Draft

Next Chapter

Three years after the death of the first emperor, the filial piety period has expired, and the number of people in the harem withered in the March 18 draft.

Entering this harem is a blessing and a curse, this not high red wall and green tile will be a cage to imprison you, only after death buried in the imperial mausoleum, can you go outside to take a look.

But after entering the palace, it can make the family honor, if you are lucky enough to get a high-ranking lady, it is countless glory, everyone in the harem wants to climb up, even the lowly little palace maid has never thought so, so that she also has some glory and wealth.

Although it is said that the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are smiling in March, there are zero umbrellas and rouge on the embankment. The rejuvenation of the dust is called the old, and the flowers are dead and the lotus is gone. But I don't know what March this year is like, the snow keeps falling, and in a few days it will be the time of the draft.

"Dense and silent falling in the blue sky, Feifei has a rhyme and dancing breeze. The ghost looked at the search place and floated into the window to fall into the inkstone. ”

"Miss, don't stand in front of the window, it's a draft in a few days, if you catch a cold, it's not good" The maid Rue Xiang entered the house with a few plates of pastries

"Draft, I really don't want to go, if I really enter the palace, I will never be able to get out" said and slowly moved to the bookcase, picked up the unfinished knee pads and continued to sew. I seem to be thinking about something.

After a while, "Rue, this knee pad is almost sewn, remember to remind me to bring two pairs to my father and mother tomorrow when I ask for peace" and said

"Daughter to Daddy and Mother Say Goodbye" said and knelt down, folded his hands and shoulders level, put his hands in front of his forehead, his forehead and knees touched, his forehead was close to the ground, the top of his head was up, and after kneeling, his head was lower than the ground. "Hurry up," a deep and gentle voice came.

After getting up, "Dad, mother, this is the knee pad that my daughter sewed for the second elder, although it is March, but it is still snowing, the weather is cold, or you have to protect your knees."

"Okay, Wanqiong has a heart, it's the draft in a few days, you have to prepare well, don't have a bad pool," the mother said

I didn't say anything, "Wanqiong, my father knows that you don't want to enter the palace for the draft, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, if you can enter the palace to serve the emperor, it will be a glorious ancestor, and the family will be proud of you" Hearing my father's words, my mother's eyes showed a trace of pain.

I didn't know how to answer my father, but I bowed my head silently and was silent.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, his father sighed, and then said, "Wanqiong, my father knows that this matter can't be forced on you, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey!" “

Hearing her father's words, her mother finally couldn't help but turn her back and wipe away her tears. I looked up at my father and said, "Father, but my daughter... Didn't want to go into the palace"

"Wanqiong, do you know that you will bring shame on the family by doing this? Do you know that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey? The father asked, looking at his daughter.

I bowed my head and said, "I know" There seems to be no way back in this matter, it seems that entering the palace draft is the path that God has already arranged for me, so since it is the road arranged by God, then I will take a walk, see how difficult this road is, I want to give the family a good glory to the ancestors.

"I entered the palace for the sake of family honor," my father couldn't help but smile with relief when he heard my words

When entering the palace for the draft, there was already a carriage at the gate of the house, and after paying a big salute to his father and mother outside the house, he turned around and walked into the carriage. Jiang Wanqiong was wearing a pink gauze dress, with white lace embroidered on the cuffs, and two layers of milky white gauze collars stacked on the front of her neck, complicated and delicate, and her ink-colored hair was gently pulled up and a Wei Ling hairpin was inserted

I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped, "Please get off the carriage" An old-fashioned and gentle voice came from outside the carriage, and when I heard the sound, I got out of the carriage and looked at a woman standing in front of me, smiling, older woman, presumably it was the old lady in the palace, I bowed down and saluted "Mama An"

"The little master doesn't have to be polite, please follow the old man to Jingyi Xuan," Mama said. Although she is an old lady in the palace, she has been by the side of nobles for a long time, and she has a noble temperament.

When I arrived at Jingyixuan, the people here were all talking and laughing, and the grandmother said, "Please wait here for the decree," and then turned around and walked out.

I took a few steps forward and saw a familiar figure - Song Yuhan, I quickly stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder, "Sister Han"

The man turned to look at me in surprise and said, "Wanqiong, why are you here too?"

"I, just like my father, said that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and my father wants me to glorify my ancestors"

I didn't wait long, my father-in-law came out to read out the first batch of audience lists, of course, the first list is related, Sister Han and I didn't care much about their results, so we continued to chat, and after two batches of father-in-law read out the list when I and Sister Han's names lined up together, we looked at each other and followed my father-in-law into the hall, standing in a row, after entering the hall, I was inexplicably a little nervous

The father-in-law shouted, "Song Yuhan, the daughter of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, is seventeen years old. Song Yuhan took a step forward, bowed his head and blessed a blessing, and his voice was like a warbler: "The courtier Song Yuhan sees the emperor and the queen, may the emperor live long and blessed, and the queen will be auspicious." ”

"What do you usually do at home?" The queen mother spoke, and Song Yuhan said politely: "If you go back to the mother, the courtiers will pass the time by reading books when they are free at home."

"Well, it's dignified, leave a brand," the emperor said. I expected Song Yuhan to be selected

"Jiang Wanqiong, the daughter of a bachelor in the cabinet, is sixteen years old" I took two steps forward, Ying Ying knelt down, bowed her head and said: "The courtier Jiang Wanqiong sees the emperor and the queen, may the emperor be blessed and safe, and the queen will be auspicious." ”

"But Wanqiong in 'If there is a person who is sorry for Peiqiong, Shen Wanyu raises a new voice'?" The emperor asked with interest, and replied lightly, "Exactly"

The queen said, "What books do you usually read?" and replied, "Courtiers usually read women's rules and women's training, and occasionally look at poetry books."

"Yes, leave the sign" The emperor said with a smile, originally thinking that I should not stay, but who knows...... That's it, just settle down after entering the palace

Today, this temple is chosen to stay and to go. Those who stay are trapped in this deep palace, and those who leave may find a good husband and godson
