Queen is fearless

Chapter 444
The final selection finally started. After several layers of screening, there were hundreds of beautiful girls, but only sixteen were left in the end.

Gu Jinzhi was sitting at the top, and Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi were sitting at the bottom of her head.

Originally, Concubine Dong was invited, but Concubine Dong declined the queen's invitation on the grounds that she was unwell.

This is normal, after all, Concubine Dong believes in Buddhism, besides reciting Buddhist scriptures, she is copying Buddhist scriptures every day, and she does not interfere at all in the affairs of the harem, even if her status is sufficient.

In this regard, Gu Jinzhi is not reluctant. If she can really keep doing this, it will be a good thing.

"Everyone get up." After the sixteen beautiful girls had saluted, Gu Jinzhi gave them a command and gave them seats.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." With a neat voice, as if they had been trained, the beautiful ladies took their seats one by one, looking at their sitting postures, they were all standard.

"Looking at them, I thought of the time when I first entered the palace." Jiang Zhaohua looked at the people present, stood up and faced Gu Jinzhi, and saluted with a smile.

"These are all green and juicy. If they enter the palace, they will definitely add a lot of color to the palace."

"What Jiang Zhaohua said is, sit down quickly." Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile, looking at Jiang Zhaohua with warmth in his eyes.

She knew that Jiang Zhaohua didn't like newcomers entering the palace.

Withdrawing her gaze, her gaze flicked over the bodies of all the beautiful girls, and the warmth was instantly reduced by half.

Jiang Zhaohua took her seat again, and exchanged a glance with Lian Xiuyi who was sitting opposite her.

For this draft, the palace will definitely have to add people. There are only sixteen of the hundreds of show girls left. Even if they want to give marriages to the royal family, there will be at least seven or eight left.

Jiang Zhaohua frowned secretly in his heart, seven or eight were quite a few, if they all entered the palace, there might be many troubles in the palace.

Thinking of this, her eyes once again turned around on the beautiful girls.

A long time ago, the empress named Jian Rou to leave behind, but I don't know if she was among them?

It must be there, after all, the empress has spoken, which one is it?
Searching for the memories in her mind, Jiang Zhaohua had seen the small portrait, and soon, her eyes fell on Jian Rou.

Looking at Jian Rou, Jiang Zhaohua couldn't help raising his eyebrows. If it is true, this person named Jian Rou is not as good as Lian Xiuyi!

I don't know why, the empress asked her to keep her here?
Sitting in the hall, Jian Rou could vaguely feel that someone was sizing her up, but she didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only bear it passively.

"You don't have to be too nervous. Being able to sit here shows that you are good enough."

The draft is held every three years, but any girl of the right age can participate.

After being screened by the states and counties, and then selected by the towns and cities, it is not easy to enter the capital and live in Chuxiu Palace.

Of course, in the final selection, it is doomed that those girls who are selected will only be the best ones. After all, those who can be kept in the end have a great possibility to serve the emperor.

The faces of the beautiful girls in the palace showed faint excitement. Indeed, they were all the best, so they were retained.

It would be the best if she could enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.

If you can't enter the palace, it is quite good to be given marriages to the royal family members.

Of course, what they wish most is to enter the palace and gain the emperor's favor.

It's just that they don't know who can be left behind.

Qingluan led the people and presented the signs of all the beautiful women to Gu Jinzhi.

As her name is called, Xiu Nu will step forward, and the final fate will be decided by the queen, Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi.

One name after another was called, and some were left with signs, which meant that they could enter the palace.

Those who were not left behind, although disappointed, also knew that their future path would not be too bad.

"Yang Xue." Qingluan's voice sounded, calling Yang Xue's beautiful girl, she stood up, walked gracefully, and walked to the place where other beautiful girls stood just now.

Jian Rou stared at Yang Xue firmly, feeling a little nervous, she didn't want Yang Xue to be left behind.

The two have been at odds since they were very young. Over the years, whenever they have the opportunity to catch each other's tricks, they will not let it go.

If she enters the palace, she also enters the palace, and she must be the biggest stumbling block on the way to fight for favor.

Jiang Zhaohua's and Lian Xiuyi's gazes sized up Yang Xue. Compared with the beautiful girl who was left behind just now, Yang Xue was undoubtedly better.

Jiang Zhaohua didn't want to keep her. After all, if such an outstanding person is in the palace, if he really wins the emperor's favor...

Lian Xiuyi didn't have anything to worry about, as long as she didn't feel wronged about the empress, everything would be fine.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if such a beauty is let go? Keep the sign." Gu Jinzhi's voice came, and Jiang Zhaohua frowned slightly, then sighed.

Ma'am, it's true, wouldn't it be better for such a person to give marriage to the royal clan?

Because of Gu Jinzhi's praise, Lian Xiuyi looked at Yang Xue a few more times, and felt that there was nothing special about it.

Yang Xue heaved a sigh of relief, and then she was overjoyed. She was left in the palace and could become the emperor's woman!
"Thank you, empress." Yang Xue stepped aside to salute Gu Jinzhi.

The show girls whose names were not called one after another got up from their chairs and stood up.

Some were left behind, while others retreated to the other side, waiting for a while to be sent out of the palace together.

Sitting on the chair, Jian Rou felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. Her seat was not at the back, but she watched the people sitting behind her being called to the front.

However, no matter how anxious she was, she could only endure it, her face was calm and she didn't dare to show anything.

What she didn't know was that this was deliberately arranged by the queen to make her feel tormented.

"Jane Rou." Finally, her name was called. She was the No.16 show girl whose name was called, and she was also the last one.

Responding quickly, Jian Rou stood up and stood in front.

Just now, Jiang Zhaohua had already sized her up, and now that she stood up, Jiang Zhaohua sized her up again.

By the way, I looked at some information about Jian Rou in my hand, "The most talented woman in the capital?"

Raising his eyebrows, Jiang Zhaohua looked at her again, Yang Xue heard it, and couldn't help but groan in his heart.

She wished that Jian Rou would not be selected, so that she could laugh at her properly.

"It's just a false name, and it can't be taken seriously. I also want to thank everyone for your love."

Blessing Jiang Zhaohua, Jian Rou's eyes flashed with complacency, she knew that Yang Xue must be very angry, because this title almost belonged to her.

"There are no talented women in this palace. The most important thing is to keep yourself safe and know your identity."

Without letting Jian Rou get up, Jiang Zhaohua smiled and spoke, and what he said made Jian Rou's face turn blue and white for a while...
