Chapter 13: The Draft
The successive bad news stabbed him in the heart fiercely, and Yun Xuan's departure was equivalent to making up for his last knife.
Suddenly, a mouthful of dirty blood vomited out of Xiao Feng's mouth, and the whole person suddenly fainted, and at the moment of losing consciousness, the last thought in his mind was: Yun Muyao, I won't spare you!
The love-hate relationship between Xiao Feng and Yun Xuan was planted at this time, tightly entangling the two.
Izumo Castle, Cloud House.
A slender figure leaned lightly against the pillars, looking at the two ginkgo trees in the courtyard, because they were all bare branches after the season, and they seemed a little desolate.
A low sigh escaped from the woman's mouth.
"What's wrong? Since you came back, the whole person has become sentimental, what the hell is going on? Are you in love with the Fourth Prince?" A long figure appeared beside her, frowning slightly and asking with concern.
Yun Xuan turned her head and glared at the person when she heard this, "What nonsense, I didn't fall in love with him!" Third brother, I just feel unwilling, I spent so much scheming and hard work, but it was not Xiao Feng who ascended to the throne in the end. ”
Yun Jun raised his eyebrows, "Since you haven't fallen in love with him, there's nothing to worry about, it's a big deal to start over." ”
"Starting over?" Yun Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's not easy to talk about. ”
"After the year, it will be the day of the new emperor's draft, since you have made up your mind to enter the palace, take advantage of this time to prepare well, and you must find a way to be favored when you enter the palace, otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive as a woman in the harem where you eat people and don't spit out bones."
"I know."
"By the way, the second brother asked me to tell you something." Yun Jun hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The Fourth Prince sent people everywhere to inquire about your news. ”
Yun Xuan remembered what Xiao Feng said to her when he was leaving that night, and he told her to wait for him.
She suddenly became a little irritable, "Got it. ”
"The second brother also said that if you regret it now, it's too late." Yun Jun persuaded: "Xuan'er, in fact, I have the same idea as the second brother, entering the palace may not be the best choice, it is rare to meet a lover in the world, the fourth prince is infatuated with you, you might as well ......"
"Say no more!" Yun Xuan interrupted him, "Before I knew that Lin Yin had become the current queen, it would be impossible for me to give up entering the palace. Five years ago, she humiliated me and our entire Yun family, and I will return it to her even more. ”
"In that case, what are you still sighing and sighing all day long? You shouldn't really be in love with Xiao Feng, right? Yun Jun's eyes were like red, and he asked sharply.
"I didn't." Yun Xuan lowered her head to avoid Yun Jun's gaze, with a hint of complicated emotions in her voice.
"Then forget about him." Hearing the struggle in her words, Yun Jun made a decision for her autocraticly.
"Xiao Feng is not a person to be messed with, since you have lost him, it is best to avoid seeing him again, otherwise I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to you." Yun Jun said worriedly.
"I know that."
Xiao Feng once said that if she dared to betray him, she would definitely not be able to bear his revenge. His cruel words were still in her ears, and every sentence struck into her heart.
Anyway, she should be careful in the future, and the matter of entering the palace in front of her is the most important.
A touch of majestic figure, standing in the pavilion in the backyard of the palace, standing in a white shirt against the wind, even more chic and handsome.
As soon as Li Hao returned to the palace from outside, he came over directly, "Lord Wang." ”
"Any news of her?"
"Not yet."
The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth hooked up a sneer, "She can't escape, I won't let go of anyone who betrays me, especially her!" ”
The coldness and ruthlessness in his voice added a trace of uneasiness to Li Hao's face.
Suddenly, after experiencing such a big change, Xiao Feng fell seriously ill after vomiting blood that day, and lay on the bed for three days.
After recovering from his illness, Xiao Feng seems to have changed as a person, and the gentleness and kindness of the past seem to have become a cloud of the past, and he has transformed into today's deep and cold.
"Lord Wang, there are more important things waiting for you to do, since Miss Mu Yao has left, it is better to forget about her. It's not worth the effort to spend on a woman who is unkind. ”
"I, Xiao Feng, am not a person who can be played with, if she dares to do this, she should have the courage to bear my revenge. Don't worry, revenge on her won't prevent me from doing my job. ”
No one can trick him and get out of the way. He will never forget that she regarded his sincerity as nothing.
The plausible letter she left behind seemed perfunctory throughout, and she really played him for a fool!
In the second year of Tiansong, spring begins.
It has been half a year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, he will select women to enter the palace across the country.
The day Yun Xuan entered the palace, it was a very sunny day, the seventh day of the second month, the auspicious day of the zodiac.
She stood with the show girls from all over the world, black pressed a group of people, with green, fat, red and thin, different postures, tender faces and moths, and the fragrance of fat powder.
There are a large number of draft girls in this year's draft, but fortunately, Yun Xuan is relatively front, and she only stood for less than half an hour before it was her turn to be a show girl in that row.
The six show girls are in a row, walk into the temple together, kneel and salute according to the command of the inner supervisor on the side, and then stand up together, stand aside and wait for the roll call of the inner supervisor of the celebrant, and then go out one by one to see.
I only heard an old eunuch shout one by one in a dumb and shrill voice:
"He Qiaolin, the daughter of General He, is eighteen years old."
A woman beside Yun Xuan came out of the ranks, her posture was light, she bowed her head and blessed her, and her voice was like a warbler: "The courtier He Qiaolin sees the emperor and the queen, may the emperor live long and be blessed, and the queen will be auspicious." ”
The emperor laughed, "I have heard for a long time that General He's beloved daughter is outstanding, and when I see it today, she is really beautiful." ”
He Qiaolin smiled slightly with a happy face, "Thank you for the emperor's appreciation." ”
The queen said with a laughing voice, and instructed the eunuch, "Don't hurry up and write down the name for retention." ”
He Qiaolin stepped back and turned to stand beside Yun Xuan. He Qiaolin is the concubine of General He, and General He is one of the biggest contributors to Xiao Hua's successful ascension to the throne, and Yun Xuan is not surprised that she can be selected.
"Yun Xuan, the daughter of the Yin of Izumo Castle Mansion, is seventeen years old."
Yun Xuan took two steps forward, and Ying Ying was blessed, "The courtier Yun Xuan sees the emperor and the queen, may the emperor live long and be blessed, and the queen will be auspicious." ”
The Emperor sat up straight and said in an interested tone, "Raise your head." ”
Yun Xuan slowly raised her head obediently and glanced at the emperor, and she saw an undisguised amazement in the emperor's eyes.
"Come forward."
Yun Xuan stepped forward and took a few steps, and was seen by the emperor's scorching gaze.
But she remembered what her eldest brother said, Xiao Hua's personality is different from Xiao Feng's, Xiao Hua's personality is more flamboyant and domineering.
So although Yun Xuan was shy, she still looked at him boldly. Sure enough, the interest in the emperor's eyes became a little stronger.
His eyes were still staring at her, and he said slowly, "Yun Xuan, keep it." ”
Yun Xuan bowed and bowed, silently arriving. From this moment on, she will officially become one of the concubines of this harem.
