Chapter 23 On the Road
At this time, the gate of the palace, which has always been clean, is crowded with people and traffic, just like the image of a busy city.

All the family ladies from the whole capital gathered together, those who usually don’t go out all came today, some of them brought their maids to sit in sedan chairs, some not only sat in sedan chairs by themselves, but also brought seven or eight attendants to coax them along the way. Walkers, how prestige!

However, there are pairs of eyes in the dark that record everything they do, and disappear when they reach the gate of the palace.

"Empress, this is what Miss Li has done along the way."

"Empress, these are the words and deeds of the Liu family's Qianjin Road."

A letter with a detailed behavior report was divided into categories and placed on the table next to the queen, namely the type of doing nothing, the type of good people and good things, and the type of bad people and bad things.

The queen didn't even look at it, she pointed at the reports of bad people and bad things:
"For this palace, clear this bunch of people from the list, and then it will not be considered when it comes to royal marriages and the like."

The eunuch Gong'e on the side hurriedly registered the names of the pile of names, waiting for them to be written and stored.

A little eunuch asked in a low voice to the older maid next to him:
"This thing belongs to manpower, shouldn't it be handed over to the household department?"

The maid first glanced at the queen secretly, and then said:
"Stupid! The forces outside the palace are intertwined, and the small household department is not enough for these ladies to toss about. This list has entered the household department, and it takes only a long time for the whole capital to know!"

The little eunuch shivered and stopped talking.

The empress had some consideration for calling the ladies of the capital into the palace this time.

First, let's take a look at the Zhang Xuan mentioned by his second son, who has been in the limelight in the capital recently, and see what kind of girl she is.

Then he showed his other two sons to see if there was a suitable daughter's home.

But it's just a look, after all, marrying the royal family is not just a matter of seeing each other, it is only possible if you have a superior family background, intelligence, and appearance.

Finally, the queen is a little short on money. (This is the main reason!)——
Zhang Xuan sat in the sedan chair, but her thoughts drifted away with the wind coming in from the small window.

She was a little homesick.

I really don't know how the protagonists in those novels can completely forget about their previous life, people they know, and things they have done after they travel through time.

Anyway, Zhang Xuan couldn't do it.

She did Liu Jinghong's gymnastics in her room recently in the evening, and she went to take a shower and go to bed until she was sweating profusely and had no energy.

This is not only a habit left by her previous life, but also makes her fall asleep faster.

But before falling asleep, her brain kept playing movies to her.

Movies I've experienced.

The strange thing is that I obviously have the facts and equipment given by the system - the memory hall, and I should remember everything I have experienced clearly, but the brainstorming before going to sleep is just some third-person perspectives, play to something that doesn't exist in my memory.

That's right, it doesn't use Zhang Xuan's own subjective perspective as the narrative object, but is more similar to God's perspective.

This kind of situation also appeared after Zhang Xuan traveled to this ancient time and space. Before that, in modern times, it was purely due to insomnia and internal friction.

Memories are like a series. Before falling asleep in the past two days, what her brain played to her was the beginning when she opened her eyes and saw the world.

And Zhang Xuan is not an experiencer this time, but a bystander.

What's more, in fact, she still sees this as a movie. She thinks it's quite interesting to review her life in modern times in this way.

The rhythm is very fast, and in just two nights, my life has already played to enter the orphanage.

Through the perspective of God, Zhang Xuan saw many things that he had never noticed before.
-
"Miss, there's a lot of traffic ahead, why don't we get down and go!"

Chuntao built a pergola with her hands, stood by the sedan chair and looked forward.

"Well"

Zhang Xuan was still a little dazed, knowing that he was approaching, he gently lifted the curtains of the sedan chair.

People came and went, and many vendors were hawking non-stop. Seeing this business opportunity, they called their wives and children to come over, carrying baskets and pots with goods and yelling.

Only then did Zhang Xuan feel that the outside was very lively and noisy, and she couldn't help but wonder how she fell asleep.

After getting off the sedan chair, I told the bearer to go to rest first, and then walked forward with Chuntao.

The tall and majestic palace gate is not far away, about 1000 meters away.

As they walked, Zhang Xuan found that there were not only servants and young ladies who were walking in the same direction as them, but also those who were running in the opposite direction and kept going out, which was a bit confusing.

Apparently she was not the only one who didn't know why, and the lady next to her kept chattering about buying this or that, so the servants were asked to ask.

After the servant came back, when he explained, his voice was loud and he didn't avoid the person. Zhang Xuan heard it clearly.

It turned out that there were too many ladies in the capital, and the harem couldn't accommodate them. Now the Imperial Garden and the Empress's Compassionate Palace basically have three steps and one person. The little eunuch next to the Empress thought of a way.

It's similar to the modern variety show audition, each lady lined up, took turns to meet the queen, and sent servants to put them on the outer courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace.Then one of them said auspicious words to the queen, and they could leave directly.

The doors of the beauties in the harem are all closed, and they have more thoughts in their hearts.

Are you really choosing a concubine for the prince?Maybe it is, but do you need it in a hurry? Use it.

But it's not urgent now, it's when it's really time to decide on one or several candidates, and then it's the urgent time for these people to play tricks.

At that time, I will spend money, invite banquets, give heavy gifts, etc., to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement.

Now?

Did hundreds of girls outside send them here?
Zhang Xuan was very happy, but it would be too troublesome if he went to the Ministry of Rites to learn the etiquette of meeting queens and concubines.

Thinking of this, the pace even became brisk.

Chuntao followed Zhang Xuan closely, relying on her petite body, the two moved quickly along the gap between the vendor's shop and the wall.

Not long after, it has arrived.

After verifying their identities and receiving the gift list, a little eunuch came over and took Zhang Xuan and several other ladies who arrived almost at the same time, turned left and right, and finally turned to a garden.

The garden was almost full of people, all of them were family ladies dressed in different styles.

To Zhang Xuan's surprise, there are so many people here who keep talking, but they are like Yingying and Yanyan, and they are not noisy.

Turning my head to look at the young lady who was following me and asking the reason for the retrograde on the road, I found that she behaved generously at the moment, with a gentle smile on her mouth, and whispered hello to people she knew.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help nodding, that's all (liao), it should be said that the ladies in the capital are all well-educated, and their acting is better than her, a time traveler.

Seeing people keep looking at me, one by one from head to toe, and then from clothes to exposed skin, the smiles on their faces are constant, but the eyes are clearly questioning Zhang Xuan, walking posture, and the way he moves his hands. Put the position and so on.

Sister Xuan'er was unmoved, she didn't need to use master-level acting skills with side effects for the sake of these people's opinions.

Seeing Zhang Xuan ignoring them, the young ladies gathered together looked at each other, two of them walked slowly, and the younger one said:
"Hey, which family's daughter is this sister, what's the matter? Haven't seen her yet?"
