Before Yao Jiaxin entered the hall, she heard Hong Xiaoxu's milky cry outside.

That scream was really laughable.

"Grandma! Grandma! ”

I saw that in the hall, Hong Xiaoxu was lured by the pastries of His Majesty the Fourth Master to drool, and after calling "Grandma" several times, Hong Xiaoxu finally got a osmanthus cake fed by his father, and gnawed it openly.

Yinzhen smiled, stroking his son's chubby little face and fleshy little chin.

With delicious snacks, Hong Xiaoxu called a good one, and lay down and let him touch and eat tofu.

Yao Jiaxin stood speechless, not knowing what to say.

"When did Tian'er come back?" Yao Jiaxin didn't say anything, but Yinzhen smelled the faint aroma of fat powder on Tian'er's body. It is Tian'er's most effective Lan Ze incense, smelling pure and far-reaching, like an empty valley orchid.

Yao Jiaxin curtsied, "The concubine just came back, but the emperor has been here for a while, right?" ”

Yin Zhen said "hmm", did not answer her, but asked: "I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you." "——I sent the list of draft girls to be retained, and the Queen Mother immediately called Tian'er to go, and what she wanted was was so obvious that it was revealed.

Yao Jiaxin didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "The queen mother showed the concubine the show girl circled by the emperor, and there was a daughter of Fahai in it, which reminded the concubine of seeing the White Snake scripture a few days ago." ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, it was also Tian'er's comfortable and open heart, and her mind was full of happy things.

Saying that, Yao Jiaxin said in a low voice: "Will the emperor choose her to enter the palace?" ”

Yin Zhen smiled secretly in her heart, even if Tian'er is open-minded, after all, she is a woman who loves me, and she will still eat it somewhat.

So Yin Zhen couldn't help but tease, "If I choose her as a concubine, will Tian'er be jealous?" ”

it! Nimal #@#!

Although Yao Jiaxin looks like a pure girl on the outside, she can't stop talking about all kinds of dirty words in her heart. She couldn't help but think to herself, shouldn't His Majesty the Fourth Master also learn from the first emperor and want to be a cousin terminator?

Ma Dan, who said it at the beginning, just choose two to charge the number! Nima directly took her cousin to make up the numbers!

Yao Jiaxin was indignant in her heart, although the draft was inevitable, and it was inevitable that the harem would enter the newcomers, she didn't want to monopolize His Majesty the Fourth Master - after all, it was very immoral to let others be widowed!

But Nima don't have a heavyweight show girl!

Yin Zhen looked at the little face that couldn't hide her annoyance, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", "Okay, I'm joking with you!" ”

What's the horse? Joke?!

Yao Jiaxin's eyes widened, can this kind of thing be used as a joke? It's just a matter of teasing Hong Xiaoxu all day long, and she actually teased her! When she was a child!

Yao Jiaxin was unhappy, so she flicked her sleeves directly, turned her head and went to the west study.

actually came with me to make a little temperament, Yin Zhen smiled secretly, and told the nurse to take care of the sixth elder brother, and quickly stepped into the study. I saw that Tian'er was already sitting in front of the bookcase, biting her lip and starting to polish the ink.

"What is Tian'er doing?" Yin Zhen asked curiously.

Yao Jiaxin puffed out her cheeks: "The ten big characters arranged by the emperor every day, the concubines haven't finished writing yet!" ”

Ma Dan, life is sad!

Yin Zhen showed an expression of sudden realization, and he nodded, "Then you can write it." ”

Yao Jiaxin: Hmph, just write.

Angry and inattentive, the words written are naturally not good. Yin Zhen saw it in his eyes and couldn't help frowning.

Suddenly, a big hand landed on Yao Jiaxin's delicate and soft brush, and directly held her hand.

Yao Jiaxin was stunned, and hurriedly looked up at His Majesty the Fourth Master.

Unexpectedly, under the candlelight, His Majesty the Fourth Master's expression was very serious, and his voice was low and mellow: "Concentrate!" ”

"Oooh!" Yao Jiaxin's mind was busy returning to the hairpin.

Yinzhen held her hand and began to move the pen, the brush slowly outlined a dignified and elegant small character on the rice paper, and the low bass voice sounded in her ears again: "Don't always follow the cat and the tiger, but carefully figure out its meaning." Use the center when you write, and light when you lift the pen......"

His Majesty the Fourth Master held her hand and rustled out the small characters one by one, and reminded her in her ear of the essentials of writing. His Majesty the Fourth Master taught her to write seven or eight words, and then slowly let go of her hand, and only mentioned it on the side.

Yao Jiaxin gradually concentrated unconsciously, and found that the words written in this way were really much more beautiful.

The fragrance of ink slowly diffused in the study, and for a while only the rustle of the brush across the rice paper could be heard, like a light rain.

Soon, Yao Jiaxin's homework was finished, and she felt a little easier than before.

Yin Zhen looked through them one by one and nodded with satisfaction, "A little bit of growth." ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled and patted His Majesty the Fourth Master's ass: "Famous teachers make high apprentices!" ”

Yin Zhen smiled, bowed his head and blew a breath of hot air in her ear, "That Tian'er, this apprentice, can also repay my master tonight." ”

If you don't agree with each other, you will drive again, Your Majesty the Fourth Master.

Yao Jiaxin hurriedly glanced at her, "The election will be held tomorrow, and the concubine will go to the Tranquility Hall early." "-It means to let His Majesty the Fourth Master drive more leisurely.

Yin Zhen nodded, "Don't worry, I know it." ”

Yao Jiaxin pouted, this kind of thing His Majesty the Fourth Master has not counted most of the time.

One night of clouds and rain in Wushan, Yao Jiaxin was tired and broke her waist.

It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners have multiplied for several generations, and the population has already doubled several times, and the number of women participating in the draft has also shown explosive growth. Although Yao Jiaxin has not counted the list of women participating in the draft, it is roughly estimated that there are still two or three thousand show girls. Obviously, it is impossible to choose it in a day or two.

The Queen Mother is also an elderly person, and she rarely has to wear court clothes on the day of the draft, which is also very hard. Therefore, the Queen Mother only selects two flags a day, and the eight flags of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han add up to twenty-four, so it takes a total of 12 days to choose.

The ninth day of the third month of the fifth year of Yongzheng is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is also the day of the selection of the Manchurian yellow flag and the yellow flag show girl. First of all, the show girl had to rush to the west palace gate of the Old Summer Palace, be guided by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, and hand it over to the eunuchs in the palace. The eunuch led the two flag show girls to a palace near the palace gate, where a special grandmother was responsible for checking whether the show girl was a virgin, whether there were scars on her body, whether there was a peculiar smell, and if the posture was too ugly, she would be eliminated directly, and she would not even be qualified for the palace selection.

Therefore, it is quite a shame to be eliminated in the first round. But usually those big-footed ladies of the family, even if they really have scars on their bodies, their grandmothers will turn a blind eye.

This round of "primary election" is still quite high so the pass rate is quite high, Mama is actually not strict, unless it is too unsightly, it will basically let you participate in the palace election, and it will not be too embarrassing to lose the election.

Therefore, the show girls who passed were more than seventy percent. After all, they are all show girls in the upper three flags, and the elimination rate of the lower five flags or the Han military flag will be slightly higher, but it will not exceed fifty percent.

And in the next palace election, the elimination rate is the highest.

"Palace selection" is just a title, in fact, the Queen Mother's selection of the show girl may not be in which palace, you can be the queen mother to decide a place at will, sometimes even in the imperial garden to choose a beautiful place.

However, the Queen Mother seems to attach great importance to this draft, and the location of the selection of the draft girl is in the Queen Mother's Tranquility Palace.
