When Shen Ling walked into the yard of her elder brother Yang Chengzong, she happened to see her sister-in-law Yu coming out of the upper room. The relationship between the Yu family and Yang Liyan was not very good, so Shen Ling didn't stay too much. After reading the big brother, he sent the things out and left.

The yard where the two brothers of the Yang family lived was side by side. Shen Ling walked a few steps westward from this door, and reached the door of the yard of his second brother Yang Chengsi.

After the lady in the yard eagerly opened the door for her, she saw her second brother Yang Chengsi busy in the flowerbed in the yard, taking care of the few flowers in front of her, even Shen Ling didn't even notice when she walked up to her.

If Yang Chengzong is the kind of dude, then Yang Chengsi is a typical plaything and dejected. He is very interested in flower art, bonsai, antiques, strange stones, decorations in the house, and rouge gouache used by women, and put a lot of energy into them.

Yang Shichang hit and scolded, but he didn't get any results at all. He simply ignored him and let him go on such a foolish act.

Fortunately, he married a like-minded wife. The husband and wife grow flowers and make bonsai together.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Shen Ling watched his second brother Yang Chengsi concentrating, and suddenly understood why it was so good that Yang Liyan wanted the original Yang Liyan to enter the palace.

None of the two elder brothers above were successful, and they couldn't afford to be the leader of the Yang family. If Yang Liyan doesn't enter the palace again, I'm afraid the Yang family will fall as soon as Yang Shichang leaves. This is the empress dowager and Yang Shichang the most can't let go, so both of them have high hopes on Yang Liyan. Because that is their last hope.

With this consideration in mind, Shen Ling couldn't help paying more attention to the draft.

In her expectation, the day is getting closer to September, and the draft kicks off in Beijing.

Because this is the first draft for Emperor Qianhua to become the emperor, the scope is particularly wide, and people with innocent characters from all over the country can participate.

After the girls who came from other places to participate in the election arrived at the capital, they met with the girls in the capital, and then the first round of selection began.

The first round of selection will eliminate some women with obvious defects in appearance, such as taller, shorter, fatter, and thinner women will be eliminated.

Shen Ling stood with more than a dozen daughters from powerful families. The clothes and jewellery on their heads looked unusual. Those who came to inspect the internal monitors were all respectful and respectful. There were more than a dozen of them. Passed this level very quickly.

After passing this pass, each of them received a wishful thinking knot. With this token, they can participate in the second round of screening on the next day.

Because Shen Ling was at the front of the team, after passing this level, it was still early and he could go back to Yang Mansion for lunch. However, the girls from the civilian house in the back are in a bit miserable situation. They have to stand there waiting for the inner supervisor to come and inspect.

The next day, Shen Ling stepped on the time, still in the forefront of the team, waiting for the second round of screening. On this day, the internal monitors selected more carefully, starting from the five senses, checking the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, back, etc. for irregularities. If there is any irregularity, they will be eliminated. , You have to listen to the sound when you see the facial features, but the sound is not off. Those with muddy voices, rough voices, or panic-stricken voices will be eliminated.

Yang Liyan's face and voice are the best in a hundred, so this level is also very easy. But the aristocratic girls around are missing a few people, either in their facial features or in their voices.

On the third day, the internal supervisor had another assessment standard, first measuring the women's hands and feet with a ruler, and then letting them walk dozens of steps to eliminate those with shorter wrists, larger toes, or slightly impetuous behavior. After these three days, there were almost only a thousand of the more than 10,000 girls who participated in the election.

There were only three aristocratic girls around Shen Ling, but Shen Ling watched coldly, feeling that although the inner supervisor was very respectful to them, but the screening process was much stricter than the civilian women. I know if I was instructed by Zhou Sheng.

On the fourth day, some of the thousand of them were introduced into the secret room by some old mothers in the palace for more detailed observation and selection, such as exploring their ru, sniffing their armpits, checking their textures, and selecting them again. Three hundred people out.

At this time, the noble girls who came with Shen Ling were all brushed down, leaving Shen Ling alone at the forefront.

Behind her were the daughters of more than a dozen civil servants below Rank 5. This made Shen Ling even more guessing that all of this should come from Zhou Sheng's instruction.

With her great effort, several female officials in the palace came to the three hundred of them, and read out the Queen Mother’s decree, which probably means that the three hundred of them will live in the palace for a month. In this month, There will be court ladies to teach them some court etiquette.

Because if nothing happens, all three hundred of them will stay in the palace from now on. As for whether to become concubines or maids, it depends on their performance this month.

After the female officials read the decree, the three hundred of them were divided into groups of five by the maids. Only because of Shen Ling's special status and status, they were arranged in a Xiangyang room in advance.

The room is slightly narrower than the room where the other five girls huddled together, but it is more spacious if they live alone.

Shen Ling also found that there were a few orchids blooming in the room. They were a variety she had never seen before. These blooming orchids exuded a faint fragrance, and because their flowers were so beautiful, they suddenly It makes the whole room look very elegant.

After seeing it, Shen Ling felt very satisfied, and immediately rewarded a purse to the court lady who led the way.

At noon, Shen Ling lay on the bed and rested for a while after eating the lunch delivered by the palace maid. In the afternoon, these show ladies have to follow the court ladies to learn the rules. Although she has a special status, she can't be special when she learns etiquette.

Shen Ling originally planned to take a nap, but she slept for half an hour while lying down. Perhaps she had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Shen Ling didn't take it to heart. She hadn't had time to transform this body just after wearing it, so it's normal to have a headache and brain fever.

Only in the afternoon, when Shen Ling was studying etiquette with the maid, she felt a little sick in her stomach. She couldn't help but feel a sudden shock, wouldn't she be poisoned?

After finally getting dark, Shen Ling returned to the room, the first thing was to take off the red agate bracelet in his hand and place it under the lamp for a closer look.

Ever since Zhou Sheng gave her this bracelet, she has always had a guess that Zhou Sheng has made tricks on it. However, nothing went wrong afterwards, and she slowly let go of this conjecture, but she still had some doubts in her heart, so she often wore this bracelet to see what Zhou Sheng was playing.

So when she found out that she had signs of poisoning, she thought of the pair of agate bracelets.

However, Shen Ling placed the agate bracelet under the lamp for a long time and found no problems. She put the bracelet down, began to look at the room layout, and finally couldn't help but focus on the pots of blooming orchids.

After a quarter of an hour, there were no more orchids in the room, and Shen Ling suddenly felt that his dizziness had eased somewhat.

Then after the dizziness improved, she did another experiment and put the orchid back in the room, and put the pair of agate bracelets into the space. This time, she still did not suffer from dizziness.

Shen Ling had a conclusion in his mind. It seemed that the dual effect of the agate bracelet and the orchid made her slightly poisoned.

With this basis, Shen Ling searched through medical techniques and finally found relevant information. That agate bracelet should be a rare kind of purple jade. When paired with this kind of orchid called fragrant jade produced in the Western Regions, it can cause dizziness and vomiting signs of poisoning. Although it is not to the point of killing people, it will make people weak and cause all kinds of discomfort.

When Shen Ling saw this, he understood. It seemed that Zhou Sheng didn't want to enter the palace by himself, or didn't want to be a queen by himself. That's why he used such a trick to prevent himself from participating in the final selection to be held a month later.

In the past, Shen Ling only thought that Zhou Sheng had no affection for Yang Liyan, but now he found that he could not even endure Yang Liyan entering the palace as a queen. Presumably in his heart, he actually wanted to bring him up to the queen mother and Yang. Uproot your home!

Thinking of this, Shen Ling suddenly gave birth to a little worthless for Yang Shichang and the Queen Mother. One of them worked hard to raise Zhou Sheng, the other worked hard to assist him, even if they didn’t think about him wholeheartedly, but in exchange for his treatment, In order to prevent Yang Liyan from entering the palace, she even came up with a stigmatizing technique such as poisoning. It's really worthless.

Thinking of Yang Shichang's repeated rejection of Zhou Sheng's desire to make him a prince for fear of Zhou Sheng's jealousy, he couldn't help but feel deeply worthless. For someone like Zhou Sheng, you just show your loyalty to him, but as long as he sees it as a threat, all your efforts can be ignored.

You must know that in addition to Yang Shichang, the next generation of Yang Chengzong and Yang Chengsi cannot become a climate. It is obvious that Yang Shichang and the queen mother have no such big ambitions at all. They only want to keep the Yang family's wealth for a few generations. After all, they Paid a lot of effort for it.

However, it was unexpected that Zhou Sheng would not even give them such a chance, which made Shen Ling truly angry.

Since the emperor raised and raised by the Queen Mother is so disobedient, it's okay to give birth to an emperor with the Yang family's blood.
