When she first entered the post house, Xintong was quite proud of her status as a Shangsanqi. But after dinner, she learned that most of the candidates for the election were noble women from Shangsanqi, and they were genuine daughters.
I am just a fish with eyes mixed with pearls.
On the day of the selection, Hai Fang arranged for the girl who was waiting for her to put her hair into a simple bun, and the hairpins she wore were all made of extremely simple jade, which made her originally pretty face look green and tender. She was worthy of it.
The people trained by Haifu are very agile and adaptable. This girl's name is Bian Xiang'er, and she is the secret sentry placed by Haiwang beside her. It is called to serve, but it is actually to monitor.
The person in charge of the selection for the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time was Jia Jinlu, the imperial edict eunuch, who was a popular figure in front of the Queen of the Central Palace. After a round of inspection, some women who were beautiful, top-notch, or whose family backgrounds were extremely noble were dismissed. Several of them were dismissed.
The smart show girl excused herself to go back to the wing to change out of her brightly colored clothes and her hair full of pearls. However, some people who thought too highly of themselves were extremely disdainful. Xintong stood in the crowd, carefully observing the movements around her, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Fortunately, I didn't commit any taboos.
Since Eunuch Jia was a popular person in front of the queen, he would naturally take into account the status of the middle palace and help the middle palace get rid of people who were an eyesore. Therefore, the more he kept to himself at the moment, the greater the chance of winning. When the chosen eunuch walked up to her, she suddenly
She put on a cautious little face and pulled the handkerchief, looking very shy and uneasy. The eunuch paused in front of her for a while, then nodded and left.
After the leader completed his inspection, he reported to Jia Jinlu as usual. He and the leader glanced at Xintong without leaving any trace, whispered a few words, and then continued to inspect others.
A group of beautiful ladies stood on the ground, their soles numb, before Jia Jinlu gave instructions and began the selection process. The so-called selection means that after two rounds of rough selection, five beautiful ladies stand in a row and come forward to report their names for the person in charge to check. Those who pass the test.
A green card from the palace will be issued, and the body will be checked by a dedicated nun in the inner room. Those who have been given a green card will be rewarded with a small souvenir and sent back to their original place to get married on their own.
When it was Xintong's turn, several of the selectors on the seat were already showing signs of fatigue. She lowered her head all the way and inadvertently stuffed a red envelope to the leader of the team beside her, saying, "Please take care of me, father-in-law."
The father-in-law took out the red envelope and looked at it. The amount in it was very useful to him, so he moved Xintong to a row of mediocre pretty girls and said, "Perform well!" "Thank you, father-in-law!"
Xintong stood among the five people, her appearance becoming more and more outstanding, but the expression on her face gave people a feeling of frailty. The leading eunuch sang, "Next one! Su Wanni Xintong!" "My lords, peace.
good!"
Jia Jinlu just heard that the leading eunuch mentioned this beautiful girl named Xintong, and he immediately got more energetic and said: "Raise your head!" Because he was a little far away, there was a light gauze curtain in the middle, and he was dressed in Tsing Yi.
The moment she raised her eyes, Jia Jinlu seemed to see the old Tang Gege in a trance. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes and said to his left and right: "Roll up the gauze curtain and wait for our family to take a closer look!"
When he got closer, he saw clearly that the woman in front of him was not Fujin from Zhongtang Mansion, but she looked quite similar. "What a strange thing!" He immediately ordered: "After looking at the selection for so long, I think all the ladies must be tired. Let's go down first."
Let's have a cup of tea and a stick of incense before continuing!" Xintong didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse after hearing this, and left the hall uneasily.
In the hall, Jia Jinlu paced back and forth, very anxious, "What a resemblance!" The leading eunuch followed him and slapped him, "My father-in-law also thinks that the woman just now looks like Tang Fujin. If this woman is selected to be admitted to the palace,
I will definitely win the favor of the emperor!" Jia Jinlu took off his hat and said: "Hey! How can our family not know this! But if you do this, I'm afraid it will annoy the mistress in the middle palace!" "This slave is watching.
That girl has a crystal heart, and looks so weak. Even if she enters the palace, she will be just like Jia Chang, just serving the Holy Master, and she will never threaten the Queen!"
Jia Jinlu pondered for a moment, "That's all, I'm betting on this! I'll mention something about the girl when I get to the palace in the future. Come in!"
After hearing the edict, Xintong walked into the hall, her heart pounding in her throat. Jia Jinlu approached and said: "Girl, you... are blessed." The leading father-in-law handed over the green card, "You will have to take care of the slaves in the future.
Na!" Xintong bowed in fear, "My father-in-law should give more attention to Xintong. Xintong has just entered the palace and doesn't know much. Here are some of my thoughts. I hope my two father-in-laws will accept them.
!" After saying this, he handed over two thick red envelopes.
Jia Jinlu only glanced briefly and stuffed the red envelope into his sleeve. The leader looked at it with a smile and a slavish look, "Hey, the girl is really thoughtful, come on! Please come in!"
Women who have not been selected will never see such a beautiful scene. Every beautiful woman takes off her clothes and allows the specialized nun to check her body, smell her armpits, and explore her breasts. This is what women who enter the palace must go through throughout the ages.
Check. Generally, women who have reached this stage have impeccable moral character. If a woman is kicked out of the forbidden room, it will be extremely embarrassing. It proves that the woman is no longer a daughter, and then the princes and ministers will have nothing to do.
Anyone who dares to marry has no hope of ascending to the Dragon Gate.
Xintong lay quietly on the couch, and the dedicated nanny who served her had gentle hands. I wonder if it was because of this that she was not as nervous and shy as other beautiful ladies. She closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Fu Heng was very drunk that day.
, did not touch her, this should be the will of God. It gave her the capital to compete with him and take revenge in the future.
Mammy's voice was very kind: "My little master has a flawless body. I have finished checking. You can get up now." When Xintong got out of bed, her foot slipped and she almost fell. Mammy's hands and feet quickly caught her.
She said, "Little Master, be careful!" She took the opportunity to get close to the nanny and stuffed the red envelope she had prepared into her hand. Unexpectedly, the nanny pushed the red envelope back without leaving a trace and gave her a meaningful look.
"Young master, please take it back. There are many people in the palace and it's up to you to take care of yourself."
She just thought that her mother was just timid, so she put away the red envelope.
As soon as the sky darkened, Xintong slipped out of the palace courtyard where she was staying, went to the small courtyard that she had inquired about early, and knocked on the door of the grandma's room. The ladies secretly muttered that this dedicated grandma used to be a waiter
After hearing about the current empress dowager, the former Concubine Xi, Xintong was very interested in getting closer to this nanny.
When grandma heard the sound, she quickly opened the door. When she saw it was Xintong, she quietly brought her into the room.
