The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate.
Zhi Ran got off the carriage and saw a group of beautiful women. Everyone was tidying up their clothes and waiting for the Emperor to announce the decree. In the crowd, there was a woman dressed in colorful clothes. Her fair oval face looked a little alluring under the sun. Her small lips were red, and her slightly upturned eyes revealed a kind of disdain. The golden hairpin on her hair was sparkling. "Sister's clothes are really beautiful.”A woman at the side complimented. "Of course. This is a material gifted by the Empress Dowager. You must have never seen the Heaven Flower of Su embroidery.”She pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and gave it to the woman who praised her, saying,"This is a golden hairpin, extremely expensive. Seeing that you have a sweet mouth, this prince will reward you. If little sister is fortunate enough to serve the emperor, this elder sister will definitely treat little sister well.”
"BenGong?"
"Didn't she come with us? Why do you call yourself that?"
"She's so arrogant and conceited. Why doesn't she even know etiquette?”The ladies discussed animatedly.
She looked at the surrounding girls and smiled contemptuously."Aiya, you guys don't know? I was personally conferred by the Empress Dowager. I only came to the palace on the same day as you.”Then, a eunuch came and knelt down when he saw her.""This servant sends greetings to Consort Xin Pin." Xin Pin stroked the peony on the flag and lazily replied,"Forget it, get up. What is it?"
"Niangniang, your palace has already been arranged. It's at Yi Kun Palace. This servant will lead the way for you. You must be tired from the journey, so go and rest early.”
"Sure, please, Gonggong."
Xin Pin walked past the woman again and whispered,""Bring that hairpin, the emperor will definitely like it. What's your name?”
"My daughter, Chen Ruoqin, has a cheap life."
"Ruoqin, alright, bengong will remember you. When you enter the palace in the future, bengong will definitely take good care of you.”
Ruoqin was flattered and quickly knelt down.""Many thanks for Consort Xin Pin's love." After Xin Pin finished speaking, she shook her golden branches and jade leaves and left.
"Look, you haven't even entered the palace and you've already hooked up with a Xin Pin Niangniang. You really have foresight.”A woman beside her said to her," Aiya, look at your foxy appearance. You look even more enchanting with that golden hairpin. Sisters, what do you think?”The girls covered their mouths and laughed. Ruoqin was very embarrassed and could only say,""Elder sister, don't say that about younger sister. Younger sister's natural appearance is not as beautiful as elder sister's. Moreover, whether or not she can be chosen to enter the palace today is still uncertain. May I ask your name?"
"How can you ask about my name? Alright, then let me tell you. My father is the current general, Wang Lingcheng. I am my father's most beloved daughter…"
"You are Wang Guanling?" A woman in the crowd suddenly said.
"Yes, that's right. But how did you know?”
"Sister, you are really forgetful. I am Gu Shiliang's daughter. My father and your father are both generals. We played together when we were young.”
"Ah! You are Gu Xiangzhu! Sister Xiangzhu, long time no see!”
While they were talking, Zhi Ran was also watching the commotion. "If these people enter the palace, there will be a commotion in the harem.”Zhi Ran smiled slightly." Mother is right. The harem is indeed a place of suffering, eh? I actually don't want to be selected into the palace…" Before Zhi Ran could finish thinking, a eunuch came."Ladies, the time has come. Line up properly and wait for the eunuch over there to pass down the decree.”" Yes..." The ladies returned the greeting.
Zhi Ran waited quietly according to the groups. The first batch entered.
" The daughter of the Guangxi Prefect, Chen, has come to see you." Chen Ruoqin quickly took a step forward." My daughter, Chen Ruoqin, greets the Emperor and Empress Dowager. I wish the Emperor and Empress Dowager a long and healthy life."”"Ruoqin?" Ruoqin nodded. The golden hairpin on her head shone brightly under the sunlight. The Emperor looked at her golden hairpin. For a simple and elegant woman to use a golden hairpin to embellish her, it was really the finishing touch. "You, stay." "Thank you, Emperor!" Ruoqin thanked him. Guan Ling glanced at her from the corner of her eyes.
"The Manchurian White Flag Wang Clan is here to see you…" Wang Guanling stepped forward and knelt down."My daughter Wang Guanling greets the Emperor and Empress Dowager. May the Emperor live long and the Empress Dowager live as long as the East Sea.”"You're so sweet." The Empress Dowager covered her mouth and laughed. The Emperor saw the Empress Dowager laugh and nodded,""You stay." "Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Empress Dowager!" He stood up and took a step back, then glanced at Ruoqin.
" The second batch of audience-" the eunuch summoned.
"This official's daughter, Gu Xiangzhu, pays her respects to the emperor and empress dowager.”"Gu Xiangzhu, are you Gu Shiliang's daughter?”"Yes, this official's daughter thanks the emperor for his concern.”"Your father has made outstanding military achievements. I can't mistreat you.”"Thank you, Emperor."
As more and more people entered, Zhi Ran began to feel a little uneasy. " The fifth batch of audience--" Zhi Ran quickly followed the others in. After walking for a while, they were surrounded by tall palace walls. There was not even a bird in the sky. Wouldn't this mean that people who lived in the palace for a long time would never be able to meet their families? After walking for a while, they arrived at the main hall. The beautiful women stood in a row, facing the main hall. According to the rules, they were not allowed to look up at the Emperor and Empress Dowager. "Salute!" the eunuch shouted. The beautiful women knelt down and kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. " The Han army's Yellow Banner Luo clan is here to see you." Zhi Ran hurriedly stepped forward." My daughter Luo Zhi Ran greets the Emperor and Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."”
"Luo Zhiran…you're Luo Xianjun's daughter?”
"Yes."
"Hmm…your father is one of my loyal subjects! Everyone else was dressed in eye-catching clothes, so why was he dressed in azure?”
"Replying to the emperor, as the saying goes,'Clear water produces hibiscus'. Since all the sisters are so gorgeously dressed, there is no need for me to be gorgeous anymore.”
"Haha, what a good 'Hibiscus in Clear Water'! I want you to stay. There's no need for anything else.”
Zhi Ran was stunned for a moment. It was so easy to enter the palace? Following the nanny to the small door, the nanny said to Zhi Ran,"Young Lady, come with me. As for the rest, you can go back and go out through that door.”Zhi Ran looked at those dejected figures and suddenly felt pity for them. "Sigh, who said that not being selected is definitely a curse and not a blessing…"
As she thought about it, she followed the nanny to Chuxiu Palace. There were already a few people in Chuxiu Palace. Zhi Ran looked at them and thought that she would be serving the Emperor with them in the future. "The emperor is only twenty-eight years old this year, so he should be a handsome man.”Zhi Ran thought about it and found it funny. Was she looking forward to her husband's appearance?# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
