Chapter 857: Pulling the Red Line

When she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, she was already less than a third of the remaining show girls, in the huge hall, Concubine Xiao was sitting in the middle, looking at Xuanyue with a smile, all the show girls were busy saluting Xuanyue, Xuanyue raised her hand to exempt them, and saluted Concubine Xiao: "I'm not feeling well, so the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Concubine Xiao nodded, motioned for Xuanyue to get up, and said with a smile: "Most of the show girls have been screened, you can take a look at these show girls here!" ”

Xuanyue looked at it, and the show girls who were waiting with their heads down and dressed up were all like flowers, young and beautiful.

Xuanyue took off her coat, sat down next to Concubine Xiao, and said, "The Queen Mother is naturally good, I will take a look at their life experiences and test their personalities." ”

Although so many people have been screened out by Concubine Xiao, and there are a lot of people left, Xuanyue said this just to give Concubine Xiao a face.

Concubine Xiao nodded, and motioned to the palace maid beside her to hold the roster for Xuanyue to look at.

Xuanyue took the roster, looked at these people densely written on it, and had some plans in her heart: "Most of the life experiences are good......

Most of these are former neutrals and royalists, and there are also some daughters of wealthy merchants, although their status is not high, but they also have relatives or uncles who are officials.

Meijing took the clothes to Xuanyue, Cuiyun served tea to Xuanyue, and when Xuanyue took the teacup and began to drink, Cuiyun suddenly leaned into Concubine Xiao's ear and whispered.

Concubine Xiao's face was pleasantly surprised, and she suddenly took Xuanyue's hand and asked, "Queen, are you happy?" ”

Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Cuiyun.

Cuiyun bowed slightly.

It seems that this is what Xing Dark has told Cuiyun otherwise.

Xuanyue was moved in her heart and nodded to Concubine Xiao: "I just found out, Cuiyun, this girl is getting bolder and bolder!" ”

Concubine Xiao said: "This is the emperor who asked Cuiyun to report the good news to the mourning family, such a big happy event, how can it be considered too much." ”

Concubine Xiao looked very happy.

Xuanyue could see that Concubine Xiao was really happy for Xuanyue.

The faces of the show girls below were different, and they didn't know who got up, and they all said hello to Xuanyue.

Xuanyue's sharp eyes found that the first person to take the lead in saluting and congratulating her was a cousin of Cao Haotian, who was also a famous beauty in the capital.

Xuanyue saw that the woman was beautiful, her manners were generous, and her eyebrows were also very kind, so she smiled and said to Concubine Xiao: "Queen Mother, what do you think of the girl of the Cao family?" ”

Concubine Xiao glanced at it and nodded hurriedly: "I also think this girl is good." ”

Xuanyue said with a smile: "Zhengnan has reached the age of getting married, and there is no one around to take care of him...... If someone helps him manage the inner house, his future career will be even better! ”

Although Concubine Xiao didn't quite understand why Xuanyue advocated the draft, she was so smart that she naturally knew that there must be something inside about this draft.

Hearing Xuanyue say this, she vaguely knew something in her heart, and she also knew that Xuanyue was interested in finding a good partner for Xiao Zhengnan, so she said, "Then thank you to the queen." ”

Xuanyue smiled, and then remembered that these show girls were still bending down to salute, and hurriedly said, "Get up quickly!" ”

"Humph!"

One of the show girls snorted softly, and some of them had a look of jealousy and disdain in their eyes.

Xuanyue remained silent, silently wrote down the appearance and family history of these people, carefully flipped through the roster in her hand, ticked and drawn, and removed more than ten show girls.

Then, Xuanyue asked these show girls one by one to come forward, and asked these show girls a few of the same questions one by one, such as what books they had read, what martial arts they had practiced, what they usually did at home, who else was in the family, and so on.

In this way, more than ten show girls were sketched out, and after counting, counting the number of people, there were less than fifteen left!

Since Xing Dark's accession to the throne, there are only two queens and one concubine, except for Xuanyue, who have all died, and there has never been such an event as a draft ceremony, which is the first time.

Those show girls who want to tie up and show loyalty, or have to participate because of the emperor's face, all came.

In addition, there has been no draft for many years, and the number of these self-positioned show girls has increased when they reach their age, so there are relatively more people participating this time.

was screened by Concubine Xiao by two-thirds, Xuanyue screened more than half, and the rest is the top, which looks the best on the surface.

Xuanyue asked Cuiyun to read out all the fifteen people who passed, and those who were selected naturally smiled, and those who were not selected looked discouraged one by one.

Only the girl from the Cao family was calm and relieved.

Xuanyue thought, this woman doesn't like harem life, but she was not forced into the palace, such a woman has a good personality.

She gently beckoned to the Cao family woman in the group of women who were eliminated: "Come here!" ”

The woman of the Cao family was startled, but she hurriedly walked in front of Xuanyue and saluted.

"What's your name?" Xuanyue asked.

The woman of the Cao family blinked her eyes, looked at Xuanyue with some curiosity, and said, "The little girl's name is Cao Ruolan, and I often hear Brother Haotian mention you!" ”

Xuanyue bowed her head and said, "Hmm! I heard you say just now, you like to practice swords, and the Queen Mother has a younger brother named Xiao Zhengnan, whose official position is not small, and he is quite valued by the emperor. The Queen Mother is very bored in the palace, you stay and stay for a few days to accompany the Queen Mother, and when Xiao Zhengnan enters the palace, you can also discuss it! ”

With such an obvious red line, how could Cao Ruolan not hear it?

In a look of envy and jealousy, she lowered her face with a red face, and said generously: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen!" ”

Xuanyue said: "Take Miss Cao to Hongmei Pavilion first, and then take the other unsuccessful girls out!" ”

After turning over the green, the remaining fifteen people were even more nervous.

"You wait a little longer, the palace and the queen mother can't be the master, so go and ask the emperor to come over, if you close the emperor's eyes, you will stay in this palace in the future!"

Xuanyue said these sour words, her teeth were about to sour, and those show girls agreed one by one.

"Sit down and rest for a while!" Concubine Xiao instructed, and some palace maids moved chairs for the show girls to sit down and rest, and served tea and pastries!

Concubine Xiao chatted with Xuanyue, Concubine Xiao was very concerned about Xuanyue's pregnancy, and told her to pay attention to her body and not to work too hard, and Xuanyue responded one by one.

Compared with the two talking happily, these show girls below are a little uncomfortable.

The wait is long.

And Xing Dark, the emperor, was even more difficult to wait for than others, and in the more than half an hour that he was late, these show girls were nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Excuse me!"

Xing Dark walked to Xuanyue's side before saying goodbye to the show girls who were saluting.

The handsome appearance of the star dark god attracted the show girls to collide, and secretly worked hard, putting on what they thought was the most proud and perfect smile and looking up at the star shyly.

Xing didn't squint, walked directly to Xuanyue's side, and sat down next to Xuanyue like Concubine Xiao, completely ignoring the few "flattering eyes" below.

The girls were all sad and heartbroken.

If it weren't for the fact that Xing Di was masculine and mighty, and he gave birth to a prince, and he had just gotten the news that the queen was pregnant, they couldn't help but wonder if Xing Di was "not good" in some way and was not interested in women.

"You've just been pregnant, and you're tired after a long day's work?" Xing Dian sat next to Xuanyue, looked at Xuanyue with a concerned expression and asked.
