Chapter 61: Encounter in the Palace
The scene inside and outside the palace is two scenes, lively and prosperous and solemn and deserted.
Song Wu'er's carriage slowed down, and after the several cars chasing behind him entered the vermilion gate, Fang slowly squeezed in.
There are rules in the palace, where the palace wall official road, passing through the checkpoint guarded by the Praetorian Guard, no matter who comes, how monstrous the official position and power, will be ordered to get off, through the guards or female officials to find out the body and carry private belongings, before entering on foot.
Although it is a show girl primary election recently, it is inevitable to squeeze into the living people from all sides, and it is chaotic, but the rules are the rules, and they cannot be abandoned at will. Therefore, Song Wu'er's carriage only ran a few hundred meters inside the palace walls before it was stopped by the palace guards wearing long knives.
"Since she is a new show girl, she will be taken to Chunxiu Palace by the housekeepers and grandmothers for inspection, don't stay here."
The cold-hearted and cold-faced chief of the guard waved his hand at the whole column of grandmothers behind him, and immediately a young grandmother who was just in her early thirties took small steps to Song Wu'er and said respectfully:
"Please follow the slave and maid closely, and don't look around and make a loud noise in the palace."
The mama in front of her looked at her at first glance, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned like a kind person.
Fortunately, a few months ago, Song Wu'er was severely persecuted by Song Shoufu, and under the training of Mama Lu and Mama Feng for many days, she gained a lot, and although her understanding of the etiquette rules in the palace was not complete, she was indeed more than enough compared to ordinary young ladies, and she did not feel nervous and shy.
The interior of the palace has always been cumbersome and huge, the main palace alone, in addition to the emperor, the prince, and the queen each have a place, which is specially used to collect books, review and fold, and the procurement matters in the palace occupy the entire main heart, and the inner courtyard of the side hall and the side palace courtyard are evenly distributed around the main palace, which is dazzling.
Specially selected by the lady concubine, Chunxiu Palace, as the venue for this draft, is one of the main palaces.
Estimating the time of walking on a few pillars of incense, Song Wu'er used a rare endurance for decades, and followed the mama who led the way in front of her, and finally stopped staring at the single brick on the ground, and stepped straight into the threshold and walked into the "Chunxiu Palace" written in gold characters.
"Wow, there are so many people, red dresses and purple clothes, veil paper umbrellas, these show girls are all thin waists, they are really pleasing to the eye!" When Song Wu'er arrived, it happened to be the first time the palace gate opened, and she guessed that she should be the first few show girls who came first, but when she looked up, she was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of her.
Hundreds of well-dressed young girls with exquisite makeup had already stood in several columns under the guidance of the palace maids, but because the mothers of the official draft girls had not yet come, the girls who were inevitably excited to see new affairs crowded together in groups of three or five, whispering some considerate words, and posing some exaggerated and funny movements from time to time.
"The girl came to the palace to participate in the draft for the first time, and it is understandable to be a little careless, but the slave maid still kindly reminded the girl that she must not lose her demeanor like these show girls. Misfortune comes from the mouth, and I hope that the girl will not make some exclamations in the future, so that Her Majesty will be dissatisfied. ”
After handing over the jade plate that Song Wu'er was carrying with him to the eunuch guarding the palace, he guided his grandmother to get close to Song Wu'er's side and whispered a few words to her, Fang Wei helped his body and quietly withdrew.
