Poor Family

Imperial Palace, Xihua Gate.

Carriages dedicated to show girls were lined up neatly, and a group of colorful and youthful show girls gathered together, adding a different kind of vitality to the majestic and majestic Miyagi.

Shi Fuyue and Shi Fuyin didn't dare to wander around, they stood in front of the carriage of the uncle's mansion, watching the beautiful girls around them, while waiting for the palace people to lead them into the palace.

Looking at the beautiful girls with extraordinary looks and different styles, Shi Fuyue crumpled the brocade handkerchief in her hand a little awkwardly.

She came to participate in the draft, naturally she wanted to be selected.

But she is also aware of her own situation. In terms of her family background, the uncle's mansion cannot provide good help, and she herself does not have an overpowering appearance.

Seeing all the beautiful women in front of her, no matter their family background or appearance, she felt tremendous pressure all at once.

Shi Fuyin on the side was much calmer. She didn't want to be selected, so she naturally wouldn't regard other show girls as competition objects. Without competition, there was naturally no pressure.

However, Shi Fuyin's expression was not so relaxed. She didn't want to be selected, but she had to guard against being selected.

She didn't want her future life to be trapped in a cage. Whether it was entering the palace or the prince's mansion, it was not what she wanted.

"Fuyin."

Just when the two sisters were thinking about things in opposite directions, Xiahou Huanyan came over.

"Happy face."

"Miss Xiahou."

When the three met Li, Xiahou Huanyan wrinkled her nose, frowned and looked at Shi Fuyin: "What's the smell on you?"

Shi Fuyin froze: "I have body odor."

Xiahou Huanyan couldn't put it into words: "."

At this moment, a delicate voice sounded.

"Sister Fuyue, sister Fuyin."

Zeng Ruoyun, who was charming and beautiful, came slowly, and when he got close, he warmly greeted Xiahou Huanyan: "Miss Xiahou."

Out of politeness, Xiahou Huanyan nodded slightly.

Some time ago, there were rumors about Fuyin and Luo Yuanqing, and the instigators were the Zeng family.

During the Yongdingmen riot, Shi Fuyin protected her all the way. She already liked Shi Fuyin's sassy temperament different from that of a boudoir girl, and after going through such a thing, she had already regarded Shi Fuyin as a friend.

Now facing the Zeng family who hurt Fuyin out of date, they naturally wouldn't show any good looks.

Zeng Ruoyun saw that Shi Fuyin and Xiahou Huanyan were indifferent to him, and he was not angry, and talked to Shi Fuyue with a smile.

Shi Fuyue was already a little nervous, but now that someone is chatting with her, it can relieve her stress, so she is very happy to talk to Zeng Ruoyun.

Xiahou Huanyan saw her, and when she pulled Fuyin away from the two of them, she said in a low voice, "What's the matter with the smell on your body?" Before she could answer, Fuyin said again, "You should be ruthless. You've ruined your reputation."

"The talent show has always attracted people's attention. Do you know that once your problem spreads, no good people will dare to come to your house to propose marriage in the future."

Shi Fuyin smiled: "Isn't it wrong? Come on, you know my situation. Even if I try my best, there are still great shortcomings and flaws in many aspects. I never thought of marrying into a noble family." , So, even if outsiders know that I have a disease, it doesn’t matter what.”

Said, looking at Xiahou Huanyan, "I'm just in case, you are different, the chance of being selected is too high, do you have an idea?"

Xiahou smiled happily, and said in a low voice: "The old ancestor has seen the emperor in the palace, let me relax before going out today, I just entered the palace for a formality."

Shi Fuyin also laughed: "That's good."

While speaking, someone from the palace came out. Two serious-looking nuns led a group of court ladies out. Then they opened the roster and began to read their names.

After the name was finished, all the show girls entered the palace with the nuns and maids.

The first step in the draft is the preliminary selection by the nuns of the inner court, who are excluded from the show with blemishes, physical illnesses, and substandard postures.

This step is the easiest to fail.

When Shi Fuyin stood among the beautiful girls, watching a row of beautiful girls being brought into the inner room by the nuns for inspection, she couldn't help moving her armpits, always preparing to be found to have body odor.

However, the nuns had only finished inspecting a dozen or so beautiful girls, and the female officer next to the queen came.

"Your Majesty has an order to announce Dongfang Yunrong, Xiahou Huanyan, Luo Wanqing, Wang Antong Shi Fuyin, and see you at Kunning Palace."

When she heard her name, Shi Fuyin didn't feel any joy, she followed the female officer and the named Xiunv to Kunning Palace with a heavy heart.

Seeing Shi Fuyin leave, both Zeng Ruoyun and Shi Fuyue showed envy.

"They are all girls from the uncle's residence, why did the empress only call me sister Fuyin and not you?" Zeng Ruoyun asked Shi Fuyue in a low voice.

Shi Fuyue lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Zeng Ruoyun continued: "I really envy Sister Fuyin. She was called away by the empress, even if she was registered, she just needs to wait for the final selection to see whether she will be retained by the emperor or pointed out to the princes."

Hearing this, Shi Fuyue couldn't help but tighten her crossed hands on her abdomen, but she still didn't respond to Zeng Ruoyun.

On the other side, Shi Fuyin followed the crowd to the Kunning Palace with a solemn expression. It happened that it was the time for the concubines in the harem to pay their respects to the queen, so they could only stand outside and wait.

In the palace, even people like Xiahou Huanyan and Dongfang Yunrong, who were born in the Duke's Mansion, were very well behaved, they didn't dare to say a word, and they didn't dare to look around.

After standing for half an hour, the queen let them enter the palace.

Next, Shi Fuyin and others were scrutinized and questioned by all the concubines in the harem.

At this moment, even Xiahou Huanyan and Shi Fuyin, who did not want to be selected, had to deal with it carefully for the sake of the family's face. They now represented not only themselves, but also the entire family.

After all the show girls who were called over were questioned, the queen directly asked the female officer to send them to Chuxiu Palace.

When a show girl enters Chuxiu Palace, it is equivalent to being retained by name.

Watching Shi Fuyin and others leave, Empress Wei looked around at the concubines with a smile, and sighed: "This year's show girls are really outstanding, whether it is talent, learning or appearance, they are all top choices. .”

"We have to keep our eyes open and watch carefully, and try to choose a few more pleasing concubines for the emperor."

"Of course, this time the fifth prince, sixth prince, and seventh prince all have to choose their concubine. You who are concubine mothers should also help look at it."

"This is the emperor's first draft after he ascended the throne. You and my sister must complete this beautifully."

At the gate of the palace, the carriage of the uncle's mansion was waiting early.

As long as Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuyue have not passed the first round of the draft, they will be able to take them back home today.

It's a pity, I waited and waited until Shi Dingxuan was on a business trip, but Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuyue didn't come out.

"There's no need to wait, the second and third younger sisters have been left behind."

After the Shi family heard the news, some people were really happy and some were worried.

Shi Dinghao was dumbfounded: "Sanjie has such a strong body odor, can this be left behind?"

Shi Dingxuan explained: "Sister Yin didn't participate in the selection at all, and was directly met by the queen general, and then sent to Chuxiu Palace."

Shi Fuxin was fairly calm, and she had expected this result.

What is really unacceptable is Jin Yuee and Shi Zhenghe.

Shi Fuxin stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Father, mother, just because sister is left in Chuxiu Palace doesn't mean she will definitely be selected."

The two were not comforted, and both looked solemn.

Compared with the worries of Shi Zhenghe's family, Shi Zhengkun's family on Baishun Street was much happier.

"Cousin Ruoyun has been registered. With her appearance, the emperor will definitely take a fancy to her. By then, we will be relatives of the emperor."
