The ground paved with fine white stone is spotless, the palace on the 100-step jade steps is shrouded in water vapor, and it looks a little unreal, the floating windows carved from green tiles, and the cornices carved from sandalwood, all show the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

Su Jingxi also stood on the huge square with a large number of show girls, waiting to be summoned.

"The draft of this dynasty is to enrich the harem for the emperor and reproduce the descendants of the clan.

After a while, an older father-in-law came over with a whisk in his hand and said with a solemn face, his slightly oppressive gaze swept down slightly.

No matter what they think in their hearts, all the candidates are gentle and submissive, and they should be in unison.

Su Jingxi's head lowered slightly, and her eyes looked at the skirt of a show girl in front of her, without expressing any dissatisfaction.

The primary selection is the first selection, that is, to check the facial features of all the candidates, down to the hair, ears, forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth, chin, shoulders, etc., which is also the most eliminated.

Needless to say, even a mole on the body will be eliminated directly.

Nearly two-thirds of the number of people will be eliminated, and those who are eliminated in this primary election, even if they are sent home, it will not be a good match.

Being eliminated in the primary election means that there is a certain physical defect.

Stripped naked, stood here, waiting for the inspection, Rao is heart did more construction and preparation, Su Jingxi still felt a trace of humiliation.

From time to time, he was holding a pen and recording something on the paper in his hand, Su Jingxi saw his expression and knew that he had passed the selection.

At this moment, she is a real show girl.

Stuffed a purse into it, Su Jingxi blessed her body slightly, and hurriedly dodged sideways, Su Jingxi didn't care, the people in the palace naturally wouldn't be so eyeless.

was taken by a small palace maid to a small palace on the side, saying that it was a palace, but it was not true, just to let them, the show girls who had passed the first selection, live together and feel the palace life.

After all, this is the second temptation.

Su Jingxi was very indifferent, and entered the house assigned to her, her father was just a waiter from the Hanlin Academy of the fifth grade, and it was not enough to see it in this big capital.

According to her understanding, among these show girls, there are also the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, the daughter of the late eldest princess Shangguan Mei, Yu Xunmei, the daughter of the Zuodu Yushi, who is known as the first beauty in the capital, and An Shuyao, the first talented woman in the capital, and the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo.

No matter who it is, Su Jingxi can't compare, so she lives here, and they live in another place.

There has always been a gap between people.

"Girl, this is your room, if you need anything, call the slave maid, the slave maid is in the next room," the little palace maid who was assigned to her was a little nervous, and said hurriedly, afraid that she would not like this room.

Su Jingxi smiled, "You don't have to be afraid, come here, tell me, what's your name?" ”

"Slave and maid Banlan," Xu Bu walked over, looked up at her quickly, and lowered his head again.

"You're a new palace maid? How old is it? ”

Banlan showed a smile, and obviously relaxed a lot when she heard the words, "The slave was selected some time ago, and she is fourteen this year. ”

"Fourteen? Fourteen is so good, it's the same age as me," Su Jingxi also laughed, with a gentle look on her face.

"The girl looks beautiful, I've never seen a girl so beautiful, like a fairy......"

"Banlan, I'm tired, can you help me get some hot water, I want to wipe it," Su Jingxi interrupted her, rubbed her shoulders and said.

Banlan was full of remorse, and consciously lost her words, "Okay, girl, you wait, I'll go right away." ”

Su Jingxi looked at her back and sighed, she didn't know if it was really unintentional or another temptation?

It shouldn't be the latter, her identity really can't be said to be high, in the eyes of those who are in high positions, it's not enough to see at all, they shouldn't take her in their eyes.

It's just that it's always a good idea to be careful.

With that plate of hot water, after wiping it casually, and using a few mouthfuls of food, Su Jingxi directly took off her shoes and went to bed early.

It would be good if it was at home, the Su family is not a big family, but Su Jingxi has two elder brothers and the only daughter-in-law in the family, and she has been very favored since she was a child.

At the very least, it's okay to take a bath.

The next day, Su Jingxi got up at three o'clock, and in the palace, she was naturally no better than her own home, and she was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

I cleaned myself up by myself, with a clear and elegant double snail bun, with a honey-colored crystal hairpin, and a butterfly daffodil skirt, looking elegant and demure.

If you don't fight, you don't show it, and it's the way to go.

Declined the proposal of several other show girls to visit and make an appointment to enjoy the chrysanthemum, Su Jingxi stayed quietly in her room, maybe too cautious, but she really didn't want to cause any trouble.

After all, she is just an ant now, anyone can step on it, bump into something noble, or bump into something that shouldn't be bumped into, any of these things are not enough for her to lose her life.

As for meeting the emperor, this probability is really small and can't be smaller, Su Jingxi feels that it can be ignored.

"Girl, girl, have you heard?" Banlan ran in and said to Su Jingxi, who was doing embroidery.

Su Jingxi glanced up at her, and the movements in her hands did not stop, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's it, that Ruan girl just met the emperor in Meiyuan, and she was taken away by the emperor directly."

"Oh," she really met her, it seems that even if the probability is small, it doesn't mean that it is impossible.

Banlan was anxious, "Girl, why didn't you react?" You shouldn't ......"

"What should it be? Do you think I should cry or laugh? Su Jingxi smiled and quipped.

Banlan also smiled when she heard this, "Girl, let's do embroidery well, just regret it in my heart." ”

"You girl, you dare to tease me......"

No matter what Su Jingxi thinks in her heart, she doesn't show it on her face, the emperor acts, and naturally it is not the turn of the subordinates to put the beak, unless someone doesn't want to die.

And what she has to do now is to keep her duty, at least until she has the ability, she must do it.

Otherwise, one wrong step, one wrong step.

Early the next morning, I received the news that Ruan Youning was named a beauty and given to live in Haoyue Xuan in Chuxiu Palace.

As soon as the news came out, I don't know how many people would break the veils, cry with anger, and couldn't sleep at night.

But Su Jingxi is very calm, except for learning the rules from her aunt every day, she still chooses to stay in her own house the rest of the time.

Every day, there are still other show girls who follow suit, but the effect is not obvious, not only did they not meet the emperor, but it was rumored that someone collided with Xiang Jieyu and was punished for kneeling for two hours.

And this person is Ruan Meiren, who was only sealed two days ago.

I don't know who was cheaper in the end, many show girls went out, disturbing the tranquility of the emperor and the high-ranking people in the harem, Xiang Jieyu punished people, and others didn't dare to follow suit.

Xiang Jieyu is also worthy of being one of the most favored concubines of the emperor today.

She saw the right time to make a move, and naturally she also saw the right person, Ruan Youning was just the daughter of the servant Siqing, and her official position was not big or small, just enough to deter the people below.

After embroidering a few purses, Su Jingxi calculated the time, and finally got through it.

In the evening, "ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow will be the day of the palace election, and it is also the day that will determine your future future.

Below, Su Jingxi and the other show girls all returned the salute, and they didn't dare to say yes.

I really don't dare, the aunt who can be sent to teach the show girl, the status of the person behind it will definitely not be too low, and a fool will rush up.

"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, please go back, and the rest will no longer learn the rules, slave maid wishes you a bright future."

Su Jingxi returned to her room, "Banlan, this is for you, it can be regarded as a souvenir." ”

In all fairness, she still likes this little girl in the past few days, and it can be regarded as a little comfort when she is bored for so many days.

"Slaves don't dare, slaves ......"

Su Jingxi stuffed the purse into her hand, she didn't dare to give any hairpin jewelry or anything like that, firstly, she didn't bring much with her when she entered the palace this time, and secondly, in order not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

"It's just a little bit of broken silver, it's a little bit of my heart, the purse is embroidered by myself, if you like it, keep it, and if you don't like it, you can dispose of it."

"Girl, slave...... Slave and maid thank you," said Banlan with tears in her eyes and choked up.

Su Jingxi shook her head, people who are too simple can't survive in this deep palace, "You must be more thoughtful in doing things in the future, everything can only be done if you are alive." ”

Banlan knew that she was reminding her vaguely, and her heart was moved, "Don't worry, the slave is only like this in front of the girl, and the slave has several eyes." ”

"The slave and maid wish the girl a successful start tomorrow, and the slave and maid will wait for the girl in the palace."

Su Jingxi smiled, "Is this how you use the flag to win?" ”

Whether there is a heart eye or not is not a verbal matter, people who say that they have a heart eye do not necessarily have heart eyes, and naturally, they do not necessarily have heart eyes.

However, no matter what, her reminder is nothing more, it can be regarded as a complete master-servant relationship these days, after all, after tomorrow, they may not see each other again in this life.

Banlan was a little embarrassed, "The slave maid didn't read the book, she heard what the other sisters said, anyway, the slave maid meant, the girl just knew." ”

Su Jingxi smiled and nodded, after tomorrow, no matter what the situation, if she can't be selected, she can go home.

It's nice to be able to go home.
