Queen is the top

How did she enter the palace to run for female officer?Each family is only allowed to apply for one quota. She was reported to the palace by the old matriarch, did Shi Daoran apply for one more?But this is against the rules.

Shi Qiaohuang turned around in his heart, he didn't understand how Shi Daoran did it, and he couldn't understand the purpose of Shi Daoran's actions.

She had no choice but to keep in mind that Shi Qiaoting wanted to frame Shi Yuqing again and again, and even tried to seduce the prince, so she had to be careful of her no matter what.

Da Shanggong glanced at Master Qiao Ting's name, and the four Shang Palaces studied her talent and character as usual. The smug smile on Shi Qiaoting's face was lingering, and she glanced at the four Shang Palaces. There was some contempt in the middle, and the few questions about talents and virtues were all perfunctory, which caused the four people to shake their heads frequently.

The four Shanggongs drew "X" next to her name without hesitation. The Secretary handed over the roster to Xu Shanggong. She lowered her eyelids and took a look, but said: "Yes."

The four Shang Gong looked at her in disbelief, but seeing her cold and serious face, she gave the four of them a hard look, and then lowered their heads in fear.

The smug smile on Shi Qiaoting's face was even worse, she snorted, and raised her neck, holding the red bamboo cards that proved her passing, and swayed past the four Shanggongs, and by the way, she waved the bamboo cards in front of some of the officials who were not selected. The piercing smile caused other people to look sideways, but they dared not speak out, so they still had to stand upright with their heads down.

Shi Qiaoting was flamboyant by nature, and Shi Qiaohuang knew better than outsiders, and this move aroused her curiosity even more. No matter how stupid Shi Qiaoting was, she would not be so rampant in the palace. What was even more strange was that the four palace officials The expression of dissatisfaction couldn't be more obvious, why did the Dashang Palace keep her?

Was Shi Qiaoting really sent in by Shi Daoran?

Shi Qiaohuang's mind sank, and his eyes became darker.

The unselected official ladies waited on the side, weeping secretly or calmly, and the eunuchs who passed the selection were led to the side hall by the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to wait. Only after all the female officials had been selected would they be taken to the apse of the Shang Palace Bureau Rest and wait for the second selection tomorrow.

When Shi Qiaohuang heard Si Yan uttering his name, he straightened his clothes in a hurry, walked up to the four palace lords and stood respectfully.

The four Shang Gong looked at her demeanor and appearance, nodded, and studied her talents as usual.

Teacher Qiao Huang answered one by one. She spoke decently, was polite, and answered the questions accurately and skillfully. The four courtiers nodded and smiled frequently, thinking that they had found a good seedling.

Si Ji looked at the row full of red "〇", smiled slightly, agreed with the opinions of the four Shanggongs from the bottom of his heart, and handed the roster to Xu Shanggong for review.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shanggong didn't answer, he just stared at Shi Qiaohuang for a few times, and said coldly: "Not allowed."

Si Ji's hand holding the roster trembled, and he couldn't help but look up at Xu Shanggong. The four Shanggongs' eyes widened in shock, and they looked at each other, and soon their expressions returned to normal.

Shi Qiaohuang's heart was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look at Xu Shanggong, but he felt that the pupils of the other party were as cold as ice.

Shi Qiaohuang understood, without showing any expression, he respectfully bowed to the four Shang Palaces and the Da Shang Palace, walked gracefully to the unselected crowd and stood with his head bowed, but he could still feel the greatness coming from the main hall. The scorching gaze from above.

Shi Qiaohuang's heart is full of twists and turns. If she loses the election this time, she doesn't know when she will be able to enter the palace. She can't enter the palace, but Shi Qiaoting can walk around in the palace. Guangda can protect Yuqing, but he is hard to guard against. If she succeeds by chance, then he will not be able to use half of his strength outside the palace, so what should I do.

Shi Qiaohuang panicked, secretly thinking about the strategies left behind. There were fewer and fewer official ladies to be selected, and the time was getting shorter and shorter. Shi Qiaohuang thought of hundreds of strategies in a panic, but none of them worked.

With the end of the palace examination for the last official lady, the unselected and the selected are led by the eunuchs who perform their respective duties, and they will go to their respective places, either outside the palace, or the back hall of the Shang Palace Bureau.

Shi Qiaohuang walked along with the crowd, wondering if he should find an opportunity to escape from the losers and mix into the passing crowd.

She looked at the back of the little eunuch who was about to leave the court, and thought that her martial arts skills should still be able to sneak past his eyes.

Xu Shanggong got up and was just about to leave with the four Shanggongs when he heard a loud but steady female voice outside the hall: "Everyone, please stay."

Xu Shanggong was taken aback for a moment, then stopped in his tracks, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then led several Shanggongs to the center of the hall to greet her. The rest of the unselected officials and eunuchs stopped in place and saluted her.

The woman's footsteps gradually approached, Shi Qiaohuang raised his eyes secretly, but saw that the other person was also looking at him, but quickly looked away again.

The woman looked a little old, with a deep furrow between her brows, she seemed quite inaccessible.

When Xu Shanggong saw the person coming, he changed his arrogant expression and said with a smile: "What brought Aunt Su here? Aunt Su hasn't come to Shanggong Bureau for a long time, and the sisters miss her very much."

Shi Qiaohuang heard Xu Shanggong's slightly obsequious smile, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Who is the identity of the person who can make the chief manager, Da Shanggong, so careful to please him.

The person who was called Aunt Su, although still frowning, had a softer expression on his face, and said with a faint smile: "I really want to come and walk around more, but there are too many things in the Queen's Palace, and I can't take it easy." time."

Xu Shanggong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, Aunt Su helps His Highness manage many things in the Six Palaces, so you are naturally busy."

Aunt Su smiled, glanced at her, and shifted her gaze to the unsuccessful official lady, "I'm here today for a business, and I ask Xu Shanggong to save me."

Xu Shanggong followed her line of sight to look there, his heart was cleared, and he sighed secretly, after all, he was a few steps behind.He just pretended not to know, "Look at what Auntie said, just say what Auntie has to do, and I will do my best as an official."

Aunt Su's eyelids drooped slightly, covering the fleeting contempt in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Xu Shanggong." After she finished speaking, her voice was three minutes lower than before, and said: "His Royal Highness There is a lack of a lovely female official in charge, and I heard that Qiao Huang, the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Shaoguo County, has both virtue and talent, and she wants to serve by her side."

Xu Shanggong rolled his eyes secretly, remembering the order given to him by the master: To prevent Shi Qiao Huang from entering the palace, if she can't be stopped, she can only be sent to the master, and she must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the queen and the prince.

Xu Shanggong groaned in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "His Royal Highness definitely wants to agree, but this is unreasonable, the official is really..."

Aunt Su glanced at her, only this glance made Xu Shanggong startled, but soon the sharpness in Aunt Su's gaze disappeared, replaced by a hint of arrogance: "Sir Shanggong is right, but Shanggong Your Excellency also knows that Her Highness the Empress has managed the Six Palaces for many years and worked so hard to make the harem so peaceful, but now she just wants to be served by a worthy female official, presumably, Lord Shanggong will sell this face."

Xu Shanggong was concerned about his master's order, and when he tried to speak again, Aunt Su gave him a slap in the face and silenced him, "Master Shanggong, please remember, who is the real master in the harem now."

Xu Shanggong thought of Concubine Hui, who used to be the mighty Concubine Hui, who was in charge of the Sixth Palace together with the Empress. Now she has been demoted to a concubine and has been kept in confinement by the emperor.

Now this harem is not in the hands of the queen alone, Xu Shanggong lost his mind for a while.

Aunt Su didn't wait for her to react, "Master Shang Gong has acquiesced, then I will take him away. In the future, Su Jin will have time to thank Lord Shang Gong."

Xu Shanggong was taken aback for a moment, and when he was about to say more, Su Jin had already called out to the crowd, "Where is Shi Qiao Huang?"

Shi Qiaohuang stood a little far away from Su Jin and Xu Shanggong, just now he saw a few people talking in low voices, but their expressions were quite exciting, but he didn't understand why, when he heard Su Jin calling his name, he was a little dazed, and Standing out of the crowd, saluted respectfully: "The girl is here."

Su Jin looked at her and nodded, "I am ordered by His Highness to take you back to Changle Palace to serve, you are willing."
