Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 360 The Water In The Palace Is Too Deep
Xuan Fu seems to be full of curiosity about the draft: "There are so many adults above the fifth rank in the imperial court, and some are far away in the border areas such as Jinzhou. Will the daughters of these people all come? And some adults, married There are countless concubines, and a bunch of daughters will all enter the palace, so how can this palace be filled?"

When Xu Suxin heard this, she covered her lips and smiled.

Xuan Fu was a little annoyed by her smile: "Could it be that I was wrong, how many people entered the palace what you said."

Xu Suxin didn't mean to be mocking, she knew that Xuan Fu was a son and daughter of the Jianghu, and she didn't know about the draft.

So patiently told her to get up.

"Actually, although there are many fifth-rank officials in the imperial court, not everyone's daughters can enter the palace. The selection process is quite complicated. Every year, the selection process is scheduled for spring and March, usually starting in the first month. Beginning to receive draft orders from the imperial court one after another, all unmarried daughters who are waiting to be married at home will be included in the civil register. Some officials have many concubines, so naturally there may be many daughters, but these daughters must be sent to the state capital first. There are aunts sent by the palace in the government office, and after the aunts screen, the rest can be sent to Chang'an City."

Before Xu Suxin could go any further, Xuan Fu interrupted her curiously: "How do you screen? Is it based on appearance?"

"Appearance is just one of them. There are as many as ten items to be checked, including appearance, manners, whether there are any scars on the body, whether there is body odor, whether there is bad breath when speaking, whether the teeth are straight, whether the face is dignified, and so on. "

Xuan Fu was even more surprised after hearing this: "The selection is so strict, and this is only the first round."

Meng Baiyun laughed at her: "It's going to be delivered to the palace, why do you think crooked melons and dates can come here?"

But Xuan Fu snorted: "I have lived in the palace these days, and I have seen many so-called concubines and concubines, and there are not many who are tall and beautiful. Su Xin's face, among this group of women, at least can be ranked third."

Meng Baiyun was very interested: "Oh, Suxin can only be ranked third, who are the first two?"

Xuan Fu glanced at Xu Suxin: "Don't be unhappy, in fact, those two people look really good, one is a bit older, I can take a look from a distance, and I can imagine how beautiful she was when she was young."

"The one you said is older, isn't it the imperial concubine?" Meng Baiyun asked himself that the only older woman in the harem who could make Xuanfu unforgettable at a glance was the empress dowager.

Xuan Fu shook her head: "I said I took a look at it from a distance, I don't know who it is, but it really fascinated me."

"Hehe." Meng Baiyun chuckled, "Is there another one?"

"There is another one. I took a look at the profile and back. I went to the hot spring with my sister that day. I saw a naked upper body in the hot spring pool. I knew that the hot spring over there was the queen's exclusive hot spring. I thought it was the queen. I hurriedly took my sister and withdrew. Thinking about it later, the emperor didn't make a queen, so it might be some concubine."

Meng Baiyun was a little curious. The emperor didn't touch the women in the harem, and he didn't see anyone who was particularly favored. The empress's hot spring pool was not something that just anyone could take a dip in.

Although Meng Baiyun had sex before, she was not a casual person, she had Xuan Shi's life in her hands, and the emperor cared so much about Xuan Shi, he must treat her with extra courtesy.

"Did you see clearly?" Meng Baiyun felt that Xuan Fu was probably dazzled.

But Xuan Fu pouted: "My eyes are good, I can see clearly, she is a woman with a very beautiful side face, but the water vapor is a little big, I saw someone panicked and didn't look carefully, but I'm sure it's a woman The ultimate beauty."

Xu Suxin looked at Meng Baiyun, Meng Baiyun also looked at Xu Suxin, the two of them laughed tacitly, Xu Suxin smiled lightly, Meng Baiyun smiled a little speechless.

In other words, the emperor was unwilling to become a queen, and those who accepted concubines were drafted because they had someone in their hearts. This person was likely to be hidden in the palace, and his stately appearance was enough to rival the empress dowager's concubine.

But who?
But the palace is huge, and Meng Baiyun has only met a few people, how could she know where this person is pretending to be.

Suddenly felt sad for Yan Hongyi.

Your man is about to sleep with another woman, and you are still thinking about him.

Silly boy, give up.

Meng Baiyun felt emotional, and Xuan Fu began to pester Xu Suxin about the draft again.

She is very interested in this, probably never heard of it, so she finds it amusing.

Meng Baiyun has the memory of the previous 18 years, and she is no stranger to the draft. She was almost included in the list, but she was wiped out in the first round of selection. Of course, she herself was in love with King Qin at the time and was unwilling to enter the palace. On the day of the selection, they were painted with Big Mac's smelly toad water, which made the whole room stink, and they were immediately kicked out.

However, she didn't know much about the details of the draft, so it was a bit of a stretch to hear it.

Xu Suxin continued to be the commentator for the two.

"The selection of the state capital is very strict. The body of a woman is a big hurdle. Anyone with a little flaw will not be able to pass. After passing this selection, before the [-]th day of February in the spring, all the women selected will go to Chang'an The City Treasure Show Hall is closed, and those who don’t arrive before the [-]th will all be considered disqualified.”

Xuan Fu always had that surprised expression: "Then if you get sick and get late on the way, you will be driven back after you finally come, how miserable it is."

"So after the selection of the state capital, the family will arrange to leave for Chang'an City. If there are no accidents on the way, they will basically be able to arrive on time. However, most of the ladies are delicate and expensive. As you said, every year on the way, they will be there. Even if a few people get sick, even if they make it to Chang'an City and meet the deadline, the next round of selection will be on February [-]th, and those who are crooked will be eliminated directly."

"It's so miserable. It feels like choosing cloth. It doesn't look like a person at all."

Xuan Fu sighed.

Meng Baiyun said with a nonchalant smile: "That family also followed suit, flocking to them."

Xu Suxin's smile became a little lonely: "Some people are for themselves, and some are for the family. How many of these people can't help themselves."

Meng Baiyun's brows tightened, and he lowered his voice: "Suxin, this is in the palace, so I have something to say."

Xu Suxin's face turned pale before she realized her slip of the tongue.

Seeing her nervous, Meng Baiyun quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's just us."

Xu Suxin breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuan Fu has no heart and lungs, and chases after Xu Suxin to ask about the next matters of the draft.

What follows is nothing more than what she said, a pile of "cloth" being picked and picked.

The qualified ones are sent to the next batch of inspections, and the unqualified ones go back and forth.

Xu Suxin told Xuan Fu this very carefully.

But Meng Baiyun only listened for three or four minutes, and his thoughts were flying here and there, wondering if the emperor is really a straight man, that beauty is his hidden treasure, and even the position of queen is reserved for that beauty. with.

On the one hand, she was thinking that the draft is coming soon, and the current position of the emperor depends on the current group of courtiers to secure his position. It is impossible for him to completely ignore their suggestions.

They kept proposing drafts, setting up queens, choosing concubines, eager to give their daughters, sisters, cousins, etc. to the emperor's mind, and it was impossible for him to refuse again and again.

So this year's draft will probably be held.

If the emperor arranges his little beauty in at that time - don't worry, even if he is just a court lady, the emperor is capable of arranging a decent status for himself as a wife - then, there is no doubt that this little beauty will definitely be favored alone, and even ascended to the throne. bit.

If Yan Hongyi knew, would she come to the palace?

Yan Hongyi has a bad temper and is arrogant. His love for the emperor is really nothing to say.

So he could do such a thing as entering the palace.

At that time, in order to cover up the scandal that he slept with, Zhong Ning might kill Yan Hongyi.

Can't do it.

She wanted to rescue Wen Yuan and Princess Hui Ge before the emperor's little beauty was exposed to the world, trick Yan Hongyi into taking them away, and then hand a letter to Hui Ge, asking Hui Ge to find a way to persuade Chu Emperor, close Yanhong Yiguan Monk Temple for another ten or eight years.

Yes, it's time for her to put the matter of Huige and Princess Wenyuan on her agenda.

"Madam Long, Madam Long."

Xuan Fu and Xu Suxin didn't know what to say, Meng Baiyun didn't hear it, they called her, she was confused.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, you seem to be distracted, what are you thinking?" Xu Suxin asked.

Meng Baiyun shook his head: "I didn't think about anything, where did you talk about?"

Xu Suxin smiled lightly: "I didn't even think about anything, I didn't even know where we were talking about."

Well, as smart as she is, there are times when she exposes herself like this.

She smiled embarrassedly.

Xuan Fu didn't take it seriously, thinking that Meng Baiyun knew the steps of the draft, so he listened absent-mindedly.

She is a son and daughter of Jianghu, this is the first time she heard that the draft is so complicated, she was excited, she pulled Xu Suxin and said: "Suxin, leave Madam Long alone, she might be thinking about General Long, go ahead and enter the palace Afterwards, everyone will live in Chuxiu Palace, and before the palace examination, they are all beautiful girls, and their status is no higher than that of aunts and father-in-law in the palace, so what about after the palace examination?"

"It was already in April when the palace examination was held. These beautiful girls lived in Chuxiu Palace for a month. After being taught by their aunt for a month, these beautiful girls will be arranged to meet the emperor. Seven people will be in front of the emperor. After a while, if you are lucky, the emperor will also ask a few words. If the emperor likes the beautiful girl, he will leave a message. .”

"I've worked so hard to reach the last step, why don't you just leave?"

Meng Baiyun knew a little bit about this, and was afraid that he would lose his mind again, so he simply joined the chat: "Didn't you live in the Zhenxiu Pavilion when you entered Chang'an City? If you are not selected, go back to the Zhenxiu Pavilion. If you want to go home, you don't want to go home. Those who go home continue to make a piece of cloth, waiting for the emperor's brothers to choose."

"My lord?"

"En." Xu Suxin nodded, "As Mrs. Long said, after the emperor chooses the prince, most of the prince will not be selected."
