[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Yingchun's spirit was highly concentrated, and she was just waiting for a sudden heart attack when she was dressed. At this moment, the emperor lightly reprimanded, "Nonsense! Jia Daishan's granddaughter is also my junior, how can she be brought into the palace?"

Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief, and she was determined. The emperor told everyone clearly that she would not be included in the harem, that's great!

Seeing the emperor scolding Concubine Shu, the noble concubine's mood improved, and she was too lazy to compete with Concubine Shu, so as not to have a bad influence on the emperor, she asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to leave a sign for Jia Yingchun?"

"Stay, you must stay." The emperor said in a tone that wanted to show dignity to the Jia family.

"Jia Yingchun, the daughter of first-class general Jia She, leave a sign." The eunuch shouted, and the other person who was in charge of recording the name wrote it down on the paper with two strokes.

Yingchun sighed secretly, and said respectfully, "Jia's Yingchun thanks to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

After that, Yingchun returned to her seat under the command of the officials in charge of the draft, and stood quietly on one side like a wooden figure, watching the emperor and concubines review the selection.

For the first batch of beautiful women who came in, the father or grandfather of the family was either a first-rank or second-rank official, and the last one was a third-rank official. Maybe the emperor wanted to save face for the ministers. There were 26 of these thirty beautiful women, only four. People were branded.

When the results of the No. 30 show girls' selection came out, the emperor said that he had something to do before turning around and leaving.

The imperial concubine, Xiunu and the maids and eunuchs present hurriedly sent them off.

After the emperor left, the officials arranged for Yingchun to wait for the beautiful girl to leave. Before leaving, Yingchun heard the noble concubine in the hall say, "Let the beautiful girl behind come in quickly."

Compared with before, the imperial concubine is more lazy and careless.

Yingchun came to a realization. The most important show girls were all ranked first. The emperor and the imperial concubine read it in person, but the show girls at the back were handed over by the emperor because their families were not prominent and had nothing to do with the overall situation. Concubine Shu and others.

Back at Lijingxuan, Yingchun saw the other three of them, so all four of them in Lijingxuan were marked.

Just arrived at Lijingxuan, Sun Jingxian walked over in surprise, "Sister Yingchun, I didn't expect your Jia family ancestor to be such a prominent mansion, it's amazing!"

"It's just a fluke to get the emperor's favor!" Yingchun said without arrogance or rashness, as if the person in the hall who was paid special attention by the emperor was not like her.

"Miss Yan, Miss Lu." Yingchun greeted the other two.

"Miss Jia." Lu Yao smiled shyly.

"Congratulations on adding a girl!" Yan Huiyin congratulated with a gentle smile.

The corner of Yingchun's mouth twitched into a slightly dull smile, and said, "Miss Yan is also happy."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but just now she seemed to see the smile on the corner of Yan Huiyin's mouth froze a little, and then looked at it carefully, it was still the gentle and generous Yan Huiyin, and the smile was still gentle and kind.

Suddenly, Yingchun and the others heard crying outside. According to the rules, no matter who it is, crying is not allowed in the palace.

Several people looked at each other, and Yan Huiyin suddenly suggested, "I don't know what happened outside, why don't we go and have a look, maybe we can help a little!"

Yingchun's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't know what Yan Huiyin meant. In the palace, the most important thing to save her life was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and don't be curious about what happened.

Curiosity killed the cat is no joke in court.

"Listen to Sister Yan, although we are soft-spoken, we might be able to help others!" Sun Jingxian echoed.

"Does Miss Jia want to go with you?" Yan Huiyin suddenly turned around and asked Yingchun.

"Go!" Yingchun said without the slightest hesitation.He didn't intend to die, but it's okay if he was sent out of the palace if he was implicated by others.

"Sister Lu, do you want to go with me?" Sun Jingxian asked while looking at Lu Yao, who had a weak sense of presence.

"I..." Lu Yao hesitated, she remembered what her father told her not to cause trouble or get involved in other people's affairs, but it seemed not good if everyone in the room went, but she didn't go.

"Is Miss Lu tired? Why don't you go and have a rest." Yingchun explained in a voice.

Although it was Sun Jingxian who asked, it would be embarrassing for Lu Yao when all three of them went, but she was not like the one who made embarrassing and shy Lu Yao.

"Miss Lu doesn't have to go. It just so happens that our house needs someone to guard it. What if Miss Lu stays to guard the house?" Yan Huiyin also said.

At this time, Sun Jingxian also suddenly said, "That's right, we also need someone to watch over our house."

No matter how they think about it, at this moment, everyone seems to be encouraging Lu Yao to stay.

"Okay." Lu Yao nodded in agreement, and said as if as a promise, "Don't worry, I will take care of the house."

Sure enough, in the hearts of everyone, this palace is not a safe place.

The three walked out of the house together, hearing the sound coming from the front hall, so the three went straight to the front hall.

When we arrived at the front hall, we saw loud and crying people at a glance.

It was a girl about 15 years old, with a pretty appearance, and she was sitting helplessly on the ground crying at the moment, and the two nuns beside her were about to forcibly drag her out.

Moreover, there are other beautiful girls who are not afraid of things in the yard, one of them is Niu Xiangwu, the eldest granddaughter of Lord Zhen Guo, who is looking at the crying girl in the yard with disdain.

In addition, there is a daughter Su Quan, the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and another daughter is Queen Shulan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

This Su Quan's temperament is somewhat similar to Yan Huiyin's, and he looks like a gentle and considerate person.

At this moment, Su Quan prevented the two nuns from being violent, and persuaded the girl on the ground, "Miss Gao, although the palace is good, it is also a blessing to go home and be with my parents."

Based on this sentence alone, Yingchun and the others knew why this girl Gao was crying. It turned out that she had lost the election and didn't want to go home.

"Miss Su, I know you are a good person, but I can't go back, I really can't go back." The beautiful girl surnamed Gao couldn't help crying as she spoke.

"Miss Gao, the empress has already put down your signboard, please leave the palace immediately, otherwise the servants will report to the imperial concubine and empress, and you will be dealt with according to the palace rules." The nanny also said sternly.

It is also because of Su Quan, the most favored beauty of the imperial concubine, to persuade her, otherwise they would have forked her out long ago. How can a little beauty be allowed to be presumptuous in this palace!

"Mommy, mommy, please be merciful, let me beg the imperial concubine or empress, even if I am a slave or a servant girl, I don't want to go out of the palace." Gao Xiunu begged sadly.

"There are too many people who are greedy for wealth and honor in the palace. How can you stay in this palace if you want to? The servant girl advises you to go out with the servant girl obediently, otherwise there will be trouble, and you will lose your life, so don't get involved Your Gao Family dismissed from office!"

This nanny's complexion is getting worse. Originally, she thought it was just a small accident, and she could handle it by herself without reporting it to the master, so as to avoid the reputation of being incompetent with the master. Miss Su, the concubine, was optimistic My daughter-in-law persuaded her, so she thought about handling it lightly, but she didn't want the matter to become more and more troublesome. Seeing this matter, she might not be able to cover it up.

If she had known this, she would hastened to report it to the higher-ups, and there was no end to it.

"He is actually greedy for wealth and honor in the palace." Sun Jingxian said with a bit of disdain.Yingchun couldn't help but glance at her so much, she is also greedy for wealth and honor, why bother to ridicule others?

Since Sun Jingxian reported that Yan Huiyin was very affectionate to Yan Huiyin from behind the door, and the emperor in the palace mentioned that Duke Rong attached great importance to her, the granddaughter of Duke Rong, Sun Jingxian's attitude towards her changed drastically when she returned to Lijingxuan.

Why laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps?

Moreover, Yingchun always felt that this tall girl seemed to have other plans.

When Su Quan heard Sun Jingxian's words, she looked at Xiunu Gao in disappointment, and ignored her, as if she disdained such people to talk about death.

Seeing that Su Quan no longer intervened in this matter, the nanny raised her eyebrows, exchanged glances with the nanny beside her, and forced herself to pull this tall girl.

This tall girl resisted fiercely, as if she was determined to die and was unwilling to leave the palace.

Suddenly, Yingchun saw this tall girl struggling, her sleeves slipped off for a moment, and her smooth and fair skin was covered with scars, some of which seemed to be pinched and some were drawn by rattan canes, and, look The wound, the scar, does not seem to be done in a day, but has been left over for years.

Could this be the reason why this Gao Xiunv was unwilling to leave the palace?

What's more, Yingchun also saw that the show girl was struggling to show the wound on her arm a little deliberately, no matter what kind of thoughts she had in mind, Yingchun didn't mind helping her.

"Her arm!" Yingchun exclaimed as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

When everyone heard Yingchun's exclamation, they all looked at Gao Xiunv's arm. Just in time, Gao Xiunv broke free from the restraint of her nanny, fell to the ground due to inertia, and inadvertently exposed her arm.

The bruises on the arms made these innocent girls couldn't help but exclaim.

Gao Xiunv realized that she had exposed her arms when she saw someone exclaiming in surprise. As if frightened, she quickly covered her arms with her sleeves and concealed them behind her back.

The granddaughter of Zhen Guogong's family has a very chivalrous heart because she was a martial artist in elementary school. Seeing this, she couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed Gao Xiunv's arm, and pulled up the sleeve.

"Ah..." the timid Xiu Nu was startled.

Compared with half-covering it just now, the full-faced arm is even more scary now. The wounds that have been formed over the years are particularly conspicuous and terrifying on the fair skin!

"This...this...who did it?" Niu Xiangwu asked with a full face.

"I...I..." Gao Xiunv trembled in fright, but she stammered and dared not speak, as if she was afraid.

"Is this the reason why you dare not go home?" Su Quan asked impatiently.

Gao Xiunv just shed tears and dared not say anything else.

"Sister Gao, I misunderstood you. I thought you were greedy for wealth. It turns out that you dare not go home. I only know that she treats you badly, but I don't know that she hits you. Don't be afraid, tell me, There are so many nobles in the palace, let them decide for you." At this time, a beautiful woman rushed out from the side hall, threw herself in front of Gao Xiunv, and said sadly.

Gao Xiunv obviously had scruples in her heart, she just shook her head in fear, not daring to say anything.

"Okay, if you dare not say it, let me say it."

"Hui Rong, don't." Gao Xiunv stopped her.

"Don't persuade me, you don't dare to go back, I'm afraid you will die if you go back, what else are you afraid to say, if they dare to do it, don't be afraid of others to say it." Huirong looked resolute.

"Sister Gao's mother was the daughter of a scholar, and later married a young man from the same village, Sister Gao's father, according to a marriage contract.

Because Sister Gao's grandfather had only one daughter like Sister Gao's mother, after marriage, Sister Gao's grandfather supported Sister Gao's father to study the imperial examination with the strength of the whole family.

But he didn't want her to find another marriage after she got rich, not only pissed off Sister Gao's grandfather, but also demoted Sister Gao's mother to a concubine. Poor Sister Gao's mother couldn't stand the blow and left early, leaving Gao My elder sister and younger brother lived under the hands of their stepmother. Last year, I heard that elder sister Gao’s younger brother was sick and had no cure, so he died. Now that I think about it, he died of illness, probably because he was abused and died! "

Gao Xiunv couldn't help but fell on the ground and wept unceasingly, it was obvious that what Hui Rong had said was right.

All the beautiful women's eyes were red, and they couldn't help cursing Gao Xiunv's father secretly.

"I think this matter needs to be reported to the imperial concubine." Su Quan said, wiping away tears.

All the beautiful women agreed, even the two nuns who had treated Gao Xiunv roughly just now looked at Gao Xiunv with softer eyes.

In the end, the nanny went to report to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine sent someone to bring Gao Xiunv to question her.

When leaving, Gao Xiunv kowtowed gratefully to Xiunv who helped her, and then left without looking back.

To tell the truth, what she wanted to do the most was to assassinate the emperor. It was said that it was a serious crime to punish the nine clans. Finally, she thought of the uncles from her grandfather who often helped her, so she endured it.
