The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 8 Entering the Palace
On the morning of the first day of April, when the sky was just showing a little white, two small blue sedan chairs came to the palace.Even today is the day of the official draft. Whether it's the private selection of the show girls or the show girls from aristocratic families, they all enter the palace today, and they will be selected together on the fifth day of April.

Gu Panfu was sitting in a small blue-topped sedan chair. This sedan chair was really small, barely able to fit her alone. The curtains of the sedan chair were so thick that no light could penetrate.Gu Panfu simply closed her eyes, remembering what the old lady said.

Two days ago, the old lady asked her to talk alone, Gu Panfu entered the main room of Deoksugin, and after greeting the old lady, the old lady let her sit down.The old lady's dark eyes have been looking at her since she entered the room, and Gu Panfu just didn't know it. She was a little nervous, but she was more able to calm down.Gu Panfu just sat quietly, letting the old lady look at her, and even gave the old lady a cute smile.

The old lady raised her eyebrows, and said firstly: "It seems that my old bone sometimes misjudged people."

When Gu Panfu heard this, she only smiled slightly, and raised her head to look into the old lady's eyes: "I made grandma laugh."

The old lady laughed, took a sip of the tea in her hand and said, "I have observed you these days, and I have seen that you have a calm temper and a delicate mind. If you want to enter the palace, you are more suitable than the fourth girl." After finishing speaking, She looked at Gu Panfu again, not missing any expression on her face.

Gu Panfu thought to herself, the old lady seemed to be talking with her sincerely, but in fact she was mostly probing. "Grandmother was joking. The granddaughter and the fourth younger sister are both daughters of the Hou family. The fourth younger sister is just more lively." She didn't pick up on the old lady's words, and she was still gentle and gentle.

"Forget it, I'll tell you clearly if I have something to say, and it's boring to go around those detours." Seeing that she was unmoved, the old lady also understood that this granddaughter is not easy to fool. "Your grandfather and I are between you and the fourth girl, and I still prefer you to enter the palace. The emperor's harem is empty, and there are only a few empresses from Qiandi in the palace. This draft is only for our Anyang Houfu and the emperor's biological mother's natal family Gongqin The lady of the uncle's house is a daughter of an aristocratic family, and the emperor will definitely let the daughters of these two families be selected."

Gu Panfu's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words, she knew about Uncle Gongqin's residence, the emperor's biological mother was the late emperor's poppies, and his father only edited from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy.

The Yu family was born extremely beautiful, and the late emperor also doted on her for a while, but because of her low birth, she was able to achieve the status of a beauty.Later, the emperor was born, and he couldn't raise him by himself, so Xie Xiao was brought up by the then empress and the current queen mother.It's a pity that Mei Yu's life is poor, and Xie Xiao died of illness before she could sit on the crown prince.After Xie Xiao ascended the throne, he conferred the title of his biological mother, the Yu family, as Empress Wenxian, and gave his ancestral family a title of earl.

What surprised Gu Panfu was that this was the first draft since the emperor ascended the throne, and there were so few daughters from aristocratic families participating in the draft.And why is the old lady so sure that the emperor will let girls from these two families be selected.

She suddenly remembered the newly promulgated decree last year and thought about it for a while.I understand that although the emperor has weakened the power of the family, he has no intention of killing them all.Besides, there will be daughters of other ministers' families in this draft. Selecting daughters from aristocratic families into the palace is not only intended to appease but also balance the harem.It's a pity that the aristocratic family was frightened by the emperor's methods, and they didn't dare to stand out. The status of the Yu family is naturally different.

Gu Panfu has to admit that Jiang is still old and hot, and Old Hou Ye is still courageous.

Seeing that she could understand in such a short time, the old lady squinted her eyes. It is a good thing that her granddaughter is smart, but she is just afraid that she will not be able to control her well.

"I know you have your own thoughts in your heart, and your grandfather and I both understand. It's those of us who are elders who are negligent, but you have to understand that your surname is Gu, and you can only be tied to the Gu family from birth. What." The old lady sat up straight, her expression became serious, and her tone became a little more solemn.

She understands that with Gu Panfu's intelligence and personality, what to say to make up for it will only make Gu Panfu disgusted, it is safer to make this family relationship a community of interests.

Gu Panfu lowered her eyes, she wanted to fight for herself, and it was better to have the help of Hou Fu than to struggle by herself.It's just that she had her own considerations in her heart, but at this moment she stood up and gave the old lady a serious blessing: "Grandmother, please rest assured, the granddaughter understands."

The old lady nodded, temporarily relieved.Of course it would be best to cooperate with the kind Ken. Aunt Sun is still in the mansion, so she is not afraid of Gu Panfu's separation.

"My lord, I've arrived, please get off the sedan chair, my lord." The voice of the accompanying maid came from outside. During the election period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to accompany each person, and each person was accompanied by a rough envoy.And after entering the palace, the show girls will be called little masters, and only with status can they be regarded as serious masters.

When Gu Panfu got off the sedan chair, she found that besides her and Gu Panxin, there was only one girl in a plain dress standing in the distance at the gate of the palace. Seeing them getting off the sedan chair, she looked over from a distance.

The palace maid who spoke just now stepped forward to take the burden from Gu Panfu's hands, and then greeted Gu Panfu: "My servant Qin Yu has seen the young master."

Gu Panfu lowered her head and glanced at the court lady. She looked quite stable at a young age, so she raised her hand to signal her to get up: "Miss, please come up." She also took two taels of silver from her purse as a reward. "Thank you, my servant, for the reward." Qin Yu generously accepted the reward, stood beside Gu Panfu, and helped her walk to the aunt in charge standing at the gate of the palace.

Qin Yu quietly glanced at Gu Panfu, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, she thought that the little master would ask her some questions, but unexpectedly, she didn't say a word.

She pursed her lips, wondering if she should take the initiative to say something.After hesitating for a while, she spent almost all her savings this time to serve the new young lord who entered the palace. She wanted to fight for a way out for herself, and she didn't want to be a rough envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make people shout around. "My lord, the other lords all go through another palace gate. Only the lords from aristocratic families can go through this palace gate. After a while, my aunt will take the lords to Chuxiu Palace. My lord and another young lord Gu will go back to Chuxiu Palace." Young master Yu will live in the front hall, and other young masters will live in the back hall."

Gu Panfu had already guessed in her heart that the girl in plain clothes and skirts was Miss Yu's family, and she also noticed Qin Yu's sneaky look at her.She hooked her lips and didn't care. Seeing Qin Yu's initiative to speak, she also nodded and accepted her kindness with a smile.

Gu Panfu walked towards the gate of the palace and saw the face of this young lady of the Yu family. The young lady of the Yu family was named Qianyue, and she sounded gentle and quiet, but her appearance was not like that.

Yu Qianyue's appearance is quite gorgeous and looks very aggressive.Even the very plain makeup and dress can't hide the sharpness between her eyebrows and eyes, but there is a sense of disobedience.

Gu Panfu Gu Panxin greeted the nanny in charge, Yu Qianyue kept a cold face, and even snorted coldly when she saw Gu Panfu's appearance clearly.Gu Panfu didn't bother to pay attention to her. In terms of title, Anyang Marquis Mansion is higher than the Yu Family's Gongqin Mansion.As for the identity of the emperor's cousin, the empress in the harem is also the emperor's cousin, who in this full harem can be higher than the empress except the empress dowager.

Gu Panxin pursed her lips. It's not because she and Gu Panfu have a good relationship, but simply can't understand Yu Qianyue's demeanor. What is the background of the Yu family? Is it because there is an emperor in the family?

"The old slave has met all the young masters. After a while, the old slave will take the young masters to the Chuxiu Palace. Until the fifth day of the lunar new year, the young masters will live in the front hall of the Chuxiu Palace. If the masters in the palace have no special The young masters are not allowed to step out of the Chuxiu Palace. In addition, the old servants will always serve in the Chuxiu Palace during this period. If the young masters have other needs or questions, they can come to the old servants." Seeing that they were all here, Mammy bowed and turned sideways to lead them the way.

The three of them walked into the palace gate with the nanny in charge. Gu Panfu stepped over the high threshold and looked at the endless palace road ahead, feeling a little unexplainable fear in her heart.She squeezed her fingertips, suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and did not look back at the slowly closing palace gate.

The nanny in charge talked to them about the rules of the palace while walking, but fortunately, this palace road was specially reserved for beautiful women entering the palace, and there were no people there.

Suddenly, Yu Qianyue interrupted the mother in charge, and asked, "may I ask, can I live in a room by myself?"

The nanny in charge was interrupted, paused, looked at Yu Qianyue in surprise, but still replied: "Back to the little master, every little master is alone in a room."

After hearing this, Yu Qianyue didn't look satisfied, but frowned and kept silent.

The nanny in charge stopped talking, and the palace road became silent.Yu Qianyue frowned even tighter, with anger on her face, she secretly scolded the old slave for being so rude, and she would make her look good when she entered the palace.

After entering Chuxiu Palace, Gu Panfu and Gu Panxin were assigned to the east wing of the front hall, and Yu Qianyue was assigned to the west wing of the front hall.The layout of Chuxiu Palace is different from other palaces. It is divided into front hall, middle hall and back hall.There is no surrounding side hall, a straight line goes down, it seems to be a big house with several entrances and exits.The front hall and the nave are relatively close, and the nave and apse are separated by a small garden and a small pond.

When Yu Qianyue heard that she lived alone in the West Wing, the anger on her face subsided a little, showing a bit of complacency.The nanny in charge still looked calm and bent her knees slightly: "Everyone is tired from the journey, you can take a short rest, and breakfast will be delivered later. The rest of the time, the masters can make their own arrangements, and the old slaves will wait in front of the hall , the young masters can order the old slaves at any time."

As soon as the words of the nanny in charge fell, Yu Qianyue flung her sleeves and left.Gu Panfu smiled and said thank you, and also entered the East Wing.Gu Panxin, on the other hand, stepped forward and pulled up the nurse in charge very enthusiastically, said some good things, and stuffed money.Gu Panfu just pretended not to know that Gu Panxin's old problem was repeated, so why didn't she have a long memory.

There are five rooms in the East Wing. Gu Panfu chose the room on the east side. This room is sunny and spacious.Just as Gu Panfu was about to enter the room, she heard Gu Panxin calling her from behind, and she turned around looking for the sound.I saw Gu Panxin standing at the door of the middle room, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Gu Panfu turned around: "What's the matter with the fourth sister?"

"My younger sister chose the middle room, will the third sister not mind?" Gu Panxin asked her pretending to be innocent.

Gu Panfu raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. She didn't quite understand Gu Panxin's brain circuit.

Seeing that she was silent, Gu Panxin continued with a slightly provocative tone: "Third sister, we are real sisters. We need to help each other when we enter the palace, right?"

Gu Panfu just looked at her like that, Gu Panxin started to feel a little uncomfortable after watching for a long time, and then she suddenly smiled: "Fourth sister is so sure, sister is here to congratulate you first." After finishing speaking, she turned and went into the room.

Gu Panxin stood there by herself, not easy to get angry, her face turned red and white, and she took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger.
