Early the next morning, before dawn, Jiang Fu and Zhang Songying were woken up by the palace maid and asked to wash up quickly and gather at the Chengming Pavilion.

"Auntie, the chicken hasn't risen yet, why are we getting up so early?"

Zhang Songying followed the palace maid with sleepy eyes, moving her head bit by bit, wishing she could fall on Jiang Fu's body.

The palace maid knew her identity, so she naturally did not dare to neglect her and patiently explained:

"It's late, girl. Usually at this time, the concubines in the harem have already gone out to pay homage to the imperial concubine. If you go to pay homage after Yin hour, you will be disrespectful to the master of the harem and will be punished."

Now that the post in the harem is vacant, Concubine Zhang is acting as the agent for harem matters. Although she does not have the title of empress, she actually holds the same position as the deputy concubine. Naturally, she has to accept daily worship from the concubines.

But it's only three o'clock in the morning, and even if the concubines say hello, they don't go out so early!

When the two wandered to the Chengming Pavilion, a few beautiful ladies were already inside. Two nuns holding rulers in their hands were staring at them and not allowing them to sit down and rest.

Seeing two more coming, the two nuns looked at each other, and one of them came forward with a ruler in his hand and said with a fierce expression:

"Since you are here, come here and learn the rules. See if you are standing or not. If you are so disrespectful in front of the emperor and the empress, it will be a serious crime of contempt."

Zhang Songying retorted dissatisfiedly:

"Learn the rules, learn the rules, but why do we have to learn them first? If I had known, it would be better to postpone it until the end, so that we can have more rest."

The grandma's eyes shot up and she yelled angrily:

"You have learned more than others. You are so sharp-tongued and ignorant. It seems that it is useless for me to say it. You still need the ruler in my hand to teach you so that you can remember it!"

As she spoke, grandma raised the ruler in her hand and was about to hit her.

Jiang Fu resisted her hand that was about to fall, pulled Zhang Songying behind her, and smiled obediently at her grandma:

"Mommy, don't be angry. She has been spoiled by her family. We are obedient. Let's go over and learn how to stand."

Seeing her soft attitude, grandma put down the ruler in her hand, stared at them and stood in the line.

It's not yet dawn, and it's the fourth watch of the day when you're more naked. The girls in summer clothes are all shivering with cold.

The few beautiful girls who came early originally planned to come early to make a good impression on Mammy, but unexpectedly they ended up being the first ones. When Jiang Fu and the others arrived, they were almost unable to stand.

"Put your chest out, draw in your abdomen, and look straight ahead.

Why are you shaking? I can't stand up after just a short while. When I greet the emperor and empress in the future, I will have to wait outside the door for much longer than this. Stand back straight and don't bend!"

Bai Wanying lives nearby and was one of the earlier ones to come here.

Seeing that her calves were trembling, grandma pulled the ruler up with a snap, which made Zhang Songying's teeth ache.

After the nanny finished beating her, she walked towards Jiang Fu. She had been informed by Yan Mingxi in advance, and her task was to teach Jiang Fu.

She stood in front of Jiang Fu. The girl in front of her stood upright and could not fault anything, but grandma raised the ruler and slapped her on the lower abdomen.

This old guy is vicious enough. Women all know how fragile the lower abdomen is, and if it hurts the uterus, it will be difficult to have children.

I'm afraid that by taking this position, she just wants to make herself unable to have children in the future.

Jiang Fu's eyes flashed, and she ducked back slightly to prevent her from missing the target, but it was not true.

"Oh, oh, my stomach hurts so much. I can't help anymore."

Jiang Fu suddenly wailed and fell down with pain on her face.

Grandma was startled by her wailing sound and glanced suspiciously at the ruler in her hand.

I didn’t hit her hard just now, so I wouldn’t have beaten her badly in one go, right?

Upon seeing this, Zhang Songying hurriedly knelt down to support her and said in an anxious tone:

"What's wrong? Is it damaged? Where does it hurt?"

Seeing that Jiang Fu seemed to be so painful that her face turned pale, she turned around and glared at her grandma angrily, asking her to call the doctor as soon as possible.

Seeing that the pain was so severe that she was not pretending, the aunt asked the maid on the side to call the imperial doctor.

It's just that there are only two imperial doctors in this summer resort. The little prince was summoned away by Concubine Zhang because of the cold and fever last night. If he goes to invite them now, he may not be able to invite them.

With a weak look on her face, Jiang Fu asked Zhang Songying to help her sit down on a stone bench aside. She held Zhang Songying's hand and complained that her stomach hurt.

"Mommy's attack was too harsh. Isn't it broken?"

"It must have been damaged. Hey, it hurts to look at it. You can see that her lips are no longer bloody."

The other beautiful ladies looked at Jiang Fu and whispered among themselves.

But let alone Jiang Fu, even the beautiful lady who spoke had no blood on her lips and was too cold.

The veins on Mammy's forehead were throbbing, and she felt that she was really crazy. She had beaten so many palace maids, and her strength was always measured. It seemed that there was no serious harm, but the body could be injured.

Why was this blow neither light nor heavy, but it broke her body? It was only because her bones were too weak.

"Shut your mouths, all of you. If you can't learn the rules, you will chew on your tongue. Just stand still and keep learning!"

Grandma asked Zhang Songying to take care of Jiang Fu, and she went to teach the other show girls again. As time passed slowly, almost all the show girls arrived.

Wu Mingyu and Jiang Lu lived close to each other, and they came together. It was obvious that they came here because of each other. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the little eunuch's shrill voice sounded outside:

"The official of the factory is here~"

When Jiang Fu heard Yan Mingxi's arrival, she looked up. There was no pain on her face.

"I'm fine, help me up."

She stood up holding Zhang Songying's arm and returned to the team of show girls.

Grandma was dumbfounded. She was in so much pain just now that she couldn't straighten her back. She said she would be fine as soon as Mr. Chang arrived?

If it turns out that she is just faking it, then grandma will be a fool!

"You, you beautiful girl are too tricky!"

Jiang Fu lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly to her, as if thanking her for her "praise". Grandma was almost stunned by her provocative action.

At this time, Yan Mingxi walked into the yard with people cheering and cheering, and Grandma could only stop her activities and stand aside in a dignified manner.

Fortunately, a late-arriving show girl hurried this way and almost bumped into Yan Mingxi, but was stopped by the little eunuch next to him.

"Be bold!"

The beautiful lady was frightened by the scolding. She looked up and saw the battle in the yard. She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "pop".

"My slave was in a hurry and didn't see my father-in-law. Please forgive me."

"puff·····"

As soon as Xiu Nu finished speaking, Jiang Fu couldn't help laughing, and quickly lowered her head and raised her hand to cover her face.

This girl is so brave. She dared to call Yan Mingxi "father-in-law" in public. Isn't this tiring of life?

Sure enough, the old eunuch Yan Mingxi's face froze, he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground coldly, and said in a cold tone like a poisonous snake spitting out poison:

"Oh, our family sent someone to tell you that you would come within a quarter of an hour, but you delayed your arrival until a quarter of an hour. You don't take our family seriously, so I will teach you what the rules are. Come here.

, twenty rods."

The beautiful girl had been struggling for days and was frightened. She was really unwell and couldn't get out of bed. She said she had broken the rules, but it was understandable.

However, no one dared to stand up and plead for her at this time. They could only watch Yan Mingxi lift her fingers with long nails, and two young eunuchs stepped forward to hold her down.

"No need to pull it down, just hit it here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful lady immediately collapsed on the ground, so scared that she lost her soul.

In order not to kill anyone, the harem cane was always slapped on the buttocks, and it was best to avoid the waist and abdomen.

Twenty strokes with the cane is not too severe a punishment, and lying on the bed for ten days and a half is enough.

However, the cane punishment requires you to take off your pants and beat her. It is okay to pull her down to the torture chamber and beat her. Being tortured in public is no different from ruining a girl's innocence.

What's more, they will have to face the saint later. Now they can only stay in the room to recuperate after being beaten. Basically, they have no chance of becoming concubines.

I came all the way to participate in the talent show, only to have my pants pulled off and beaten before returning home. This is both easy to say and not easy to hear.

It took a while for the beautiful lady to react, break away from the little eunuch who was holding her down, kneel on the ground and kowtow vigorously to Yan Mingxi.

Yan Mingxi didn't even look at it, and impatiently asked the young eunuch to execute the execution quickly.

"When you enter the harem, you must abide by the rules of the harem. If you break the rules, you may be fined or beaten, or you may lose your life.

This emperor is no different from your own family. If you make the slightest mistake, you will lose your head. Even if you enter the palace to choose a beautiful lady who is the future empress, she is still a slave in front of the emperor.

Only by knowing your identity clearly can you save your life and go a long way, do you understand?"

Yan Mingxi dealt with the beautiful girl in order to give others a warning and let them know who has the final say in the harem. Even if they win the favor of the emperor in the future, they must firmly control themselves in order to be in the harem.

The harem is doing well.

The beautiful ladies are usually the ladies of the world. They have never seen such a bloody scene. They all nodded in response after hearing this:

"yes."

The sound of the sticks and the screams of the beautiful girls could not be heard. Yan Mingxi looked at them with satisfaction as they were trembling with fear. He waved to the two nuns and asked them to take the beautiful girls down for a physical examination.

It is not uncommon to go to the palace to have a body test. Everyone has had a body test during the private primary election, but this time Yan Mingxi arranged something a little different.

This time, each person was taken into the room alone by the nanny for a physical examination.

After the first show girl entered, about half a cup of tea later, a woman's scream could be heard in the room.

The show girls looked at each other in confusion, wondering what was going on inside and why she could scream so miserably.

After a while, the beautiful girl who was brought in for a physical examination broke away from her nanny, ran out in messy clothes, and knelt in front of Yan Mingxi.

"Mr. Factory, please be clear to me. This slave is a perfect woman! It's her, but it's because grandma was too heavy-handed that she became famous! Please be clear to me, Mr. Factory!"

This woman cried miserably, and the other beautiful ladies took a deep breath when they saw this.

What!

Let grandma put her hand in and check????

Wouldn't it be that if you don't grasp the importance of things properly, your virginity will be broken like the woman in front of you, who will you find to reason with at that time?

Jiang Fu frowned and looked at Yan Mingxi with eyes full of disgust.
