Chapter 25 Checklist

Just when Jiang Changning was looking at the beautiful ladies and guessing their identities, Xie Baoyin came over and said, "Sister Ning."

"Sister Yin." Jiang Changning smiled back at her, looking down, he found that her belt had been retied.

With how Xie Baoyin behaves, she must have prepared a purse.

But after stuffing his wallet, he was still being inspected.

In other words, she will be exempted from the physical examination, not because of her money.

Jiang Changning's eyebrows moved slightly, could this be what the Queen Mother meant?

The crisp sound of "pop" brought Jiang Changning back to his senses.

Jiang Changning turned around and saw that it was the tall girl who slapped a girl.

"Are you blind?" the tall girl asked sharply.

The girl who was beaten lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

"Is it okay to apologize? If I hadn't stood firm, I would have been knocked down by you. I don't know what the so-called things are, how can they be laughing and playing here?" The tall girl asked displeasedly.

The other girl next to me didn't know what she said. The tall girl became even more unhappy, "Is this your home? If you don't let people move around, I'm leaving. What's wrong?"

The tall girl was aggressive, and the three girls kept apologizing.

Others either didn't want to get involved, were afraid, or didn't know the truth, so they all chose to watch.

"Song Yirou, you've had enough. Do you need to be so unreasonable and unforgiving? You hit me, scolded me, and they apologized. What else do you want?" Zhao Xifang stepped forward and asked loudly.

Her voice was delicate, even though she was questioning someone, it was still soft and soft without any momentum.

"Oh, Zhao Xifang, you are pretending to be a good person again." Song Yirou said contemptuously.

"Song Yirou, don't go too far." Zhao Xifang frowned.

"She hit me, did I go too far?" Song Yirou sneered, "Zhao Xifang, your ability to confuse right and wrong is getting stronger and stronger."

"She bumped into you, but she has apologized to you. Do you need to hold on to this small matter? Can't you just let it go?"

"She bumped into me. I have the final say whether she can live with it or not. You don't have the final say."

Zhao Xifang wanted to say something else, but when she saw a nanny walking over, she said, "You are unreasonable." Then she turned and walked away.

"Who are you saying is unreasonable?" Song Yirou asked angrily.

"Don't make any noise." As soon as Mammy said something, even Song Yirou, who was so arrogant, shut up.

The back hall finally became quiet again, when Lu Xiujue was sent in by the palace maid with tears in her eyes.

That timid look is endearing.

Seeing this, Xie Baoyin asked with concern: "Juzi, what's wrong with you? But during the physical examination, grandma hurt you?"

Lu Xiujue shook his head, "It didn't hurt me."

"Then why are you crying?" Xie Baoyin asked puzzledly.

Lu Xiujue bit her lower lip, "I...I miss home."

"We can't go back now." Xie Baoyin looked gloomy. She also missed home, but after passing the primary election, she still had to participate in the re-election.

If she was detained and admitted to the palace, she would never have the chance to return home.

Xie Baoyin was not in the mood to speak anymore and remained silent. Jiang Changning and Lu Xiuju also did not speak.

Then Zhuang Qingyan and Zhuang Daoyue came in, and after a while Zhuang Qingchan also came in, but Zhuang Jushui was nowhere to be seen. She must have failed the primary election.

At early noon, today's primary elections ended.

More than half of the 300 show girls have been eliminated, and more than half of the more than 200 people will have to be eliminated tomorrow.

The leader of the group came over, asked the girls to line up, and took them out of the palace.

When I found the dealer's carriage, I found that Zhuang Jushui was already sitting in the carriage, his eyes were red, and he had obviously cried.

The six of them didn't know what to say, so they comforted her and got into the carriage in silence.

After a long time, Lu Xiujue suddenly said, "Of the seven people running for election, she is the only one who has not passed. It is inevitable that she will be sad."

Jiang Changning glanced at Lu Xiujue and didn't understand what she meant by saying this.

No one thought that Zhuang Jishui should not be sad.

Jiang Changning really didn't have the energy to think deeply. She was tired and hungry now.

I ate a piece of butterfly cake this morning and I'm so hungry now, even though there are snacks available in the palace.

But Aunt Peng had repeatedly warned her to be careful in her words and deeds in the palace and not to let down her guard at any time, so she didn't dare to eat snacks or even drink tea.

After getting off the carriage, she just wanted to go back to the yard quickly, fill her stomach and lie down.

But you still have to follow the etiquette rules and go to Mrs. Zhuang's yard to pay her respects.

Mrs. Zhuang saw the five people coming back and asked happily: "How was it?"

"It's all over." Zhuang Qingyan replied.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhuang's face was full of joy.

Three years ago, Zhuang Qingru also participated in the draft, but failed to pass the preliminary round and had to marry his second son who could not inherit the title.

Mrs. Zhuang asked them nonchalantly what happened during the draft.

Several people worked hard to answer her questions. Ms. Liao felt weak after listening to Jiang Changning's words, knowing that she was quite tired.

Ms. Liao had the courage to interrupt Old Mrs. Zhuang, "Old lady, the sisters have been in the palace for most of the day. Why don't we let them go back to rest first and wait until evening."

"There is no..." Mrs. Zhuang became unhappy and scolded her.

"Old lady, we'll come back to say hello to you in the evening." Jiang Changning said hurriedly.

Mr. Liao spoke for them, how could she watch her being scolded?

Xie Baoyin also said: "Old lady, if nothing happens, we will leave first."

"Then you go back to your room and rest first." Mrs. Zhuang then let them go.

Back in the yard, the chicken porridge has been cooked and served with refreshing sour water radish.

Jiang Changning ate two bowls at once, cleaned his face, loosened his hair, and went to bed to sleep.

She fell into a deep sleep, and when she woke up, it was almost midnight.

The sun has set in the west, and the heat on the earth has subsided slightly.

Jiang Changning redressed and took his maid to Mrs. Zhuang's place to eat Yanshi.

The next day, the second batch of show girls also participated in the primary election.

After letting these show girls rest for a day, the selection process begins.

A total of 286 beautiful ladies participated in the re-election, and they entered the palace in groups of ten.

When Jiang Changning entered the palace, he found a large bluestone slab in front of him, with white jade powder sprinkled on it.

"Go up to the board and spin around," the waiter said.

The ten beautiful ladies did as they were told, turned in a circle, and walked off the board.

A nun came over to look at her and said, "Swaying gracefully, walking like lotus flowers, passing by."

A total of five people from Jiang Changning's group passed through, and they were taken into the side hall.

There are embroidered bamboo slips placed in the hall, and this test is about the beauty of the beautiful women.

It’s not about choosing an embroiderer. It doesn’t require the superb skills of the showgirls. It only depends on whether the stitches are dense and neat.

The beautiful lady can choose to make a purse or lock the edge of the veil.

Jiang Changning was too lazy to think of a suitable pattern and directly chose the side of the handkerchief.

While Jiang Changning was working hard on being a female celebrity, the Emperor and Prince Jin were playing chess in the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor holds black stones, and the king of Jin holds white stones.

The chess pieces are densely packed on the chessboard.

Judging from the situation, they are evenly matched, and the winner has not yet been determined.

We haven’t got married yet, so don’t rush. Changing the cover is a personal preference. I still prefer red.
