Chapter 8 (Entering the Palace)
Gong Yun angrily threw the portrait in front of Qin Hong, "You say so as a father, so what's the use of this painting?" Go down, and leave it to you if your little daughter is really useless. ”
"Prince Xie, Weichen is determined to die for the imperial court." Qin Hong hurriedly responded and retreated. I was secretly happy in my heart, no matter what, Yao'er's fate was saved, no matter how insidious this Gong Yun was, he wouldn't even give this face.
Gong Yun picked up the book and glanced at the portrait, put down the book and picked it up again and looked at it, if there really is such a woman in the world, ...... it really be?
On the third day of the next day, Qin Yao wore a white dress and a pair of delicate embroidered shoes, followed by Xuan'er and Feng'er with hairpins on his head, and walked out of Shangshu Mansion.
She really has no bottom today, because when she returned to the attic after bathing last night, her mother Baguio had been waiting there for a long time, nagging for half a night, and took away the two alternative short knives, and it was not a joke to enter the palace with knives.
Without weapons and being beaten like this, she was so weak that she was going to die, and she could escape easily. The palace is not an ordinary mansion, she can come and go unhindered, and the forbidden army in the palace is not vegetarian.
She hasn't put on makeup since she was so big, and she was startled when she looked in the mirror when she went out, and the eldest sister and the second sister were really a bit out of the crowd, she was super suspicious that this was the eldest mother and the second mother deliberately blocking the gun with themselves.
But there are many makeup experts in the palace, and it must be impossible to hide it if she deliberately makes it bad, and when she gets into the carriage, she is looking for where the carriage can be dismantled and used as a weapon.
When you get into the car, you are equivalent to entering a cage, and three sergeants wearing armor and carrying spears on both sides of the car are responsible for protection, and they give people a strong sense of oppression when they walk.
There were only three of them in the car, and they weren't even allowed to take a maid, but it was the people from Shangshufu who drove the car, and so did the carriage.
There were also a lot of onlookers gathered outside the gate of Shangshu Mansion, they were all very strange, when did Shangshu Mansion have another young lady? These three young ladies are even better than the first two.
These are all people who have the potential to become imperial concubines, and once they are chosen, it will be difficult to see them in the future. Although Qin Xuan and Qin Feng don't go out often, they can't help but go out after so many years, and they all know them if they live nearby.
The most controversial thing is that this third lady who came out of nowhere, not only came from a mysterious background, but also sank fish and geese and closed the moon and shy flowers, just like a fairy in the sky.
"These three young ladies are really good, why haven't you seen them before?"
Qin Yao heard a sentence and the carriage moved, don't talk about it hazy and didn't hear what was said, the main thing is that she doesn't have the heart to listen now.
In contrast, Qin Xuan and Qin Feng are much calmer, it is not good to be selected, but as the young lady of the Sanpin Dayuan family, as long as they can survive the past few years and wait for the emperor to die, they still have a chance to go home, although they will never be able to marry a good family again, but as long as they don't pick, they can still get married.
Dahengguo has rules, after the death of the emperor, the concubines have children to raise, and those who have no heirs will be sent home after the love is what, after all, it is a son of heaven and a courtier, and the new emperor cannot raise all the concubines of the emperor.
In contrast, the most uneasy is Qin Yao, there is really no way, it is not impossible to stay in the palace and serve the emperor for a few years. The key is that she is used to going south and north, if she is locked up in a house for more than ten years and doesn't come out, she can't stand it, as for running out and not going back, it depends on whether there is a chance.
At this point, whoever has to accept their fate and go to that gorgeous cage to wait for someone else's verdict on themselves. Qin Yao leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed, and all he could hear in his ears was the sound of the armored warrior walking.
In the haze, he heard the coachman shouting at the horses and stopped, Qin Yao opened his eyes and looked out through the curtain of the car, and his heart couldn't help but be a lot quieter.
Because the window of the carriage was already full of gorgeous carriages, and all kinds of colorful women got out of the carriage, and many of them were women of the same appearance as her.
It seems that I think too much, there is no shortage of beauties in this world. As the curtain was lifted, the three men got out of the car.
In front is a very tall city gate hole, a pair of vermilion lacquer gates are tightly closed, and there are three gilded characters on the door hole.
Hongtu Gate.
"Let's all go over there and line up." The armored samurai circled them like ducks to line up outside the doorway. Qin Yao counted about forty candidate women.
As time passed, several more carriages came, and the armored warriors divided them into two teams, one of thirty, and then the armored warriors lined up motionless outside them.
After waiting for about half an hour, the vermilion lacquer gate rumbled and someone pulled it open, and a man in a high hat led a group of people in the same costume out of it.
"Are you all there?" The man in the high-horned hat asked in a high-horned voice.
With the sound of armor, a sergeant ran over. "Back to Mr. Huang, a total of sixty people are all here, please see the number."
"Well, it's okay to leave it to the declining family, will you return to the team?"
"Come with me."
"This is the rumored eunuch?" Qin Yao asked Qin Feng in front of him in a low voice.
Before Qin Feng could reply, the woman behind her pushed her. "Which family are you looking for death?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll be punished." Qin Feng turned around and whispered.
After entering the doorway, the door behind him closed with a bang, and Qin Yao's heart sank for no reason, it was really overwhelming to go out with such a high wall.
"Follow me, rules." The man in the tall hat commanded sharply.
"Oops." Qin Yao suddenly lunged forward, pushing along with Qin Feng and Qin Xuan.
"What's going on? Tell you the rules, what are you doing? Mr. Huang turned back and reprimanded.
"I'm sorry butler, I didn't wear a skirt, I can't go fast." Qin Yao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Nonsense, what woman can't wear a skirt?" Mr. Huang scolded.
"Back to the housekeeper, the slave family has been farming downwards and has never worn a skirt." Qin Yao pleaded.
"What butler? The declining family is the master. Mr. Huang scolded again.
Although the women who were traveling with them didn't dare to speak, they all turned around and looked over, they were also very curious, they had never seen this person among these ladies in the capital.
Qin Feng and Qin Xuan also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded. "Lord Steward, we are the daughter of Qin Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this is my third sister, she was kicked out of the house by her father very early, and she has been farming in the countryside and has never worn a skirt."
"I think it's grandstanding, you won't mention this if you can't wear a skirt?" Mr. Huang lifted the tall hat on top of his head.
The Ministry of Rites is his peer, and from a certain point of view, he is still his boss. After all, they are genuine officials, and it will not be good to wear their own small shoes in the future.
"I'll be careful, not next time." Qin Yao begged.
"Be careful, you." Mr. Huang left without a rut.
Qin Yao was very funny and carried his skirt back on the road, Qin Xuan looked back at his sister Qin Feng, the two of them looked at each other silently, the third sister was obviously deliberately looking for trouble.
"Oops!" When passing by a flower tree passage, a flower branch hung on the hairstyle ring on the top of Qin Yao's head, causing several women who had been walking with their heads down behind them to crash into her before they had time to react.
"What's the matter? Why are you again? Why are you so stupid? Manager Huang turned around and saw that it was Qin Yao again.
"The manager spares his life, this flower branch is too low, and I don't see it when I walk with my head down?" Qin Yao was still afraid of begging.
"How? Didn't get hurt, did you? And the two of you, aren't you her sister? Why don't you remind the point? "Manager Huang is also out of line, these are all draft girls, and I don't know which one accidentally becomes the master, if you offend the wrong one, you will be unlucky.
