Chapter 1 Entering the Palace Draft
In the thirtieth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Lin collapsed, and the third son of the emperor Zhao Qi was passed on.
In the first year of Lin'an, the new emperor ascended the throne, proposed to be called Lin'an, amnesty the world, respected the original queen as the queen mother, sealed the third princess Xue as the queen, the side concubine Xie as the concubine, the side concubine Ning as the Ning concubine, the concubine Sun as Zhaoyi, and the concubine Liu as the talent.
In the summer and July of the third year of Lin'an, the Chu Palace ushered in the first batch of drafts for the reign of the new emperor. Although the scorching sun is in the sky and the cicadas are chirping, all parts of the Chu Palace are still orderly.
But I saw a row of slender waists and beautiful show girls slowly entering the court. Surrounded by red walls and yellow tiles, the gold-roofed Hongmen, which makes people feel solemn and solemn, for hundreds of years, I don't know how many show girls have entered this deep palace today, and they are lost in the torrent of years.
Xie Yuzhu hung his head and followed the team, although he was curious about the beautiful scenery of this heavenly family, he didn't dare to look up, his curiosity was long gone, and what was left was confusion about the future. Once you step into the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.
After a while, the leading grandmother took people to the main garden of Chuxiu Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs slowly retreated.
"You see, the woman in purple clothes is Hua Xiao, the daughter of the general of the left horse, and the one next to her is Tong Jin, the niece of the current Queen Mother, and He Manniang, the granddaughter of the British princess in the distance.
Xie Yuzhu stared.
I saw a woman in a purple palace skirt not far away shaking her fan, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a beautiful woman next to her was dignified and generous, and Hua Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, whispered softly, presumably this is the queen mother's niece Tong Jin, come again...... It is the rich and charming red palace skirt beauty in the distance, He Manniang. The three of them really have their own characteristics, but they are all top beauty embryos, if they are really like their names, their states are like their names, and the emperor is really a blessing.
As for her...... Xie Yuzhu lowered her head, stroked the green palace skirt, and squinted. She is just a little fresh, this draft is in the summer heat, I have seen too many gorgeous beauties, compared to the fresh green can also make people's eyes shine, which happens to match the word "jade" in the name. However, this is just a short-term careful thought, but all the little ladies who come to this draft, don't they all use some thought? And what really made Xie Yuzhu frown was the open guns and arrows he encountered after entering the palace, and the one who has now taken root in the palace, Concubine Xie De.
In the novel "Emperor Xie Guifei", Xie Yurong, who is now Concubine Xie De, is the protagonist, who has been smart since childhood, from entering the mansion to the palace, meeting gods and killing Buddhas, and finally having a double harvest in love positions, and being happy with the emperor until he is old. Xie Yuzhu is just a small supporting role in this book, playing the role of a side branch of the Xie family who was left by Concubine Xie De. The reason why she is so clear is that the plot of Guy is a controversial point in the novel at that time, and there has never been such a heroine who is so ruthless, so she remembers it so clearly. At that time, I was addicted to reading novels, but now that she is Xie Yuzhu, she can't laugh.
Now it is inevitable to enter the palace, and you can only be cautious step by step.
"Yuzhu, what are you thinking?"
Xie Yuzhu looked back and saw that it was a delicate woman with a bookish atmosphere, Wen Shiyi. In the past, when she was in the Xie family, she and her mother met Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen San, Wen Shiyi. But after all, the two don't have a deep relationship, there are not many fragments of this person described in the book, and Xie Yuzhu didn't know this person's temperament, so he could only take one step at a time.
Xie Yuzhu took a step forward, smiled and said briskly, "Before, I saw that no one knew about this palace election, and I thought in my heart, but now that I see Sister Wen, I don't feel any uneasy in my heart." ”
Wen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, "No, how can I not be like this, if we can all be selected this time, I will ask my sister to accompany me in the future." ”
Xie Yuzhu suddenly smiled and said, "Then sister, don't bother your sister to beg for a cup of tea every day." ”
Wen Shiyi paused, nodded with a smile, and his eyes flashed. I don't know if this Xie Yuzhu looks like the surface, he is a character who is easy to handle, ordinary people don't dare to say this before the palace election to say that they can be selected, but Xie Yuzhu is so different.
Here Xie Yuzhu smiled in her heart, she was wearing a layer of beauty skin and playing a role that was easy to handle, so that.
As he was talking, he heard a timid voice over there, "Sister Wen." ”
The two turned around and saw a delicate and timid little lady not far away, seeing the two of them looking at her, they took a step back in fright, Wen Shiyi came back to his senses, beckoned this person to come forward, and said, "Yuzhu, this is my cousin Dong." He pointed to Xie Yuzhu to the little lady again, "Cousin, this is Miss Xie." ”
The two held hands and saluted, and during the chatting between the three, Xie Yuzhu learned that this cousin Dong was the daughter of the Shangshu of the Zhengwupin Rite Department, and her name was Dong Qingqing.
Dong Qingqing, Xie Yuzhu pronounced this name several times, she remembered that this name appeared a lot in the novel, but she forgot how this person was. Just pondering, I don't know when the surrounding warblers and swallows were quietly silenced, the three of them looked up, and saw that it was a leading eunuch in a red embroidered dress who walked over, without squinting, and knew at a glance that this eunuch must be not low.
It must be Chen Fu, the big eunuch next to the emperor, Xie Yuzhu thought quietly.
"The emperor has a decree, and a group of five people will enter the palace and be selected."
All the beautiful women are blessed, "I will obey the emperor's will." “
After Chen Fu finished speaking, he picked up the booklet presented behind him, gave way slightly, and read, "Xuanhuaxiao, Tong Jin, He Manniang, Wei Wanru, Xu Yue entered the hall." ”
After that, the five show girls followed the big eunuch into the hall slowly, and the rest of the show girls all looked at the door, Xie Yuzhu looked sideways at Wen Shiyi and Dong Qingqing beside her, and saw that the two of them were more or less nervous, and Dong Qingqing grabbed her clothes. Xie Yuzhu sighed silently, she was also a little nervous. This feeling is similar to an exam, Xie Yuzhu complained silently.
After about a cup of tea, Chen Fu came to read out the other five show girls.
The atmosphere in the garden is a little stagnant, occasionally there are show girls whispering questions, and some show girls have already begun to tidy up their clothes.
At this time, it was already sunny, and Xie Yuzhu was only glad that she didn't wear heavy makeup, otherwise she would have to sweat and wear makeup now. Because now there are show girls who have quietly complained and took out a handkerchief to wipe their sweat, but I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the palace after spending a trace of makeup.
After about an hour, after the great eunuch Chen Fuxuan took away batch after batch of show girls, including Dong Qingqing and Wen Shiyi, this time he came to the garden, and his voice was not loud or small, "Rao Nian, Liang Changhuan, Xie Yuzhu, Lu Shuangran, Yu Wei." “
Here it comes. Xie Yuzhu took a deep breath, followed Chen Fu with the other four people, and finally came to the door of the main hall.
The five of them stood and hung their heads still, only to hear a slight voice in the hall: "Xuan Rao Nian, Liang Changhuan, Xie Yuzhu, Lu Shuangran, Yu Wei to see you!" ”
The five of them stepped forward without squinting, bowing their heads and saying goodbye.
An old eunuch in front of the left sang, "Rao Nian see the driver!" ”
Xie Yuzhu glanced at a girl on the left and immediately knelt down and saluted, trembling slightly, "The courtiers knock on the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Empress, the former Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress Wanfu Jin'an." ”
The three people in the hall were speechless, Rao Nian's face gradually turned pale, his hair was broken, and his body shook a little. She closed her eyes and held on until there was a single voice above, "Up." Rao Nian staggered to his feet, the red cloud on his face receded, and after a long time, he heard the emperor above again, "Leave it alone." Rao Nian's face turned pale again, and he thanked Long En with a sigh of relief. The other four were a little nervous when they saw this scene.
Next is Liang Changhuan, who also lost his honor in front of the palace because he was too nervous, and was dragged down by the eunuch.
Then, it was her turn Xie Yuzhu.
"Xie Yuzhu will see you!"
Xie Yuzhu took a step forward and kowtowed, "Xie Yuzhu, the daughter of Xie Hui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, knock to see the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress." The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Wanfu Jinan. Xie Yuzhu lay in the hall, silent for a while.
"Get up." The Queen Mother said, "Xie Yuzhu? It's refreshing to look at. ”
"Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor, Empress." Xie Yuzhu lowered her head and got up.
"Look up." The queen spoke softly.
Xie Yuzhu raised her head slightly, dressed in a water-green palace dress, three thousand green silk was pulled up with a jasper hairpin, and a few strands of soft hair were attached to her forehead, because of the scorching sun outside the hall, her cheeks were slightly red, and a pair of bright eyes appeared. The whole person looks refreshing and comfortable, which makes people's hearts a little restless.
The emperor, who had never spoken, finally spoke, "Give jade." ”
Xie Yuzhu's heart moved, and she knocked on Xie Longen again. After that, with the eunuch who led the way, he was led to another garden, where a group of palace maids and eunuchs were waiting, and saw another show girl, a palace maid with a calm face, "Little master Wan'an, slave Suxiang, little master, please follow the slave side." ”
With that, Su Xiang got up and led Xie Yuzhu through the long corridor to the garden on the other side.
Led people in, Su Xiang bowed and said with a smile, "Today, the little lord will stay here, and tomorrow the holy decree will be read here." As he was talking, he saw the two personal maids Bai Lu brought by Xie Yuzhu from Xie Mansion, Bishui greeted her, one was behind Xie Yuzhu, and one stepped forward with a smile and took Su Xiang's hand and said, "Aunt Xie brought my little master over." ”
Su Xiang secretly weighed the weight of the silver money in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face, "It's serious." After that, Su Xiang looked around, leaned over and whispered, "The Queen Mother loves to worship Buddha on weekdays, and the emperor loves to go to the Star Tower on weekdays." I hope that the mother is cherished. Su Xiang retired. ”
The master and servant all glanced at each other, as if they hadn't heard those words, Bai Lu Bishui helped Xie Yuzhu across the threshold, and when he entered the house and closed the door, Bai Lu exclaimed, "Girl, how is the palace today." “
Bishui next to him glanced at Bai Lu, frowned, and said, "How can you repay the girl's call, it's time to call the little master." ”
Bai Lu reacted at this time, touched his head and smiled.
Xie Yuzhu looked at the two maids in front of her and smiled in her heart. Bai Lu jumped out, the blue water was calm, she was relieved of the two maids brought from home, but ...... After the reading of the position tomorrow, you will have to carefully look at the maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
