Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

The words were directed to Shen Meizhuang, but it was Zhen Huan next to her who froze in smile, because she was the one in the lower five banners that her aunt mentioned.

But Zhen Huan has always regarded herself as the eldest daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing. Under her humble and smooth appearance, she is arrogant and even disdains to be a palace concubine. She only wants to marry the best man in the world.

But even so, she didn't want to be looked down upon. Although she was wearing plain, inconspicuous clothes, the material and jewelry were all of the best quality.

Shen Meizhuang was still somewhat reluctant when she heard this. She and the Shen family had been preparing for this selection for a long time, aiming to be chosen as a palace concubine. In the future, she would be favored and could help her brothers at home.

The outfit she was wearing today was carefully prepared by her mother, and it could show off her beauty and temperament to the greatest extent. If everyone wore the same thing, it would be disadvantageous to her.

Just as she was about to ask her aunt for leniency, Zhen Huan beat her to it.

"Since it is the palace rule, we cannot act differently." Zhen Huan was also dissatisfied in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

Gently took Shen Meizhuang's hand and said, "Sister Mei, let's go change now."

Shen Meizhuang turned her head and looked at Zhen Huan in confusion. Seeing that she was still smiling innocently like a child, she could only nod helplessly and dotingly: "Okay."

The moment she separated from Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan stopped smiling and became unhappy.

The palace maid took off her moon-white Manchu dress with blue edges, removed her hairpins and rings, and changed into a palace dress of standard style and very tacky color.

My mind was still thinking about lowering the five flags.

The Qing Dynasty has always been Manchu-Mongol before Han. Her origin as one of the Five Banners under the Han Army is really not impressive enough, and Zhen Huan is not convinced by this.

She was very smart since she was young. Not only was she proficient in all the skills that girls should learn, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was also well-versed in history books and poems. Among the ladies she knew, she was always known as the "female Zhuge Liang".

She secretly made up her mind that if she didn't enter the palace, it would be fine, but if she did, she would make that aunt regret what she did today.

After changing her clothes, Zhen Huan followed Shen Meizhuang step by step to the door of the hall.

The emperor was already very tired after selecting everything. Everyone was dressed the same and seemed to look similar.

He originally wanted to send the concubine away casually, but when he heard the name of Jeju assistant commander Shen Zishan, he looked at Shen Meizhuang for a second time.

Shen Meizhuang: "Your servant Shen Meizhuang pays respect to His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Empress."

His speech was slow and gentle, and he seemed steady and dignified.

The emperor became interested and asked a few more questions: "Have you ever read any books?"

Shen Meizhuang followed her mother's instructions and lied that she could not read a few words and had only read two books on rules and precepts for women.

To the great disappointment of the Emperor, Wang Ruofu was somewhat interested and intended to give Honghui a concubine, but she didn't want the Emperor to have no fish or shrimp, so she leaned back a little and said, "Leave the name card."

"..." Wang Ruofu choked, looked at the emperor with dissatisfaction, and cursed the old man inwardly.

Seeing the emperor's bored expression, she became even angrier, thinking that he is already so old, yet he has the nerve to look down on a girl who is not even 20 years old, and isn't he ashamed?

The emperor noticed Wang Ruofu's displeasure and smiled, thinking that the queen still cares about him!

The empress dowager rolled her eyes as she watched the interaction between the two. This generation of emperor and empress was really going backwards. She really had to rely on her old Fourteenth Prince and Honghui.

"The daughter of the Dali Temple's Junior Official, Zhen Huan, seventeen years old."

The eunuch who was calling out the name of Zhen Huan, who was only a few steps away, read it out in a sharp voice. After waiting for a while, he found that not only the three masters at the table did not pay attention, but even the concubines did not react.

He was so angry that he shouted at the top of his voice for the second time: "The daughter of the Dali Temple's Junior Official! Zhen Huan! Seventeen years old!!"

quack--

The crows perched on the roof were startled and scattered, dropping a few black feathers onto the ground.

Wang Ruofu and the Emperor were startled by the sudden shout, and the Empress Dowager was so frightened that her heartbeat quickened and she felt dizzy.

"Empress Dowager?" Wang Ruofu helped the Empress Dowager calm down and scolded the people below, "Why are you yelling? You are not deaf, how can you not hear you?"

The eunuch who called out the names of the slaves immediately knelt down and confessed his crime: "I deserve to die. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

He glanced at Zhen Huan and explained, "Your Majesty, when I read it the first time, this concubine didn't respond. I thought she didn't hear it, so I spoke louder."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan knew something was wrong and she knelt down with a grim look on her face. Her thoughts turned out to be a backfire.

So she didn't dare to play any tricks anymore and said, "Your servant Zhen Huan, I pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress, and to the Empress Dowager."

She wanted to explain that she was distracted and didn't hear because she was too happy to see her good sister was selected, but she thought that she couldn't say this in public. Who was selected and who was not selected was not something she, the daughter of a fourth-rank official, could say.

She rolled her eyes with her eyelids slightly lowered, and said in a clear voice: "This is my first time entering the palace. I was shocked by the majesty of the royal family and panicked for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
