The concubine's graceful phoenix comes to the world

Chapter 73 Making a second choice (1)
The weather on the day of the second election was still sunny, which was not bad compared to the rainy days of the previous few days.Because there are no empresses and imperial concubines in the harem now, the empress dowager is also worried that the second election will be handed over to other concubines.

The second selection is the most critical part of the three drafts. This second draft is considered to be a watershed. Those who pass the second selection can be regarded as sparrows becoming phoenixes. But if they do not pass the second selection, they can only go home and marry. up.

Shangguanrou didn't dress up too much. Although the weather is not hot, she would sweat after waiting outside for a long time. She didn't expect to have a painted face for the second election.Shangguan Rou had dressed up very early, but she was wearing a light blue palace dress and a light makeup, and sat quietly on the side.Zhao Ziyue and Qi Tianxi also dressed up soon, Zhao Ziyue walked in a gentle style, Qi Tianxi looked lively and cute, the three of them looked at Lin Zixuan who was constantly dressing up, and thought of irony flashed in their eyes.

Lin Zixuan was wearing a pair of red palace attires, with peach blossom makeup that is very popular nowadays, making people more delicate than flowers.Lin Zixuan kept searching in the box, trying on this hairpin and that pair of earrings for a while, but she always seemed dissatisfied, until the father-in-law and aunt-in-charge urged her several times, Lin Zixuan's face After closing the makeup box with displeasure, the three of them saw Lin Zixuan's actions and walked out first.

This second draft was held in the Pingde Palace in the harem. After the primary selection, there were only 200 of the original nearly 180 show girls, and they were divided into 36 groups of five. Waiting quietly outside, with many nuns watching, absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

Lin Zixuan was the daughter of the Lin family, the head of the four great aristocratic families, and the daughter of the first-rank prime minister of the current dynasty, so she was naturally at the front, while Shangguanrou, Zhao Ziyue, and Qi Tianxi were at the bottom.In the second draft, Ci Zhu was selected, and Ci Hua was not selected.

Not long after, Shangguanrou saw that there were already many beautiful girls coming out, some of them looked happy, obviously they were given beads, and some looked sad, even in tears, they must have not been selected, but, Both Lin Zixuan and Princess Taiping were given beads. It seems that this family is definitely very important. Even if it is to save face for Prime Minister Lin and Princess Dachang, Lin Zixuan and Princess Taiping will not be defeated right now. .When Lin Zixuan and Princess Taiping met, they both had provocative expressions on their faces. It seemed that the rumors that the two were at odds were indeed true.

The sun has gradually risen, and the weather has begun to become hotter. Shangguanrou found that many of the beautiful women's makeup was already worn out. Everyone lowered their heads to touch up their makeup, for fear that the empress dowager would leave behind. bad impression.

They all know the status of the Empress Dowager in the palace, and based on the Emperor's respect for the Empress Dowager, they also want to win her favor. As long as the Empress Dowager speaks a few good words for them in front of the Emperor, I believe they will be favored by the emperor.

Shangguanrou waited quietly, watching the batches of beautiful women who went in and out, her deep thinking began to be a little trance.Suddenly, someone tugged at the corner of her clothes, and Shangguan Rou came to his senses and found that it was Qi Tianxi.

"Sister Shangguan, what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable? It's our turn in the next group. You persevere, but you must not lose here. You must let those who look down on others know that others are better than her. too much."

Shangguanrou knew who she was talking about, but she didn't expect that she still hated Princess Taiping. It seemed that what Princess Taiping said that day really stimulated her.
