Entering the palace, some people like it, some people avoid it.
Not every family is willing to send their daughter to the palace for the illusory future of Bona.
There are policies above and countermeasures below, and some people lied that their daughter was sick, and they were afraid of passing the disease to the nobles, so they voluntarily cut the qualifications to enter the palace. Although this matter is illegal, it only needs to be managed up and down. The most important thing is that no one will report it, and the person above will turn a blind eye.
And like Wei Yingluo, when things go to the street, Zheng Huangqi Zuo Ling has no choice but to take care of it.
"Say it!" Zheng Huangqi Zuo Ling said sharply, "What's going on here?"
"This, this..." Wei Qingtai found a reasonable explanation for a while.
"Let me explain." A soft female voice sounded behind Wei Qingtai.
Wei Yingluo was tied up with ropes and had difficulty walking, so she simply walked on her knees in front of the leader of Zheng Huangqi, her face raised, her blood-stained face became clearer.
"Lord Zuo Ling, I'm Wei Yingluo, this year's palace maid candidate." She looked calm and said in a sincere tone, "My father spoiled me too much and didn't want to send me to the palace, so he declared that I was crazy. And then forced me to marry away..."
"Enough!" Zheng Huangqi Zuo Ling was no longer willing to listen to this, but felt that even himself became a joke amid the people's pointing, who is to blame? He stared at the culprit in his heart, Wei Qingtai, with a chilling expression, "Girls from the Three Banners in the Household Affairs Office must choose palace maids. Leader, it’s all about sin, have you eaten the gall of a bear’s heart and a leopard!”
"I... I..." Wei Qingtai was with me for a long time, and finally he could only slowly bend his knees, knelt down towards him, and slammed his head on the ground, "There are thousands of mistakes, and it's all my fault..."
Things have gotten to this point, he can only take all the responsibilities on himself, so as not to drag down the whole family. Besides, if he doesn't take it now, the Hui people will put all the guilt on him, and the means will only be more ruthless and ruthless, lest he still have the opportunity to turn over and accuse others...
"Pity the hearts of parents in the world." But she heard Wei Yingluo sigh and knelt beside Wei Qingtai, her forehead also knocked on the ground, the blood on her forehead stained the blue bricks on the ground, she prayed, "Father does not want me to enter. I don't want my father to be punished because of me, the palace is the white-headed maid, but also for the sake of our father and daughter, please spare him this time, and I will definitely enter the palace on time."
The word filial piety has been the most touching since ancient times.
Immediately someone sighed: "What a filial daughter, Lord Guan, just spare them this time."
"Yeah, pity the hearts of parents all over the world."
"I also have a daughter, and I can't bear to marry her away, not to mention entering the palace. The gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, and it will be difficult to see her again in this life."
Zheng Huang Qi Zuo Ling glanced at Wei Yingluo with a complicated look.
Her words were given to everyone down the stairs. Wei Qingtai did not break the law, but his father and daughter were deeply in love, and he was not oversight. Instead, he could take this opportunity to comply with public opinion and be a master of the sky.
"Okay." Zheng Huangqi Zuo Ling nodded slowly, "For the sake of so many people pleading for you, this official will spare you this time. You must not be confused again, understand?"
"The villain understands." Wei Qingtai kowtowed, he could only understand, he had to understand, and even in order to express his repentance, he had to send Wei Yingluo into the palace in person.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Wei Qingtai turned her head and saw Wei Yingluo looking at him firmly, repeating what she said earlier in Yizhuang: "My daughter must enter the palace."
At this point, Wei Qingtai had no choice but to say angrily and angrily: "Go, you can go! It's up to you to die or live, I don't care, I don't care anymore!"
In my heart, I can only blame this thief, who is so undead, but at this time, let Zheng Huangqi lead the way through this street.
But, did Zheng Huangqi Zuo Ling really happen to pass by
In the crowded crowd, it was also the direction of the yellow flag and the leader. A middle-aged woman raised her hand and pressed the hat on top of her head. A black veil hung down from the hat, covering her face. Otherwise, Wei Qingtai would have seen her. His face will surely ask: "Ajin, why are you here?"
There are not many coincidences in this world, many coincidences, and the liquidation after the event is all man-made.
"Miss, as you ordered, I brought Zheng Huang Qizuo here." Ah Jin looked in Wei Yingluo's direction through the light veil, and sighed in his heart, "I hope I don't harm you by doing this, I hope you can really Get what you want, instead of following in your sister's footsteps..."
She took off her red wedding dress and put on a palace maid's simple blue dress. On the second day of February in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign, Wei Yingluo and a group of new palace maids walked in the flowery imperial garden.
Most of the palace maids were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were the most innocent and curious grades in life. They looked around, attracted by a peony flower and a pink butterfly.
Even thinking, is it because the flowers are so beautiful that they have sucked the blood of my sister
"What are you chatting about?" The leading maid couldn't stand the sparrow-like chatter of the group, and snorted coldly, "This is the Forbidden City, the most noble place in the world, so you can look at it in confusion. Talk? Hurry up!"
Wei Yingluo was about to follow, when a palace maid beside her tugged on her sleeve. Although she lowered her voice a little, it was enough for the little maids around her to hear: "Look, over there!"
Wei Yingluo couldn't help frowning. She felt that the other party was a little restless. The big palace maid asked them not to look and talk nonsense on the front foot. She made such a big movement on the back foot, and it wasn't her own movement, she was pulling Everyone dives in...
By the way, she remembered that the girl seemed to be called Jinxiu.
He is just like his name, with a pointed face with a melon seed, a waist of a water snake that can be grasped, and a romantic flow from head to toe, worthy of such a gorgeous name as Jinxiu.
A group of little palace maids looked at the prestige, only to see that in the depths of the peach blossoms, several beautiful girls came to the willows. There are jasmine and roses floating in the distance, which is refreshing.
A baby-faced little palace maid blinked her eyes: "Sister Jinxiu, who are they? Fairies?"
These words are very childish. This girl also looks like a child. Wei Yingluo remembers that she is the youngest among them, only fourteen years old, and her name is Jixiang.
The same person lives up to its name, like a New Year's picture doll, and it makes people feel festive when looking at it.
"Those are the show girls who have passed the audition and are preparing for the palace election." Linglong looked envious, as if she was about to stretch out two hands in her eyes. on yourself.
"Such beautiful clothes." Jixiang also looked envious, but this kind of envy was completely different from Linglong, the little sister next door looked at the candied gourd in your hand with a look of longing, "If I can wear it too Such a nice dress would be nice."
When Jinxiu heard this, she sneered: "They are all noble ladies, and they are masters when they enter the palace. Even if we pass the examination, we are just serving their palace maids, you—"
She bumped her elbow against Jixiang: "Stop daydreaming!"
"Be careful!" Wei Yingluo shouted late. Jixiang was young and frail, so it took two hands to lift the wooden bucket for cleaning, and it was especially difficult to lift, and it was a little swaying just standing. Now Jinxiu bumped into her weak and weak elbow, The wooden barrel immediately let go, and with a clatter, the wooden barrel fell to the ground, and the sewage inside flew out like splashing ink and splashed onto the skirt of a beautiful girl.
Jixiang was frightened, and hurriedly rushed to the other's feet: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wipe it up for you now..."
Snapped!
Jixiang was slapped to the ground and rolled in a circle, his body was stained black with sewage, like a pitiful stray dog.
"You bastard!" The beautiful girl said with a stern expression, "My fragrant cloud gauze was specially bought from Jiangnan. It was prepared for today's palace selection. You are dirty now. What do you want me to wear to see the emperor!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the servant really didn't mean it." Jixiang crawled over crying, and hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief, "The servant will wipe it for you, the servant will wipe it for you right away..."
"Go away!" Xiu Nv kicked with disgust, this kick was fierce and fast, and she didn't take auspiciousness as a person at all, just like kicking a dirty stray dog, she directly kicked the opponent's face, Jijiu got out with a whimper, and crawled back with both hands and feet, nosebleeds, kowtow like garlic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Humph!" Xiu Nu looked at the palace maid, "Do you think I should spare her?"
Although they haven't been together for a long time, they have a long heart. Seeing the miserable appearance of Jixiang, many palace maids can't bear it, but they are silent, and dare not speak for Jixiang, for fear of being implicated by her. At this moment, after listening to Xiu Nv's words, they all looked at the big palace maid expectantly, hoping that the big palace maid could speak for Jixiang.
However, Wei Yingluo knew that this was impossible.
Neither of them dared to speak for the auspiciousness of their own, how could such a sophisticated and sophisticated person like a big palace maid be an ordinary little palace maid who offends a beautiful girl who might become a concubine in the future
Sure enough, the big palace maid said with an apologetic smile: "Little Master Wuya, these girls are palace maids who have just entered the palace. They are as stupid as pigs. You can beat or scold you if you want, don't get angry!"
When the maids heard the words, they either showed disappointment or glared at them, and then they closed their mouths even tighter. Everyone is a smart person, and they dare not do things that the big maids dare not do.
At this moment, the only people who can speak for Jixiang are the beautiful girls of the same status.
"Sister Wuya." A timid voice sounded, "She didn't mean it either, so please forgive her."
… Is there really a beautiful girl who is willing to speak for Jixiang
