Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 121

"I believe you all also want to know, what is the purpose of this palace in such a random ranking?" Yun Qing couldn't help but smiled slightly when he saw the suspicion and fear on everyone's faces, and said:

"Actually, you don't have to worry. I don't use this method to decide whether you will stay or not! This is the method of selecting the show jointly discussed by me and Concubine Hua. I will select 58 of the show girls you have named. Famous beautiful girls will appear, and Concubine Hua will select another [-] beautiful girls from another batch of beautiful girls in the side hall.

Then, when the emperor goes to court, the palace will send people to invite him to come here and personally select the beautiful women who will fill the harem.At that time, you will be promoted from a beautiful girl to a concubine in the palace, and you will be comparable to me and others, that is, sisters! ".


Hearing this, everyone couldn't help showing joy, and they all smiled beautifully, thanking each other in unison.

Because after this batch of selections, there were only 130 selected girls, and now the empress can accommodate [-] people, which means that everyone's chances have increased a lot, and naturally everyone is happy.


"The Queen's sister is kind, you must live up to the Queen's painstaking efforts!" He Ruowan stood up with a smile, and then said to Yun Qing: "Then my sister will go there first. If my sister needs help from her, just mention it, but don't worry about it." Tired."

After finishing speaking, she glanced casually at Yun Ya in the crowd, met her eyes, and smiled knowingly.


When Yun Qingchu brought up this selection plan, He Ruowan disagreed. Later Yunqing said that only a few beautiful girls will be selected this time, and the final right to stay should be decided by the emperor, so she can no longer object.

The latter two discussed, Yun Qing and her each chose half, due to the number of people, it was agreed that Yun Qing would choose [-] out of [-], and He Ruowan would choose [-] out of [-].


And the two people's assessment items are also determined by each of them, but if they have to choose from the list of those dignitaries, kings and great merchants, they need to decide together.

Therefore, the current selection ceremony is just a formality, and those who are left are naturally some internal candidates, while the candidates who are eliminated can only be women who are sent up by some folks and have no power.


So Yun Qing couldn't help sighing, the rich and powerful were always very attractive, and she couldn't blame herself for sitting in this latter position, which only caused a lot of criticism.

Therefore, after He Ruowan left, Yun Qing ordered everyone to line up in order of age, and then looked at everyone's faces one by one, and said with a smile:

"In fact, I really want to keep you all, but the palace has rules, and I can't be the master. Now I want to ask you a question. If you can answer it, I will keep it. If you can't answer If you come out, you can retreat on your own."


"Yes, please tell me clearly." All the beautiful girls bowed their heads in unison, only one of them raised his head high and looked at Yun Qing with disdain.

Bi Tao could see clearly that that person was Yun Ya—the Fourth Miss of the Yun Mansion who always liked to make things difficult for young ladies.


Yun Qing also saw Yun Ya's sarcastic gaze, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just ordered the maid beside him: "Little Taohong, Bitao, quickly spread out the pens, inks, papers and inkstones that I asked you to prepare. Ling Ge, prepare the hourglass. Take your time."


"Yes!" Following Yun Qing's instructions, the palace servants brought by Jinfeng Palace immediately got to work, making all the beautiful girls stunned for a moment, wondering what the empress wanted to test them?

"I believe that most of the beautiful ladies are from scholarly families, and they are the daughters of merchants. I have also investigated them. They are all familiar with poetry and books since they were young. In terms of talent, they should not be inferior.

Now, please make an impromptu poem with each of your names. The lines must rhyme neatly, and the time for your name to appear in the poem is within an hourglass. Those that exceed and those that do not correspond will be eliminated.As for those who are outstanding, I will directly list them without entering the next competition.Ling Ge, the timer starts. ".


Yun Qing turned a blind eye to the doubts in the eyes of all the beautiful girls, and when he saw that the paper inkstone below was laid out, he raised his hand and asked Ling Ge to start the timer.

After Yun Qing's words fell, all the show girls realized that the test the queen wanted to test them was actually based on their own names.

Although it is not difficult to say, it is not easy if you want to compete quickly and stand out in a short period of time.

Fortunately, as Yun Qing said, all the girls have been familiar with poetry and books since they were young, and this kind of small test is not something that can easily stump them.


Especially Yun Ya, after listening to Yun Qing's question, she even sneered and said in a low voice, "Childish.".

Her words made the two women next to her look at the queen worriedly, but seeing that the queen didn't seem to pay attention to them, they picked up their pens and meditated quietly on the exam questions.


Yun Qing looked at the girls silently, but saw some people frowning slightly, hesitating to write;

From time to time, as soon as the hourglass time came, Ling Ge loudly ordered to withdraw the pen, and everyone stopped immediately, waiting quietly for the maid to come to collect the scroll.


After Xiao Taohong collected it, Yun Qing took a closer look at each of them, and found that everyone had already written it; except for a few verses that were a little too hard to deal with, there were three other people who wrote it so outstandingly that she couldn't help praising it. nod.


"Everyone is really beautiful and wise, and they all did a good job. It's just that these five cards are relatively clumsy. I will put them aside for the time being. You five will come out automatically!" Five beautiful girls automatically stood aside, their faces gloomy.


"Little Taohong, let's take them down to receive the reward." With a wave of Yun Qing's sleeves, the five show girls were led out of the hall by Xiao Taohong, and they directly withdrew from the draft.

The rest of the people immediately became tense, and the relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared. They felt inexplicably more in awe of this seemingly casual but always surprising queen.


"Everyone, don't be nervous. I believe that whether you are selected or eliminated, your life has already begun today! I hope you will go on bravely, and if you choose, don't look back." Yun Qing's eyes were soft, and his words were sincere, Some show girls couldn't help being deeply moved after hearing this, and their impression of this queen suddenly increased a lot.
