20. The matter of the show girl

"Then do you know what happened to enter the palace this time?" Although Lu Yanyue had already guessed that it was related to the draft last night, it was still not clear what it was.

"Miss, today is the day for show girls to compete for the show." Qiqi said.

Lu Yanyue remembered that Qiqi had mentioned the draft earlier in Lin Xiaoyuan, and the day of the show girl primary selection was the day Lu Yanyue stayed in the Song Mansion. And it's been a few days, "What is this show?" Lu Yanyue still couldn't help but put forward the confusion in her heart.

"Initially, the women presented their portraits to local officials for the first screening. Immediately afterwards, the magistrate handed over the portrait of the selected woman to the household department, and finally the selected woman of the household department arranged for the palace to enter the palace. There is a lady in charge of the palace to check whether these women are virgins. ”

Qiqi took the trouble to explain, and Lu Yanyue had a little worry in her heart: Chen Chenyi arranged Qiqi by his side, shouldn't it be to let Qiqi answer all kinds of questions every day, right? But there is no way! Lu Yanyue really knows too little!

At this time, these women completely became show girls. The Chuxiu Palace, where these show girls live, is the closest to the palace gate and the farthest away from the emperor. On weekdays, you can only see the emperor by the flop or by chance. ”

"Wait, wait, what did you tell me about the day of the showgirl's primary?" Although Lu Yanyue didn't want to interrupt, she still couldn't help the doubts in her heart.

"That day is the day when these show girls enter the palace and are arranged for the grandmother to be checked, and the people want to see what these show girls look like." Qiqi is not annoyed at all, perhaps because he is used to answering all kinds of questions to Lu Yanyue.

"That's already a show girl, why do you still compete for the show?"

"Every year when the rookie girl enters the palace, the emperor will arrange a day to summon hundreds of civil and military officials to bring their families into the palace to watch the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of these show girls. If any show girl is deeply loved by the emperor today, it is very likely that she will fly on the branch and become a phoenix. ”

Lu Yanyue listened to Qiqi's long explanation, and naturally figured out what was going on. The emperor was embarrassed to bend down and come to Chuxiu Palace to see the show girls, so he made such a show, in order to take a good look at the appearance of these show girls.

"When will it start?"

"After lunch."

"Then let's wait for dinner." Lu Yanyue listened to this, and basically understood that as soon as Chen Chen let himself enter the palace, he just wanted to let himself watch some shows.

And Chen Chenyi also knew that it was impossible for him to be by Lu Yanyue's side all the time, so he obtained Song Anxiao's personal jade pendant as a token for Lu Yanyue's unimpeded passage in the palace.

But Lu Yanyue didn't think like this in her heart, what Lu Yanyue thought was that even if she had the prince's jade pendant, it didn't mean that her identity was superior. The people in this palace are not good, if something like yesterday happens again, then Lu Yanyue will lose his life, and it will inevitably involve the prince and the general's mansion who brought him into the palace.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want to wander around? In this early autumn, it is said that the begonias in the back garden are ......" Su Su heard Lu Yanyue's words, and said with a little coquettish in his tone. But before he finished speaking, Lu Yanyue decisively interrupted Su Su's fantasy.

"Let the young master take you into the palace in the future to have a good look. We have no name and no point in the palace this time, and this palace is not as good as the outside, so it is not good if we encounter trouble again. ”

Although Su Su was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree, and obediently accompanied Lu Yanyue's side.

"Prince, didn't you give the jade pendant to Young Master Chenyi, didn't you make it clear to hand it over to that Miss Lu?" Lu Ming frowned, and asked his master a little puzzled.

Compared with the liveliness of Yongshou Palace at this moment, Kunning Palace is much more stable. Although the crown prince does not live in Kunning Palace with the queen on weekdays, Song Ranwan's entry into the palace this time also made Song Anxiao accompany him and come to Kunning Palace for the night.

But early in the morning, Chen Chenyi's personal attendant Haisheng came to look for Song Anxiao, saying that he didn't know what he meant, but he brought a letter from his young master. After Song Anxiao finished reading it, he took off his jade pendant and handed it over to Haisheng to take away.

All this couldn't help but make Lu Ming wonder, and he didn't understand why his master made such a move.

"What happened in the palace last night?" Song Anxiao did not directly answer Lu Ming's question, and asked rhetorically.

"This, Lu Ming doesn't know." Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied.

"Did you know that a show girl died last night?" Song Anxiao said, and his expression became a little smarter.

Lu Ming was also shocked when he heard this, "Prince, this show girl ......"

"That show girl is the show girl who stopped Lu Yanyue as Silai said yesterday." Song Anxiao opened his mouth coldly, and Lu Ming couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.

Yesterday, I thought about coming and going to find Lu Yanyue, although it was arranged by Song Anxiao, but I thought about what I said when I came back. Song Anxiao deliberately explained that no one else could know about this matter, and also arranged for Si to shut the mouth of the show girl.

"Didn't the prince say that Qiqi wouldn't tell the young master about this?" When Lu Ming heard it, he thought that Lu Yanyue or the attendant had told Chen Chen to hear it.

"That show girl, who has a relationship with Concubine Yu, told Concubine Yu about it. When they returned to the palace last night, Chen Yi and the others met Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu ridiculed the matter. Song Anxiao briefly recounted the incident.

Originally, Song Anxiao didn't know, but who knows, Chen Chenyi arranged Phantom Dance to deal with this matter, and Chen Chenyi also wrote a special letter to inform Song Anxiao of this matter.

Only then did Lu Ming understand why his master was willing to lend the jade pendant, in order to prevent anyone from bullying her because of Lu Yanyue's identity. On the other hand, I don't want Chen Chenyi to do such an outrageous thing anymore.

Song Anxiao held the letter brought by Haisheng in his hand and held it tightly in his hand.

"I thought that Chen Yi and Lu Yanyue were just protective of the weak, but I never thought that Chen Yi would actually kill for such a trivial matter." Song Anxiao's frowning brows, as well as the killing intent in his eyes, seemed to hope that Lu Yanyue's body would be broken into ten thousand pieces immediately.

"Prince, if you really can't do it, let ......" Lu Ming looked at his master's anger, and naturally wanted to relieve his troubles.

"With Chenyi's current interest in Lu Yanyue, if we do something to him, I don't know what Chenyi will do to us." Song Anxiao shook his head, and the meaning on his face all reflected his anger towards Lu Yanyue.

"Even if the young master is distracted, he must not dare to do anything out of the ordinary to the prince!" Lu Ming listened to Song Anxiao's words, and naturally said his inner thoughts.

"Don't forget, one of his attendants dared to contradict me for Lu Yanyue's sake. If it weren't for Chenyi's instructions, do you think an attendant would dare to be so arrogant? Song Anxiao recalled in his mind the rash confrontation with himself when Qiqi was in the Song Mansion, and how could Song Anxiao forget that fearless gaze.

When Lu Ming heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he had to wait silently for his master's next orders.
