The queen agreed cheerfully: "My daughter's family is mostly known for their needlework. It's already good that you can read a few words."

Meizhuang did not dare to show too much joy when he heard this. He smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Empress, for your compliments."

The queen spoke with a smile and told the eunuch, "Why don't you write down the name for future use."

Mei Zhuang stepped back, turned around and stood next to me, breathed out a sigh of relief and looked at me with a smile. Mei Zhuang is generous and decent, with outstanding appearance. It was expected that she would be selected, and I never worried.

Just as I was thinking about it, the Chief of Ceremony and the Internal Supervisor had already sang my name, "Zhen Huan, the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is fifteen years old." I took two steps forward, bowed down Yingying, bowed my head and said, "My daughter Zhen Huan is here to see the Emperor and Queen.

, May the Emperor live long and blessed, and the Queen live a thousand years of good fortune."

The emperor said softly "Oh" and asked: "Zhen Huan? Which 'Huan' is it?"

I lowered my head and blurted out: "Cai Shenci: Huan Huan curls around the waist of the palace of Chu. It is the maiden name of the court lady." I regretted it as soon as I said it. It was really bad. I was too quick to speak and said what was written in the book.

If it comes out, it may have attracted the attention of the emperor, which is really contrary to the original intention. I regret it!

Sure enough, the emperor put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "You are quite knowledgeable in poetry and calligraphy. Zhen Yuandao is a good godfather. I just don't know if you are worthy of this name. Look up!"

I knew I couldn't avoid it, and I regretted that I had shown off my sharpness just now. Now I could only raise my head, hoping that the emperor, having seen so many beauties from the north and south, would not be interested in seeing me dressed up so neatly.

The queen said: "Come forward." She glanced sideways slightly as she spoke. The internal prison guard next to her immediately understood, picked up a cup of tea and poured it in front of me. I didn't understand what it meant, so I had to pretend to turn a blind eye and step on the tea steadily.

The first two steps.

The queen smiled and said: "Very dignified."

The emperor raised his hand to slightly lift the twelve white jade beads hanging in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and praised: "Roufu Huanhuan, charming and charming. You really deserve this name."

The queen then said: "She is also dressed very elegantly. She is just like the pink and willow greens of Mrs. Shen just now. It goes well with her."

I lowered my head, my face was hot, and I thought it was already as red as clouds, so I had no choice but to remain silent. I only felt that the golden candlelight was faintly swaying in front of my eyes, and the aroma was earthy and endless, rippling on the tip of my nose.

The emperor nodded with a smile and ordered the eunuch: "Write down her name for future use."

The queen turned her head and smiled at the emperor: "The concubines selected today are all stunning, some are proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and some are virtuous and gentle. They really add to the peace and harmony in the palace." The emperor smiled slightly but did not answer.

My heart sank. Is the man sitting high above me the husband I will rely on for life? I bowed and bowed, and returned silently. When I saw Meizhuang smiling brightly at me, I had no choice but to smile back. I was confused.

I was confused, I didn’t know how to deal with this sudden selection, and I had no intention of paying attention to anything else. After the show girls finished their tour, they all kowtowed and thanked the class according to the pre-instructions of the supervisor, regardless of whether they were selected or not, and then filed out with the class.

.

Just after leaving the Yunyi Palace, I heard a "bang" behind me, and turned to look. It was Ye Fangchun, the daughter of Jiangsu Salt Road, who was in the same row just now. I saw that her face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she must have fainted. She must have fainted.

It was the failure to "keep it" that led to excessive sadness and excessive phlegm.

I sighed and said, "I couldn't keep those who wanted to stay, but I did keep those who didn't want to stay." While speaking, Ye Fangchun was helped away by the maid serving in front of the palace gate.

Meizhuang helped the hibiscus on my bun that was about to slip off and said softly: "Sister, why should I sigh? Being able to enter the palace is a blessing and something that many people can only wish for. Besides, if you and I enter the palace together, we can take more care of each other." Declaration

The inner prisoner has gone, Uncle Zhen will be happy."

I twisted my fingers around the plum blossoms hanging on my skirt and kept silent. After a long while, I said in a low voice: "Sister Mei, I really didn't mean it."

She grabbed my sleeve and said softly: "I understand. I've said before that with your talent and appearance, you can't avoid it on your own." She paused, then suppressed her smile and said in a deep voice: "What's more?

With our qualifications, do we really want to commit ourselves to those mediocre people?"

While Meizhuang was trying to comfort me, an older palace maid came up with a lantern to lead us out of the palace. The palace maid had a smile on her face, and blessed us with a blessing and said: "Congratulations to the two young masters on choosing a concubine." I said.

Hemeizhuang smiled reservedly, rewarded her with some silver, and slowly walked out of Yuxiang's door with his hands in hand.

There are only a few carriages waiting outside Yuxiang Gate. The glazed wind lanterns hanging in front of the carriages are swaying in the wind, as if they can't help it. Waiting in the carriages are my personal maids Liu Zhu and Huan Bi.

Seeing us coming from a distance, he quickly jumped out of the carriage with his cloak and came to greet us. Huanbi held my arm and said softly, "Miss, you are tired." Liu Zhu put the brocade cloak on me and tied it up.

Meizhuang was helped into the car by his maid Caiyue, drove to my car, raised the curtain and said with concern: "Aunt Jiaoyin will come to your house in a few days to teach palace etiquette. You will wait until the imperial edict is issued before officially entering the palace.

My sisters can’t see each other for the time being, so please take good care of yourself.”

I nodded, and Liu Zhu and Huanbi helped me get into the car together. The maid under the car stood respectfully with her hands lowered, and said respectfully: "I would like to send you two young masters."

I opened the curtain and looked back for a deep look. The twilight sky was half filled with blackness like drops of ink, and half filled with purple and golden sunset glow, like a long tapestry of colorful bombs spread out.
