Yu'er had a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face, but the coolness at the bottom of her eyes was incompatible with this smile. She withdrew her little hand from the emperor's hand with a "sigh", looked at the sky and said, "Don't bother the emperor, the concubines can go back by themselves!" After speaking, he didn't care about Chu Sheng's stunned expression, turned around and walked out.

Along the way, Jinxin knew that Yu'er was in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but say after a long groan: "Niangniang, since ancient times, men have loved beauty, and the emperor is just an ordinary person!" ”

Yu'er knew what she meant, and also felt that her displeasure was ridiculous, so she nodded and replied, "I understand, don't worry!" ”

On the tenth day of October in the twelfth year of Yuanhe, the weather was already slightly cool. After the primary selection and re-selection, the draft has reached the most critical juncture, the palace selection!

Still remembering her nervous and youthful appearance when she was selected for the palace, Yu'er shook her head with a light smile, and asked Jinxin, who had just stepped into the Splendid Palace, "What's going on ahead?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the palace selection has just begun, and now the show girls from various families have entered the Yiyuan Palace." Qiushui Station directed the master to return.

Yu'er nodded, "I don't know which one can fly on that branch this time!" ”

Seeing the master's face, Jinxin hurriedly replied with a smiling face: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, no matter who she is, she just entered the palace, and she can't go past you!" Seeing that Yu'er didn't answer, she continued: "Besides, there is the queen's mother, and they won't be allowed to come nonsense!" ”

Yu'er seemed to think of something, raised her head and changed her expression and asked, "I heard that Concubine Xian's mother also sent one in, have you seen it?" ”

Jinxin frowned and thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "I heard that there is such a person, and I didn't see it clearly when I looked at it from afar, but I didn't see anything particularly outstanding!" ”

"Alright, I got it! These things don't have to worry about the palace, there is always the queen mother, and the lady concubine is in front! As she spoke, Yu'er turned around and went into the inner room, picked up the book and read it carefully.

It was about time to take a nap, and the selection of the Yiyuan Hall was finally over. Chu Sheng selected a total of five women to enter the palace, namely Li Xiyue's cousin Li Ziyan, Sun Yuanyuan, the granddaughter of Lord Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Xiaoruan, the daughter of Lord Wu, a cabinet scholar, Lin Yan, the daughter of Lord Lin, the governor of Henan, and Deng Chuling, the sister of Lord Deng, the commander of the Nine Gates, who was in charge of the garrison of the imperial city.

Among them, the highest one is Sun Yuanyuan, who was crowned a beauty and gave the east side hall of Ronghe Palace. Then there was Li Ziyan, who was given the title to live in the east side hall of Yingyue Palace. The other three were all conferred the title of beloved, and lived in the east and west side halls of Yongfu Palace and the east side hall of the Splendid Palace that had just been vacated. Yu'er listened to Jinxin's eloquent words, and was stunned in her heart, the people who were selected this time were all women who were born so well. I'm afraid that the years in the palace will be even harder in the future!

In this way, there will be one more sister in the Splendid Palace in the near future, Yu'er is a little upset when she thinks about it, if she is not good with her, she will have to give birth to something. It's just that whether you want to or not, it's not something you can change. That's it! ~ I have to take one step at a time!

In the Yingyue Palace, Li Xiyue stroked her lower abdomen and was also listening to Xian Ping talk about today's draft. Sure enough, the emperor still chose his sister in, even if she was pregnant, the queen mother still insisted on letting her sister enter the palace, thinking of this, she closed her eyes painfully.

Why do you have to treat yourself like this, I have worked hard for many years and endured for many years, and now that I have a child, why do I want her to share the favor! But no matter what, she won't let others hurt herself, hurt her children. Thinking like this, she opened her eyes again and slowly sat up straight, and instructed Xian Ping: "Sister is happy today, you go and find the tourmaline bracelet of this palace, and ask someone to send it home to give it to my sister, which is also a little bit of my sister's heart in this palace!" ”

Xianping looked at the master's face and didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly agreed and went to the inner room.

A month's days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the tenth day of November in the twelfth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, when winter had quietly come, the new palace concubines finally entered the palace. It was Deng Chuling, Deng Liangren, who was divided into the east side hall of the Splendid Palace.

When Deng Liangren arrived, Yu'er had just returned from the queen's palace, and someone came to report after changing her clothes, and Deng Liangren asked to see her. She now lives in the Splendid Palace, and it stands to reason that she should come to see her, Yu'er nodded hurriedly and asked people to pass her in.

Yu'er sat on the throne in the main hall of the Splendid Palace, and there was a pretty Deng Liangren kneeling on the ground. After ordering her to get up and sit down, Yu'er had a chance to take a good look at her face. Although it is very delicate, it is not beautiful, the skin is fair, exuding a youthful and healthy glow, and a pair of big eyes are looking at themselves with a smart smile at the moment.

She is neither humble nor arrogant, Yu'er thought to herself!

Yu'er asked Jinxin to send the congratulatory gift she had prepared earlier to her room, and she hurriedly stood up again to thank her. Yu'er waved her hand to sit down, "You just entered the palace today, and as a sister in this palace, you naturally want to give some small gifts to celebrate, in the future, we will all serve the emperor together, and you don't have to be so polite!" ”

Deng Liangren pursed his lips and smiled, delicate and lovely, his young and full face was full of gratitude, "I have long heard that Niangniang is virtuous and virtuous, and she is the most clear and easy-going in this palace, and the concubine was overjoyed when she first knew that she was assigned to the Niangniang Palace, and I hope that Niangniang will not be rude and vulgar in the future!" ”

Yu'er also smiled lightly, helped the gorgeous pearl cui on her head, and replied lightly: "My sister is smart and smart, where do you need someone to mention it!" In the future, I will see you every day, and you don't have to be so born as a mother and concubine, if Deng Liangren doesn't dislike it, call me a sister! ”

When Deng Liangren heard Yu'er say this, his already watery eyes widened, and he replied in surprise: "My sister is very loving, my sister is grateful, my father originally said that I was used to being wild and worried that I would break out of chaos when I entered the palace, but now I can have my sister to take care of my sister and I am finally not so afraid!" ”

Yu'er nodded and replied: "Okay, you must be tired when you just entered the palace today, there are Sumire people living in the west side hall, you can rest early when you go to see it!" ”

Deng Liangren hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully on his knees: "Yes!" My sister quits first! ”

After Deng Liangren left, Yu'er turned her head to Jinxin and asked, "Have all the congratulatory gifts from the new little master been sent?" ”

Jinxin nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I have already ordered someone to send it!" ”

When she got up early to change clothes on the second day, Qiu Shui asked while choosing clothes for her: "Niangniang, the young masters who have just entered the palace today want to visit the ladies of the palace, do you want to dress more gorgeously?" ”

Yu'er remembered Chu Sheng's eyes when she looked at Princess Jiuye in gorgeous clothes that day, and she felt a little uncomfortable, and said angrily: "No need, just come as usual." ”

All morning, the atmosphere was a little solemn, the autumn water was unknown, so I could only wait carefully, and when it was time to coil the hair, it was difficult again. The little master is the mother of the main seat in the end, if she dresses too lightly, she is afraid of making jokes, and it can be seen that the master's face does not dare to ask more. Seeing her hesitation, Yu'er knew what she was thinking, and sighed: "Well, since the clothes are plain and elegant, the hairstyle should be gorgeous, and don't let people underestimate it!" ”

Qiushui nodded happily and agreed, "The slave knows!" ”

Suddenly, Yu'er looked at herself in the mirror, the person's sideburns in the mirror were fluffy and the bun was smooth, and the end of the bun was a double lock of hair, which was the peony head that became popular from the south of the Yangtze River. A red gold hollow lotus pattern is inserted in the middle, and the pigeon blood on the step is placed just between the foreheads, and the gentle swaying as Yu'er looks left and right really adds three points of aura to her. On both sides, there are four pairs of red golden lotus pattern flowers that are also carved symmetrically.

Because of the queen's love, it is inevitable that Yu'er has never liked to use red gold jewelry. It's rare to use it once today, so I nodded and got up and walked out. Dressed in a lotus pink palace dress, covered with plain yarn, the red treasure on his forehead swayed when he walked, and he looked back and looked forward to it!

Jinxin helped her to go out as soon as she lifted the curtain, and was suffocated by a gust of cold wind, so she hurriedly went back and took a cloak out and tied it carefully for Yu'er. The white feathers around the neck were blown by the wind, and Yu'er only felt that the neck was slightly itchy as if it was being teased with a small hand, so she unconsciously turned her neck.

Just two steps away, Yu'er caught a glimpse of Yan Su looking at herself in the corner with a sneer, although this Yan Su is called the head of the Splendid Palace, he is not allowed to reuse it outside, and he must be ridiculed, in fact, although he looks like a traitor and unpleasant, in fact, it is quite satisfactory to do things, Yu'er saw that he was cautious and praying at the moment, his heart softened for a while, and he stopped and commanded: "Gonggong Yan, you go to Fengyang Palace with the palace today!" When Yan Su heard Yu'er say this, he smiled happily and bowed forward, "The slave obeys the order!" And he went.

On the sedan chair, Yu'er closed her eyes and felt the cold wind blowing on her face in winter, although it was not biting, but in the end it was still cool. Suddenly, there was a soft call from behind her, "Sister~", Yu'er opened her eyes and looked back, it was not enough for many days, and she hurriedly ordered the person carrying the sedan chair to stop.

When Su'er approached, Yu'er glanced at her and said, "What are you busy with these days?" I don't see you anymore, I went to your palace yesterday to see you Qiu Ju said that you went to the queen, and I ran away in vain! ”

"Zuo is just doing some trivial things for the queen!" Su'er turned her head to look at her sister and replied without being salty or light.

Yu'er nodded, seeing that she didn't want to say more, she also replied: "The queen values you!" ”

The smile on Su'er's face is still the same, but the coldness in her eyes is no different from the cold wind in this winter morning, "The queen mother is generous, naturally she will not treat us harshly!" ”

After that, the two went to Fengyang Palace together, speechless all the way.

When the two arrived, the new palace concubines had already stood in two columns in the main hall of Fengyang Palace, and when they heard someone coming in, most of them still kept their heads down and didn't dare to look sideways! Yu'er sat down in her seat, but when she looked up, she saw a woman standing at the head of the left column wearing a pale pink palace dress and a rather colorful dress quietly looking at herself. Yu'er couldn't help frowning slightly, so bold, the palace has always been respectful and orderly, and it is disrespectful to look at a lady who is higher than herself. Seeing this, Jinxin hurriedly bent down and whispered in Yu'er's ear: "That's the Sun beauty of the family of Lord Sun, the official book!" Yu'er nodded slightly, although she was unhappy, it was not worth being angry about such a trivial matter, so she turned her head and stopped looking at her.

After a while, the queen slowly walked out holding the hand of the moon, and it was still the phoenix that was supreme honor in the sky. Everyone in the hall stood up and shouted: "Say hello to the queen, and wish the mother a thousand blessings!" ”

The queen sat down on the throne, with a gentle and dignified smile, and waved her hand to let everyone sit down. Then the new palace concubines bowed three times and bowed nine times to the queen, and then paid homage one by one according to their positions. When it was Yu'er's turn, the five of them bowed their heads and shouted: "The concubine sees Yugui Concubine Niangniang, I wish Niangniang a long life!" Yu'er cleared her throat and replied lightly: "Get up!" After the five of them got up, they continued: "The palace has always been humble and orderly, the queen is lenient, don't forget the rules." In the future, I will serve the emperor and the mother well! Don't do something for no reason! As he spoke, his eyes stopped meaningfully on Sun Yuanyuan's face,

"Yes! Remember the teachings of the Jade Concubine! Before the five of them finished speaking, they suddenly heard Wan Xiuyi sneer, and said to Yu'er: "The sisters have just entered the palace, don't scare them with such a posture!" Yu'er doesn't look at her either, she has never had anything to do with this Wan Xiuyi, but she prefers to go against herself, Zuo is just a bit of stubbornness in words, and Yu'er doesn't bother to argue with her, so she lowers her identity in vain. Wan Xiuyi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when she saw Yu'er ignoring her, and she couldn't get off the stage with a sneer. I hate it even more in my heart, see how long you can be proud!

After visiting the concubines one by one, the queen was about to get up and lead everyone to Ningshou Palace to meet the queen mother, but she saw the aunt next to the queen mother to pass the word, the queen mother was unwell, and today's visit was exempt! The crowd knelt down again to receive the order of thanksgiving.

When Yu'er got out of the gate of Fengyang Palace, Jinxin approved the cloak for her, and Yan Su hurriedly stepped forward to help Yu'er get on the sedan chair. Yu'er waved her hand, "It's still early, let's go back!" ”

"Yes!" Yan Su promised and waved his hand to let the little eunuchs carry the sedan chair back to the palace first.
