The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

  Chapter 54 055: What a coincidence, I bumped into someone!

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update

  The eldest lady is planning for her so much, if she loses the election and goes back, she will probably be very disappointed.

  Song Yexi looked at Song Yunzhao with a strange expression, thought she was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's just a little favor from my mother. I didn't give it to you earlier because I was afraid of causing trouble for you. This golden hairpin was made by a famous craftsman in the capital. It is just right for you."

  Song Yunzhao felt that this brocade box weighed a thousand catties, she looked at Song Yexi, "Sister Xi, I can't take this, I have prepared things myself, don't worry."

   "Take it, a beauty like you should wear such jewelry, it would be useless for me." Song Yexi left the brocade box behind, "You should rest early and recharge your spirits, tomorrow will be the last show."

   Song Yunzhao didn't have time to refuse, Song Yexi ran away.

  She didn't open the brocade box, picked it up and put it in front of the dressing table, and lay down after washing.

  Just tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, she couldn't help being a little upset. She always felt that things seemed to be off track, but she didn't know how to get it right.

   She was in a daze, and she didn't know when she fell asleep. When she heard Yiyue calling her to get up, she opened her eyes in a daze.

   "It's rare to see a girl getting up late, so get up quickly, don't miss the hour." Yi Yue swiftly poured water into the copper basin, took the clothes and helped Song Yunzhao put them on.

  Song Yunzhao had chosen his clothes a long time ago, a light yellow pleated skirt, a peach red narrow-sleeved blouse on the upper body, and light green half-arms on the outside.

  Yiyue sized her up and said hesitantly: "Miss Song, I see that you still have a blue dress, so you might as well wear that."

  Song Yunzhao shook his head, and stretched out the light green half arm on the glove, she just wanted such a tacky outfit.

  Yiyue wanted to persuade her, but after half of her arm was put on, she suddenly stopped talking.

  Red and green are very tacky for others to wear, but Miss Song has creamy skin, a high nose and red lips, and a pair of bright eyes. Such a tacky color can be worn by her with a different kind of beauty.

   No wonder Miss Song chose this outfit, it really looks good.

   "Shall I give the girl a new hairstyle?" Yi Yue said with a smile.

   "Don't bother..."

   "How can this be troublesome? It's what a maidservant should do." Yiyue picked up the comb and combed her hair slowly. The jet-black hair was smoothed to the end, and it seemed that it was well-maintained on weekdays, and it was black with luster.

   "What bun?" Song Yunzhao asked casually because he couldn't refuse Yiyue's wishes.

   "Shock bun, girl, have you heard of it? It has only flourished recently, and it is very beautiful."

  Stunned bun?

   Is that the bun shaped like a bird flapping its wings?

  She thought about it, and the picture was too beautiful to dare to look at it.

  The shoddy costume drama makeup and hair of later generations left her a lot of shadows. She has seen this bun before, it looks like the wings of an airplane, it is really ugly.

  Although she is beautiful, she still can't handle it like this.

  With such hesitation, Yiyue's dexterous hands have already braided strands of her hair, and the bun is slowly forming. I don't know how Yiyue did it. It looks like an airplane wing, but it's so beautiful just to let people look at it?

  Song Yunzhao looked at the brocade box that Song Yexi gave her, and opened it after thinking about it. On the red brocade lay a red gold butterfly hairpin inlaid with jewels. The body of the butterfly was supported by gold silk, and a ruby ​​was embedded on it. Two rubies and two tourmalines were embedded on the wings of the butterfly. The butterfly's whiskers were made of pearls.

  Butterfly hairpins are common, but it’s the first time I’ve seen such an exquisite and unique one.

   "Girl, this hairpin is really beautiful. Let me put it on for you. It will look good on you." Yiyue's eyes lit up, and the pair of butterfly beards were so exquisitely made, which is rare in the palace.

   Song Yunzhao handed it over, and Song Yexi must be staring at her, she is not willing to disappoint her aunt's wishes.

  Yiyue picked out a pair of unique lantern earrings from Song Yunzhao's jewelry, two silver jade rabbits holding fairy grass on her temples, and looked carefully. Miss Song was born delicate and charming, so it's not easy to wear too many jewelry, but it's cumbersome.

   Song Yunzhao took a look in the mirror, and was a little dazed for a while. Yiyue's craftsmanship is too good.

  Yiyue looked at Miss Song and couldn't help but smile, "Girl, are you satisfied?"

   Actually not very satisfied, she wanted to lower her appearance a bit.

  However, things seem to be reversed.

  The little palace maid smiled so happily, Song Yunzhao didn't want to hurt others, so he smiled and said: "Your hands are very skillful and beautiful."

  Yiyue's eyes lit up, "The maidservant learned from Mammy who combed her hair, but it's a pity that she went out of the palace to take care of her after a short time."

  Song Yunzhao could hear the melancholy in Yiyue's words, and presumably she had a good relationship with that hair-combing nun.

   Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Yiyue hurriedly went to open the door, it was Song Yexi who came.

  Yiyue bowed and retreated. Song Yexi walked in directly. When she looked up and saw Song Yunzhao, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Why are you wearing this? Don't tell me, it looks so good."

  Song Yunzhao:…

   "I think it looks good too." Song Yunzhao squeezed out a smile.

   "Let's go, the time is coming soon." Saying that, he glanced at the hairpin in Yun Zhao's hair again, and nodded in satisfaction.

  Song Yunzhao followed them out with a grim face. As soon as they went out, the opposite door opened.

  Qin Xiyue and Lu Zhixue came out one after another, just in time to meet Sister Yun Zhao.

  The four of them walked towards each other. When Lu Zhixue saw Song Yunzhao, his expression changed slightly, with a bit of disdain on his face.

  Song Yunzhao didn't bother to talk to her, nodded slightly to Qin Xiyue as a greeting, and left with Song Yexi.

  Song Yexi said to Song Yunzhao in a low voice: "That girl Lu is really arrogant, who is she looking down on?"

   "Don't pay attention to her, she just dares to stare at people anyway."

  Song Yexi was amused by Yun Zhao's words, "Let's go."

  Looking at the backs of the Song sisters in front, Lu Zhixue said to Qin Xiyue, "It's a shame she dared to wear red and green. She is indeed from the Xiao family. It's very vulgar."

  Qin Xiyue glanced at Lu Zhixue after hearing the words, and said slowly: "I see that Miss Song looks good in clothes, and red and green can be worn by anyone. Miss Song's face can be suppressed, but it makes her even more brilliant."

  Lu Zhixue looked at Qin Xiyue, "Why do you always speak for her? She gave you some enchanting soup."

   "Zhixue, you have a bit of prejudice against Miss Song. There is no dispute between her and you, so why bother targeting her."

   "There is no dispute? You really like to joke. If she is selected, do you think it will be a big danger to us?" Lu Zhixue looked at Qin Xiyue, she didn't believe that Qin Xiyue really didn't care at all.

  Qin Xiyue was displeased with Shanglu Zhixue, so she said to her: "If you say that, then there are so many beauties in the palace, is it possible that you want to compare them all?"

  Beauty is never the most important thing to survive in the harem, Qin Xiyue saw that Lu Zhixue hadn't enlightened yet, and couldn't help shaking her head slightly.

  Lu Zhixue snorted, and she didn't believe it. There is no such thing as a lewd man in this world. Your Majesty is also a man, and it's the same when he sees a beautiful woman.

  Qin Xiyue is still putting on airs, thinking that she can overwhelm others with her full belly of talent, and she will cry sometimes in the future.

  What's the use of reading a lot, sometimes it's really not as important as a face.

   Neither of them could convince the other, and Qin Xiyue didn't want to start a dispute with Lu Zhixue, so she stepped back and said with a smile: "Let's go too, do you see Yun Jin and Jin Yi in front?"

   Lu Zhixue saw that there were really two people, so she followed Qin Xiyue to catch up.

  The four of them walked side by side. Lu Zhixue glanced at Han Jinyi, and saw that she was listening to Feng Yunjin's words. She felt bored for a while, so she didn't speak, and just followed them.

  This time they still gathered at the Qiushui Pavilion, and everyone was working hard. Song Yunzhao looked it over and found that only less than half of the people were left at the end.

  In addition to her cousin Song Yexi, there is another pair of sisters, but today only the younger sister is left. The older sister is also one of the few people who fell from the Foxiang Pavilion yesterday. She injured her leg and couldn't participate in the election. She also left the palace this morning.

   There is another pair of cousins, and today there is only one left.

  Song Yunzhao thought it was funny, there were many brothers and sisters in the family, but there were only so many resources, sibling rivalry was unavoidable.

   It seems that she broke up with Song Qinghan after entering the palace, because she didn't want Song Qinghan to frame her by doing anything in the name of her sister.

  The other two pairs of sisters have never heard of any disputes, but at the last step, what should be done still has to be done, and the result is not the same.

  Whoever is ruthless can stay.

  The late emperor had so many sons, and they were killed, wounded, and disabled for the sake of the throne. Otherwise, how could your majesty be the most unfavored son of the late emperor to ascend to the throne of God.

   Moreover, is their Majesty really picking up the loopholes?

   Not necessarily.

  Although it is not clearly written in the book, how can the emperor who can sit on the throne of God and wrestle with his courtiers be a little white rabbit, or a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing.

   "Yun Zhao..."

  Song Yunzhao was pulled back from his thoughts by Song Yexi's voice, she looked sideways at her, and heard her say in a low voice: "I heard from Miss Ye that His Majesty will also go today."

  Song Yunzhao made a look of surprise, "Really?"

  It was written in the book that the emperor looked it up, of course she knew, but Song Yexi couldn't be suspicious, otherwise she wouldn't be able to answer when Song Yexi asked her where the news came from.

   "Yeah, I'm a little nervous." Song Yexi hadn't been so nervous before, but when he thought of seeing His Majesty, he felt a little bad.

  Song Yunzhao became a little nervous after realizing it. This is the same as seeing the top leader of the country in later generations. Even if she time-traveled, she still couldn't get rid of this physiological tension.

   "Are you all ready, girls? Five people are in a row, arranged in order, and when you read it, you will enter one by one, and there will be an attendant outside the hall door to call your name according to the list. Now, I will read the names in order and stand in order..."

  Nurse Su took the roster and began to roll the roll. Five people formed a team and arranged in order.

  Song Yexi and Song Yunzhao separated. She was called first and stood in the third row. There was Lu Zhixue in her row.

  Afterwards, Qin Xiyue was also called by name, just behind Lu Zhixue in the row, and Feng Yunjin was in the same row with Qin Xiyue.

  Han Jinyi and Fan Qingru entered the queue one by one, and Song Yunzhao waited until the last row to hear his name.

  She felt the deep malice from Nanny Su, and put her in the last row. By that time, both the emperor and the third concubine were already very tired, so there was no such thing as a beauty pageant.

   However, this is exactly what she wants.

   Everyone marched in line, Song Yunzhao was not familiar with the other four people, and no one else wanted to talk to her, so she followed the team in silence.

  From Qiushui Pavilion all the way to Huayang Hall, it took a full quarter of an hour to arrive at the place. Huayang Hall is a place to read. It is different from Zhichun Palace. Zhichun Palace is more graceful and beautiful, but Huayang Palace is very spacious and magnificent. Outside the hall, there are maids and servants lined up at two ends, which makes people feel oppressive for no reason.

  Song Yunzhao stopped with the team, and stood straight in the sun with her shoulders straight. She only felt that the sun was a bit dazzling, and she lowered her eyes slightly to avoid the light.

  The nuns of Zhichun Palace only left Nanny Zhang to watch them, while Nanny Yin and Nanny Su hurried to the hall.

  Time passed by, and there were faint beads of sweat on her forehead. She saw someone quietly wiping the sweat with a handkerchief, moving very quickly, for fear of being seen.

  Standing here on such a hot day, the powder on my face can't stand the washing of sweat beads, and there were no waterproof and sweatproof cosmetics in ancient times. If you don't wipe it secretly, you will become a little face after a long time. What else do you choose, just go home.

   There are many ways of drafting, but it is written in the book that the last row is Qin Xiyue, and the reason why she waited so long is because Concubine Shu and others did it on purpose to make her lose face in front of His Majesty.

  Thinking of this, Song Yunzhao was in a bad mood, did she cover for the heroine again?

  Song Yunzhao also took a handkerchief and secretly wiped her face. It was really hot. Fortunately, she had been prepared for it. There was only a thin layer of powder on her face, even if it was really worn, she would not be too ugly.

   It took a long time for a stick of incense before he heard the voice of a servant shouting to start reading. Song Yunzhao raised his head and saw the beautiful girls in the first row stepping up the steps towards the hall.

   Someone came out in less than a cup of tea. She counted the number of people, but there was no one left?

   Apparently, the news that the entire army in the first row was wiped out today made the show girls in the second row tense up. When stepping on the steps, a show girl almost tripped, but the people around her helped her to stand still.

  It took a little longer this time, and when they came out, there were only four people, and it seemed that one was left behind.

   Song Yexi and the others arrived in the third row. Song Yunzhao watched Song Yexi enter the hall, and he could see that her shoulders were straight and a little too tense, but Lu Zhixue beside her looked relaxed.

   Time passed by, and Song Yunzhao felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. She stared at the door of the palace closely. When the door opened, she saw Song Yexi coming out. Only Lu Zhixue was left in their row.

  Song Yexi and others could not stay, but had to leave first with the court lady. Before leaving, Song Yexi looked in Song Yunzhao's direction and showed her a big smile.

  Song Yunzhao also smiled. It seems that losing the election did not hurt Song Yexi, so she was slightly relieved.

   Row after row of people entered the hall, and the people left in each row were different. Soon it was Qin Xiyue's turn, and she was indeed left behind.

  Han Jinyi, Feng Yunjin, and Fan Qingru were also left behind, exactly the same as in the book.

  The sun was already approaching noon, and Song Yunzhao waited until the hottest time in the row. Even wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief was not very effective. She even heard the voice of the girl beside her choking slightly, and couldn't help sighing.

  Finally hearing their names, Song Yunzhao and the others stepped up the stone steps and walked into the palace gate step by step.

  The door of the palace opened, stepped on the threshold, and followed the guidance of the servants to go forward and salute.

   "The courtiers pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor. Greetings to all the empresses, empress Jin'an."

   These were all taught by the nanny in charge, Song Yunzhao squatted down and saluted along with the figures of the crowd.

   "Exemption from courtesy, flat life."

   Song Yunzhao was startled when he heard this voice, and then felt his scalp tighten. Why is it so familiar?

  The nervousness, the heat, and the smudged makeup are all thrown away, so there is no need to worry about it.

   "Keep your head up."

  Song Yunzhao heard a soft voice, and felt that the people around her raised their heads, so she also raised their heads, but couldn't help but look up.

   And then... there is no more.

  Who did she see?

   Song Yunzhao's mind went blank for a moment!

  Folding fan boy?

emperor!

   Did she break some dimensional wall?

   Is she dazzled?

  Song Yunzhao calmed himself down immediately, and before she could come up with a countermeasure, he listened to the woman who had spoken before and said again: "I have heard that there is a girl with a very outstanding appearance in this year's show girls, Your Majesty, do you think so?"

  Feng Yi's eyes fell on Song Yunzhao, and saw that although she was trying to stay calm, those eyes still leaked a little bit of thought. He sat up slightly, pretending to be very interested, and then said with a smile: "What Aifei said is very true, Song Yunzhao...the name is also very good."

  Song Yunzhao is irritable online, who knows what's going on?

  Suppressing the steaming thoughts that were about to explode, she tried her best not to show anything wrong. When the emperor called her name, she bowed her head shyly.

  Feng Yi:...

   Pretty good at pretending.

   Concubine Shu's eyes turned around Song Yunzhao, and finally turned her head to look at Concubine Zhuang, and said with a smile, "Concubine Zhuang, what do you think of Miss Song?"

   Concubine Zhuang heard that her fair fingers slid across the armor, and her eyes fell on Song Yunzhao, but she had a very soft smile on her face, "Miss Song and the Miss Song in front are cousins?"

   Song Yunzhao listened to Concubine Zhuang's question, but didn't raise his head to look at it, so he said, "Go back to your mother's words, yes."

   "Oh, it's rare for cousins ​​to run together." Concubine Zhuang turned her head and said with a smile to Concubine Shu.

   Concubine Shu nodded in agreement, "That's right, although there is an old practice of sisters running for the election, it's the first time I've seen you in this palace, so I can't help but feel a little strange. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

  Feng Yi smiled, but did not speak, but kept staring at Song Yunzhao.

   Concubine Shu felt a little unhappy when she saw it, and her eyes fell on Song Yunzhao, "Miss Song, do you know that your cousin lost the election? Do you think you will be elected?"

  Song Yunzhao sensed Concubine Shu's malice towards her. If this is the case, can she, a beautiful girl, answer it?

   This is deliberately embarrassing her.

  Song Yunzhao raised his head and looked at Concubine Shu. According to the book, Concubine Shu is the most beautiful among the concubines in the harem. She is a jealous little girl in front of the emperor, and she takes a straightforward and careless route.

  It’s the kind of character design that I’m talking straight to you.

   Under the banner of being outspoken and careless, what they did was to block people's hearts and then insert a knife.

  Oh, what a coincidence, I bumped into her.

  Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Shu seriously, "Returning to the words of the empress, the unselected show girl came out of the palace gate, not just me, we all can see it. As for whether she will be selected, how dare the ministers dare to speak out and do anything to speculate on the king's heart."

  Feng Yi was very happy when he heard this, everyone could see the sentence, it was just turning a corner and scolding Concubine Shu for talking nonsense.

   Guess your heart?

   This is turning a corner and saying that Concubine Shu wants to pry into his mind, and she is suing secretly.

   Concubine Shu was choked up by Xiao Xiao, her face changed again and again, and she snorted and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is very good at talking when she sees this Song girl. The sisters in the palace are all gentle and soft-tempered, I am afraid it will be too much."

  Feng Yi smiled lightly, raised his eyes and looked to the other side, "Concubine Zhuang, what do you think?"

  Hearing His Majesty asking Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Shu had a bad feeling.

   "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks Miss Song's temperament is funny. I liked her immediately when I saw her. If she can stay, the palace will be quite lively."

  Concubine Wan, who had been silent all this time, looked up at Concubine Shu, her expression tensed, and she sneered in her heart, then she looked at Concubine Zhuang who pretended to be virtuous and considerate, and finally at Song Yunzhao standing in the hall.

   Song Yunzhao listened to the conversation of the above-mentioned people, and felt that the direction of the matter was not right. Mr. Folding Fan... no, it should be that when His Majesty was outside the palace, he didn't have any other thoughts about her. Why do he act like he has a lot of thoughts about her now?

   At this moment, her defense radar screamed, and she suddenly remembered that the heroine in the book was a harem cleaner for the emperor.

  The heroine is willing to work hard, but she doesn't want to.

  Song Yunzhao's mind was spinning fast, what should I do?

   They met outside the palace a few times at least, and they were kind of in love. The emperor couldn't be so ruthless and push her into the maelstrom of the harem.

  Song Yunzhao was so anxious that he couldn't care less, he raised his head and looked at the emperor.

  Feng Yi noticed that Song Yunzhao was looking at him, and immediately looked away at Concubine Wan, and said with a smile, "Concubine Wan, what do you think?"

   "Your Majesty, the concubine has no idea, as long as you think it's good." Concubine Wan spoke slowly, with an appearance of respecting the emperor.

  Song Yunzhao's face tensed up, but Concubine Shu was a little bit stronger and brushed her off!

   "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Miss Song was at odds with her sisters at home and often had disputes. I am really worried that if she remains in the election, how will she get along with everyone in the palace in the future?" Concubine Shu looked at Her Majesty, although she had a smile on her face, her words were sharp.
