Allure of a Country Maiden

Now that such news has spread, some people who are interested in marrying their daughters into the royal family have become active.

Officials who did not want their daughters to marry into the royal family secretly began to negotiate and get engaged.

Therefore, the business of cloth shops, ready-made clothing shops, and jewelry shops in the Imperial City has been much better recently.

Xiaoer was thinking about how the Queen Mother would select concubines for the princes, whether by holding a draft, letting them choose portraits, or holding a banquet for some reason so that they could see each other.

Xiaoer didn't need to think for too long, she soon knew the answer. Cining Palace sent out a post inviting unmarried women to participate in the etiquette competition.

Xiaoer looked at the posts with her name and Yun'er's name and raised her eyebrows: Etiquette competition? Is this the selection of the best etiquette lady? The Queen Mother is quite creative!

Grandma Rong looked at this post and felt proud. The girl can definitely win the first place in this etiquette competition!

Although the second girl is not as good as the girl, under her own guidance and the girl's influence, she is still outstanding among many young ladies.

"Can I not participate?" Yun'er frowned slightly as she looked at her name. She was not interested in these limelight things.

Xiao'er felt that Yun'er was too quiet. If the person she married was Ri Ge'er in the future, scenes like this would inevitably happen.

"You cannot miss the Queen Mother's invitation unless there is a valid reason. There are too many things that people in the world don't like, but there are also a lot of things that you have to do that you can't help but adapt to." Xiaoer handed the note to her. Give it to Yangmei and ask her to keep it.

"Yun'er, there are still a lot of things you can learn from the etiquette competition. Just think of it as taking an etiquette class." Seeing Yun'er's face full of displeasure, Mrs. Liu comforted her.

Yun'er nodded helplessly.

…

It was the time when the sun reflected the snow, and all the girls who were invited to attend the etiquette competition were taken to Shangqinyuan.

Shangqinyuan is a place used for drafts and for show girls to learn palace etiquette.

"Hasn't County Lord Rui'an already granted a marriage to the sixth prince? Why are you still here to participate in this competition?" Someone asked when they saw Xiaoer appearing here.

Although it is said to be an etiquette competition, no one knows that this is just a show, and is actually a concubine selection ceremony for several princes.

Isn’t it superfluous for County Lord Rui’an, the future Sixth Imperial Concubine who has already been appointed, to participate in this competition!

"You don't know this. I heard from the princess that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with her becoming the sixth prince's concubine! That's why I sent her a message. If she doesn't win a single place in this competition, I'm afraid someone will be annulled. Come on!" Chu Die glanced at someone and pretended to be quiet but could be heard by the whole audience.

Xiaoer pretended not to hear and used her eyes to signal Yun'er not to act rashly.

This is the palace, and today they are here to participate in a ceremonial competition. Or from the moment they step into the palace gate, they will compete under the supervision of others!

They don't care whether they can get a ranking, but they can't be rude!

She is still holding the title of future sixth prince and concubine, so she should set an example for them.

"Cancel the engagement? No way? That was the emperor's decree to get married." Liang Yanli's eyes widened.

"So what? Since the emperor can issue a decree to announce the marriage, he can also issue an decree to cancel the engagement!" Chu Die said disapprovingly.

A pheasant is a pheasant! How is it possible to become a phoenix!

Maybe this competition was specially arranged to return her!

"The engagement was annulled by the prince, my God! If that's true, who would dare to marry her back!"

After hearing this, the other women all looked at Xiaoer with pity.

Xiao'er is calm and composed, not standing still in any situation, neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy.

Although Yun'er felt sorry for her sister, she also knew that this moment was not the time to care.

At this time, two nuns came to remind everyone to line up, and then took them to a lobby.

Thirty-six women were divided into three rows and stood neatly in the center of the lobby.

The emperor, the queen mother, the empress, Chang Guiren, several princes were seated in the center of the room, and some wives were sitting on the other two sides.

The Queen Mother looked at the thirty-six young women below and said: "The Ai family has not returned to Beijing for a long time. Some of you grew up watching the Ai family, but you have not seen each other for several years, and you are a little unfamiliar! Since it is a competition, then The first question is to start with self-introduction so that the Aijia can get to know you. Let’s start with the first girl on the left in the first row!”

In order to make the formation look good, the arrangement is based on height regardless of family background.

The first person on the left in the first row is Ma Yuqing, the most petite and exquisite daughter of the Minister of Etiquette.

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, she moved her jade legs lightly and stepped out of the queue. As she walked, only the pearls under her earlobes swayed slightly, the skirt of her skirt swayed slightly, and her toes were not exposed outside the skirt.

When he came in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, he folded his hands at his sides and bowed gently, saying, "Daughter of the Minister of Rites, Ma Yuqing greets the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Queen. Good luck to the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Queen!"

The queen looked at it and nodded secretly.

The wife of the Minister of Etiquette showed a satisfied smile.

The Queen Mother carefully looked at her makeup and said in her heart, "Not bad!"

It's a pity that she is a little shorter, only half a head shorter than the girl next to her.

The Queen Mother glanced at the wife of the Minister of Etiquette. Now that she was older, she had long lost the petite and sweet look of her youth. Instead, she looked a bit like a short winter melon.

no! If she is given to his grandson, what if the great-grandson born in the future follows her height!

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother gave her a big cross in her heart.

The second one is Chu Die. With Ma Yuqing's textbook-like walking posture and salute posture, the Queen Mother crossed her arms after she took a few steps!

How did Mrs. Chu teach her daughter? The accessories on this girl's body were so dazzling when she walked that it almost made her eyesight dizzy!

Chu Die chose a long skirt that stretched to the floor today, and then wore a new pair of flowerpot-soled shoes. Originally, the way she walked made people look more swaying, but in the end, she still didn't have enough heart. Among many people Under the steady gaze, she felt a hint of timidity, and then her steps swayed slightly, and the beads on her body made a slight collision sound. This mistake made her even more nervous. Being nervous makes it easy to make mistakes, and she suddenly walked into a swaying posture. indecisive!

Mrs. Chu had the urge to cover her eyes. Is this a beginner like a three-year-old child? It’s impossible to watch!

The third one is Liang Yanli, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. She has graceful manners and sweet appearance. She has a little baby fat on her face. She looks very blessed. She has a thin waist and round hips. She is a good childbearer. When the Queen Mother saw this, she nodded secretly.

"Liang Yanli, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs..." The voice was low and a little hoarse, like a boy whose voice had changed.

The Queen Mother was silent after hearing this. How could such a good woman have such a bad voice?
