Chapter 1 Selection of the Court
Tomorrow is the selection period, and at night, Bao Yuan stroked my sideburns and said with a smile in his ear: "Tomorrow is the period when Rui'er is intimidating and subduing the girls, and when she shows her style, will she have stage fright?" ”
I said to him: "It's Rui'er who shows the world the style of a virtuous concubine, and achieves the beautiful thing of 'taking two Qiao in the southeast and sharing the night of the happy dynasty' for Lang Jun, right?" ”
"Oh, what a big sour taste...... Bao Yuan sneered, turned over and trapped me between his arms, and said: "What's the good of Er Qiao, which is as good as my Rui'er Bogu Tongjin, even the sour words are pure and interesting, hahaha." ”
"Phew, I'm embarrassed."
"Hey, tell me, why am I embarrassed?"
"Anyway, anyway......" Every time I met his dark eyes, my brain would become less bright, my tongue would begin to knot, and the corners of my lips would be full of evil, so that I would not feel a dryness in my throat and swallow my saliva.
"Heh......" Bao Yuan chuckled, becoming more and more hateful: "Rui'er thinks someone is beautiful?" ”
Before the word "bah ......" fell, his lips had sealed my lips firmly, and my brain lost the ability to think in an instant.
This kiss was extremely lingering, and Bao Yuan didn't seem to have the idea of turning this kiss into lust, he hugged me sideways, and sighed: "I'm already satisfied with Rui'er, but as an emperor, there are too many helplessness and last resorts." Tomorrow for others, it may be just a draft, but for me, it is a battle to prevent the harem from being involved in the power struggle of the previous dynasty, Rui'er, you have to help me! ”
I turned around and hugged him, caressed him and comforted: "Meng Lang, don't worry, Rui'er will not disappoint you." "I already know that in addition to being my Rui'er's partner, he is the only person I can rely on in this deep palace to breathe and share my fate.
"Well, Rui'er has never let me down." Bao Yuan muttered.
"Tomorrow, Langjun will let go of his hands and feet to choose, with what kind of beauty he is, he will be selected into the palace to let Rui'er train and train, and ensure that everyone is cute...... It's just that when the time comes, if the beauties trained by Rui'er are pitiful, Lang Jun should not be distressed! Hehe......"
"Hahaha...... You mouthy little goblin, look at how I clean you up......" laughing, the worries in my heart have not been reduced in the slightest, and they are really blocked in my chest for a long time.
Early in the morning, Ming'er brought the red golden phoenix skirt given by Baoyuan, because it was too enchanting and gorgeous, I shook my head and ordered her to change it.
This golden embroidered phoenix is so flamboyant, there is a suspicion of coveting the back position, why should I be the enemy of the harem early......
He wore a light purple gauze dress and a soft silver lily skirt dragging the palace, and wore a bun, and the amethyst string on the oblique hairpin was decorated with tassel silver glyphs, and the face was slightly powdered, and the eyebrows were swept lightly with Shi Dai.
"Sister Yingxue Saixue, this purple is only the only one that my sister can wear this fairy style" Ming'er was amazed, and said again: "It's just that this dress seems to be a little plain, Ming'er thinks that my sister should dress up to attend today, so that all the girls are intimidated by my sister." ”
"If you want to make the palace people obey, it is not by appearance, but by virtue, since ancient times, when can those who serve the monarch with color be good? At present, there is no queen in the palace, and I am the highest among the concubines, and I should set an example everywhere, and I must not encourage this trend. "I said quietly.
"Sister, you are always so self-disciplined, but in this palace, who doesn't watch people put dishes, I'm afraid that my sister will lose the opportunity and will suffer in the future." Ming'er's thoughts, how could I not know, so I had to pat her hand with a smile to show comfort.
As he spoke, Bao Yuan had already lifted the bead curtain and came in, and when he saw me dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, he also moved closer, looked at it for a moment and said: "A single hairpin with a silver grate and tassels is too plain, Ming'er went to prune the purple jade peony." ”
"Isn't that bad? Could it be that Meng Lang wants to watch Rui'er compete with hundreds of young show girls? I glanced at him and complained.
"Good, good, good! How my Rui is the best! He was full of spoiling, took the purple jade peony hairpin into my bun, and praised: "The peony shines on the top, and it shows off my charming and colorful stamen." ”
"Is it pretty?" I smiled.
"It's dazzling."
I gritted my teeth when I heard this, and was about to ridicule him, but when I looked back, I saw Ming'er smiling on the side, so I had to glance at him, took the ear bell and put it on.
"The auspicious time has come. Please ask the emperor and Niangniang to move to Baizilou. Liang Shouzhen sang a promise outside the curtain with a sharp voice.
Bao Yuan took me to Baizilou by dragon.
The Baizilou type system is a pavilion-style palace courtyard, a high-rise building encloses the courtyard, and there are many rooms, which are said to be able to accommodate hundreds of people, so the girls to be drafted are temporarily living in the Baizilou and receiving preliminary palace rule education.
When I arrived in front of the building, I saw a group of palace people and beautiful girls outside the palace, all lined up to greet them, and the mountains shouted long live.
When I peeked at Bao Yuan, he had a pleasant face, and he didn't forget to stretch out his hand to hold my waist, pretending to be intimate.
"Your Majesty!" I was dissatisfied and forced to get out, but he secretly clamped his hands, put them beside him, blew his snort into my neck, hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Today is both watching a play and doing a play, isn't that good?" I glanced at him, so I had to obey and let him carry him into Baizilou.
The selection ceremony was presided over by Tian Jingquan, the palace envoy. The women to be drafted in a group of five were led into the main hall by the inner supervisor and selected for Baoyuan and me.
I thought I could see the purple and red, competing for beauty. But I saw that the show girls were all wearing pink palace skirts, with concentric flower buns, and their clothes and hairstyles were the same, but the silk palace flowers on their hair were not quite the same. Bao Yuan saw that I was surprised, and whispered softly: "Rui'er must not know that the girl to be drafted is not allowed to wear gold and silver hairpin ornaments, right?" ”
I bowed my head slightly, but when I looked closely, I found that the show girls also had their own thoughts on silk flowers, and even the earrings had done enough work, and I sighed in my heart, this person's mind is really ......
The show girl who came to worship in front of her, the ring was fat and thin, and the air was filled with the smell of fat powder.
After ten groups, Bao Yuan slightly pointed out one or two dignified and gentle faces, and his face showed a tired face, with the meaning of leaving the palace.
I was already unhappy in my heart, and I felt even more depressed when I was smoked by those fat powders, and I joked to him in a low voice: "Meng Lang is tired, and I don't know how many flowers and grasses there are behind, waiting for you to be happy and make a decree to keep people!" ”
He squinted, leaned close to my ear, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't you want me to dig out my heart, Qingqing is willing." ”
I snorted softly, covered my lips and said to him: "And wait patiently, I haven't seen Zhang Ye's daughter yet." ”
At this time, I only heard the roll call of the inner supervisor:
Zhang Xianru, the daughter of Zhang Ye, the Chinese scholar, is sixteen years old.
The sister of the school book's sentence is Ke'er, fourteen years old.
……
Bao Yuan and I cheered up and took a closer look, and the five women who entered the hall came one after another, lined up.
Zhang Xianruxing is the first to be in the middle, which is different. But seeing her come forward with everyone to salute, a discordant light flashed from her hair, and when she stared at it, she found that the silk palace flower on her hair was actually made of huge southern pearls and white crystal.
Stunned, the inner prison sang the names of the women in turn, and made them come forward to meet them. The women lowered their heads according to the order, only Zhang Xianru looked directly, and saw that this woman was light, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, although she was not beautiful enough, she was more than charming.
After everyone finished the audience, I said, "Which one is the daughter of Zhang's house?" ”
"The daughter of Zhang Ye, the little girl's middle school scholar, has seen Mrs. Hua Rui, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"I heard that the fairy girl is both talented and beautiful, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Niangniang Miaozan, Xianru still has some experience in chess."
Bao Yuan was indifferent, and when he heard this, he asked with a happy face: "Oh? If you have any experience, let's talk about it and listen to it. ”
"If you are fortunate enough to be not abandoned by the emperor, Xianru is willing to try chess with the emperor in the future." Zhang Xianru smiled skillfully, staring at Baoyuan with a pair of charming eyes.
Bao Yuan seemed to be aware of the inappropriateness of Fang Cai's words and deeds, glanced at me, and said, "Stay, choose a day to listen to the seal." "My heart tingled in an instant, knowing that this immortal Ru would stay no matter what, but the current situation was so annoying, I thought that it was really a layman, but there were still some outstanding appearances, and it was quite a city......
Looking at Bao Yuan again, I saw that he was carefully looking at Zhang Xianru, and he felt that it was not a taste, but he was depressed but saw that there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, and secretly speculated, and followed his gaze to see that it was the thumb-sized Nanzhu in Zhang Xianru's hair.
The heart was clear, and the uneasy and depressed anger was reduced a lot because of the growing disgust in Bao Yuan's eyes.
Looking at Zhang Xianru again, all the people on his side are medium-sized, only that sentence Ke'er, round pink face, round black eyes, round cherry lips, and even the delicate nose is a little round, people can't help but feel a ball of harmony in their hearts, and I raised my voice to keep her.
After this round, Bao Yuan ordered a short rest, and everyone withdrew from the palace, leaving only the two of us in the personal palace.
"Rui'er, are you lacking?" Bao Yuan asked after taking a sip of tea.
I was noncommittal, and suddenly I was annoyed by his words and deeds, and pouted and ignored him.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, nodded my nose and said, "Today you are here to perform the ceremony of the mother of the country, don't play with the temper of a child." ”
was waiting for the interface, and overheard the internal supervisor coming, and Zhaorong Niangniang was selected with the car. Seeing that Jingyi was dressed in a lotus Luo skirt, Su Li was dignified, and she had moved into the hall.
Bao Yuan said with a smile: "I am tired today, and Jingyi will accompany Concubine Ai to choose the rest." I looked at him with dismayed disgust, and the corners of his mouth raised a mysterious chuckle and said, "It's good that my play is here, and the rest is up to the concubine." With that, he immediately drove back to the palace.
At the beginning of another round of selection, I indifferently looked down at the inside and outside of the palace, the inner supervisors, female officials, and show girls, the fish went in and out, the fat powder was fragrant, and the voice of the inner supervisor was gradually harsh, and in a trance, I only felt that the show girls in this hall were all Meng Chang's women, and I was just one of them, and in the future, I would have to fight with this woman in this deep palace every day. When the mechanism is exhausted, it is just to share the emperor's favor for a few days.
In an instant, my chest was full of jealousy and resentment, and I became more and more feverish, and I was restless, and my headache was unbearable.
"Shen Yuefu, the daughter of Shen Qishan in Emei County, is fifteen years old"
"Shen Yuefu see Mrs. Hua Rui and Zhaorong Niangniang." The sound was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, pleasant to the ear.
I took a look patiently, and the woman in front of me was exquisite, with starry eyes like water, and a shy and shy expression between her eyebrows and eyes.
After a closer look, I found that the reason why she was different from other show girls was that she only abandoned the flowers at that end, and only buried three or four light pink peach blossoms in her hair, and what was more interesting was that her earrings were actually a peach blossom with a silver thread......
My heart shook and I struggled whether to go or stay. Speaking from my heart, I love her beautiful appearance, but if such a woman is placed by Baoyuan's side......
Jing Yi seemed to see some clues, and whispered in her ear: "This woman has the posture of seducing the lord, I am afraid she can't stay." ”
I didn't feel at ease when I heard this, and replied to her lightly: "My sister is in charge." ”
Jingyi glanced at Tian Jingquan, and Tian Jingquan said sharply: "Go!" ”
Hearing this, the woman suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Please be gracious to the mother and leave the courtier!" Ask the mother to keep the courtier! Even if she is a slave and a maid, Yuefu is willing. ”
Looking at her anxious appearance, I was disgusted, and I only said coldly to Tian Jingquan: "Announce the next group." ”
"! begged the mother to be gracious and kept the courtier. She came to her knees and cried out.
Seeing this, Tian Jingquan stepped forward and scolded: "Presumptuous! Shall you be allowed to make a noise and drag down on the top of the great hall? ”
Before she could think about it, the woman showed a look of panic and fainted.
I relented and got up to visit her. Tian Jingquan bowed down and said: "This kind of thing often happens, it is better for the mother to rest first and wait for the old slave to deal with it." ”
After a while, two little eunuchs came in and carried the woman out, I saw that her face was pale and full of tears, and I couldn't bear it and was afraid that they would dispose of the woman indiscriminately, so I got up and said Jingyi: "It's really tiring to sit for half a day, and the selection is still bothering my sister, and my sister will go back to the palace first."
Jingyi wanted to get up to see her off, so I raised my hand and asked her to sit down and continue the selection for me.
Because I remembered that the woman was hanging, I went out of Baizilou, so I asked the internal supervisor to help her into my chariot and send her to the Tai Hospital for treatment.
In the Tai Hospital, after Ling Xuan administered the needle, the woman woke up slowly, saw me on the side, turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "Niang Niang is gracious!" ! ”
I sighed and said, "Do you know that as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and since then it is separated from flesh and blood, are you willing to give up your mother and father?" ”
"Yuefu's life is hard, and there is no home outside the palace for a long time." She choked up and said, then sobbed again, and then sobbed: "Niangniang Rongyu, Yuefu is the daughter of a concubine, her mother died early, and she has always been tolerated by the eldest mother, and now she has been sent to the palace...... When Yuefu was in the people, she often heard that the emperor and Mrs. Hua Rui were the most compassionate. also begged Niangniang for mercy, and left Yuefu to serve Niangniang in the palace. Empress! ”
She cried there so much, and I listened here with compassion in my heart, "You are the daughter of the county prince, and there is no reason to keep you as a slave." Have you also learned some poetry, books, rituals and music on weekdays? ”
"The heart is still the first face, and it is even decorated. Once the surface is not decorated, it will be dirty; Once the heart does not think of good, then evil enters it. Xianzhi decorates his face, but does not cultivate his heart. The husband's face is not decorated, and the fool is called ugly; If the heart is not cultivated, the sage calls it evil. The fool can call it ugly, and the sage call it evil, how can it be tolerated? Therefore, according to the test face, then think about the cleanliness of the heart, Fu fat is the sum of the heart, add powder to think about the freshness of the heart, Zefa is to think about the smoothness of the heart, with the ctenophor is to think about the reason of the heart, the bun is to think about the heart of the right, and the sideburns are to think about the whole of the heart. The courtiers have studied the "Women's Training" since they were children, and they are willing to listen to the teachings of the mother. Listening to her finish Cai Yong's "Women's Training" in one go, I was half surprised and half delighted. Being able to study the "Women's Training" and not talk about virtue, there should be kindness, and seeing her with rain and flowers, she made the court bureau stay.
After leaving the Tai Hospital, I unconsciously laughed at myself in my heart, and in just a few years, these ancients were assimilated, and I actually left a love rival because of a "Women's Training".
