"This servant will obey!" A leading auntie answered. It should be that Granny Xu, right? I looked around. So many people…so many women…Damn, are all of them beautiful women? The emperor was really fickle!
Ling Xiaoyi turned around and left after giving his instructions. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Farewell, Emperor!" All the female cultivators and nannies bowed and shouted.
Hey! You're leaving me here alone? Then what should I do?
"Ai, the emperor looked at me just now. I will definitely be chosen!”
"No, the emperor is looking at me!"
"The emperor is really handsome, as expected of a dragon among men!”
Uh…the moment the handsome emperor left, the hall exploded with chatter. However, what happened next was something I didn't want to face.
"Who is she? Why did the emperor personally bring her here?"
"Hmph, she's most likely the daughter of some rich merchant. With her beauty, the chances of the sisters are reduced by another 10%.”Who was going to marry the Emperor? I didn't say I'm going to marry the emperor! I won't have a man with you! What a bunch of old-fashioned people. They have long hair but short knowledge. What I want is monogamy. Who's like you guys? You want to marry the most playboy of this era and shamelessly want to be a mistress, a fourth, a fifth, and a sixth!
"Silence!" Granny Xu immediately stopped her. Then she turned to me and asked,"How should I address this lady?"
"My surname is Wenren, and my name is Mei.”I replied.
"Alright, Miss Wenren, I will be in charge of training you for the next ten days. Please take out your pretty girl token.”Granny Xu said seriously.
Many question marks instantly popped up in my mind. What show girl card? I didn't? I looked at her in confusion." What show?”
"It's just a small token. It's divided into nine colors: white, green, blue, cyan, yellow, orange, red, purple, and gold.”Granny Xu carefully examined the woman in front of her. Although her attire was very strange, she was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary way of speaking. This woman was definitely not an ordinary person. Most of the women who were chosen had a green to orange token. Only a few daughters of ministers had a red token. Seeing that the woman was personally brought by the emperor, compared to the emperor's liking, she should have a red token.
So it was this. The emperor took out a small golden plate from behind me and gave it to me. So I took out the golden token from my pocket.
"What is it? How is that possible?" Granny Xu turned pale with fright as she looked at me. Even the other beautiful women looked at me in surprise when they saw the sign I took out. The hall began to chatter again. Is there a mistake? Why are you so surprised? Could it be that there were levels to the tokens? Could it be that my level is too low and I'm being laughed at?
"Miss Wenren, who gave you this token?”Granny Xu asked cautiously, and even the way she addressed him became more respectful. Actually, she knew the answer without even asking. The nine tokens represented nine different levels. The palace painters would first draw portraits of all the beauties and then hand them over to the emperor. The emperor would divide the beauties into different levels according to his liking and distribute different tokens. If a female didn't receive the token, it meant that she didn't have the chance to enter the harem. If a female received the white token and was chosen by the emperor, she would be conferred the title of Tenth Grade Young Master. If the emperor chose a girl with a green token, she would be given different titles from the ninth rank to the ninth rank. If the beautiful girl who got the blue token was selected, she would be given different titles from the eighth rank to the eighth rank. If the young lady who obtained the green token was selected, she would be given different titles from the sixth grade to the seventh grade. If the female cultivator who got the yellow token was selected, they would be given different titles from the fifth rank to the fifth rank. If the beautiful girl who got the orange token was selected, she would be given different titles from the third to the fourth level. If the Xiunu who got the red token was selected, they would be given different titles from the second rank to the second rank. If the Xiunu who got the purple token was selected, they would be given different titles from the first rank to the first rank. However, two years ago, when Consort Xian was a Xiunu, she received the purple Xiunu token from the Emperor and was directly given the title of the first rank of the Shu Consort. Gold was the color of the royal family. Only the emperor and empress had the right to wear pure gold clothes. It was obvious that gold was a symbol of power. If one obtained the golden Xiunu plaque, it was very likely that they would be conferred the title of empress! There was only one Golden Lady Token, and no one dared to fake it! Then the one standing in front of him…was very likely to be the future empress?!
"The emperor gave it to me. Is there a problem?”I replied doubtfully.
"Ah! No, Miss Wenren. In the next ten days, this servant will teach you the etiquette of the palace and the way to serve the emperor. It may be a little difficult, so please learn from this servant carefully.”Granny Xu lowered her head and said.
Sigh! I've read some history books that describe how beautiful women are trained. From the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, to the Book of Songs and etiquette, they have to learn everything! Damn ancient system! Since he was already here, he would just take it as it was! I sighed and shook my head helplessly."Alright then." After that, Granny Xu brought me to a very exquisitely decorated room. Although it was very beautiful, it was not as pleasing to the eye as modern equipment. I'll slowly get used to it. I carefully looked at this room and felt that something was missing…Oh right, it was a little less lively. It must have been a long time since anyone lived here, right? However, there was not a single speck of dust on the furniture. It seemed that someone came to clean this place every day.
"Miss Wenren, please rest for today. We will start the ceremony tomorrow.”Granny Xu said," Lian 'er, Ye' er, come in.”As she spoke, two little girls around the age of 13 or 14, wearing white and green floral dresses, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Granny Xu, do you have any instructions?" A slightly timid voice came out of their mouths.
"Lian 'er, Ye' er, from now on, you will serve Miss Wenren as her personal maids. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!" Granny Xu said seriously.
"Yes, this servant will obey!" The two little girls immediately turned pale in fear and lowered their heads even lower. How could he threaten a little girl like this…
"Miss Wenren, this servant will take my leave. If you need anything, please feel free to instruct me.”
"Yes, alright." Granny Xu took her leave.
I turned to look at the two little girls and asked,"Which one of you is Lian 'er and who is Ye' er?”
"This servant is Lian 'er!" The taller girl replied.
"This servant is Ye 'er!" the other replied.
"How old are you?"
"Young miss, this servant is thirteen years old.”Lian 'er replied.
"This servant will be thirteen in a few months.”Ye 'er replied.
"Yes, what are your specialties?”
Lian 'er and Ye' er looked at each other and said,"This servant does not understand what young miss is saying.”
"So what do you all know how to do?”
"This servant knows embroidery and sewing. This servant knows a little bit of all needlework.”Lian 'er replied.
