Chapter 19: Perilous Situation (2)

Probably because the look on my face was too scary, Yuan Yuan timidly pulled my sleeve, and she tentatively wanted to speak.

I had already noticed these actions of hers, but I was not in the mood to explain to her at all now, and I was only thinking about how to attract Xiao Ziling's attention in the palace election.

We stood in the courtyard and waited for a while before Mr. Wang came over with someone. He read out the complicated rules to everyone before leading us to the Dragon Palace.

I deliberately paid attention to the eyes of Manager Wang just now, and his eyes suddenly froze when he swept over me and Yuan Yuan, and then turned helpless and anxious. Sure enough, when our group of show girls lined up on the clean stone road, Manager Wang deliberately slowed down and landed at the end of the line, and he walked side by side with me, but his mouth began to nag.

"Miss Chu, aren't you embarrassing the old slave? If the queen mother sees it, she will definitely blame the slave. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I have my own measure." I lowered my voice expressionlessly, and said very confidently, but in fact, I didn't know the bottom of it, and I could only act on the opportunity for a while.

When we finally stepped through the high gate of the Royal Dragon Palace, the maids and guards in the courtyard were neatly arranged on both sides, like a grand ceremony, looking solemn and mighty.

It was too far away for me to make out the man's expression in the temple, but the familiar outline came to mind. We lined up on the stone steps in front of the hall, and saluted according to the etiquette taught to us by the king, and then the selection officially began.

In fact, the so-called palace selection is undoubtedly chatting with the emperor, so the few show girls in front of me are extremely charming, not only seem to be knowledgeable and courteous, but also constantly throw flattering eyes to the emperor, especially Qin Shuying's delicate voice, I never knew that a tigress could become so gentle.

When the several show girls standing in front of me had already answered Xiao Ziling's questions one by one, and when the chief eunuch of the Imperial Dragon Hall shouted three times, "The Chu clan has come forward to meet me", I slowly stepped out of the queue and slowly squatted down towards the people on the main seat in the hall.

"The people's daughter sees the emperor." As soon as these words came out, I could already hear the sound of someone pumping cold air. I hooked the corners of my mouth and kept it that way, and no one around me dared to make a sound. It was a long time before I heard a voice with a slight trembling voice say to me, "Lift your head up!" ”

I still kept my head down, ignoring him.

"I told you to lift your head!" This voice was more powerful than the one just now, and the sense of oppression of the imperial power was much worse than before.

I slowly looked up, and though it was still far away, I could imagine the disappointment on his face.

"Get up." Sighing with disappointment, I curved the corners of my mouth slightly and stood up: "Doesn't the emperor want to know the name of the people's daughter?" ”

This sentence was exchanged for another inhaling sound. I think my move should be extremely bold, at least so far, I have never seen a show girl question the emperor directly like this.

Even though my eyes were looking straight ahead, I could still feel my eyes coming from all directions. I calmly smiled at Xiao Ziling, who was sitting in a high seat, and without waiting for him to answer, I continued: "The maid's surname is Chu, and the word is Xinyuan. ”
