Lying on the couch, Shen Ci tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

On the one hand, he was angry, angry Li Mobai forced her to watch him choose a woman, and disliked her for being lazy;

While calculating, she was thinking about what method she would use tomorrow to slap the queen in the face of 'embarrassment and impoliteness'.

Thinking about it, sleepiness hit, and she yawned, turned over and fell asleep.

Following.

The draft was arranged in Tonglin Xuan in the Imperial Garden, where the stage began to be set up two days earlier. Shen Ciwu saw it when he was passing by, and the color of powder and blue was quite good-looking.

Today, Qi'er put on red lipstick when she added makeup, and Pei'er chose a crimson cloud brocade robe when she chose clothes.

Such a glamorous outfit looks like she has an aura of two meters eight, as if she is either the charming villain in the ancient sayings of Gong Dou or the cold female killer in the words of the boss.

Shen Ciwei looked a little dissatisfied, and muttered to the mirror, "It looks so fierce......

She picked up the handkerchief and wanted to wipe off the lipstick, but Pei'er stopped her, "The little master can't wipe it, you have to look at it like this to have momentum!" Little master, you think, today is the draft girl entering the palace, and the selected show girls will serve the emperor in the future, you are at the right moment to give them prestige, dress up and look not easy to provoke, so that they will not let these rising stars ride on your head in the future! ”

Ride on her head?

She is a 'heroine' who can ride on the head of a tyrant and sing conquest, who has the ability to ride on her head......

However, seeing that the time was almost up, and it was too late to modify it, Shen Ciwu rushed to Tonglinxuan with such a glamorous and cold look.

When she arrived, the queen was already seated.

As usual, on important occasions, she always wears her phoenix robe and phoenix crown, and brings a court bead to show her honor as a queen.

Seeing that Shen Ciwu's dress today was also different from the past, the queen couldn't help but glance at her twice, "I've never seen you wear bright colors, this crimson color is very flattering to you, and it looks white." ”

"Where is the queen's phoenix robe bright and dazzling?"

Seeing that the queen was kneading her neck from time to time, Shen Ci pretended to be concerned and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

The queen sighed lightly, shook her head and said: "Last night, the emperor summoned the palace to go to Chaoyang Palace to sleep, Xu is the pillow is too high to sleep and is not used to sleeping, and it should be a pillow in the morning, and I feel that my neck is sore and tight." ”

Shen Ci worried: [Hehe, do you want to go to bed or let you play with ice, don't you have a little pressure in your heart? Pretending to be the real thing......]

After complaining in his heart, he smiled lightly, "Yes, the concubine also fell asleep when she went to Chaoyang Palace for the first time." But after that, I went more often, and gradually I got used to sleeping on the pillow, and then I didn't feel anything. ”

Her words pierced the queen's heart like a needle.

She let out a very unnatural 'um' expression, and then ignored Shen Ci's worries.

After a while, the first wave of show girls was already in place.

The queen asked the head of the Internal Affairs Office: "The emperor hasn't come yet, why did these show girls come out?" ”

It happened that Sanfu arrived, and explained to the queen with a smile: "The emperor has something to stumble in the previous dynasty, so he won't come today." He turned his gaze to Shen Ciwu, cleared his throat and said: "The emperor specially instructed that Rong Guiren should have full authority to handle the draft, and the queen would serve as an adviser. If you look at someone, you will directly leave the brand to be selected in the palace, and leave it to the emperor to be positioned in the future. ”

Sanfu's voice was not small when he said this, and the show girls present could hear it clearly.

Li Mobai deliberately instructed Shen Ciwei to 'handle the draft with full authority', and those show girls saw Shen Ciwei's makeup and dress up again, and they had the style of 'favorite concubines', and a drama of spoiling wives and concubines was staged in their minds.

The queen only said that this matter was inappropriate, and she wanted to ask the queen mother for her will.

Shen Ciwu didn't say a word the whole time, and even wanted to laugh.

She finally understood why Li Mobai wanted her to follow her in the draft, but she was worried that she would be jealous, so she simply let her make up her own mind about everything.

Sanfu argued with the queen for a while, "This draft girl is a matter of the harem, the noble people have to be favored to know the emperor's preferences, and the queen's mother is the middle palace, and the emperor can rest assured that the two masters have made such a decision." If the mother invited the queen mother at this moment, I was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy. ”

In desperation, the queen had no choice but to follow Li Mobai's thoughts.

The show girls came forward one by one for the queen and Shen Ci to choose, and there were a total of ten show girls in the first wave, and there were three of them who were still good looks.

But the queen automatically chose to ignore them, and only picked two show girls who looked like no salt and had a 'strong' body and praised them vigorously.

"The most important thing in choosing a concubine is to consider the imperial heir. Look at them, their hips are wide and their buttocks are big, and they are easy to give birth to at first glance, if they enter the palace, they won't be able to hold them for three years? ”

Li Mobai's original words were to let Shen Ciwei personally take charge of this draft, if she selected all these crooked melons and cracked dates according to the queen's wishes, not to mention whether Li Mobai has any opinions, the queen mother alone could kill her with the number of 'women jealous'.

So she took a sip of tea and pretended to be calm: "It's good, but it looks a little unsatisfactory." Even if you are elected to the palace just to extend the imperial heir, you have to pick something pleasing to the eye, right? I can't get over the face, and the emperor will definitely not even touch it, so what's the use of no matter how big the ass is? ”

The queen asked, "Oh? What do you mean? ”

Shen Ci thought about it for a while, remembering that Li Mobai told the queen last night that the queen would punish her for running laps and skipping rope in the future, and suddenly had a plan.

"It's one thing for a woman to give birth before the ghost door is closed, and it's one thing to just look at her own conditions, and it's another thing to keep up with her physical strength. The daughters of these princes and nobles are used to being pampered one by one, where do they still have that kind of physical strength? According to the concubines, why don't you give them a little quiz? ”

"What?"

"The concubines have looked at the roster of women participating in today's draft, and there are a total of fifty people. Divide them into groups of ten, one group skipping rope, one group running laps, one group push-ups, one group of leg raises, and one group of sit-ups, so that they can compete in physical strength. The top three winners in each group will be selected by the concubines and the queen mother to be selected as concubines with outstanding appearance, figure and talent, which is in line with the emperor's wishes. ”

These show girls turned green after listening to Shen Ci's proposal.

They have memorized poems and songs at home for so long, and have studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for so long, and when they come to the draft, they don't take any exams, but they have to test who is an athlete?

Is this a choice of concubines or bodyguards?

How could the queen let her mess around, so she stopped: "These show girls are all daughters of princes and ministers, and your draft method is too child's play." ”

"Is it child's play? The concubine didn't think so. Compared to who goes and who stays, this selection mechanism can be regarded as giving each of them the opportunity to hold their fate in their own hands, isn't it? ”

Shen Ci's worried eyes swept to those show girls, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you willing to do this?" ”

Although this method is outrageous, these school-age women know in their hearts that with the frequency of Li Mobai's selection of a show once in the past five years, if they want to enter the palace and enjoy glory and wealth in this life, I am afraid that there is only one opportunity.

Who in Jiangdu doesn't know that Li Mobai is tall and handsome, and he is suave?

Who wouldn't want to marry such a beautiful, powerful, and rich man?

So everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they say in unison: "The courtiers are willing to try." ”

Shen Ciwu raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen, "Does the queen still have a problem?" ”

The queen gave her a blank look and said disdainfully: "You can do whatever you like." ”
