Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 20

The names of Lu Wanning and Weng Xi were both in front, and their names were quickly read. Lu Wanning didn't respond when she heard her name, but Weng Xi frowned when she heard her name.

Xu Lingyan's name did not appear until the end of the name, but just when Xu Lingyan thought she was not selected, Eunuch Gao read her name.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyan immediately turned around and happily said to Lu Wanning, "Sister Lu, I can stay and see the palace selection."

Lu Wanning was also happy for her, and said with a smile, "I heard that, congratulations."

"Hey." Xu Lingyan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Lu too, I thought I was hopeless, who would have thought that I would actually stay here."

Xu Lingyan was happy when a mocking voice came from beside him, "Look at you, you have never seen the world, but you just stayed here temporarily. I don't know if the palace will be able to stay in the end. As for being so happy?" ?”

The speaker was wearing a fiery red dress, his facial features were bright and flamboyant, his chin was slightly raised, and his face was full of arrogance. He was Cui Ru, the General Dingyuan's mansion who had just read his name.

People who were as happy as Xu Lingyan were a little stiff when they heard Cui Ru's words, and they didn't know whether they should continue to be happy.

The smile on Xu Lingyan's face faded away, and he said seriously: "I'm not like Ms. Cui, I'm sure I'll be selected for the palace selection, and it's a surprise to be able to stay until now, so it's normal to be happy."

Cui Ru was very satisfied with the compliment in Xu Lingyan's words. Hearing that she didn't want to find fault with Xu Lingyan any more, she said very proudly: "You have vision." She turned and left.

As soon as Cui Ru left, everyone stopped suppressing their emotions. They were happy and sad, and they really answered the sentence: some families are happy and others are sad.

Lu Wanning glanced at Xu Lingyan and said with a smile, "Sister Xu, you are really smart."

Just now Lu Wanning was thinking about whether to help her, how to help her?She never thought that she could easily solve the matter by herself.

Xu Lingyan smiled, and whispered to Lu Wanning: "It's much easier to deal with a lady like Miss Cui who is self-reliant and arrogant. I used to use this trick to deal with my father's boss' daughter before, and I have long been familiar with it."

After noon, the beautiful women whose names were not pronounced were sent out of the palace one after another, and the overcrowded Chuxiu Palace suddenly became empty.

However, apart from Lu Rui, who was sent out halfway, Lu Wanning and the others were in this room, and there were not one of the other three people missing.

After that, they stayed in the palace for another two days, and finally it was the day of the palace selection.

Fifty beautiful girls who have been selected through layers are waiting outside the Chongyao Hall together.

As the eunuchs read the names of all the beautiful girls around her, went in and left, Lu Wanning also became nervous.

After finally hearing her own name, Lu Wanning took a deep breath before walking gracefully into the Chongyao Palace, "My daughter Lu Wanning kowtowed to the emperor, empress dowager, empress empress."

"Pingshen." A deep and mellow voice sounded.

After thanking Lu Wanning, she got up and stood there in a well-behaved manner, not daring to look up at Shengyan.

"You are the girl from Zhongyonghou's mansion, the younger sister of the imperial concubine, right? Raise your head and let the Ai family take a look." The empress dowager's voice was kind and majestic.

Lu Wanning slowly raised her head as she said.

The queen Lin Ruoxue, who was also sitting high on the head, was slightly dazed the moment Lu Wanning raised her head, but before anyone noticed, her expression returned to dignified atmosphere, and she smiled at the queen mother and emperor Luo Chengjing: "It's a good thing that you are a loyal and brave man." The girl from the mansion, with this appearance, is even more charming and charming than the imperial concubine back then, she is really ashamed of Tao Li Rang, she is more charming than Hua Jiao."

The queen mother nodded when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "The queen is right. The little girl is really good-looking. The Ai family also likes it very much. This person likes good-looking little girls when he is old."

Luo Chengjing said, "Since the mother and the queen both like it, then let's stay."

Lu Wanning hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor, "I thank the emperor, empress dowager, empress empress."

After Lu Wanning came out of the Chongyao Palace, her legs were a little weak. Although she had entered the palace several times before, she always followed everyone behind to meet the queen mother and queen. This was the first time she met the emperor alone. The queen mother, the queen, and the three of them were almost out of breath by the majesty of the three of them.

As for the face of the emperor, she didn't dare to look at it at all, but the voice of the emperor is quite nice, so it shouldn't look too bad, right?
Forget it, don't care, it's already reached this point anyway, even if the emperor is ugly and ugly, she has no way out.

Smiling at Xu Lingyan who saw her coming out and gave her a questioning look, Lu Wanning returned to Chuxiu Palace again.

After participating in the palace selection, if the show girls are selected, they will continue to stay in Chuxiu Palace to wait for the imperial decree to be conferred. Only after the imperial decree is issued can they move into their own palace.

And if the palace chooses a show girl who is not selected, then they can pack up their things and leave the palace to go home.

Not a while after Lu Wanning sat down in the residence, Weng Qian and Xu Lingyan came back one after the other. Although Weng Qian's expression was still cold, just by looking at the look in her eyes, she knew that she must also be selected.

Xu Lingyan came in after Weng Qian, with a smile on her face, as if she was about to faint with happiness.

Seeing her like this, just as Lu Wanning was about to congratulate her, Xu Lingyan said cheerfully: "Sister Lu, I finally saw the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager. This trip to the palace is really worth it, even though I I was not selected in the end, but I really have no regrets in this life to know you, to meet the emperor and the empress dowager, empress dowager."

Lu Wanning's congratulatory words got stuck in her throat. There are not many show girls who can be so happy without being selected, right?

The Yong Dynasty did not force women of the right age to participate in the draft, and those who were willing to participate in the draft basically came with the mentality of hoping to be selected.

Xu Lingyan didn't notice Lu Wanning's expression, and after talking to herself, she said to Lu Wanning: "Sister Lu, you must have been selected, right? I'll congratulate my sister here first, but it's a pity that my sister will stay in the palace in the future , it will be difficult for us to see each other.”

Before Lu Wanning could speak, Xu Lingyan changed his voice, and said again: "But even if Sister Lu was not selected to stay in the palace, Zhongyonghou's mansion is in the capital, and my family is in Yongning mansion. If we say goodbye today, it will be difficult to think about seeing each other again later."

While talking, Xu Lingyan's eyes were red, she hugged Lu Wanning and said, "Sister Lu, I can't bear you."

A little bit of reluctance also rose in Lu Wanning's heart, she also hugged Xu Lingyan, and said softly: "Maybe we will have a chance to see you again in the future."

"What chance is there?" Xu Lingyan said with tears.
