"Princess, please speak."
"It's well known that neither the previous emperor nor the current emperor has ever announced intermarriage between the Manchus and the Khans. You said that my entry into the palace selection was probably just a formality."
"Princess, you have committed a serious taboo. Please do not discuss state affairs."
Wow!
Xu Chu was secretly unhappy. She was not discussing state affairs, but just wanted to ask Nanny Lin how to return safely.
"Madam Lin, you misunderstood. What I meant was, can I come back safely?"
Nanny Lin was stunned and looked at Xu Chu in disbelief.
This is a talent show, a chance to rise to the top and become a phoenix!
Xu Chu actually disdained to be chosen!
"Why?"
"Everyone has their own aspirations, Madam Lin." This was the only answer Xu Chu could give.
Nanny Lin just nodded and didn't say anything.
Seeing that Nanny Lin was silent, Xu Chu urged, "Please tell me, Nanny Lin."
"Princess, since you don't want to be chosen, then this old slave has nothing to teach you."
What the hell!
Why didn't you remind her?
Xu Chu moved the corners of his mouth and could only bear it for the time being.
The next day, just as the sky was turning light, she was awakened by Xiaobing.
"Princess, it's time to get dressed."
Get dressed up early in the morning!
It’s just a talent show!
Anyway, her final result was just a formality!
No matter how beautifully she dresses, she will still be eliminated.
Because Xiaobing and Xiaoqing had never learned how to dress in the palace, even Nanny Li didn't dare to do it, so this time Nanny Lin personally combed their hair.
Xu Chu didn't expect that it would take nearly an hour to comb his hair.
The carriage had already been prepared outside, and her brother Lu Tenglong had asked the servant to come and urge her several times.
Nanny Lin responded, "Don't be careless. You need to take your time to dress up, otherwise you will be disrespectful during the talent show."
An hour later, her makeup was finally completed.
Xu Chu looked at the person in the bronze mirror and felt mixed emotions.
Why……
If she wasn't the one going into the palace today, Hui'er must have gone in as well.
Nalan Rong must be sad.
Because registration and inspection were to begin in the morning, Xu Chu felt that he might not have a chance to eat today, so he ate a few more bites of breakfast.
"Chu Chu, look at the way you eat..." Mrs. Lu Zhang simply couldn't bear to watch it.
"Remember, don't be so rude in the palace."
Before Xu Chu even swallowed his food, he said, "I understand, mother."
"Brother, let's go."
Her brother Lu Tenglong is busy with official duties every day, so it is basically difficult to see him.
But he looks gentle, not as rough as a military general.
"Brother, do you want me to be chosen?"
Lu Tenglong was stunned and looked at Xu Chu in surprise.
His sister has always been well-behaved and docile.
She usually doesn't talk much, but today she took the initiative to ask him.
"Then would you be willing?" he asked.
Xu Chu shrugged, "Of course I don't want to!"
Lu Tenglong naturally frowned, "Why?"
This… Xu Chu was stunned for a moment and replied, “I’m fighting for freedom.”
free?
Lu Tenglong was surprised again. Lu Xuchu was her only sister, so he naturally didn't want Xuchu to be trapped in the deep palace.
But the emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed!
What has happened cannot be changed!
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace gate of the Forbidden City. Because Lu Tenglong had greeted the leader of the Han army's Bordered White Banner before, he personally escorted the carriage to the outside of Shenwu Gate today. When they were almost in front of Shenwu Gate, Lu Tenglong asked the servant to stop the carriage.
"Sister, entering the palace for the selection is no joke. Remember not to force yourself to be the center of attention. Just maintain your current quiet demeanor."
In order not to make Lu Tenglong worry, Xu Chu pretended to be obedient and nodded, "Yes, Xu Chu will remember it."
But she hadn't waited for Lu Tenglong's answer, "Brother, where's your answer?"
Lu Tenglong was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "Of course I agree with you."
When Xu Chu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"If I'm not chosen, you have to take good care of me for the rest of my life."
"Okay." Lu Tenglong agreed readily.
However, he also made a plan. If he was not selected, it would be a good thing. He would then find a marriage for Xu Chu.
"Okay, get out of the car."
Hearing about the changes in Xu Chu during this period, Lu Tenglong couldn't help but remind him again, "I have already taken care of the other things. Remember not to get involved."
Xu Chu naturally knew that arrogant people die early.
"Xu Chu, I've kept this in mind."
Because the selection system was strict, the Han army bannermen were ranked last.
Xu Chu got off the carriage and inadvertently saw a man standing dejectedly at the palace gate.
Nalan Rongruo!
Is he actually coming to send Hui'er off in such a high-profile manner?
Xu Chu just took a quick glance and immediately turned his eyes away.
Because Lu Tenglong had made all the arrangements, Xu Chu naturally joined the Han army's Bordered White Banner team under the registration of the eunuch.
The convoy set off in the evening after all the carriages had arrived.
Luckily, she had eaten a large breakfast that morning, otherwise she would have fainted from hunger. Fortunately, there was also some food in the car, just in case.
Finally, in the evening, the convoy started to set off.
They passed through Shenwu Gate and arrived outside Shunzhen Gate.
This is her first time to visit the Forbidden City!
Oh my god!
Although it is the same as in later generations, its glory can be better reflected now.
Because they were the last Han army bannermen, they arrived at around noon.
