Chapter 4 This is how the show girl was chosen
It's been half a month since I entered the palace. In the past half month, it can be said that it has been very hurtful.
You plan to sleep in, and early in the morning, your father-in-law will come and call you to go to military training. That's right, it's military training. This set of ancient draft girls is really not a joke. It can be said that it is quite harsh. First, a show girl was selected, and the results of this competition were directly decided by the emperor. The competition is divided into three rounds, and the last two rounds have a first place who will stand out, and the first place in the final comprehensive score will be given priority to meet the emperor, and most likely the first to sleep.
The first round is the basic elimination round, which is only eliminated and no ranking is recorded. Age, family history, height, weight, and physical condition are required items. Only one person was eliminated in this round, and it is said that he is not a virgin. No one knows whether this is true or false, Su Die only knows that this girl's young life has been a cold winter since then. It doesn't matter if it's framed, it's good if it's true. In such a feudal and conservative place, as soon as this matter comes out, no one will suspect that the people in the palace will cheat, and no one will suspect that someone will frame her. will only think that she has lost all the face of the family, does not abide by women's morals, and deserves it. In the world, no one can accept her anymore. Pathetic, lamentable.
This second round is an equestrian experience she never thought of. The winner is naturally Sima Xiao, the daughter of General Sima. Horseback riding is a performance, pity her Su Die, she is a weak woman before she crosses, although the wind can't blow away, but it can also be said that she is a deep boudoir woman who does not go out of the door. In this round, the person who asked the question really had an enmity with her.
However, this project is not far-fetched, and it is said that the emperors of Nanbin have all admired martial arts. All of them are practitioners, the one who goes up to the dragon chair, and the generals who go down to all walks of life, they are all able to fight and resist. Even if this Chongwu is forgotten, the civil officials in the court are not vegetarians, as far as she looks at the few historical records she flips through when she is in medical skills, she knows that the person who holds the pen is not a soft bone. Why? Because it is written in black and white about the merits and deeds of each generation of kings, and it has not been let go of lingering in the harem and the like, this ...... It is simply the reincarnation of Sima Qian.
How did the equestrian pass this level, Su Die doesn't remember anymore. bumped down, and what supported her was completely the strength to not admit defeat. There was only one sentence in her mind: she couldn't fall. Su Die only remembered that when she was lying on the bed with her whole body scattered, her only thought was: never ride a horse again in this life, and she won't ride to death.
In the second round, fortunately, it was not a real equestrian test, but only to arrive at the designated place within the specified time to get the designated items and return. She narrowly brushed the edges through. In this round, it is said that there are no eliminations. But the next day, when he saw all of them in good spirits, Su Die really admired them. Those who go through the back door are naturally more spiritual, such as her eldest sister; The rest must feel that they are one step closer to the emperor, and they are ready to continue to fight in order to enter this harem, so they are spiritual. One thing descends one thing, the ancients were right!
This third round is the traditional qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. But this topic is very unconventional.
Let's start with this painting. The question asks you to draw a man, and anyone can do it. As soon as this question came out, it was embarrassing for the little sisters who were embarrassed to answer, all of them were red-faced and red-eared, and they didn't know how to pick up the pen. Fortunately, her eldest sister was smart, and she began to draw her father with a pen, so she learned one by one, and after this exam, her eyes were full of her father. Of course, it is not excluded that some people want to paint the emperor, but have you ever seen someone? Naturally, this can't be drawn. The women here are no different from the ancient Chinese women, and they are all locked in the boudoir before they get married.
In this round, Su Die painted no one else, it was her enemy in her previous life - Li Feifei. He stood under a tree of begonias, his expression was arrogant, but his eyes were full of love. This scene is the scene where he confessed to her under the tree. As for why he painted him, Su Die couldn't say clearly, but he came back to his senses, he was already on her rice paper, and he didn't have time to paint again. It's not surprising to say that the only man in her heart is him. The mark seems too deep to be smoothed out for a while.
After the painting was taken away, she felt a kind of apprehension that she had never felt before. The painting was the emperor's personal purpose, and it can't be said that he is not afraid, but he knows that she is almost done with it. This is under the emperor's nose, and he will definitely not be able to run. Let's not talk about the pot that committed suicide by jumping into the lake for the sixth prince, she was still drawing other men when she entered the palace for the exam, and she changed another one, Su Die estimated that the emperor would either give her poisonous wine directly, or directly split the corpse of five horses. That's it, just don't involve the family of the former lord, Bodhisattva bless.
In order not to be a starving ghost, Su Die returned to the yard and began to order various dishes, ready to eat and go on the road. But happiness always comes suddenly, she will eat two bites, and the father-in-law in the redwood green shirt will come. Su Die looked at death as if she was going home, and was just about to say goodbye to Ah Xiang, who knows, the redwood father-in-law in front waved his hand, and the mermaids behind him rushed in, carrying all kinds of Zhu Hai jewelry, silk cloth, and pastries and food. This time, Su Die was completely dumbfounded.
In the second round, Su Die won. The emperor himself judged and rewarded a bunch of jewels as a sign of favor. Su Die really couldn't figure it out, didn't this emperor have a tendency to be masochistic, so that this heart belongs? Moreover, rewarding her with such a bunch of things for everyone to see, this is ...... Are you ready for the rhythm of her tragic death before she even sets foot in the harem door? This revenge is preparing to kill people with a knife? Thinking of this, Su Die's heart trembled, and one day will be counted as one day. Thinking of the favorite concubine who everyone hated in the court drama, her back was really cold, and it was really cold.
The calligraphy and piano skills in the back, etc., may be affected by her reward, and she won all the jackpots. Under the cynicism of this group of warblers and Yanyan, Su Die was not talented and became the first place in the comprehensive score of this draft.
On the fourth day, the military training mentioned above began, which lasted for ten days, mainly taught by the court etiquette female officials the court etiquette and the royal court law, up to the daughter's scripture, down to the sexual intercourse, everything. It is equivalent to telling you in advance that women are not allowed to interfere in politics and are not allowed to contact other families too much. What kind of process should be followed when entering the palace, how should I serve the emperor, and how should I give birth to children for the royal family. Brainwash in advance and be prepared.
When it came to the section of intercourse, the ceremonial female officials had not yet begun, and the young ladies below had already begun to blush. The female officer cleared her throat and told the eighteen-year-old children word by word how to prepare for bed, how to serve wholeheartedly, and how to ...... Well, although Su Die is clear, so many people are sitting together and listening, and they are really a little embarrassed, really embarrassed.
The course on sex and childbirth is the best course for the ladies to work with. Everyone in class was full of energy, and I must remember it very clearly. There is nothing more important to them than to be favored and to give birth to a dragon heir. As for the other courses, I can only say that...... Pinch yourself to listen to it. For example, in the course of the Daughter's Sutra, she saw with her own eyes that General Sima's pearl in the palm of his hand pinched herself at least four or five times, which shows that this person is also a fellow practitioner, and he really can't afford to be a little bit energetic about this pedantic rules and regulations.
Fortunately, Ah Xiang knows that she has been working hard recently, and her food is very exquisite, changing her tricks every day, thinking that she can eat comfortably and deliciously. If you want to say that Nanbin's eating habits, Su Die thinks that they are the most similar to those in Sichuan, which is mixed with the essence of Hong Kong-style refreshments. No chili peppers, no survival; If you don't refined, you can't live. Although the names of the dishes are very different, this practice, seven, seven, eight, eight. Su Die saw what fell into the red dust in the Xiangfu, and knew that this was Sichuan cuisine, and there was nothing wrong with the boiled meat. There are also all kinds of pastries and pastries later, the filling is exquisite, the mold is exquisite, the entrance is sweet but not greasy, and the mouth is full of fragrance. This pastry without additives is really not ordinarily delicious. Modern fast pastries are dusty compared to this.
In the days of combining food and military training, Su Die gritted her teeth and persevered until the last fourteenth day. I thought I had seen the dawn, but who knew that there was a passing exam on the last day, which was simply ...... Lose your conscience! Guwen is what she hates to memorize the most, hey...... Who will save her, she really still likes Hyundai!
The night was cloudless. At this end, Su Die fought at night, working overtime for the damn exam on the last day. At the other end, Wan Yan looked at the man in the portrait attentively, and fell into deep thought. He had been looking at this portrait for dozens of days.
The huge Zhaohua Hall was empty, the candle flame flickered, and there was a slight wind outside the window. Wan Yan Che's casually draped black hair was gently blown, covering his eyes, and his nose fell again. Strands of hair ran across his slender hands and landed on his shoulders. Time seems to freeze, and if you are close to you, you will be ashamed to say: Your Majesty, get up, don't catch a cold. In fact, even if he is cold, His Majesty's physique and internal strength are no one better than him. He just...... It's just that I can't stand Your Majesty's appearance, confusing sentient beings, confusing sentient beings. He was guilty.
On the fifteenth, it ended quickly. The show girls stood in two columns, quietly waiting for the female officials to announce the final candidates. Su Die raised his head slightly, when he came in, there were at least twelve or thirteen people, and now, there were only six people left. According to the layers of screening before the show girl enters the palace, this elimination rate is really high. The background is not bad, the appearance is not bad, and everything else is equal. Since these objective things are all comparable, then only the human heart can win or lose.
Whether it was the help and suppression of people outside the palace, or the emperor had other thoughts, these are not conclusive. It can only be said that Su Die has no way back now. At the end of this draft, I must have to clear my mind with the emperor, and I have no intention of wading into this troubled water, just hoping for peace and joy. If not, at least she can't follow the wishes of the sixth prince, she Su Die will never be reduced to fish and meat and be slaughtered by others.
In the eighth year of Zhengyuan, Emperor Yuanche inherited the great cause of his ancestors, ensured the stability of the royal family, and pro-draft six women entered the palace, extending incense for the royal family, and spreading branches and leaves. The eight are Su Xiang's daughters, Su Meng and Su Die; The daughter of Lord Nanxiang, Nanxiang Bi; The daughter of Ma Daren, Ma Xiujun; The daughter of General Sima, Sima Xiao, and a woman from the people - Qing He.
