Chapter 2: Show Girl
Finally came to the day of the draft, Chunjiao, like all the show girls, entered the palace in a sedan chair.
Chunjiao was dressed in a lotus lotus skirt and a white gauze dress. The gauze is adorned with lotus petals.
Just getting off the sedan chair attracted a jealous look. Chunjiao dressed elegantly and stood out among the gorgeous crowd, and was extraordinary under the embellishment of hibiscus flowers.
A brightly dressed woman approached Chunjiao.
"Dressed so shabby, I am Zhilan, the daughter of Salshuo, the governor of Liangzhou."
Chunjiao glanced at her with contempt.
"Where did the sparrows come from? The twitter is annoying. ”
Chunjiao turned around and left Zhilan.
"Stop, a little daughter of the sixth grade, the official dares to insult Miss Ben."
Chunjiao ignored Zhilan, who was stirring up trouble, and followed a steward eunuch to get the number plate, and Zhilan followed behind her with broken steps. ripped off Chunjiao's gauze and stepped on it.
Chunjiao turned around sharply and saw Sayi being trampled on the ground. Bending over to pick up being stepped on by Zhilan, Chunjiao didn't want to make enemies with her.
"Please take your feet away."
"Haha, you're pulling hard?"
Chunjiao roared loudly, but Zhilan refused to give up. hooked Zhilan's calf, but before Zhilan could react, a dog ate and lay on the ground. Chunjiao picked up the sari and shook off the dust on it, draped it on her body and walked away.
Zhilan got up and whispered a few words in the maid's ear. The maid willingly left.
Chunjiao was followed by two maids brought from the Song Mansion. One is called Hongyu and the other is called Hongyan.
Ruby saw that the gauze clothes had been stepped on a hole. Scream loudly.
"The eldest lady is not good, the sari has been trampled on."
Chunjiao took off her gauze and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was so. There is still an hour left before the temple election. When entering the palace, the inspection was very strict and did not allow you to bring anything, only such a gauze garment. How is this good? Chunjiao was stunned and looked into the distance in a daze.
At this time, a eunuch walked over with an incense burner, walked towards Chunjiao, and suddenly grabbed a handful of incense ashes and threw it at her. Chunjiao's quick reaction fell on the left side of her face, and she almost lost her eyes.
Zhilan stood aside and laughed. Chunjiao understood that this must have been done by Zhilan. Chunjiao didn't want to cause trouble, but something came to the door. glanced at Zhilan coldly, let's take a look at the future.
"Ah, Miss, your face."
It's lively now, and I don't know what to do? His face was splashed with incense ash again. At this moment, there is still half an hour before the palace election. How can you meet the emperor with this look? Chunjiao had an idea.
"Ruby silver."
Hongyu handed the silver to Chunjiao, who took the silver and approached the eunuch just now and stuffed twenty taels of silver into her father-in-law's hand. Seeing the silver father-in-law grinning.
"Haha, Miss Chunjiao, what's the matter?"
"Father-in-law He, how can Miss Ben meet the emperor like this? Find a place with rouge gouache. ”
"There is still an hour."
Chunjiao is calm.
"Miss Ben has her own arrangements."
Grandpa He led her into a secluded alley. It was found that there was a long corridor with gorgeous lotus flowers blooming under the covered bridge. The brain flashed that this lotus flower was very useful. Chunjiao picked up her skirt and jumped off the covered bridge.
Gonggong He watched Chunjiao jump off the covered bridge.
"Auntie, what are you doing? The hour is near. ”
Chunjiao picked the lotus flower and jumped lightly onto the covered bridge. Why are you as light as a swallow? Suddenly remembered that Lan Buchen passed on to her the reason for the martial arts of the Blue Yimen.
Gonggong He, who was standing on the side, looked at her.
"Miss Chunjiao still has some kung fu."
Gonggong He's words alerted Zi Yan. You can't be too sharp in the palace.
"What's the effort then? The hour is approaching, and this girl is in a hurry. ”
"Hurry up!"
Chunjiao followed Gonggong He to the corner of a large hall and pushed open a door. Looking at the darkness inside, I was a little frightened.
"Come in!"
Chunjiao looked back at Hongyu.
"Keep up."
Because Chunjiao knows that the deep palace is sinister, she needs to be cautious.
He Gonggong lit the oil lamp, and Chunjiao saw that it was a bedroom with a large bunk.
"This is the housekeeper's aunt's bedroom. There was gouache rouge on that table. ”
Chunjiao looked in the direction of Gonggong He's finger. She was pleasantly surprised to see a bronze mirror on the table.
