Chapter 240: The Emperor Doesn't Look Up

After arriving at the Shenwu Gate, the candidate show girls entered the Shenwu Gate under the guidance of the inner supervisor, passed through the door hole, and waited for the selection outside the Shunzhen Gate, and the household officials led the team to be responsible.

The show girls were in groups of five, led to the eunuchs and experienced old women in the palace, and stood in a row, and the old ladies scrutinized them.

Those who are not good in appearance will not be left, those with scars on their bodies will not be left, and those with peculiar smell and abnormal behavior will not be left.

Naturally, it is said that this is the case, but the daughters of those important officials in the court and ordinary women of official families are naturally treated differently, and these people have been predetermined a long time ago.

However, the more you are from a big family, the more you attach great importance to your appearance, and there will be no problem.

In the end, there were only more than 100 people left, and these were the people who could go to the emperor to see each other in person.

The final selection site was set in a temple at the Shunzhen Gate.

On this day, Su Youyi wanted to attend as a person who accompanied the emperor and the queen to see the selection, and naturally dressed up extraordinarily gorgeously, wearing a royal blue spring dress bright and moving.

Shuya specially powdered her, saying that today is a big day, and if she still doesn't apply powder as usual, it will inevitably make people think that she is not interested.

Su Youyi had no choice but to dress up according to her words, and the effect of dressing up became more and more delicate and bright, so that the servants of Yongshou Palace couldn't take their eyes off it.

Shuya also wanted to add valuable accessories to her, what jade purse and other things, Su Youyi hurriedly avoided it, "Okay, okay, you don't have to wear it anymore, it's too cumbersome." ”

"!"

Shuya hated her, "Niangniang doesn't compete with others on weekdays, but if you don't dress up gorgeously on a day like today, what should you do if the little concubines who have just entered the palace snub your mother?" ”

Su Youyi also made sense to listen to her words, but she looked down at herself and decided to give up, "That's it, spring clothes are light and comfortable, and adding those cumbersome things looks nondescript." ”

Seeing Shuya's pouting, she had no choice but to choose a piece of Hexin jade pendant from the tray, "Then this one, help me put it on." ”

Shuya smiled at this time.

She went to Changchun first. Palace, accompany the queen to the Shunzhen Palace, and soon the emperor also came, waving his hand to signal that it was time to start.

Xiao Yizi was singing beside him, and as his voice sounded, a team of about ten show girls came slowly.

Su Youyi took a cursory look down, after all, these show girls have been carefully selected, none of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, and they look at least dignified and beautiful.

The show girls couldn't help but look at the top, wanting to quietly take a look at the emperor's appearance, I heard that they were born very young and handsome, which made there fewer and fewer show girls who pretended to be sick and avoided the draft in recent years.

This look, the emperor was really born with an extraordinary appearance, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven was fully displayed.

The show girls were satisfied, and when they swept over the queen and the women on the other side of the emperor, they couldn't help but be stunned.

The first person to wear a royal blue palace costume is the emperor's favorite concubine Zhao Concubine?

This look, this bearing, this elegant......

Suddenly, like a basin of cold water poured on their hearts, the obsessive eyes of the show girls suddenly cleared up a little.

With such a person by the emperor's side, they are beyond their reach, and even if they enter the palace, they are very difficult to spoil......

Xiao Yizi read out the identity and age of the show girls one by one, "Jiang Hua, the daughter of Jiang Chengde, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is seventeen years old. ”

Standing on the far left, the showgirl in pink stood up and saluted first, "The courtiers have seen the emperor, the queen, and the concubine." ”

The emperor was expressionless, and lightly picked up the teacup, looking like he didn't want to speak.

The queen was puzzled, and she didn't know what the emperor meant.

Is he dissatisfied with this show girl, or does he not want to interject, and wants her and Su Youyi to decide?

In an eerie silence, the queen finally chose a safe way and gave Xiao Yizi a look.

Xiao Yizi looked at the emperor and Su Youyi, and then sang loudly the identity of the next show girl, at this time, the show girl named Jiang Hua knew that she was hopeless, so she silently bowed and retreated.

Second, the emperor still didn't look up.

The queen had no choice but to do the same, and it wasn't until the fourth that she found that she couldn't continue like this, and if it went on like this, the emperor wouldn't be able to accept anyone in this draft.

So on the fourth occasion, the queen opened her mouth, "The niece of Dali Siqing, sure enough, is a woman from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was born really softly." ”

Su Youyi didn't open her mouth all the time, and only after hearing the queen say this, "Yes, it is indeed soft and gentle." ”

She adheres to the iron rule of saying more and making more mistakes, not saying good, and trying not to open her mouth if she can.

First, don't offend the queen, and second, don't offend the new palace concubine, so it's perfect.

The queen smiled: "That ......"

"Let's put up the sign."

The emperor still didn't look up and refused directly.

Only then did the queen understand that she would still be wrong about the emperor's intentions.

He didn't open his mouth because he wanted the queen and Su Youyi to decide, but there was really no one he could see, so he simply didn't speak.

The queen was a little embarrassed and looked at Xiao Yizi helplessly, and Xiao Yizi then read out the next candidate.

All ten people in this column have read it, and the emperor has not picked any of them, and his attitude is very careless, and he almost never raised his head.

The queen was puzzled and a little anxious.

Su Youyi took advantage of the gap and whispered to the queen: "Don't worry, the queen, this is only the first column, and the emperor will definitely pick a suitable candidate." ”

After the people in the second row came up, the emperor fell in love with the daughter of the Jiangnan weaver, named Sun Yu, and it could be seen from her expression that she was very satisfied.

Su Youyi didn't think that the queen would be particularly satisfied with her husband's concubine, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood why the queen was satisfied with her.

This Sun Yu, like the niece of Dali Siqing, is a native of Jiangnan, and he is half a fellow villager with the queen, so he may have some kinship with the queen's mother's family.

It turned out that the queen also wanted to take advantage of this draft to cultivate her own power.

Su Youyi didn't say anything, she thought that the emperor would accept this Sun Yu on the queen's face, but she didn't expect the emperor to still not raise her head.

"Pick up the sign."

He ruthlessly broke the hearts of the two women.

One is the queen's and the other is Sun Yu's.

When the people in the third row came up, the emperor still didn't mean anything at all.

The queen was secretly anxious in her heart, and Su Youyi didn't know why, she was still a little happy to see the emperor like this.

She always thought that she had no desires and no desires, and she thought that she didn't mind the draft, but she really saw that the emperor was not interested in other women, and it was false to say that she was unhappy.

In the fourth row, when Su Youyi heard Xiao Yizi's voice, singing about that familiar identity, she finally took a few more looks.

"Li Yun'er, the niece of the first assistant Li Ge, is seventeen years old."

Not only Su Youyi, but also the emperor and queen also looked up at the same time.

I saw a young woman with a beautiful appearance and dignified demeanor standing out in the middle of a row of show girls, with a gentle smile on her face, and she was blessed, "The courtiers see the emperor and the queen, and see the concubine Zhao." ”
