Chapter 724 Lies to the little girl
Bao Fuquan's concerns are really unfair. In the second round of the selection, not many girls left their names. Moreover, the girls who were not selected in the primary election, who were not selected for good looks, were still left with Zhenwu. After the second round of the selection, Zhenwu was extremely picky. Those who could stay overnight for inspection were basically outstanding. ////w w w . .c o m
The beautiful girls in Jifengxuan had no money to bribe eunuchs. Most of them were poor women from small families, and most of them were selected by Zhenwu from the unselected beautiful girls. Zhao Mengtong, the daughter of Zhao Can, the Han Army Banner of the Ministry of Revenue, was among them. Although Zhao Mengtong was eager to jump onto the branches and turn into a phoenix, she really had no money to respect eunuchs. She could not take any action with just a few melons. The eunuch with a very big appetite was disdainful of dozens of taels of small money.
It is related to money and family background, but Zhou Roujia, the youngest daughter of the third-rank senior official, Tongzheng envoy, who was determined to lose the election, was also in Fengxuan. Although Zhou Roujia admired Zhenwu very much, she was persuaded by her mother. In addition, she did not like a life of intrigue in the palace for favor, so she agreed to deliberately lose the election.
The female prostitute staying overnight is actually used to examine the female prostitutes and even talents. Among them, female officials have greater roles than eunuchs. A test of frivolous behavior or unruly words and deeds can easily determine the fate of a female prostitute. Therefore, the female prostitute staying overnight is like walking on thin ice.
The beautiful girl who stayed overnight was not doing nothing during her stay. She had to learn the etiquette and various rules in the palace every day. The various etiquettes in the palace were complicated, and there were many rules and taboos. It can be said that there were rules everywhere and rules in everything. If you don’t study and practice specifically, you really couldn’t adapt.
When Zhenwu was visiting the Fengxuan, a group of beautiful girls were practicing etiquette. The little eunuch came to tell the story of the arrival of Zhenwu Saint. Several female officials hurriedly took the beautiful girls to the door to welcome him. Seeing Zhenwu getting out of the sedan chair, the girls Yingying squatted down and said, "I will meet the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed with thousands of blessings."
Zhenwu walked to the girls and said with a smile, "No gift." After the girls got up, he looked at them one by one, his eyes were on Zhao Mengtong and Zhou Roujia for a moment, and then he went straight into Jifengxuan. He didn't enter the house and just stood up in the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, Bao Fuquan hurriedly directed a few eunuchs to bring chairs and tables, and waited for Zhenwu to sit down. Tea, buns, and fruits were introduced. There were not many beautiful girls in Jifengxuan. There were only twelve of them. Seeing Zhenwu's posture, the whole group of beautiful girls were very nervous and knew that the time was coming to decide their destiny.
Zhenwu looked at the girls for a moment, took a few sips of tea, and then ordered: "Scroll the name."
The teacher's nanny had already known the situation of the beautiful girls these days. After hearing this, she hurriedly squatted down and said, "I obey the order." She stood up and reported in the order of the beautiful girls: "Zhenglan Qi. The third-class guard, Na Qiyun's daughter, Na Ruimei, is sixteen years old."
Hearing his name, Na Ruimei hurriedly knelt down and said, "My daughter Na Ruimei, please see the emperor, the emperor is lucky to be Jinan." Because of her nervousness, her voice was filled with a hint of tremolo.
Zhenwu swept away the group of girls who were only fifteen, sixteen, and full of vitality. They were like buds that were about to bloom. They smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to be nervous. You are already proud to be able to stay in the palace. The beautiful girl is chosen every three years, and not many can be left behind in each session. I have already made an order. Whether you keep the brand or not, those who are not selected in the end can be married freely. Even if you fail to enter the palace, you can still marry a good family, and you don't have to be too nervous."
After saying that, he said directly: "Next."
"Ma Rulan, the daughter of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple in the Enneagram, Ma Rulan, is fifteen years old."
He ordered seven beautiful girls in a row, but Zhenwu did not say anything. However, he noticed that the family backgrounds of these seven beautiful girls were not good. Most of them were women from low-ranking officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. The capital was not as good as those in the local area. Officials of the sixth and seventh ranks could not be considered officials at all. It seemed that these eunuchs were playing tricks again, and he couldn't help but glance at Bao Fuquan.
Bao Fuquan felt uncomfortable when he saw this, and he secretly scolded the bastards for doing things too obviously. This time, another group of eunuchs were going to be unlucky. The eunuchs in the palace have been rectified twice. Will Zhenwu take the opportunity to make a big revision? He couldn't help but glance at Wei's teacher nanny.
The teacher also realized that it was inappropriate, but these beautiful girls were of low origins. What could she do? At that moment, she pointed to Zhao Mengtong, "Zhao Mengtong, the daughter of Zhao Can, who is sixteen years old."
Zhao Mengtong didn't expect that he would jump onto his head suddenly. He listened to the call, so he forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart and knelt down calmly and said, "My daughter Zhao Mengtong will meet the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed with thousands of blessings."
Zhenwu nodded and asked, "How is Yixing?"
The teacher's nanny hurriedly squatted and said, "Go back to the emperor, be gentle, filial, and behave appropriately."
Zhenwu then looked at Zhao Mengtong and said, "Have you ever studied?"
"I've read "The Female Training" after a few words back to the emperor." Zhao Mengtong suppressed the joy in her heart and said slowly.
"No, keep the brand." Zhenwu said with satisfaction.
The teacher's nanny didn't care about the order at this time and then sang: "Inlaid the red flag, the daughter of Zhou Daoxin, the Tongzheng General Secretary, the Tongzheng General Secretary, Zhou Roujia, at the age of 16."
Zhenwu was slightly stunned when he heard this. A third-rank official? He pondered slightly, and then he said directly: "Next."
Seeing Zhenwu's attitude, Zhou Roujia couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Even Zhao Mengtong was secretly happy. It would be a pleasure to lose a competitor with a similar appearance to her.
Until all the names were finished, Zhenwu did not keep the sign. Seeing this situation, Bao Fuquan couldn't help but complain. Today, he was afraid that he would be affected by the fish. While peeping at Zhenwu's face, he secretly thought about how to deal with the aftermath. At the same time, he was quite surprised that Zhou Roujia was beautiful and the daughter of a minister. Why didn't Zhenwu keep the sign? Could it be that Zhou Daoxin could not be the holy intention?
After pondering for a while, Zhenwu said, "Zhang Jingru keeps the sign, Zhou Roujia stays, and the rest retreat." As he said that, he turned around and looked at Bao Fuquan again. Bao Fuquan hurriedly brought a group of eunuchs and palace maids to retreat with tactfulness.
There were only Zhenwu and Zhou Roujia left in the entire courtyard. Zhou Roujia didn't know why Zhenwu asked her to stay, but she didn't ask to keep the sign. She couldn't help feeling quite nervous. Listening to the sound of everyone's footsteps, she felt a little more panicked. She didn't dare to look at Zhenwu, so she could only lower her head and stare at her toes.
Zhenwu glanced at her and asked for a while: "Don't you want to enter the palace?"
Suddenly hearing Zhenwu's question, Zhou Roujia was so scared that she was disgraced and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, my daughter is lucky to enter the palace to meet Tianyan. It is a great blessing. If she can enter the palace to serve the emperor, she will be even more undesirable."
Speaking of this, she realized that the blessings and blessings of the entire Zhou family were right in front of her. After a slight blow, she continued: "The emperor, saintly and wisely, advocated the establishment of the agricultural college, expanding the creation of the "Four Great Evergreens", providing relief to Fujian, developing Taiwan, building the Qing Dynasty royal navy, personally conquering Penghu, conquering South Ocean, occupying Australia, exile overseas, immigrating to Australia and other examples, in Jiangnan, the capital was widely sung.
Whenever the women in the Eight Banners Boudoir in the capital gather, the emperor's deeds are an endless topic. All the women who are qualified to be selected for the Eight Banners have secretly agreed to the emperor, thinking about it day and night, hoping to enter the palace and be favored by the emperor. How could the ministers not be willing to enter the palace? I pray to the emperor for a clear review."
"You are so eloquent." Zhenwu couldn't help but chuckled. The reason why he asked this was because all the beautiful girls in Jifengxuan were from low-ranking officials. Only her father was a third-rank senior. She was a picture-like and innocent person, and she was pure and charming. She was beautiful and came from a minister's family, but she was mixed with beautiful girls from poor families. She naturally showed a bit strangeness. Therefore, he speculated that this woman might not want to enter the palace.
I don’t expect that Zhou Roujia is well aware of his deeds, and even the order is correct. This is not something that can be blurted out in a hurry. It seems that he may indeed be the most popular topic in the Eight Banners Women’s Boudoir. Thinking about it, isn’t he the biggest star in the entire Qing Dynasty?
After smiling slightly, Zhenwu continued, "Tell me, why are you in Jifengxuan?"
Zhou Roujia was smart and agile. After hearing this question, she understood the whole story, but she didn't dare to excuse herself of the eunuch's blackmailing girl, which would definitely cause trouble. After pondering slightly, she said softly: "Go back to the emperor, my daughter is a Han army bannerman."
Zhenwu couldn't help but smile. This woman was not only beautiful but also smart. She used this excuse to make excuse herself. The Han army flag had the lowest status among the Eight Banners, and she could tell her that she had some concerns or had her own status. The eunuch in the palace must have taken the opportunity to blackmail this matter. It was rare that she did not use this as an excuse to excuse her.
However, from this point, it can be seen that she really does not want to enter the palace. Zhenwu couldn't help but look at her again. As the emperor, he was in his prime, and he was unwilling to force others to do anything. There are many beauties in the world. If you have nothing to do, you can travel in a vain. What kind of woman do you want? Moreover, after the talent show, there were hundreds of more beautiful women in the harem, so he didn't have to worry about the emptiness of the harem. He was so furious that he was not sweet. He pondered slightly and said, "Full."
Zhou Roujia was happy and thought she had already escaped. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness," and then stood up, but she still didn't dare to look up at Zhenwu.
After sipping tea, Zhenwu said slowly: "I am the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Many women from the Eight Banners want to enter the palace, and some people don't want to enter the palace. I don't want to force others to do so. I will leave a sign or give flowers. You decide for yourself that I will not sin against this."
After hearing this, Zhou Roujia couldn't help but be stunned. Should she go or stay? She decides herself? There are also such talent shows? However, from these words, it can be seen that Zhenwu is extremely favored by her. She thought of the rumors that Zhenwu took a concubine in Shanghai. It seems that the matter is true. She is not very old and admires Zhenwu quite much, so she dares not hesitate. She hurriedly squatted and saluted: "Your Majesty, I want a sign."
