On the official road to Hangzhou, a donkey cart drove slowly across the road. Seeing the person sitting in the car, the little fox demon turned his head and buried himself in Fu Duoxi's arms, and the little green dragon also lowered the brim of his hat and turned his face away.

When the two carts were staggered, there seemed to be a light breeze blowing in his face, and the great monk sitting on the donkey cart made a Buddhist salute to Fu Duoxi. Fu Duoxi smiled slightly, which was considered a return gift. Turning his head to look, the great monk was also turning his head to look at her, and his mouth said: "Amitabha, good, good!" ”

Princess Changji pulled her forehead and stared at the background of the great monk, "Is that the senior monk of Lingyin Temple invited by the Huang family?" ”

"It should be, I saw the word Lingyin engraved on his Buddhist staff. It's a pity that it's late......"

Fu Duoxi looked at the old monk's back again, and the donkey cart turned and was out of sight.

Fu Duoxi's carriage deliberately walked very slowly, hoping to meet Cui Manniang on the road, but unfortunately he didn't see Cui Manniang's shadow until Hangzhou.

The palace people of the Hangzhou Royal Palace suddenly saw Princess Changji coming back, and they immediately became busy. The palace maid in charge reported that the prefect of Hangzhou had sent people to find Princess Changji several times, and the draft girls in the Jiangnan area had been concentrated in Hangzhou City, so they would be sent to the capital in batches after the primary election of Princess Changji.

"Princess Changji can take a look at the roster of show girls first. If there is no show girl roster, Cui Manniang will think of other ways. ”

The show girl was given to the emperor, and the roster must not be faked, and no one can afford to deceive the king.

Princess Changji immediately asked the palace maid in charge to go to the prefect of Hangzhou to ask for the roster, and the palace maid in charge glanced at the night outside the window, and still went out in a hurry.

Fu Duoxi still remembers the face of Zhou Chengzhang, the prefect of Hangzhou, who is a smiling tiger and is not easy to deal with. It is difficult to rescue Hua Chun and Xia Er from him, but the little sister who once promised to suffer together must not lose her word. Fortunately, Princess Changji is in charge of this matter, and she will just get the roster and cross out the names of Hua Chun and Xia Er in a while.

There are five major books in the roster of show girls, each of which records the information of thirty show girls, in addition to their names, ages, specialties, hobbies, and family history.

"The prefect of Hangzhou is really careful."

"How can a magistrate be not careful when doing things for the emperor! They all want to go to my father's side to be big officials, but they can't do anything serious in the local area, so they spend their minds on the side doors. Fox Xiaomeng and Han Hanlong also take a copy and take a look, let's find it together. ”

"I can't read."

"I'm also illiterate."

The little fox demon and the little green dragon both blushed writhingly.

Fuduo smiled and went through the three rosters, and just looking at the names was quickly finished. Yan Jiu stretched out his fingers and silently read the name word by word, looking very difficult.

Fu Duoxi pulled the roster in Yan Jiu's hand, but he didn't find Cui Manniang, everyone's eyes fell on Princess Changji's face, and Princess Changji turned to the last page very seriously, "I don't have Cui Manniang in this book." ”

Fu Duoxi took the roster that Princess Changji had read and flipped through it, she wanted to find the names of Hua Chun and Xia Er, but there were no two names in the five rosters. Obviously, they were locked up together in a small black room in the backyard of the Hangzhou prefect at that time.

"So there are still show girls who are not registered? What does the Hangzhou prefect want to do? ”

Princess Changji had a cold little face, and her tone was hateful.

"You can ask Lord Zhou, maybe Lord Zhou missed other rosters. The princess can have a primary selection for the show girl tomorrow, and I have two friends who don't want to be show girls, so the princess can let them go home. One of them is called Hua Chun and the other is called Xia Er. ”

"Okay, I would have asked the show girls for their opinions, and I definitely won't be reluctant if I don't want to go to the capital."

The show girls gathered in the Hangzhou post station, and when they heard that the princess of Changji was coming to the primary election, the show girls lined up in several rows early and waited in the courtyard of the post station.

The show girls stood under the scorching sun and quickly sweated profusely, there were guards watching all around, and they didn't dare to move one by one, Fu Duoxi and Princess Changji got out of the car and walked into the courtyard, seeing the two show girls faint from heat stroke and fall to the ground.

"How can you wait for the emperor after your body is so weak? Get it back! ”

Several female officials who were in charge of taking care of the show girl stepped forward and kicked the show girl who fell to the ground. Princess Changji happened to see it, and glared coldly: "Stop, you help them to rest in the house immediately." ”

"These people specialize in bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!"

"The princess is angry."

Fu Duoxi also felt that those female officials were hateful, but it was important to do business at this time.

Princess Changji sat on the chair and glanced at Fu Duoxi, who raised his head and raised his hand. ”

Fu Duoxi was wearing the palace clothes of Princess Changji who was in charge of the palace, and her speech was equivalent to Princess Changji's order, and all the beautiful girls raised their heads and looked this way.

Fudoki glanced over and didn't see a familiar face, feeling slightly disappointed. After reading the five rosters, he turned his head to look at Princess Changji.

Princess Changji showed impatience, and her hopes of finding Cui Manniang were once again dashed. Waving his hand, the palace man holding the fan next to him stepped back, stood up and pointed to the left and right, those who were willing to go to the capital were on the side, and those who were willing to go home were on the side.

The show girls didn't move. Fu Duoxi stepped forward and looked at the show girls with a smile, "Princess Changji will do what she says, and those who want to go home will not be guilty." ”

The show girls pinched their sleeves and looked down at each other, a tall woman walked to the side of the capital, and another slightly chubby woman walked to the other side, looking at Fu Duoxi and Princess Nagayoshi back and forth with an uneasy expression.

Soon the show girls were divided into two teams, and there were only a few show girls who went home.

These show girls don't think that entering the palace is to enjoy the glory and wealth!

Princess Changji puffed out her mouth and got angry, regretting that she had just let the show girls choose for themselves, and it should be up to her to decide who goes and who stays.

"Princess, you can mobilize them to choose to go home."

"Mobilization?"

Fu Duo smiled, "Just talk more about the difficulties of life after entering the palace, they are all smart, and they will naturally make wise choices." ”

"This princess is asking you to choose whether to enter the palace according to your own wishes, if you choose to enter the palace, you will have to go through the selection of the chief of the inner department before you can be selected as the official show girl......

Even if she is officially selected as a show girl, she may not be able to see the emperor, which means that she may only be a show girl for the rest of her life, or die in the palace, or have the opportunity to accompany her to the West. ”

After Princess Changji said this, there was a commotion in the show girls' team, and the show girls walked to the other side one after another, and the number of people on both sides suddenly reversed.

At this time, the prefect who came to see that there were only a few beauties left after his hard work, and after being surprised, he hurriedly told Princess Changji that this matter was not child's play, and that the show girls were not enough to choose enough to lose their heads.

"The emperor blames me for being Princess Changji, I am acting on the queen's orders, is Lord Zhou trying to disobey the queen's orders? Regarding the harem, I advise Lord Zhou not to be self-righteous. ”

"Lord Zhou, where did you place the other show girls?"

Fu Duoxi suddenly asked Zhou Chengzhang stunned, and then recognized Fu Duoxi.
