Xue Pinggui's expression didn't look strange at all: "The queen has been guarding the cold kiln alone for 18 years. She just wants to find a few people to accompany her."

"That's right!" The Minister of Etiquette helped to speak: "Besides, the queen only asked them to accompany them for one year, two years at most. When the time comes, they will arrange a suitable person to marry based on their knowledge and conduct. What's wrong?"

The Protector rolled his eyes. The Minister of Rites had two legitimate daughters and four concubines in his family. Everyone in the capital knew that his daughters were beautiful, capable of writing, painting, and singing poems. All of them were top-notch, except for four who were married when they reached their age.

Yes, there are two left, and they are just fifteen or sixteen years old. I originally thought about sending them to the palace, but I waited and waited but couldn't, so I could only arrange to get married. Now I have found an opportunity.

Ling Xiao added: "The queen has paid a lot for the king, and this request is not too much. But why does she have to live in the palace? She can be sent to the palace to accompany her every day, and then sent back to the palace at night."

Tsk, in this case, if you get pregnant, you won’t be able to tell whose child the child is in your belly. If you raise it in the palace, who else could it belong to besides the king?

Xue Pinggui looked at Ling Xiao, he was Dai Zan's cousin, his elbows were naturally bent inwards.

Prime Minister Zhou took a step forward: "General Ling, there must be a reason for the king's move. After all, the queen is from the Tang Dynasty. Her coming and going may spread the news. Therefore, letting these official ladies live in the palace is not necessarily a bad thing.

"

Xue Pinggui immediately climbed up the ladder: "It was Gu's decision to live in the palace. Gu believes that the queen's heart is towards Gu, but she is from the Tang Dynasty after all. If there is any trouble, she will be suspected first. In order to avoid words, I thought

The transferor lives in the palace."

Prime Minister Zhou bowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Ling Xiao paused and was speechless.

Xue Pinggui looked at Concubine Xian's father, Prime Minister Zhou. Prime Minister Zhou was from Ling Xiao's party. He usually had the most objections, but why did he help him today? Oh, by the way, there are several people in Prime Minister Zhou's family who have not left the cabinet.

Miss, that’s it, hehehehe...

After much discussion, the ten people were finally reduced to four.

During the selection, Xi Ning deliberately put it in the afternoon and asked Xue Pinggui to check it for him.

A total of more than a hundred people signed up, which was much more than expected. Knowing that entering the palace was risky, one had to be cautious when signing up. However, in order to increase the family's status in the court, even Prime Minister Zhou and General Hussar had not left the palace.

All the girls were sent.

Even Xue Pinggui was dazzled by the sight of hundreds of people, all crowded in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Yuan, with birds and birds, birds and birds, pink and willows.

And these ladies in the boudoir, looking at the vegetables and fruits grown in the yard, took a quick look and thought they were in the wrong place. This is Zhaoyangyuan where the queen lives, plus a few chickens and pigs, it looks like

Farmhouse.

Naturally, you have to choose when someone comes. Since you are choosing someone to accompany you when reading and writing, then let’s delete the selection from the exam!

In the first round of writing, select the best ones and keep them.

The second round is drawing, and the third round is musical instruments.

After three rounds, there were only forty people left, and the competition items were added. A part of the painted scroll was taken out and given to these forty people to inscribe on the spot.

Xue Pinggui simply asked a few civil servants to come over and comment on the matter on the spot.

This is not like choosing a reading companion, it is simply comparable to the imperial examination.

Writing inscriptions is not easy. To write down the artistic conception of a painting requires a certain amount of understanding and literary talent. After the fourth round, there are twenty left.

Xining made a decision immediately, tried again, and chose the project. So the twenty official ladies showed their respective strengths, such as dancing, singing, riding and shooting, writing poems with outstanding literary talent, painting, and taking out the embroidery clothes they wore or carried with them.

Taste.

An official lady was dancing the Hu Xuan Dance. This dance requires extremely light and fast steps and is extremely difficult. Concubine Yang was good at this dance.

After one dance, another one comes on stage. Darling, this one actually dances a dance with raised sleeves and bent waist! The long sleeves are tossed, the limbs are twisted and bent, and the posture is delicate. This requires an extremely soft waist and many years of practice to show a charming and graceful dance.

The long sleeves fly when you bend down.

Not to mention that Xue Pinggui's eyes almost flew out of his head, even Xi Ning was very interesting.

She dances so well. Could it be that a professional dancer from some company came here with the title of Miss Official?

If you enter the palace, Dai Zan's Jinghong Dance is just a ball and cannot be compared at all.

After several rounds of brushing, these twenty women were all versatile and outstanding. It was best to accept them all... Xue Pinggui could only swallow a mouthful of saliva and said softly: "Only four can be selected, leaving two places for Prime Minister Zhou

The fifth young lady of the family, the seventh young lady of the General Hussars. It would be better if there is also a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette."

If there are four minus three quotas, there will be only one left. Then it’s still a bad choice.

It seemed that it was too difficult to select one from the remaining 17 people, so Xue Pinggui bit the bullet and said, "I can add one more, I just have to think of a way."

It won’t work if you add one more!

Everything that needed to be done was done, and even the optional extra test was over. Everyone looked at the queen, waiting for her final choice.

Xining smiled: "Thank you for your hard work today. It turns out that Xiliang is full of talents, and the women in the boudoir are as talented as the men."

She stood up suddenly and waved her sleeves: "The twenty shortlisted people will live in Zhaoyang Yuan to study etiquette. After three months, they will be selected based on their grades. The others will be given palace flowers, so go back!"

Huh? Everyone's eyes widened suddenly. Instead of four people, there were twenty people left.

Not everyone is suitable for life in the palace. Learn the etiquette, get used to it, and choose the most suitable person to stay. There is nothing wrong with it!

He kept all twenty of them, good wives, good wives, and the bad ones were the ones he liked the most. Looking at this group of beauties, although Xue Pinggui maintained his grace on the surface, he was actually so happy that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

And what Xining thinks is: Only if more women entangle the scumbag, will she have a chance...hehehehe...

Before the twenty people settled in, Xi Ning specifically asked if there was anything in their family that they couldn't get rid of. If so, they could give palace flowers home like other women, and they would never reveal a word to their families.

Half a sentence.

As a result, four of them wanted to go back, and the others all said that they wanted to stay in the palace. Even if they lost the election in three months, it would be their blessing to stay with the queen and learn the rules of the palace.

Everyone has his own ambitions. He knows that the palace is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, but there are many people who are willing to jump in. Xi Ning, please give them this chance!

Although Zhaoyangyuan is large, if sixteen people are squeezed into it at once, the room will not be enough.

When everyone learned that Xue Pinggui was "considerate" and allowed them to stay "temporarily" in the place where his family used to live.

My son is a newly selected show girl who has not yet been canonized.

If you don't live there, where can you live? It has the largest number of rooms and can accommodate 16 people at once. But that's right! And Xue Pinggui has decreed that if a woman is selected after three months, she will be named a female officer.

She's not a concubine, she's a female official, that's right!

But everyone felt that the drunkard's intention was not to drink; Sima Zhao's intention was known to all passers-by.
Chapter completed!
