National Beauty

Including Song Jianing, a total of hundreds of show girls successfully passed the first two rounds of appearance and body selection, followed by a higher-ranking female officer who walked back and forth twice in the show. Among the show girls, fifty of the best-looking ones were finally selected, and all the others were sent out of the palace.

Fifty show girls were arranged in five yards. During the day, they followed the female officials to learn the rules, and at night they slept honestly. There was almost no time to talk, laugh, and talk. Because the female officials are staring at the side, Xiu Nu's every move may affect her impression in the eyes of the female officials. Before the final election, if the female officials are not satisfied, they can send the Xiu female out of the palace. She has great power.

In the small courtyard where Song Jianing was located, there were two beautiful women who were kicked out of the palace by the stern female officials because they talked about her secretly.

Song Jianing didn't know what the two undrafted girls thought. She slept uncomfortably that night, and her mind was always wandering with the resentful eyes that the two girls cast at her before they left. Song Jianing died unfairly. It was obvious that they laughed at her for getting fat first and bullied her. After being punished, they didn't reflect on it, but instead hated her as a suffering master.

But after sleeping for one night, Song Jianing forgot about it the next day and continued to follow the rules of the female officials honestly.

Nine days passed in a flash. On the tenth day, the show women ushered in a day off. The women officials who usually stayed at all disappeared, and everyone was finally able to feel more comfortable and take a breath.

On Song Jianing's side, she only recognized Tan Xiangyu, and the two of them had a bit of grudges, so after breakfast, Song Jianing went back to her room and took a book and sat on the bed to read. The yard is not big and there are many show girls, so each show girl’s room has only one bedroom and one hall. Song Jianing reads and the maid, Zhen'er, who is waiting for her, stays in the hall.

After reading for two quarters of an hour, Song Jianing put down his book and walked to the window and looked out the window. Suddenly, a girl in a red dress passed by the window, walking briskly and smiling at the corners of her lips. Song Jianing recognized her as Li Mulan, who lived on her left, and her grandfather was the famous General Huwei Dazhou. In the year Li Mulan was born, her father died on the battlefield, and her mother named her daughter Mulan, hoping that her daughter would be as brave as the ever-famous Mulan.

Song Jianing had never dealt with Li Mulan before entering the palace, but she had heard about Li Mulan. She knew that Li Mulan had learned martial arts since she was a child, and she was especially good at using the whip, and her temper was as strong as a man, and Li Mulan He was tall and slender, but not as weak as other ladies. On the contrary, he looked like a verdant and tall white poplar, exuding a breath of heroism.

The reputation of such a maverick woman has spread all over the capital, and the women in the house pointed and pointed her, but Emperor Xuande praised Li Mulan and rewarded Li Mulan with a good horse and a magic whip. It can be said that, apart from the family members and daughters, Song Jianing and Li Mulan are the only two beauties in Beijing who have been rewarded by Emperor Xuande. Of course, Song Jianing's reasons for being rewarded cannot be compared with Li Mulan.

As I was thinking, a hearty and beautiful female voice came from outside: "Are the four girls here?"

It turned out that Li Mulan came to her, and Song Jianing hurriedly greeted her. The two sides had a face-to-face meeting, and Song Jianing was a little shy when he met Li Mulan's undisguised gaze. Everyone is a girl. Why does Li Mulan look at her like a young boy? He even glanced at her chest.

Song Jianing met such a girl for the first time.

"Is Sister Mulan doing anything?" Song Jianing asked softly.

She has a lovely voice, but she is not as pretentious as the girl next to her. When she hears people getting goose bumps, Li Mulan laughs, watching Song Jianing and explaining: "It’s boring to be bored in the room. I see you the most in the whole courtyard. Pleasing to the eye, just come over to talk to you, shouldn't it disturb you?

He won the favor of the female middle school hero without doing anything. Song Jianing was flattered, shook his head with a smile, asked Li Mulan to take a seat, and then asked the palace lady Zhen'er to pour tea.

"Others are looking forward to getting thinner, why are you..." Li Mulan asked, staring at Song Jianing.

Song Jianing blushed and said awkwardly: "I'm afraid of being hungry. If I don't have enough to eat, I feel uncomfortable, so my mother will indulge me."

Li Mulan laughed loudly and rejoiced: "Fortunately, you are afraid of being hungry, otherwise you will only eat two meals per meal like them, and start to pant after walking a few steps. I really can't find any sisters to talk in the capital."

She is a little familiar, Song Jianing hasn't said anything yet, she first regards Song Jianing as a sister, but Song Jianing quite likes Li Mulan's frankness and heartiness, and she recognizes her sisters with Li Mulan. Li Mulan has a lot of interesting facts about martial arts. Song Jianing has a lively and lovely brother. The two talked very happily, and they talked all day before they knew it.

At the end of the one-day vacation, the show girls started training in the palace again.

Song Jianing was well-behaved and never caused trouble. Li Mulan refused to obey discipline. The female officer knew that Emperor Xuande valued Li Mulan, so she made an exception and loosened the rules. In a blink of an eye, it was the second ten-day holiday. Li Mulan asked Song Jianing to enjoy the coolness under the locust tree in the courtyard. The two were chatting. A girl came out from the west wing. Song Jianing followed the sound and looked at Tan Xiangyu.

Song Jianing took a casual look and then withdrew his gaze, Tan Xiangyu walked towards her, and when she reached her, he said unscrupulously: "Cousin Jianing, me, can I sit with you for a while? I have been in the palace for so long. I almost forgot how to talk to people."

Song Jianing bit her lower lip secretly, and Tan Xiangyu asked. Moreover, Tan Xiangyu is a cousin of Ting Fang's sister. Song Jianing does not want to have a deep friendship with her, but he does not want to embarrass her either.

She smiled and nodded.

Tan Xiangyu smiled happily and sat down beside her.

Song Jianing continued to talk to Li Mulan. Li Mulan glanced at Tan Xiangyu, guessing that the cousin was not very close, so she just assumed that Tan Xiangyu was not around.

"Ah, Cousin Jianing, don't move, there is a little spider next to you."

Song Jianing could not help but stiffen up and did not dare to move. Li Mulan was about to check for her. Tan Xiangyu had already made a quick move. The index finger was squeezed on the side of Song Jianing's face, and he did not touch Song Jianing. Then she retracted her hand and bowed her head. Take a look and laughed: "There are often small spiders spinning down under the tree. I will wash my hands. You guys go sit in the house too."

I left after speaking.

The moment she got up, Song Jianing seemed to smell a scent, and it disappeared in an instant.

It should be the incense used by Tan Xiangyu?

Song Jianing didn't think too much, looked at the top of his head, and persuaded Li Mulan uneasy: "Let's go in."

Li Mulan laughed at her as timid, but still accompanied Song Jianing to go. On the way back to the house, Song Jianing seemed to smell another scent of scent, and stopped to distinguish carefully, but there was nothing. Half an hour later, Li Mulan left. Song Jianing was about to take a nap, and when he untied the tuck on his body, he smelled the faint fragrance for the third time.

Song Jianing glanced at the tuck in his hand, inhaled his nose, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, and felt that the fragrance on the left shoulder was a little stronger, but there was nothing on the tuck.

Think about Tan Xiangyu sitting on her left under the locust tree, Song Jianing quickly relieved that the scent of Tan Xiangyu must have contaminated her scorpion. The faint fragrance is not unpleasant, but Song Jianing still called Zhen'er to wash her clothes, not happy that her clothes were stained with other people's incense.

After washing the clothes, Song Jianing forgot about it, but when she slept at night, Song Jianing was confused and suddenly felt a little itchy on her face. She scratched unconsciously, and her finger touched her left cheek, but it didn't feel right. Song Jianing didn't dare to use force, touched it again, and then woke up suddenly, sat up nervously, and called Zhen'er to light the lamp.

Zhener slept to death, came in after a while, lit the lamp with a fire-folder, walked to the tent with sleepy eyes, and was about to ask the master what was wrong, just so Song Jianing put down her hand and told her to see Song Jianing's original white and tender tofu There was a red rash on the left face like that, which looked very oozing!

Shocked Zhen'er, almost lost the light in her hand!

Song Jianing knew it without asking. He ran to the mirror in a panic, raised the bronze mirror and saw the red half of his face. Song Jianing's heart suddenly became cold. Knowing that she was not qualified to be a princess, Song Jianing didn't care about this draft at all, but which woman didn't care about her appearance? The good face suddenly becomes like this, can it be good?

Song Jianing burst into tears, put down the mirror, and cried out, covering his mouth.

~

Zhen'er reported the rash on Song Jianing's face to the female officer in charge overnight. The female officer came to inspect Song Jianing's injury in person, and then interrogated Song Jianing what she did yesterday, who she met, and whether there was anything unusual. Song Jianing sat on the bed with his head tilted, no longer crying, but the circles under his eyes were still red, and he confessed the day's things, including Tan Xiangyu and the incense.

"Where is that tatter?" the female officer asked keenly.

Song Jianing bit her lip. By now, she knew very well that her face was caused by Tan Xiangyu, but in the daytime she didn’t know, she didn’t know that Tan Xiangyu would use this method, and thought that the incense was just ordinary clothes incense, so she told Zhen'er to wash her disgustingly. Up. Now there is nothing to say...

After the female officer learned about it, she immediately took people to Tan Xiangyu's room and searched inside and out three times. No suspicious object was found. Tan Xiangyu acted as if she knew nothing, and the female officer could not say anything.

After dawn, the female officer reported the matter to Queen Li. Song Jianing is a girl from Weiguo Gongfu, and she is also the best girl in this year's show. Empress Li first sends an imperial physician to Song Jianing to see a doctor. If it is confirmed that Song Jianing’s face is caused by poison, she can catch Tan Xiangyu and others whom Song Jianing has contacted. Interrogate, otherwise...

As a result, the two imperial physicians took turns to diagnose Song Jianing's pulse, and they used it all through Wangwenwenqin. It was confirmed that Song Jianing was not poisoned and had a rash on her face. It was her physical problem.

All of a sudden, the possibility of Tan Xiangyu or Li Mulan being poisoned was ruled out.

The other girls are fine. Song Jianing is left in front of her. According to the estimation of the imperial physician, Song Jianing's rash will take at least half a month to return to normal. As long as it is carefully treated, it will never leave scars.

Song Jianing only breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Tan Xiangyu was poisoned or not, after leaving the palace, he can find a way to prove that the most important thing is that his face can recover.

She will raise her for half a month, but she will be selected for another ten days. Empress Li looked at Song Jianing’s other half of his face, regretfully comforting Song Jianing, and then ordered someone to send Song Jianing out of the palace and return to the country’s grandfather. The government recuperates, that is to say, Song Jianing does not have to continue to run for the princess. Song Jianing hadn't wanted to be, and accepted the arrangement calmly.

When I returned to the Guogong Mansion, I saw Song Jianing, his mother, who was 20 days away, wearing a drapery hat, and couldn't help crying again.

The daughter didn't need to be a side concubine for the prince, nor did he have to serve Emperor Xuande. Lin should have been happy, but when he thought that ninety-nine percent of his daughter's face was framed by Tan Xiangyu, Lin was itchy. Some things, no evidence, does not mean that everyone is a fool, but really believe that Tan Xiangyu is innocent.

The remarriage for three or four years is related to Guo Xiao. The Lin family has always been very cautious, trying to avoid conflicts with Guo Xiao, and has never said bad things about Guo Xiao or the Tan family in front of Guo Boyan. Now that her daughter was almost disfigured, Lin couldn't swallow that breath anymore, so she cried to Guo Boyan that night. Guo Boyan wanted to help his wife out, but the Tan family only left Aunt Tan's three. Tan Wenli has not yet been admitted to the Juren. He wants to suppress the Tan family in officialdom. He can't do anything to suppress the Tan family. Aunt Tan and Tan Xiangyu, two female generations, Guo Boyan are left. A dignified man, really can't do it.

"In the future, there is something in our house, so there is no need to post to the Tan family." Holding his wife, Guo Boyan only thought of this way.

Lin knew his difficulties and was able to sever ties with the Tan family, she was already content.

However, Lin did not expect that Guo Xiao would also apologize to her for this matter. He was on the side of her and his daughter. So far, Lin's anger had disappeared, and he only cared for his daughter wholeheartedly.

Guo Xiao was still worried, and arranged for Ashun to pay attention to the movement of the Shou Palace next door.

There was no movement from the Shou Palace, and Zhao Heng did not enter the palace until the day before the final election.

Emperor Xuande knew why his son had come, and said solemnly, "If the rash on her face can't get rid of, you also want to marry her?"

Zhao Hengyun was calm and calm, and nodded: "It's because of me." It was he who asked his father to give her marriage first, so that the father would relax her daughter's background, which caused her to enter the palace and was framed by the villain.

Emperor Xuande didn't expect his son to be such a gentleman, and couldn't help being silent. Song Jianing stayed in the palace for 20 days. Because it was the person his son wanted to marry, Emperor Xuande specifically ordered to go down. Someone reported Song Jianing's actions to him every three days. After observing for more than half a month, Song Jianing in the eyes of Emperor Xuande became an unparalleled, peaceful, honest, and unambitious innocent girl.

Such a girl is absolutely inappropriate to give to other sons, because it is not enough to serve as a good helper, but the third child is so quiet that he should be assigned a safe princess.

The only thing that Emperor Xuande was dissatisfied with was that Song Jianing was too stupid, and was easily hurt by others.

Emperor Xuande expressed his dissatisfaction and commented: "Simple mind, easy to suffer."

Zhao Heng said indifferently: "After marriage, I will protect her."

Emperor Xuande raised his eyebrows and noticed that his son had a faint sharpness. He pondered for a moment and nodded in response.

On the day of the final election, Emperor Xuande personally went to the middle palace of Empress Li, and appointed Guo Boyan's second daughter Jianing as Princess Shou, and Mulan, the eldest daughter of General Huwei's Mansion, as Princess Gong. The decree was passed to the Palace of Weiguo, and Song Jianing, wearing a curtain hat, was completely stupid. It was the wife who reminded her in a low voice before she returned to her senses, and took the sacred decree with her hands stiff.
