Chapter 268: Settle the Show Girl
Looking at it, the entire courtyard from the palace gate to the palace gate was cleaned, and the palace maid who got up early only had time to clean the courtyard, but the stone table had not yet had time to clean, after all, it was cold and did not get up so early.
The eldest prince suddenly said that he wanted to have breakfast on the stone table, no matter whether Nalan Lan'er agreed or not, the palace maid in charge of cleaning would have to do it immediately. Prepare these places.
There was still evidence of cold temperatures on the stone table, covered with a layer of ice, but it hadn't snowed yet. Nalan Lan'er reached out and touched the stone table, only to feel that it was freezing abnormally. 、
"Lin'er, this stone table hasn't been cleaned up after a night of frost, do you have to eat here?" Tempting the eldest prince's thoughts.
The eldest prince naturally saw the ice on the stone table, stepped forward and pulled back Nalan Lan'er's hand and said, "Mother, can you let the palace maid sister clean up the table quickly?" ”
It seems that she is obsessed with wanting to eat on this stone table, Nalan Lan'er looked at the sky, in fact, she felt that it was not bad to eat outside, anyway, it was not snowing or raining, and she turned back to Wan'er and said, "Tell the other palace maids to clean up this stone table as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, sissy." Wan'er saluted, and when she turned around, she went to call someone to clean up.
After a quarter of an hour of walking around the courtyard, the table was ready, and breakfast came up, the eldest prince had to go to school every day after breakfast, and after Nalan Lan'er saw him leave, he went back to the desk in the dormitory, and continued to read other works, she commanded without raising her head: "Tell the grandmother of Guangxiu Palace that the list of selected show girls will be announced this afternoon." ”
Cai Lian bowed and retreated, and it seemed that she had been a little busy for a few days.
After Cai Lian left, Nalan Lan'er flipped through the works of the prime minister's daughter, compared to others, just a little better but not very good, for her father's name, she also wanted to stay, time was in a hurry, and the works that didn't need to be looked at carefully were rough, and the rest were those that didn't have a designated back. Jing needs to make a good comparison.
The method of Nalan Lan'er comparison is very simple, pick up two works and compare them, the good ones are placed on the left, and the bad ones are placed on the right. When you've read them all, take the one on the right and compare it with the two on the left, and so on, until there are fifty left.
The show girls enter the palace and choose even numbers, which is also convenient for her to compare.
After tidying up, Nalan Lan'er stood up, and the list written last night on the rice paper only had a few four or five names, and there was no need for it at this time.
It's good to take these works together to Guangxiu Palace, both sides are full of calligraphy and paintings, and only two are placed separately, that is, Yanzi and Guo Yinyin.
Cai Lian left, Wan'er came in from the outside, and after seeing Nalan Lan'er standing up, she stepped forward to pinch her shoulder and beat her back and said, "Niang Niang has sat for half an hour and has not moved, so she must be tired." ”
Nalan Lan'er smiled, her eyes fell on the calligraphy and painting on the left, and let Wan'er hammer it for a while to relieve it and then ordered: "When you finish these things, you will leave the fifty pairs of calligraphy and paintings on the left, and pack the rest and send them away." ”
Wan'er glanced at it and signaled that the fifty pairs of calligraphy and paintings were the selected show girls.
Nalan Lan'er watched Wan'er clean up the eliminated calligraphy and paintings, and then watched her go out, and then she was left alone.
She thought for a moment, hooked the corners of her mouth, and put the calligraphy and paintings of the daughter of the Taifu and the daughter of the prime minister at the end at the end, and then began to fold and sort them out one by one.
I don't know if it's close to noon, as if it will be lunch time in a while, Nalan Lan'er opened the window not far from the desk, and the evergreen trees on the side of the wall that were some distance from her were scattered outside each palace, and the branches inside were already bare, only they were standing, shaking with the wind.
That's where my brother hid last night, right? Seeing her open the window, she came in, but unfortunately she only knew one and a half moves, and if she knew martial arts in the palace, she would probably be able to help her brother.
Wan'er quickly came back from outside, and saw that the fifty pairs of calligraphy and paintings on the desk were neatly arranged, and the master was by the window and looked out without fear of the cold.
She stepped forward to look at Nalan Lan'er and said, "Niangniang, do you need to add a piece of clothing for you?" ”
Nalan Lan'er shook her head, "I don't know if Imperial Doctor Wen's method is effective, and now this palace is not so afraid of the cold." ”
Wan'er was still not at ease on the side: "Niangniang, everyone will be afraid of the cold, you touch your hands, I'm afraid that it will be very cold." ”
Hearing this, Nalan Lan'er stretched out her hands and put them in front of her eyes, and the wind surging in from the window tightly poured into her raised sleeves, and she shivered all over her body.
Wan'er saw the opportunity to act, and immediately closed the window, but now there was no wind, only the coldness on her body had not retreated. Regardless of Nalan Lan'er's eyes looking at her, Wan'er helped her to sit down on a chair and silently made tea for her.
When Nalan Lan'er was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, she came back to her senses a little, the light in this room was very sufficient, and after thinking about what she was going to do in Guangxiu Palace in the afternoon, she suddenly remembered whether to ask those concubines to go together?
It's easy to get acquainted with each other, and it's better to let them fight each other, which also saves her some effort.
She looked at Wan'er: "Wan'er, do you remember what you told me about the show girl you saw in the pavilion that day?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, Wan'er still remembers." Wan'er said respectfully.
The two show girls are very good-looking, which is unforgettable, even if she is a woman.
Nalan Lan'er bowed his head: "When you read the list of people who stand up, if there are the two you see, you will pull the sleeves of the palace." ”
"Wan'er understands." She hoped that the war of these show girls would happen soon, but Nalan Lan'er had to win, and she couldn't be defeated by the show girls chosen by the queen mother.
It's very lively here, Cining Palace over there is almost going to be a doctor again, the queen mother heard that the eldest prince Lin'er has lived in Huayan Palace, and in addition to the people who travel are still the former slaves, the servants who are waiting for them have already changed.
also said that the emperor told them to silence and not spread anything, for fear that the queen mother would know about it.
"Is the emperor really mourning for his family?" The Queen Mother clutched her chest, and a dull pain came from her chest.
Cining Palace still exudes a slight smell of vanilla, and it is a little dizzy when it smells too much, and the smeller does not know it.
Mama Liu was afraid that something would happen to the Queen Mother, so she had always been calm, but she couldn't calm down after encountering Nalan Lan'er's matter.
I am afraid that I have stabbed my own son, and the pressure and guilt in my heart will erupt again after seeing Nalan Lan'er. Holding the state of daring to be angry and not daring to move, the queen mother's body seems to be getting worse.
"Master! What are you doing, what are you angry about, didn't the emperor say that he didn't want you to worry about it? You want the emperor to work state affairs every day, how can you know that the slaves around the eldest prince were sent by you, and fortunately I don't know that you sent them, otherwise I am afraid that they will be affected badly. Mama Liu said in the back while patting her back.
The Empress Dowager felt that her words were strange again, "What's the good fortune that I don't know that it was sent by the mourning family?" ”
Mama Liu sorted out the news she heard, "Master, I heard that the eldest prince had a stomach discomfort a while ago and was suspected of eating too many pastries, so the emperor complained that the servants around the eldest prince were not good at taking care of them, and they did not control those pastries to the eldest prince to eat." You are busy with state affairs, and you are not in good health, so you sent the eldest prince to Concubine Nalan. ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she said coldly: "When those servants were sent back, I ordered the Internal Affairs Office to punish them with five rods!" The eldest prince does not take care of what he eats, and he is punished lightly. ”
Mama Liu sighed in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face, what is the palace, the master doesn't take the life of the slave in his eyes, what does the master of the slave want, can he not give it?
Left and right are not people.
There were a lot of worries, and the Queen Mother, accompanied by Mama Liu, went to the Buddhist hall to chant and meditate.
Besides, Nalan Lan'er here, after lunch, he took a few palace maids to Guangxiu Palace with calligraphy and paintings, where the show girls who had been waiting for a long time stood there, and they didn't see the concubine Niangniang every other day, and this etiquette was not forgotten, and they called neatly.
"Welcome to the concubine."
Nalan Lan'er sat down in the middle seat under the greeting of the crowd, and looked at the saluted crowd and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”
"Xie Guifei Niangniang."
The two grandmothers in charge of the show girl have been waiting for Nalan Lan'er to summon them, which means that today's show girl has a result. I have also seen the concubine Niangniang and Queen Yunshan choose a show girl together. But at that time, the concubine didn't seem to be so strict.
Nalan Lan'er looked at a table on the side, and instructed the palace maid who had been holding the calligraphy and painting firmly to put the calligraphy and painting on the table, and this look was bottomed.
It seems that the concubine has been selected.
Nalan Lan'er motioned to the two grandmothers to come over and said to them: "Two grandmothers, these calligraphy and paintings are the list of girls left behind, please read them slowly." ”
The two grandmothers couldn't figure out what Nalan Lan'er meant, but the mother asked to read it slowly, so read it slowly.
The two grandmothers were allowed to say, moistened their throats and began to shout: "Today, Guifei Niangniang, the show girl who has been selected to enter the palace, let the old slave report slowly, and the show girl who read the name please stand up and make another row." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people's hearts were raised, and after entering the palace for so many days, there was finally a final judgment result, but they were in an awkward position in this palace.
"Liu Yuexin, Zhang Zirong ......"
Every time Mama shouted one, someone immediately stood up, and when they read it, they had already dragged out the sound for a long time.
Nalan Lan'er listened carefully to the name and looked at the person who stood up, trying to hear the face of the person she wanted to see, but she knew in her heart that those two people did not stand up quickly.
As half of the number passed, Nalan Lan'er glanced at Wan'er, who shook her head and nodded again.
Then leaned over to Nalan Lan'er and said, "Niangniang, Wan'er has seen those two people, but she doesn't know the names." ”
