On the second day of February in the thirty-first year of Kangxi's reign, it arrived as scheduled.

This day was the day when families from the Eight Banners in Manchuria, with daughters of the right age, entered the palace to participate in the draft. At a quarter of an hour, the children of the Eight Banners, ranging from dignitaries to ordinary bannermen, all began to get busy.

Two-quarters of an hour later, at half past Yin hour, the carriages of wealthy families and the mule carts of ordinary bannermen's families rumbled, and the show girls entering the palace to participate in the talent show drove slowly towards the Xihua Gate of the palace.

The women embarked on the journey of the draft with the expectations of their families and beautiful fantasies about the future.

In Nala's house, because there were three concubines and four daughters entering the palace to participate in the draft, the lights in Nala's house were brightly lit early in the morning, and the servants were walking and running around. At about a quarter of Yinshi, Qingyi was distracted by the noise outside.

I woke up, listening to the bustling sounds outside, and sighed in my heart that entering the palace draft is also a hard job!

The show girls entering the palace must wait at the Xihua Gate of the palace at half past Chenshi. Those who are closer to the palace are better off and can leave a little later, while those who are far away from the palace may have to go out in the middle of the night.

, can't we arrive outside Xihua Gate until chen hour?

Some families from other places may even set off days or even months in advance just to enter the palace draft, fly up a branch and become a phoenix, bringing glory and wealth to the family...

At this moment, Qingyi was extremely happy in her heart. She was lucky that she didn't have to get out of the warm bed and brave the harsh spring cold. She went to wait outside the Xihua Gate of the palace early, and then went into the palace to let people pick and choose.

"Forsythia... Forsythia..." She cleared her throat and called the maid, Forsythia, who was keeping watch outside, one of the two personal maids beside her.

There was nothing she could do about it. The Magnolia Garden where she lived now was separated by a wall from the corridor in the mansion. With the servants coming and going in the corridor, she really couldn't sleep, so she simply stopped sleeping!

Anyway, during the day, in addition to learning the palace rules, she practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she was really sleepy, she could talk to Sister Wusuli, Sister Lin, and take a nap or something.

Scattered sounds came from outside. After a while, candles were lit in her boudoir, illuminating the whole room as brightly as day. Forsythia, one of the personal maids, and two little maids, carried a

Toiletries, waiting for her to wash and change clothes.

Qingyi got up from the golden silk bed and was served by several maids. After cleaning her face, she put on a fine snow satin lining and sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her bright eyes in the dim brass mirror.

A face with white teeth and a charming smile.

She could never get tired of looking at this face. Even though she was a woman, she couldn't help but sit in front of the bronze mirror and look at it once or twice every day...

Everyone has a love for beauty. She was a beautiful woman in her previous life. Now she was sent to her by the messenger of the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, she was half the age, and her body was that of a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth.

Beauty.

In addition, after all, she earned the golden finger that the Qing Wen Envoy arranged for her...

The maid Lian Qiao whispered behind Qing Yi and asked in a low voice: "Gege, what kind of bun should you wear today?"

My own princess has changed since she got sick. She doesn't like complicated buns, but likes simple and refreshing ones. As the maid next to Princess, she always can't figure it out. She always has to ask Princess about it before she can do it.

Make a decision.

Today is the second day of February. It was supposed to be the day when Gege entered the palace to participate in the draft. However, Gege was given an imperial edict by the emperor early and was given a marriage to Si Age as his direct descendant. She did not have to enter the palace to participate in the draft. Therefore, she did not know how to stand for Gege today.

What kind of bun is suitable for your hair? A small two-bundle bun? A two-bundle bun, a one-word bun, a straight bun, or a snowfield pine bun?

"Today is the second day of February. It's a good day. Let's wear a new bun! How about Chunmei's two buns?" Manchu girls in the Qing Dynasty only had a few choices for their buns, and the others were either illegal or inappropriate.

She is not qualified for her current status, and she said she is very tired.

She has a big shelf on her head, and she finds it difficult to accept it, so these days, her hairstyles are small buns, double buns, one-word buns, or snowfield pine buns. She tries to choose simple and refreshing hairstyles.

Come.

Today, the second day of February, is commonly known as the day when the dragon raises its head. She decided to change her hair into a bun that she had never tried before. Although Chunmei's two-bundled bun was also one of the two bunned buns, it had some differences.

The maid Forsythia nodded, and quickly combed Qingyi's hair with a spring plum blossom, and paired it with a white jade tassel hairpin, adding a bit of charm as she walked. Qingyi liked it very much, and rewarded the maid Forsythia with some money.

, changed into a moon-white casual clothes.

She tilted her head and took a nap for a moment. The sky was bright and bright. Qingyi took the maids with a smile and headed towards the hall of Nala Mansion to visit Ama Feiyanggu and her stepmother Jueluo...

.

At chen hour, many carriages or mule carriages were waiting outside the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City. Girls from each family who were about to enter the palace were waiting eagerly on their carriages or mule carriages.

The Xihua Gate opened with a creak, and three or four eunuchs hurriedly came out of the Xihua Gate. One of the eunuchs, obviously the leader, was holding a roll of bright yellow silk in his hand, and he quickly approached Xihua with his eyes.

Searching the carriage at the door, the leading eunuch's eyes lit up soon after, and he quickly came to the carriage with the Tong family's logo on it. He said with a respectful expression: "On the carriage is Tong, the eldest daughter of Luan Yi's family, Ye Keshu.

Family princess?"

The appearance of the leading eunuch, who also searched the carriage outside Xihua Gate, was unusual. At this moment, he came to the carriage of the Tong family and asked with a low eyebrow, which immediately angered many attendants of the Eight Banners family.

The maids paid attention and reported the news to the princesses of each family early.

"What's the matter, father-in-law? My father is Ye Keshu, the envoy of Luan Yi..." Not long after, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old with a butterfly hair came out of the carriage and half-kneeled to salute the leading eunuch.

, replied softly.

Why did the father-in-law in the palace suddenly arrive and mention her father? What does this mean?

When the leading eunuch realized that he had found the right person, he shouted in a sharp voice: "Luan Yi sent Tong Jia, the eldest daughter of Ye Keshu, to accept the order!"

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. I am very pleased to hear that Tong Jia, the eldest daughter of Luan Yi's envoy Ye Keshu, is skillful, generous, and outstanding in appearance. I will specially give Tong Jia to the fourth elder brother as a side blessing, and we will choose a good time and auspicious day to get married.

, admire this!”

The leading eunuch's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly outside Xihua Gate.

The eldest daughter of Ye Keshu, the fourteen-year-old Tong Jialanxin, knelt down in confusion and accepted the imperial edict. Then, under the congratulations of the sisters of the same clan, she returned home without even entering the palace draft...
