"Zhou Lang, it's not that you don't know the words 'once you enter the palace city, it is as deep as the sea', if they are really taken by His Majesty, the father and daughter, mother and daughter want to see each other in the future, and they don't know what year and month they will have to wait?"

Thinking of the scene of the separation of flesh and blood, He couldn't help but sob.

Her two daughters, but two pieces of flesh that fell from her mother!

"If you change to someone else, you really don't dare to guarantee the ticket for your husband, but if your majesty dares to say that your husband dares to say that as long as you don't go back to visit your relatives too often, your majesty will definitely agree."

Zhou Rui said, squeezed his eyes at He, and said:

"Madame, do you know that some time ago, at the auction held in Chu Yulou, His Majesty also took the two ladies in the palace with him?"

When He heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This matter is serious, if this is the case, wouldn't those imperial histories of the Supervision Yuan be ......"

"Just as Madame thought," Zhou Rui said in a low voice, "Those imperial histories have sent several excerpts in a row, but unfortunately, they have all been left by His Majesty." ”

There was a hint of thoughtfulness in Ho's eyes.

It can be seen from this that His Majesty can tolerate the concubines of the harem, as long as he does not make any big mistakes. That's why my husband said that it wasn't a big deal to go back to visit relatives this time. ”

"If it is according to what the husband said, then it makes sense."

He Shi sighed, glared at Zhou Rui, and said:

"But marriage is a major matter, especially when it comes to you, husband, you ask Xian'er and Jiamin for their opinions. If they don't agree, then ......"

"Madame, don't worry, if the two daughters don't agree, then the matter will stop here, and the husband will never mention it again!"

Zhou Rui said categorically.

…………

In the inner courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, an embroidery pavilion stands quietly beside the pond.

Suddenly, a young girl trotted all the way to the embroidery pavilion, which also broke the peaceful atmosphere.

"Second Miss."

Seeing the visitor, the maid outside the house greeted her and shouted to the embroidery pavilion:

"Miss, the second miss is here."

"Sister is in there?" The girl asked, then nodded, "I'll go in and talk to my sister for a while." ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and walked in.

"Jiamin, why did you get in?"

Watching her sister walk into the embroidery pavilion, the girl lying on the bed looked up, revealing a pair of reddish eyes.

Zhou Jiamin smiled: "Hehe, sister, I couldn't find anyone in my sister's boudoir, so I guessed that my sister came here again." ”

As she spoke, she sighed softly and said:

"It seems that my father also mentioned it to my sister."

"What, father, he also told your sister about this?" When Zhou Xian heard this, he hurriedly got up from the bed and said with a little complaint, "Father too, if it is for the Zhou family, let me, who is my sister, enter the palace and suffer, why are you still involved in your sister?" ”

"Sister, my father also has difficulties, and those of us who are daughters must also be considerate." Zhou Xian smiled and leaned over to his sister's side, reached out and hugged her waist, and asked in a low voice, "It's just sister, what do you think of that majesty?" ”

"What do you think?"

Zhou Xian sighed faintly, I feel sorry for me like that.

"You say, my father asked you and me to enter the palace draft and marry a man I have never met, what will I think, sister? You and I don't even know what His Majesty looks like. ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker."

Zhou Jiamin also sighed softly.

"It's just that I'm waiting for my daughter's family, at such an age, after all, I want to get married. No matter what, what His Majesty has done since the day he ascended the throne can be regarded as a bit of a wise man. Being a concubine for such a person is not an insult to our sisters. ”

At the end of the day, her little face flushed slightly.

Seeing his sister like this, Zhou Xian was angry and funny, raised his hand and patted her head gently.

"My sister told you a long time ago, let you read less scripts and the like, look at your current appearance, is there still a trace of everyone's beautiful reserve? According to my sister, I see, you, live like a little cat that 'meows' in the spring. ”

"Sister, you're the little kitten!"

Zhou Jiamin's face was slightly red when his sister said it, his eyes rolled, and he reached out to Ha Zhouxian's armpit.

The two girls burst into laughter.

It's a pity that no one can see this kind of spring.

When the two of them withdrew their hands out of breath, Zhou Jiamin said:

"Sister, according to my sister's wishes, let's follow my father's arrangement, don't make him too embarrassed."

"As a sister, I can only talk to my sister about the depression in my heart." Zhou Xian collected his emotions and said, "This matter depends on my father." It's just that this draft is not up to my father. When the time comes, I don't know if you and my sisters will be able to make it to the end. ”

"If you really can't choose it, then your father will have nothing to say."

Zhou Jiamin said with a smile.

Although His Majesty has specially explained that the scale should be reduced so as not to waste the people and money, but the whole process still has to go through one government election, three palace elections, and the final palace election.

…………

At the beginning of March of the third year of Yanfeng, the palace ushered in the first draft of Zhao Yu's reign.

Although it was a little cold, under the command and coordination of the Ministry of Rites, the Internal Affairs Office and the Zongzheng Mansion, the draft was carried out in an orderly manner, and soon the final palace election was reached.

But I saw a row of slender waists and beautiful show girls slowly entering the court. Surrounded by red walls and yellow tiles, the gold-roofed Hongmen, which makes people feel solemn and solemn, for hundreds of years, I don't know how many show girls have entered this deep palace today, and they are lost in the torrent of years.

The sisters of the Zhou family were also in this team, although they were curious about this royal scene, they also knew the importance of the rules, so they didn't dare to look around, and followed the team towards the main garden of Chuxiu Palace.

After arriving at Chuxiu Palace, the leading grandmother spoke:

"You guys have a good rest here. If someone is called by name, go out of the palace and follow the little yellow gate to the Funing Palace. ”

In order to save time, Zhao Yu directly set the location of the palace selection in the Funing Hall where he lived.

"I'll get it."

All the show girls replied in unison.

After finishing speaking, the grandmother led the palace maid and eunuch to retreat from the Chuxiu Palace.

Soon, there were only dozens of show girls left in this huge Chuxiu Palace.

Seeing this situation, the show girls also slowly relaxed, gathered together in twos and threes, and talked in a low voice, while quietly looking at their "competitors".

Zhou Jiamin originally wanted to lean over to talk, but was pulled by her sister Zhou Xian, so she had to sit quietly in her seat.

Soon, a show girl was called by her name, left Chuxiu Palace, and never came back.

The show girls in the hall gradually became scarce, and everyone unconsciously lost a lot of words.

"Zhou Xian, Zhou Jiamin!"

The grandmother entered the hall again and called out the names of the Zhou sisters, in addition to the names of the other three show girls.

"The five of you, go to the Funing Hall with Zhang Huangmen."

"Thank you for the mention."

Zhou Xian got up, thanked the other party, and Fang took his sister Zhou Jiamin, together with the other three, followed behind the little yellow door surnamed Zhang, and came to the Funing Palace.

"High Sable."

Xiao Huangmen, surnamed Zhang, saw Gao Lishi guarding outside the palace gate, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Thank you kid."

Nodding at the little yellow door, Gao Lishi Fang looked at the five show girls behind him, and said softly:

"Your Majesty is reviewing the recital inside, and when a few girls go in, be careful, don't make too much noise."

After that, he turned sideways to the side and said to the hall:

"Your Majesty!"

"Xuan!"

Zhao Yu's slightly tired voice came from the Funing Palace.

"Xuanxiu girl enters the palace!"

Colliers shouted.

The five show girls, bowing their heads and stepping forward, entered the Funing Palace, lined up, stood in front of the hall, and bowed to the figure in the middle of the hall.

"Courtiers see Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty all the best of luck and peace!"

Zhao Yu kept writing and painting on the song with the pen in his hand, and when he heard someone enter the hall, he raised his head, glanced at the five people, and said:

"Let's talk about each person's identity."

These show girls are picked one by one, just looking at their appearance, they can't even reach five or six out of ten of Yin Wanwan and Bai Qing'er's two daughters, which really makes Zhao Yu a little lacking in interest. Therefore, in the end, the attitude became more and more perfunctory, and even put most of his energy into the review and recitation.

"The courtier's daughter is Su Qiuxin, the daughter of Su Zhao, the prefect of Qiyang Mansion, who is sixteen years old."

"The courtier's daughter is Zhou Xian, the daughter of Zhou Rui, the left servant of the household department, and she is eighteen years old."

"The courtier's daughter is Zhou Jiamin, the daughter of Zhou Rui, the left attendant of the household department, and she is fifteen years old."

…………

The five of them reported their identities in turn.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu put down the red pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the five people, and asked:

"Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin, are you both the daughters of Zhou Shilang?"

"Your Majesty is in front of you, and the courtiers don't dare to hide anything."

Zhou Xian said.

At this time, Zhao Yu took a serious look at the second daughter.

After taking a closer look, Zhao Yu secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being a celebrity through the ages.

Sister Zhou Xian is tall and slender, almost seven feet tall, compared with Yin Wanwan, she is also indistinguishable, her face is quiet and elegant, with a strong bookish atmosphere, standing there, like a slim begonia; Sister Zhou Jiamin is only half a head shorter than her sister, but her posture is indistinguishable, and her black jade-like eyes have a slightly mischievous smile, which is even more lively and lively.

This week, the two sisters were still and moving, but they complemented each other quite well.

"The two sisters of the Zhou family should keep it."

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said lightly.

In this way, the two sisters of the Zhou family were led to a separate hall next to the Funing Hall by a small yellow gate sent by Gao Lishi, only to see that there were already three or four women standing inside. The two immediately understood that this was the person their sisters were going to get along with in the future.

However, after that, Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin found that no one had walked into this hall anymore, and they had a faint understanding in their hearts.

At this point, the draft of Yan Feng's first year has come to a complete end.

A total of six people were selected for this draft, and all of them were from the official palace of Shenjing.

The Shanggong Bureau in the palace is equipped with a nurturing grandmother, two big palace maids, and six small palace maids, and then escorted home by the celebrant and the palace guard, on the one hand, to learn the etiquette of the palace, and on the other hand, to wait for the canonization will.

Three days later, Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin finally returned to the Zhou Mansion.

As soon as the two got off the sedan chair, they saw their parents waiting in front of their house.

Zhou Xian stretched out his hand to support his mother He Shi, who wanted to salute, and Zhou Jiamin supported his father Zhou Rui.

Seeing the two daughters, He couldn't help it, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"My daughter, how come you are all chosen? This makes me feel at ease as a mother! ”

"Mother don't cry, my sister and I are fine, just rest assured." Zhou Xian comforted his mother while winking at his father.

Zhou Rui, who came back to his senses, hurriedly glared at his wife, and while instructing the housekeeper in the house to prepare a good table for the palace guards from the palace, he gave each of these people a heavy purse.

Cannibalism is the shortest, and taking people is short.

The nurturing grandmother ignored Fang Cai's rather rude words.

When Zhou Rui and He welcomed their two daughters into the room and heard them talk about what they had seen in the palace, Zhou Rui sighed after a long time:

"In the past, I heard people in the palace say that His Majesty has always been diligent in government, and he still has some unbelief in his father, but now when I hear Nan Nan say it in person, I realize that the rumors in the past are true. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you want to be the lord of the great Chu Zhongxing, and you have been sleeping all night, after your sisters enter the palace, you have to share your Majesty's worries more, and don't let Your Majesty worry about the affairs of the harem. ”

"Father, daughter saves."

Zhou Xian said softly, and then expressed his worries.

"It's just that the imperial concubine in the palace, as well as the Bai Zhaoyuan, I don't know what the temperament is, can I get along with my daughter?"

Zhou Rui laughed and said:

"What the Father says next, your sisters know in their hearts, don't mention it to others. The traitor has been executed, but His Majesty still keeps his daughter Huang Zixin in the palace, and even has endless favors, which shows that there must be something strange in it. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't say it, and it's not easy for these courtiers to speak, and everyone tacitly acknowledges each other. As for Bai Zhaoyuan, she used to be the maid next to the imperial concubine, but now she is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and there is a lot of thought in the middle. It's just that these things have nothing to do with your sisters, just remember not to conflict with them. Even if there is, not to mention the level of position, you have to endure it for the time being. ”

Zhou Xian's eyes showed a thoughtful look, nodded lightly, and said, "Father taught, daughter remembered." ”

"Xian'er, you are the most worry-free for me and your mother. As a father, I'm most worried about your sister's girl! ”

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Zhou Jiamin, who was acting like a good girl.

"You girl, you have entered the palace, don't mess around!"

"Okay, okay, the two girls are going to enter the palace, and they will be reprimanded by you old man." He Shi on the side opened his mouth and complained, "No matter how much you say, isn't it all for you, the father, to be sent to the palace?" ”

Choked by He's words and rolled his eyes, Zhou Rui took a long time to recover, and he didn't have a good breath:

"In the past few days, you accompany them more at home, prepare more gold and silver for them, enter the palace to attract some people by your side, and then pick a few clever girls in the house to prepare, so that the two girls can also have safe hands in the palace."

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

On this day, the two girls were learning the etiquette of the palace with their nurturing grandmother, and suddenly came forward to report that the holy decree of canonization had arrived.

"Zhou's Female ...... Shu cautious sexuality, diligent and supple, Yonghe pure, gentle sex, Ke Xian Neize, Shude Hanzhang, canonized as a beauty from the four grades, admire this! ”

From the four-grade beauty, this is even higher than Zhou Rui thought.

Since the founding of Taizu, the rank of the harem concubines has been extremely strict, and they are not allowed to be promoted without reason. The son of heaven in the six dynasties, how many low-ranking concubines, because they have no children and no favor, it is difficult to become a beauty in their lives.

As soon as his two daughters Zhou Rui entered the palace, they were beauties from the fourth grade, and the starting point can be said to be quite high.

There's one more chapter, and it's estimated that it's going to be late again...... Damn the rest, bring it back to Xiong Xiong!!
