These years of being the queen mother!

"It's none of our business." It was rare for Yang Lingyue to express her thoughts softly, which was a hint of caution in words and deeds. "For those of us from good families, what the higher-ups value the most is just keeping ourselves safe."

Maybe add good control.

Yang Lingyue and Wang Zhi looked at each other without saying a word.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Yang Lingyue and Wang Zhi is rather strange.Ms. Wang Zhi is a top-notch and strong girl by nature.When she met Yang Lingyue for the first time, she was startled by Yang Lingyue's appearance, a crisis arose in her heart, and she subconsciously regarded Yang Lingyue as a strong competitor.

Who would have thought that she would be entangled by the girl Fan who looked like brown candy before she had made up her mind to get to know Yang Lingyue. Besides, Yang Lingyue was indifferent and didn't want to get in touch with other outstanding girls who were to be selected.Miss Wang Zhi has worked hard for a long time, but Yang Lingyue is still indifferent to her, not very close.And if we want to say that the relationship has changed for the better, we have to start with God's blessing and Miss Fan being eliminated by the way. After the draft was interrupted and they lived together in the back house of the county government as if they wanted to go to jail, the relationship between Yang Lingyue and Miss Wang Zhi was still good. , at least the two of them stay together on weekdays, and both like to be female celebrities to pass the time.The two seem to be on good terms, but they don't actually have a heart-to-heart relationship... So this is why the relationship between Yang Lingyue and Miss Wang Zhi is rather weird.

After Yang Lingyue went to Liaodong from Yang Mingda, she had a cautious attitude towards people and things, and would not talk to people just because of a sudden good impression.Just like the auntie of the official family in Gengjia Village, Yang Lingyue is close to each other, and she is willing to (really) develop herself in the future, so she can do it.As for Miss Wang Zhi, to be honest, Yang Lingyue, who was too defensive, would not really treat her as one of her own.For those who are destined to be opponents, her heart is not so big, she will think that she has a halo of Mary Su, and when she shines, her opponents will become fans.

Or just live in such a neutral way!Think of yourself as making a gossip friend.With a sneer in her heart, Yang Lingyue grabbed a handful of melon seeds and kowtowed them slowly. The relaxed and comfortable appearance made Miss Wang Zhi envious and jealous.

"That's right, isn't the most rare quality for us to be law-abiding." As he spoke, Wang Zhi's cheeks suddenly turned bright red, and his voice became very small, sounding soft and soft. "Ah Yue, I heard that today's son (referring to Zhu Youxiao) was gentle and generous, but now he is only a weak crown. Hey, Ah Yue, tell me that although I come from a merchant family, I also meet the definition of a good family son. Tell me, do I have hope? Get in that position!"

This ghost question... why are you asking me!

Yang Lingyue rolled her eyes cryptically, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, but said in a serious manner on the face: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies."

Miss Wang Zhi panted like a milk cat, and replied softly, "I want to hear it all."

"Okay, then let me tell a lie first, you are very hopeful to be in that position." Yang Lingyue kowtowed the sunflower seeds, and said lazily, "The truth is, naturally, you don't have that hope, which is more suitable for you." You are not the only one who has the conditions to be a queen."

Yang Lingyue thought that what she said was more reserved, and it shouldn't stimulate Miss Wang Zhi's sky-high ambition.Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Lingyue said it, Miss Wang Zhi's eyes were red, and her round oval face was wrinkled and full of sadness.

"Ah Yue, you're right. I'm a merchant from a merchant family, so how can I be qualified to be a queen? Even if I meet the qualifications, those critics who like to criticize will not let me be a queen." Right now, I only hope to be in the top five, maybe even get a concubine."

There is an undisclosed and unwritten rule in the draft.In the final round of selection, the ten most outstanding girls will be selected. The first one will be the empress, the top five concubines, and the last five canonized according to the emperor's own preferences.After Yang Lingyue knew about this unwritten rule, she had also secretly assessed that if she didn't make any mistakes, she would definitely be in the top five, and at worst, she would be a concubine.So, compared to Miss Wang Zhi who was restless with an impossible extravagant hope, Yang Lingyue adjusted her mentality very well, and pretended that she was spending money to whore a duck...

I have to say that Yang Lingyue's indifferent and self-contained appearance had a good influence on Miss Wang Zhi who lived in the same room. After Yang Lingyue mercilessly revealed that she was not lucky enough to be a queen, Miss Wang Zhi also adjusted her mood very well. After chatting for a while with Yang Lingyue on various marginal topics, the two first went to the food distribution manager Gong'e to get the dinner, hid in the room, and ate slowly.

Even though the meals for the ladies are from the Imperial Dining Room, they are all in charge of the meals of ordinary court ladies and eunuchs, so even though the appearance is passable, the taste is really unflattering. It is either salty or bland, or has a smell smell.Fortunately, the draft selections in the Ming Dynasty were all from good families, ladies from small families, and sometimes they couldn’t get enough to eat, so how could they dislike bad taste, so the food cooked by the imperial chef was not satisfactory, and it was also No show girl complained, and they all obediently took their share and ate the food.

The girl Yang Lingyue is the same, although she looks delicate, but because she has suffered a lot in the past few years after time travel, how can she dislike the bad taste when she often wraps her belly in wild vegetables.No, Yang Lingyue ate the rice porridge with great relish on a plate of braised pork with preserved vegetables that looked like a broken salt shaker, and stir-fried vegetable cabbage that seemed so bland that she forgot to add salt. On the contrary, it seemed that Miss Wang Zhi ate from time to time. Frowning, after barely eating a few chopsticks, he put down the chopsticks and only drank the soft and rotten japonica rice porridge.

Looking at Miss Wang Zhi's kitten-like stomach, Yang Lingyue didn't bother to persuade her to eat more. After asking her if she would still eat, Yang Lingyue put the leftovers back into the food box , carrying the food box, put the food box on the steps outside the house, and closed the door to rest.The food boxes placed on the steps were brought back to the kitchen by the maids for cleaning.

After a night without dreams, Yang Lingyue, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was woken up by the loud voice of the steward Gong'e when it was just dawn in the morning.

In today's final round of selection, the show girls are still wearing uniform blue dresses, with ponytails, blue or pink beaded flowers on their hairpins, rouge and powder, standing in the open-air circle very delicately Here, waiting for one last test - measuring feet.

As mentioned earlier, in the feudal era, the three-inch golden lotus was considered beautiful, and foot binding was very popular in the Ming Dynasty.Ming culture people love small feet in private, and think that women with small feet walk like a willow in the wind, graceful and graceful, not to mention how beautiful they are.

Of course, this is just a private hobby, or a hobby, and the bureaucratic class of the Ming Dynasty who consider themselves cultural people will not put this matter on the table, let alone use it as a standard to select concubines for the emperor.At least the empresses of the Ming Dynasty would not allow women with bound feet to be empresses, so in this round of testing, the show girls with big feet were rejected first, and the show girls with bound feet and certain deformities were also brushed mercilessly. Lose.So strict, in the end, as Miss Wang Zhi said, only a hundred or so beautiful women remained in the Chuxiu Palace, and the rest were led by the stewards of the palaces and sent down to the palaces as maids.
