There were a total of twenty women who entered the palace with Sun Qingyang to participate in the selection of concubines by the imperial grandson, some from the people, and some from the courtiers.

These twenty women are tall, short, fat and thin, with all the facial features and appearance; The sound of the swallow warbler, the speech and demeanor are elegant everywhere. Even the length of the hands and feet has been measured by the measuring instrument used by the inner servant, and those with short wrists, huge toes, and long feet are all eliminated.

Although Sun Qingyang is a heavenly foot, he is born small and can be stuck online.

The twenty women selected in this way, although they all have the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon and a sinking fish and a goose, they are all bright eyes and bright teeth, graceful and graceful.

He Jiayu and the Yuan sisters are among them, and there are two familiar faces who have seen them, Li Ruishan of Li Shilang's family at the Hundred Flowers Dynasty, and Sun Rouyue of Sun Shangshu's family.

What was left in the prince's mansion was Sun Qingyang and Zhao Yaoying, Qin Xueyi promised Li Liangdi's second emperor grandson Zhu Zhanjun after the marriage, and was preparing to marry, just wait for the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji to marry, and then he could pass the mansion.

In front of the green curtain car in front of the Xuanwu Gate sorted by their age, Zhao Yaoying was talking to Sun Qingyang in an inaudible voice, "I heard that there is an old lady in the palace who wants to check her body in the back, it's really embarrassing." On weekdays, even when I take a bath, I don't let the maids wait by my side, which is still in front of strangers, so nervous. ”

Sun Qingyang gently squeezed her hand and comforted: "Since we have reached this point, let's listen to it, and if we can stand it, we will accept it." ”

Zhao Yaoying nodded, "The people in front have boarded the car, and I have gone too, sister, you are the youngest, and the car at the back of the line is yours, go over quickly." ”

Sun Qingyang smiled and walked slowly towards her car, and Du Ruo followed behind her.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Hu Shanxiang, who was already sitting in the car, gently lifted the curtain and looked outside.

The sky is blue, the sunlight shines on the yellow glazed tiles on the eaves of the palace, a piece of golden splendor, between the beams and fangs decorated with ink lines and large dots of gold spindles, the color paintings are dizzy to see.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the fifteenth year of Yongle, the wind and the sun were warm, and it was really a good day.

At the beginning of Hongwu, the eldest sister Shanwei was elected to the palace because of her outstanding talent and was named Shanggong, and her father Hu Rong was also awarded the post of Jinyi Wei Baihu, and her brother Juan had to be selected as the companion of Zhu Zhanji, who was still the emperor's grandson at that time. Now, he has been edicted to run for the imperial concubine, and listening to his father's private intentions, the emperor intends to choose her as the imperial concubine.

It's just that no one has ever asked their hearts.

There are seven sisters in the family, they are the third, they have never been the pearl of their parents' palms, the eldest sister is like a flower, and the younger sister is delicate and lovely.

Gain, but a virtuous and virtuous reputation, how can such a good thing fall on his head?

The jealous eyes of the second sister and the fourth sister, the envious look of the fifth sister, the sixth sister and the seventh sister are still young, and they are also pestering themselves to bring them into the palace to eat delicious food and have fun.

How could it be that he entered the palace and was elected as the imperial concubine? After the primary selection, selection, and the first and second trials of the inner attendants, she still felt like a dream when she arrived outside this Xuanwu Gate.

Entering the Xuanwu Gate, there was an attendant who led a green curtain cart to follow to Shouchang Palace.

Shouchang Palace is a second courtyard, located in the east of Shou'an Palace, north of Wan'an Palace, it is impossible for ordinary show girls to enter the palace to be selected here, because among these twenty women, nearly half of them will become the concubines of the imperial grandson, and Emperor Yongle specially ordered them to learn the etiquette in the palace here, waiting for candidates.

Generally speaking, when the emperor and grandson marry, only one concubine and two concubines are determined by the emperor or the queen, and the rest of the concubines can slowly welcome into the palace later, but Emperor Yongle in order to avoid the inappropriate people in Zhu Zhanji's harem, who will become the king of a country in the future, is determined to personally select his first batch of women for his grandson.

The kind of thing that favors the harem so much that his relatives sit big must not appear in his most optimistic successor to the throne.

The main seat of Shouchang Palace is Concubine Ren Shun, when the palace of the imperial grandson is elected, she will help each other with the two concubines of King Zhang, Concubine Chen Li and the crown princess, and put these twenty people here with her, which also means that the ladies in the palace will be sifted and washed again at the end.

When they entered the courtyard of the apse of Shouchang Palace, the chamberlain who led Sun Qingyang and them in retreated, but no one else came to greet them.

At the beginning, everyone was still standing upright with bated breath, and no one came for a long time, all of them were fifteen, six, or seven girls, where they could bear it, they gathered in groups of three or five, chatting for a few days, and for a while, the courtyard was full of soft words, although the noise was also very good.

Sun Qingyang and Zhao Yaoying stood under the corner of the corridor, teasing the parrot under the eaves.

"Sister Qingyang, we are really destined." Sun Qingyang's right shoulder was patted, she turned around in surprise, and saw He Jiayu standing behind her prettyly, seeing her startled, covering her mouth with a brocade and smiling.

I haven't seen him for several years, He Jiayu, who is wearing a light green shirt, has skin like jade, is beautiful and beautiful, very bright, and her smart big eyes are like black and white crystal pills, sparkling.

Sun Qingyang smiled and nodded at her slightly.

He Jiayu smiled at her coquettishly, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

I haven't seen it for a few years, the baby fat in the past years has faded, and Sun Qingyang, who is more radiant than snow, has a goose egg face that is extremely beautiful, among the many women who are as beautiful as flowers in this courtyard, she is like a pearl under the eaves, beautiful jade is shining, and the bookish atmosphere between her eyebrows makes people look sideways, at this time she just looks at herself, she feels stagnant, as a woman and is still confused by her beauty, no wonder the palace has rumored that the imperial grandson almost fell out with the emperor for her, no matter how unhappy she is in her heart, she can't be angry with her, only so, In order to win the favor of the imperial grandson through her.

The position or anything is not as important as the mind of the emperor's grandson, the emperor and the crown prince can make the decision who he marries as the concubine, but he can't make the decision who he likes.

Since the imperial grandson likes Sun Qingyang like this, then, how close you are to her, so that you can learn what she is good at and do what the imperial grandson likes.

Thinking of her mother's admonition to herself, He Jiayu even hid the trace of jealousy in her eyes, lowered her voice and said sympathetically: "Sister Qingyang, I have listened to your affairs, don't be sad, in all dynasties, the queen is not as favored as the emperor, and besides, she is only a concubine, and she will have a long life in the future......"

Before he finished speaking, he was already covered by Sun Qingyang, "You don't want to die, how dare you say such things in the palace, let people hear it, let alone being selected, even your life will be lost." ”

He Jiayu's eyes were filled with tears, "I'm not worth it for my sister, and the people in this courtyard can't cover my sister's grace, why, if she hasn't chosen yet, she can get the biggest prize." ”

"Sister He, you have a good intention, I understand it, but I don't dare to say such words again, just the sisters standing in this courtyard, which one is not much better than me? Not to mention anything else, as far as you and Sister Zhao are concerned, I can't do enough. What's more, the imperial grandson is not a person who values color and ignores morality, and his concubine is, of course, a sage. Although you and I are young, we don't dare to talk about our intentions. You and I have known each other since childhood, and you treat me kinder than others, just know it, you don't have to be like this. ”

He Jiayu saw that Sun Qingyang's voice trembled a little, so he didn't say any more, only quietly pointed to a woman in yellow in the courtyard, and whispered: "That, it's the third daughter of the Hu family, Shanxiang." She has an older sister, who is Shanggong, and she is very appreciated by Wang Guifei. ”

Before Sun Qingyang could answer, Zhao Yaoying had already looked at the woman in yellow.

Hu Shanxiang, who was talking to the people around him, felt that someone was looking at him, raised his head to look at them, and met Zhao Yaoying's gaze, so he smiled at her.

Zhao Yaoying only felt that Hu Shanxiang's eyebrows were indescribably friendly, although he was not born to be charming, he looked dignified and beautiful, and he had a graceful atmosphere, so he also smiled slightly.

Hu Shanxiang glanced at Zhao Yaoying twice, and his eyes fell on Sun Qingyang beside her, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, what a beautiful girl!

There are many sisters in the Hu family, and there are also outstanding beauties among relatives and friends.

But seeing Sun Qingyang, Hu Shanxiang was still shocked.

Sun Qingyang felt that there were eyes looking at him, raised his eyes to see Hu Shanxiang, and nodded at her with a smile.

Just smiled faintly, but the famous poem came to Hu Shanxiang's mind: There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country.

Born so beautiful, the demeanor between the lines is elegant and calm, the style is magnificent, and although he is young, he looks like the head of everyone.

Why would he abandon such a woman and choose himself as the imperial concubine?

Hu Shanxiang felt like a chess piece, forced to put it on the chessboard, against a fate that should not belong to her.

Sun Qingyang only felt that Hu Shanxiang's eyes were clear and calm, and the gaze projected was appreciative and friendly, so he smiled at her again.

He Jiayu saw that the two of them didn't show the slightest resentment, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, the more beautiful the women in this palace are quite similar in status, the more they are leaning towards each other, and they are cheating, because everyone wants to fight each other down to get the grace and glory alone, and often keep this appearance in the king's heart, why are these two, and Zhao Yaoying next to them, so friendly? Could it be that their minds are too shallow to see the jealousy and resentment in their eyes? Before she could think about it, she suddenly heard a woman's clear shout from the courtyard gate: "Aunt Qi Ning is here, you, and you, the four of you come and stand in a row......"

Sun Qingyang and a few people carried towards the courtyard gate, and four or five women dressed as palace maids came in with a woman who looked like an aunt in charge.

He Jiayu grabbed Sun Qingyang's arm and walked to the courtyard with her, saying affectionately as she walked: "Let's stand together later, so that we can live together." Ah Wei and Ah Zhi are over there, let's go find them. ”

actually left Zhao Yaoying behind.

Sun Qingyang remained silent, stood still, waited for Zhao Yaoying to come over, took her hand, and said to He Jiayu with a smile: "Sister Zhao and I grew up together since childhood, I want to be with her." ”

He Jiayu hurriedly smiled, "Yes, I'll go and talk to Ah Zhi, if their sisters are willing to separate, let her be with us, if they don't want to separate, let Li Ruishan come over." She is also familiar to you, let's go together, so let's talk about ourselves. ”

Although Yuan Yuanzhi wanted to be with He Jiayu, she didn't want to leave her sister Yuan Yuanwei, so she stood in the group next to them, together with Sun Rouyue and another girl named Ma Qianyan.

Hu Shanxiang and three other girls stood on the right side of the Yuan sisters' group.
