The emperor was reviewing the recital, and he was very busy. At this time, I only heard the eunuch who was waiting in front of the emperor whispered: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here, do you see it or not?" ”

"Let her in." Xianzong said majestically. The concubine Niangniang came to meet at this moment, and the emperor didn't have to think about it to know that it must be for the draft.

"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." The concubine Niangniang said as she looked at the emperor with beautiful eyes.

"It's nothing important, it's just to see the emperor's daily affairs, and I hope the emperor will take care of the dragon's body." The concubine said. She didn't say a word about the afternoon draft.

"I still have a lot of twists and turns to criticize, if there is nothing to do, please go back. I'll see you later. The emperor said with a smile. When the concubine heard the emperor say this, she didn't say anything more. Hurriedly got up.

"Then the concubine will not disturb the emperor, and the concubine will retire." After speaking, the concubine Niangniang slowly withdrew. Speaking of this noble concubine Niangniang Guo, she is also from a famous family and has a prominent identity.

Born in a Jiangmen family, she is the granddaughter of the famous general Guo Ziyi. His father is Guo Nuan, and his mother is Princess Shengping. Because of her noble mother's status, coupled with the fact that her father and grandfather both contributed to the royal family, Guo Nianyun, the noble concubine, was deeply favored by Xianzong.

In the afternoon, these draft women were brought into the palace, standing in a row outside the Hanyuan Palace, for the emperor to choose, these show girls are over thirteen years old, under twenty years old, dignified appearance, beautiful young women.

The women standing at the moment can only meet the emperor after being selected. Under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, they stood neatly according to their age.

The first to stand is the relatives of the concubine in the palace, followed by the previous selection of the sign, this time to the second election, and the last to stand is the new selection of the show girl.

Xianzong Li Chun sat in the middle of the main hall, looking at the beauties below who were like flowers and jade, and dazzlingly choosing the woman he wanted.

At the beginning, the eunuch read out the roster over and over again, and Tang Xianzong Li Chun frowned critically. At this time, the third woman standing on the right side of the front row made Xianzong's eyes light up, and after listening to the eunuch's reading, he knew that the woman standing was called Wei Linglong, and she was the daughter of Wei Guanzhi, the superintendent of the imperial history. I saw that the woman in front of him was dignified and beautiful, which made him like it indescribably.

"The woman in the scarlet dress, lift up her head and let me see." The emperor said majestically. Wei Linglong was overjoyed when she heard that the person the emperor said was herself, and she looked up dignifiedly.

"Inner Chamberlain, write down her name and keep it." The emperor said happily.

After several rows of screening, the last ones to be retained were Wei Linglong, Du Nishang, Xu Yingxue, Cui Jingyao, as well as Ji Hanyan and Liu Qingwu, who were selected from the people, and they were respectively canonized by Xianzong as a five-grade talent and an eight-grade girl.

As soon as the draft ended, these selected show girls were summoned by a eunuch to give a lecture.

"Everyone here, our family also knows that you are all the five-grade talents just retained by the emperor, as well as the eight-grade women, the palace has its own palace rules, and after today's body re-screening, you can officially enter the palace. Next, you will have to learn the classics and court etiquette of the women, and become familiar with all kinds of court dances. ”

As he spoke, the eunuch asked several little eunuchs to measure the posture of several show girls with a soft ruler, and during this period, the treatment of these show girls was no different from that of ordinary palace maids.

Kenjong's middle palace has been empty. After a long time, the concubine Niangniang Guo gave birth to three sons for Xianzong. The current harem belongs to the noble concubine Niangniang, and under the guidance of the eunuch, the selected show girls went to see the concubine Niangniang Guo together. At this time, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian were all at the concubine's place.

"Guifei Niangniang, talented women have been kneeling outside for a long time." Concubine De said.

"Alright, let them in." The concubine said.

After hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly preached loudly: "Announce the audience of the royal wives." ”

"Kneel"

"The concubine knocks on the mother." Hearing all the talented people and girls talking in unison, the eyes of the concubine swept over the kneeling women. Slowly walked past them.

"Excuse me"

"Xie Niangniang"

"Presumably Gonggong Chen has already told you, when you enter the palace, you must strictly abide by the rules of the harem, know the rules, know the etiquette, and show off your wisdom in order to stay here. In fact, entering the palace is sometimes a big gamble, and the loser will not have a chance with the king for the rest of his life. If you don't do it, you will grow old with the rank and identity of the first time you enter the palace, and you will be lucky to be lucky. After speaking, the concubine Guo glanced at the kneeling women.

With a majestic face, he continued: "However, from the eight-rank picking girl to the first-grade noble, ladylike, virtuous, and virtuous concubine, how far you can go, and whether you can one day be among them, depends on your creation." I hope you will be diligent and strive for the top. I'm a little tired today, so let's all go down. ”

"The concubine obeys the teachings of the mother, and the concubine retires." The kneeling women said in unison, and then turned to leave one by one.

Next, these selected show girls began to train in the palace. We must study non-stop every day and strive to serve the emperor as soon as possible.

And at this moment, in Zhang's mansion, Qin Liusu has nothing to do, embroidering female red while chatting with Xiaoqing. Recently, Qin Liusu has felt more and more that Xiaoqing is in a trance, always absent-minded, and looks preoccupied.

At first, Qin Liusu didn't have too many suspicions, and one afternoon, Qin Liusu, who had just woken up from a nap, got up and wanted to find Xiaoqing to go outside with him, but he couldn't find the entire courtyard, so Qin Liusu decided to go out alone.

It's almost May, and the weather outside makes Qin Liusu feel so comfortable, and she looks even more charming and moving when she wakes up, a little lazy. Walking on the green grass, and the rockery forest behind him and the flowers blooming in the garden, they reflect each other, and Qin Liusu is as fresh and bright as the fairy in the painting.

Unconsciously Qin Liusu actually walked near the young master's study, and when she was hesitating whether to go in and find some books to read, she suddenly felt that today's study was a little different, the door of the third young master's study was open on weekdays, because the study was in the corner of the back garden, although it was only an angle, but the interior was extremely spacious, and there was everything inside.

When the young master is tired of reading and writing on weekdays, he will take a nap in the side room of the study, and today's side room is no exception, the third young master Zhang Sizong is indeed resting, but there is another woman lying next to him, it is none other than his maid Xiaoqing. And for all this, Qin Liusu outside the study didn't know.

Qin Liusu gently pushed open the door of the study, and finally found the book he wanted to read on the shelf. She thought that the third young master must be asleep, so she sat there and watched it fascinated while leisurely flipping through it.

"Hurry up, you should go, or Liusu will wake up and won't find you, and he will be in a hurry." The third young master, Zhang Sizong, urged.

"Young master, the slave doesn't want to leave you so soon, let me stay a little longer, okay?" Xiaoqing pleaded humbly.

"Okay, stay as long as you want, I'm going to read a book." After the third young master finished speaking, he got up and sorted out his clothes without any nostalgia. Walk towards the desk.

As soon as I walked out of the side room, I saw Qin Liusu, who was sitting there reading a book and was fascinated, only to see the beautiful woman in front of me sometimes with beautiful eyes, sometimes smiling coquettishly, and her smile. All of them affected Zhang Sizong's mind.

Zhang Sizong was afraid that Xiaoqing, who was asleep in the side room, would wake up and walk out, and would be bumped into by Qin Liusu, so he hurriedly took Qin Liusu's hand and walked out of the study. When I went out, I didn't forget to lock the door of the study. At this moment, the third young master Zhang Sizong just wanted to leave this study quickly. The farther away the better.

"Liusu, let's go back to the courtyard first, and then change your clothes and I'll take you outside for a walk." The third young master, Zhang Sizong, looked at Qin Liusu as he spoke.

"Okay." In the face of the whim of the third young master Zhang Sizong, Qin Liusu rarely replied, even she didn't know, in the past, Qin Liusu always gritted his teeth with hatred for the third young master Zhang Sizong whenever he thought of Xiaoyu's death. But now her attitude towards the third young master has changed.

Since he has been forced to become the concubine of the third young master Zhang Sizong, it is better to deal with it with peace of mind now. Qin Liusu thought in his heart. Then he entered the bedroom and began to change his clothes, and the young master outside the bedroom seemed to be whispering something to the housekeeper.

"You will open the door of the study in a while, let Xiaoqing come out and stay in the courtyard, and tell her by the way, if Miss Qin comes back and asks where she has been in the afternoon, let her say that she has gone to Madame to find Xiao Pian." The third young master whispered to the butler.

Qin Liusu in the room walked out of the room after changing his clothes and the housekeeper just left, as for what he and the young master said, Qin Liusu didn't hear it at all, and he wasn't interested in these Qin Liusu at all.

This time he went to the street with the third young master, Qin Liusu dressed as a man, in order to go out conveniently, last time he specifically begged the third young master to let the housekeeper help her buy men's clothes in the market. At this moment, Qin Liusu, who was wearing men's clothes, instantly turned into a handsome son.

Qin Liusu and Zhang Sizong, the third young master of the Zhang family, walked side by side on the lively and bustling Chang'an Street, one was majestic and high, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes; A suave and elegant face like a crown of jade.

When the two walked on the street, passers-by would look over, which caused some ladies in Chang'an City to look sideways from time to time. Qin Liusu and the Third Young Master walked around the streets for a long time.

"Third Young Master, I'm hungry." Zhang Sizong looked back at Qin Liusu, who was dressed as a man, and she said with a playful smile. It looks very cute.

"Okay, I'm going to take you to eat, what a grinding goblin." After Zhang Sizong finished speaking, he raised his hand and scratched the bridge of Qin Liusu's nose dotingly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

After eating, the third young master Zhang Sizong bought Qin Liusu a lot of jewelry, as well as a lot of things she liked to eat, which made Qin Liusu's little heart beat a little irregularly.

But when Qin Liusu saw that Zhang Sizong could clearly know what she liked to eat, he was still a little surprised, and there was a trace of warmth in a certain place in his heart.

From the third young master Zhang Sizong accepting her as a concubine to the present, he has dealt with her well, if only he could continue like this in the future, this idea slowly sprouted in Qin Liusu's heart.

But people are like this sometimes, when you give up the initial bottom line and accept something, you will inevitably lose something, and sometimes even what you give and what you get is not necessarily proportional.

The baby in the womb of Wang Bilian, the third young grandmother of Zhangfu, has been six months now, with the protection of Zhangfu's wife Yu Qingwan and the care of the maid Xiaolian and Dongmei, it must be possible to give birth to this child smoothly, Qin Liusu occasionally thinks of these when he has nothing to do.

In Qin Liusu's heart, she kindly looked forward to Wang Bilian giving birth to a child safely and smoothly, after all, in a big family like Zhangfu, it is also very common for ladies and young grandmothers to compete for favor for status.

That time, Qin Liusu and the young master went out of the house until late, and when they came back, Xiaoqing had a straight face, Qin Liusu asked Xiaoqing casually, but Xiaoqing looked like she was angry, so she didn't ask more.

Now thinking of Xiaoqing's expression at that time, Qin Liusu still can't help but worry, from being accepted as a concubine to now, she has never treated Xiaoqing as a maid, just like Xiaoqing has never treated her as a concubine. They get along as equals.

"Where's Xiaoqing, is she there?" Mrs. Yu Qingwan's maid Xiao Lian came to the courtyard and saw that there was only Qin Liusu, so she asked.

"Xiaoqing may serve the young master in the study." Qin Liusu replied nonchalantly. As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ren actually cried.

"Miss Qin, now only you can help Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing is pregnant with the third young master's child, if the third young master doesn't give her an explanation, she will do something that the third young master will regret." Little mercy cried.

"How could she be pregnant with the third young master's child, is it true?" Although Qin Liusu occasionally has a little doubt, she has never seen anything, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, Qin Liusu doesn't want to believe her because of Xiao Pian's words.

"Miss Qin, you must help Xiaoqing, she just loves the third young master too much, so she ended up like this, have you forgotten Xiaoyu?" Mrs. Yu Qingwan's maid Xiao Lian said excitedly.
