"My name is Wuya Xiuxin." She smiled, very moving, although her facial features are not exquisite, but the beauty is intriguing.

Tong Jingshu looked at me puzzled, I made a look, and immediately diverted the topic.

"Sister Jingshu, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, how did you recognize me all of a sudden?"

"You forgot a cinnabar mole behind your ear? When I saw that cinnabar mole, I guessed it was you. Tong Jingshu was always clever and didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and happily told me interesting things about her growth over the years.

But I was like an ant on a hot pan, very uneasy. I never thought that I would meet Jingshu in the palace, she knows my background, if she accidentally leaks my secrets in the future, or if something else happens, how should I deal with myself? At that time, Dong E's family will be affected by me, and it seems that I have to find a way not to stay in the palace. Is it stupid to pretend to be crazy? What if I am involved? Just as I was in my trance, we were all summoned to the front temple to face the saint.

I made sure I was dressed very plainly. Remembering that he didn't apply fat powder, he only combed his hair twice, and didn't wear a flag head, but he was afraid of being rude, so he put a plain silk flower on his hair. With such an ugly duckling like me among all the show girls, the emperor will definitely not care about me. Thinking about it like this, my mood gradually calmed down.

I was walking forward side by side with Jingshu, but suddenly a show girl came up from behind and squeezed me back without saying a word. Tong Jingshu stopped and just wanted to reason with her, but I hinted that Jingshu should not be silent. I went to the end of the line, so it's better for me.

When I traveled to the emperor and the queen mother, I never dared to look up. After Ping, I only listened to my father-in-law say whose name was read, and he stepped forward to be questioned by the emperor and queen. The selected show girls will get a jade ruyi, and the unsuccessful show girls will be given sachets.

In this way, I have not heard my name read yet. I didn't dare to look up, and when I heard that Tong Jingshu was selected, I was still very happy for her. There are also eleven people including Wu Ya's Xiuxin, Muktu's Whelan, etc., who were selected. In fact, the decision on which show girl to choose is not up to the emperor alone, I noticed that the queen mother seems to interject from time to time but plays a decisive role.

I was the last to be called in for questioning.

"Have you ever read?" The voice is slightly magnetic, and when you hear it, it is the emperor's voice.

"The courtiers have never read a book, nor do they know a few words." When I replied, I hated to bury my head in my stomach.

"Then you can play the rhythm?" The emperor asked again.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and courtiers are dull and not good at music." The palms of my hands stacked on my knees were already sweaty. After replying, the emperor was silent for a long time, and took a long breath, as if he was very disappointed, and I seemed to see the dawn in my heart.

"Wu Liangfu, how many people have I chosen?"

"Back to the emperor, there are eleven people in total, six people from the Manchu Army Banner, and five people from the Han Army Banner."

"That's it, it's just her, just make up an even number." The voice was lazy, but it fell on me like a huge stone, and I couldn't turn over.

"Your Majesty, this woman is a vulgar person at first glance, she doesn't understand the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if the emperor doesn't like it, why force it?" The queen was on the sidelines, speaking out to dissuade her.

"I don't like illiterate women, but she dresses like the queen to learn, hahaha......" I only heard the emperor laugh a few times and then drove away.

I never expected that I would be left behind because of my clothes, and after a trance of thanks, I staggered to my feet. The eunuch beside me, just when I was overjoyed and happy. How did he know that I was very worried because I was in dire straits? As everyone knows, the cold jade Ruyi I hold in my hand is actually a hot potato.

From the front hall to the back yard, the road was less than 500 meters, and I was stunned to walk for a century.

"Cool evening!" Tong Jingshu saw me return to Chuxiu Palace, and happily stepped forward to hold my hand. "I knew you would be selected, and I will take the bunk for you."

"That's right, Sister Jingshu is good to you, it just so happens that the three of us are in a room, and we can also be companions." Wu Ya Shi Xiuxin continued on the side. Although she is not so beautiful, she has an unconcealable charm, and she is clever and full of style, which should be the type that most men like.

"Well, thank you, two sisters." I followed the two of them back to the room, and it was still interesting to look at the furnishings in the room. The carved bed of pear blossom wood, the light gauze curtain of light yellow. A bouquet of daffodils sprouting buds is placed in the window, which complements the bronze wind chimes in front of the door. Although it is a strange place, it looks very warm.

Next, the twelve show girls we selected will be taught the palace rules by the palace with considerable qualifications. When you are familiar with the palace rules, you can let the worship room hang the green head card to sleep. Lying on the bed at night, the three of us are not very lively, and the topic they talk about the most is what to do when they become concubines, but I am thinking carefully in my heart about how to spend the days in the future. I think I have to find an opportunity to be alone with Tong Jingshu and ask her not to tell me about my life experience in front of others. Listening to their arguments, my eyelids grew heavy and I fell asleep at some point.

Due to sleeping too late the night before. We didn't have much energy when we woke up in the morning. Especially Jingshu and I, when we were training to walk, we frequently threw the porcelain bowl above our heads to the ground, and whenever the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, I would be energetic, but then I was depressed.

Wu Ya's heart is very energetic, and he learns well. Mama hated that iron could not be made of steel, so she lowered her voice and yelled at us, "If you two don't practice well today, don't have lunch." At this moment, the queen came with a group of eunuchs and palace maids in her palace.

"Mama Li, this palace appreciates people like you who reward and punish clearly." At first glance, the queen looks like a fire floating over. The beads on his body tinkled and clanged. "Cui'er, appreciate Mama." The little palace maid beside the queen listened, took out a silver ingot from her arms and handed it to the practice grandmother. Mama received it and quickly knelt down to thank her. Then he also signaled to our show girls to say hello to the queen.

"Say hello to the queen, the queen is blessed with gold." Everyone half-crouched down, one knee on the ground, and put their hands on their waists to say goodbye.

"Calm down, don't be polite, this palace is here to guide your sisters in person today, you continue to walk." The queen sat on the steps under the eaves, waved her hand, and a palace maid beside her hurriedly delivered the fruit bowl she was holding in her hand.

We put the bowl on top of our heads again, lined up, and walked slowly around the yard, after a long time, the flowerpot bottom shoes on our feet were very grinding, and the soles of our feet were about to break. But the queen didn't shout to stop, and we didn't dare to stop at will. Gradually, the sun is already hanging high in the sky, and our sweat beads are falling in large pieces, it is already early summer, and the hot sun hits the body with a burning feeling.

The queen finally stood up, "Come, you stand in a row facing the main palace, and the main palace has something to say to you." We listened and took the bowl above our heads, and hurriedly stood in a row facing the queen.

"The palace and the emperor both hate to dress up with showy things, so how to dress up you must have a ...... in your heart" When the queen said this, I heard someone can't help but laugh secretly, too, the queen herself is dressed more than a bride, this queen looks cute like a wayward child.
