[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

On the day of the palace selection, the mule cart that Ling Rong and other contestants took together traveled eastward from Shenwumen Road to the south, exited Donghuamen, went northward from Chongwenmen Street, passed through the North Market, and then passed through Di'anmen came to Shenwumen.There are double lights on the mule carts, marking which family's beautiful girls it is.

When the mule cart stopped and the beautiful ladies got off the mule cart one by one, the household department officials maintained order first, and then the eunuchs led them into the palace.The venue for the selection of the palace this time is in the Tiyuan Palace, and the aunts who are in charge have been waiting here for a long time, and guide the beautiful women who are waiting for the election to wait in the side hall.

Different flags are waiting in different places, and Lingrong, Zhen Huan, Meizhuang and others all belong to the Han army flag, so it is inevitable to run into each other again.Zhen Huan was still dressed very plainly as in her previous life, and she stood out from the crowd among the many gorgeously dressed beautiful women, and was very eye-catching.Ling Rong just smiled faintly, and then looked away and stayed alone, not talking easily to others.

Today, Lingrong was dressed up carefully. He was wearing a Su embroidery flag dress prepared by Mrs. Ma. The lotus color was embroidered with the pattern of Aoxue and red plum blossoms, and the collar and cuffs were also rolled with red plum branches Embroidered for a chic and festive look.At first glance, the red plums on the clothes look like a good ink painting, which is the most brilliant style in Suzhou embroidery; on the head are combed two small hair, with sapphire-carved hair accessories in the shape of clouds and raindrops on both sides. There are a few blooming pink and white plum blossoms in the middle, and the plum blossom earrings inlaid with silver and jade are worn on the ears, which are fresh and pleasant; the weather is hot, so the mausoleum is not painted, only a little pink lip gloss .

Lingrong knew that she couldn't compare to Zhen Huan in terms of appearance. She had the calmness and calmness of the two generations, and she knew the emperor well.Today's attire is to attract the emperor's attention, as long as the cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart is still there, she is seventy to eighty percent sure.As for the remaining one or two points, it is up to you.Fortunately, not only the emperor but also the queen mother were chosen for the palace.The Empress Dowager likes people who understand the rules and have the demeanor of everyone. Isn't that how Shen Meizhuang caught the Empress Dowager's eyes?And she lacked the anticipation and shyness of a young girl, so she was naturally well-behaved and calm compared to others.

Ling Rong was thinking wildly, but there was a crisp sound of broken porcelain from the other side, which interrupted Ling Rong's thoughts.Ling Rong saw that it was Xia Dongchun who had a conflict with a woman.

The woman's appearance felt a little familiar.After thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Sun Miaoqing, the younger sister of Suzhou Weaving Sun Zhuhe.When she was embarrassed by Xia Dongchun, the first person who wanted to help her was not Zhen Huan, because Zhen Huan was far away.It was only later that Sun Miaoqing was persuaded by the people around her, and finally did not ask to help her.Just because of her low status, the possibility of being selected is too low, so no one is willing to say a word of justice for herself.At that time, she was too helpless, and she paid close attention to everyone who might help her, so she had a certain impression of her.

Ling Rong vaguely remembered that Sun Miaoqing was given a sign because of her disrespect in front of the palace, and she seemed to have something to do with Zhen Huan.She was also out of luck, she was in the same group as Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang, and she was completely suppressed.

Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, you keep saying that you don't want to be selected into the palace, but you attract the attention of the emperor everywhere. In fact, it's not because you don't want to enter the palace, but because you want to be the most special one.How could she be willing to marry an ordinary person with a high self-esteem, she was using a good means.

The dispute between the two over there was not over yet, but Sun Miaoqing was obviously not Xia Dongchun's opponent, and she gradually lost the wind, her face was a little unsightly.Xia Dongchun still looked arrogant and conceited, which made people unhappy.

After thinking for a while, Ling Rong stepped forward and said softly:

"The aunt in charge is coming, so the two sisters should stop arguing. If you accidentally disturb the holy car in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and make the emperor angry, it will not be good to delay the bright future of the two sisters."

Xia Dongchun paused for a moment, seeing that the aunt in charge not far away was indeed looking at her, so she said some harsh words, walked away resentfully stepping on the bottom of a three-inch-high flowerpot, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

While recovering, Sun Miaoqing walked to Ling Rong and leaned over slightly, saying, "Thank you, sister, for your words of help."

"Sister, you're being polite, but it's just a matter of little effort. My sister has a beautiful face, and she's sure to get what she wants. She's the one who's selected, so don't let her affect your mood." Ling Rong smiled slightly, and said slightly.

Sun Miaoqing was about to open her mouth to say something more, but saw the eunuch's eunuch who announced the decree came in, and everyone quickly fell silent.

"It is said that An Lingrong, Yi Bingqing, Jiang Rulin, Dai Ying, Qi Siqin, and Liu Lianzi are here!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice spread in the hall, and everyone listened with bated breath.

Ling Rong was the first group of people from the Han Army Banner to meet him. After arranging his clothes a little and taking a deep breath, Ling Rong calmly entered the Tiyuan Hall with the other five people.

In the main hall, the emperor and the empress dowager stood tall, and the beautiful ladies stood in a row in a neat row.The eunuch holding the roster of beautiful women read aloud the family background, name, and age of the beautiful women. Every time one was read, the emperor read one.

The previous Mongolian and Manchu flags have all been compared, and the Han flag is the last to be selected.There were very few of the two beautiful girls from the banner before who were left with a badge by the emperor, and the queen mother was already a little anxious and dissatisfied.

"An Lingrong, the daughter of Tongan Bihuai in Chuzhou, is sixteen years old!"

Hearing his name, Lingrong bowed calmly and saluted, and said loudly: "My daughter, An Lingrong, is joining the emperor and queen mother, and the emperor and queen mother are blessed and safe."

Nodding slightly, the plum blossoms on the bun trembled slightly, exuding a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which attracted the beautiful butterflies to stop for them, and the peach blossoms on the human faces complement each other.

The emperor paused slightly as he turned the jasper beads in his hands, and the queen mother knew what the emperor was thinking.

"It looks elegant and delicate. What kind of flower is on the hairpin? The Ai family looks very unique." Seeing that the mausoleum is calm and calm, and the rules are not bad at all, the queen mother was a little satisfied.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the maid's hairpin is plum blossom and silk flowers, and the rough craftsmanship cannot be praised by the Empress Dowager." Ling Rong replied respectfully.

"Oh? The silk flowers of plum blossoms are rare, so I present them to the Ai family to see." As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, a court lady took a plum blossom from Lingrong's head and presented it to the Queen Mother.The queen mother glanced slightly, satisfied.

"Well, the workmanship is good." The queen mother glanced at the emperor, and the emperor said lightly: "It is indeed a bit ingenious, as long as the queen mother likes it."

"Then keep it." As soon as the queen mother opened her golden mouth, the eunuch who announced the decree announced loudly, "An Lingrong will keep the brand and give you a sachet."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother." Ling Rong took the sachet, and thanked En respectfully, standing still, waiting for the others to finish their selections before leaving together.

Among the six people who met with Ling Rong, only Ling Rong was left with a sign. Afterwards, the aunt in charge led several people out of the palace.

The show girls left the palace from the Shenwu Gate when they came. Looking at the gate that was getting closer and closer, a trace of regret flashed in Ling Rong's heart.In this life, is there a day when she can leave the palace again?Forget it, now that a decision has been made, there is no room for regret.

Ling Rong took off the plum blossom palace flower on his head and hid it in his sleeve pocket, then took out a bright red peony palace flower from another sleeve pocket and put it on, and then he left Shenwumen.

Outside the Shenwu Gate, Qingyu Liuli was waiting anxiously beside the mule cart, when she saw Ling Rong coming out of the door, she rushed to meet her.

"Miss, it's hot, let's drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat." Liuli handed over a bowl of sour plum soup, and Qingyu also helped to fan.

After Ling Rong drank the sour plum soup, he became more energetic, so he got into the mule cart, and the three of them were speechless all the way.

The carriage was walking on the official road, leading to home, Ling Rong's heart slowly fell silent, after all, she had failed her brother and sister-in-law's painstaking efforts.

The author has something to say:

Selected, will enter the palace soon
