royal princess

Chapter 292 The Unlucky Palace
Now that Qiao Wan appeared, Concubine Xi's eyes were brighter than anyone else's, and the empress felt even more headache when she saw it. She couldn't believe that Concubine Xi didn't know Qiao Wan's background.

Qiao Wan stood tall and graceful, and wanted to raise her head to have a look, but she was worried that the imperial court would lose her dignity, so she could only endure it, her heart beating violently.

The queen mother glanced at the queen, "What does the queen think?"

The queen's heart skipped a beat, but her face was calm, she smiled lightly, "I think these sisters are excellent." After speaking, she looked at Si Jin, "What does sister Xigui think?"

When asked what the emperor meant, he also wanted to see Concubine Xi's face, so the queen simply didn't ask, this Qiao Wan must be kept.If Concubine Xi opened her mouth and could sell well in front of the Queen Mother, she would give her this opportunity.

Si Jin looked at the queen when she heard the words, with a sweet smile on her face, "What the empress said is very true, and my concubine also thinks it is very good. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Facing Shang Sijin's smile, Xiao Qi subconsciously straightened his spine, coughed lightly and said, "The empress is the one who decides, these people come in, and I will leave it to you."

Well, this kick kicked the ball back again.

The queen felt depressed, and then looked at Concubine Shu and the others, how could these people not know Qiao Wan, naturally they all agreed, and in the end Qiao Wan stayed as she wished.

Joyful in her heart, Qiao Wan bowed her knees and thanked her, then stood aside and waited, while the rest of the unsuccessful candidates withdrew with disappointment on their faces.

And the next batch of people who came in was Yu Yunying and Li Qingyao's team.

Yu Yun was heroic and heroic, and Li Qingyao was unparalleled in beauty. When the two entered the hall, they immediately became the focus of this group of people.

Si Jin's eyes fell on Li Qingyao's face, and she was a little surprised. Isn't this the most beautiful of these show girls?Apricot core and big eyes, a straight nose and cherry lips, especially Sai Xuebashuang's crystal clear skin, which is particularly eye-catching.

Although Yu Yunying is not as good as Li Qingyao in appearance, her temperament is a bit higher. Even if she stands with a beauty like Li Qingyao, she will never be ignored.

Si Jin smiled lightly, the two of them plus Qiao Wan were the most undeniable existences among this group of beautiful girls.

Now it's all together, it's really lively.

Li Qingyao has a delicate and naive personality, but also bold in her actions, she is unparalleled in her looks, at this moment, she raised her eyelids and glanced up.Just saw that the emperor turned his head to the side and seemed to be saying something to Concubine Xi, and then she saw Concubine Xi slightly pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly, not knowing what she was talking about.

As for Concubine Xi's face, the closer she was now, the more clearly she could see it from a distance outside the palace.With this glance, Li Qingyao's heart was shocked, even though she had heard that Noble Concubine Xi had a good appearance, she knew that the rumors were true only after seeing it with her own eyes, and she was by no means inferior to herself.

Slowly lowering her head, she no longer dared to look around, feeling very anxious, only thinking that Concubine Xi would not look at her beautiful face, so she just put down her own sign, right?

And just now Si Jin was whispering to Xiao Qi, talking about Li Qingyao and Yu Yunying, teasing him to enjoy the blessings of being equal.

Xiao Qi turned black in the end.

This time the two of Yu and Li entered the palace with the intention of appeasing the heroes, so these two must stay.Si Jinsheng was afraid that Xiao Qi would expel the two of them to show his innocence, which would be chilling to the other heroes, so before Xiao Qi could speak, he looked at the empress with a smile and said, "I see these two sisters are very eye-catching." .”

There is nothing in the queen's heart that she doesn't understand, she nodded with a smile, "The rules and appearance are really good, what do you think, empress dowager?"

The Empress Dowager wished to embarrass Concubine Xi, she nodded with a smile, "It's really good."

So the two managed to stay.

Si Jin didn't mean to be depressed at all, and stayed happily until the end of the draft.There are indeed a lot of beautiful women who left their brands in the palace selection this time, there are more than 40 people.

As soon as the palace selection was over, Xiao Qi stood up, looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and I will leave this place for the Empress to preside over."

The queen mother nodded lightly, "The emperor is busy with you."

The queen brought all the concubines up to send them off respectfully. In front of everyone, Xiao Qi took Si Jin's hand and walked out without hesitation.

Si Jin walked beside Xiao Qi, at this moment, in front of the queen mother, empress and other concubines, as well as the new couple who had just stayed in the palace, she suddenly felt a sense of pride from the bottom of her heart.

This is the happiness that Xiao Qi gave her by holding her in his palm.

Seeing the emperor and concubine leaving hand in hand, the old people in the palace had long been used to it, but these people who had just entered the palace were naturally a little surprised.

The emperor doesn't have official duties to deal with, so why should he stay with Concubine Xi?
These people don't understand the emperor's brain circuit at all, and others who don't know the emperor are just an excuse.

Retention is actually just a process, who should be retained and who should not be retained, I have already made a conclusion in my mind before, so the queen ordered Aunt Tong to allocate a palace for these people to live in, and helped the queen mother to leave.

No matter when, as long as there is a queen mother, the queen will always look respectful and filial.

After sending the Empress Dowager off, Concubine Shu also got up and left with a smile, Xian Fei and the others also left one after another.

But after a while, Nuo Da's hall was empty.

Qiao Wan lived in Lingyan Pavilion where Jin Jieyu once lived, Yu Yunying lived in Liuyun Pavilion owned by Mrs. Zhou, and Li Qingyao lived in Ningcui Pavilion where Dou Fangyi once lived.This batch of new ladies who entered the palace did not have a high initial status, the highest were these three people, Qiao Wan and Yu Yunying were both from the sixth rank, one was named a talented person, and the other was named a beauty.Li Qingyao's appearance is even more outstanding, and she has won the title of a nobleman of the sixth rank, the highest among all the people.

The first day of everyone in the sixth palace was spent packing the palace luggage.

Before reaching the fifth rank, they are not even qualified to pay respects to the queen, they can only stay quietly in their own palace, waiting for a high-ranking concubine to call to speak, or waiting for the emperor's favored decree to arrive .

In the first three days after a newcomer enters the palace, it is the best way to tell which one is the most favored by the emperor, because No. 1 favored by the emperor must be the one with the deepest impression.

Everyone naturally thought of this good omen, and secretly compared each other.

However, the first three days passed, and the harem was as calm as water, without any decrees coming down.

After another three days, there was still no movement.

The first month passed, and the harem was still as quiet as water.

It's just that some people couldn't sit still, and started to collect some money to inquire about the news, but the news they got was that in the past month, the emperor stayed in Yihexuan almost every night.

Li Qingyao couldn't sit still any longer, so she went to find Yu Yunying. As soon as she sat down, the two sat facing each other, her eyes turned red, "Sister Yu..."

Yu Yunying shook her head lightly, looked at the palace man beside her and said with a smile: "I'll serve you some tea, you guys go and have a rest, I'll talk to the nobleman."

"Yes."

The tea was served, and the palace people withdrew one after another.

Li Qingyao was startled when she saw Yu Yunying's behavior, "Sister Yu, what are you?"

"After all, you and I have entered the palace not long ago, and the people around us are not familiar, so how can we trust it casually." Yu Yunying said with a sigh. The concubine died.

Is it unintentional or is there a new arrangement?

Is it Concubine Xi?
Yu Yunying was also uncertain, but she was more careful here.

Speaking of this, Li Qingyao looked a little unhappy, looked at Yu Yunying and said: "Sister Yu, you feel it too. Is it strange that I always feel that the palace people around me are not very nice handle."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunying glanced at Li Qingyao, "It's the same with you?"

"Sister here too?"

The two looked at each other, and then Yu Yunying spoke slowly, "Speaking of which, we are new ladies who have entered the palace, and our future is limitless. These palace people come to serve us, and they only want a bright future. But, The people around me seem to have no self-motivation, and they always do things well, and if there are other things, these people will always shirk their excuses."

"It's the same with me. Asking them to inquire about the news is like killing their heads. I really don't know what to be afraid of." Li Qingyao couldn't help complaining, "If such a slave was kept at home, he would have already died. The reward board has gone, how can they be allowed to fight against the master."

"Don't be impulsive, this is after all in the palace, not at home."

"That's why I endured it, but I really couldn't help it. Sister Yu, you are really aggrieved when you say what's going on. It's not like asking them to inquire about the important affairs of the court, but to ask the emperor Why can’t things like my whereabouts work?”

Hearing what Li Qingyao said, Yu Yunying turned pale, looked at her and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, spying on the emperor's trace is a serious crime, you don't want to die?"

Li Qingyao looked at Yu Yunying's stern face, was taken aback by her, and hurriedly said: "I just... I can't just ask, you see we have been in the palace for so long, but the boss It's like forgetting about us."

Seeing Li Qingyao's grievance, Yu Yunying also had a headache, sighed softly and said: "What is this, I heard... I heard that Li Xiaoyi is one of the few outstanding girls who survived the last session." One, and none of them have been favored."

Li Qingyao was dumbfounded, the last draft was three years ago.And she had seen Li Xiaoyi before, she was a girl from the Li family in Longxi. She still remembered that when she was young, she followed her mother to the Li family for a banquet, and saw Li Xiaoyi surrounded by a group of maids from a distance.

Now I still clearly remember the envious gaze, and the clothes on Li Xiaoyi at that time, which I couldn't afford.

That glamorous and unparalleled face is still deep in my memory, so... can't that kind of appearance be in the eyes of the emperor?

Seeing Li Qingyao's appearance, Yu Yunying said in a low voice: "Therefore, there is no need to rush this matter, and the emperor stays in the Yihexuan of Concubine Xi's every night, and the Yihexuan is a little far away from the harem. The emperor does not go to the harem. Come on, I was captured by Concubine Xi. Even if you and I are in a hurry, we can't do anything reckless, lest we follow the old path of that Wang family girl."
