History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

It was still dark at this time, but lanterns were hung on the gates and walls to guide the way.

It was only after the carriage stopped that they learned that they had arrived at Di'anmen.

Minning looked around through the car window, and a carriage stopped from time to time, two cars parked side by side.

After another half an hour, almost all the show girls arrived. The carriage stopped quietly in front of Di'an Gate, and Minning was sleepy while waiting in the carriage.

After the bell rang four times, she regained consciousness a little, and then heard the sound of the Di'an Gate being opened ahead, and then Xiu Nu's carriage was pulled in.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at the east fence of the Shenwu Gate. They stopped and continued to wait. After the Shenwu Gate opened, Minning and other beautiful women were invited down, and then formally entered the palace through the Shenwu Gate.

At this time, it was nearly Yin time, and the five-watch bell rang. All the beautiful women arrived at the Kunning Gate, and five of them entered the tent in a row, and the nuns in the palace checked their bodies.

Min Ning passed the first round of physical examinations for disabilities and illnesses. At [-]:[-] noon, the eunuch issued an edict, and five people were dismissed in the first round.

Like the rest of the show girls, they went home and waited for the re-election.

Minning passed the re-election at the end of February again. This time, many fewer people were retained, and Minning, who had a relatively low status, became more low-key.

I thought that according to An's father's status, she should be an ordinary bannerman without any official or job position, and she should easily lose the election.

However, to everyone's surprise, Minning was still left with a badge for the third time. This time, he did not leave the palace, but was sent to the North Fifth Institute to learn palace etiquette, waiting for the final selection.

Now the family panicked, it would be fine if the palace selection was finally rejected, but if the emperor really favored Minning, he would never be able to leave the palace for the rest of his life.

What's more, the emperor is now in his [-]s, older than An's father, and An's family doesn't expect to be rich, how could he be willing to send his beautiful daughter into the palace.

In the end, Nanny Shi asked the people in the palace to find out that in the past two years, the emperor liked to favor Han women, such as the Wang family, so when choosing beautiful women, he considered the emperor's taste. Even if the status was low, the top-notch ones remained.

Having come up with this reason, the An family looked at each other in blank dismay, hoping that the emperor would look down on Minning.

Minning didn't know what happened at home, and she was still a little confused when she was sent to the North Fifth Institute with a sign again.

Fortunately, in the first few days of staying in the North Fifth Institute, the aunt in charge sent by the respect room took her to learn the rules. Occasionally, a beautiful girl was called over by the empress to question her. At a glance, she knew that she was watching a show for her elder brother. female.

Minning is just a little transparent here, and her family background in the same office is not high, and people with real status don't bother to care about them.

Minning had learned the rules from Nanny Shi, and was able to successfully complete the daily tasks, but it was miserable for those who lived together. Some families were just ordinary banner people and some came from other places. They were all number one. It's the first time I've come into contact with palace rules, and I can barely meet the standard.

And Minning, who moves fluently, became the target of several people asking for advice.Her daily life consists of chatting with Xiu Nu, practicing the etiquette of the day before, and learning palace rules from her aunt in charge.

Such days are very boring, but because she has never been called out by the empress, she is confident that she will be put down in the end.

Recently, a big event happened in the palace. Because of the rebellion against Galdan last year, the emperor was pleased to confer titles on several older sons this year.The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother were named the county kings, and from the fourth elder brother onwards, the fifth, seventh, and eighth elder brothers were all Baylor.

Although he got rid of the bald-headed elder brother and officially got the title, Si Baylor was not happy. To be precise, this incident made him angry. It didn't make sense that the eldest brother and the third were the county kings, so he became Baylor directly.

However, no one could protest against this kind of thing, and Si Baylor could only hold back even if he was unhappy in his heart.

In the past few years, there have been more elder brothers in the palace. It is inappropriate for several older sons to live in the palace after they have married. go out of the palace.

As soon as she learned that her eldest son was named Baylor, Concubine De was finally distracted, and heard that other high-ranking officials were gearing up to choose a woman for her son who had a title. After receiving the news, Concubine De, Just follow the crowd and prepare to pick someone for the eldest son.

But the eldest son already has a son-in-law, and the concubine De is not going to be like the other concubines who only pick on her family background and put pressure on the eldest daughter-in-law, and the eldest daughter-in-law is usually respectful to her and comes to pay her respects every day. She made trouble, so she called the aunt in charge of the beautiful women in the North Fifth Institute to find some low-born and good-looking ones.

When the aunt in charge heard that Concubine De was picking someone for the fourth elder brother, and as long as she had good looks and a normal family background, it would be best if she was not noisy, the aunt in charge thought that there really was such a person in the Fifth North Institute.

Different from other beautiful girls who jumped up and down and were watched by the lords of the palace, this one is simply a wonderful flower. Not only does she not go out all day, but she is also as quiet as if there is no such person.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was so outstanding that she couldn't stand out every time she was learning palace rules and etiquette, the aunt in charge probably forgot that there was such a person.

The sense of presence is too weak.

It's not that there is no leader who likes this person's color, but when he heard about his family background, they all turned their eyes in disgust.

When Concubine De asked about it, the aunt in charge pushed him out with a heartbeat.

"There is An Jia's outstanding appearance, good personality, gentle and quiet, even the rules are first-class, but her family background is a little lower, her Ama is just an ordinary bannerman, and she works in the Temple of Heaven and Earth." If you really can't keep it in ordinary people's homes, it's better to enter the courtyard of the nobles from the beginning.

When Concubine De heard it, she was good-looking and honest, so she fixed her up without even looking at her, and then chose another one with a better family background, and stuffed her into the eldest son's courtyard together.

At this time, Minning, who was still dreaming of going home, didn't know that she had been sold, and then she walked through the cutscene in a well-behaved manner, only seeing a little yellow in front of her from a distance, and finally left a sign and was sent out of the palace.

After being sent out of the palace, the whole family was a little apprehensive.

Remember the name and send it out of the palace to explain that it is not included in the harem, it may be a marriage, and it is okay to be a wife of ordinary bannermen, but I am afraid that I will only be a concubine for the clan, or the emperor will forget about it. It's the worst. A show girl who doesn't have a sign can't get married on her own.

This made An's family very worried, and the original talk about the marriage was naturally let go, and Zuo Ling came to the door in person to say that the matter fell through.

There was no news on the first day and the second day, and on the third day there were imperial decrees coming out of the palace to marry Xiunu.

In the first few days, there was no Minning's name, and when the whole family was worried, the imperial decree came, and Minning was accused of marrying Sibeile to be a princess.

"Daughter, it's because Amma is incompetent and can't listen to Datian, otherwise I can find someone to check your name."

Although An's family is rich, they haven't really come into contact with noble people.

If it was An Jia's family, there might be a message to enter the palace, and Minning's name would be crossed out in the re-election.

It can only be said that it was a trick of fate. After breaking up with the Anjia clan, their family also cut off the channel to connect with the upper class.

"Ama, don't worry, don't be sad, it's considered a good belonging for your daughter to marry into the prince's mansion." Not to mention that the fourth prince will be the emperor in the future.

Father An, a big man, didn't know how to comfort his daughter, so he sighed.

Minning comforted him, "The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build a mansion for Lord Sibeile. My daughter can stay in the palace for a year or two at most before she can leave the palace. After I leave the palace, I will ask Fujin to be with you and my brother and brother." It's better to meet you than to stay in the harem for the rest of your life. Ama, just treat me as married far away, and I can't come back to see you often."

The family cherishes the last time together.

One evening after the Ching Ming Festival, Minning was carried into the No. [-] Ganxi Institute by a small pink sedan chair.

In Ganxi No. [-], the yard assigned to the fourth master is not big. After all, there are nearly ten masters in a family of all sizes.Minning was assigned to a courtyard, and the person living with her was Gege Yehenala, who was carried in one step ahead of her the day before yesterday.

As for Li Gege and Song Gege who entered the mansion earlier than them, they crowded in another courtyard.

Minning has been sitting on the bed, dressing up since the morning, and only ate two eggs before leaving. Now she is so hungry, she can't help but stare at the apple in the middle of the quilt, swallowing quietly.

The maid serving her was just assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she came a day or two earlier than Minning. Seeing Minning's expression, she hurriedly brought a plate of pastries from the table.

"Gege, Lord Baylor won't be back until later, you should eat some pastries first."

As soon as the gong sounded, the sky was completely dark, and the red candles in the room were already half-burned. Minning was a little sleepy after eating the pastries. She was tired all day, and she was sitting on the bed at this time, feeling tired and drowsy. down point.

The fourth master returned to the palace after finishing his errands, and was about to turn into the main courtyard when he was reminded by the eunuch that today was the day when Xin Gege entered the palace.

The footsteps that were originally heading towards the main courtyard suddenly turned around and walked towards the side courtyard under the guidance of the eunuch.

In front of Sifujin's gate, Fang Fei, a court lady who saw Si Belle turned and left, trotted into the house, "Master Belle just walked outside the courtyard gate, then turned and left again."

Si Fujin was crouching on the beauty's couch holding Honghui, and casually responded to Fangfei's words, if the newly admitted Gege didn't go and see, he would be slapped in the face.

What's more, several women have already entered the courtyard, including the Li family and the Song family in the front, the Nala family and the An Jia family who just entered the mansion today, and more women will enter the palace in the future.

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had to bear it.

What Er Niang said was right, she already had the eldest son, no matter how many women there were in the backyard, she couldn't surpass her.

The title of Master can only belong to Honghui.

As soon as Fourth Master entered the inner room, he saw that the originally empty room had been decorated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were not many festive things, only red candles were lit, and a few plates of peanut and red date cakes were placed on the table.

He opened the bead curtain and walked into the inner room, where his new princess was already sitting on the bed.

At this time, fourth master quickly filtered Xin Gege's background in his mind, his family background was ordinary, nothing worth noting, then fourth master didn't take it seriously, the left and right were just women.

Minning heard footsteps, and then saw a pair of black satin boots parked in front of her, Minning was a little nervous, and then began to think wildly in her mind, this Lord Baylor came back from work, and rushed to her before he could change the boots into shoes this house?

Then her red hijab was lifted.

Minning raised his head, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw the person sitting in front of him.

The man in front of him is just a thin young man, his appearance can only be described as ordinary, with phoenix eyes, extremely thin lips, his mouth is always pursed, giving people an aura of calmness and prestige.

But isn't this the owner of Xiaotangshan's Zhuangzi?

Originally, she knew that the owner of the Zhuangzi was very valuable, but she didn't expect it to be the fourth prince. No, maybe she had guessed in her heart at the beginning, after all, that young man called the fourth younger brother in front of her.

Unexpectedly, after going around, she actually entered the backyard of the Fourth Prince!

Yinzhen looked at the appearance of the little princess in front of him, who stood out from the one in the same courtyard, and couldn't help being a little satisfied. Although he didn't value women, as a man, how could he not like playing with beautiful women by himself.

After calling someone, after waiting for the two to freshen up, they were settled.

Minning was torn apart and eaten with a dazed expression.
