Spring Drunk Chang'an

Has her family taken care of her?

Who is it?

Her father? Or Princess Nanweng?

"That's impossible. When I left home this morning, my stepmother told me to go back early because someone from the Shouning Marquis's residence would come to see me in the afternoon. They said they were nannies sent by the Marquis' wife, and asked me to behave myself and not act naughty..."

"How can you possibly take care of it for me?"

Shi Xiaoyue was very confused.

Liu Changan and Song Zhinian exchanged glances, both confused. Only Xiong Zhen, standing silently by, understood.

It must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took action.

The master said that he would let his daughter live quietly in the palace for two months. During this period, he would get rid of the eleventh son of the Shouning Earl's Mansion and ruin the marriage.

The girl is in the palace, so she won't be affected by these messy things...

very good!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a man of his words!

The corners of Xiong Zhen's mouth curled up, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly to the girls' discussion.

No fruit.

Finally, it was Song Zhinian who said, "Perhaps His Majesty or the Empresses think that the Duke of Qi is also loyal and a pillar of the country, so they want to give him some respect!"

No matter how serious the birthmark on Shi Xiaoyue's face was, everyone knew that she would never be selected. However, she was eliminated in the preliminary round and could not even participate in the second round. For a girl from the Duke's Mansion, it was indeed embarrassing.

"Is this a grace for my father?" Shi Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought, if it is really a grace, wouldn't it be better to just grant her exemption from the selection?

Otherwise she would be laughed at with her ugly face!

But he is the emperor, and all the thunder, lightning, rain and dew are his grace. She is just a little girl and cannot understand the emperor's grace.

"Maybe!"

Shi Xiaoyue shrugged, his attitude still relaxed. "I passed the first round, so I can't pass the second round either. It doesn't matter."

"In a few days, I can come with you again, otherwise we won't see each other for several months after you pass the three selections and move into the palace."

“It’s good to get together more often!”

"That's right, if you pass it, you won't be able to compete with the strong one."

Liu Changan and Song Zhinian responded with a smile.

At that time, the palace gate was still crowded with people, and beauties were coming in and out. The three of them didn't want to squeeze in the crowd, so they chatted for a few words and then dispersed.

***, there are more than 3,000 beauties from other provinces and the capital. Although there are many female officials in the palace, it is indeed very tedious to check them one by one.

It took me twelve days to choose.

There were more than 3,000 people, but only a little over 800 were left.

The elimination rate is quite high!

There were many beauties from other provinces who came from distant border areas after a long journey through mountains and rivers, but they were eliminated in one round. Unable to withstand such a blow, they fainted or fell ill in the post station.

There were also beauties in Beijing who cried every day after failing the selection.

The atmosphere in the city is very bad.

Liu Changan and Song Zhinian did not go out either. They stayed at home and waited for news.

In the blink of an eye, the second round of selection began. This time it was more rigorous, and there was also a procedure to check innocence that made the concubines terrified.

It is said that the concubines were asked to enter a small dark room alone, take off all their clothes, and then the nanny Jingqi would examine them with her hands.

Not to mention an unmarried girl, even a woman who has been married for many years can’t stand this!

It is said that none of those who had been examined did not feel deeply humiliated, and those who had heard the wild rumors were afraid of it like a tiger.

Liu Changan also felt very embarrassed and uncomfortable, but she and Song Zhinian were still the first group to enter the palace, following the same ranking as in the preliminary selection!

Bear the brunt!

But to her surprise, this second choice was completely different from what she had imagined, although it was a little embarrassing - Jingqi Ma Ma wanted to check if the concubine had any scars or any particularly smelly parts, so she needed the concubine to wear light clothing.

But there is no complete process.

When Aunt Jingqi was examining them, she did not look stern or cold. Instead, she smiled and chatted with them while examining them.

Even when checking their innocence, they were only allowed to take two steps.

That's it?

Liu Changan was very surprised.

I feel like the rumors aren't very reliable...

"Sister Chang'an, family background, family background!! We are different from ordinary people. Can you imagine which maid in the palace would dare to strip Miss Li naked, make her lie on the bed, and test her innocence?"

"Why don't you give Miss Li a big slap and cut off half of her teeth?"

Song Zhinian spread her hands and lightly brushed off the non-existent dust on her clothes. She said, "Sister Chang'an, although we are not like Miss Li, who has lived in the palace since childhood and grew up at the lap of the Emperor, but if anyone in this palace dares to ask you that."

"No matter who she is? Who's behind her? Don't worry, just slap her. Auntie will take care of it for us."

Queen Song did not take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, but she was still the queen!

The mother of a country.

Even though Concubine Qu was so favored, she had to bend her knees in front of her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Chang'an, we have someone above us!"

Song Zhinian was calm and composed.

Liu Changan: ...

This evil group of privileged people!!

-

The second selection was successfully completed. Liu Changan didn't know how the other beauties were selected, but she was chosen very easily and happily.

She passed the test successfully.

Song Zhinian also passed!

Shi Xiaoyue...

“I passed again!!”

When the three of them gathered at the palace gate again, Shi Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with deep confusion.

"How could I possibly pass again? Is His Majesty giving my father this much face?"

"How can my family...have such a big face in front of His Majesty?"

I can’t believe it!

Her father is not a royalist, he is just a fence-sitter. Why does the Emperor love her so much?

"Didn't you ask your father?"

Liu Changan also frowned slightly, feeling uneasy and thinking something was wrong.

Shi Xiaoyue bit her lip and said, "I asked, but my father doesn't know either!"

"Didn't the Duke of Qi go to see His Majesty?"

Song Zhinian said softly.

I don’t know. How about going into the palace to check?

Shi Xiaoyue: "......"

She looked helpless, "Sister Chinen, what are you dreaming of? How could my father enter the palace for me? With his personality..."

He is a very selfish person. No, he will not blink an eye when seeing the death of someone who has great interests to him, even if it is his own child.

Chunchun is cold-blooded and heartless, with no humanity at all.

But as a daughter, she certainly couldn't say that. Shi Xiaoyue paused and embellished it, "...I'm also loyal to His Majesty. His Majesty didn't say that he would let me go through two rounds of selection, or he would directly choose me to enter the palace..."

"Well, with my looks, it's not possible!"

"Your Majesty, even if you just assign me to a random person and grant me a marriage, my father won't object. He will just be grateful and kowtow to the palace to thank you for your grace!"

"He won't stand up for me!"

Shi Xiaoyue also understood it very clearly.

Song Zhinian couldn't help but grin. She grew up in an environment where everyone from her grandparents to her brothers and sisters loved each other and were willing to give everything for each other...
