The next day, the palace sent painters to paint portraits for the ladies.
Their portraits were first presented to the emperor for him to see.
Those women that the emperor doesn't like will be wiped out in the first round.
Their fate is either to go home or to marry other princes.
When she heard that she was going to paint a picture for the painter, Mu Xueying was uneasy.
She worried that Han xian'er would use her relationship to bribe the painter to make him ugly.
How lazy the emperor is! I don't even want to see the beauty pageant myself!
Gao Shiduo proposed to buy the painter in case of accident.
Mu Xueying agreed to this method, and let Gao Shiduo sell all the things she could sell. She changed them into silver and waited for the painter to come.
In fact, she didn't have to do this at all, because Han Xianer didn't listen to Zhao Gonggong's words and let the painter uglify Mu Xueying.
Duke Zhao didn't understand why he didn't take the opportunity to revenge.
Han xian'er said maliciously: "I just want her to enter the palace, and then let her regret entering the palace!"
When the painter painted Mu Xueying, Gao Shiduo gave the painter money.
The painter took it and gave it back to Mu Xueying after painting.
Mu Xueying is very satisfied with it and thanks the painter.
The next day, a eunuch came to the palace to announce the results of the primary election.
In the end, only 22 of the more than 100 beautiful girls could enter the palace to accept the next examination.
Among them, Mu Xueying and he Yu got the chance.
He Yu is very happy, but mu Xueying is worried. Because she saw Han xian'er's meaningful eyes.
The palace of Dayuan did not surprise Mu Xueying.
Because compared with Xia Xiaoran's other palaces in the world, the palace is not big enough, not magnificent enough, and not grand enough.
The only place that can compare with other palaces in the world is the special rules.
It's as thick as a Xinhua dictionary.
Learning the rules of the palace is one of the tasks of every pretty girl after entering the palace.
In addition to learning these rules, the girls also need to exercise their physique, manners and so on.
Step by step, eating, drinking tea and other small things are extremely fastidious, the requirements are more strict than the stewardess do not know several times.
In recent days, Mu Xueying is about to collapse.
No matter what she does, she is very serious and meticulous.
She recites thousands of palace rules, and her body is more difficult.
Life in the rookie palace is generally good, just tired.
The worst part is that the two sisters are excluded by other girls.
It's natural to be excluded, because among the selected girls, except for the two of them, the others are all those who cling to Han xian'er.
In addition to the exclusion of xiunv, there are also some palace maids and eunuchs who deliberately create difficulties.
They don't make things obvious, just small moves.
For example, your seat is not cleaned, and your clothes are not clean enough.
Although Gao Shiduo has stepped up the inspection, there is no guarantee that Mu Xueying will not be wearing shoes.
What's more, costal himself is hard to protect.
Not long ago, he was asked by the eunuch to kneel for an hour, which made him almost forget how to walk.
Mu Xueying is furious after learning about this, and wants to find the eunuch theory, but Gao Shiduo dissuades her.
"As long as the little Lord can get the favor of the emperor and stand out, it is the best revenge for them." Said costal.
Mu Xueying made up her mind to do the best no matter how hard she was.
So, unconsciously, Mu Xueying and he Yu made great progress in all aspects, and they were praised by their aunt in charge on many occasions.
This makes Han xian'er very unhappy.
Someone gave her an idea - a dissension plan.
Han xian'er thought it was a good way, so he Yu was sent to him.
"I don't know what elder sister wants from He Yu." He Yu asked.
Han Xianer "for nothing else, just want you to leave Mu Xueying. If you come to me, I promise you won't be bullied again in the palace. "
He Yu laughed and said, "thank you for your kindness. If there is nothing else, he Yu will leave."
"Think about it."
He Yu did not answer, nodded back.
Han xian'er was so angry that she broke down the flowers
After half a month's training, it's time for you to accept it.
Yongxiang palace.
Liu Shuang, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, sat in the hall with his Empress, concubines and other concubines. The hall chose beautiful girls.
In principle, the draft is a good thing for the emperor. Some emperors are eager to be selected once a month.
But on Liu Shuang's face, there are three big words: "not happy".
He's not really interested in the draft. The reason why there is a draft is that the Empress Dowager forced it. Liu Shuang is 24 years old, but the queen mother is in a hurry. That is not enough concubines in the harem, so forced Liu Shuang draft. Liu Shuang is not a very dignified emperor. He is beautiful and friendly. I like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I am proficient in everything. Most of the time, he doesn't feel like a mighty emperor, but like a free scholar. He is also willing to be a free scholar. In many of his poems and paintings, he yearns for the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Ordinary people can choose their own life, but they are not ordinary people. The most important reason for Liu Shuang's reluctance to draft is that he loves the queen. The queen, Li, is five years older than Liu Shuang. Born as a palace maid, she grew up with Liu Shuang when she was a child. However, Queen Li suffered from an incurable disease and will soon die. She hopes to find a concubine who can guide Liu Shuang to be a good emperor before she dies. Therefore, this draft is under the double pressure of Empress Dowager and queen Li, Liu Shuang has no choice but to agree. Empress Li also knows that Liu Shuang is not willing to draft, so she has an idea. That is to let all the masters put on masks and dance in front of the emperor. They can choose to dance together or alone. If you dance well, you will surely attract the emperor's attention. Then the emperor would like to know what they looked like, so that he could arrange for the little Lord to serve them first. It was a rare opportunity for the 22 little masters. Everyone wants to show his best in front of the emperor. When the masks were handed out to them, some people wondered: doesn't the emperor look at them? Aunt Jiao Xi said that the emperor's choice of concubines is based on morality, physique and appearance. Han xian'er has a lot of peace of mind, because among all the little masters, Mu Xueying is the most beautiful. But in dancing, Mu Xueying's skill is mediocre. So wearing a mask is the best way for Han xian'er to dance. There are not many people performing solo. Because the cooperation of many people can cover up some flaws. But solo is not enough, everyone's eyes will pay attention to you, it's really a little negligence. Mu Xueying wants to dance alone. After Han xian'er finished her performance, her dancing style was recognized by everyone here, including Liu Shuang. The former eunuch wrote down Han xian'er's name. This list was submitted to Liu Shuang at last. He Yu's solo dance was also recognized, and she was also named. Finally, it's Mu Xueying's turn.
