[Qingchuan Space+Red Mansion] Qingluan is a thing in the pool

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the three-year draft.

Regarding the Eight Banners draft, Emperor Shunzhi issued a clear decree during his reign: all Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Army Eight Banners officials, sergeants in another household, and women aged 13 to 17 in the families of idle men, regardless of their concubines, must participate The three-year candidate for the show girl.Of course, women over the age of 17 are not allowed to participate.

Among them, Wang Xiluan belonged to the Han Army Xiangbai Banner. He was thirteen years old and happened to be on the list for this year's draft.

The Eight Banners draft held every three years is directly presided over by officials from the household department.According to the rules of the draft, those who have been selected can marry themselves, and those who are selected can prepare for the selection of queens and concubines or bestow marriages on clans and ministers. (Wang Xifeng's situation does not belong to the above two situations. She was married by Gu Nian, the old man of Kangxi, and Jia Daishan's brother-in-law. She couldn't bear Jia Daishan's offspring to wither and fail, so she agreed to Jia Daishan's request for a special marriage.)

As we all know, Emperor Yongzheng is now over middle-aged and not lustful, and the three elder brothers are all grown-ups. Therefore, almost all the high-achieving young ladies in the Eight Banners are running for the three adult elder brothers. to go.

On the day of the draft, Wang Xiluan got up early.After talking with Wang Shi and Wang Ziteng for a while, and having breakfast with them, Wang Xiluan changed into a pink flag dress in the green gauze cupboard in the main courtyard.

Eight Banners show girls can only wear pink or light green flag dresses without embroidery.Therefore, Wang Xiluan, who loves peach blossoms only among the flowers, abandoned the light green flag dress.The one that was brought into the palace, and the one on his body, were all pink flag suits.

Because the draft girls cannot wear headgear other than pearl flowers.Therefore, Wang Xiluan personally combed her own hair, with bangs half-covering the front, and braiding the black silk at the back, hanging loosely behind her head.

In the hair bun, Wang Xiluan only took a few small pearl flowers as embellishments, and then put on the same pink but lustrous pearl earrings, which can be seen to be expensive at a glance. The mule cart came to the banner station, and the same banner and other beautiful women from the Eight Banners of the Han Army who came to the capital early sat in the mule cart and waited. The participating leaders and leaders of the banner arranged the order for them .

The show girls enter the palace to participate in the election according to the order of Manchu, Mongolian and Han.The first is the relatives of the concubine in the palace, followed by the women who have been selected to keep their badges this time, and the last is the new selection of this time. They are arranged in order of age, one after another.

There are double lights on the mule cart, and there is a sign of "the daughter of a certain leader of a certain banner".For example, Wang Xiluan, she has a logo that says "the daughter of Prince Teng, the admiral of the Nine Gates of the Han Army inlaid with white flags", obliquely hanging on her body.

Because Wang Ziteng was in a high position and won the emperor's heart, Wang Xiluan was the tallest among the Eight Banners of the Han Army.Xiu Nu looked at her one after another, and many of them stepped forward to talk to her.

Whether envious or jealous of these show girls, whether it's flattery or flattery, Wang Xiluan always smiled back, neither offending nor making friends with them.After a chat, there are only a few people who can get along with each other.

A group of beautiful girls gathered together in threes and fives, chatting while standing or sitting.It was almost until sunset that the mule cart moved slowly.Sitting in the mule cart, Wang Xiluan looked up at the sky, saw the night sky was full of stars, and then suddenly realized that it was already night.

The mule cart carrying Xiunu moved slowly and slowly entered Di'anmen.The mule cart kept going until it stopped outside the Shenwu Gate.The beautiful women listened to the orders of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and all sat in the mule cart, and did not all get out of the cart until the moment the palace gate opened.After the show girls got off the mule cart, they all got together and didn't walk around casually.Instead, the officials of the household department maintained order for the beautiful girls, and then the eunuchs led them into the Shunzhen Gate.

After entering the Shunzhen Gate, there are the management aunts and the chief internal supervisor waiting there.After the beautiful women lined up in a row according to the order of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, they came out to give lectures.

The show girls lined up obediently, and after listening to the chief inspector and the aunts in charge for a while, the aunts in charge who checked the top card let the show girls follow them in the order of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners. Chuxiu Palace, and then let the maids and eunuchs according to the top card; lead the showgirls into different rooms in Chuxiu Palace to rest.

Three to five beautiful women live in one house, so the rooms are all very large.The room Wang Xiluan was assigned to was neither too big nor too small, so only three beautiful girls were arranged.

Wang Xiluan entered the room with two other beautiful women who belonged to the Han army banner, talking and laughing.

The three embroidery beds in the room were all facing the window, but the one in the middle was facing the door. Wang Xiluan was a little displeased, so he chose the one near the corner with a window.

The three beautiful beds are all partitioned with azure-colored soft smoke and flower railings of Wanzi brocade.Therefore, Wang Xiluan didn't take out the fabric that Wang had specially prepared for the partition, but directly put his clothes into the sourwood branch closet next to the embroidered bed.

After placing the clothes and items, Wang Xiluan smiled faintly, and greeted the other two beautiful girls who also placed the items respectively. "Hello, I'm Wang Xiluan, my father, Wang Ziteng, a man with a white banner in the Han army, I'm thirteen this year, I don't know my sisters?"

A beautiful girl in a light green flag dress with a slightly rounded appearance answered first. "I'm Guarjia Yuwan, my father Guarjaluo Duoli, a member of the White Banner of the Han Army, I'm fifteen this year, two years older than you, if you don't mind, just call me sister."

Wang Xiluan called out her sister, and at this moment, another beautiful girl who was also wearing a light green flag dress, with fair skin and an oval face smiled a little shyly, and then said slowly with a shy face. "I'm Su Jin, my father Su Zhaonan, the Han army flag is inlaid with blue flags, and I'm fourteen this year."

The show girl named Su Jin had just finished speaking, but there was a sneer on the slightly rounded show girl's face, as if mocking Su Jin's low status.The ridicule quickly disappeared, and Guerjia Yuwan showed a sweet and unusual smile.She affectionately pulled Su Jin's wrist and chatted with him. If she hadn't seen the slight ridicule before, Wang Xiluan would almost have thought that this was a sweet girl who was careless, lively and cheerful.

only......

This Su Jin is really as shy and harmless as she looks.

Wang Xiluan's heart was slightly sunburned, and he had doubts about this conclusion for the time being.If my memory is correct, this Su Jin is the Su family who is nicknamed Chunhuihuangguifei?From a powerless daughter of Bai Ding of the Han Army Banner to become an imperial concubine, she even gave birth to two sons and one daughter and survived. Among them, this daughter—Princess Hejia was married to Fucha, the eldest son of Fucha Fu Heng. I'm afraid the scheming means can't be justified.

—but it has nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiluan curled his lips into a faint smile again.

She straightened her sleeves, holding her handkerchief embroidered with blossoming peach blossoms, and joined in their conversation.The three beautiful girls chatted for a while, and then felt sleepy. After greeting each other, they went back to rest on the embroidery beds they had chosen.

On the second day, the show girls from the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han banners began to line up according to their respective Eight Banners, and the primary election began.The so-called primary selection is nothing more than checking the record card, and going to a room in a courtyard according to the roster to let the nuns check the body for defects, odors, etc.

Wang Xiluan passed this level very smoothly.In such a short time for the medical examination, Wang Xiluan didn't even have time to hand over the rich purse that he had prepared earlier, which is really strange.

Wang Xiluan, who had successfully passed, returned to his residence. After a while, Guerjia Yuwan and Su Jin also entered the house.The faces of both of them were not very good-looking. Seeing that Wang Xiluan was practicing embroidery in the room, they couldn't help showing a slightly stiff smile.

"Sister came back so early."

Among the three, Wang Xiluan is the youngest (but barely passed the draft line), but he is also the best-looking among the three.No, or in other words, it is difficult to find a comparable beauty among the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners, and even Ulanarachi Buchen, who is known as the most beautiful Manchu beauty, is also difficult to compare with.After all, the two of them are as beautiful as roses and flames, and as beautiful as peach blossoms and autumn waters. They are both beauties, but Wang Xiluan's beauty is even more shocking.

"I just went back to the house and was taking the embroidery shed to embroider a handkerchief. I never thought that the two sisters would come back." Wang Xiluan replied with a smile, her tone was neither flattering nor alienating, maintaining her usual demeanor.

Guerjia Yuwan and Su Jin put away the stiffness on their faces, smiled slightly, and sat on the left and right of Wang Xiluan respectively, and began to chat about embroidery with each other.So the time passed.A few days later, all the show girls who hadn't passed the primary election left the palace, and the second round of selection began.

In this draft, there were 110 women from Manchu, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners who should be drafted, and only 19 women who did not pass the primary selection.These one hundred beautiful girls were divided into twenty shifts of five people, and they waited outside Shunzhen's gate according to the order.While waiting, the eunuchs were introduced by shift and entered the second round of selection.

The first to be introduced into the Tiyuan Hall by the eunuch Shi was Manbaqi Xiunv.Among them are three from Zhenghuangqi, two from Xianghuangqi, six from Zhenghong, Xianghong, and Zhenglan, one from Xianglan, three from Zhengbai, and three from Xiangbai. A total of [-] beautiful women are divided into six shifts.

The Wulanala clan belongs to the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria, so Gege from Zuoling Naerbu's family is also among them.They formed a group with the two beautiful girls from the Xianghuang Banner, and were immediately led into the Tiyuan Hall by the eunuch Shi.

Today, the Ulanala family, the Yuan empress of Emperor Yongzheng, is still built here, so it is a foregone conclusion that Gege of Zuoling Naerbu's family will be left with a plaque.Regarding this, Master Yongzheng just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then calmly dismissed all the other four beautiful girls from the first class.

Because there were only 37 outstanding girls in the Eight Banners this year, it was soon the turn of the Mongolian Eight Banners to be selected.There are slightly more people in Mongolian Eight Banners, and there are a total of [-] show girls who have passed the primary selection, among which there are only a few show girls who have been left with a brand.

As time passed slowly, in the afternoon, the selection of the show girls of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners had already been completed.At this time, it was the turn of the beautiful women of the Eight Banners of the Han Army to be led into the Tiyuan Hall by the eunuch Shi according to the order of the squad.

There are 33 show girls in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, divided into six shifts.Wang Xiluan was assigned to the first class by the household secretary because of Wang Ziteng's high position.

After the five beautiful girls entered the hall, they all lowered their heads and stood in a row after Yingying bowed.

I don't know if it was intentional by the household secretary who arranged the order of shifts. Among the five beautiful women who entered the palace in the first class, only Wang Xiluan wore a pink flag, and the other four all wore light green flags.Sitting on a high place, Lord Yongzheng took a look, only to feel his eyes light up. The four beautiful girls had turned into green leaves, which further accentuated Wang Xiluan's fairy-like beauty.

I haven't seen her for many days, and this little girl has become more and more beautiful. No wonder that kid Yuanshou couldn't forget it after seeing her, and begged him for help openly and secretly.Although for the sake of Yuanshou's succession in the future, the power of Wang Ziteng's line cannot be ignored, but thinking about the girl Jing Nu who has been close to her since she was a child, and she loves her like a daughter even though she doesn't say she loves it like a treasure, this is a sudden surprise. He was begged by Yuan Shou for a while, and to be honest, he always had the feeling that all the good flowers were gobbled up by pigs.

Thinking of this, a faint, almost invisible smile appeared on Yongzheng Lord's majestic and ruthless face, which looked like a true moral monarch. "The beautiful girl in the pink flag dress in the middle raised her head, let me take a look." After a little silence, Master Yongzheng said suddenly.

Hearing this, Wang Xiluan raised his head embarrassingly, and faced the aloof Yongzheng, so that he could take a good look, and it was better to look carefully.

I saw Master Yongzheng's face was stern, but a smile flashed in his eyes and he looked at Wang Xiluan and asked. "You look good, but what are you good at?"

Wang Xiluan flicked the handkerchief in his hand, bowed to Lord Yongzheng and the queen beside him, and said. "Long Live Lord, the Empress, the Concubine Xi and the Concubine Yu, the servant has learned needlework from the mother of the family since he was a child, and he is not only proficient but also proficient. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the slave is ashamed. The four arts, A servant is just more proficient in one painting."

Wang Xiluan's voice was as soft as spring water in March, but the empress who was sitting on the lower right side of Lord Yongzheng frowned and asked in displeasure. "It's just proficiency in painting, what about poetry~~"

Hearing this, Wang Xiluan's mind was moved, but he looked at the emperor and empress calmly on the surface, his slightly suspicious eyes seemed to be wondering why the empress asked such a question.

After receiving a cold glance from Master Yongzheng, the queen also knew that she had slipped her words. She wanted to say some face-saving words to ease the situation, but who would have thought that Concubine Xi, who was sitting silently beside her, would suddenly interject.

"Since you are good at drawing, just draw a simple one."

Lord Yongzheng nodded, glanced at Concubine Xi who was smiling very kindly, and suddenly had a thought, and said. "Just draw a portrait of the imperial concubine."

Hearing this, Concubine Xi raised her head abruptly, and looked at Yongzheng Lord in astonishment, but seeing Yongzheng Lord's eyes softened a lot even though there was no smile, her eyes turned red, and then she lowered her head again.

——After so many years, did the Lord finally put her in his heart?Concubine Xi couldn't help being more and more satisfied with Wang Xiluan.In fact, the noble concubine Niu Gulu was born in a small family, but her personality is indifferent. After she was given to Lord Yongzheng by Emperor Kangxi, she regarded him as the sky. Although Lord Yongzheng is not good at women, he is also Satisfied with Niu Colu, who has always been quiet and responsible, especially after comparing the queen's performance in recent years, Yongzheng said that it is better to be honest and responsible when he is old. .

Hearing that Lord Yongzheng ordered Wang Xiluan to paint in the hall, the little eunuch who was waiting at the side brought the table, brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and respectfully invited Wang Xiluan to take a seat.

Wang Xiluan thanked the little eunuch kindly and took his seat.First grind the ink with an ink stick dipped in water, then adjust Zhu Dan and other colorful painting materials, and then sit down.Holding a brush in hand, he smeared on the white rice paper like a swimming dragon. After a while, a lifelike portrait of Concubine Xi was completed.

The little eunuch waiting on the side stepped forward to dry the ink on the painting, and then held it respectfully with both hands and presented it to Yongzheng, the Queen, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Yu for inspection.Among the four, the Queen's expression was a bit secretive but she didn't say anything, Yong Zheng smiled as if appreciating, Concubine Yu was full of admiration, only Concubine Xi really couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.She glanced at Yongzheng affectionately, and said to Wang Xiluan in a gentle voice.

"This is not called a little proficiency, it should be said to be very proficient."

As soon as the noble concubine Xi spoke, she saw that the empress's haggard face, which could not be suppressed even after applying a lot of powder, twisted.With a sound of tearing, Wang Xiluan, who was standing below, could clearly see that the empress tore a rose-red hand clap embroidered with a magpie climbing a branch into two pieces.

——Are you angry now?

Wang Xiluan's heart sank, and it turned out that the so-called dignified and wise Queen Liangliang was nothing more than that.This makes me angry, and my belly doesn't necessarily seem so big.Maybe it is true, as recorded in the unofficial history, that the empress, whose posthumous title is Xiao Jingxian, is secretly controlling the heirs of Lord Yongzheng.And the reason why Hongli's apprentice was born was just because Li was in the limelight at that time. In order to suppress Li, he had to choose a pawn who was dull in appearance and honest and unpleasant, but who ever Thinking that this chess piece is so blessed that it can conceive and give birth to a child smoothly.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiluan suddenly heard the fate of Concubine Xi - Skylark. The world laughs at the skylark's ambition, but they don't know that the skylark is actually a kind of mysterious bird. It has been called the Son of Heaven since ancient times.Calling the Son of Heaven, didn't Concubine Xi call the future Emperor into her arms, so that the future Emperor would remember it in her heart.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiluan showed a smile, only to hear Lord Yongzheng speak suddenly. "Such a face, such a talent is a good match."

Concubine Yu is on the sidelines. "Your Majesty is right."

The words of the two directly shut up the queen, who was about to pick some thorns, and then agreed. "This face is truly heavenly and beautiful." But there was no mention of talent.Compared with Ulanarabu Yechuk's repeated praises when he was elected, the difference between before and after is so great that Yongzheng once again looked sideways at him.
