Chapter 732: Entering the Palace Draft
On the wide official road, the carriages went one after another, all to the palace gate, and there was a check at the palace gate, so the carriage in the direction of the palace gate traveled very slowly, one end had already reached the palace gate, and the other end was still on the street.
Many people watched the bustle on both sides of the street, watching the carriages with the marks of their respective families passing by, pointing and pointing.
The most talked about is the Xingguo Mansion.
On the one hand, it is true that the eldest lady of the Xingguo Mansion has faintly become the first beauty, on the other hand, it is also because the Xingguo Mansion has been eventful recently, and the relationship with Yuhui'an outside the city is too close.
No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong.
However, some things are too secret, and under the suppression of several parties, ordinary people do not know.
But this does not prevent the people from watching the lively enthusiasm, and they have to guess how the eldest lady of the Xingguo Mansion should be, this time it will inevitably fall to the royal family, and I don't know which family's palace it will fall to.
I heard that Miss Shao has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and she is a stunning beauty, how can such a beauty not fall into the royal family.
The carriage was moving slowly, Shao Wan seemed to be leaning on the side of the carriage with his eyes closed and drowsy, he was called up early this morning, and he felt sleepy because he had nothing to do.
The young ladies of the family in the draft are all one person and one carriage, and the Xingguo Mansion sent four carriages, and according to their ranking, they entered the convoy, and she was the last carriage of the Xingguo Mansion.
The speed of the carriage was extremely slow, and the light veils hung from the windows, and the brocade curtains were half-hung down, and the sound came in from outside, and it was quite real, especially with a few loud voices, almost in the ears.
Someone recognized the mark of the Xingguo Mansion, and deliberately squeezed over to see, the reputation of the first beauty is outside, if you can see such a beauty, it can be regarded as a blessing for three lives, so there are more people squeezing around their car to talk, and everyone wants to take a look at this supposedly stunning Miss Shao.
Some people guessed that the car at the front should be the eldest lady's car, so she had the most people on her side.
The carriages passed one by one, leading crowds of people to watch, but after all, they stopped at the intersection outside the palace gate, and that section of the road was not allowed to see the bustle, and there were no shops on either side.
When I got to this section of the road, the voices of the idlers on both sides were completely gone.
Then slowly enter the palace.
From the time I went out in the morning, when I arrived at the palace gate, two hours had passed, and this section of the road was about half an hour at most.
Finally, the carriage entered the palace gate and stopped at the parking lot according to the regulations, and a young lady appeared at the door with a maid ring, and Shao Wanru brought Yujie.
There was a soft sedan chair waiting there, and after the ladies got on the sedan chair, the two eunuchs carried it to the deep palace.
Shao Wanru was not sleepy at this time, half lifted the curtain and looked outside, and after looking at it for a while, she felt that the scenery in front of her was familiar, in the previous life, although she was not a show girl who entered the palace draft, but the show girl came here from time to time, and it should have arrived at the palace where the show girls lived.
Finally the sedan chair stopped, and Yujie stepped forward to help Shao Wanru out.
Coming all the way, either in a carriage or in a sedan chair, the whole person sat softly, Shao Wanru helped Yujie to stand still, squinted his eyes and looked around, sure enough, it was the palace room of the original draft.
This area is actually not a palace, the palace has its own place for the show girls to live, called Chuxiu Palace, which is composed of several different palaces, although it is only a palace name, but the large courtyard inside is set with a small courtyard, and the houses are layered on top of each other, which has always been the place of the draft.
Most of the concubines in the palace entered the palace through this draft, which of course also means that the marriage of the princes is the same.
The main purpose of this draft is the family affairs of several princes, counting the princes at this time to get married, the royal marriage has never been too early, three years ago, when it was selected, it was only said that it was set first, not that it was said that it was going to be married, and now it is selected, it should be almost no more changeable.
"Third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, let's be together!" Shao Yanru walked over and said softly, the Xingguo Mansion is big about her, and it should have been like this.
A few people nodded and followed her, all waiting to arrange for check-in.
Shao Yanru knows a lot of young ladies from the family, although it is inconvenient to make loud noises, but there are a lot of nods and smiles between each other, but although the smiles are very decent, but they are not affectionate, compared to Shao Yanru, the most popular candidate who was selected, how can the competitors really be intimate with her.
Shao Yanru's smile was very decent, and she took a few sisters from the Xingguo Mansion, followed the guidance of the palace people to go inside, took the number plate from a housekeeper, and looked at the numbers on everyone's number plates, and sure enough, they were connected.
And when the eunuchs were waiting on their side, and when they saw that they had received their plates, he led them in.
After a long roundabout, they arrived at the room where they lived, which was quite close to the gate of Chuxiu Palace.
Such accommodations are often available only to the real elites, are easily accessible, and are well known.
There happened to be four rooms in their row, Shao Yanru chose the outermost one, and so on, Shao Wanru chose the innermost one.
Several people were a little tired, and they each entered the house, Shao Wanru took Yujie to push open the slightly closed door, and found that although it was only a room, it was also divided into an outer room and an inner room, separated by a four-fold screen.
"Miss, they all live like this, how many rooms do you have to have!" Yujie looked inside, and said in surprise, not only the room was bigger than she imagined, but even the decorations inside were good, and at first glance it was the kind that was carefully arranged.
"Just like the one in front, the room in the back has a room for two people, and there are also rooms for four people!" Shao Wanru walked in and said with a faint smile.
In the last life, she once painted the show girls, and if she counted, it should be the show girls in the world three years later, so she knows a little about the show girls.
The high-status show girls are placed closer to the main entrance, and the place is also large, one person in a room, the lower status is two in a room, the lowest is four people in a room, the family in the capital, is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
But the next batch of people will be brushed.
Mama Xi also told them before that the draft scale this time was quite large, and even faintly said that it was not only for the princes, but also for some people in the harem.
Of course, what Mama Xi said was very vague, but Shao Wanru had already heard the meaning of this, it seems that this time it was not only the prince's main room and side room, but also the concubines who entered the palace, in the last life, Shao Yanru should have entered the palace at this time, right? But I don't know why Shao Yanru, who was full of confidence at that time, didn't enter the palace she fancied, but entered the palace?
In the last life, Shao Yanru had a better reputation than in this life, and the Xingguo Mansion was more prosperous, but why was she favored in the palace, but she was not awarded a high position, and Zhaoyi's position was not a high-ranking concubine, isn't there something else that she doesn't know about here?
Even so, she is also a bystander for the time being in this life, to see if Shao Yanru entered the palace according to the rules of the previous life, or entered the palace she wanted to enter?
After making up his mind, Shao Wanwan slept for a while after lunch.
The house is very clean, there is no need for Yujie to clean up, and the lunch is also sent by a specific little eunuch, and it is placed at the door after it is used up, and the little eunuch will come to recycle, which is very convenient.
In the afternoon, the housekeeper of Chuxiu Palace asked all the show girls to gather over, Shao Wanru woke up, dressed up in a hurry, and left Yujie in the house.
In the garden, the housekeeper had a stern face, waiting for the late show girls to come over, and the latest ones were severely reprimanded.
Shao Wanru is a group of early arrivals, living near is much more cost-effective than living far, she also saw that those who were scolded lived farther away, although they were sweating profusely, but they were still late.
When everyone had arrived, they were lined up in five and went into the lined houses one by one.
Shao Wanru lowered her head, gasped hard, her face turned slightly red, although she also participated in the draft in the previous life, she was just an outsider, but now it is her turn.
Although others don't know what this is for, Shao Wanru understands that about half of this level has to be brushed down.
Check whether the woman has diseases and scars on her body, and she can't look good, all of them will be brushed off at this level.
There were fewer people in front of her, and Shao Wanru was originally standing relatively far ahead, and it was her turn when there were few people.
Pressing hard to hold the panic in his heart, and taking a hard breath, Shao Wanru followed a palace maid into the house, there was only a very old housekeeper in the room, and a slightly chubby face showed a bit of strictness, and at first glance she was a person who was not good to deal with.
When I entered the door, the door was closed, the window had already been closed and the curtain had fallen, and the lamp and the stove were lit inside, and when I entered the house, I immediately felt very warm, as if the weather outside was two seasons.
The palace maid had already retreated, and Shao Wanru's breathing couldn't help but become short, even if she was reborn, she had never untied her clothes in front of people.
"Come here! Solve it! Mama said coldly.
Shao Wan gritted her teeth, this pass must be passed, she overcame the obstacles in her heart hard, took two steps forward, her fingers touched the hem of her clothes, her fingers trembled, this pass, she knew, was to undress and check, which was also the most embarrassing scene for the show girls in the draft.
"Don't hurry up yet!" Mama said impatiently.
"Wait a minute!"
