The night is as deep as ink, all the sounds are silent, the drizzle of the day has long stopped, the water at the corner of the eaves slowly drip on the bluestone slab, and there is a regular sound of "pop-pop".

An Ge, who was only wearing a middle coat, vaguely heard the sound of the door opening, woke up from a light sleep, and looked up by the moonlight, the women around him seemed to be asleep, the door was closed, and no one seemed to have gone out.

Since being sent to the capital by his father for the draft three months ago, after repeated rigorous selection and elimination, more than 1,000 show girls have been sent back to more than 800, and in the end only more than 100 of them remained, temporarily living in the Jingyi Pavilion in the Xishan Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, and will enter the palace tomorrow to see the emperor.

In fact, An Ge hates a group of women serving a man, what she looks forward to most is a couple for a lifetime, if it weren't for the book left in the palace by her deceased mother, she would never have dealt with the royal family.

An Ge yawned, seeing that there was nothing abnormal, and then continued to sleep on the moonlight, when suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the sky-

The show girls were all awakened, and the lights outside the hall were lit, and in an instant, the entire Jingyi Pavilion was like day. A few show girls had the audacity to open the door to see, and the aunt of the guard scolded angrily: "What to see, go back to sleep!" ”

The show girls had no choice but to suppress their curiosity, muttered back to bed, and spent the second half of the night in anxiety.

Early the next morning, An Ge woke up to the sound of two people talking next to him.

"Did you hear, someone fell into the water yesterday, and the one who died was the daughter of a university scholar......

"I don't believe it's a misstep, do you remember that a few days ago she had a fight with the Taifu family, and the Taifu's daughter said that she must be good-looking, I doubt ......"

"Shut up! Both of us are from small places, and the daughter of the big official family in the capital can't afford to mess with it, even if we enter the palace in the future, we'd better be people with our tails between our legs, and our mother's family is not around, but we must not cause trouble. ”

"Woooooooooo......oo I want to go home, the capital is terrible......"

An Ge sighed faintly, she, like these two show girls, was from home and thousands of miles away, and she was helpless here. At first, I was ignorant, but after going through all kinds of things along the way, I understood everything.

For example, the daughter of the Taifu family in their mouths looks really average, and her voice is like Hong Zhong, but she still passed five levels and killed six generals all the way to today.

Why? One of the reasons is her identity, and the second reason is that she handed money to all the aunts and eunuchs when she first arrived. And even if she understands these people's sophistication, there is no money at home for her to spend.

An Ge's mind to enter the palace was shaken again, and his father was not by his side, but don't lose his life in the intriguing harem at that time.

But my mother's posthumous work...... Thinking of this, An Ge still sat up from the bed and began to freshen up and dress up with the other show girls.

After freshening up, the show girls took the carriage into the palace, all the way to the outside of the Yangxin Palace, the show girls got down from the carriage, stood in front of the palace, waiting to be called in one by one to see the emperor and queen.

Taifu's daughter really received preferential treatment and was arranged to be the first to go in. The door of the palace was wide open, and the emperor spoke with a full breath, and the conversation between him and the daughter of the Taifu could be heard even outside the hall.

After looking at Taifu's daughter for a while, he said angrily: "How many times have I said that I like women with red lips and bright teeth, willow eyebrows and starry eyes, slender posture, gentle and tactful, how did the aunts and eunuchs in the previous primary election choose this kind of woman with a face like a big cake and eyes like a mouse!" Spread my will, and all the minions in charge of the primary election will be fined half a year! ”

After he said this to the queen, he said to the daughter of the Taifu who was kneeling in the audience and was about to cry: "Don't be sad, I don't say you're ugly, you're just not the type I like." You go home and tell the master that I thank him for sending his daughter to the palace. ”

After listening to the emperor's words clearly, An Ge couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart...... Isn't this disgusting for being ugly? I almost said the word "ugly", okay! Is it necessary to be so hypocritical to be an emperor?

The second show girl to enter the hall is the daughter of the Zhongshu Shilang family, her appearance is considered to be superior, An Ge thought that this should stay, but she didn't expect the emperor to ask her some strange questions......

"Seeing that you have a good appearance and outstanding temperament, you should be able to burn the Buddha and jump over the wall, right?"

The squire's daughter was frightened and stammered, "Courtier...... No...... Not very ......."

"Well, if you don't know how to write, and martial arts are not bad, will you climb trees and dig out bird eggs?"

The waiter's daughter turned pale and shook her head again and again.

The emperor sighed faintly and said, "I see that you are not ready, go back and prepare for a few more years." ”

The show girls outside were sweating in their palms...... Is the emperor looking for a concubine, or is he looking for a companion to accompany him to dig a bird's nest?

The third show girl thought that the emperor should be a lively and active woman, so she went in and began to talk endlessly about how she admired the emperor, how she was powerful, riding horses and archery, and being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the emperor smiled and listened without saying a word, and then said to her: "You are a good person, but you talk too much, my ears are tired, you go home." ”

The show girl fell on the hall and couldn't stand up for a long time.

An Ge frowned, looking at the show girl who was carried out, he was depressed for a while, people came from all over the country to give you a concubine, and you still picked and choose? Can you bully people like this when you are an emperor?

When she was in Yangzhou, she was the pearl of her father's palm, proud and jealous, but now even if she understands something, her nature has not changed, and she still hates this kind of bullying bullies.

In case she is elected to the palace, she will have to deal with the never-ending intrigue of the concubines on the one hand, and the emperor's pickiness on the other...... How could she have time to look up her mother's posthumous work? I'm afraid I'm going to be in a few days!

No, you must find a chance to lose the election, and you must not enter the palace!

In addition to the road of entering the palace by draft, she can also apply for the imperial dining room, and entrust her relationship to become a palace maid, anyway, it is good to be anything, so she doesn't want to serve the emperor of this kind of thing!

I have been shaking the idea of the draft all the way, and now I have finally made up my mind -

"The daughter of Yin An Youping of Yangzhou Mansion, An Ge will meet you——"

Unconsciously, the eunuch sang her name, An Ge quickly retracted his attention, walked out of the line, slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and buried his head deeply: "An Ge greets the emperor, greets the queen." ”

Emperor Yin Mu looked at the top of the head of the show girl below and said, "You raise your head." ”

An Ge slowly raised his head and looked directly at Yin Mu, Yin Mu nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Looks are my favorite type, your father An Youping is well-versed in the past and the present, presumably you are also talented." ”

An Ge nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the courtier's daughter has read books with her father for a few days and knows some words." ”

"Oh?" The emperor was interested and asked, "Then you can make a poem for me to listen to today's draft." ”

An Ge frowned, made a look of hard contemplation, and then said: "A thousand beauties entered the capital, but unfortunately they left almost eight hundred, and there were one or two hundred girls left, you said that it was pitiful." ”

After she finished speaking, the queen, who had been sitting on the side dignifiedly, couldn't help it, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, the emperor twisted his brows, and asked, "What master did your father invite to teach you?" ”

An Ge lowered his head slightly, and replied without humility or arrogance: "The father of the courtiers often teaches the courtiers, as the parents of the people, they must be responsible for the people, and they must share the worries of His Majesty......

After An Ge finished speaking, he thought beautifully in his heart, he is such a rustic woman, the emperor should not take a fancy to her, right? She waited for the emperor to order her out of the palace.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor meditated, he actually said: "Well, what an interesting person, you can stay." ”

Well? Wait a minute...... Stay...... Remain?
