Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Don't Want to Go Back to Luofu

"There is a washroom, you should wear your dresses and hair in a bun, and if you see the emperor later, you must behave decently!" After that, the eunuch in charge and the other little father-in-law left temporarily.

"If you get off the sign, what will you wait for when you go back?" A woman asked.

"Don't you know? If you are not selected, you can't marry privately, you may be assigned to marry the royal family, or you may become a candidate concubine, in short, if you are not selected, you have to stay in the palace all the time. At that time, my father would definitely feel very embarrassed, who of us there didn't know that I had chosen to be a show girl, and if I went back, I wouldn't be able to hang my face! ”

"yes, who wants to go back, let's go there and fix our hair!"

Several women whispered, but Luo Qingyun heard it clearly on the side! If she loses the election today, she will definitely return to Luofu again, and she will not be able to marry easily in the future! What's more, what kind of royal family, but anyone with status, who would be willing to marry a concubine, or a show girl who was unsuccessful, then wouldn't she have to stay in Luofu for the rest of her life. Her mind was full of thoughts, and her mind was clogged.

After a while, the eunuch in charge returned here with the name poster: "The one whose name I call now is standing on my left!" He raised his eyes and forgot to glance at the crowd: "Hu Xueqiao." ”

"In!" A woman stood out from the crowd.

The eunuch glanced down at the roster: "Han Xiling." ”

There was no response, a woman walked out with an indifferent expression and bowed her head to signal, Ruan Xiangjun said to Luo lightly with some fear: "This woman, her father is the commander of the five battalions of the Admiral's Nine Gate Infantry Army, and he is very powerful in the capital!" ”

"Oh!" Luo looked at him with envy.

This woman was the one who had just stood in the crowd and looked at them coldly. There were quite a few show girls, and the eunuch called for a while: "Luo Qingrong!" ”

"In!" She responded very happily and hurried out of the ranks.

But after a while, Luo Qingyun was the only one left among the show girls standing, and the eunuch looked at the list and glanced at her nonchalantly: "Luo Qingyun!" "This usually doesn't bode well at all.

"In!" She stood at the bottom of the position, but she didn't care, as soon as she saw that Luo Qingrong and herself were not entering in waves, she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart.

On the top of the main hall, there is a king who looks down on the world, and on his side, it is the queen mother. Seeing the sound of footsteps coming, the Queen Mother leaned into his ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, what about this draft girl, the most important thing is to choose a woman who can benefit the court, she may be implicated behind a certain important minister, if she looks worse, you also have to consider the overall situation, don't choose people who are beautiful but not beneficial to the court!" ”

The corners of the emperor's eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips were still curved: "Queen Mother, these sons and daughters you said will naturally consider it, but there must be a bottom line for such a poor appearance, just like ......"

Before the words fell, the women in the first row were already kneeling neatly at the bottom of the hall. The queen mother saw Han Xiling at a glance, and signaled to the chief eunuch Xiao Ping to flop, the emperor looked at it, pointed to a woman standing at the very edge, and chuckled: "This is extremely ugly!" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and frowned slightly, pursed her lips helplessly, she looked down at the background of the name book, and sighed: "She doesn't want it!" ”

Luo Qingrong came in in the third wave, she carried her uneasy heart, and knelt carefully under the hall, the queen mother signaled that she could flop, and the emperor glanced at her and said: "There is still a daughter in Luofu, just leave one person?" ”

The Queen Mother was surprised: "And? She hurriedly looked at the name book in her hand and asked: "It is written here that she is the daughter of Luofu, if there is more, then it must be a concubine, why is this Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household so careless, is the concubine also worthy of participating in the draft?" ”

The emperor snorted coldly, and chuckled: "What about the concubine?" Luo Mansion is not a big family, and Luo Haoxuan is not in an important position, as long as he keeps a daughter, it is enough! As for whether it is a concubine or a concubine, it is natural to choose one that is pleasing to the eye! ”

"If you want to stay, you naturally have to stay with your daughter!" The Queen Mother's tone was firm. The emperor was not annoyed: "Queen Mother, since this is the case, we don't have to argue, then let's all stay!" How is it? ”

"This ......" The Queen Mother frowned and reprimanded: "It's just a concubine, how can the emperor know that it will definitely be pleasing to the eye?" Looks like you've already met her! ”

The emperor smiled faintly and did not deny it.

Outside the hall, she saw that Luo Qingrong had already entered, so she immediately went to the bathroom to change out of the plain green skirt she was wearing outside. She has been wearing the phoenix tail skirt, Xiyan is very careful to help her make a different skirt, she cut the silk into regular strips, each with Jingyun Immortal embroidered flower and bird patterns, inlaid with gold threads on both sides, spliced into a skirt, the color of this skirt gradually changes, the fine silk is worn on the body, light and soft.

"Oh my God!" Sun Yingxue looked at her in surprise, circled around her three times before stopping, and said in disbelief: "You are so beautiful in this dress!" You're still prepared! What am I going to do now? She looked at her dress in despair and sighed: "My mother also said that the style I wear is the most fashionable in the capital, what is this?" The message is not accurate at all! ”

Luo Qingyun was stunned, looking at her skirt, her eyelashes fluttering: "I didn't come prepared, it's just that I really don't want to go back!" She paused, looking at the skirt she had changed, the embroidery of the skirt had been changed by Xiyan, and now it was embroidered with a golden bird, and there was no dragon and phoenix pattern for a long time, she asked timidly: "The color of this skirt is brighter than the one on your body, and the style is relatively new, if you don't dislike it......"

"How can you dislike it?" She took the skirt and smiled: "I originally thought that this one on your body was already very beautiful!" We're about the same height, so I must fit it perfectly! Thanks! With that, she picked up her skirt and ran into the bathroom.

Luo Qingyun bent her lips and smiled, for a long time, Sun Yingxue, who changed into this dress, seemed to be a different person, she had exquisite facial features, although she was not a beauty, but she was very delicate, with the plain and elegant appearance of this skirt, it was very refined.

In the main hall, she knelt timidly in the most marginal position, very inconspicuous. The Queen Mother just flipped over a sign, and then waved her hand and asked them all to go down. This row of women was dressed brightly, but Sun Yingxue was very abrupt in plain green, the emperor was stunned, and said: "That woman looks particularly fresh and refined, just stay!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Ping opened her sign as well.

Luo Qingyun secretly prayed that today's draft was her only chance to change her fate, even if the palace was bitter and dangerous, she didn't want to return to Luofu, the eunuch in charge came over, called his name again, and said, "You guys go in!" ”

Luo Qingyun took a deep breath, followed at the end, and entered the inner hall, she only dared to look at the road under her feet, he knew that it was the current emperor and the queen mother sitting on the top of the main hall, but he didn't know that the little guard in her eyes was looking at her.

Seeing her last to come in, the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly hooked, and his face was full of smiles. The Queen Mother looked at the name book in her hand and then glanced sideways at the emperor, and at this moment his eyes were on Luo Qingyun. The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked over, and her eyes lit up. The woman was dressed very beautifully today, and even the concubines of Biluo Province were dressed brilliantly. It seems that this girl is also a bewitching master, if the emperor is interested in her, it is not a good thing, the queen mother sighed secretly, this has been a lot of disasters since ancient times.

When the draft ended, everyone stood outside the hall, Luo Qingrong glanced at her, but was surprised to find that she had changed a skirt, this Luo Qingyun was only willing to do so much on weekdays, it turned out that her mind was so heavy, she actually hid such a beautiful skirt.

The father-in-law in charge arranged for the other eunuchs to post a red name post on the notice, and then said, "There are names here, you can leave them!" Later, there will be a grandmother to take you to the residence, tonight you don't live in the palace, temporarily live in the side hall! Tomorrow someone will arrange for you to go to the palaces and halls! As for those who don't have names, they can go back now! ”

After that, everyone crowded in front of the bulletin board, Han Xiling stood in the distance without care, and Ruan Xiangjun naturally knew the result without looking at it. Luo Qingyun couldn't squeeze in at all, but Sun Yingxue was very energetic, and when she got in front of people, Luo Qingrong was also squeezed in it. Suddenly, a woman took the lead in crying, and many other unsuccessful show girls followed suit. Crying for a while, Luo Qingyun breathed tightly, and her mood was uneasy, but when she saw Sun Yingxue squeezing out, her eyes were shining, and her eyes were dense, she paused and said, "Qingyun, we are both chosen!" ”
