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Courtier Shen Tangzhou sees the emperor and queen!"

Since beating Shen Tangzhou and entering the side hall, there were a few voices among the show girls: "It turns out that her name is Shen Tangzhou, I don't know what she was doing in the opposite direction just now?" ”

"Ouch!"

There was an exclamation from the back of the show girl line, and everyone looked back to see a messy show girl carrying a skirt and colliding with a little palace maid carrying a tray. That exclamation was made by the little palace maid, and the grandmother next to her glanced at the palace maid. took a step forward and asked the show girl, "Which show girl are you in?" ”

"Mama, I'm the lady of the chariot Changjing Huai."

As soon as she heard Jing Huai's name, the grandmother, who had a straight face, immediately changed her face and asked softly: "Why is Miss late?" Without waiting for Jing Zi to answer, he led her forward, "Miss Jing, please come here." ”

"Sister......

The position originally arranged for Jingzi was next to the Lu family's concubine, and when she saw the candidate Lu family, she called timidly.

Lu Shi was also tensing the strings, waiting for the transmission, when he heard this, he slowly turned around, and he was also surprised. glanced around, but it was not the time to speak, so he could only pretend to be polite: "Sister, it turns out that this position is reserved for you?" After that, he smiled at the mama who led the way.

When the grandmother left, looking at Jingzi's dejected appearance, she couldn't help but reach out and pull her, and whispered: "This is your life, since you can't escape, just admit it." ”

"Shen Tangzhou, retain!"

"Wow, this is the first one to be retained today!"

"It's quite a bit beautiful......"

Watching Shen Tangzhou come out of the side hall and follow the back of the guide girl Shi leaving, the rest of the show girls were envious, but also had a lot of jealousy.

"Jiuqing's right is Lu Duqing's daughter, Lu Yao, seventeen years old!"

Lu Yao...... Green Waist ...... Li Qunyu once wrote the poem "Green Waist" to describe the feeling of watching the green waist dance up close, how to say it? 'There are beautiful women in the south of the country, light and green waist dance'. Ji Hongduo sat on the dragon chair and chanted in a low voice.

"The feast is in the autumn twilight, and the clouds and rain are flying. It is as graceful as a dragon and as graceful as a dragon. The more Yan strikes the Qianxi, Wu Ji stops the white silk. The slow state cannot be poor, and the complex posture is curved to the end. The low lotus breaks the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind. When it falls, it wanders, and the repair wants to go back to the void. I couldn't catch it, so I flew away to chase the shock. Lu Yao continued Ji Hongduo's poem, continued to chant the whole poem, and said: "The courtiers are not talented, but if the emperor does not give up, he can dance a green waist for you!" ”

After that, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Ji Hongduo's majestic appearance with his residual eyes. Immediately, he lowered his head again, and he was as gentle and moving as a lotus flower.

"Haha!" Ji Hongduo was impressed by Lu Yao's talent, and was also moved by her dignified generosity. praised on the spot: "What a green-waisted beauty, I like it very much." ”

Jing Hui sat aside, glanced at Emperor Wei, and said with a smile: "The concubine also thinks it's very good!" ”

With the sentence "Lu Yao, retain", Lu Yao's long road to Wei Palace finally took the first step, and everything was expected. And not long after her, Jingzi also entered the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Even though she knew there was no such possibility, she still wanted to see if she could lose the election. The messy step shake, and I didn't tidy it up, and there were sweat stains on my face just now.

As soon as she saw Jing Zi's appearance, Jing Hui was a little displeased, so she peeked up at Jing Zi and was glared at by Jing Hui. Ji Hongduo watched everything coldly, and smiled unconsciously: "Does Feng Niang think that it is difficult for Azi to enter the elegant hall?" ”

Jing Hui glanced at Emperor Wei with disgust, turned her head and asked Jing Zi: "Why do you look like this?" ”

"Back to the queen's words, courtier...... It was late, and I trotted all the way into the palace. ”

"What a system!" Jing Hui patted the phoenix chair, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of majesty.

"Okay, okay, I think it's good, isn't that how lively the little girl is?" Ji Hongduo comforted Jingwei, but ended Jingzi's dream of freedom with a word. His thin lips closed one by one, and he said to Cheng Hai beside him, "Keep it!" ”

The two sisters glanced at each other, but they were happy and worried. dragged her tired steps out of the Xuanzheng Palace, and the female history who led the way led her to the apse. The previous selected show girls were waiting here, and they stood up and saluted each other.

That Shen Tangzhou was docile, always holding something in his hand, but he couldn't see what it really was, and he greeted a show girl who came in. Lu Yao and Jing Zi were already familiar with each other, and when they saw Jing Zi coming in, Lu Yao got up and took her hand and sat beside her.

There are two other show girls, I don't know whose family they are, they just sit quietly and don't talk to them, looking very reserved.
