Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 1
On March 48, the [-]th year of Kangxi's reign, after the crown prince was restored, the triennial draft began again.

The beautiful women took advantage of the night and slowly entered Di'anmen on a mule cart. On a mule cart in the center of the convoy, a young girl with a delicate appearance clutched a purse tightly in her small hands. In the purse was a 100 taels. of banknotes.

This was given to me by my wet nurse before I went to bed last night. I and my wet nurse had saved it with great effort while doing needlework.

What the nanny said to her before going to bed yesterday came to Wanxian's mind.

"Miss, the draft is your only chance. A few days ago, my wife and the Third Master mentioned that when you give up your name in the draft, you will be married to my madam's stupid nephew. No matter what, you must keep your name, even if it is It's fine to be a concubine, but Madam will never let you go. The Miss Talent Show is your only way out. As long as you keep your sign, you can escape Madam's control." The wet nurse said while looking at Wanxian wiping her tears. .My poor lady.

"I understand, wet nurse. I will definitely try my best to leave a sign."

I think of Jili Lunza whom my stepmother saw when she took me back to her natal home at the beginning of the year. At the age of 22, he has the temperament and strong body of a seven or eight-year-old child.He whipped the maid next to him with a whip at every turn, until the skin and flesh were torn.

Wanxian trembled when she thought about it, clutching her purse tightly and cheering herself up.

"Guarjia Wanxian, your life depends on this moment. You can definitely do it."

"The Shenwu Gate has arrived, please get ready. When the palace gate opens, please get off the car and walk into the palace gate." A leading eunuch outside the mule cart shouted loudly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a eunuch shouted: "The palace door has been opened. Please get out of the car and enter the palace door."

Wanxian hurriedly got off the mule cart and straightened her flag and attire.

This is the best, tightest and most comfortable piece of clothing she has ever worn. The clothes she wore in the past were all made of the worst fabrics chosen by her stepmother and left to be made in random styles by her servants.

When you go out to be a guest, you will be given some good clothes to wear. When you come back from the visit, you will take the clothes away.

Sometimes my cousin couldn't stand it, and would secretly give her some inconspicuous fabrics when she returned to her parents' home. Wanxian and her nanny could only secretly make some close-fitting clothes to wear.I was saved by my stepmother who saw me causing trouble for my cousin.

"Master Guarjia, please line up behind Master Barda." A young eunuch said.

Wanxian looked at Little Master Barda and said a blessing. "Little Master Barda, you are blessed."

"My dear Master Gualja, long blessings to you." Barda Baozhu replied with a long blessing.

"My young masters, please line up and enter the palace gate." A leading eunuch stroked the fly whisk in his hand and shouted loudly.

Before they could say anything more, a group of beautiful ladies spontaneously lined up and, led by the aunt in charge, slowly walked into the palace gate.

After walking slowly for almost two-quarters of an hour, we arrived at Shunzhen Gate. It was now bright.The surrounding scenery can be seen clearly. It is indeed the place where the Supreme Being of the World is located. It is just the outer periphery, but it is already solemn and majestic.

"My young masters, in front of you is the Tiyuan Hall, which is where you meet the Long Live Lord and the queens of the palaces. I would like to kindly remind you that this is a happy event that honors our ancestors. The honor of your family will last for many generations. It’s already today, so don’t cause trouble. I can’t say disrespectful words here. No matter how noble your little masters are at home, they are just slaves in this palace. I, my slaves, can give it to you first. Please say hello to me, it will save you some of my mistresses from being ignorant." Liu Sanping, Eunuch Liu said.All the beautiful women saluted in unison and said, "Thank you so much for your teachings. I will remember your teachings."

Wanxian saluted, feeling even more frightened and worried.If you are so strict, how can you leave a mark?

"I also ask all the young masters to rest in the Jingyi Pavilion in front of the Tiyuan Hall. The nurturing aunt will call out, in groups of five, to come to see Long Live Long Live. I will wish all the young masters a bright future and prosperity here. ." After Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he led the beautiful ladies to the Jingyi Pavilion to rest.

When she arrived at Jingyixuan, she followed Eunuch Liu's instructions. Wanxian sat on the embroidered pier and listened quietly to the gossips of the beautiful ladies.

"Today is the draft for our Manchu Army Banner, tomorrow it is the draft for the Mongolian Army Banner, and the next day, the show girls of the Han Army Banner will come to the audience."

"Have you heard about it? Nian Shuangyun, the daughter of Nian Xialing, the governor of Huguang in the Han Army Banner, is 15 years old this year. They said that she is extremely beautiful."

"It doesn't matter how beautiful she is. After all, she's just a member of the Han Army, so she can still ride on the head of our Manchu aunt."

"That is, among the ladies in the palace who are concubines and above, except for Concubine Rong, which one has the origin of Han Junqi."

"You can't say that. After all, Nian Shuangyun's Ama is the governor of Huguang and holds a high position. There are countless people who want to curry favor with her Ama."

"You all should stop talking. Have you forgotten what Eunuch Liu told you earlier? Stop talking nonsense. By then your family will have lost all their dignity for three or four lifetimes." Fucha Wenzhu shouted: "You can't stop talking. Forgot, this is a palace, and the walls have ears."

Fucha Wenzhu is the best Manchurian flag show girl from her family in this draft.

Wanxian listened silently, holding her purse tightly in her hands and praying.

The great benevolent and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, the gods and Buddhas that fill the sky.Please bless Wanxian, even if it means asking a member of the clan to be my concubine, Wanxian will accept her fate.As long as she doesn't go back and be rubbed by her stepmother, and be pointed out by Amma and her stepmother as Jili Lunza's wife, she will be satisfied.

"The hour of the hour has arrived. Please silence your little masters, line up in formation, and go to the Tiyuan Hall to wait to see your master." A young eunuch walked in from outside the door and said.

Wanxian quickly got up and followed Little Master Badar so that they could meet together.

Everyone stood up and walked towards Tiyuan Hall neatly, standing in front of Tiyuan Hall, waiting for His Majesty to see them.

According to Wanxian's family status, she should have an audience in the middle and later stages, so she had to wait for a long time.

Wanxian stood beside Little Master Badar in an orderly manner, thinking in her heart: As long as the sign is left, it doesn't matter even if it doesn't refer to marriage.No marriage was planned, so he took the wet nurse to the royal temple to become a girl.

If it meant marriage, even if it was to be a concubine, she would accept it.Once she became a concubine, she would listen to her direct descendant Fujin's instructions peacefully, and her life would gradually get better.
