[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

Entering June, the general election of the best girls in Beijing is coming.

This year's draft is a general election. The selected girls are from the Eight Banners, and the household department is in charge, but the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will inevitably be involved in it. Therefore, whether it is the queen or Gu Qianqian, they are busy without touching the ground.

While they were busy, the atmosphere in the harem became slightly tense.

The show girls entering the palace have already passed the primary selection, and a batch of show girls have been screened out, and the rest of the show girls who have been left with a brand will live in the Chuxiu Palace, waiting for the re-selection and at the same time listening to the show in the Chuxiu Palace. The nuns teach the rules, but the empresses in the palace have more or less inquired about the situation of these girls.

The girls in this year's draft are all at the right age, and they look good. What's more, some of the girls this time are from famous and powerful families. Therefore, as soon as these girls are reserved, they will first let the concubines People are confused.

"I heard that the appearance of several beautiful girls is so marked that the mothers can't stop boasting." Duan Rong offered a cup of tea, and reported the news to the queen, with a soft voice, "It is said that the beautiful girl Niu Colu The appearance is the most outstanding, and the family background is not bad."

Niu Yuluxiu, the queen frowned. There were too many people in the primary election that day, and even the queen couldn't remember what Niu Guluxiu looked like. Concubine, how about it?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Duan Rong's face, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Of course it's not as good as Concubine Xian."

Although it is inappropriate to say so, the appearance of the current Concubine Xian is truly unparalleled in the world. Her appearance is like a peony watered with gold, silver and jade dew. Every movement is completely natural and seductive.

How can a beauty like this be comparable to those beautiful girls who have just shown a bit of beauty?

"Then you don't have to care about her." The Queen's eyebrows showed a bit of a sneer, she took the tea cup casually, took a sip, and said with contempt in her tone, "If her beauty is comparable to that of Concubine Xian, maybe there is a The chances of being branded. Since it is not comparable, the result of this show girl will only be branded."

Duan Rong was puzzled, but Nanny Liu showed approval, obviously agreeing with the Queen's opinion.

"Compared to her, you should pay more attention to other beautiful girls, and see which ones are talented and good-looking." The queen put down the tea cup and said decisively.Since Concubine Shu was demoted to nobleman Shu, there are only a handful of concubines on her side who are favored by her. The pure concubine is useless at all, and the number of times Long Live Lord goes to her is not as much as to nobleman Shu.

Seeing that Lord Long Live's thoughts are gradually only on Concubine Xian, it would be a lie for the Queen to say that she is not worried, so in this general election, she has put all her thoughts into picking a promising one to cultivate.No matter how beautiful Concubine Xian looks, after all, men love the new and dislike the old, so they may not be favored by newcomers.

"Yes, this servant has remembered." Duan Rong replied hastily.

The queen just nodded.

She paused, as if remembering something, she said to Liu Mama, "Mama Liu, is there any news from Changchun Palace?"

Although the Queen's words didn't make it clear, Mammy Liu also knew that she was asking about Gui Zhi, she shook her head and said, "There is no news so far, and this servant has told her to inquire carefully."

The queen frowned, not very satisfied with the result. Concubine Xian was also involved in the draft this time, and she didn't believe that Concubine Xian really didn't have any thoughts.Concubine Xian is too scheming, if she doesn't figure out what she is scheming as soon as possible, the queen will always feel worried, "Let her keep an eye on it, no matter what method she thinks of, she has to get her words out!"

There was a look of inevitability on her face.

……

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Concubine has sent a lot of materials to Chuxiu Palace, so why don't we send some there too." Gui Zhi said as he kneaded Gu Qianqian's shoulders vigorously.

Gu Qianqian was originally closing her eyes and resting her mind, but she couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this. She opened her eyes, and lightly tapped Gui Zhi's forehead with the palace fan in her hand, "What are you talking about? The imperial concubine gave it away, so we will too. If it falls into the eyes of others, isn't this palace picking up people's wisdom?"

Guizhi covered her forehead and let out a low cry. She sized up Gu Qianqian secretly, and seeing that she was not angry, she put down her hand and said very 'wronged': "The basic necessities of those show girls are all their mothers who let people stare at them. Yes, Your Majesty has put so much thought into it, and the Imperial Concubine and Empress Dowager have sent some materials, and she wants to invite people's hearts, and this servant is wronged for your Majesty."

"I wonder why you suddenly mentioned this matter, so it's because of this." Gu Qianqian smiled, "It's my duty to take care of them in the first place, so I can't talk about putting my heart into it."

"Your Majesty, you are too modest." Guizhi bit her lower lip, as if she was not reconciled to her, "I know that you don't care, but we have to prevent the imperial concubine from really drawing someone over. There is also movement."

Her anxious appearance, in the eyes of people who don't know the situation, may be able to think how loyal she is.

Gu Qianqian, however, has heard the way, she is courteous for nothing, she is either a rape or a thief, maybe Gui Zhi is following the Queen's order to inquire about the news?The more she thought about it, the more she realized that was the case.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't plan to choose her own among the show girls this time. In this harem, fighting alone to the end will not end well.Gu Qianqian actually had someone who planned to develop herself before, but the people in the harem had their own masters, so she was afraid and did not dare to act rashly.But now, these show girls are undoubtedly the best candidates, young and beautiful, simple-minded, and more importantly, these show girls haven't decided who to turn to.

Therefore, Gu Qianqian did, as the queen had expected, intentionally select good seedlings from this batch of beautiful girls.After all, it's nothing else, she will be pregnant in the future, and she will have someone to serve Qianlong, so it's better to benefit her own people than to benefit others.

However, she will not reveal her thoughts at will.

Gu Qianqian changed her mind, and smiled meaningfully: "You are worrying too much, I have already taken a fancy to the candidate."

Guizhi was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment and surprise on her face. She intended to trick out Concubine Xian's plan, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xian had already taken a fancy to someone. Today, Concubine Xian has never revealed her preference for a beautiful girl, who would have thought that she has a city in her heart.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't we be more anxious? If this is caused by the imperial concubine or..." Gui Zhi wanted to continue talking, but Gu Qianqian was already impatient, and she waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I know what to do, You don't need to say more."

For the sake of what she said, Gui Zhi naturally couldn't ask any more questions, so she pretended to be relieved, and nodded, "The slave girl is relieved."

Gu Qianqian glanced at her, clicked her tongue, sat up, her temples were shaking, her eyes were shining, and there was a smile on her lips, "Forget it, I have convinced you. I heard that a noble concubine wants to Invite the show girls to her Zhongcui Palace, and ask the embroiderers to tailor clothes for them, and I will simply join in the fun."

"Really?!" Guizhi was overjoyed.

Gu Qianqian took a look at her, "Who is this palace? Could it be that he would lie to you?" When she said this, she tapped Guizhi's nose and said to Du Juan who was serving beside her, "Look at this People, I don't care about these things, she just babbled beside me, saying that my ears are getting calluses, but now I care about it, she doesn't believe it, what is this?"

Du Juan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is not something you are used to."

"Okay, even you made fun of me." Gu Qianqian put on a straight face, pretending to be angry, but the smile on her eyebrows completely betrayed her mood.

Even Bai Ling was not afraid, and joked a few words with a smile.

The masters and servants were chatting and laughing, lively and lively, but under the laughter, few of them were genuinely happy.

Guizhi got Gu Qianqian's permission, and she couldn't help secretly proud of how much she was favored by Concubine Xian now. She planned to find a way to follow Concubine Xian tomorrow, so that she could understand what Concubine Xian liked. who.

After all, Zhongcui Palace is the territory of Concubine Gao. Gu Qianqian had to say something when she was going, and Concubine Gao did not know why, but she agreed with her mouth and did not stop her. This caused other concubines in the harem to think about it and handed over posts one after another. In the end, even the queen said she wanted to come and have a look.

At this moment, the ladies of Chuxiu Palace became nervous.

Before, they just wanted to see Concubine Gao, so they were very anxious. Now, tomorrow, they want to see all the empresses in the harem. Among these people, the timid ones were so nervous that they stayed up all night, worrying that they would behave inappropriately tomorrow, but the bold ones would not sleep. I can't help thinking about how to behave when I see you ladies tomorrow.The imperial concubine and the ladies all understand the thoughts in their hearts, and they all know that if they want to gain a foothold in the current harem, they will die faster and worse if they are alone. The only way out is to choose a mountain gate to take refuge in. Therefore, This tomorrow is crucial, even enough to change their lives.

The next day, at about three o'clock, Gu Qianqian took Guizhi and others to Zhongcui Palace. She came neither early nor late, and when she arrived, she met with the imperial concubine and others and found a seat to sit down.

Not long after, the show girls came.

Dozens of beautiful girls respectfully saluted the queen and the others. The queen asked them to stand up with a smile while looking at them. Among so many people, there were two of them who looked the best, one was Niu Co Lu Xiunv, with a bright and flamboyant appearance, and the other is Suo Chuo Luo Xiunv. Poor, although the Sochoro family has declined a lot in recent years, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it can be regarded as having some status in the court.

"Empress, what do you think of these beautiful girls?" Gao Guifei said to the queen with a smile on her lips.

The queen smiled and said: "That's naturally very good, everyone is beautiful, I like it when I look at it."

The show girls below all showed shy looks.

Concubine Gao smiled deeper, "Since that is the case, the empress can't be stingy today. The concubine rewarded them with material for making clothes. This good material must be matched with good jewelry. What do you think, empress?"

The queen gave Concubine Gao a meaningful look, and she knew that Concubine Gao was going to make a fuss, "I also have this intention, so I asked someone to prepare some jewelry. You ladies can choose one or two, and see if you like it or not." ?”

She nodded towards Duanrong and Zhengyan.

The two took a step forward with the dowry in their hands, and Madam Liu opened it herself. As soon as the dowry was opened, the jewelry inside caught the eyes of the beautiful ladies. Those luxurious and exquisite jewelry made everyone's breath stop.

Not to mention them, even Gu Qianqian couldn't help but secretly thought that the empress queen was really generous when she saw it.

"These jewelry are most suitable for girls of your age," the queen smiled softly, "You don't have to be restrained, just pick what you like."

Concubine Gao smiled and nodded, "Yes, they may all be sisters in the future, so you can be more casual."

Gu Qianqian was drinking tea next to her, and she couldn't help but feel a headache for these beautiful girls. This gift is not jewelry, it's clearly fate, what a gift.

On the bright side, she just chooses jewelry. If she is really stupid and chooses jewelry as she likes, then it is estimated that the good life of that beautiful girl will come to an end. The jewelry used in this dowry is all luxurious, but the value is different.If you choose a good one, you will surrender to the queen, if you choose an ordinary one, it means to decline to surrender. There are many ways here, and if you are not smart enough, you will find your own death in a matter of minutes.

After thinking about it, Gu Qianqian didn't do anything, and didn't make a sound to remind her. If she can't even make a decision on this issue, then it is probably the best way out to be dismissed.
