Seeing Long Shaowu's appearance of a smug villain, Shi Yingluo was so angry that her face was frosty, but now that Long Shaowu had brought the inner guards, she really didn't dare to be tough.

At this time, Liu Xu'er knew that she couldn't implicate Shi Yingluo, so she stood up and said to Long Shaowu: "The surname Long, don't be complacent! We don't dare to disobey the holy decree, but you yourself know what is going on." I'll go with you, don't embarrass Sister Yingluo!"

Long Shaowu laughed and said: "Of course! Miss Shi is the daughter of Xiangguo, how dare I, Long Shaowu, be disrespectful! Okay, then follow me!"

Liu Yu'er said to Shi Yingluo with tears: "Sister Yingluo, you have to take care of yourself, this time when you enter the palace, you and I can't see each other often, thank you for helping me!"

Shi Yingluo's tears were also rolling, seeing her good sister enter the deep palace, how could she not be sad! Nodding, Shi Yingluo choked up and said: "Su'er, you have to be careful yourself, the palace is not as good as at home, every step is a crisis, if there is any difficulty, you can ask someone to find me!"

The two said goodbye like this, and countless viewers couldn't help but cry sadly.

Peony was also extremely sympathetic to Liu Yu'er, she wiped a handful of tears, and said to Ling Lingqi: "Seventh brother, Miss Liu is so pitiful! It's a pity that we can't help her, alas!"

Ling Lingqi naturally knew what was going on with this kind of draft girl, the royal family selected beautiful and high-quality women from the people to serve the emperor and the royal family through formal and standardized channels. The system of selection was the first in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Prior to this, the imperial courts of successive dynasties enriched the harem, or forcibly seized or selected, the time was uncertain, the rules were different, and the arbitrariness was very strong.

However, the demands of the various dynasties are not uniform. During the Three Kingdoms, Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, requested, "Brief reading at the age of fifteen or sixteen"; During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Qi Dynasty required to be over 14 years old and under 20 years old; Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang required to be over 15 years old, under 20 years old, and the minimum could not be less than 13 years old. Generally speaking, over 13 years old is around the time of menarche, which is the age of the flowering season, and girls of this age are in line with the emperor's mentality.

At that time, all the girls who were photographed were beautiful, and they were all dragged to the harem by car for selection. After choosing, it is necessary to make another selection, mainly for physiological examination, to see if it is a virgin, whether there are physical defects, and to pick out the most beautiful girl for the emperor's luck.

In the ancient courts, except for the Qing Dynasty, which partially implemented the retirement system of palace maids, the palace maids of other dynasties were all lifelong. The palace ladies were elected to the palace at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and faced cumbersome etiquette, strict rules, occasional humiliation and endless loneliness. They can't get married, they can't start a family, they can only serve for life, and then die of old age in the palace.

The poem "Shangyang White-haired Man" by the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty vividly describes the resentment and helplessness of the palace maid who is locked in the deep palace and the passage of youth: Shangyang people, red-faced, dark-old, white-haired and new. The green-clothed prison envoy guards the palace gate, and once the sun is closed, how many springs are there. Xuanzong was selected at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and he entered the sixteenth and sixtyth of the year. At the same time, more than 100 people were selected, and they were deeply disabled in the past few years.

Ling Lingqi could only sympathize, after all, in this era, there are many beauties with such a fate, who can save them?

Ling Lingqi sighed and said, "Peony, we can't help her!

Long Shaowu laughed and took Liu Yu'er away, at this time Shi Yingluo found that the two people just now were a little familiar, and when she looked at it again, she recognized Ling Lingqi coming. Although Ling Lingqi has become taller and more handsome now, his basic appearance has not changed.

Shi Yingluo was also excited in her heart, the shadow of Ling Lingqi often appeared in her mind in the past five years, and she didn't know why, in short, she just remembered this young knight.

Ling Lingqi looked at the frost woman Shi Yingluo in front of her in surprise, met those eyes, felt the unprecedented clarity, the impetuousness and nervousness in her heart were suddenly swept away, and she nodded with relief.

With Shi Yingluo's encouragement, Ling Lingqi walked up to her and said politely: "It turned out to be Shi Nuxia, it's really a blessing!"

Ling Lingqi's sudden change, Shi Yingluo couldn't help but glance at Ling Lingqi, hurriedly lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Ah, Ling Shaoxia, didn't you lose your footing with Miss Qiu Susu?

Ling Lingqi smiled slightly, her mood slowly calmed down, and she took the initiative to talk to Shi Yingluo, and she was generous, and the peony girl also came over and gathered beside Ling Lingqi, after all, she was Ling Lingqi's woman.

If in normal times, with Ling Lingqi's current state of mind, there will be no nervousness; Shi Yingluo is excellent, but she is still not as good as the Ethereal Fairy or Murong Yan in terms of appearance, but this girl has a special identity, she is not only a famous heroine in the rivers and lakes, but also the daughter of Xiangguo.

Shi Yingluo suddenly said: "Ling Shaoxia, I want to ask you for a favor, I don't know if it's okay?"

Ling Lingqi nodded and said, "As long as Ling can do it, of course there is no problem." Five years ago, you also helped me and saved my senior brother, although in the end my senior brother was killed by the people of Daqimen, but this favor I have always remembered. ”

Shi Yingluo thought to herself, did you just remember this favor and didn't remember me? Of course, she is not easy to show now.

Looking at the gorgeous peony girl on the side, Shi Yingluo knew that there would definitely be no shortage of women around Ling Lingqi, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but said: "The girl Liu Wei'er just now is my friend, she was selected as a show girl, but in the inspection before entering the palace, she met Long Shaowu, a big villain. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Yingluo was also afraid that the people next to him would hear it, so she put her cherry lips to Ling Lingqi's ear and said: "Long Shaowu, this bastard is in charge of the show girl's affairs, and wants to be rude to Liu Wu'er, so Liu Wu'er took the opportunity to escape and meet me here." But I can't save her, I just hope that she can escape Long Shaowu's clutches and enter the palace smoothly. Now my identity is not very convenient to go, I don't know if Ling Shaoxia is willing to help me, secretly protect Liu Xu'er, I am afraid that Long Shaowu will treat her badly again. ”

Ling Lingqi only felt that her ears were itchy, Shi Yingluo exhaled like an orchid, the breath of youth came from the surface, the girl's light body fragrance was refreshing, and the exhalation was like an orchid, which was refreshing. I felt that this fragrance rushed into his nose, making his mind open and refreshing, this fragrance was fragrant, especially uplifting, he had never felt this way, maybe this was the unique body fragrance of Frost Woman, he had never smelled the fragrance.

Seeing Ling Lingqi's appearance of being a god, Peony pinched the soft flesh on his waist fiercely, and Ling Lingqi hurriedly said, "Okay, Miss Shi, I promise you." ”

Shi Yingluo saw that the peony pinched Ling Lingqi, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, and this peony girl, this matter will be entrusted to you." I'll take you to that place. ”
