The Gai family had a girl who had just grown up. She was slim and elegant, elegant and virtuous.
In the spring of the palace women's talent show, it was hard for parents to part with a girl's heart.
Kang Xi for five years.
”Master, why are you sighing?” Gai asked her husband in confusion.
”Ah, Madam, please let your daughter prepare for this year's palace ladies' talent show in a few days' time. Rong'er will be on this year's list.”
”Ah?” What? Master, you mean your daughter wants to be a slave in the palace? ” Hearing this, Madam Gai's face was filled with worry.
”Mm. Madam, don't worry too much. Perhaps you won't be able to pick one. This palace maid isn't someone you can pick as you wish.”
”But what if … what if he's chosen? What would Rong'er do then?” As she spoke, Madam Gai's eyes began to turn red.
”Well, madame, it's all life. Let's wait for Rong'er's life. Can we disobey the decree? ”Well, go and talk to your daughter, talk to her, don't burden her.” Gaoshan said helplessly.
In the small house in the backyard.
”Miss, the lotus that you embroidered is really beautiful.” The maid Xiao Yu stood beside a beautiful young lady dressed in green who was focused on embroidery. The young woman smiled gently but did not say anything, but the young woman's face was like a full moon, clear and elegant, with black hair flowing down her shoulders, two strands of black hair falling onto her chest. Her smiling eyes were focused on the embroidery on her hands, while her two hands were elegantly moving on the embroidery.
”Rong'er …” A soft call sounded out from outside the door. The woman called Rong'er turned around and smiled sweetly, ”Madam, you've come.”
”That's right, Rong'er. Come, let's put down the work you're doing first. I have something to talk to you about.” As she spoke, Mrs. Gai slowly walked over to Gai Rong'er and sat beside her.
He put the embroidery on the table and smiled at her mother. ”Mother, what do you want to say?”
”Rong'er, you're 14 this year, and your daughter is older. You know that our family is covered by the yellow flag, and according to the rules of our Wang family, the Baoyi family has to participate in the palace's female selection ceremony at the age of 13 every year. You were sick last year, so you avoided it, but this year you are definitely going to the palace to serve the emperor, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine. This is also an honor.” Even though she said that, the corners of Madam Gai's eyes still turned red. She paused for a moment before feigning calmness as she said, ”If only … What if … Fortunately, the Lord has taken a fancy to her, so she might be able to be her master. If … ”If the emperor doesn't like it, he can still come back home at the age of 25 …” Madam Gai knew clearly in her heart that these were just words of comfort, so she couldn't help but tear up.
”Huh?” The maid at the side, Xiao Yu, cried out in alarm, ”Madam, if the young lady were to choose one, wouldn't she be gone for more than ten years?”
”This …” When Xiao Yu reached the sore spot of Madam Gai, her tears also increased. She took Gayong's hand and said, ”Daughter, you told me to prepare you. I can't bear to see you suffer, but this is an imperial order and I can't disobey it.
”Mother, don't cry. Didn't you say it? If you could enter the palace to serve the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine, that would be your daughter's fortune. Also, your daughter might not have such luck.”
