The dream was brought into a room, and there were a dozen or so girls about her size in the room. There are those who are full of joy and laughter, and there are those who frown slightly as if they have something on their minds. The dream glanced at it roughly, and saw that a girl was especially beautiful, standing silently in the corner, looking at the dream and looking at herself, she smiled back, very gentle.

"I don't know how old this young lady is, I don't know if it's my sister or my sister." A woman next to her, who looked bewitching and noble, came over to talk to the dream.

"Fourteen."

"I'm sixteen, my sister is so beautiful, I will definitely be selected. My surname is Wang, my name is Wang Qiao, I don't know what my sister's name is? ”

"Zheng Mengjing."

"Dreamland...... That's an interesting name, do you know what we're going to do next? ”

"I don't know ......"

"Wait a while, there will be grandma coming, see if we have birthmarks, scars, or something, such people can't serve the emperor, and when they see this, they will have to be dragged out by the grandmothers......"

The Qingli girl in the corner just now was nervous when she heard this, her right hand held her left arm, and she bit her lip tightly, and happened to be glimpsed by the dream.

After a while, Mama came into the house, told the girls to take off their clothes, and checked them one by one. Dream stood behind and saw the birthmark on the girl's arm, a small piece of red.

Mama checked in rows, and when she saw a scar birthmark, she ordered her to get dressed and leave, and it was about to be the back row.

"This sister's skin is as white as snow, and the plum blossom birthmark on her arm is even more peculiar, which reminds people of a song "Snow Plum". The dream deliberately amplified some sounds, "'The plum and the snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance', if this snow and the plum are separated, it will not look good." My sister has this plum blossom birthmark, which shows that my sister's skin is like clotted fat. ”

Everyone looked over curiously when they heard this, and Mama also came over when she saw this, and glanced at the girl: "She looks beautiful, her skin is white, and this birthmark is indeed like a plum blossom. ”

After the inspections were completed one after another, the grandmothers went out again.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the dream gratefully: "Thank you, sister." ”

"Sister Qingli, even if Sister Dream doesn't say it, Sister won't be withdrawn." The dream returned.

"The plum and the snow are white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum, but my sister knows a lot of poetry and books, and she fulfilled me with this Lu Meipo's poem."

The dream shook his head, indicating that he only understood a little.

"My name is Li Jinghan, the same age as you, you can call me Jinghan in the future."

Wang Qiao silently watched the two talk happily, and felt a trace of envy. Because she hadn't read since she was a child, she couldn't interject a word, so she could only stay bored on the side.

At this time, the grandmothers walked in and spoke: "The girls have been waiting for a long time, the eunuchs have found out the girls' family affairs, and they are indeed innocent, congratulations to the girls, they immediately entered the Forbidden City, freshened up, learned the rules of the palace, and were good concubines of the emperor." ”

Most people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Wang Qiaoke was so happy that he almost jumped up. The dream widened his eyes, especially the sentence that the grandmother said, "The eunuchs have found out the family", which made the dream feel even more strange. There is her father's corpse lying at home, if she didn't know that this is related to the Forbidden City, she wouldn't have left her father's corpse to come to this draft. I thought that once I was chosen, I would send someone to bury my father, but I didn't know that I would let the eunuch visit, and what was even stranger was that the eunuch didn't find out? It must not be possible, but someone must have done something in the midst of it.

The dream really wanted to go home to see, she walked to her mother: "Mama, the people want to go home to see their father, and they will rarely see them when they enter the palace in the future, and the people hope to repay the kindness of their father's upbringing......"

"No way!" Who knew that Mama interrupted her rudely, "You are already the emperor's person, you should go to the Forbidden City immediately!" With that, he walked out, glancing at the dream before leaving.

The grandmother who went out sighed and said, "It's also a poor child." ”

It was already dark, and more than a dozen chariots were already waiting outside, and the dream was helpless to get on the chariots. Under the cover of night, she could finally shed some tears and cry, and she could not cry soundly.

What happened all day, Zheng Mengjing couldn't figure it out. She couldn't figure out how the people of the court wanted to kill her father, a small private school teacher, and she couldn't figure out how she entered the palace so smoothly. Maybe the eunuch who went to her door happened to be lazy. She wanted to bury her father, and she couldn't think about it. She thought that as long as she entered the palace and had a descendant, she would immediately order her to come and bury her.

The Forbidden City is getting closer and closer, and the tall walls bring a strong sense of oppression. The girls did not dare to laugh under this sense of oppression, and waited quietly to pass through the walls that so many people wanted to enter. Eyes full of anticipation or curiosity, the moment they enter the city gate, they are swallowed up by the darkness of the future, and they will not see clearly.

"Are all the new show girls settled?"

"Back to the emperor, there was a delay on the way, and now I guess it's only here." Eunuch Feng Bao lowered his eyebrows.

"Oh, then I'll go back to the Queen's Palace." The emperor sat on the couch, looked at the fold in his hand, and said without raising his head.

The emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten, and Feng Bao accompanied him. When Feng Bao was the emperor or the crown prince, the eunuch recommended by his teacher Zhang Juzheng took care of the emperor's daily life from then on.

"The emperor and the queen are really in love." After Feng Bao finished speaking, he shouted again, "Drive Jingren Palace", and the eunuchs outside hurriedly prepared to go. The emperor got up and walked slowly.

At this time, the queen was looking at the newly selected show girls, and these girls were now placed in the Chuxiu Palace, waiting for the queen to allocate a place to live. Originally, after the emperor Ming'er saw it, what he liked would be fulfilled, and he picked it out to live closer to the emperor, if the emperor didn't like it very much, he arranged it to live at will, which was to vote for the emperor's favor. There are also those who have not yet reached the age of sixteen, and they should not be allowed to sleep. Raise it in the palace first, learn the rules and talents. This harem is as deep as the sea, there is no identity and no favored little master, there will be no good life, the queen is in charge of the future of this group of girls, so she naturally has to be cautious.

"Chunlan, you followed that Mama Li in the Queen Mother's Palace to the draft, what did you notice?" Queen Wang sat under the candlelight, holding a list of show girls in her hands. Chunlan was removing the heavy phoenix crown on her head for her, and said softly: "There is nothing particularly strange, but there is a little master, named Zheng Mengjing, and a few words actually made Mama choose a place with a birthmark on her body." ”

"Oh? Mama was moved by a few words? ”

"Yes, but the little master with a birthmark was born white and good-looking, and it is possible for Mama to see it."

"Then this Zheng Mengjing, but he also entered the show girl?"

"Enter, this Zheng Dream is too beautiful, and it looks very clever." Chunlan pouted dissatisfiedly and muttered.

"You don't seem to like her very much?"

"Look at her foxy appearance, the slave doesn't like it. She also begged Mama to go back to say goodbye to her father, and was scolded by Mama to go back. ”

The queen saw the name on the list, Zheng Mengjing, fourteen years old. Her gaze lingered for a moment on this "fourteenth year".

"Alright, don't say that in the future. The emperor should be on his way here at this time, and exchange the ice for the emperor a few days ago for the palace. ”

Queen Wang walked into the inner room lightly, her lips and teeth opened slightly, and she slowly read out a sentence "Wine has both green, flowers have no 100 days of red", and the smile on her lips is like the red sandalwood on the side of the dressing table, which spreads out.

"Yes." Chunlan smiled understandingly, and then withdrew.

But after a while, the emperor's palanquin arrived at Jingren Palace. The queen was dressed in ice, her hair was combed in a simple and elegant bun, and she deliberately came out to welcome the emperor, and her body seemed to be glowing with silver light under the moonlight, fluttering like a fairy.

"It's just right for you." The emperor stepped forward, took the queen's hand and said gently, "The wind is cold at night, and the queen doesn't have to come to greet me." ”

"The concubine misses the emperor." The queen slowly entered the dormitory with the emperor. The light of the candle flame gradually faded, and although it was spring, there were occasional cricket calls in the middle of the night.

"Your Majesty, the beautiful girls of Ming'er came to visit the concubines, the emperor had breakfast, can you stay in Jingren Palace for a while and meet them too? It's also good to see if there is a favorite. The queen leaned sideways and looked at the emperor who had closed her eyes.

"I have important matters tomorrow, and the queen will deal with these harem trivial matters for me." The Emperor rolled over and soon fell asleep.

"Yes."
