Sometimes the palace is sunny

"Don't read it, you already saw it when you entered the palace yesterday."

In the early morning, a group of women wearing smoky blue silk jackets and lilac embroidered pediments stood in a row and walked south along the palace wall.

They all wear gauze caps on their heads, which are different from the hairpin flower gauze caps of official ladies. Their gauze caps are plain, but have a pink ribbon around them than men's gauze caps.

A thin and small woman couldn't help raising her head to look at the scenery on the left and right, and the companion behind her poked her gently with her hand.

"There are so many people coming and going, don't look around."

"I, I was, just to see." The woman turned her head and stammered, "I thought I was dreaming."

The woman behind her is a little taller than her, with an oval face, slender willow eyebrows, and an elegant and quiet appearance. When she saw that she actually stopped to talk, her tone became anxious:

"Follow quickly."

The woman in front hurriedly followed up with the hem of her clothes.

Walking all the way in front of a palace gate, the female officer leading the team glanced at the sun that had not yet risen, and told them to stop aside.

The thin woman who always looked up just now hastily turned around and apologized:

"I'm really sorry, I, I..."

"nothing."

The thin woman was really not a bold one. Seeing that her companion didn't want to talk to her, she shrank her neck and stood where she was.

After a while, the sound of saluting came from a distance.

The thin woman immediately raised her head and stepped on her feet: "Yes, is the queen empress here?"

The woman standing behind her sighed softly:

"Last night, the female official sent a message that the place where the empress saw us was Qianqing Palace. This is the Kunning Gate. The one who just entered is the imperial physician. The verandah of Kunning Palace is the imperial physician's duty station."

The thin woman turned around quickly and looked at her companion with a smile:
"Miss Lian, you are really amazing! You know so much."

Lian Moniang sighed softly:
"No matter how much I know, I'm not as good as you in the exam. Qi Xiaoxing, Qi Zhuangyuan, can you stand up more honestly?"

The thin woman immediately turned back.

"My lord, the thinner one is Qi Xiaoxing, the No. 1 female officer's pen-and-ink test. This year is nineteen, from Shandong. His parents died early. His grandmother was the eldest daughter of Marquis of Weiyuan. His grandfather yes……"

"Her grandfather was Qi Lingyun, the editor of the former History Museum, her father was also a Jinshi of the former dynasty, and her mother was also of extraordinary background, so why is she still unmarried at the age of 19?"

Xu Gongling has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, and she can remember the lives of hundreds of people in one night, especially Qi Xiaoxing is the No.1 this time.

"Qi Xiaoxing also has a younger brother. Her grandmother wanted to marry the niece of Mrs. Mi's natal family for her younger brother, so she wanted to marry Qi Xiaoxing back to the Marquis of Weiyuan. During the Northern Expedition, the Marquis of Weiyuan was convicted. This matter has been delayed. Knowing that her grandmother has a very high vision, even an ordinary family would not dare to come to ask for a marriage."

This was really euphemistic, Xu Xuan frowned slightly, and said:
"There is Xianghu Academy behind the Mi family, and he can marry Li Gelao. Weiyuanhou holds the military power and married his daughter into Shouanhou. Her grandmother regards her grandchildren as strange goods. It is bound to be exchanged for the lintel Guangyao. Then why can Qi Xiaoxing come to take the female officer exam?"

"Qi Xiaoxing climbed the wall to come out to take the exam. After the exam, he climbed back. The imperial decree of our good news came to the door, and the Qi family got the news."

"It's really grandma's plan for prosperity, and granddaughter's wall ladder... The one behind is No.2 this time? I remember her surname is Lian, Lian Moniang, the daughter of Lian Zhaowen, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy?"

"Exactly. Lian Moniang is 22 this year, married and has a three-year-old daughter."

"Her husband also wants her to take the female officer exam?"

"Returning to the palace order, she is the only daughter in the family, and her husband and son-in-law are recruiting."

Xu Xuan nodded.

He already had a plan in mind where the two of them would go.

Lian Moniang has learned from Shi Tongda that it is just right to go to Duanji Hall. As for Qi Xiaoxing...you can ask Shangyi Bureau if you want it.

Not the best, she can take it with her and teach it slowly.

"That woman is the only Wan Chuntao whose ancestors didn't come from an official?"

Xu Xuan looked towards the end of the line, there was a woman who looked rough at first glance, standing out among a group of well-born female officers.

Xu Xuan couldn't hold back, and looked at her a few more times.

Wan Chuntao is really not a beautiful girl, the lilac-colored embroidered bijia looks cramped everywhere on her body.

But it's just such a girl who was wrong in everything while standing in the palace, who actually got the first place in the test of Confucianism.

It is precisely because of this that even if she does not understand poetry and has no strengths, she was selected among the female officials.

"Gong Ling, this Wan Chuntao used to be a servant girl, but was kicked out of the mansion because of illness. Your Majesty said that this time, as long as she is selected for the female officer selection, she will be an official, so she came to take the exam."

"Being able to be admitted to a female official as a maid, this woman has perseverance. After a while, the empress will come to ask people everywhere after seeing these female officials. This Wan Chuntao must stay."

"...Yes, Xu Gongling."

Xu Xuan didn't keep this person for herself, His Majesty chose this one from a group of women's names to send her to the Imperial Palace, so she naturally had to do the same.

It's just that His Majesty asked her to clean up the matter, so that these female officials should not be tainted with fame just because they were in the harem and did nothing.

Naturally, she also wanted to figure it out slowly.

Qi Xiaoxing didn't know that his future was already being worried about, seeing a woman walking by in a red dress, her eyes widened.

"Didn't you say that the Duanji Palace is in Xiyuan? Why is there a Duanji Palace female official here?"

Behind her, Lian Mo Niang was a little impatient, but still said:
"Your Majesty gave some female officials to walk outside. This gentleman is wearing a red dress and should go to the sixth department. I just don't know why this female official is so young."

Wan Chuntao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Passing by in a red dress holding a stack of paperwork was Sheng Ling'er, the current director of the Procuratorate of Duanji Palace.

The sun gradually rises and shines on everyone.

The morning bird spreads its wings and flies away into the distance.

When a sparrow landed on a branch, the woman of a family just opened the window.

"Ma'am, the new embroidery pattern has arrived."

"Really? Show me."

He reached out to open a thin booklet, flipped through a few pages, and then the woman closed the booklet.

"In the past, everyone in the Jinxiu Club talked about books and dramas. How comfortable were they? Now, it's good, they are all about female officials and female officials! It's fine if Li Zhenjun is not here, and Shouyue Lord also writes poems and essays about women as officials. Disgusting."

After complaining, the woman put the booklet aside.

"Anyway, whoever the female officer likes to do, I will never do it. My family taught me poetry, calligraphy and painting, and let me grow up in such a luxurious way, not for the sake of showing my face in public and embarrassing the family. "

Siri Zhao: Isn't it?There are still people who think that they didn't become a female officer because they didn't want to, not because they couldn't pass the exam?

Large-scale waste of manuscripts may not be released tonight, everyone should go to bed early, and I wrote down the three-shift owed in a small notebook.
