==Chapter 9 Entering the Palace==

The night before entering the palace.

Qin Juan and Si Yiyue were sitting in Lanxu Pavilion drinking tea.

The courtyard was deep and the wind was extremely cold. Qin Juan gathered her cloak and said, "Where will the four girls go after tomorrow?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." April put down the tea cup in her hand and smiled, "Probably, I will go to Jiangnan to have a look."

Hearing this, Qin Juan lowered her head and took out a few banknotes from her sleeves and put them in her hand.

After seeing it clearly in April, he quickly refused and said, "Miss Qin has given me enough. I deserve this money and I can't ask for it anymore."

"The fourth girl is both a teacher and a friend to me, so why should I feel ashamed? We will say goodbye tomorrow. It will be difficult for you and me to see each other again in this life. If you regard me as a confidant, then accept me." Qin Juan With a charming smile, he added: "Although silver is a bit vulgar, it is the most practical, right."

The tip of April's nose felt sour.

She is twenty this year and has been sold four times in total, but there are more than four men hanging around her.

Countless amounts of silver were thrown at her, but what fell into her hands were just a few silver hairpins.

She has endless plays to sing, debts to repay, and customers to accept.

I never thought that I could be a close friend with a noble girl like Qin Juan.

After a long time, April said slowly: "When I leave the capital, everything about the Qin Mansion will never be mentioned to anyone again in April."

"Thank you." Qin Chan said.

******

Yanxi four years, September 16th.

The sky was getting brighter, and the contestants were riding on mule carts one after another arriving at the Shenwu Gate at the north gate of the Forbidden City.

Although Qin Juan had known for a long time that there were more than 5,000 show girls participating in the election this year, but when she really stood here and looked at the beautiful show girls dressed in colorful clothes, she still couldn't help but take a breath.

The birds are fat and the swallows are thin, each has its own merits, but the garden is full of spring scenery, but it is just like this.

The beautiful women filed into the Shenwu Gate and came to the Imperial Garden.

The stewards of the Twelve Supervisors are all maintaining order.

An hour later, the **** Zou Yang, the **** and **** of the ceremony, said with a pinched voice: "Are everyone here? Is the palace gate closed?"

The young **** bowed and said: "Go back to my father-in-law, everyone is here, and the palace door has been locked early today."

"Well..." Eunuch Zou smiled and said, "Do you still remember what our family taught you yesterday?"

The young **** said: "Of course I remember that I will look at the beautiful women later. Those who are too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, and those who cannot pronounce clearly will have to be helped out."

Eunuch Zou asked again: "How much help will be given?"

The little **** said: "Three thousand people."

Eunuch Zou raised his chin and said with satisfaction: "Go ahead."

Soon, more than a thousand eunuchs walked towards the imperial garden.

Every show girl must be carefully looked at by them.

At noon, the sun shines brightly.

Qin Juan watched as the people in front of him became sparse.

More beautiful ladies were helped away than left. Some of them did not want to stay in the palace, and their joy was beyond words. Some of them had strong self-esteem and burst into tears with a "woo".

Soon, a young **** walked up to Qin Juan and walked around in a circle.

Qin Juan wore a floor-length coral satin skirt that was hand-tailored by April. She wore a high bun with a pair of cloud-shaped gold hairpins inlaid with rubies. The beautiful color of Jasper Nianhua can also reveal the waist and snow-white neck.

It seems simple, but it hides a lot of scheming.

The little **** lowered his head and glanced at the booklet and said, "The girl is..."

Qin Juan said word by word: "The daughter of Qin Taishi, Qin Juan, is sixteen years old."

Seeing her picturesque features, elegant pronunciation and good figure, the little **** lowered his head on the book and wrote the word "A".

After this, this first test has been passed.

After the initial test, there will be a retest the next day.

The retest is much more complicated than the initial test. To put it simply, the initial test tests the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, neck, shoulders, back and voice.

The retest will test details such as the thickness and length of the wrist, the curvature of the foot, and color.

As long as one area is not beautiful, the **** will help him out.

Under such strict screening, only 900 people remained from more than 5,000 people.

The third day.

At dawn again, the palace people carried four-cornered palace lanterns, walked down the tall platform one after another, and led the ladies into the secret room.

There are two old palace ladies waiting inside each secret room.

Qin Juan stood outside the secret room and couldn't help but sigh. She knew exactly what these old palace ladies would do later.

In Qin Juan's view, both the harem and the court are places where there are no fish if the water is clear.

As long as the emperor has not nodded to retain someone, the beautiful ladies may be tripped up at any time.

The appearance of the middle-aged man or the jade-colored immortal posture were all at the moment when Lao Gong'e put pen to paper.

As soon as Qin Chanfu entered the secret room, he heard an old palace lady smile and say: "Please, girl, change your clothes."

Qin Juan raised her arms, turned her wrists, and stuffed two fine mutton-fat white jade into their cuffs.

This palace is full of human spirits. As soon as the weight falls, and the fingertips run across the jade surface, you can guess its approximate color.

The two old ladies immediately raised their eyebrows.

Exploring their breasts, smelling their armpits, and feeling their texture are the last steps in the talent show. (1)

Qin Juan closed her eyes.

The two old maids caressed her body from bottom to top.

Putting her palms from behind to her armpits, she weighed it. Seeing that the weight was good, the old palace lady couldn't help but said: "The girl's appearance is the most beautiful I have seen today. This blessing lies behind me."

One palace maid wrote, and another palace maid began to read: "Qin Juan, a daughter of the Qin family, is sixteen years old. She has a beautiful and plump body, with muscles like white jade, eyebrows and white teeth, a mouth like red cherry blossoms, and no hemorrhoids or ulcers. , no sunspots causing any disease, etc. Class A." (2)

Qin Juan got another "A" character.

After passing the level of appearance, there are still dedicated people to examine calligraphy, arithmetic, poetry and conversation.

Five thousand becomes three hundred, and those who can be left behind are either the noble ladies of the Zhou Dynasty or the stunning beauties with outstanding appearance.

But in fact, there are only ten people who have received "double armor".

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the remaining three hundred people who had "passed the test" had to move into Chuxiu Palace that night.

Four people in a room.

When Qin Juan entered the room, the other three girls were talking. As soon as they saw her coming in, one of the girls in Tsing Yi blinked and said with a smile: "I remember you, you have double armor, right?"

As soon as they heard the word "double armor", the eyes of the other two people instantly became subtle. And only women understand that subtlety.

Qin Jing smiled faintly and said, "Girl, you have a good memory."

The woman in Tsing Yi has a fair face and eyes as big as two black grapes. She smiled and said: "I am the ninth girl of the British government, Luo Yingju, which family are you a daughter of?"

Qin Juan said: "Qin's eldest daughter, Qin Juan."

"Qin family? Which Qin family?" Luo Yingju said: "Sister Qiao, do you know?"

Sister Qiao in her mouth shook her head.

Qin Juan’s expression did not change, but she was thinking in her heart, Mrs. Qiao?

The Su family has no contact with several people named Qiao in the capital. In the past, she would not specially invite Qiao's daughters to the palace banquets, so she was not very impressed.

However, the Qiao family has no military exploits, no title, and is not one of the four great families. This girl Qiao should be lower than the daughter of the Luo family.

At this time, the girl sitting on the black lacquer incense table inlaid with mother-of-pearl beads and wearing a platycodon-colored skirt tilted her head and said, "Are you the daughter of Qin Taishi?"

Qin Chan said: "Yes."

She looked at Qin Juan for a long time and said slowly: "I am the daughter of the Mu family, Mu Wanqi."

Xue, He, Chu, Mu.

A first-class noblewoman from a noble family.

Qin Chan said: "I have met Miss Mu."

Mu Wanqi nodded but said nothing.

Luo Yingjue added: "My mother likes to hold banquets the most on weekdays. There are flower viewing banquets and Cuju competitions. There are new tricks every month. Sister Qin is so beautiful. How come I haven't seen her before?"

Sister Qiao interjected: "Could it be that...Miss Qin is not from the capital?"

Qin Juan continued softly: "Yes, the Qin family just moved to the capital half a year ago."

Luo Yingju said: "Oh, that's it."

Luo Yingju held her chin and sighed: "Hey, I have never been out of the capital. Sister Qin, where were you before coming to the capital? Luoyang or Suzhou?"

Qin Juan smiled and said: "The ancestral home is in Qian'an. Apart from Qian'an, I have never been to other places."

Where can she live?

At the age of seventeen, he lived in the Jin Palace, and at the age of nineteen, he lived in the Kunning Palace.

She has never been to Qian'an.

Miss Qiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Luo, what's the use of sighing now? Once you officially enter the palace, you won't be able to go anywhere in the future."

"What did Sister Qiao say? Did you laugh at me on purpose?" Luo Yingjue's cheeks turned red, which was the unique shyness of her daughter's family.

Miss Qiao continued: "How can I laugh at you? Sister Luo is the apple of the eye of the British government, and her children are beautiful and fragrant. His Majesty will definitely keep your brand."

"How dare you even make fun of His Majesty." Luo Yingju quickly covered her mouth.

After a moment, Miss Qiao lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than three years, why is the draft just this year?"

Luo Yingju said: "I heard it was the late queen..."

Mu Wanqi couldn't help but frowned and said, "Lu Shang will come over after bed later and be more careful in what you say."

Miss Qiao doesn’t look very pretty.

Mu Wanqi said directly: "Lu Shang is a fourth-rank female official. She discusses the affairs of the inner court privately. Be careful that she punishes you."

Qin Huan was just thinking about which palace the eldest prince would live in when he heard the words "Lu Shang sleeps".

My heart couldn't help but thump.

The young eunuchs and palace maids I saw in the past two days were either new faces, or they had never served in the inner court before, but this Lu...

Before her heart dropped, she heard the door creaking open.

Lu Shang's eyes were serious, his hands were placed under his chest, and he was about to speak when he and Qin Juan looked at each other first.

There was silence.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Shang fell to his knees on the ground with a pop and said in a trembling voice: "The Queen!"
