Palace Full of Delicacies

The women all went to the backyard, and the maids of the palace came to welcome them, while the men gathered in the front yard, and entered the palace together with Zong Zhengsi's officials.

Standing in the corner, Su Yu found that most of the people were empty-handed, some were fanning elegantly, and only he was foolishly carrying a burden.

"Who is that, actually carrying the luggage by himself?" Someone noticed the maverick Su Yu, as if they saw something strange.

The first round of the general election will start today, and those who pass the first round will live in the palace. The noble luggage can be delivered to the gate of the palace after the servants settle down, and only Su Yu, who has no servants to serve him, will Carrying big and small packages.

"It seems to be the concubine of the Su family, the one who runs the restaurant." Someone recognized him and couldn't help laughing.

"The Su family is so shabby and settled down, they all look like this, and they have the nerve to come to the general election..."

"A fish seller, hahaha..."

A few teenagers not far away pointed at Su Yu, and one of them standing among them remained silent until he saw someone laughing before slightly frowning and said: "Zong Zhengguan is coming soon, don't make any more noise. "

"What the prince said is true." The person who was laughing stopped immediately, and the surrounding teenagers also restrained a little.

Su Yu took a look at that person, he was tall, with a serious face, and from other people's conversations, he seemed to be the son of Duke Lu.

The honorable title is passed down from generation to generation. If there is no further meritorious service, it stands to reason that it will be inherited. Only a few real founding heroes can be granted the hereditary title, and the Duke of Lu is one of them. one of.

The Duke of Lu's surname is Gao, and all the men practice martial arts, and they are good generals. The Duke of Lu who is now in power is still able to fight and kill the enemy.A family like the Gao family is the real noble!

Su Yu looked at this "true" tall, rich and handsome man, and it was hard to imagine how such a person would marry into the palace to serve the emperor. Sure enough, this general election is to win connections, and the focus should be on the women's side.

As a quail who would be ridiculed at any time for carrying a bag, Su Yu didn't intend to make friends with anyone, so he simply took out the small fish cakes he made in the morning from the bag and ate them with relish.His sauce is in the palace. In order to please Mr. Cat, he specially made a lot of snacks, hoping to meet it in the palace.

Duke Lu's son looked at Su Yu again casually, seeing him eating as if no one else was around, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Not long after, Zong Zhengsi's official appeared, greeted everyone politely, briefly read out today's procedures, and gave everyone a wooden sign with their names engraved on them. After checking their identities again, they arranged for everyone to get on the carriage.Zong Zhengsi prepared a special carriage, and Zong Zhengsi Cheng personally brought it into the palace.

Fragrant chariots with canopies and exquisite octagons, one after another the carriages passed through the tall palace roads and walked towards the majestic palace.

The chariots of the sons of honorable nobles came first, followed by the sons of ministers of civil and military affairs, and entered the palace through the Shenwu Gate.The woman's carriage followed behind, turned in front of the Shenwu Gate, diverted to the Shunzhen Gate, and did not meet the men.So Su Yu never saw his cousin Su Ying from the beginning to the end.

Entering from the Shenwu Gate, there is a wide square. When everyone got out of the car, a eunuch about 40 years old stood in front, saluting everyone with a smile.

"Eunuch Yang, don't come here without any harm." Changchun Hou Shizi replied with a smile.

"Young Master Lao misses you." The old eunuch surnamed Yang wrinkled his face with a smile, and greeted the prince of Lu Guogong. The latter just nodded and didn't talk to him. Clearing his throat, he began to read the rules of the palace.

Those "really tall, rich and handsome" are already familiar with these rules, but it's the first time for Su Yu to hear them, it's very fresh.

The general election is divided into four rounds, and it will take ten days at the earliest to complete the election. During this period, the show girls live in Xianglan Palace, and they, um, show men, live in Xunyang Palace.During this period, he was not allowed to step out of the Xunyang Palace without summons, all kinds of rules added up, not to mention seeing the emperor, it is estimated that he would not even be able to see a high-level eunuch.

Su Yu rubbed his chin, so in the TV series in his previous life, those scenes where a beautiful girl ran into the emperor by chance were all nonsense.

The imperial palace in Da'an is divided into the front palace and the rear palace. State affairs and government affairs are handled in the front palace, while the concubines live in the back palace, separated by a vast imperial garden in the middle.The areas occupied by the two phases are basically equal, and the area of ​​the front hall is even larger.The Xunyang Hall they were going to was within the range of the front hall.

Except for the main hall of Xunyang Hall, the rest of the houses are three-story small buildings surrounding the main hall. When everyone came to the main hall, there were already many eunuchs waiting here. Three people in official uniforms stood behind a long table , which will begin the first round of primary elections.

In this primary election, in Su Yukai, it was roll call plus a simple physical examination.Everyone took their own nameplates, stepped forward to answer a few questions one by one, checked their identities, and screened out some people at the same time.Those who look ugly or have disabilities will be directly collected the nameplate.

Seeing a man with beards being ruthlessly eliminated, Su Yu was still unwilling to argue endlessly, and suddenly felt that his attitude in participating in the draft was still very correct, at least remember to shave before going out.

The order of standing is also very particular. Those with high family status will be ranked first. After the primary election, you can go to the side hall to choose where you want to live for the next few days. When you get to Su Yu, there are not many people left. .

"Name." The official of the Ministry of Rites looked up at him absent-mindedly, and ticked "upper middle" on his appearance.

"Su Yu, the name is Jintang." Su Yu replied respectfully, glanced at the brochure on the table, and found that there were "Superior", "Superior", and "Excellent" three grades above "Above Middle", except for the Marquis of Changchun. Except for the "upper" mark, the rest of the sons are basically "upper middle" and "lower middle". Even the highest-ranking son of the Duke of Lu is only a "superior".

It seems that the shady scenes here are not too dark, Su Yu thought absently, Changchun Hou Shizi he met at Shenwumen, he looks like a crown jade, he is indeed a handsome man, just like this is not considered "excellent beauty" , then what kind of it?A face suddenly flashed in my mind, the facial features were so exquisite that it was almost impeccable, it was the secret guard who took the sauce away that day...

Su Yu suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the emperor, and regarded a mighty man like Duke Lu as a "superior" resource, but didn't know that the real stunning beauty was hidden in a corner he couldn't see, what a waste of money!

"Next." Just as Su Yu was wandering, he had already passed the primary election, and Zong Zhengsi's wooden badge was taken away, and replaced with a more delicate waist badge, with a long cyan tassel on it, On the other hand, the civil servants over there received a waist card with blue tassels.

After leaving the main hall, an eunuch instructed Su Yu to go east. The old eunuch surnamed Yang was standing in the small building on the east side. Seeing Su Yu's slow-moving look, his face was a little impatient, "Young Master Su is late, so stay in Xuanzi." NO.13 room."

"Eunuch, the No. 13 room..." Hearing this, the little eunuch next to him looked at Su Yu, hesitant to speak.

Eunuch Yang raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "The rooms in Tianzi are all full, and the rooms in Xuanzi are not facing the sun. The numbers are the same."

When I say this, there is naturally a mystery. The third-class rooms in Tiandixuan are full, and if the Xuanzi is not facing the sun, there are also land-size options. If you want to live in a better place, you will naturally have to pay some benefits.

Su Yu understood it, but he didn't intend to waste the money, pretending not to know: "It doesn't matter, it's the same wherever you live, and I have a father-in-law."

"Hmph." The old eunuch snorted coldly, and threw a key to him.

Xuanzi No. 13, in the corner of the first floor, it really wasn't sunny at all, when I opened the room, a damp breath came over my face.

Looking around, it was a palace after all, in fact the conditions were quite good, at least better than Su Yu's own room, except for some moldy spots on the corners of the walls, and the furniture was also damp.

Su Yu threw the bundle down on the table, and spread it on the bed.

I finally realized what is meant by "a long journey has no importance". The original not very heavy burden, tossing in the hands for a whole day, can also make people exhausted.

The courtyard gradually became lively, the servants of the Xungui family brought the salutes, and the eunuchs were busy giving the salutes to each room and packing things, but no one came to pay attention to Su Yu, and he fell asleep drowsily.

When he woke up, it was already dark, Su Yu got up and touched his stomach, but no one came to ask him to eat.I opened the window and looked... I couldn't see anything.Just because the window of his house is facing the courtyard wall, opening the window is the wall.

Looking up boredly, just as he saw a touch of gold jumping up the wall, Su Yu's eyes lit up, "Sauce!"

The golden hairball staggered and almost fell, glanced at Su Yu who was waving his hands foolishly, An Hongche was furious, stupid slave, he dared to call me by my name in the palace!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Meow Gong: When you arrive at the palace, you must obey the rules

Xiaoyu: (buries his face in the hair, nods hard) Mmmm

Xiaoyu: Mmmm (rubbing the meat pad) and another paw from the sauce

Meow attack: ...
