Wen Ranran was stunned for a moment, then she saw a piece of blue clothes slowly stepping out from the crowd.
Yuan Zurong was dressed in dark blue clothes, with a calm face.
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows slightly, why is Yuan Surong here? Is she also interested in entering the palace?
When Hu Duo'er was asked this question, her face suddenly turned red.
"Ms. Hu, don't you know?" Wen Ranran and Yuan Surong nodded slightly as a greeting, and then looked at Hu Duoer's red face, adding to their anger.
Hu Duoer gritted his teeth and looked at the group of people fiercely.
"Who says I don't know! Having a bandit gentleman means... there is a gentleman who is a bandit!"
"Pfft--" Wen Ranran couldn't hold it in and almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Behind him, some ladies who had read a little bit also started to snicker.
Hu Duoer's face suddenly turned red. Knowing that she had made a fool of herself, she stamped her feet angrily, gave Yuan Surong a look, and ran away in shame while holding up her skirt.
Wen Ranran took a deep breath and looked at the group of noble ladies behind her who were looking at each other.
Obviously, this simple poem can win over at least 40% of people.
Wen Ranran took a deep breath and finally lost her patience.
She slapped the table and stood up with a gloomy expression.
"You ladies all come from well-off families, and you should be people who abide by ethics. In this selection, we are choosing female officials, not showy concubines! If I see these women wearing gold and silver again, trying to rely on their ancestors' official positions
You superior, don’t blame me for being rude!"
As soon as these words came out, people around him immediately started whispering. At first, some people tried to refute. However, when Wen Ranran slapped the imperial edict on the table, no one dared to speak.
People knelt on the ground in darkness, Wen Ranran put away the imperial edict and said coldly.
"Everyone who comes for an interview must memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, and the words and sentences in them will be assessed immediately. If he cannot answer the questions, it will be assumed that he is here to fish in troubled waters!"
As soon as this condition came out, many Xiaojiabiyu covered their faces and ran away, and the team was instantly reduced by half.
Wen Ranran looked at this situation and secretly twitched the corner of her mouth.
The emperor is not young anymore. Is there anything that these girls can't think of? Under the guise of entering the palace, they have to fight their way into the deep waters of the harem.
"Tangtang, keep an eye on me. If anyone dares to do this again, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty and disrespectful to the imperial edict!"
Wen Ranran's face was expressionless.
"yes!"
With this lesson learned, it really dispelled some other people's concerns, so the next selection seemed to go much smoother.
After screening most of the items, Wen Ranran looked at the setting sun on the horizon and stretched out.
"Well... I never realized before that choosing a concubine is such a tiring task!"
Wen Yuwan watched the show all afternoon and curled her lips.
"If these Xiaojiabiyu don't do this, they may never be able to enter the palace gate in their lifetime. You don't know that every year during the draft, many officials seem to be selling their daughters, hoping that their daughters will enter the palace and honor their ancestors."
"But these people who come from small families cannot be selected because of their limited family background... That's why they are so focused on the selection of female officers this time!"
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows, "No wonder..."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wen Ranran waved her hand.
"Come on, get ready to close the stall! See you tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Jiang Tang resignedly started to pack his things.
Behind her, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves. Wen Ranran was arranging the rice paper on the table when she saw a carriage stop precisely at the door of Prince Yu's Mansion.
This is……
Wen Ranran and Wen Yuwan looked at each other, and each could see the confusion in the other's eyes.
When he was stunned, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly getting out of the carriage. He did not forget to hold on to his official hat. When he saw Wen Ranran, he immediately came forward with a familiarity.
"The County Princess! The County Princess is here too! I've met you two!"
The corner of Wen Ranran's mouth twitched, feeling that things might not be as simple as she thought.
