Chapter 474: The Bitterness of Deception Comes 22
Xue Pinggui's face was not the slightest abnormal: "The queen has been guarding the cold kiln alone for 18 years, and she just wants to find a few people to accompany her." ”
"That's it!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu helped speak: "Besides, the queen just asked them to accompany them for one year, at most two years, and then arrange a suitable person to marry according to their knowledge and conduct." What's wrong? ”
Huguo Gong rolled his eyes, there are two concubines and four concubines in the family of the Ministry of Rites, and everyone in the capital knows that his daughter is beautiful and moving, writes and paints, poems and songs, and is top-notch, except for the four who have reached the age and are married, there are still two left, which is exactly fifteen or sixteen years old. Originally, I wanted to be sent to the palace, but I couldn't wait, I couldn't wait, I could only arrange to get married, and now I can find an opportunity.
Ling Xiao said: "The queen has paid a lot for the king, and this request is not too much. But why do you want to live in the palace, you can be sent to the palace every day to accompany you, and you can send it back to the house at night. ”
Cut, in this case, if you are pregnant, you can't tell who the child is in the womb. Raised in the palace, in addition to being the king, who else can it be?
Xue Pinggui looked at Ling Xiao, he was Tortoise's cousin, and his elbow naturally bent inward.
Zhou Chengxiang stepped forward: "General Ling, there must be a reason for the king's move, after all, the queen is a Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that the news will be passed out when she goes in and out." Therefore, it is not necessarily a bad thing to let these officials and ladies live in the palace. ”
Xue Pinggui immediately climbed up the ladder: "Living in the palace is exactly what Gu decided, Gu believes that the queen's heart is towards Gu, but after all, she is a Tang Dynasty, if there is any trouble, she will definitely be the first to suspect her." In order to avoid tongues, I came up with the idea of letting people live in the palace. ”
Zhou Cheng said: "The king is wise! ”
Ling Xiao was speechless.
Xue Pinggui looked at Concubine Xian's father, Prime Minister Zhou Cheng, who was a member of Ling Xiao's party, and he usually had the most opposing opinions, but how could he help him today? Oh, by the way, there are still several young ladies in Prime Minister Zhou's house who have not yet left the cabinet, so that's it, hehehe......
Discussions went on and on, and in the end ten people were reduced to four.
When choosing, Xining deliberately put it in the afternoon and asked Xue Pinggui to do it for himself.
A total of more than 100 people signed up, which greatly exceeded the estimate. Knowing that entering the palace is risky, you must be cautious in signing up, but in order to make the family's status in the court, even the timely boudoir girls who have not left the cabinet before Prime Minister Zhou Cheng and the hussar general are sent.
Looking at the hundreds of people, all of them were crowded in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Courtyard, warblers and swallows, peach red and willow green, even Xue Pinggui was dazzled.
And these boudoir ladies, looking at the vegetables and fruits planted all over the yard, took a look and thought they had come to the wrong place. Where is the Zhaoyang Courtyard where the queen lives, plus a few chickens and a few pigs, a live farmhouse.
People come naturally to choose, since they are selected to accompany reading and writing, then delete the exam!
In the first round of writing, select the ones who write well to stay.
The second round of painting, the third round of musical instruments.
After three rounds, there are forty people left, and then the project of Gabi. A part of the painted scroll was taken out and given to the forty people to inscribe on the spot.
Xue Pinggui simply asked a few Wenchen to come over and comment on the spot.
Where is this choosing a companion to study, it is comparable to the imperial examination.
The inscription is not easy, and to write the artistic conception of a painting, it requires a certain amount of understanding and literary brilliance. After the fourth round, there are twenty left.
Xining made a decision, tried again, and chose the project. So the twenty ladies and gentlemen showed their strengths, dancing, singing, riding and archery, writing poems and paintings with outstanding literary talents, and taking out embroidery that they wore or carried.
A young lady is dancing the Hu Xuan dance, this kind of dance should be particularly light and fast pace, extremely difficult, Yang Guifei is good at this dance.
After the dance, another appearance. Obediently, this one actually danced a waist dance with folded sleeves! The long sleeves are thrown, the limbs are twisted and the waist is bent, and the posture is delicate. This requires an extremely soft waist and many years of practice to be able to show grace and grace when dancing, and to bend the waist and fly with long sleeves.
Don't say that Xue Pinggui's eyes are about to fly out when he sees it, even Xining is also well-organized.
danced so well, is it a professional dancer with the name of Miss Guan?
If you enter the palace, the tortoiseshell's stunning dance is a ball, and it can't be compared at all.
After a few rounds of brushing, these twenty women are all versatile and outstanding. It's better to take them all...... Xue Pinggui could only swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said softly: "You can only choose four people, and leave two places for the fifth miss of Zhou Chengxiang's family and the seventh miss of the hussar general." It's better to have a scholar from the Ministry of Rites. ”
If you subtract three from four, you'll only be left with one? Then choose a hair.
Feeling that it was too difficult to pick one out of the remaining 17 people, Xue Pinggui stubbornly said: "One more is enough, just think of a way." ”
One more won't do it!
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and even the optional additional test is over. Everyone looked at the queen, waiting for her final choice.
Xining smiled: "Today's hard work, everyone, sure enough, Xiliang is full of talents, and the female talents of the boudoir are not inferior to the bearded men." ”
She stood up abruptly and waved her sleeves: "The twenty shortlisted people will live in Zhaoyang Academy to learn etiquette, and after three months, they will be selected based on their grades." Others give palace flowers, go back! ”
Yes? Suddenly everyone's eyes widened, not to say four people, now there are twenty people left.
Not everyone is suitable for life in the palace, learn etiquette, and at the same time run in and choose the most suitable person to stay. There's nothing wrong with it!
Twenty of them are all left, good wives, good wives, good wives, and sure enough, it is the dregs that he likes the most. Looking at this group of beauties, although Xue Pinggui maintained his demeanor on the surface, he was actually so happy that his heart was about to jump out.
And what Xining thinks is: if more women entangle the scumbag, she will have a chance...... Hey, hey, hey......
Before the twenty people moved in, Xining also specially asked if there was anything they couldn't get away from in their family, and if so, they could give palace flowers home like other women, and they would never reveal a word to their families.
As a result, four of them wanted to go back, and the others all said that they wanted to stay in the palace, and even if they lost the election in three months, it would be their blessing to be able to stay with the queen and learn the rules of the palace.
People have their own aspirations, knowing that the palace is Longtan Tiger's Den, but there are many people who are willing to jump into it. Xining will give them this chance!
Although Zhaoyang Temple is large, sixteen people are squeezed in at once, and it seems that the room is not enough.
When everyone learned that Xue Pinggui was very "considerate", he let them "live temporarily" where his family originally lived.
The son of the family is a newly selected show girl, who has not yet been canonized.
If you don't live there, where can you live? There are the most rooms there, and 16 people can stay at once. But that's right! And Xue Pinggui has already decreed that if the woman who is selected after three months will be named a female official.
It's not a concubine, it's a female official, that's right!
But everyone thinks that the drunkard does not mean to drink; Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.
When she heard that the queen had left 16 women behind, she was so angry that she wrung Ropa in a few clicks.
