Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

The next morning, Qing Zhi, who had been on guard for the first half of the night, and Su Rong, who had been on guard for the second half of the night, met in front of Zhang Xueming's door. Both of them had blue under their eyes, revealing lack of sleep.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then cheered up and knocked on Zhang Xueming's door.

After a simple wash, Zhang Xueming changed into a white close-fitting thin silk wet suit provided by the female guest house and sent by Qingzhi, wrapped himself in a sable fur cloak, let his hair down, and went downstairs with two maids.

The time for the bride selection was approaching, and the six brides-to-be gathered in the lobby of the women's courtyard.

The door of the lobby closed and the maids lined up outside, waiting quietly.

Jiang Lili and Song Mingyue did not come. They had been informed that they would be secretly sent home after the matchmaking was over. Madam Fu had personally informed them of the reasons for their failure to be selected, and no third person was allowed to sit in on the discussion, in order to save their reputation.

Fortunately, Jiang Lili and Song Mingyue achieved their purpose of coming to the palace gate, and they readily accepted the palace gate's decision. Especially Song Mingyue, she wished she could grow wings and fly back home immediately, so that her family, who had always treated her as a fragile object, could see how healthy she was now. She didn't want to stay in such a lifeless place at all.

Although there were six brides to be chosen standing in the lobby, there were actually only two brides available. One was Lin Zhenzhen, a young lady from the Lin family in Qingyuan City whose family had fallen on hard times, and the other was Liu Wenxi, a young lady from the Liu family who came from a middle-class merchant family in Pingxi City.

It was just that the elders thought it was too ugly for three people to stand at the marriage selection site, so Zhang Xueming still decided to give the position to Gong Yuanzheng, who had not yet come of age. They could only let the three girls who were destined to be eliminated because they carried too many contraband items to make up the number.

There are few brides to be chosen this time, and not many young men from the palace who want to choose their marriage partners.

The former young master Gong Huanyu was imprisoned in the Moon Palace in the back mountain and could not choose. The new sword-wielding Gong Shangjiao abstained this time, and the elders could not persuade him, nor could they force him. Therefore, the only one who had to choose a marriage this time was Gong Ziyu, the second daughter of the Yu Palace.

In the lobby, incense was burning on the platform and the air was filled with smoke.

The maids and old maids were fine. Aunt Fu had the foresight to ask Qing Zhi to ask Zhang Xueming to arrive earlier, so that those who helped in the inspection today would first face a wave of direct impact from the ultimate beauty. Now they would not be dazed and become wooden stakes in front of Zhang Xueming, or throw things in a panic.

The five brides-to-be were in a miserable state. Madam Fu clapped her hands six times, and a maid whispered a reminder, and then they followed Zhang Xueming out in a trance, split into two rows, and knelt on both sides of the hall.

In view of the incident of Chinese medicine in the secret passage, except for the assassin without a front, the brides-to-be turned a disaster into a blessing, with their foundation improved, bodies strengthened, and skin improved. The unique part of the palace marriage selection process of taking tonics was cancelled.

The head maid led a group of elderly maids in and invited the brides to enter the space separated by a screen behind them. Two old maids were responsible for one of them.

The palace maids looked serious, but they didn't dare to grab anyone. They just asked kindly:

"Girl, please smile...Okay, please open your mouth, open it wider, I need to see if you have any cavities."

"Girl, please open your arms and turn around slowly...Okay, please walk fifty steps around here."

"Girl, I need to measure your height, hair length, chest circumference, waist circumference, and leg circumference... Please stand here and don't move, with your arms open. Don't worry, I will try my best not to touch your body."

"girl……"

"girl……"

In order to get the twenty taels of silver promised by the new swordsman as a reward for no complaints, the old maids in charge of issuing instructions and measurements smiled kindly and spoke respectfully. The brides-to-be were happy to cooperate and did not make things difficult for each other.

The maids in charge of recording kept recording the results of various tests in their notebooks while staring at their colleagues waiting for criticism. Xin Zhiren said that there was a reward for reporting, and the reporter would get as much as the other party's fine was deducted. Such a good thing only happens once in many years, it would be a pity to miss it.

Without those humiliating projects that treated people like animals for inspection, the atmosphere on site was extremely harmonious.

As the behind-the-scenes hero who made this harmony possible, Zhang Xueming completed the inspection in a good mood.

After the maids left, all the brides-to-be returned to their respective small tables, knelt down, picked up their plain white veils and put them on.

The five bride candidates who couldn't help but peek at Zhang Xueming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Facing that face for a long time would really make your legs weak.

Afterwards, a group of doctors from the clinic came in with their heads lowered, carrying medicine boxes.

The brides-to-be stretched out their wrists, and the doctors began to take their pulses and make assessments based on each person's pulse.

A deep but penetrating bell sound came from somewhere, indicating that the time for the marriage selection ceremony was approaching.

After the examination, the doctors left. After a while, the maids came back with trays and placed them in front of each bride-to-be, covered with a red cloth.

Zhang Xueming made a "please" gesture to the maid who brought the tray, and the maid blushed and lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing the expected gold medal.

"Congratulations," the maid whispered sincerely.

Zhang Xueming picked up the gold medal and pinched it with his fingernails calmly: "Thank you." It was not solid, nor pure gold, which was unlucky.

At first, the five brides-to-be were only happy to see the gold medals in front of them. But when they found out that everyone had won a gold medal, they all became alert at the same time, and put on seemingly sincere smiles on their faces. They chatted and congratulated each other.

They were very grateful to Gong Yuanzheng for using the "Palace Secret Medicine" to adjust their physical condition to an excellent level. After waking up, they felt that they had gotten a great deal, but they were unable to thank the Palace Master of Zheng Palace in person. Now that they all knew that Zhang Xueming would be the future Lady of Zheng Palace, they took this opportunity to congratulate Zhang Xueming in turn and begged her to help convey their gratitude to Gong Yuanzheng.

Zhang Xueming nodded in agreement.

Before going to the Zhiren Hall, the bride candidates had to go back to their rooms and change into a lavender jacket and skirt with pink and white honeysuckle pattern embroidered on the front, which was sent by the female guest house.

The pair of honeysuckle symbolizes lovers in pairs, which is quite appropriate. It can be simple and beautiful without elaborate embroidery. The lavender color also makes the skin look whiter, making people look gentle and quiet, not exaggerated or impetuous, and especially elegant.

After Zhang Xueming had dressed up, she arrived at the door of the women's guest quarters and was surprised to find that the navy blue sedan chair she had ridden in yesterday and five other green cloth sedan chairs of the same shape were already waiting there. The bride-to-be no longer had to walk for more than half an hour to the Blade Hall.

Zhang Xueming was once again amazed by Gong Shangjiao's initiative and efficiency. Although this honeycomb coal spirit was addicted to suspicion and liked to scheme against others, and was a bit chauvinistic, he really listened to opinions and was really considerate!

Ren Qingzhi put the sable fur cloak on her again, and she got into the warm sedan chair with indigo curtains embroidered with silver patterns on all sides.

At this moment, Zhang Xueming had only one question: from the time she made her "opinion" to now, it had only been one day, and there was also the sudden incident of Lao Zhiren falling ill, and Gong Shangjiao had just taken care of the wedding dress and the inspection. Later, she said she didn't want to walk anymore, and it was already noon. How did Gong Shangjiao's men get so many identical sedan chairs in half a day? Are his men, such as Jin Fu, okay?

(Jin Fu: You worry too much. The ones who are in trouble are my subordinates, hehe ︿(￣︶￣)︿)

……

The deep sound of the bell echoed in the valley.

In the main hall of the Zhiren Palace, Gong Shangjiao sat high on the throne.

At the bottom of the steps, there are three small floor screens on the left. In front of the screens is a rectangular brown felt carpet, which is slightly shorter than the screen. On the carpet is a low table and dark brown cushions. The three elders sit in order.

Only Gong Yuanzheng was standing on the right.
