"Tang poems have silver candles and autumn light cold painting screens, light Luo fans fluttering fireflies, come on, take a few fans to these show girls, let them take a few steps and take a look."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, several slaves and maids walked in front of the show girls with fans, and the show girls picked up the fans and walked a few steps, and the emperor asked them to turn around a few times, and the woman on the far left made the emperor have a feeling of heartbeat.

"Demon girl, look if that show girl has a trace of your charm."

Su Ruanmei followed the place pointed by the emperor, and saw that the show girl showed a trace of truth when she turned, which made people feel in love.

"If Your Majesty likes it, then keep her."

After Su Ruanmei finished, the emperor gave Geng Fugui a look.

Geng Fugui took out a purse from the plate of the eunuch next to him and handed it to the show girl, who immediately knelt down after taking the purse, and the rest of the show girls gave a blessing to the emperor and Su Ruanmei.

The first round of show girls was selected, followed by the second round of show girls, and these five show girls were from Jingzhou.

"How do these show girls feel skinny, have they never eaten enough?"

The emperor said with a little disdain, and Geng Fugui smiled very awkwardly as he stood aside.

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and now the country is peaceful and peaceful, how can there be something that can't be eaten, the reason why these show girls are thin is because I have always regarded thinness as beauty in the Jokhang Kingdom, and maybe this is the unique aesthetic standard in the Jingzhou area......"

Before Geng Fugui finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand.

Geng Fugui also felt that these show girls in Jingzhou were indeed a little out of the flow, so he waved his hand helplessly.

The third round of show girls came up, and the emperor cheered up, because these show girls all came from Tongzhou, thinking that Tongzhou is the richest place in the Jokhang Kingdom, and the women here must be the best choice whether they are from the outside or from the inside, Su Ruanmei took a closer look at the five show girls, and found that the two women of the Tong family were also in Zheng

"Well, these show girls have their own merits, especially the one with big eyes in the middle, but it is somewhat similar to the eyes of the demon girl."

Su Ruanmei likes to pull the show girl on herself when she sees that the emperor is fine, and I don't know if he is saving face for himself or if he really wants to use himself as a benchmark.

"Your Majesty, don't laugh, let's choose a concubine seriously."

After Su Ruanmei finished, the emperor let the show girl in the middle take two steps forward.

"Raise your head and let me and the Imperial Concubine take a good look."

The show girl got the emperor's will and raised her head slightly.

"Well, it's not bad, and I don't know what the talent is, demon girl, you are known as the first talented woman in the Jokhang Kingdom, why don't you test this show girl. If she can answer, then I will give her a grace to be directly promoted to a concubine, if she can't answer, then it is better to honestly receive a purse. ”

Su Ruanmei saw that the emperor said with great interest, and it was not easy to dismiss him, and the other show girls saw that the show girl in the middle had won such an honor from His Majesty, so they all wanted to try.

"This show girl, listen well, this palace will guess a few puzzles with you."

After Su Ruanmei finished, the show girl nodded yes.

"What animal has four legs when it is young, two legs when it is long, and three legs when it is old."

The show girl immediately became embarrassed when she heard Su Ruanmei's question, she kept pulling the silk in her hand, but her mind was blank.

"This question is wonderful, even I can't guess it for a while, who of you knows the answer don't rush to come out, let me guess first."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a girl wearing flowers standing next to the most Tong Min was very surprised, I know the answer, it is a person.

Dai Hua Xiunu gave the right answer, but no one cheered for her, and the atmosphere in Yuxiu Pavilion suddenly became tense.

After being overjoyed, the girl who wore flowers also felt as if she was a little reckless, and couldn't help but kneel down again.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the people's daughter didn't mean to give an answer, the people's daughter ......"

Before Dai Huaxiu finished speaking, the emperor smiled slightly.

"It's a good thing that you can guess the answer, but let's ask what the sin is, get up."

Seeing that the emperor didn't blame her, Dai Huaxiu thought that the emperor had a good impression of her, she could answer the riddle of the imperial concubine Niangniang, even if the emperor didn't reward her, at least he should give her a purse, but in fact, the emperor had already sentenced her to death in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, I don't want to see this woman again in my life.

"Okay, let's enjoy the purse."

The emperor took a sip of the teacup, and Geng Fugui glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch put the purse in front of the big-eyed girl.

"Retreat, next round."

Geng Fugui shouted here, Tong Min and the girl with flowers were all confused, thinking that this is the end, if they can't let His Majesty take a fancy to them this time, then they will be no different from those show girls who went to the palace, that is, they will be assigned to each palace to serve the girls.

At this moment, Tong Min suddenly knelt down, which made the people present stunned for a while.

"This show girl, who are you?"

Geng Fugui stepped forward to ask the reason, while Tong Min kowtowed seriously to the emperor and Su Ruanmei.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, the people think that they are no worse than this show girl, why can't they get your Majesty's favor, I think we are all daughters of good families, if you don't come to this palace for the draft, at least you can marry a big family, now Your Majesty doesn't look down on us, we will become the slaves in this palace, and we will be driven by people for a lifetime, and the people are unwilling."

Tong Min's hands clenched tightly when she said this, she knew that this emperor was a well-known tyrant, if her statement made the emperor unsatisfactory, not only her life would be threatened, but I am afraid that even her mother's family would suffer.

Su Ruanmei never thought that this Tong Min would be a strong woman.

"Your Majesty......"

Su Ruanmei wanted to say good things for this Tong Min, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand.

The emperor put down the teacup and asked Tong Min to raise his head.

After the emperor looked at Tong Min carefully, he felt that she was really not his favorite type.

"Tong Min is right, there is a saying that I knew today, why bother at the beginning, this palace draft is like a gamble, as the so-called willing to gamble and lose, the reason why I didn't choose you is not because you are not excellent, but I really don't have a good impression of you, you folk have a saying called love at first sight, men and women love each other, this is a matter of your love and my willingness, if it is really according to what you said, in order not to make all the show girls feel wronged, then I don't want to accept it all? Therefore, you should go down and be your palace maid with peace of mind, besides, I and the ladies of the harem don't need you to serve for a lifetime, as long as you are over twenty-five years old, the palace will return your freedom, and it is not too late for you to find a good match. ”
