Chapter 9 Entering the Palace (Completed)(1/2)
The night before entering the palace.
Qin Wu and April sat in Lan Xu Pavilion and drank tea.
The courtyard was deep, and the wind passed Youhan. Qin Wu curled his cloak and said, "Where will the fourth girl go after tomorrow?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." April put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "I'll probably go to Jiangnan to have a look."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu lowered his head and took out a few silver notes from his sleeve and put them in her hand.
After seeing it clearly, April hurriedly refused and said, "Miss Qin has given me enough. I feel guilty about this money and can't ask for it anymore."
"The fourth girl is both a teacher and a friend, so how can I feel guilty? When we part tomorrow, it will be difficult for you and I to meet again in this life. If you treat me as a confidant, then take it away." Qin Wu smiled brightly and added: "Although silver is a bit vulgar, it is the most practical, right?"
The tip of the nose felt sore in April.
She has been sold four times this year, but there are more than four men lingering on her.
There were countless silver hitting her, but what fell into her hands were just a few silver hairpins.
She has endless plays, endless debts, and endless guests.
I never thought that I could be my last confidant with a noble girl like Qin Wu.
After a long time, April slowly spoke: "When I leave the capital, everything about Qin Mansion will be mentioned to anyone again in this life."
"Thank you." Qin Xiong said.
——
September 16, the fourth year of Yanxi.
As it was getting bright, the girls who were running for election arrived at the Shenwu Gate at the north gate of the Forbidden City in mule carts.
Although Qin Madam had known that more than 5,000 beautiful girls were running for this year, he could not help but breathe when he stood here and looked at the gorgeously dressed up girl.
The fat swallows are thin and have their own advantages, and the spring scenery is just like this.
Xiu Numen's Gate entered the Shenwu Gate one after another and came to the Imperial Garden.
The managers of the twelve supervisors are all maintaining order.
An hour later, Zou Yang, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, clamped his throat and said, "Are you all in your own people? Is the palace gate closed?"
The young eunuch bowed and said, "Go back to my father-in-law, everyone is here, and the palace gate is locked early today."
"Hmm..." Eunuch Zou smiled and said, "Our family taught you yesterday, but do you still remember?"
The young eunuch said: "Of course I remember that later, I will help the girls who are too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, and unable to speak clearly."
Eunuch Zou said again: "How many can I help out?"
The little eunuch said: "Three thousand people."
Eunuch Zou raised his chin and said with satisfaction: "Go."
Immediately, more than a thousand eunuchs walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Every showgirl must be carefully looked at by them.
At noon, the sun shines brightly.
Qin Wu watched as the people in front of him became sparse.
There were more girls who helped her leave than those who left behind. Some didn't want to stay in the palace. The joy was beyond words, and some had strong self-esteem. They cried out with a "woosh".
Immediately, a young eunuch walked to Qin Xiong and circled around.
Qin Wu was wearing a coral satin floor-drawing skirt tailored by April, with a high bun, and a pair of ruby-shaped gold hairpins inserted diagonally on the bun. This outfit can not only highlight the good color of the jasper year, but also reveal its waist and snow-white neck.
It seems simple, but it hides a lot of scheming.
The little eunuch lowered his head and looked at the booklet and said, "Miss is..."
Qin Hun said word by word: "The daughter of Qin Taishi, Qin Hun, is sixteen years old."
Seeing that she was picturesque, with elegant words and good figure, the eunuch lowered her head and wrote the word "A" on the booklet.
After this, the first test was calculated.
After the first exam, the next day's re-examination will be.
The re-examination is much more complicated than the initial test. Simply put, the initial test is clear and turbid ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, neck, shoulders, back and sound.
What needs to be tested in the re-examination is the thickness, length, curve of the feet, color and other subtle points.
As long as one is not beautiful, you will be helped out by the eunuch.
Under such a rigorous screening, only 900 people were left.
Day 3.
At another dawn, the palace people carried four-corner palace lanterns and walked down the tall base one after another, leading the ladies into the secret room.
There are two old palace maids waiting in each secret room.
Qin Wu stood outside the secret room and couldn't help but sigh. She knew clearly what these old palace maids would do later.
In Qin Wu's view, the harem and court were places where water was clear and there was no fish.
As long as the emperor has not nodded and kept anyone, the showies may be tripped at any time.
The posture of the middle-aged man or the jade-colored fairy figure was all the moment the old palace maid wrote.
As soon as Qin Wu entered the secret room, an old palace maid smiled and said, "Please change your clothes, girl."
Qin Wu raised his arms, turned his wrists and stuffed two fine white jades into their cuffs.
This palace is full of human spirit. Once the weight drops, the fingertips pass through the jade face, you can guess what the color is.
The two old palace maids immediately raised the corners of their mouths.
Exploring his breasts, smelling his armpits, and smearing his texture is the last step in the draft. (1)
Qin Wu closed his eyes.
The two old palace maids stroked her body from bottom to top.
The palm of his palm passed through his armpit from behind and weighed it. Seeing that the weight was also excellent, the old palace maid couldn't help but say, "The girl's appearance is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen today. This blessing is behind."
A palace maid held a pen, and another palace maid began to recite: "Qin Maid, a girl from the Qin family, is sixteen years old, has a slender body and plump body, has white skin, moth eyebrows and white teeth, and has red cherry mouth. She has no hemorrhoids or ulcers, and has no black spots to cause and fall into various diseases. A class." (2)
Qin Wu got the word "A".
After passing the level of appearance, there are still people who need to examine the arts of calligraphy, poetry, and talk.
Five thousand changes to three hundred, and those who can stay are either famous girls from the Great Zhou Dynasty or stunning beauty with outstanding appearance.
But in fact, there are only ten people who get "double armor".
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the remaining 300 people who "passed through the hurdles and killed the generals" would move into Chuxiu Palace that night.
Four people in a room.
When Qin Wu entered the house, the other three girls were talking. When he saw her coming in, one of the girls in green blinked and smiled: "I remember you, are you getting double armor?"
As soon as they heard the word "Double Armor", the other two people's eyes became subtle in an instant. And it was only the women who understood that subtlety.
Qin Wu smiled faintly, "Miss is so memorable."
The woman in blue had a fair face and her eyes were as big as two black grapes. She smiled and said, "I am the ninth girl from the Duke of England, Luo Yingmao, which daughter are you?"
Qin Mausoleum said: "The eldest daughter of Qin family, Qin Mausoleum."
"Qin family? Which Qin family?" Luo Yingfu said: "Sister Qiao, do you know?"
Sister Qiao in her mouth shook her head.
Qin Wu's expression did not change, but he was thinking in his heart, Qiao?
The Su family and several Qiao surnames from the capital did not interact. In the past, she would not invite Qiao's daughter to talk to each other at the palace banquet, so she was not deeply impressed.
However, the Qiao family has no military achievements and no titles, and it is not the four great masters. This Miss Qiao should be under the Luo family’s daughter.
At this time, sitting on the black lacquer, mother-of-pearl bead-patterned incense table, the girl in the platycodon dress turned her head and said, "Are you the daughter of Taishi Qin?"
Qin Wu said: "Yes."
She looked at Qin Xi for a long time and said slowly: "I am the Mu family girl, Mu Wanqi."
Xue, He, Chu, Mu.
A first-class noble girl from a noble family.
Qin Wu said: "I have met Miss Mu."
Mu Wanqi nodded and said nothing.
Luo Yinghuan said again: "My mother likes to hold banquets most often, such as flower-appreciation banquets and Cuju competitions. Every month, she has new tricks. Sister Qin is so beautiful, why haven't I seen her before?"
The sister Qiao interrupted, "Is Miss Qin not from the capital?"
Qin Xiong continued to say softly: "Yes, the Qin family moved to the capital half a year ago."
Luo Yingzuo said, "Oh, so that's it."
To be continued...
