"The sons and daughters obey the teachings of the emperor Amma." Several people hurriedly said in unison.

Kangxi nodded and drank tea. The prince and the others also sat down in turn.

Mao Tongtong was dedicated to appreciating his flowers, until he heard the servants say, "Congratulations to the emperor", and then he found that Kangxi had taken his sons out of the imperial garden.

After a moment of silence, the Imperial Garden suddenly became lively. The show girls got together in twos and threes to discuss the Kangxi and the princes they had just seen.

A month passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the final round of selection. Mao Tongtong's heart tensed again. That night, she barely slept and kept praying to heaven that she would not be elected.

Having had two rounds of experience, there was nothing to prepare for this turn. It's just that the wait for the result is very worrying.

When he heard the word "stay", Mao Tongtong's legs were weak and he almost didn't fall to the ground. Fortunately, she still remembered that this was in the palace, and she gritted her teeth and insisted.

The moment she returned to the house, she collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up. Why was it chosen? Who will she be pointed to? Enter Kangxi's harem? Or which prince's backyard? No, isn't there no one in history?

Could it be the eighth master? But the one surnamed Mao in the backyard of the eighth master is a concubine! Concubines don't need to be drafted! If not, who would it be? Big brother? Prince? Or the fourth master?

No, whoever it is, it's not what she wants! She still wants to go back to Yangzhou, she still wants to be coquettish in Chen's arms, she also wants to play with her brother Mao Mingxuan, and Mao Chengyun, that stupid Ama who can't wait to take out her heart and be good to her!

She doesn't want to enter the palace, and she doesn't have anything to do with the royal family! She doesn't want to follow the law of crossing! She just wants to live an ordinary and ordinary life!

"Yo, sister, is she crying with joy?"

Chen Ruyu didn't know when she came in. Seeing Mao Tongtong in tears, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but stab.

She was very proud and wanted to show off to Mao Tongtong that she had been left with a brand, but she didn't expect Mao Tongtong to be selected, and she looked reluctant, which made people angry.

Mao Tongtong didn't pay attention to her, just wiped the tears from her face and was silent. She is not in the mood to quarrel with Chen Ruyu at all.

Things turned out completely unexpectedly. Thinking of Chen, who was still living at Uncle Chen's house and waiting to take her home, her heart couldn't help but pinch again.

I really don't know when we will meet again. Those previous hunches actually worked.

"I'll tell you!" Chen Ruyu stabbed Mao Tongtong with her arm.

"I don't want to talk." Mao Tongtong glanced at her, and her tone was unusually cold, "You should also learn to observe words and colors, so as not to have a good life in the future!" ”

"You!" Chen Ruyu looked at her with wide eyes, she didn't expect Mao Tongtong to suddenly change her tone!

"Hmph, what's the big deal! If you have left a sign, you have to see where you go! Chen Ruyu stood up angrily and walked away.

The show girl in the same room looked at the two of them and suddenly turned their eyes, and for a while they were surprised and didn't know what to say.

Chen's Mansion, on the dinner table, Chen's machinery is holding rice and sending it to his mouth. This month, she didn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and counted the days with her fingers. Finally, I counted to thirty today, but Uncle Chen said that the result would have to wait until tomorrow.

"Eldest sister, you can see Tongtong if you hold on for one more night." Chen Junjie comforted.

"I've always felt uneasy in my heart." Chen sighed and said: "I'm really afraid, I'm afraid of her" I didn't dare to say two words after that, she was afraid that if she said it, her daughter would really not be able to come back.

Su Shi did not open his mouth to persuade at this time. In her opinion, Chen's is unfounded! Mao Tongtong is not as good as her Ruzhu, she can pass the second round and be lucky, how can she be selected.

Chen Ruzhu comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry, I think the third sister has a plan in her heart." Since she wants to lose the election, she will not deliberately show herself. Let's go to the palace gate early tomorrow morning and wait, we will definitely see the third sister. ”

No one mentioned Chen Ruyu, and it seemed that she had been selected by default.

After the three rounds of selection, except for those who are pointed out to the prince and the clan as Fujin and side Fujin, and those who are unsuccessful will be sent home, the rest of those who enter the Kangxi harem and the prince's backyard to be Gege do not need to leave the palace, but are directly sent to where they should go.

Mao Tongtong stayed awake all night, and before she could freshen up her red and swollen eyes, she saw that the show girl in the same room had already packed her little baggage.

"I'm going home. Good luck. The show girl said softly.

The official language she worked hard to use, Mao Tongtong understood it this time, smiled and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words, and I wish you a smooth journey."

The show girl also smiled and nodded, and went out with her baggage. She was unsuccessful and could go home happily.

Mao Tongtong sat on the bed in a daze, and suddenly rubbed his face vigorously with his hand, and shook his head violently, and the person suddenly became energetic.

Complaining about the sky has never been her hairy style! Since fate has arranged it this way, then she will rise to the challenge! If she is a concubine, she will be a concubine, if she doesn't fight or grab, can't she live in peace? Maybe she can meet a gentle mother and communicate with the Chen family?

After cheering himself up for a while, Mao Tongtong's mood improved. She brace herself and freshen herself. Today will be sent to the place where she will stay for the rest of her life, and she can't go unkempt.

It didn't take long for two grandmothers to come, and when they entered the door, they blessed Mao Tongtong, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Little Master Mao, you have been given to the eighth elder brother to be qualified." Now let's go to the brother's house with the slaves and maids. ”

Mao Tongtong was shocked, it was the eighth master! Is she really that Mao? But why did the identity become Gege? Could it be that history has changed because of her travels?

Suppressed with surprise, Mao Tongtong followed the two grandmothers out of the house. Not far away, Chen Ruyu was also being taken out by two grandmothers. The sisters looked at each other, then quickly looked away.

"Mama, do you know where that showgirl over there goes? She is my cousin. Mao Tongtong pointed at Chen Ruyu and asked in a low voice.

The grandmother beside her glanced over there and replied with a smile: "That little master has good luck and was given to the prince!"

Mao Tongtong sighed in her heart, it seems that the lives of their cousins are not good. The crown prince and the eighth master are both losers in the succession, and they all ended miserably. Be their woman, and nothing will end well in the end!

I didn't expect to be cannon fodder. Mao Tongtong smiled self-deprecatingly. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice. It can only be self-comforting, anyway, it is a long life, even if it is short, it is in vain, or enjoy the present, I don't want to be in the future.
