The daylight is just right at noon. I stood quietly under the porch feeding the canaries in the cage. asked Xiao Anzi lightly: "Is the booklet of the Eight Banners Woman ready for the Ministry of Households?"

Xiao Anzi bowed and said, "Hui Niangniang was ready earlier. It's not going to be two days away."

I nodded. He put the bird food in his hand to the canary's beak. There was a sudden sigh in my heart. It was about this time that I entered the palace draft.

It's time for a triennial election. According to the regulations: the daughter of the Eight Banners of Fanman, Mongolia and Han. to the age of thirteen. All have to participate in the selection of show girls every three years. And this year, because of the Queen Mother's Bintian, the number of show girls entering the palace has been reduced. It's probably because of the upcoming draft. The harem has been much duller than ever these days. Open your eyes one by one to see what kind of characters can enter the palace.

Following. The mule cart that sent the draft girl was still waiting outside the palace all night. When the Shenwu Gate was wide open, he slowly entered the palace. I woke up early in the morning. After freshening up, get up and add a phoenix robe. The pearl hung around his neck. I looked at myself in the mirror and looked extraordinarily grand.

Yongyan is still in the Body Yuan Palace. And I just need to wait in the Yanhui Pavilion for the selected show girls to come over. It's not yet noon. I sat leisurely on the phoenix chair in Yanhui Pavilion and picked up a cup of tea. Carefully taste the dragon well before the rain. Fleur came in and said with a smile, "Niangniang. The slave maid just went to see it. The girls are very beautiful and decent. The pattern is also a first-class outstanding. There are ten girls who have come to our Yanhui Pavilion."

"Ten." I read faintly. Laughing: "Even if it's a hundred. I don't always have to pick out a satisfactory one."

Mama led a row of show girls slowly walked in the courtyard of Yanhui Pavilion and waited. Mama walked in and said respectfully and flatteringly: "Back to the queen mother. The girls are coming. Let's see if I'm going to come in now."

I fiddled with my armor. Leave Mama alone for a while. Only then did he slowly speak: "You don't need to come in now. We'll talk about that later. Tell them to stand in the courtyard."

Mama was slightly stunned. There was surprise in his eyes and he said, "Niangniang. This. It's not good to miss the hour later."

I glanced at Mama coldly. Waving his hand, he said, "What. Haven't you heard the will of this palace? Mama is in charge of her own affairs. It's still up to the palace to call the shots."

Mama immediately bent down and wiped her sweat and nodded: "Yes. Empress. Let them stand."

Ten show girls were divided into two teams and stood. After about an hour, you can have lunch. I will lean against the window. Through the carved gap, I watched the show girl outside's every move. Fufeng leaned over and said, "Niangniang. Are we going to pick some women who look gentle and beautiful? At the very least, it's a matter of knowing books and etiquette."

I smiled faintly. I didn't answer for a long time. Suddenly, he said: "Every woman here is knowledgeable. That's not what Hongu values."

Fufeng smiled. reminded on the side: "Mother. Switched to lunch. I've been staring at it for so long. It's time to rest."

I glanced at the harsh midday sun. He waved his hand at Fufeng faintly. Now is the best time to put it to the test. I'll use it later."

The two teams of show girls are all dressed in brocade clothes. The delicate makeup on the face looks like it has been carefully taken care of. I've been standing for an hour. At the beginning, the show girls who were standing in a regular manner began to make small movements. Wipe your sweat for a while. A sore waist for a while. Or they muttered in surprise. I'm probably guessing what kind of medicine I'm selling in my gourd.

Xiao Anzi is behind him. Hurriedly said: "Niangniang. The emperor's side has already been elected. Only one show girl was picked. She is the daughter of the Han family. The emperor has already urged us to come here."

I waved my hand to signal Xiao Anzi not to worry. said lightly: "Tell the emperor. It's going to take a while here in this palace. Until the end, this palace will not choose."

In the astonished gaze of everyone, I still sat calmly. Suddenly, the two show girls fainted. And then was sent out. Then another passed out. In this way. In the end, only five were left standing there. The other five were put off because of their delicateness.

My eyes caught eye on a woman in blue clothes in the middle. He stood motionless from noon. The hand has been clenched tightly into a fist. Looking down at my side, I couldn't see her face clearly. But you can feel the perseverance that emanates from her.

I took a sip of my tea." What time has it been?" The eyes glanced at the sleepy Fufeng on the side.

Fufeng immediately woke up and said, "Niangniang. It's going sunset."

I was surprised and "oh." smack. Suddenly, I heard a woman's shouting. I subconsciously looked out the window. The woman in blue clothes was arguing with Mama. And a woman beside her crouched down as if she was uncomfortable.

"What's going on?" I got up and walked out and asked.

The crowd knelt down in unison. Mama bowed her head and said, "Back to Niangniang. The girl said she was not feeling well. But the mother didn't say she wanted to see the girls. The slave and maid said to wait. But the girl next to her got anxious with the slave and maid, saying that the slave and maid would not save her when she saw death."

Mama glared at the girl in blue clothes. I looked at the woman beside her with a pale face. Big drops of sweat flowed down." If you're not feeling well, go down. Pick up the sign."

The sick woman gave me a grateful look. After thanking you got up and seemed happy to leave. I glanced at the woman in blue clothes. Good looks. Frowning furrows. There seemed to be a look of annoyance on his face. The eyebrows are very delicate and clean. It makes people feel very comfortable.

"What's your name?" I asked with a smile,

The woman in blue clothes said slowly: "Back to the queen. The people's daughter's name is Liu Yiyi."

I gave her an approving look." Why did you have the courage to argue with Mama just now? Aren't you afraid that this palace will blame you?"

Liu Yiyi was slightly stunned. Said cautiously: "Hui Niangniang. The folk girl just thinks she should be very sick. All I think about is saving people. Didn't think of anything else. Please forgive the concubine."

I smiled and patted her hand. She looked at me flattered. I approving, "You are brave and kind. Hongu appreciates it very much. You want to stay in the harem. If you don't want to. Hongu doesn't force it."

Liu Yiyi smiled. Until just now, the folk girl thought that the queen was a majestic and jealous woman. Not now."

My eyes twitched. chuckled, "You're bold. Hongu appreciates it very much. This palace is the only one who will keep you."

Liu Yiyi happily knelt down and thanked her. Maybe only a woman like Liu Yiyi can survive in the harem. Those weak women who can't stand my test can't stand the wind and rain at all. Entering the palace is also in vain. That's why I've kept them standing for so long.
