The eyes are smiling, looking at each other with infinite affection. This heart pays one person, and it will be with you for life.

Watching the show, usually five or six people in a row, for the emperor or the queen mother to choose to read, the person who is fancied, leave a nameplate, called a brand; Those who are not selected will be put up a sign. In addition, the show girl who retains the card will be re-selected regularly, and those who are not re-selected are also known as the brand. The show girls who were selected again in the second selection were first, who served the emperor around; One is given to the royal family or clan family.

Seeing the five people entering the royal garden in a row, the time was long or short, and they came out one after another, either happy or sad, or hiding their faces and crying bitterly or crying with joy.

After a short time, the eunuch in charge called Shangguan Lan's name, and Shangguan Lan turned around and said to Wanruo, Chu Xi and Nangong Yan: "Three sisters, I will face the saint first, and wait for Lan'er to come back and report to the three sisters." All three smiled and nodded, sending blessings.

Shangguan Lan'er five people lined up in a line, before and after the fish followed the eunuch in charge, through a few pavilions, a few rockeries, came to the outside of the show, there was already a place surrounded by the grand royal guard of honor, the surrounding lights were bright, so not brilliant, from a distance to see five people kneeling down and saluting back, the opposite should be the emperor and queen, seeing the last row of five people leaving, the chief eunuch next to the emperor Xi Gonggong waved his hand, the eunuch in charge here hurriedly instructed Shangguan Lan'er five people to bow their heads and silence and follow, come to the front of the car and kneel side by side to salute, waiting for inquiry.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Emperor Kangxi, Empress Hesheri, Concubine Zhao Niu Hulu. Dongzhu, Princess Ruobing and others sat upright, each dressed in gorgeous clothes, graceful manners, Xi Gonggong sang loudly, everyone followed three bows and nine bows, after the ceremony, Xi Gonggong continued to sing everyone's name loudly, saying: "Shangguan Lan'er, the daughter of the third-class loyal and righteous Shangguan Qingyun, is twenty-seven years old; Yehenara, the daughter of Taijing'an, Luoyang Prefecture, is twenty-eight years old; ……。 One by one, the family backgrounds and ages of the five people were explained in detail.

Then, the happy father-in-law sang: "Ordered to be flat!" The show girls got up slowly, their eyes drooped, and the attention of Kangxi and Xiaozhuang was immediately attracted by Shangguan Lan'er, and a peony bloomed in front of them, just like a hibiscus Qingli out of the water, just like a fairy coming down to earth, but seeing Shangguan Lan'er:

The face is like mutton fat and moist like jade, and the eyebrows are like willow silk into the clouds,

If the eyes are bright and the moon shines on people's hearts, and the nose is like a hanging gallbladder,

The red lips are lightly opened, and the charm is extraordinary.

This woman should only have it in the palace, what kind of Xizi Diao Chan is!

The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang said: "Shangguan Lan'er, which one is it?" Why did Xiaozhuang ask this, because she wanted to see who the most beautiful of these people was, such a person was Shangguan Lan'er, the most complete, if not, she would forcibly leave Shangguan Lan'er behind, and she would definitely not get the emperor's heart. Princess Ruobing understood the meaning of filial piety better because she had seen Shangguan Lan'er before, so she said, "Shangguan Lan'er, take a step closer." ”

But seeing Shangguan Lan'er's lotus step lightly, one step forward, this step made Xiaozhuang feel relieved, and Kangxi was like a needle touch, it was Shangguan Lan'er who took the most important step in the Forbidden City. Xiaozhuang laughed and said: "Okay, good, Ruobing, really like Shangguan Aiqing, the appearance of this brother and sister is really a clever snatch from Nuwa's hand and occupy all the light in the world." ”

Ruobing approached, and whispered to Xiaozhuang and Kangxi: "The emperor's mother only sees the surface, but not the inside, this Shangguan Lan'er is not a proud person, and she reads poetry and books on weekdays." He chuckled.

If Miss Bing was afraid that Xiaozhuang would think that Shangguan Lan'er was beautiful, it would be counterproductive, so she quoted a sentence downward, not only talking about Xiaozhuang, but also talking about Kangxi.

Kangxi said: "Let me ask you, are you Shangguan Lan'er, the little sister of Shangguan Aiqing, the Jade Qilin?" Keep your head up. ”

Shangguan Lan'er raised her head and replied: "Back to the emperor, Shangguan Hong is the elder brother. ”

Shangguan Lan'er's heart was pounding, is this the emperor, but when she saw a handsome man, she came into view: the bright yellow robe soars all over the world, majestic and noble, handsome and strong, shining and Xu, heroic and arrogant, long eyebrows and slightly raised pupils like black jade, thin and moist lips with sharp edges and corners, swallowing Lingyun between words, and raising his hand to close the world.

Between these heads, the four eyes are facing each other, and since then, how many love seeds have been planted in the hearts of the two, how many feelings have been born, how many lingering feelings have been hidden, and how many spring and autumn seasons have continued, and the unified stock brain has drilled into the hearts of the two.

Kangxi was overjoyed, and said: "If Aunt Bing said that you are full of poetry and books, and I ask you, do you know that 'the leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost.'" The so-called Iraqi people, on the water side'? ”

Shangguan Lan'er's heart was even more pounding, her face was flushed, this emperor is really bad, Shangguan Lan'er is full of poetry and books, so she naturally read this chapter, but she asked from the emperor's mouth, and she was shy for some reason, after all, in Xie Mansion for many years, she has never been teased with the beauty of love.

Shangguan Lan'er immediately put away her mind and said: "Back to the emperor, from the Book of Songs, National Style, Qin Feng, Pujia, which means that the newborn reeds are green, the color dew condenses into frost, and the heart is tied to each other across the water, which is the meaning of lovesickness and longing. ”

Xiaozhuang secretly praised in his heart, first of all, Shangguan Lan'er was full of poetry and books, and she could match the emperor's intentions; Secondly, although this poem is a love poem, Shangguan Lan'er's answer is still hidden in words and is not vulgar, which shows that Shangguan Lan'er has a very high cultivation. In the end, the emperor asked him with this poem, which showed that the emperor was very fond of her, and her answer was so subtle that it made the emperor more satisfied and Xiaozhuang more assured. Choosing such an internal and external practitioner for the emperor, being the emperor's grandmother was naturally satisfied, and she added a little love to Shangguan Lan'er.

Kangxi said: "Shangguan Lan'er, your response is very agreeable!" After that, he looked at Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang naturally understood the meaning of his grandson the most, and said: "Xi Gonggong, leave the brand, Shangguan Lan'er does not need to be quoted separately, and the Shangguan Mansion will be rewarded on the same day, and he will accompany the king to drive on the same day, and he will be enthroned." ”

Father-in-law Xi has followed Xiaozhuang and Kangxi since he was a child, and he understands that the Empress Dowager has appointed Shangguan Lan'er to step into the clouds. Compared with Shangguan Lan'er, others have become complementary people, singing: "Shangguan Lan'er left a sign and entered the palace by order in the future." The pen-holding eunuch on the side hurriedly wrote it down, and the eunuch in charge led the five people to leave from here.

Out of here, I came to the door of Shunzhen, looking for Chenxi and Nangong Yan, both of whom were happy and held hands close to each other. It turned out that Wanruo had gone to face the saint, and after a while, she also went out of the Shun'an Gate, and she also succeeded in leaving the sign, and the four of them were even more happy, Chu Xi said: "I only care about the two of you being happy, but suddenly I panicked in my heart, in case I am embarrassed by the brand, you don't make fun of me." ”

Shangguan Lan'er said with a smile: "My sister is so beautiful and beautiful, when the emperor saw it, he must have left you early, and he was afraid of something." After that, several people laughed, and several people were very inseparable.

Chu Xi said to Nangong Yan: "Nangong Yan, why don't you see your panic!" Don't you want to be chosen? ”

Nangong Yan immediately looked gloomy, and hurriedly said: "Two sisters, Sister Lan'er, I am very nervous in my heart, now I am the only hope in the family, I don't know how to face my parents if I don't choose, I just like to hide panic in my heart since I was a child, and my heart is beating hard now." ”

Shangguan Lan'er smiled: "It's okay, you are the same as Sister Chu Xi, now, it's just bluffing yourself." Both sisters are so beautiful that they will naturally stay. ”

Sure enough, not long after, Chu Xi and Nangong Yan passed by the face saint, and they both left signs, and the four of them were all happy, and they went out of the Shenwu Gate hand in hand, reluctantly, made an appointment to say goodbye, and left with their respective family cars.

In the end, after re-selection, Shangguan Lan'er, the daughter of Shangguan Qingyun, the third-class loyal and righteous waiting, and Niu Hulu, the sister of Concubine Zhao and the daughter of Kubilong. Chenxi, the daughter of the prince Shaobao Aobai, Guerjia. Wanruo, Nangong Yan, the daughter of the third-class guard Nangong Xixi, and more than ten other people, chose a day to enter the palace and were given titles.
