Early the next morning, Tong Mansion prepared two carriages, because Tong Yuanxi and Dong Ejiayin belonged to different banners, the two could not enter the palace together, even if they arrived in the palace.

Today was the primary election, and it was quicker than that, and Mrs. Tong and Eshuo's stepwife waited near the palace in a carriage to pick up the children.

So I saw the show girl under the two yellow flags of the first palace, and Mrs. Tong's dowry mother hurriedly ran from the front and whispered: "The slave maid heard that the niece of Lord Aobai's family has been screened out." ”

The step-lady was also surprised: "I heard that the girl in that family is beautiful. ”

Mama said: "I heard that I had a stomach trouble as soon as I entered the palace, and I don't know why." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the carriage on the Guerjia Clan's Mansion hurrying past the side, and the main family over there did not show their faces, so Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Step-Lady naturally did not have to be too polite.

It wasn't until they were far away that the stephusband said softly: "Sister Tong, I heard that Lord Ao is very favored now, and he is almost equal to Sonny Fan Wencheng." ”

Mrs. Tong sighed lightly: "The life of our family is not very easy. ”

The step-lady was embarrassed and said: "It's my mother's house, I can't do it at all, it is said that I am also the royal family, I am not afraid of your jokes, I have grown so big, I have not seen the queen mother." ”

This step-lady is very young, because she is the successor of Eshuo, she can be in her twenties, and when Dolgon was in charge of giving him to Oshuo, who lost his wife, he thought he was younger than now.

I don't know how the stepmother and stepdaughter get along, but these days in the house, Mrs. Tong looks at her coldly, and Jiayin's child has a really good temperament. Gestures are the temperament that everyone should have, and a few words with her are comfortable, where is their family Yuanxi is a monkey.

Zhengbai Qi ran ahead of Zhenglan Banner, and the primary election was very fast, and a girl like Dong Ejiayin entered the second election almost at a glance. She soon left the palace and was led under the carriage by her family, and Zhou Zheng saluted her aunt and stepmother in a dignified manner.

"Come on, kid, you're tired." Mrs. Tong said affectionately, "Go home and have a good rest, there will be a re-election soon, by the way, you should send someone to write to tell you Ama and ask him to prepare to enter Beijing." ”

Mrs. step-wife is young, not as meticulous as Mrs. Tong, and said on the side: "My lord is too busy, otherwise he will personally send his daughter to Beijing, I see that this letter may not come when it is written, I am afraid that you will be busy for a while." ”

Mrs. Tong said with a smile: "If this is chosen, it will be difficult to enter the palace to see you again, father and daughter must always say goodbye." ”

The step-lady was stunned and hurriedly said, "Oh, I didn't expect it." ”

Jia Yin sat quietly on the side, looking at the carriages and mules leaving one after another outside, and occasionally heard crying, it seemed that a girl had lost the election.

Before entering the palace, the show girls gathered together, and occasionally heard some words, some were willing to come, and some were unwilling to come, most of them had never seen the emperor and the queen mother.

Last night, Yuan Xi asked her if she had seen the emperor, and Jia Yin also said that she hadn't, but she not only saw it, but was also bullied by the little emperor. However, it was all when I was a child, and it was also something that Ama Eniang had explained, and she must not tell outsiders.

As for the draft, whether she wants to come or not, whether she wants to be the emperor's harem or not, she has no idea herself, if her mother is still alive, how good it would be.

In a blink of an eye, Eniang passed away for five years, and as soon as she arrived in Jiangnan, she couldn't afford to be sick, and her younger brother Fei Yanggu was only one year old at that time.

Jia Yin promised her mother in front of the sickbed that no matter whether Ama continues in the future or not, she will take good care of her younger brother and not let him be bullied by anyone.

Fortunately, the stepmother is a good person, although she is not as shrewd and capable as the housewife of other families, she is also a good person in the end, and she is good to her and her younger brother. But Jiayin's nurse said that it was because the new lady did not have a child of her own now, and it would be difficult to say in the future.

"Child, what do you want?" Mrs. Tong saw Jiayin's distraction, and asked with a smile, "What is the situation in the palace, do you estimate, can that stupid girl in my family survive the primary?" ”

Jia Yin smiled: "Yuan Xi is so beautiful and cute, she will definitely pass the primary election." ”

At this moment, the show girls who belonged to the Zhenglan Banner with Tong Yuanxi lined up to run for the palace election, and when they were waiting for the grandmothers to lead them into the room to check their bodies, many people who were sitting suddenly stood up, and saw the well-dressed ladies who came from the crowd, and those people all bent down and respectfully called her: "Aunt Su Mala." ”

"It's so lively, you're busy, I'll take a look."

Su Mala brought the little palace maid and brought tea to several busy household officials and chamberlains, saying that it was given by the queen mother, so a group of people bowed in the direction of Cining Palace.

At this moment, Su Mala glanced at the show girls standing here, and inadvertently met Yuan Xi in the crowd.

Of course, Yuan Xi still remembered Su Mala, the gentle palace maid who dried her clothes and rubbed balm on her.

Su Mala also remembered Yuan Xi, such a beautiful girl, she would be remembered everywhere, so she bowed politely, and Yuan Xi was also busy returning the salute.

But it was this small action, after Yuan Xi was led into the door by the grandmother who checked her body, she didn't even take off her clothes, and let her turn around and forget it.

After that, the road was smooth, and when she came out in a circle in a daze, the eunuch who accompanied her told her that after the primary election, she would enter the palace on an auspicious day for the second election.

"I see, thank you father-in-law." At this moment, Yuan Xi was happy.

My brother said that if he likes the emperor, he will come to the draft, but if he is for the sake of his family, he doesn't want her to work so hard. So the girl herself was conflicted, what did she come for?

But the joy at the moment made her understand that she really wanted to come, no matter what, even if she saw the handsome boy who rescued him on the street that day.

Mrs. Tong was already under the carriage, waiting anxiously, and soon saw her daughter running up and down, annoyed that she didn't understand the rules, but then she thought that maybe it was too much.

"Eniang, my little father-in-law asked me to go home and wait for the auspicious day to enter the palace for re-election." Yuan Xi's smile was bright, like the sunshine of midsummer, "Eniang, I didn't disappoint you." ”

Mrs. Tong had mixed feelings in her heart, and when she almost entered the palace in one breath, she suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Okay, go home, you're bouncing around here, and they're chasing you again." Mrs. Tong said, pulling her daughter into the carriage.

In the deep palace, Meng Guqing was sitting in front of the dresser in the dormitory, the table was full of all kinds of jewelry, and she couldn't choose a suitable one for a long time, so that she could wear it to see Fulin.

Naturally, she knew in her heart that she was irritable about the lively things that were going on behind her.

Tana had been gone for a long time and had not returned, and she was even more irritable, and when she was about to lose her temper again, the man finally returned.

"Slaves, slaves and maids watched a few show girls who passed the primary audition...... Don't dare to hide it from the mother, those show girls are really more beautiful than the other. Tana said in a trembling voice, "The face is like the snow of the wax moon, white and beautiful." ”

"Shut up!" Meng Guqing slapped the bracelet in his hand on the dressing table, and the jade suddenly cracked in two, "Do you need to say it, can they still choose the ugly one for the emperor?" ”

Tana trembled with fright, and did not dare to say more, and the room was quiet for a long time before the queen asked her, "When will you be re-elected?" ”

Tana said timidly: "Five days later, there will be a primary selection of show girls for the Eight Banners Han Army tomorrow." ”

Meng Guqing crossed his fingers, counted his days, got up and ordered Tana: "Doctor Xuan is here." ”

"Yes...... Tana was stunned for a moment, didn't ask much, and immediately went to retreat.

The Imperial Physician Xuan in the Kunning Palace naturally wanted to alarm the Cining Palace, Yu'er thought about it after hearing it, and ordered: "Just watch it, don't call the people from the Tai Hospital to come over, the queen should be unhappy when she turns around, everything is stared at, and no one is happy." ”

As she spoke, Su Mala came back from outside, full of joy, and Yu'er said angrily: "How long have you been there, and you dare to read all the girls in the Eight Banners?" ”

"Where, isn't there tomorrow?"

"Are you going back tomorrow?"

Su Mala smiled: "Don't worry, you can see it in five days, it's really like a fairy daughter, and it's likeable." The slave maid didn't feel that there were so many beautiful girls in Shengjing City in the past, so it was difficult for her to raise people from the land of the Central Plains. ”

Yu'er shook her head and told her not to be too public, the little palace maid at the bottom turned around and talked nonsense, she knew that Su Mala doted on Fulin, and naturally she would like his harem very much, so she had to advise: "In the future, I will have a bowl of water to be leveled, and there will be children from Mongolia in the future, don't let Wu Keshan say that I favor one over the other." ”

Su Mala shook his head: "People's hearts are partial, how can they be even, it's better not to force it, if you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, the slave and maid can think about it, whoever is filial to you in the future, the slave and the maid will like whichever one." ”
