"This selection of show girls, the royal brother is so interested! Even the main and secondary positions assigned to each house were personally seen. Prince Gong Chang Ning was carrying a deerskin wine bag, his face was flushed, a pair of eight-figure eyebrows were raised, and he said with a smile.

"I'm just afraid that these minions don't understand the rules and make those flag masters who haven't entered the palace look at jokes." Kangxi originally looked at the famous post in his hand, raised his eyes as he spoke, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you drink all the imperial wine I rewarded you so quickly?" Looking at the wine bag that Chang Ning was carrying, Kangxi frowned.

Chang Ning lifted the wine bag and shook it, hehe smiled: "And there is more, the main thing is that this imperial wine is too sweet, the younger brother couldn't hold back for a while, hehe, I couldn't hold back......" Chang Ning said and raised the pair of eight-character eyebrows, the black bean small eyes blinked, revealing a pair of laughing vortices on both cheeks, and the red light on the face was a little stronger.

Chang Ning and Kangxi are both growing up in Xiaozhuang, and they are Kangxi's youngest brothers, much closer than the brothers next to them.

Kangxi saw that his face was ruddy, and his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, so he had to smile helplessly and shake his head.

"It's rare for Prince Gong to enter the palace to accompany the Lord Banzai to dine together, since the prince is happy to drink a few more cups, but after a while, the eunuch will be carefully escorted back to the house. Today, Long Live Lord and Prince Gong came to the palace of the concubines at the same time to eat, which is also a blessing that the concubines can't ask for. Concubine Hui Yingying got up, arranged dishes for Kangxi and Changning's dinner plate, and sat down with a smile.

Kangxi still focused on the name book in his hand, and after browsing it, he gently rested it on his hand, his fingers lightly buckled on it, but the corners of his lips unconsciously shed a light smile.

Concubine Hui saw that Kangxi's lips suddenly hooked up a light smile, and she seemed to be very affectionate, but she didn't know why, so she asked: "Why is Long Live Lord happy, why don't you say it so that the concubine and the prince can also have fun?" "

Chang Ning picked up a glass of wine, glanced at Kangxi out of the corner of his eye, and then looked at the name card that his subordinates pressed, the black bean blinked a few times, a shallow smile appeared on his lips, and he poured a sip of wine on his neck and swallowed it.

Kangxi didn't answer Concubine Hui's doubts, he only leaned over and took a cashew nut kernel and put it in his mouth, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Concubine Hui saw Kangxi picking up the cashew nuts to eat, so she picked up a few more and put them in Kangxi's dishes, and when she wanted to speak again, Kangxi had already stood up and said, "Okay, I've almost eaten it, it's time to go back to the Qianqing Palace." As he spoke, he stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, and heard Li Dequan's loud voice shouting at the door: "Drive the Qianqing Palace!" "

Chang Ning also stood up and walked out.

Concubine Hui hurriedly knelt outside the threshold: "The concubine sends off the long live lord, and the prince Gong sends ......" When she got up, Kangxi's sedan chair had turned out of the palace gate.

The palace maid next to her came over to support Concubine Hui's arm, Concubine Hui slowly stood up, her eyes were full of inexplicability, and she muttered to herself: "What did the emperor see just now?" Happy eyebrows and eyes are smiling......"

"I guess I think the dishes in our palace are in line with the taste, right?" The palace maid next to her responded smartly.

"Really? Spread my word and give a reward to the chef who is on duty today! By the way, tell the cook that in the future, when Lord Banzai comes to our palace for dinner, he must be in charge of serving him! "

Concubine Hui had a smile on her lips and immediately ordered.

Enter the palace.

It was also the middle of the night when the sky was full of stars, Su'er Snow Goose and others got up to dress up for the sleeves, and before dawn broke, the sedan chair with the sleeves had been carried out of the gate of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and came in front of the Di'an Gate.

When the sleeves came, there was already a long queue of sedan chairs for the draft girls in front, except for a few small guys who carried the sedan chair, the sleeves were still Su'er and the snow geese and a safe old lady accompanied, waiting outside the Di'an Gate according to the etiquette system, you need to listen to the eunuch announced the edict, before you have to enter the Shenwu Gate in turn, and then pass through the Shunzhen Gate until the body Yuan Hall selected by the face saint.

The previous sedan chair has been lined up to see the gate tower of Di'anmen, and the sedan chair ** stopped outside the door for a few hours, the sky gradually brightened, the sun was shining, and the temperature was rising.

"Gege, come down and breathe a little bit of comfort, it's still early to see this scene." Su'er whispered to the sleeve in the sedan chair.

Huai Sleeve felt stuffy in the sedan chair, but after thinking about it for a while, he only gently lifted up the corner of the curtain and looked out.

Sure enough, I saw many show girls who were suffocated in the sedan chair because they couldn't bear to breathe, and some even worse, they straightened up and basked in the sun, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and they had forgotten the nervousness of the draft when they first came.

Huai Sleeve glanced at those show girls, and whispered to Su'er: "It's okay, I'm not hot." "

In this draft, it is said that the emperor's attitude is still unclear, but it is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who attaches more importance to it.

Perhaps because the throne has not been filled for a long time, the Empress Dowager hopes that this selection will meet people with talents, looks and conduct to fill in the harem position.

The show girls in the same batch with the sleeves are all women in the royal family of the Eight Banners, therefore, the hairpin rings shimmering in the sun, the gold and green compete for brilliance, and the show girls are even more brilliant like a hundred flowers in spring, and the sleeves are stretched out to brush a strand of hair on the sideburns, and the lips reflect a shallow smile.

She was happy to see such a beautiful scene, it was best that the many beauties in front of her made the Kangxi Emperor's eyes dazzled, and when it was her turn, she was already mentally exhausted, and it was good to hastily look at the brand, so how much thought would be saved.

Thinking of this, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle.

At this time, in the Cining Palace, there were clouds of smoke drifting away, purple clouds bursting, and Buddhist language murmuring.

"Ancestor, the draft is about to start, do you want to set up a body Yuan Hall at this moment?" Su Malagu took out an orange and yellow canary down shawl, put it on the shoulders of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and asked softly.

"I originally planned to go over and take a look, but after thinking about it, this is the emperor's own selection of concubines, if I sit next to him, he will definitely ask my opinion, and when the time comes, whether I say it well or not, will hinder the emperor from choosing people he recognizes, so it's not good, I'd better not go." The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang smiled and waved her hand, and took a glass teacup to sip.

Su Malagu smiled lightly and said, "It's still the old ancestor's thoughtfulness, then I'll go first." "

Xiaozhuang nodded, placed a delicate magnifying glass on the page, and read the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. Aunt Su Mala was blessed and slowly retreated.

The triennial selection of show girls is a big day in the palace, so colorful flags are displayed everywhere in the Forbidden City, red lights are hung high, and the sun is shining.

The palace eunuchs everywhere are also busy, and most of the drafts in previous years were in Jingyixuan, and they were also held in the Imperial Garden.

And this year, I don't know if the emperor cares about it very much, or because the girls participating in the draft are all nobles of the Eight Banners, in order to highlight the grandeur, the emperor actually chose the Tiyuan Palace, which shows the importance of it.
