Chen Bi lived in the palace for two months, and it was already early spring. During the national mourning period, it seemed to have become an independent corner. Except for not wearing bright clothes, applying makeup, or quarrel or quarrel, or not, there was no difference.

On this afternoon, Chen Bi was sitting alone day after day and thinking, a female official in her fifties suddenly broke in and said, "Today is the day to choose. You can prepare quickly and come out and choose."

After all, it was still this day. The girls hurriedly washed up, put on beautiful clothes that had been prepared, and put on unique jewelry. Chen Bi couldn't help but change her clothes at this moment, and followed the crowd and went to the big yard when she first entered the palace that day.

After nearly 200 girls arrived, the strange female official ordered everyone to stand in twenty rows, with about ten people in each row, and then they went into the house in turn.

More than a dozen palace maids stood around them and looked for a long time. Someone said, "This one is too tall and that one is too short."

"This one is too white, like a ghost, and that one is a little darker. Yo, her eyes are too charming, your teeth are too yellow, have you not brushed since childhood?"

After three full hours, only about fifty people were left. Chen Bi was regretful to choose. He divided into ten people into a big room. A serious-looking palace maid walked up to her and carefully looked at the position of her facial features, the texture of her hair and the appearance of her fingers.

Although Chen Bi is not stunning, she is also a typical Jiangnan girl with a moderate figure and charming figure. She is uncomfortable and can be checked, with a blank expression on her face. She feels like a trafficked animal, and she repeatedly prays in her heart that she will not be elected.

Suddenly, the palace maid stretched out her skinny hands and touched her breasts through her clothes. Chen Bi's body trembled and retreated slightly, enduring the shame, knowing that she could not escape this level no matter what.

If the breasts are too big and small, they will lose the election. Including whether the hair under the armpits is thick and body odor, this is a rule that has been followed for thousands of years. Chen Bi, who has good health and good development, has no reason not to pass, or even need to take care of it, because they are just a group of insignificant girls. The Qing Dynasty's "splendid" talent show culture is not at all against the Ming Dynasty, and few daughters of ministers are sent to the palace.

After touching for a long time, the palace maid said with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Chen Bi bit her lip, not knowing whether it was Xingqing who was a qualified "woman" or she should be full of grief and anger. She was asked to walk in a confused manner. After such a struggle, twenty more people were removed, leaving only thirty people.

The female officials and other palace maids became more amiable, and they asked them to sit down and talk in a gentle voice. Chen Bi didn't know that this was listening to their voices, otherwise she would pretend to be hoarse, her behavior of drinking tea was a little rude, and her words were not fulfilled.

It seems that this time's talent show is very hurrying and unique. Although nineteen people finally stood out, the palace maid only selected the five girls with the best comprehensive conditions. Chen Bi happened to be the one in the middle.

Then, regardless of the slightest, the female official told her subordinates to lead five girls to the bath room to take a shower. The most uncomfortable moment came. Chen Bi was naked and was shamelessly checked. The palace maid seemed to have some concerns, and she didn't say anything. She waved her hand silently and told her to wash and put on her clothes quickly.

Outside, a palace maid asked the female official: "Is this a direct delivery to the Ganqing Palace? It's not in accordance with the rules, why don't the Empress check it out first?"

"What do you know?" The female official glanced at her confidant, "It's different from the past. The saint has not been close to women for two months. The queen mother and the queen are very worried. She is determined to lead these new girls over and call them to the emperor to take a look, even if they ask questions easily."

"What if the emperor fell in love with him? What should I do if I favor him on the spot?" the palace maid asked carefully.

"Then I'll be lucky." The female official shrugged, "No, that's the Ganqing Palace, not the Imperial Garden."

When the five show girls came out, they followed the female official toward the inner palace and entered the side door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The female official ordered Chen Bi and others to stand carefully. She went to say a lot to the eunuch in charge.

Suddenly, footsteps came, and several eunuchs shouted: "The Lord is here!"

The female official was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down next to the corridor, saying, "The five beautiful girls have been selected, please choose them."

The five girls were at a loss for a moment. Chen Bi knew that it was Emperor Xuande who had come. She secretly looked up and saw that the emperor looked gentle and scholarly, wearing a blue-black court robes, with a good facial features and a slightly tough appearance. She was only in her twenties, so she was quite handsome.

In contrast, the man next to him who looked in his thirties was eye-catching. He had a handsome appearance and elegant temperament. He was dressed in white clothes like a fairy, like a master in the minds of thousands of girls.

"Kneel and pick it up!" The eunuchs shouted again, and the girls such as Chen Bi knelt down in a hurry.

"Are they beautiful girls?" Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji seemed very surprised and said to Xu Hao beside him: "I really don't know what's going on."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Choose one or two beautiful women and add fragrance to each other, it is not considered a sensuality. However, if there is the talented woman who has written the poem, even if she is a stunning person, please ask the emperor to let her go out of the palace as agreed."

"That's natural, how dare I speak without believing it?" Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little angry. The incident in the palace was seen by foreign ministers, which was too undecent.

Chen Bi was surprised. She was a famous young talented woman in her hometown. She wrote a farewell poem when she entered the palace. Could it be that this adult was referring to herself?

When the unknown adult came over, Chen Bi's heart immediately pounded, and then he heard the adult ask with a gentle expression: "Is there a man named Guo Ai among you?"

Ah! Chen Bi lamented in her heart, and her expectation turned into a bubble. Suddenly the girl beside her said in a trembling voice: "I am the one."

Before Xu Hao could continue to ask, Zhu Zhanji asked with interest: "Then tell me that poem."

"Yes." The girl named Guo Ai blushed and lowered her head and said shyly: "Even, you and I have made an appointment for a hundred years. Whoever dies at the age of 97, wait for three years on the Naihe Bridge."

"Okay!" Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands with a look of appreciation, "Every word is sincere and sincere, and it brings out a solemn oath in a sad and lingering way. I have promised to send you home and reunite with your sweetheart."

"Ah!" Guo Ai was shocked, and Xu Hao and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Bi looked at her companion with envy and kowtowed and thanked her, and followed the adult with a smile. She wanted to say that she had a lover who had vowed her in her hometown, but she couldn't say it, because learning to walk in Handan easily backfired and was despised. It was also that the relationship with others in private would bring shame to her parents. After all, without the good luck of Miss Guo Ai, a serious official spoke to the emperor.

In short, she didn't say it out in time, and the opportunity was fleeting. Zhu Zhanji looked at them slightly and nodded slightly. The female official immediately smiled, knowing that someone had been lucky enough to have the emperor's eyes, so she took the four girls to a different room to rest.

At night, the eunuch said that the emperor was preparing for meals and ordered four people to serve.

The female official received the order and once again told him: "You will bow your head before the saint, and you must bow your head and bow your head. The saint will order you to get up before you can get up. Don't cry! Otherwise, if you annoy the saint, no one of us will be able to live. Remember, don't be distracted from being demoted to the cold palace for life because of a moment of confusion."

"I understand." The other three nodded and agreed with excitement. They reached this point, and were so close to the Supreme Lord of Jiuwu. Who would still be unable to get along with him? Not to mention that the emperor was a handsome young man, even the old man with gray hair had to serve him with a smile, but Chen Bi was speechless when he heard this.

When they arrived at a side hall, no one dared to look around. When they saw Emperor Xuande sitting on it, they walked over and couldn't get up.

Unexpectedly, Chen Bi took the initiative to go out, standing beside the golden pillar in the hall, standing without kneeling or speaking, and staring ahead with tears in her eyes.

She was originally beautiful, and the glory of the glass lamp on her head reflected on her face. She looked like a star standing on the stage. She was only eight points beautiful, but now she also reflected on her twelve points.

Zhu Zhanji was moved. The sad girl was crying, like a soft rose, and felt even more colorful. She looked so cute. She raised her hand to signal the eunuch not to interfere, and asked on her own initiative: "Why are you crying? Where are you from? How young is your name? Who is your surname?"

Chen Bi was in a state of excitement and did not hear clearly. She didn't feel uneasy when she heard clearly. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, choosing to fight in silence.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Do you have a husband's family?"

The word "husband's family" suddenly touched Chen Bi's thoughts, and tears poured down instantly, and she was about to hit the pillar without saying a word.

But the female official had already surrounded the palace maid and hugged him. Chen Bi cried loudly and struggled hard. The cloud bun on the head was shaken away, and her long hair was dragged straight to the ground, more than three feet long.

Zhu Zhanji was in a bad mood when he watched this scene. He was originally an emperor who should have a lot of thoughts. When he encountered such a thing, he would just smile and make it happen. The court and the country would praise him in unison, hailing as an emperor's story.

The problem is that Xu Hao took the person away first, and then this girl showed her ambitions by dying, and with the folk rumors that heard about it, is it the most miserable thing to enter the palace to please the emperor?

Yes! Zhu Zhanji himself admitted that after all, he is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the people, but he is also a human being, with a seven-emotional and selfish side, and is also a very confident young man. Even if he is an emperor, I, Zhu Zhanji, cannot compare to your lover?

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but become competitive. He wanted to see if the time is over, and you can compare yourself to whether it is better for me or your lover.

Therefore, he was not upset and said calmly: "Take her down, arrange a place to live, and comfort her, and don't seek any more frivolous things."

"Yes!" The female official and others quickly forced Chen Bi to support her crying Chen Bi and retreated. As soon as she came out, she was not angry but was overjoyed.

What a good or bad thing is the vision of a person who can get a higher level in the palace? He immediately guessed the emperor's thoughts and knew that this girl would be her future favorite concubine. So who dares to neglect?
