The maid is the queen

Chapter 17 The Walled Palace
The chuckling sound made me turn around, look at Lu Yao, and smile slightly: "Yes, what a coincidence."

"It seems that we are really destined!" She sighed, sitting on the bed and looking at the small room: "Like someone, it may be a feeling of mutual connection, the first time I see you, but I feel that we have known each other for a long time .”

She asked me curiously after a while: "Zhiqiu, if you pass the physical examination in the afternoon, we will be staying in the palace. Are your family members worried?"

"No." I said softly.

They are gone, no one worries about me anymore.

She nodded and said with a smile on the corner of her lips, "That's true. It's a good thing to be selected. Your family must be very happy."

I lowered my head and hid my bitterness. If my mother was here, I might be really happy.

My mother always hoped that I would be famous, but what a woman can do to be famous is nothing more than marrying a good husband.Am I married?I'm just a pawn in the hands of others.

I don't know if there is anyone in this palace, among this group of beautiful women, who secretly wants to watch other people's chess pieces like me.

"Hehe, Zhiqiu, are you unhappy because of what I said?" She asked cautiously.

I shook my head, still smiling gently: "No."

"Actually, drafting and entering the palace seem to be a very glorious thing, but behind the glory, there will be a lot of price." She sighed a little on her small face: "Women in the world are not necessarily, they really are. I want to enter the palace to gain the favor of the emperor." She raised her eyebrows and said boldly, "For example, me."

"Lu Yao, don't let people hear you." This is disrespectful.

"Oh, you really don't know." Lying on the bed, she said weakly: "I always think about whether every level will kill me, but I have passed every level. Gong, It is to use a wall to enclose and lock people inside, the happiness of the birds is a free sky."

That's right, what she said touched me a bit.

I also don't want to enter the palace. Although entering the palace may really change your life completely, there are also birds who don't want to be locked in a cage. The sea, the green forest, which one is not beautiful, is it not worth going?

Lu Yao's eyes are broad and enjoying. Her life must be wonderful.

"I don't have any parents. My father is just a small official who passed away a long time ago. I think I will definitely not be selected." To Lu Yao, I didn't want to hide anything.

Lu Yao looked at me sideways, and said with some envy: "That's great, Zhiqiu, if your status is like this, even if you are selected, you will be in pain. In this palace, everyone has their own strong The backstage, just like Zhang Xibao who entered the palace in Xia Ji, she has the Yang family as the backstage? I heard that she is just a cousin of the Yang family."

Speaking of Zhang Xibao, I really feel a little guilty. I work for Zhang Xibao.

She is smart, she knows how to find the Yang family, and the Yang family is not vegetarian, so they want to hold her in the palm of their hand and play with her.

I, redundant, inconspicuous person.

"Zhiqiu, it's so nice outside, it's really nice." She said these words hoarsely, staring blankly at the red apricots outside the window, and something moist overflowed from her pupils.

"Don't cry." I said softly, "Maybe, none of us will be selected."

She just laughed, pulling up the quilt to cover her smile with a little rustle.

I don't understand her, but I really like her, Lu Yao, my first friend.

The most embarrassing thing is nothing more than the physical examination. At the beginning, the facial features, height, fingers, even hair, eyes, and pupils must be checked one by one. It is so strict that there is finally some nervousness.

Then there is laughing, don’t laugh badly, don’t laugh ignorantly, don’t laugh sweetly, don’t.

This young emperor is really well-mannered. It turns out that the smile is the most important thing in choosing a show.

Then she took off her clothes and let the female officials in the palace check carefully to see if there were any scars, breasts, and even chastity.

I think every woman hates this kind of thing the most.

But there is no way. In the draft, what you want is an innocent woman.

"Yun Zhiqiu." The female officer called my name seriously.

I stood on the other side, which is a qualified show girl.

"Lu Yao." The female officer read again.

Lu Yao came over with a wry smile on his face.

I quietly stretched out my hand to pull her, and she smiled at me vigorously, motioning me to listen to the lady officer.

"You guys are considered qualified today. Today, you will live in Ningcui Courtyard to learn etiquette and talent. After one month, you will be elected in front of the palace. You will win the prince Long En, and then make a roster. Ladies, you should study hard. The palace is no better than home. , everything must be done according to the rules, if you don't follow the rules, you won't have to wait a month before you will be sent out of the palace."

For some reason, when I heard this sentence, my heart sank and I laughed.

Turning to look at Lu Yao, she also winked at me and smiled.

It turns out that each other's thoughts are that they don't want to abide by the rules.
