Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

And, when I listen to it again, it is like the gurgling water and the willows blown by the wind, and it is soft and charming when I listen to it carefully.

The hall was silent for a while, the emperor sat up slightly, and said with strong interest in his tone: "Gu Qing's daughter, 'Mi', which 'Mi' is it?" The echo sounded unreal from a distance, buzzing as if in an illusion.

Gu Mi bowed her head and replied: "It's Mi (mi. The fourth sound), which means quiet and peaceful. In Shuowen, there is: Mi, An Ye."

"Well, I don't know if you are commensurate with your father's character, raise your head and let me have a look."

Gu Mi raised her head slightly, grasping every tiny expression and movement, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she did not dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes, she lowered her head slightly, when her eyes slightly touched the emperor's face, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were full of water, Delicate and beautiful, there is a hint of indistinct charm, coupled with a strong bookish atmosphere, the temperament and charm are not to be picked.What Gu Mi wanted was to give the emperor a good impression in order to get a higher status when she first entered the palace.

"As expected of the daughter of the Gu family in Wu County, she has a good appearance and temperament. Write down the name and keep it." The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

The inner eunuch at the side came out to brush up his presence, "Gu Mi, the daughter of Gu Chen, a scholar of the palace, leave a sign and give me a sachet."

Gu Mi returned after thanking her.

"Shen Meizhuang, the daughter of the governor of Jeju, Shen Zishan, is sixteen years old." Meizhuang came out of the row, with a light figure, bowed her head and gave a blessing, and her voice was like a warbler: "My daughter Shen Meizhuang sees the emperor and the queen. May the emperor live forever and the queen live forever." auspicious."

The emperor's tone was quite interesting: "Have you ever read any books?"

Mei Zhuang replied in a gentle and polite manner: "The minister is dull, she seldom reads, she has only read "Nv Ze" and "Nv Xun", and she can know a few words."

The emperor said with a "huh": "These two books focus on the virtues of women, not bad."

The queen agreed with a pleasant face: "My daughter's family mostly relies on needlework girls. It is very good that you can read a few words."

Mei Zhuang didn't dare to show too much joy when he heard the words, and replied with a slight smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress, for your appreciation."

The queen spoke with a smile, and ordered the internal supervisor of the ceremony: "Hurry up and write down the name for future use."

Mei Zhuang retreated, turned around and stood beside Zhen Huan, heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhen Huan.

"Zhen Huan, daughter of Zhen Yuandao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is fifteen years old."

Zhen Huan took two steps forward, prostrated herself prostratingly, bowed her head and said: "My daughter Zhen Huan sees the emperor and the empress. I wish the emperor long live and the empress auspiciously."

The emperor gave a soft "Oh" and asked, "Zhen Huan? Which 'Huan' is it?"

(Gu Mi complained: Emperor, why do you like to ask people's names so much? Is there no topic?)

Zhen Huan blurted out: "Cai Shen's words: Huan Huan curls up at the waist of the palace of Chu. It is the name of the minister's daughter."

The emperor clapped his palms and said with a smile: "You are very good at poetry and books, and Zhen Yuandao is very good at teaching girls. I just don't know if you deserve this name. Look up!"

(Gu Mi complained: Emperor, are you illiterate? This word reads xuan (first sound))

Zhen Huan raised her head, and heard the Queen say: "Come forward." As she spoke, she looked slightly sideways, and the eunuch next to her immediately understood, picked up a cup of tea and poured it in front of Zhen Huan.Zhen Huan didn't understand what it meant, so she had to pretend to ignore it, and walked two steps forward steadily with the tea.

The queen smiled and said, "It's very dignified."

Seeing the emperor raised his hand and slightly raised the twelve-pronged white jade beads hanging in front of him, he was taken aback for a moment, and praised: "You are soft and charming, you really deserve this name."

The queen said, "The dress is also very elegant, just like the Shen family just now, it is pink and willow green, and it matches well."

Zhen Huan lowered her head, her face was burning hot, and she was already as red as a glow, so she had to keep silent.

The emperor nodded with a smile, and ordered the eunuch, "Write down her name for future use."

The queen turned her head to the emperor and said with a smile: "The concubines selected today are all stunning. Some are proficient in poetry and books, and some are virtuous and gentle. They really add to the peaceful atmosphere in the palace." The emperor smiled but did not answer.

After the 009 draft

When the class of show girls is over, according to the pre-guided internal supervisors, no matter whether they are selected or not, they all kowtow to thank them and then file out with the class.

He just came out of Yunyi Palace, heard a "bang" behind him, turned to look, it was Ye Fangchun, daughter of Jiangsu Yandao, who was in the same row just now, her complexion was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she passed out.Presumably it was not able to "keep it in use" so that the sadness was excessive and the phlegm surged up.Gu Mi sneered, this psychological quality is too bad!If she entered this harem that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, tsk tsk, there may be no bones left, even the mass grave is a good place for her.

After walking a few steps, an older court lady came up with a lantern to lead the beautiful lady out of the palace.The maid's face was full of smiles, and she gave Gu Mi a blessing and said, "Congratulations to the young master for being selected as a concubine." Gu Mi smiled reservedly, rewarded her with silver, and slowly walked out of Yuxiang's gate with an elegant posture .

There were only a few carriages waiting outside Yuxiang's gate, and the glazed lanterns hanging in front of the carriages swayed in the wind, as if they couldn't help themselves.Aunt Lin and Baoqin were waiting on the carriage. Seeing her approaching from afar, they hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with their cloaks to greet her.Baoqin stepped forward quickly, held Gu Mi's arm and said distressedly, "Miss is tired." Aunt Lin put the Yunsi cloak on her body and tied it up.Gu Mi got into the carriage and nodded goodbye to Zhen Huan and the two who were not far away, then went back to the University Scholars' Mansion.

Before the carriage reached the door of the Grand Scholars' Mansion, Gu Mi could already hear the sound of drums and crackling of firecrackers in the distance.Baoqin helped her open the curtain of the car, and the red lanterns reflected a street as bright as in a dream.From a distance, I saw all the relatives of the Gu family who had settled in the capital waiting in front of the gate. No matter how cold Gu Mi was, her eyes were red and she was about to shed tears, but she could only die. Hold back.

Seeing Gu Mi's carriage approaching, the servants and maidservants of the University Scholars Office greeted her early and stretched out their hands to support her.Gu's father smiled like a spring breeze, but the red eyes betrayed him, and Gu's mother's eyes were full of tears.As soon as Gu Mi walked to the gate of the mansion, everyone knelt down and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Gu Chen and his family will meet the young master."

Looking at the relatives kneeling in front of them, Gu Mi resisted the deep bitterness in her heart... She stretched out her hand to help Gu's parents and Gu's mother.Gu's father quickly waved his hand: "No, my lord. This is against the rules." Gu Mi paused, retracted her hand,

Gu Mi was only slightly taken aback when she heard this, then she naturally withdrew her outstretched hand, and tried her best to keep her tone calm and said, "Get up." She knew that from the moment she left the sign, there was a bond between her and the relatives of the Gu family. an insurmountable gap.Now she is a concubine of the Heavenly Palace, and she only has to wait two days for the decree to confirm her status and rank.

The people just got up and welcomed her into the mansion.At the moment, only their family had a family banquet.Father Gu let her take the seat.

Gu Mi immediately knelt down and said: "My daughter is not filial, she will not be able to take care of her parents in the future, and her parents should be so observant, it is really uneasy for her." Mother Gu hurriedly wanted to help Gu Mi, and Father Gu But stopped her, Gu Mi still knelt down and said, "Although my daughter is already a member of the Tian family, filial piety is the first thing in all deeds. A daughter will always be the daughter of her parents. Please allow her to be with her parents." Before entering the palace, I still served him with courtesy, so as to fulfill my filial piety."

Gu's mother burst into tears after hearing this, Gu's father nodded in relief, and said with tears in his eyes, "Okay! She is worthy of being the daughter of the Gu family, she is filial and courteous. It is not in vain to teach Gu Mi's sister-in-law." Then she signaled to Gu Mi's sister-in-law to help her Get up and sit down to eat one by one as usual.

Gu Mi has worked hard all day, and the scene just now happened again, so she has no appetite.Then go back to the room early to rest.

Shi Shu and Si Qi made up the bed early in the morning.Although Gu Mi felt tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all.Just as she changed her pajamas and lay down, Gu's father and mother came to see her.

Dad choked up and called her "Wu Hou", and she sat beside him, hugging his arm as intimately as she did when she was a child, Gu Fu: "Wu Hou, why do parents come here so late? I want to tell you. Although you are only 15 years old, you have a big idea since you were young, and you are smarter than your brothers. At the age of three, you can quickly recognize all the words, and at the age of 6, you are proficient in ancient and modern books. As you grow older, so does your father. You can learn whatever you want, although your temperament is not spoiled, but now you are going to serve in the palace, but you can't control your temperament. You must look forward and backward in everything, be careful, and be as calm as your sister-in-law."

Gu Mi nodded and replied, "You know, you will be careful in everything and follow the rules."

Father Gu sighed: "I didn't want you to enter the palace. It's just that the emperor's order must not be violated. Today I want to win over the nobles, but you are the only one who is suitable. Sigh~"

Seeing that Gu's father stopped talking, Gu's mother took Gu Mi's hand and exhorted, "The harem of all dynasties is a place of right and wrong, and today the draft emperor has paid a lot of attention to you. I think there will be more right and wrong in the future, so you must be careful. Save yourself."

010 First conferred concubine

Early the next morning, Gu Mi washed up and sat in front of the dressing table. Si Qi and Jin Hua were dressing her up. From the corner of her eye, she saw Bao Qin who had already made the bed, and asked her to come forward, and told her to inquire about An Lingrong's residence. You don't have to show up, just watch.Baoqin's eyes lit up, and he stepped back quickly.After Baoqin left, the waiter came in to report that breakfast was ready, Gu Mi said "Yes" to indicate that she understood, looked at the person in the mirror, and said casually, "How about what I told you to do earlier." The servant replied respectfully: "The matter has been settled, rumors have spread outside about the young lady's frailty since she was a child."

"Tell me something, let me hear it."

"Before, there were rumors in private outside that Miss was sick, and every May
