Cyan Lotus of Space Clearance

Chapter 32 Draft ([-])

The days passed by like water, and in a blink of an eye, it was June 43, 21 years of Kangxi, and the Eight Banners draft, which had been postponed for a year, finally kicked off.

Early in the morning, Su Yierha and An Min were cleaned from head to toe by their respective maids. They wore the same simple big braids, and wore the same style of green flag dress with pipa and narrow sleeves. Hanging a strip of white silk cloth, it is written "Niu Hulu Su Yierha (Niu Hulu Anmin), daughter of Ling Zhu, a fourth-rank ceremonial official in Xianghuang Banner".

After kowtowing to the old lady, the sisters got on the draft carriage.

An Min glanced at Su Yierha jealously. Although she was very plainly dressed and the flag dress was of plain style and color, wearing it on Su Yierha seemed to bring out the elegance of her body, and she... She thought gloomily that bright colors like pink, light yellow, or purple were more suitable for her.

The carriage drove for about half an hour before stopping, only to hear Ling Zhu say outside: "Here we are, come down."

The two got out of the car as promised.

Su Yierha looked around, there were many beautiful women, this must be Shenwumen.

"Even if you two don't get along at home, you should help and support each other when you get inside. It's the palace, you must not show your temper inside, bear it if you can... Ama only hopes that you will go in safely and come out safely. .” Ling Zhu instructed in a low and serious voice.

"Yes, Amma." The two sisters glanced at each other, no matter how much they hated each other, they couldn't shame the family.

An Min suppressed her excitement, her chance to change her destiny is here...

The time was almost up, the two saluted Ling Zhu, and reluctantly followed the little eunuch into the carriage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and slowly entered the Shenwu Gate.

Then, the inner eunuch beat the gong and ordered them to be arranged according to their flags and ages, and the relatives of the empresses in the palace and the beautiful girls who had been named in the previous session were called out separately and taken away. He led them to the palace.

After walking for a long time, I came to an unknown spacious yard and started the first round of selection.

The first round of the draft is very famous, and Su Yierha has often seen it in modern online novels. He really went to the room one by one according to the roster to let several nuns check their bodies.

In order to feel better, Zhang Jiashi had prepared a lot of purses for her and An Min, but she still didn't expect the process to be so uncomfortable.Taking off her clothes is not only a test of innocence, but also whether there are scars on Xiunv's body and whether it smells... It must be clearly analyzed. Fortunately, Su Yierha was generous at the beginning, and her skin was soft, delicate, smooth, and full of vitality. , at a glance, you can tell that it is flawless white jade, and it doesn't take much effort.

Several nuns glanced at each other, and the lucky one among them took the booklet and sketched a few times: "The girl is born beautiful, she must be a lucky one."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they are dismissed in this round, they will be underestimated when they go to their husband's house in the future.Su Yierha forced a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, mama!" After a half salute, she walked out.

Because she and An Min belonged to the Xianghuang Banner of Shangsan Banner, they were already at the top of the queue, so it was over on the first day they entered the palace.However, this round of selection took a full eight days. After the end, half of the nearly 300 draft team from the beginning immediately went, leaving only 130 people.

Su Yierha and An Min lived with two other beautiful girls, one of whom was Yiergenjue Luodanzhu whom Su Yierha knew, who belonged to Xiangbaiqi, and the other was Xitaratu, who belonged to Zhenghongqi.

Danzhu has a weak and beautiful appearance, and she also speaks with a timid baby voice. Unfortunately, Su Yierha felt that her voice was incompatible with her voice half a year ago, but she can no longer find it. She has become more tactful and decent. From the inside to the outside, it gives people a soft and watery beauty.

The draft is really something that can transform a person.Su Yierha felt that this should be the case, and she was slightly disappointed, but she didn't have a deep relationship with Danzhu, so she quickly put aside that strange feeling.

Atu is a shy girl, although her appearance is the most simple of the four, with a kind of rustic and natural beauty.Her father is a fifth-rank defenseman, and he came to Beijing to draft a show and temporarily stayed at a relative's house.

The few people were very careful, and stayed in the room to talk except for eating.Because in the palace, even if they were acquaintances, they only talked a few words on sensitive topics and what happened to which beautiful girls or which beautiful girls had troubles, and only talked about what women like. The time for clothing and accessories passed quickly, and it was time for the re-election in a blink of an eye.

The second multiple selection is very cumbersome, and Su Yierha already knew the content. It is to ask the eunuch to check the eyes, ears, nose, hair, skin, neck, and back. Clear, rough voice, those who deal with panic are also eliminated; there is another item that eunuchs use a ruler to measure hands and feet, observe walking posture and etiquette rules...

In the end, Su Yierha felt that he had a great chance of losing the election.I'm dizzy, especially the last item, under the eyes of those tigers, it's good enough to be able to have different hands and feet...Look at those beautiful women, at least half of them must be eliminated here.

That night, Su Yierha had a dream. She dreamed of many castles, and each castle had a door. The size of each door was different, and some monsters or monsters came from outside the castle. Natural disaster, in short, many people have to enter the castle. Su Yierha followed the crowd, but found that she couldn't squeeze through those doors no matter what... She was so anxious that she woke up all of a sudden!
Phew, what an inexplicable dream!

The results of the draft came out quickly, unexpectedly, all four people in Su Yierha's room passed. Of the 130 seven show girls, only 61 passed. It is said that the number of them is the highest among the previous show girls.

A few people were so excited that Ah Tu even took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears.

What excited Su Yierha was that this proved that her every move was in line with the Qing Dynasty's "certification" for ladies.This is what she worked hard for, and she is naturally happy with the good results.

The show girls who have passed the re-election are real registered show girls. Palace regulations have very strict requirements for named show girls. , must be discussed separately.Unless one month later the draft is over and the sign is put on hold, after the seventeenth birthday, they will not be able to marry for life.

——Su Yierha seems to remember that Wanning in the famous "Ordinary Qingchuan Days" was not listed after the draft, which made her parents anxious, and then it was revealed where she eloped... Saved Kangxi or April [-]th?In short, they used the credit of that design to forcefully marry Sisi.

In the next month, the show girls who stayed behind learned the rules again with the teaching nuns (renewal is necessary), even though the show girls learned the rules from the nuns invited by the family before entering the palace for the draft. , but most of those nuns have been out of the palace for a long time, and they can't remember clearly the rules of the palace one by one.

The court ladies and eunuchs who were sent to take care of them also started to call them young masters. After all, the remaining show girls either entered the palace or were pointed out to the prince's clan or nobles.

During this time, some of these show girls would be called by concubines of the harem for questioning from time to time, and Su Yierha was also called twice, once by Concubine De of Yonghe Palace, and once by Concubine Yi of Yikun Palace, because the two belonged to the harem A person with a high status and real power in the palace made An Min, who had been called to ask three times by the empresses of the palace, dare not be too complacent in front of her.

Danzhu was also called to Yonghe Palace three times by Concubine De, so that the other concubines knew what Concubine De meant and didn't ask her to ask questions anymore.

Atu was also called by Concubine Cheng twice, and she was very happy to see her appearance.

The most outstanding among all the beautiful women is Guer Jiayingshu, the number one beauty in Beijing who is known as "both talented and beautiful". I can reach it, and I heard that she can dance well too... Half of the famous young men in the capital are her suitors.

The most famous show girl is Wanyan Helan, who also passed the re-election. She is famous not because of her excellent riding and shooting, nor because of her straightforward personality, but because the person who asked her to ask questions was not a concubine in the harem, but a concubine. Kangxi.

Everyone was guessing that she might be named.

The rumors had been circulating for several days, Su Yierha and Danzhu looked at each other when they heard about it, neither of them believed that Helan was the one who invited the favors.It's a pity that they don't live in the same courtyard as Helan, it's inconvenient and too conspicuous to go and see her, maybe they will be involved in rumors, after a while of silence, they can only remain silent to the end, I hope Helan will be stronger.

It's not mediocrity that attracts people's envy. From another perspective, Helan's family background, character and appearance are both superior, so she will be hurt by rumors whenever there is any movement.Like that Guerjiayingshu, didn't it spread that she was the prince's favorite side Fujin for a while, and that her ideal candidate was a certain elder brother for a while?

It's depressing, but that's the way things are.

Thank you Ling Zhu for being a fourth-rank official. Although her appearance is impressive, she behaves in a low-key manner, reticent, doesn't compete with others, and is safe and sound.
