The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

The Quetai talent show was a ceremony for the king to select concubines from the harem at the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.Once elected, one can become the emperor's side, which is the dream of many boudoir girls. For Xue Baochai, this is the ambition of the whole body.Now that I can finally see Tianyan, I will not be able to become the most noble woman in the world in the future, just thinking about it makes me feel that the blood in my body is flowing

boiling.

On this day, Xue Baochai washed and changed her clothes early in the morning under the service of her mother-in-law, put on a smoky purple cloud makeup brocade brocade woven with colorful flowers, and tied her cloud-like black hair into a cloud-like bun. He also put on a set of gold thread-studded ruby ​​jewelry given to him by his mother on the day he went out, looking unparalleled in beauty.The foster mother looked at the beauties in the mirror, and said with emotion: "Oh, I have seen so many beauties, the girl can be regarded as the top one. Today, one of them will definitely be selected."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai smiled gracefully, with all kinds of amorous feelings in her eyes.He took out a piece of silver from the purse on the table, put it in the hands of the foster mother, and said, "By my blessing, I will use this silver to buy wine and drink, and I am tired these days."

The foster mother hurriedly reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have such a good looks, how can you ask an old woman to talk about it. Besides, these are all explained by Mr. Wang, how dare this old slave not do his best."

Baochai caressed the ruby ​​earrings, her light white hands looked more supple against the backdrop of the gemstones.He said with a smile, "If I can really receive the grace of God in the future, I will have to bother my mother."

"Hehe, don't worry, girl, this old slave should do his best."

After layers of screening, only [-] women of the official age were left for the selection of the harem from all over the country.Among these thirty women, the best ones are like a dragon family, the second ones are married to the clan's children of the right age, and the worst ones are just like Jia Yuanchun back then, serving as female historians in the palace and serving by the noble person's side.It's just that there are very few people like Jia Yuanchun who can still become a noble concubine after nearly ten years of suffering.Therefore, today, the women on the Sparrow Terrace looked at the nobleman sitting under the canopy in the distance with great anxiety.

Xiao Rong had a good time dressing up today. He was dressed in a bright yellow gold phoenix embroidered court dress and a golden crown with a hundred birds facing the phoenix, looking solemn and noble.But Xiao Rong's heart at this time is not so solemn at all.Just thinking about why so many beautiful girls want to go to the harem so much.Hey, it's a good thing that I've been a mother-in-law since I came here. Otherwise, I'd be hung up by these messy rules before my daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law after many years.

The queen next to her is also dressed in a bright gold silk five-phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head.The phoenix on the phoenix crown spread its wings and wanted to fly high, enviing all the beautiful girls below.That is the most prominent status and the most honorable honor for a woman in the world.At this time, the empress looked peaceful, she didn't have the slightest awareness to choose a concubine for her husband, it was as if she was choosing a maid for her own family.Looking at the young women who looked like half-bloomed flowers below, he nodded in satisfaction. "Queen, which one do you think is better? Now that the emperor is busy with state affairs, the sons and ministers thought about it and chose a few with good tempers. It would be better if they had studied."

Xiao Rong nodded and said: "Well, the Ai family also likes girls who are quieter. Empress, you can decide these things."

The queen said with a smile: "My son obeys the order." Then she stood up.

The big palace maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to support the queen's outstretched hand, and slowly walked in front of the beautiful lady.After looking at it carefully, the eunuch in red behind him was holding ten golden beans on a plate.This bean has a good meaning, sowing beans will yield fruit, branches and leaves will spread.Obtaining this golden bean means that he is qualified to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and continue the bloodline.

All the show girls lowered their heads, but secretly looked at the golden beans with longing eyes.It's like looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

The queen looked at them one by one, and selected a few women who were handsome and noble, and rewarded them with golden beans.The faces of several women were flushed with excitement.There were fewer and fewer beans on the plate, and those who hadn't got the beans were so anxious that their originally rosy faces became paler and paler.

Xue Baochai was tightly holding the fingers in her sleeves.Seeing the queen getting closer and closer to him, the girl from the Feng family who was closest to him got a bean, and there was only one bean left on the plate—the last one!

"The emperor is here—" the eunuch dragged on a long voice, and called out a sentence that shocked everyone.

The women couldn't help but looked in the direction of the voice.That is the emperor who rules the world, and the lover that all women in the world dream of.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but secretly raised her head and aimed in the direction of the person coming.The man's posture was straight and his steps were steady. Because he was on the side, he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see traces of light shining on the bright yellow dragon robe.

The emperor first walked in the direction of Xiao Rong, and when he came to Xiao Rong, he bowed and saluted, and said, "Greetings to the queen mother. The queen is tired of the son's affairs, and the son is really terrified."

Xiao Rong looked at his son in court clothes, and looked at the current time, and knew that he must have rushed over just after the court.I couldn't help complaining in my heart, the man was indeed a lustful person, he hurried over to have a look before he entered the door.

In fact, Xiao Rong really blamed his son wrongly.These days the emperor is busy with matters in Eastern Xinjiang and Jiangnan, and it has been a long time since he performed his filial piety in front of Xiao Rong.Although Xiao Rong had several beauties by his side, he naturally didn't take it seriously.However, the emperor, who is known as the most filial son in the world, naturally felt guilty.Today, I just finished handling the political affairs, so I thought about going to Changle Palace to honor my queen mother, but the Grand Eunuch Li who was beside him hurriedly said: "Today, there is a talent show in the bird's stage, the queen mother should be there." The emperor listened, naturally He rushed over here non-stop.

Xiao Rong naturally didn't know this, so he looked at his filial son with a strange expression, and said in a low voice: "My lord, look at so many beautiful girls, which one do you like, tell the Ai family, and the Ai family will tell you which one you like." You decide."

emperor:"……"

Seeing that the emperor's face was stiff, Xiao Rong thought it was thin-skinned, so he waved again, called the emperor to his side, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, my daughter-in-law is not jealous at all. The Ai family chose you If you are dissatisfied with a few good-tempered ones, go and see for yourself. They will be with you for the rest of your life, so there is still some freedom in this idea.”

The emperor couldn't help but want to spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood.He came here with his own filial piety, but he became a drunkard.

At this time, the queen came over with the last golden bean.He saluted the emperor and greeted him.

Xiao Rong hurriedly asked: "Have you chosen?"

The queen raised her red lips and said with a smile: "No, there is only one left. The concubine thinks that the emperor has come, so let the emperor choose the one he likes."

The emperor: "..." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both of the same virtue.

Xiao Rong stood up instead, took the golden beans on the plate, stuffed them into the hands of his cheap son, and said hurriedly: "My son, go."

The emperor looked at the beans stuffed into his hands, and then glanced at the women on the bird platform, and couldn't help but feel a chill.As soon as he took a step, he stopped.

Seeing this, the queen pursed her red lips and smiled lightly, then walked gently to the side of the emperor, and whispered: "The queen mother likes the girl from the Xue family. The third one from the left in the third row."

Hearing the words, the emperor changed his mind a few times, and then said softly: "My lady is virtuous." Then he walked towards the ladies.

Xiao Rong looked at the most bizarre couple in the world, and said with emotion in his heart: "These two can only flirt and scold each other in the place where they choose a concubine, and their ears are constantly grinding. This situation is so strange."

Miss Xue over there saw the Empress Empress walking past her with the last golden bean, and her heart sank slowly to the bottom of the valley.Seeing how the emperor and empress looked like a loving couple, I felt even more lost, thinking that I would follow Jia Yuanchun's old path in the future, and wondered if there was still a chance to make a difference.Suddenly, the beautiful girl beside her let out a low gasp.

"Whose girl is this?" The voice was gentle and steady.

Xue Baochai was shocked, the one who could make such a sound here was naturally that person!

The eunuch next to him replied: "After Jinling Ziwei gave up, the girl from Xue's house is fifteen years old, and her boudoir name is Xue Baochai."

"Well, stay."

As the word "stay" fell, Xue Baochai's high-hanging heart also dropped heavily.Before I could rest assured, I just felt the back of my hand lift up, and there was a warm touch in my palm.After the touch left, there was a shining golden bean in his palm.

"This is..." Xue Baochai was slightly stunned for a moment, but she didn't dare to raise her head. She just stared at the slender and well-proportioned finger under the bright yellow dragon pattern cuff.It was just... that hand?Xue Baochai blushed immediately, her heart and face were burning hot, and even the hand that had just been touched seemed to be warmed by fire, getting hotter and hotter.

Ming Huang in front of him slowly walked away again, Xue Baochai felt lost for a while.

The red-clothed eunuch in front of him whispered: "My servant congratulates Miss Xue." Then he followed the bright yellow figure and walked away.

For this scene, all the show girls have different thoughts.Next to him, Feng Baoyi, who was fairly close to Xue Baochai, secretly pulled the veil, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

The results of the draft on this day were naturally determined long ago.Feng Baoyi of the Feng family was granted the title of Chang Zai, and lived in Zicui Palace with several other newly promoted Chang Zai.The only difference is - Xue Baochai was made a concubine.For a beautiful girl who had just entered the palace, becoming a concubine was tantamount to reaching the sky in one step. In a short while, the news of Xue's daughter being favored also spread throughout the capital.

Aunt Xue got the news of her daughter at home and fainted in a moment of excitement.After waking up, he exclaimed, "Everything is rewarded, everything is rewarded."

When Xue Pan got the news, he ran back from the cockfighting arena, saw Aunt Xue's red and swollen eyes, and said excitedly: "Our family finally has a mother, mother, and son is also an uncle of the country, too. Uncle Guo."

Aunt Xue cried bitterly again holding her son.

When the mother and son finally calmed down, Xue Pan said: "Mother, now there is a lady in our house, and it is not decent for the lady to borrow it like this. Why don't you move to another courtyard of your own family as soon as possible. After all, There is also a door."

When Aunt Xue heard that her face was not good-looking, she naturally responded quickly: "You are still thoughtful, I will go and say goodbye to your aunt."

The author has something to say: When the four major families have two empresses, and Wang Ziteng's two nieces both become empresses, what will happen?
