Chapter 2 The Draft Begins

On the morning of the second day, Xie Youwei slowly came to the selection yard.

When Xie Youwei arrived, most of the beautiful ladies were already in the courtyard.

Everyone turned their attention to the courtyard gate and looked at Xie Youwei who had arrived late.

Xie Youwei is being supported by the little maid in peach pink clothes beside her. She has eyebrows like green feathers and eyes like autumn waves. She is wearing a green brocade shirt and a pearl white pleated skirt. Her hair is like clouds, with only two simple hairpins in her hair.

A small and delicate pale pink velvet flower, which looks elegant yet delicate.

The grandma standing in front of everyone frowned and looked very unhappy.

"Thank you, miss, you're late," Mammy's eyes turned to Xicui, "Besides, the maid can't come in."

Xie Youwei raised the hand holding the light green handkerchief, covered half of her beauty with a handkerchief, and coughed twice.

After Xie Youwei coughed, he put down the veil and leaned slightly in the direction of grandma.

"I'm really sorry. I caught a cold last night and ended up like this this morning. I had no choice but to ask the maid to help me over and ask my grandma to punish me."

Hearing this, everyone had the same thought - no wonder she was raised in Suzhou for so many years before coming back, she really is a sickly beauty.

What a miserable fate a beauty really has.

Grandma looked at Xie Youwei for a few times, and became even more unhappy when she saw Xie Youwei's appearance.

Such a sick and consumptive ghost, even Lai heard that she was a young lady who had just returned to the capital.

He was just an abandoned son of the general's palace, and he was not destined to be the empress of the palace at all.

"In this palace, the rules are the rules. Even if you are a young lady from the general's palace, you must abide by the rules."

Xie Youwei understood and nodded.

"I know." Then, Xie Youwei turned his head and glanced at Xicui, "Go out and wait for me."

Seeing the little maid beside Xie Youwei go out, grandma raised her chin towards Xie Youwei again.

"Go and stand at the back of the line!"

Seeing Xie Youwei's obedient and obedient appearance, a smile appeared in Mammy's eyes.

So what if she is a young lady from the General's Mansion? When she comes here, can't she just shrink away?

Xie Youwei stood in the corner and lowered his head quietly.

"I know that all of you are noble daughters of aristocratic families, but choosing to be the empress in this election is not an easy matter. Assisting the emperor is a blessing that is rare in a lifetime."

"In short, today's general election is very important, so please take care of yourself."

After Mammy finished speaking, many beautiful ladies leaned over and thanked Mammy in unison.

Grandma waved her hand.

"My young masters, please wait here for now. Someone will come to summon you later."

After saying that, the beautiful ladies dispersed into different small groups and chatted.

Xie You raised his head slightly and saw Xia Ruochun walking towards him arrogantly.

Next to him was a woman in goose-yellow clothes who looked a little guilty.

"Miss Xie's body is very delicate. Even coming here requires such a big battle. If you don't know, you would think you are already the empress of this harem."

Xie Youwei looked directly into Xia Ruochun's eyes, slowly raised her lips and smiled. The expression on her face was very calm, as if she didn't take what Xia Ruochun said to heart.

"Thank you Miss Xia for your concern, but it would be better for Miss Xia to focus on the general election."

Xia Ruochun raised her chin slightly, looking very proud.

"You and I are different."

Xie Youwei kept smiling and did not refute.

In any draft, 80% of the players include a member of the royal family.

Obviously, almost everyone knew in their hearts that Xia Ruochun's participation in the draft was just a formality.

Xia Ruochun will definitely enter the palace, and her status will never be too low.

Queen Yu is the daughter-in-law from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The queen's mother's surname is Xia.

The Xia family was originally just a small family, and the family's rapid rise relied on only two women, the queen and the queen's mother.

The status of the Queen's mother is not simple either. She is the biological sister of the Queen Mother.

Because of these two people, the Xia family member also jumped from a small secretary to the young minister of Dali Temple.

Xia Ruochun's identity is already obvious.

Xia Ruochun is the queen's niece, and Xia Ruochun's entry into the palace this time also has the queen's meaning in it.

Xia Ruochun indeed has the capital to be arrogant.

But not much.

Xie You smiled.

"We are indeed different." As Xia Ruochun's expression gradually turned doubtful, Xie Youwei moved a little closer to Xia Ruochun, leaned into Xia Ruochun's ear, and spoke in an extremely gentle voice, "Miss Xia, think more about yourself.

in the future."

After saying that, Xie Youwei raised his hand, patted Xia Ruochun's shoulder gently, and then walked away calmly.

The girl next to her didn't hear Xie Youwei's last words clearly, and only saw Xia Ruochun suddenly paused on the spot, with a look of confusion on her face.

The young lady looked at Xie Youwei's retreating figure and couldn't help but speak.

"Miss Xia, just let her go. What happened yesterday..."

Xia Ruochun's thoughts were pulled back, and he looked at the cowardice on the face of the person next to him. Immediately, he felt irritated in his heart, and he waved his sleeves at the young lady and scolded her.

"Who do you think you are, questioning what I do? Do you think she looks like she dares to speak out!"

Having lost face, the young lady didn't look very good. She stood there and bit her lip, watching Xia Ruochun's leaving figure, and finally followed her with a humble look.

It's just that the palms of the hands hidden in the sleeves have already been scratched with red marks by the long nails.

Of course, these are not things that Xie Youwei cares about.

She is not a kind person, so she will not easily forgive someone who wants to kill her, but causing trouble at this juncture is not a good thing for her or the General's Mansion.

Xia Ruochun has a domineering temperament and has always been used as a gun by the Queen.

In the plot, the Queen and Xia Ruochun had a lot of discussions with her and the heroine.

A few words might make them dog-eat-dog for a while, but it would allow her to have some fun.

Soon, the eunuch's voice sounded at the door of the courtyard.

"Xuan, a group of beautiful girls have entered the palace selection!"

"The second group of show girls are ready!"

The final round of the draft has begun.

Coincidentally, Xie Youwei and Xia Ruochun are both a group of beautiful girls, so they are neither close nor far apart.

From her perspective, she could basically see what the row of show girls looked like, but she couldn't see the judges sitting in the hall.

Being a little far away, Xie Youwei couldn't hear the sounds inside clearly, but she saw Xia Ruochun kneeling down and then standing up again, with a very obedient look from the beginning to the end.

In the end, Xie Youwei only heard the narrow, high-pitched voice of a certain father-in-law.

"Xia Ruochun, the daughter of the young minister of Dali Temple, leave a sign!"
