Qi Yu nodded: "Okay, I will personally select them at that time and pass on my decree. All the beautiful ladies are not allowed to apply makeup or use any fragrance. All the costumes will be distributed by the palace!"
"According to the order!" the minister responded.
Three days later, all the beautiful ladies gathered at the Taihe Gate in the palace. They all put on the light green palace clothes issued by the palace, and their headdresses were all the jasper butterfly steps provided by the palace. They were all fresh and elegant, delicate and sexy.
drop.
Luo Lianyi was on the road before and saw rich and powerful girls dressed in luxurious and beautiful clothes. A girl from a poor mountain village like her felt a lot shabby when she stood with them. Now that everyone dressed in the same uniform, she felt that it was fair and just. She couldn't help but
I somewhat admire the emperor who I have never met before.
The beautiful ladies were introduced to the Ruyi Hall of Bishui Palace in batches by the eunuchs, and then introduced one by one to the inner hall to meet the emperor and queen. The rest were waiting in the Nuan Pavilion.
Luo Lianyi watched them go in one after another and come out one after another. Some were smiling, and some were dejected. She guessed that the distressed ones were poor girls who wanted to enter the palace and wanted to change their fate, while the happy ones were mostly officials.
The young lady did not want to go to the palace to live a life of intrigue. She was very curious about what criteria the emperor chose and why the girls who seemed to her to be good were being rejected one after another.
The cold wind was blowing, and the girls were not wearing much. Luo Lianyi looked at everyone, and their faces were all blue from the cold. She probably looked similar to herself, and would probably be kicked out later.
She thought that her face must be bruised by the cold at this moment, and she had no hope of being selected. She thought that if she was not selected, where would she go next after putting down her name? Although she felt sorry for Qian Lianyi's mother in her heart,
But she was really reluctant to go back to that small village.
"Liu Ruyuan!"
"Ye Thrush!"
"Luo Lianyi!"
Luo Lianyi was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a duck-like voice calling her. She raised her hands and shouted "Here". She forgot that this was an audition and thought she was standing on the school playground and the teacher called her by name.
All eyes in the audience immediately turned to her, and a girl beside her covered her mouth and laughed, whispering: "A country girl is a country girl."
Luo Lianyi glanced at her, didn't care about her, and followed the girls and eunuchs who were just named into the Bishui Palace.
The Nuan Pavilion of the Bishui Palace was filled with candles as thick as wrists and smoked with agarwood chips. It was warm and bright, and the fragrance was lingering, like a spring breeze. After sitting for a while, Luo Lianyi felt much more comfortable. She looked up and looked around. This palace is so beautiful, just like the TV
Like those palaces seen in the palace, the walls, beams and columns in the palace are decorated with dragons and auspicious clouds, with various shapes and lifelike shapes. Various celadon utensils are placed at random, calm and elegant. The ground is made of large bluestone bricks, with the middle as smooth as a mirror and the surrounding polished clouds.
The pattern is very delicate and beautiful.
After Liu Ruyuan, Ye Huamei and other beautiful ladies went in, they all came out with gloomy faces. When the eunuch called "Luo Lianyi" by name, she quickly stood up and followed the eunuch into the inner room.
The inner room is even more beautiful! It's resplendent with gold and jade, and the gauze curtains make it feel like you're in a dream! Luo Lianyi slowly followed the eunuch, secretly admiring in her heart.
She raised her head and looked in front of her, and finally saw the emperor and queen sitting on a dragon chair with red gold nine dragons hovering around it! She saw that the emperor was wearing a dragon-coiled yellow robe and a nine-star crown on his head, with several twelve stars hanging on it.
The jade beads of various colors swayed gently, but they could not hide the calm and powerful dragon's face. Luo Lianyi couldn't see his eyes clearly, only saw his aquiline nose, and she became afraid of him for no reason. She
Kneeling down, I peeked at the queen again, and saw that the queen was wearing a golden phoenix on her head, with bright eyes and white teeth, a solemn face, and a compelling bearing.
"Luo Lianyi, why don't you pay homage to the emperor and empress?" the eunuch reminded her.
"Ah? The daughter of the people - the daughter of the people pays homage to the emperor, the empress. Long live the emperor, and may the empress live a thousand years." Luo Lianyi remembered that it was played like this on TV, and it seemed quite decent.
"Haha, okay, no courtesy, you get up and come closer so I can take a good look." The emperor seemed to be satisfied with her visit, and his voice was very kind.
After Luo Lianyi came over, she only saw this appearance in the broken bronze mirror at Lianyi's house. She vaguely felt that it was indeed much prettier than her previous appearance. As for how beautiful it was, she couldn't figure it out.
She stood up and walked uneasily to the front. Little did she know that she was now as white as a peach blossom and as rosy as peach blossoms due to the heat in the pavilion.
When she came closer, Qi Yu stood up unconsciously, walked to her, stretched out his hand to lift her face, looked at her face carefully, and pressed the fingertips of his other hand on her cinnabar mole.
Luo Lianyi always hated this action. She suddenly remembered that Prince Xiling also raised her chin like this that day. That condescending attitude made her very unhappy, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Queen Gao Yan, who had been sitting quietly, saw her subtle expression, her face suddenly darkened, she stood up and looked at the emperor nervously.
"How dare you frown at me?" Qi Yu's hands turned into pliers and pinched her neck.
Luo Lianyi stood under his nose and saw clearly his ferocious eyes like a falcon. She couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. She was suddenly afraid that he would snap her neck with his hands.
.
"What's Ami? What's Ami?" She anxiously recalled the voice that sent her through and taught her the spell to escape in times of crisis, but she couldn't remember it, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"This is the first time I've seen a woman who dares to frown at me." Qi Yu increased his strength with his fingers.
At this moment, everything about moral integrity was in vain! Luo Lianyi's mind was spinning like a wheel, and suddenly her body went limp. Her eyes instantly became watery, and her eyes were extremely aggrieved. She looked at the emperor and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty.
, the little girl is just frightened by the emperor's imposing manner of dominating the world."
Qi Yu looked deeply into her eyes, Luo Lianyi blinked hurriedly, pretending to be more innocent and pitiful, Qi Yu slowly loosened his fingers, and finally let go of his hand, laughing loudly.
Luo Lianyi didn't know why he was smiling, but she saw that the queen's face became even darker.
"Keep this one and send it to the Star-Zhaing Hall and hand it over to the body-exam mammy." After Qi Yu smiled, he turned around and ordered the eunuch below.
"According to the order." The eunuch agreed, came over and knelt down and said to Luo Lianyi: "Congratulations, little master, please come." Luo Lianyi escaped from danger, and she didn't know what fate was waiting for her next. She was at a loss.
Following the eunuch down, I walked past the envious, jealous, and hateful looks of the beautiful ladies waiting in the Bishui Palace, and went to the unfamiliar Star-Zhaing Palace.
In the inner room of Bishui Palace, Queen Gao Yan walked up to Emperor Qiyu and asked, "What does the Emperor want?"
