Long Harem Road

Chapter 3

At this moment, there was the sound of orderly footsteps outside the courtyard, and an eunuch in a red embroidered python eunuch uniform walked in, followed by four young eunuchs in blue glossy eunuch uniforms.

The beautiful ladies immediately stood together dignifiedly, silently, this eunuch in red was Li Mingzhong, the head servant who had served the emperors in two dynasties, no one dared to underestimate him.

Li Mingzhong stood still, without squinting, and shouted in a moderate voice, "The emperor has a decree, every five people have an audience!" After speaking, he took a book from a young eunuch behind him. The brochure of beautiful girls, after reading the names of five beautiful girls, they left with five people.

About half an hour later, another eunuch came in and brought five beautiful girls in.

Two hours later, Ji Baozhu's name finally appeared, and the five people lowered their heads and followed the leading eunuch, walked through the corridor, through the colorful garden, and finally saw the shining guard of honor in front of them.

Ji Baozhu knelt down respectfully, staring at the back of his hand, secretly cursing the evil imperial power in his heart, and knelt down at every turn.

"Come on, let's all stand by the side first." The big boss finally spoke, and the five respectfully got up and stood by the side in order.

"See you, Wang Yanran!" came the voice of the chief eunuch.

Baozhu felt the purple-clothed girl standing on the far left take a few trembling steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed with a plop, and made a still trembling voice:
"The queen of Wang Chaoyang, the minister's fourth-rank minister of rites, kowtows to my emperor, long live the queen mother, and the empress dowager!"

After a pause, the Queen's crisp voice came from above, "Get up."

Seeing that the emperor and the queen mother didn't intend to go on, the queen also waved her hand, "Go down." Wang Yanran turned pale and was taken out.

The second and third were probably too nervous, and they couldn't even speak clearly, so they were taken down directly.

"The next one, see you Ma Lijuan!"

After a while, a soft voice came, "Ma Lijuan, the daughter of governor Shi Ma Wenzhong in the sixth rank of courtiers, kowtows to my emperor, long live my emperor, thousand years old empress dowager, and thousand years old empress empress!"

"Well, come on, your voice is sweet and melodious, what talent do you have?" The queen asked patiently, probably because she felt that this person's family background was not outstanding and would not pose any threat to her.

"If you go back to your mother, the courtier is good at dancing."

"Oh, let's show it."

"Yes!"

Baozhu didn't know how Ma Lijuan's dance was. She kept her head down and stared at her shoes, but from her calm question and answer, she was sure that this woman was not simple.

"Well, that's right, let's keep it, and give you Zhuhua!", Seeing the emperor, the empress dowager said without any indication.

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Ma Lijuan was taken away.

"The next one, see you Ji Baozhu!"

Ji Baozhu took a deep breath, and slowly stepped forward and knelt down to salute, everything was flowing, elegant and noble:
"My daughter is the daughter of Ji Mingyun, the Minister of the Second Rank Household Department. Ji Baozhu kowtowed to see my emperor, my empress, my empress, my empress, and my empress!".

Elegant light green veiled dress, refreshing moon bun, and a white jade hairpin. Zhao Zhen, who has been looking at the colorful and generous dress for a long time, has already been tired of aesthetics in the hot summer.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and there was a sense of refreshment, which finally made his heart no longer so irritable, and it was the minister's daughter whom he valued so much, so he said, "Get up, raise your head!"

Baozhu heard the refreshing but majestic voice above, knew that this was the emperor, the man she would entangle with for the rest of her life, and slowly got up.

She raised her long eyelashes, took a look, and lowered her eyes gracefully, staring at the emperor's feet. Her makeup was fresh and elegant, her eyes were clear and pure, her lips were slightly pink, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a perfect smile and cute little swirls.

Zhao Zhen thinks that he has seen all kinds of beauties, and there are many people who are all over the world, but this woman is not as good as he wants.And the eyes that looked at him, did not have the panic and shyness of other women.

Just a light glance, it's clearly just a girl's clear but dark and deep, calm, seems to be able to see into his heart; bowed his head seemingly respectful, but Zhao Zhen felt that her heart was not so respectful on the surface.

Zhao Zhen thought he was good-looking, but this woman just took a glance and didn't respond, which made the always confident emperor a little upset, he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and murmured, "It's interesting!".

If Ji Baozhu knew what Zhao Zhen was thinking, he would definitely spit on him, nonsense, I have studied your preferences for beautiful women for many years, and then I researched this outfit, can you not let you take a second look.

Every man has a perfect woman in his heart, and men are first and foremost visual animals.

Besides, I haven't seen any kind of handsome man in my previous life, and I still need a stallion like you.

The queen saw the emperor raised the corner of his mouth to show a smile, although it was extremely small, but she, who had been paying attention to the emperor, found out that when she saw the young and beautiful girl in front of her, the alarm bell sounded in her heart. Enemy, pay close attention.

"Well! That's right, there's no need to show your talent, just keep it and give it to Zhuhua!", the emperor is not hypocritical, the so-called talent is just icing on the cake to him, he doesn't care at all, this one has watched it for so long The only one who was a little interested stayed directly.

The queen mother said, "Well, yes, he is a man who knows the rules, step back, go home and wait for the imperial edict, and enter the palace to serve the emperor well."

"Yes, thank you Lord Long En!" The eunuch who took Ji Baozhu out this time was even more respectful, and sent him all the way to Shenwu Gate.

When Baozhu came out of Shenwumen, he saw his second brother Ji Xu standing beside his carriage in the sunlight. Ji Xu, who was over twenty years old, was a handsome man with a magnificent figure and a bronze complexion.

The facial features are well-defined and deep, the dark and deep eyes appear arrogant and unruly, and there is a wild and unruly smile on his handsome face. Except for his gentle, refined and polite elder brother, such a wicked second brother is also unaware of the fascination. How many famous ladies have fallen.

Standing in front of the carriage, Ji Xu looked at Baozhu Yingying approaching from the gate, his eyes widened, and he showed a slight smile. At some point, the younger sister he loved in his hand had grown up. And one ten-thousandth of my sister.

Ji Xu hurried forward with joy and joy, the servant girl helped Baozhu, looked her up and down and said, "Sister, how is it, no one bullies you, tell the second brother!"

Baozhu thought of how her second elder brother cared for her since she was a child, and she smiled sweetly, "Second brother, what are you talking about, how could someone bully my sister in the palace."

In front of his younger sister, Ji Xu changed from his former dissoluteness and showed a silly smile, "Second brother is worried that my sister will be bullied. If you have something to tell my second brother, I will definitely vent my anger on my sister!"

Huanxi, Huanxi helped Baozhu into the carriage, Ji Baozhu looked at his second brother pretending to be calm and laughing in front of him, his eyes were red and said: "Second brother, I have been selected, in fact, second brother should also understand that the emperor will definitely To ask my sister to enter the palace."

Ji Xu was stunned, clenched his broad hands tightly, turned around without saying a word, jumped into the carriage, and drove for his younger sister. He hated himself for being just a little sixth-rank Qianniuwei, who he had loved since childhood for his younger sister. His family members were about to step into the pit of fire, but he had nothing to do.

Since he was a child, he has liked his little sister who is soft and fragrant. The younger sister is sensible, cute and quirky. Not only does she not have the tweaking or arrogance of other women, but she is also smart and understanding.

He hopes that his younger sister can marry an ordinary family, with him and his family escorting her, and spend her life in peace, now...

Ji Xu squeezed the whip in his hand hard, and vowed to work harder to protect his sister.

Seeing that the second brother didn't speak, Baozhu continued: "Second brother, don't be sad, your sister is so smart, I will definitely take care of myself, besides you, elder brother and father are outside, the emperor will not treat me badly .”

Ji Xu still didn't speak any more, just drove the carriage home silently, Baozhu knew that the second brother was blaming him for his own incompetence and could not avoid the bad luck of entering the palace, hoped that the second brother could think clearly by himself, so she also closed her eyes and rested her mind.

The carriage was about to enter Ji's mansion, when Ji Xu suddenly stopped the carriage, opened the curtain, looked at Baozhu and said seriously, "Sister, don't worry, with Second Brother here, I will never let you be wronged!"

Baozhu's eyes were red, this is the love her family gave her, she must protect it, and nodded fiercely.
