Ning suddenly woke up from the music of the piano, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Concubine Yi above who seemed to stop, and his subordinates continued to play. Thanks to Mama Cui's devil training, she was not greatly affected, but suddenly, she had a thought, she had performed well enough in the morning, and now she ......

The thought flashed through her mind, and she slowed down two more beats, but soon returned to normal. After all, I still want to be selected, and I can't go too far. But recalling the situation she had just glimpsed, it seemed that a palace maid was reporting something in Concubine Yi's ear, which made her lose her temper like this.

Maybe it's because my mind is a little messy, and the rest of the half of the song is not as good as the previous one, but it is just played down according to the usual practice, which can only be said to be good. After the piano was played, she got up and saluted uprightly, and waited for the decision of those harem girls.

At this time, Concubine Yi had already calmed down, but she was still in a bad mood, and said with a straight face: "What is this playing?" Messy?! ”

All the concubines knew what was going on, covering the fans with the fans, drinking tea with tea, wiping their sweat with their sweat, but no one echoed Concubine Yi. The concubine also smiled and asked, "Sister Yi, what's wrong?" Is the fire so big? Don't freak out these kids. Concubine Yi was a little annoyed, but it was not easy to refuse, so she had to shut up.

The concubine turned her head again and asked Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong: "What do the two sisters think?" Concubine Rong smiled: "This girl has excellent needlework and skills, and her piano skills are passable, so she is already outstanding." The concubine then smiled and said, "Since Sister Rong said so, then stay." Then ask the eunuch to leave Shuning's sign.

Shuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and succeeded. She rejoiced in her heart. But when he saluted, he found that his feet hurt again, gritted his teeth, and quickly retreated to the side, and cold sweat had faintly appeared on his forehead. It's too bad, and that's just the beginning. She could only try to focus on other show girls and divert her attention.

Next, Di Yuanning also played the piano, but she picked a very difficult tune, and her technique was almost perfect. It was praised by the concubines. There is nothing to be faulty about her dress etiquette, and her father is in charge of the things closely related to the daily use of the concubines in the internal affairs house, and the prince has already said hello, but he passed the customs smoothly.

Yuan Ning stood beside Shu Ning. Finding that her face was a little pale, he took a few more looks, expressing his doubts with his eyes. Shuning smiled reluctantly and shook her head, indicating that it was okay. Yuan Ning didn't believe it. But because someone from the palace concubine above had already glanced at this side, the two of them immediately stood up and didn't dare to do anything more.

Most of the subsequent show girl performances are just decent. Some of them made jokes. Some are too nervous and make more than a dozen mistakes when playing the piano; Some sang "hometown song" but broke the sound; Some people dropped their shoes while dancing; Some are chanting poems but can't answer the allusions in the poems.

The concubines above were very happy to watch, although most of them would try to maintain their dignified image. But there are also people who laugh out loud without giving face. Concubine Yi is still wearing a black face. Almost every show girl will be questioned by her. The concubine played a round every time, and Concubine Rong also helped the show girls say a few good words from time to time. There are also a few concubines and nobles on the side.

Gradually, there were already four or five people lined up on Shuning's side, and then it was Chang Lu's turn. At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from the door: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" It surprised everyone in Xuanzhong.

The Queen Mother has been old in the past few years, and she only likes to stay in Cining Palace to eat fasting Buddha, and rarely asks about the draft. Even when the two nieces and granddaughters of her mother's family came to apply, she only asked what the character of the local family of the marriage partner was, and did not make any requests. didn't expect her to suddenly come to the draft site, and the concubines were surprised, and hurriedly led the show girls to the outside of the pavilion to greet her.

The Queen Mother is a chubby old woman, kind and kind, and very kind. After she sat down in the main seat, she smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just bored after taking a nap, I heard that you guys are interesting here, just come over and join in the fun." Do whatever you want. ”

Having said that, how dare the concubines snub? still accompanied the dedication for a while, and then continued to conduct the re-election.

Chang Lu recomposed a poem written by a certain Hanlin to praise the emperor a few years ago, and performed it with a song. Although the singing voice is immature, it has a different flavor when it is crisp and crisp. In addition, she has a lovely appearance, and she has won the favor of some concubines. One of the concubines also smiled and said: "This child is pitiful, but it makes people happy when they see it." ”

The concubine glanced at the Queen Mother and saw that she also showed appreciation, so she said to the concubine: "Do you like it?" Then stay. Concubine Cheng thanked her. Chang Lu heard it below, just smiled shyly, and then retreated.

The sister in her land, called Qiweidi, is a different personality. Cheerful and laughing, because he is the youngest, he is also a little childish. She sang a long Mongolian tune, saying that she learned it with her father when she was in the northwest in the past, and she liked it very much. The concubine asked her about her family history and learned that her father had made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of Wang Fuchen, so she left her a sign.

Gradually, the red-flag-inlaid show girl was almost finished, but at this time, someone outside the door suddenly came to report that Wanning was here and asked to run for the election, and then her shadow appeared at the door.

There was a commotion among the show girls, and there was a lot of discussion. Shuning was also a little surprised, and said in her heart that she was injured like that, but she could still come?

It turned out that after Wanning was injured, she had severe foot pain and planned to be by-elected in the future. Later, Mama Hu came, and it was vaguely revealed in the conversation that if she missed this time, she might not have another chance, because she was not the only show girl who coveted the position of Wufujin. She already felt that the timing of her injury was too coincidental, but now she felt more and more that there was something wrong with it, so she made up her mind to participate. After being diagnosed and treated by the Tai Doctor, her injuries have healed a lot, and because of the alarm of the fifth elder brother, she invited an old lady doctor who is the best at iron injuries in the Tai Hospital to give her an injection, she felt that she could walk and jump, so she held on.

She told the queen mother and the concubines that she had recovered from a foot injury, and she didn't want to live up to the expectations of the girls, so she came, hoping that the girls would give her a chance. Before the concubines could say anything, the Queen Mother spoke first, smiling and asking Wanning to put on a good show.

Concubine Yi was a little angry when she saw Wanning, and even suspected that the Queen Mother was specially invited by her own son to help Wanning. I was still annoyed, but because the Queen Mother agreed first, it was not easy to stop her, so she didn't make a sound. The concubine smiled and asked Wan Ning to wait for all the red flag show girls to be selected before performing.

But Wanning's appearance undoubtedly stimulated the remaining two show girls, causing their performances to be unsatisfactory and both failed. Concubine Yi made a straight face and asked Wanning to start. But Concubine Rong smiled kindly and asked her what she wanted to perform.

As a result, Wanning clapped her hands. The two little eunuchs brought in four simple wooden screens, all covered with white veils, lined up, and then a palace maid carried a small case with pen and ink paint to the side. The 5,200 people who have evolved the strongest in history are talking. I don't know what Wanning is going to do.

I saw her Ying

With a salute, his waist swayed, and he actually danced, but he sang "When Will the Bright Moon Be There" in his mouth. Shuning heard a somewhat unfamiliar and somewhat familiar tone. I felt a little in a trance, and when I woke up, I found that Wanning had already taken the pen and dipped it in paint, and painted on the screen. She was in a trance again. Thinking this situation seems familiar?

Wan Ning was already dressed like a fairy concubine, and there was a bell hanging on her body somewhere, following her movements. Ringing sounds. It became the music to accompany it. The sleeves of the colorful butterflies are flying. On the four pieces of white yarn, the picture of Mei Lanju and the bamboo ground appeared, and her movements were beautiful. The singing voice was like a turn, and the people in Xuanzhong were stunned. When Wan Ning repeated the song three or four times, finished drawing four paintings, put down the pen and bowed down, there was no sound around.

Seeing everyone's reaction, a hint of pride flashed in Wan Ning's eyes, and a flower-like smile bloomed on her face, which suddenly overwhelmed the audience.

~~~~~~~~~~~I'm the dividing line after returning to the Chung Cui Palace~~~~~~~~~~=

When everyone returned to their residences, there was already a doctor waiting to heal Wanning. After he bandaged her injured foot again and told her to move less, he was invited by the palace maid to treat Shuning.

Shuning's injuries were not serious, but she barely walked without treatment, and she supported her for most of the day, and her injuries worsened, but they were more seriously injured than Wanning, but fortunately she didn't hurt her muscles and bones. The doctor told her to recuperate and try not to get out of bed in the last few days. Shuning asked for a pair of crutches and prepared to use them when needed.

There are more than a dozen show girls leaving, including the big girl. Yuan Ning went to give her a ride, and came back and sighed: "Sister Da Niu is pitiful, crying so sadly. The second sister's room was full of people, but she only cared about slapping the second sister, no one comforted her, and even the second sister only cared about asking her why she got her clothes dirty. Fortunately, there were other show girls who diverted their words, and the eldest sister took the opportunity to leave. ”

Shu Ning also felt very strange about this, so she asked Yuan Ning what was going on. Yuan Ning said: "I was talking to others at the time, and I didn't see it clearly, it seems that the eldest sister was watching the scenery by the window, a palace maid sent tea to pass by, and other show girls knocked down the teapot when they turned around, and only then did they dye the eldest sister's clothes." It was too early to turn back and change her clothes, so she had to continue dressing. ”

She paused before she said: "Sister Da Niu just cried and said to me, I only blamed myself for being confused for a while, coveting other people's gorgeous clothes and jewelry, but ruining my future." In fact...... I was also a little puzzled, at that time, Sister Da Niu and I were the first to arrive, she was wearing that dress, combing the same hair as everyone, and her back to everyone, if I hadn't known in advance, I might have recognized her as the second sister......" She raised her eyes to look at Shuning, and didn't say any more.

However, Shuning had already understood what she meant, and couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the big girl has suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, but when I think of myself, I don't know if it is one of the pond fish? The stick in front of the threshold of the palace is so strange to think about. However, for those who want to stay in the house to recuperate, it is useless to think about these things too much, so let's be more careful in the future. Anyway, he has been successfully selected, as long as he waits for Tongying's will.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but start paying attention to Ruifudi's actions, wondering if Ruifu would reveal the news to Tongying?

The two blue flag show girls were ready, but who knew that the last re-election was suddenly suspended. The Queen Mother was happy to play for a while, but she was tired, and she was affected by the wind on the way back, and she had a headache and brain fever. The imperial doctor was stationed in Cining Palace all day long, and several concubines took turns to serve, and even alarmed the emperor to feed the medicine himself, and for a while, no one took care of the more than ten unseen show girls in Zhongcui Palace, they were all a little panicked, so they had to take the opportunity to practice a few more times.

During this period of time, in addition to repeatedly reading the two books brought from home every day, Shuning did some needlework to relieve her boredom. She specially asked Refris to help get the materials, and made a pair of flat shoes, which were thicker and softer than the usual soles, so that she could wear them after getting out of bed. Yuan Ning occasionally chats with her, but more time is spent going out. She thought that Yuan Ning was looking for Jinxu, but later found out that it was not, and she was a little suspicious in her heart, but seeing that Yuan Ning refused to reveal it, it was inconvenient to ask again.

There are not many show girls who come to visit Shuning, except for Chang Lu and Qi Wei, who have come twice, that is, the show girl named Xiaoxue and her friend, a person surnamed Guo Jia named Zhao Yao, who came once.

And although Wanning is also recuperating from her injuries, her life is very lively, and people come to visit every day. Many show girls who were not very polite to her heard some rumors from Concubine Rong's words, and learned that Wan Ning would not become a member of the harem concubines, but the future Wufujin, and they were no longer hostile to her. It's just that Yueying still didn't give her a good face, just buried her head in the room to practice, preparing for the second election.

After two days, the Queen Mother recovered, and the re-election was finally able to continue. After some competition, the show girls of the two blue flags were eliminated again.

At this time, there were originally eighty show girls, and only forty-one were left. Among them, there is a young person like Qiwei, and the harem has made a decree to let the three show girls who have just turned thirteen go home first, and then enter the palace to read it in the future.

The remaining thirty-eight show girls occupy two more palaces, which is too wasteful, so the show girls living in Zhong Cui Palace have to move to Chuxiu Palace to live, randomly placed in each room with vacant beds, and live with the show girls with two yellow flags and two white flags.

Shuning's foot injury at this time had healed a lot, and she could barely walk normally. When she moved to a new residence with everyone, she saw Wan Ning again, who had not seen her for many days, and saw that she had a ruddy complexion and could walk and run, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, she herself was afraid that it would take a few more days to heal to this extent.

Wan Ning had made a lot of new friends at this time, and she was even better with Chang Lu, but she didn't love to stick to Shu Ning as before. Seeing this, Shuning only sighed slightly, and turned around to chat with her cousin and the treasure key, who she hadn't seen for many days.

She also met a new friend here. The show girl who moved here was placed in a room where only one person lived. In the room where she went, there lived a show girl with a yellow flag from the Han Army, only fourteen years old, but she behaved steadily, did not smile, and had a faint coldness. She has a beautiful appearance, a pair of eyes that are exceptionally black and bright, lined with snow-white skin, which reminds Shuning of a sentence: "The mountains are crystal snow".

When the two first met, the show girl wore a light yellow cheongsam, held a book in her hand, bowed her head slightly in a reserved manner, and said softly: "Fortunately, my surname is Wei Jiashi, and my single name is a Guan character." ”

Shuning was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Fortunately, my surname is his Tara clan, my name is Shuning, may I ask Lingtang's mother's surname?" ”
