Chapter 365 Selection of beauties
Now, the second princess can only endure whatever the emperor says.
He has not agreed to let her go out to study.
"Studying... let's talk about it later." It
is not okay for a girl to go out with the students of the Imperial College, and it is even worse to go alone. She is a princess and represents the face of the royal family.
"The emperor is coming, the emperor is coming..."
Hui Yuan jumped up excitedly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is coming."
Concubine Ru was so excited that her face turned red, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The emperor actually skipped the flower hall and walked away from the side path.
What's wrong?
Is she a cannibal?
The second princess wiped her tears and glanced at the palace maid standing beside her: "Go and send this cloth to the clothing room, let them cut two suitable clothes for this princess."
If she really had a heart, why would she send velvet flower snow satin?
Spring is coming soon, and the weather in April is already getting hotter, but velvet fabrics are only worn in autumn and winter.
The Imperial Concubine is extremely intelligent and has a great foresight, how could she not know?
The Second Princess was suddenly shocked, yes!
How could she not know?
She knew it but still gave it to her, so she did it on purpose.
And this discovery made her more scared than when her father found out that she had belittled the Imperial Concubine with words.
Because the Imperial Concubine knew it a long time ago, she sent the velvet satin and whispered in her father's ear to make him come to see her, so that he could just happen to see what she just did.
She didn't need to do anything herself, her father would solve the problem for her.
Thinking of this, the Second Princess lay on the table and cried again.
It was too torturous to watch her mother being murdered while she had to live under the hands of her enemies.
She had to leave the palace.
The next day was a sunny day. The snow in the palace was melted by the sun, revealing a new look. Overnight, the scenery seemed to have rejuvenated, showing infinite greenery.
Under the wind and snow, the green grass sprouts were quietly blooming.
Rows of mule carriages were neatly lined up in front of the Shenwu Gate. The corners of the mule carriages were hung with bright red, pink, light red, pink and white flowers.
The ladies were divided according to their official positions and backgrounds.
The bright red ones were in the front, the pink ones were behind, and so on.
Tang Shiliang shook the whisk in his hand, glanced at the concubines who had already got off the carriage, and distributed all the eunuchs he brought with him to maintain order.
The concubines to be selected were not able to see the emperor at the beginning. These concubines were all beauties between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Not to mention those selected from official families, they would naturally have higher titles when the time came.
And those from the private sector were hired with silver coins, and were sent to the capital by their parents to gather, and then selected by the eunuchs, and could enter the palace in rows of one hundred.
Once in the palace, they had to be selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those who were too fat, too thin, too tall, or too short were not accepted and would be sent home.
On the second day, a nanny would check the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, neck, shoulders, and back. If any of them failed, another group of concubines would be sent out of the palace.
On the third day, an official will come to inform the eunuchs of the concubines’ origins and ages, and the maids will listen to the concubines’ voices.
No thick voices, no masculine voices, and no stuttering voices.
After that, it is the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace of Beauty to teach the aunts.
When Jiang Xinyue traveled through time, she had already passed the period of learning the rules, and the palace selection was over, so she did not experience this kind of torment.
Now, when she listens to the progress reports from her subordinates, she only thinks that the emperor is so lucky.
The concubines who have passed all the previous levels have to enter the secret room and have the maids check their armpits and... private parts to see if they are pure virgins.
Too perverted!
Jiang Xinyue was thankful that she didn't have to go through all this, otherwise she might have pretended to stutter during the speech test and sent herself out.
I heard that after all this, the girls' feet would be measured to see if they walked impatiently. They would have to live in the Chuxiu Palace for at least a month and learn the rules with the teaching aunts. Only when the aunts felt that they were gentle, tolerant, and well-mannered could they be brought in to the palace for selection.
So it was impossible to pull everyone in front of the emperor for selection as shown in previous TV dramas.
Thousands of girls entered the palace, but only a few hundred were finally able to enter the palace for selection.
And among these hundreds of people, those who were sent out of the palace because of intrigue among the girls had to be excluded.
It can be said that those who can stand in front of the emperor and Jiang Xinyue are not simple characters, either in appearance or in scheming.
The days when the concubines learn to behave are the best time to compete for novelty and beauty.
Yupin looked at the concubines who "accidentally met" the emperor not far away, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth: "There are so many people! Such a big palace seems crowded. The emperor has to go from Chengqian Palace to Hexi Palace every day. Those concubines are waiting on the road in groups. The purpose is too obvious." Those
with high levels will not be so impatient. Now all those who come out are little Karami.
Jiang Xinyue sent Yupin, Concubine Wen and Ye Guiren to the door. The emperor immediately left the concubines who were still nitpicking and trotted over.
"Is that the Imperial Concubine?"
I had only heard about her before, but now that I have seen her, I know that the words in the poem, "She is so charming when she looks back and smiles, and all the beauties in the palace are pale in comparison," are real.
Lady Cheng was so tired that she had to sell the emperor's itinerary to those concubines, but none of them worked.
Since the fall of the Pei family, Jiang Xinyue has been like a fish in water in the palace, free and easy. She just found out that her father had been working for Minister Pei. As
soon as the Pei family fell, Jiang Xinyue's father found out who was behind his father's death. Although he didn't have time to do anything big, how could there be hidden dangers around Minister Jiang?
The emperor has already demoted her father back to Guangxi, making him a small teacher in the county government.
She had never been favored by the emperor, and the gap between her and the imperial concubine was getting bigger and bigger. She almost gave up.
But she was unwilling to believe that the emperor would remain chaste for Jiang Xinyue. She just wanted to see if the two would fall apart after the emperor betrayed the imperial concubine.
She just can't stand to see Jiang Xinyue getting better.
The fight is still in full swing in Chuxiu Palace, and there is no peace in the harem either. It will be April 12th, the first birthday banquet of the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Ru came to the Second Princess's attic uninvited: "I heard that you don't like the Royal Concubine?"
The Second Princess glared at her: "What do you want to say?"
It's her business that she doesn't like Jiang Xinyue, what does it have to do with this foreigner?
"Then why don't you take action against the eldest princess?"
Concubine Ru looked at her with bright eyes: "The eldest princess is going to marry a man from the Jiang family, and she will be a member of the Jiang family in the future. They are your enemies. Why don't you take action against the eldest princess and disfigure her or clear her name? Isn't this what you people from Dayan value the most? As long as..."
