Shen Bi has lived in the palace for two months, and it is already early spring. During the state funeral, it seems to have become an independent corner of the world, except that it is not allowed to wear bright clothes, apply grease and powder, and do not quarrel with this and that, the rest is no different.

On this day, in the afternoon, when Shen Bi was sitting alone day after day and thinking about it, a female official in her fifties suddenly broke in and said, "Today is the day of selection, you should prepare quickly and come out to apply." ”

After all, it was still this day, and the girls hurriedly freshened up, changed into the beautiful clothes that had been prepared for a long time, and put on ingenious jewelry. Shen Bi couldn't help herself at the moment, so she had to change her clothes in a hurry, and followed the crowd to the big courtyard where she first entered the palace that day.

After nearly 200 girls had arrived, the strange female official ordered everyone to stand in twenty rows, about ten people in each row, and enter the room in turn.

More than a dozen palace ladies stood around them and looked at them for a long time, and someone said, "This one is too tall, and that one is too short." ”

"This one is too white, like a ghost, and the other one is a little darker. Yo, her eyes are too foxy, your teeth are too yellow, haven't you brushed since you were a child? ”

For three full hours, there were only about fifty people left, and Shen Bi regrettably won the election. Divided into ten people and entered a large room, a stern-faced palace lady walked up to her, carefully looking at the position of her facial features, the quality of her hair and the appearance of her fingers.

Although Shen Bi is not stunning, she is also a typical Jiangnan small family jasper, her figure is moderate and charming, she is uncomfortable to be checked, her face is expressionless, she feels like a sold animal, and she repeatedly prays in her heart to be defeated.

Suddenly, Gong E stretched out her thin hands and touched her breasts through her clothes, Shen Bi's body trembled and flinched slightly, enduring the sense of shame, knowing that this level could not be avoided no matter what.

If the breasts are too big or too small, and the shape is not beautiful, they will be defeated. Including the thick hair under the armpits, there is no fox odor, this is an old rule that has been followed for thousands of years. And Shen Bi, who is in good health and development, has no reason not to understand guò, and there is no need to even bother, because they are just a group of insignificant show girls, and the 'splendid' draft culture of the Qing Dynasty is not close to that of the Ming Dynasty at all, and few daughters of ministers are sent to the palace.

After touching it for a long time, I heard Gong E say with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”

Shen Bi bit her lip, and didn't know whether to celebrate that she was a qualified 'woman' or to be full of grief and indignation, and was asked to walk in a daze, so she tossed it down. Twenty more were removed, and only thirty remained.

The attitude of the female officials and other palace ladies has obviously become much kinder, and they asked them to sit down and talk softly, Shen Bi didn't know that she was listening to their voices, otherwise she would pretend to be hoarse, and her demeanor when drinking tea was a little rude, and it was good if her words didn't reach her meaning.

It seems that this draft is very hurried and chic, although nineteen people finally stood out, Gong E only selected the five girls with the best comprehensive conditions. Shen Bi happens to be the one in the middle.

Then regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, the female officer explained that her subordinates led the five girls to the bathhouse to bathe, and the most uncomfortable moment came, Shen Bi was naked and was examined in shame. Gong E seemed to have some scruples, her movements were gentle and she didn't speak, she waved her hand silently, and told her to hurry up and wash and put on her clothes.

Outside. A palace maid asked the female official: "Is this directly sent to the Qianqing Palace?" It's not in accordance with the rules, why don't you let the queen mother look at it first? ”

"You know what." The female officer glanced at her henchman, "This time is different from the past. The saint has not been close to women for two months, and the queen mother and queen are very worried, so they ordered to lead these new show girls over and let the saint take a look, even if it is easy to ask questions. ”

"If the Holy One is in love? What should I do if I am pampered on the spot? Gong E asked cautiously.

"Then it's a good thing." The female official shrugged, "No, it's the Qianqing Palace, not the Imperial Garden." ”

When the five show girls came out, they followed the female official towards the inner palace, and entered the side door of the Taihe Palace, and the female official ordered Shen Bi and others to stand carefully, and she went to talk to the chief eunuch herself.

Suddenly, footsteps came, and several eunuchs shouted: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”

The female officer was startled, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down beside the road, and said, "Five show girls have been selected, please choose it." ”

The five girls were at a loss for a while, Shen Bi knew that it was Emperor Xuande who came, and secretly raised her head to see that the emperor looked like a scholar, wearing a blue-black court dress, with upright facial features and a slightly tough appearance, and he was only in his twenties, but he was also born unusually.

In contrast, the man next to him who looked to be in his thirties was eye-catching, handsome and elegant, dressed in white like a fairy, like a master in the minds of thousands of girls.

"Kneel down!" The eunuchs shouted again, and Shen Bi and the other girls hurriedly knelt down.

"They're show girls?" Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji looked very surprised, and said to Xu Hao beside him: "I really don't know what's going on. ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "It's just to choose one or two beautiful women with red sleeves to add fragrance, not to mention lustful dogs and horses." However, if there is a talented woman who writes words here, even if it is stunning, please let her go out of the palace with me according to the agreement. ”

"That's nature, how dare I say it and not believe it?" Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but be a little annoyed, the matter of the harem was actually seen by the foreign ministers, which was too undignified.

Shen Bi was pleasantly surprised, she was a well-known talented girl in her hometown, and she made a parting poem when she entered the palace.

Seeing this unknown adult coming over, Shen Bi's heart immediately pounded, and he heard the adult ask with a gentle expression, "Is there a person named Guo Ai among you?" ”

Yes! Shen Bi lamented in her heart, her full expectation came to naught, and suddenly the girl next to her said in a trembling voice: "The slave family is." ”

Without waiting for Xu Hao to continue asking, Zhu Zhanji asked with interest: "Then tell me about that poem." ”

"Yes." The girl named Guo Ai blushed, lowered her head and said shyly: "Lianlian, you and I have agreed to be together for a hundred years." If anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, he will wait three years on the bridge. ”

"Good!" Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands and looked appreciative, "The words are sincere, and the poignant and lingering brings out the solemn oath." I've promised to send you home to be reunited with your sweetheart. ”

"Ahh Guo Ai was stunned, Xu Hao and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Bi looked at his companion with envy and kowtowed to thank him, and left with the adult with a smile, wanting to say that he had a lover who had a mountain alliance and a sea oath in his hometown, but he couldn't say anything, because Handan toddlers were easy to be self-defeating and despised, and it was also a private alliance with someone who would cause shame on his parents, after all, without the good luck of Guo Ai's girl, there was an important minister who spoke to the emperor.

In short, she didn't say it in time, the opportunity was a little inferior, and Zhu Zhanji looked at them slightly, nodded slightly, and the female official suddenly smiled, knowing that someone had been lucky to enter the emperor's eyes, and happily took the four girls to a separate room to rest.

In the evening, when a decree came, the eunuch said that the Holy One was ready to eat, and ordered four people to go and serve.

The female official received the order and once again admonished: "When you come to the Holy One, you must first prostrate and give thanks, and you must bow your head, and the Holy One has commanded you to get up before you can get up, and do not weep!" Otherwise, if we annoy the Holy One, none of us will be better off. It must be remembered that Hugh will be demoted to the cold palace for life because of his confusion. ”

"Got it." The other three nodded in agreement, looking excited, when it comes to this, they are close to the Ninety-Five Supreme, who will not be able to get along with themselves? Not to mention that the emperor is a handsome young man, even if he is a gray-haired old man, he has to serve with a smile, but Shen Bi was silent when he heard it.

When they came to a side hall, none of them dared to look around, and when they saw Emperor Xuande sitting on it, they walked cautiously and fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Shen Bi actually went out, standing by the golden pillar in the hall, standing without kneeling or speaking, staring ahead with teary eyes.

She was born delicate, and the brilliance of the glass lamp on her face was reflected, and she was as colorful as a star standing on the stage, obviously only eight points of beauty, but at this moment it was also reflected in twelve points.

Zhu Zhanji was moved, the girl in the sorrow was full of tears, like a weak rose, and felt even more vivid, that appearance was really cute, raised his hand to signal the eunuch not to interfere, and took the initiative to ask: "Why are you crying?" Where is the name, how much youth, and who is the surname? ”

Shen Bi, who was in a mood, didn't hear clearly, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it when she heard it clearly, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, choosing to fight in silence.

Zhu Zhanji frowned when he saw this, and asked thoughtfully, "Is there a husband's family?" ”

The words "husband's family" touched Shen Bi's heart at once, and tears poured down instantly, and she was about to hit the pillar directly without saying a word.

But the female officials and other palace ladies had already surrounded him and hugged him, Shen Bi cried loudly, struggling hard, the cloud bun on his head was shaken away, and the long green hair was dragged straight to the ground, more than three feet long.

Zhu Zhanji looked at this scene, and his mood was very bad, he should have been an emperor with all over his heart, but when he encountered such things, he would just smile and make it happen, and the government and the opposition would praise it in unison, which was praised as a good story of the emperor.

The problem is that Xu Hao took people away first, and then this girl died with her ambition, plus those folk rumors from hearsay, is it the most miserable thing to enter the palace to please the emperor?

Be! Zhu Zhanji himself admits that after all, he is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the people, but he is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires and a selfish side, and he is still a very confident young man, even if he is removed from the identity of the emperor, I Zhu Zhanji can't compare to your lover?

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji inevitably moved the psychology of competitiveness, he wanted to see if in time, you personally compared, whether it was better for me or your lover.

Therefore, he was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Take her down, arrange a place to live, comfort her, and don't kill yourself again." ”

"Yes!" The female officer and others hurriedly forcibly supported Shen Bi, who was crying, and retreated, and as soon as she came out, she was not angry but overjoyed.

What is the stake of the people in the palace who can mix with the grade, and immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts, and knew that this girl must be the favorite concubine in the future, who would dare to slack off?

After hearing the news, the eunuchs from all walks of life all gave the green light and arranged people in a delicate courtyard, and after a fight, Shen Bi was discouraged, like a walking corpse at the mercy of others. (To be continued......)
