daughter in power

Chapter 95
Originally, there were not so many people living in Xiunufang, but Qiqi didn't know why there were so many people in today's selection.

After walking straight for quite a while, Baohua Palace hadn’t arrived yet, and it was still pitch black, when a beautiful woman whispered with displeasure: “The emperor wants to draft a talent show, can the ministers in the court not care about it? The extra people are all the young ladies in Floating Fire City."

Of course, the senior official was naturally unwilling to give his daughter to the half-hundred-year-old Emperor Wuwei.

But those many petty officials saw no hope of currying favor with the princes of the various families, so they had to find another way.

Give the daughter to Emperor Wuwei to give the family a future.

Qiqi blinked, bowed her head and said nothing.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived outside Baohua Hall.

It was still dark, and the wind was howling, making people's faces hurt.

Outside the Baohua Hall, the lights were brilliant, and many maids and eunuchs were already busy.

Fresh flowers were placed in a row, daffodils were blooming on the window sills, red plum blossoms were blooming in the yard, and the parrot yelled over and over again: "The emperor is blessed, the empress is blessed... the emperor is blessed, the empress is blessed..."

However, it was for a good omen.

The delicate colors of the show girls stood in the courtyard, immediately making Baohua Hall lively.

Zhang Yeting stood on the steps, raised his voice, and said in a shrill voice: "Everyone cheer up, and when you enter the main hall, no matter what the emperor and the ladies ask, you should answer honestly, and don't try to please."

"Here." All the beautiful girls responded, lowering their heads and being obedient.

He nodded in satisfaction, flicked his whisk, and entered the palace gate.

Before the emperor, queen and others arrived, Zhang Yeting directed the maids and eunuchs to tidy up and prepare carefully.

Qiqi stood in the yard, her feet were almost numb from the cold.

She blinked, let out a breath, and secretly sighed at the pitifulness of this society.

Under the power, everyone's life is like an ant.

Even she, the daughter of Linshui county magistrate, is nothing more than that.For ordinary people, I'm afraid life will be even more difficult.

She was distracted, but she heard a maid on the steps say: "The imperial concubine has a decree, it's still early, the weather outside the palace is very cold and it's easy to hurt your muscles and bones, please wait here in Baoxiang Pavilion for a while."

All the beautiful girls breathed a sigh of relief, followed Gong'e with small steps, and entered the side hall.

The hall was as warm as spring, and the heat blowing toward us caressed everyone's faces, immediately making people feel comfortable all over.

The cold air is kept out, the room is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the mood is also joyful.

Su Xiunv gathered her skirt and bowed from a distance: "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Defei."

She opened her mouth, and all the beautiful women seemed to understand, and thanked the maid one after another.

Gong'e still smiled softly, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is usually magnanimous, so this kind of grace is not a kind of grace. All the beautiful girls have a good rest and wait for the election with peace of mind. I hope everyone will be favored by the Holy One."

Gong'e left in a hurry, glanced at Su Xiunv before leaving, and nodded.

Su Xiunv smiled slightly.

The people standing beside Su Xiunv immediately dodged away, as if Su Xiunv was no longer in their camp.

There was chatter and chatter, and there were quite a few jealous words.

As if she had never heard of it, Su Xiunv went straight to find a soft chair and sat down quietly.

After waiting for a while, the three quarters of the hour arrived.

At the entrance of Baoxiang Pavilion, Zhang Yeting hurried in, frowned and said sharply: "Everyone has heard their names, and whoever reads them will come out. A group of six people will enter the hall together for the emperor to choose."

When everyone came, they had vaguely heard about the selection process, but they still couldn't help being nervous when they came here.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and Zhang Yeting said: "Stop making noise, and you will startle Sheng Jia carefully. If you don't get elected, you will be punished."

There is really a scary element in these words, but everyone dare not say any more.

For a while, Zhang Yeting first read the names of six people and ordered them to line up to enter the hall.

Qiqi noticed that these six people were only average in appearance, and none of them offered bribes.

Probably, that is cannon fodder.

Sure enough, after a short wait, six people came out together.

The faces of several people were not good, and it seemed that they were not selected.

If Qiqi hadn't been selected, I'm afraid she would jump up happily.

But when it was their turn, they didn't seem very happy.

The show girls who were waiting to be selected wanted to rush up to ask a few questions, but unfortunately the six left in a hurry without saying much.

The rules are dead, and no one dares to disclose the interview process.

At least, not at the moment.

The eyes of all the beautiful women were gloomy, they still stood obediently in Baoxiang Pavilion, waiting for Zhang Yeting to read their names.

This time, Zhang Yeting read six people, one of whom had been given money.

Seeing six people go in, Qiqi couldn't help but blink.

Sure enough, there are many ways to choose to watch.

It's not as simple as it seems on the surface.

However, after a while, six people came out again.

The lady who gave the bribe was also among them, and it seemed that she was not selected.

Her face was flushed red, but her expression was ashen. She didn't know what was being asked.

Zhang Yeting pretended not to see, and let the six people leave.

Just like this, she went in several times in a row, but couldn't be selected, Jing Rourou was finally arranged to enter Baohua Palace.

No need to think about it, she must have been selected.

Those young ladies in front are all mediocre in appearance, how can they compare with her radiance.

Sure enough, after going in for a long time this time, there were only five people when they came out again, and Jing Rourou was left behind.

Qiqi rolled her eyes, looked carefully at Zhang Yeting, and saw that he was arranging the beautiful girls with his toes high and high, as if he didn't notice these details at all.

She turned around and was about to stand back when Zhang Yeting raised her voice, "Linshui County, Lizhou Prefecture, Jiang Qiqi."

With a high voice, Qiqi was startled, subconsciously walked over.

There were still six people, Zhang Yeting smiled and said: "Jiang Xiunv, it depends on your luck."

Zhang Yeting should have known that she was picked up by King Xiaoyang in these few days.

But looking at his face, it is clear that there is something evil hidden.

With a flash in her eyes, Qiqi immediately perked up.

Six people entered the hall, and among the other five people, there was one Su Xiunv and the other An Xiunv.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of astonishment in each other's eyes.

We all know that Zhang Yeting is particular about arranging beautiful women to enter the palace.

Why did they arrange them together?

However, because the three of them were fairly familiar, when they entered the palace, they felt less afraid.

After going up the steps, the wide nanmu screen blocks all the sight.

They walked around the screen in two rows, and when they looked up, they saw Emperor Wuwei and the Empress sitting on top.

Next to the queen, there are the concubine De and the concubine Shu.

Because of the previous treatment in Baoxiang Pavilion, several people had a good impression of Concubine De, and now they stood down and saluted with smiles on their faces.

The queen's complexion was not good, but Emperor Wuwei didn't make a sound, and she couldn't speak.

Emperor Wuwei finally said: "Let's be flat."

His voice was very light, a bit like the king of Xiaoyang, and a sense of inexplicable familiarity suddenly flashed in Qiqi's heart.

What a hell of a day.

She didn't know where this familiarity came from.

Next, it is asked in sequence from right to left according to the example.

Emperor Wuwei's voice was quite gentle, and he asked the first person's name.

The first person is not any of the three.

So Qiqi, Su Xiunv, and An Xiunv all kept their eyes on their noses, their noses and their hearts, and listened patiently with their heads down.

"What kind of books do you usually read at home?"

Emperor Wuwei asked very casually.

Xiu Nu replied solemnly: "Minnv has read "Strong Girl", "The Story of Xiaozhen", and also studied poetry and poetry..."

Emperor Wuwei nodded, then turned to the queen and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

What can the queen ask?
The people standing below are all her future enemies. What do you want her to say?

The queen's eyes flashed, and she said a few perfunctory words, not going to pay attention to this beautiful girl.She raised her eyelids suddenly, as if she had discovered something suddenly, and let out a "huh".

As soon as she made a sound, Concubine De and Shu all turned their heads, and even Emperor Wuwei's gaze was attracted.

Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she heard the empress condescendingly say, "Is Jiang Qiqi standing below?"

The similar syllables caused the few people sitting on the steps to frown.

Emperor Wuwei said, "Which one is Jiang Qiqi?"

Qiqi had no choice but to stand up step by step: "Minister...it is Jiang Qiqi."

As soon as the sound was made, several beautiful girls standing behind all cast envious glances, which made her spine run hot.

It's a pity that the fever in the back can only be endured.

Because they don't know about the festival between the Queen and Qiqi.

The hall was silent, no one made a sound, Qiqi could hear her own breathing.

After a long time, the queen sneered: "The Seven Kings took you out of the palace forcibly, and it took half a month to go. How do you still have the face to come back to see the show girl?"

She couldn't help but sternly said: "If you are the first candidate in the draft, you want to be a virgin. As the daughter of the county magistrate of Linshui, don't you know the crime of deceiving the king?"

After leaving the palace for half a month, he followed a prince like Xiaoyang Wang again.

Not to mention the empress doubting Qiqi's innocence, even Emperor Wuwei would not believe that Qiqi is a perfect body.

Qiqi lowered her head, and said bravely: "It's because...the father of the daughter of the people, Jiang Maoyou, was implicated in the Nanxiang prince's treason case, and the prince said...only the emperor can decide this case."

What she said was all the truth, but the few people above did not speak.

There was another moment of silence in the hall, and Emperor Wuwei said, "Where is the roster?"

All the show girls selected today have a roster, and the roster records the identity information of the show girls in detail.

When Emperor Wuwei asked this question, Zhang Yeting hurried forward holding a booklet.

With the brochure in hand, the information of Qiqi is clear and distinct.Emperor Wuwei's eyes were cold, he looked at Qiqi under the steps from a distance, and said: "Raise your head."

Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, raised her head little by little, but did not look directly at him.

After looking at it for a while, Emperor Wuwei waved his hand: "Let's put it aside for now. Today is a draft girl, and I don't want to deal with official business for the time being."

He stretched out his hand, picked up the luxuriant red sign, and placed it on the tray of the selected candidates.

In this way, Qiqi was chosen?
Everyone's expressions changed, Emperor Wuwei didn't explain, but flipped over another person's red card, and read aloud: "Su Xinhe?"

Su Xiunv took a step forward, pulled back her skirt and saluted respectfully: "Su Xinhe, the third daughter of Jiangyin governor Su Qinglian, sees the emperor."
