The maid is the queen

Chapter 16 Draft (2)

Peeking around at everyone, then quietly pointed to Hongxing.The smile on the corner of the mouth is rising more and more, and the ordinary facial features are actually delicate and cute.

I couldn't help laughing again, too, and had some good feelings for this girl who was dressed like me.

He took the initiative to say, "My name is Yun Zhiqiu."

She smiled and said, "Well, my name is Lu Yao."

They looked at each other and smiled, and they all looked at the red apricot on the wall of the palace, more and more mockingly, ha ha.

At this time, the palace door opened, and several people dressed in dark blue and black clothes came out, holding spears in their hands, lined up one by one.

Then, a very fat father-in-law walked out of it, and he came out with some air surrounded by several younger father-in-laws.

Clearing his throat, he said, "This old slave's surname is Gao. Today, this old slave is here to announce to all the young ladies the names that can enter the palace examination."

The crowd fell silent, a little nervous, and a little indifferently smiling, standing a little impatiently ignoring him.

Lu Yao beside him said softly, "I'm going to read the list. This year's autumn election is different from previous years."

How this year is different, I don't know.

But after a while, Lu Yao said: "I heard that this year the emperor has hand-picked the ones he likes, but most of them have already been decided by default."

I don't care about these things, if I can, I will go forward, if I can't, I will go back, and I will spend my days without purpose.

Although it is plain, I will still be sad, but these will pass, and I will still find the happiness that belongs to my life.

They went in one by one, and naturally, the women with different statuses from Shangguanhong were at the top.

It was almost at the back that I was read.

Not surprised, just nodded and stepped forward.

Following the lead of Guan Gonggong, I stepped into the vermilion palace gate, and I insisted on following their instructions in advance, not to look or ask more questions.

Walking in front of a large hall, there were many women standing there, their appearances must be beautiful, although they were restrained, their expressions still showed happiness.

I lowered my head and waited, the last one to come in was Lu Yao.

She stood beside me, smiled slightly at me, and looked down at the ground.

Clean floor, according to a calm face, this is a serious choice.

Ju said that the choice is made by the emperor's most beloved concubine, and I stand at the back and can't see anything.

But the imperial concubine spoke very softly, but everyone in the hall could hear clearly.

"In today's primary election, my concubine won the emperor's great love. It is my concubine's luck to be drafted by the emperor. All the girls who have been drafted will definitely serve the emperor with all their heart..."

She spoke softly, and she must be a lovely person to be so favored by the emperor.

It's just that she was too favored, so Zhang Xibao regarded her as an opponent and wanted to replace her.

I don't know why the emperor of the great prime minister has not accepted the empress until now, but everyone seems to dare not dream about this position.

After a while, even the queen mother came.

Let this primary election seem to become tense.

The first one to announce his name was Shangguan Hong.

The Empress Dowager personally asked her about her family background, knowledge, and etiquette.

Shangguan Hong said triumphantly that she was the daughter of the old general Shangguan, so she should not be so important.

It can also be heard that the queen mother is quite satisfied with her, but this satisfaction, for no reason, makes me sigh.This feast came for the emperor, but someone else chose it.

The emperor prefers Zhang Xibao who is the most beautiful in the capital, so he entered the palace a long time ago.

The people in front asked carefully. Of course, there were some that the queen mother didn't like. After a while, the queen mother got tired and went back. The rest, that is, the imperial concubine and empress, let people read the roster, and they should have passed this selection.

I was lucky enough to pass this test.

The last one is still Lu Yao.

The father-in-law announced the decree, leaving everyone to live in the Ningcui courtyard first, and then there will be strict physical examination.

One pass after another, there are thousands of people, but only a few hundred.

I also have to admire Zhang Xibao's wrist, she intends to be a noble concubine, and she is also in her pocket.

You have to learn etiquette before you can face the saint again.

But it was also assigned, I was selected for the time being, and when I was learning etiquette and talent, I showed Zhang Xibao who was the bright generation.

Everything is well thought out, but it's just a visit to the palace.

It was the first time to come to such a magnificent place after growing up so big.Although it is said that Ningcui Courtyard is just a small courtyard, it can only be regarded as a low place in the palace, but it is really beautiful. The courtyard is full of various gorgeous flowers, red walls and green tiles, each with elegant and beautiful scenery.As soon as they entered, they were divided into several small courtyards. Of course, the best place was allocated to Shangguan Hong and the others.

For those who are not of high status like me, the father-in-laws kicked directly to the back courtyard.

Pushing open the door, there are all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings inside, and the bed gauze curtains are all the best.

I pushed open the window and looked a little surprised. I could see the red apricots in the corner here, but they bloomed really well.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, it's Hongxing again."
