In the blink of an eye, the beginning of July has arrived. Knowing that the palace was going to be drafted, the Shang Palace Bureau arranged the imperial garden early in the morning and waited for the arrival of the saint and the palace masters.

He Xi, Mo Yinle and Xie Ying arrived very early, and as soon as they came, they sat down in their respective places and chatted. It didn't take long for Xu Muling and Chen Zhenzhen to arrive together. The five of them were eating snacks while discussing the show girls who would be selected this year.

After another half an hour, Li Mingsheng walked in with Yang Jieyun. Tuoba Creek followed behind the two, his face full of respect. Since Yang Jieyun taught her a lesson last time, she has been studying the palace rules diligently, hoping that one day the emperor will be able to pamper her. Today, the Sakura Kingdom wanted to come here early, but the emperor actually ordered him to come with the royal driver, which made her happy for a morning.

"See the emperor, see the concubine." All the concubines got up one after another and saluted Li Mingsheng and Yang Jieyun.

Li Mingsheng waved his hand and ordered everyone to sit down. He glanced at Yang Jieyun and said to the concubines: "Mrs. Xi's palace rules and etiquette are very fast, I have decided to promote her to a concubine, and change her title!" Since Xi and Xi have the same sound, and Xi has the meaning of the ancients, let's be a Xi concubine! ”

"Concubine Xie Emperor." Hearing that he was sealed by Jin again, Tuoba Xi was excited, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him. As everyone knows, Yang Jieyun looked at all this and was full of sadness.

"Well, you don't have to be polite. Ah Chang, let's meet the draft girls! After Li Mingsheng and Yang Jieyun sat down, they said to Ni Chang on the side.

Ni Chang nodded, and shouted to the show girls who had been waiting for a long time outside: "Announce the first batch of show girls to meet you." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines were afraid that the emperor would be upset when he was elected, so they screened out some women who couldn't get into the elegant hall. When the emperor was drafted, he was furious because of a hateful show girl. The concubine was afraid that some more people would get involved, so she made this decision privately and asked the emperor for forgiveness. Yang Jieyun suddenly got up and pleaded guilty to Li Mingsheng.

Li Mingsheng squeezed her hand: "Okay, Jie'er, how can I blame you?" Sit down! ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Jiejun breathed a sigh of relief.

He regretted and said: "Your Majesty, there are three batches of show girls this time, ten people in each batch, please ask the emperor to choose." ”

After speaking, the first batch of show girls lowered their heads and walked into the pavilion in broken steps.

"Your Majesty, the roster." Yang Jieyun handed over a booklet in due course.

Li Mingsheng looked around at the show girl, and finally locked his eyes on the tall and clear-eyed woman in the middle. He motioned for Ni Chang to walk over and ask for his name.

"Your Majesty, the slave's name is Liang Xincheng, and my father is the imperial history of the court." The woman replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Liang Xincheng? Good name, Liang Yushi gave birth to a good daughter. Ah Chang, give her sachets, and the rest will give flowers and leave! Li Mingsheng waved his hand at the group of show girls.

To give sachets in the draft is to stay, and to give flowers is to lose. Knowing that he was left behind, Liang Xincheng took the sachet with a smile, and bowed to everyone again and stood aside.

"Next batch." Li Mingsheng said.

When the second group of show girls came in, one of the show girls on the far left accidentally fell. Li Mingsheng frowned and motioned to the palace people to help this reckless woman.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave and maid are because they want to enter the palace, and the mother changes the slave and maid into a dress with a longer skirt. The slave maid was not very adaptable, so she stumbled when she walked, which shocked the emperor and all the mothers, and asked the emperor to surrender. The woman knelt down tremblingly.

Yang Jieyun smiled: "It's okay, the emperor is magnanimous, so naturally he won't bother with you." Get up and tell Hongu, what's your name? ”

"Back to this mother's words, the slave maid is called Qin Yiwen." Qin Yiwen looked at the lady who asked her and felt that she was very kind.

Yang Jiejun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is very interesting for the concubine to look at this show girl, it must be different from ordinary court women, or you will keep her?" ”

"That's it, since the concubine likes it, then I will stay! Ah Chang, give sachets. Li Mingsheng said helplessly.

Qin Yiwen heard that he was left behind, and his eyes widened with joy: "Emperor Xie, Concubine Xie Niangniang." ”

It turned out that she was a concubine, Qin Yiwen thought that she must repay her well in the future.

"Let's go aside!" Li Mingsheng said.

Then, the last group of show girls walked in, and after hearing that one of the show girls in front of them had tripped over her skirt and was left behind, some of the show girls began to move.

As soon as she stepped into the pavilion, one of the beautiful women, Li Zi, pretended to be tripped and fell in front of everyone.

"Look, this ancient man once said that Dong Shi is effective. Nowadays, there are also show girls imitating show girls, eager to reach the sky in one step! He said sarcastically.

"What Concubine Chun said is, according to the concubine, the emperor doesn't have to keep this show girl this time." Mo Yinle disdainfully agreed.

Li Mingsheng frowned in disgust: "Which young lady are you to do such an indecent thing?" ”

Li Zi was already frightened, and seeing that the saint was also disgusted today, he quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Father...... My father is the county commander of Anding, the emperor, it is the fault of the slave maid, I beg the emperor not to blame my father! ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Today's cherry blossom country is the day of the draft, a day of great joy, why be angry with this ignorant showgirl. Judging from the concubines, it would be good to drive them out of the palace directly. Xie Ying smiled slightly.

"Well, I don't bother with you today. Come on, drag this show girl out. Li Mingsheng sighed.

Seeing this, Yang Jieyun rubbed Li Mingsheng's eyebrows and soothed him: "Your Majesty, then pick some of the remaining show girls!" ”

"I heard that the second daughter and niece of the Hexi prefect are here, which of you is it?" Li Mingsheng flipped through the roster and asked.

Two gorgeously dressed women moved out of the queue in broken steps, and Li Mingsheng nodded when he saw this: "You are Li Yu, the second daughter of the Hexi prefect, and Li Han, niece?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it is the slaves and maids." The two women replied.

Li Mingsheng motioned to Ni Chang to hand the two of them a sachet each, held Yang Jieyun's hand and said, "You two stay!" The rest of the show girls all gave flowers and left, so that's the end of today's draft! Ah Chang, the proposed purpose, will be selected today the four show girls are named as the selection of waiters, temporarily live in the four side halls of the Chu Xiu Palace, and then arrange the palace and position to be favored in the coming day. ”

"Yes." Ni Changdao.
