Xu Shu understood that even without her, the queen would not have gone so early. She had to do this to examine the character of those beautiful girls.

The queen was not in a hurry at all, and even ordered someone to prepare refreshments for food. After an hour, the queen said, "It's almost time, let's go! Madam Yuan, bring a few more stoves!"

Xu Shu was also curious about what the queen asked Madam Yuan to bring the stove to do, but she only found out the reason when she arrived at Yirenxuan.

Yirenxuan is a yard with three main rooms. The yard is large and there are no wing rooms. The wing rooms on both sides are replaced with veranda with flower windows. In winter weather, the biting cold wind blows into the yard from the hollow of the flower windows. The space of the main room is limited and cannot accommodate so many beautiful girls. Therefore, all the beautiful girls stand in the yard to wait. There are no earth dragons in the yard, and only four stoves are placed around the yard. However, the cold wind whistles, and the heat emitted by the four stoves cannot provide enough heat at all. The beautiful girls in the yard stand in the yard for an hour, and they are trembling with coldness. They want to move, warm and warm, but a nanny looks at it, and can only stand honestly and dare not move for a moment.

I didn't hear a sound until I was about to freeze, "The Queen is here!"

The girls were as if they were granted a general amnesty and kowtowed, "See the Queen, the Queen, the Queen, thousands of years old!" They secretly moved their stiff limbs while kneeling down and kowtowing.

"All up!"

The queen led Xu Shu to sit in the main room. The stove in her own room was warm as spring. Compared with the shivering girl wearing thin clothes in the yard, Xu Shu suddenly felt glad that she was not one of the people standing in the yard and was afraid of the cold.

"Report to the Empress, everyone has arrived, a total of thirty people. The list is here. Please check it out!" The nanny instructed to hand it over to the list.

Madam Yuan took the hand to the Empress. While flipping over, the Empress said to Xu Shu, "Look at it too!"

Xu Shu looked sideways and saw many acquaintances in this look!

Chang Peipei and Cai Zhenzhen are all on the list.

The Empress paused when she saw Xu Shu's expression and asked, "Do you know anyone?"

Xu Shu nodded and pointed to the names of the two, "Chang Peipei is the eldest daughter of the Xu family's aunt. Because she is widowed and unable to tolerate the Chang family, she returned to her parents' home! Cai Zhenzhen is... the sister-in-law's sister!"

The Empress also knew about the Cai family, so she had no good feelings for Cai Zhenzhen. She frowned and turned a page. There were even an acquaintance on this page. Then she thought that it might be just the same name, so she didn't say much.

"I originally planned to choose a few who stayed for me if there were outstanding people. I haven't seen any new faces in the palace for a long time! I never thought they were all..." The queen closed the roster, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled coldly, and did not hide her dislike for the girls standing in the yard.

Madam Yuan said, "Of course this is not as good as a serious talent show. She is just a innocent woman!"

"Just be honest, I'm afraid that I can't get innocence!" The queen put down the roster heavily.

Madam Yuan was stunned, "The thirty selected people were all verified by the most experienced old maid in the palace. How could it be...how could it be..."

The queen did not explain, "Okay, call the person in and have a look!"

"Yes!" Madam Yuan hurriedly went to arrange it. Five people were invited to the house one by one, and stood in the order on the roster.

"Empress, blessings, Jin'an!" The girls bowed together, their voices trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or because of fear.

"Everyone raises his head and takes a look, let the Queen see your face!"

With Madam Yuan's order, all the girls raised up, either shy, timid, or nervous, but they all showed extreme softness.

The queen swept over one by one, and Madam Yuan quickly handed over the list and the red pen. The queen left red vermilion on the two names, and Madam Yuan quickly asked to replace the next batch.

Cai Zhenzhen and Chang Peipei both came up in this group, probably because Xu Shu explained Chang Peipei's life experience. The queen's eyes stayed on Chang Peipei for a while. Madam Yuan thought that the queen had taken a fancy to this person, so she hurriedly handed it on the list, but she didn't expect that the queen did not leave this person, but another person was left behind.

Xu Shu looked at it and saw that the name of Hongzhu was Cai Zhenzhen, and she was also surprised. From the queen's attitude just now, it can be seen that the queen did not like Cai Zhenzhen, but why did the queen still leave Cai Zhenzhen? Moreover, in terms of appearance, Cai Zhenzhen is not the most outstanding among these people!

The queen took advantage of the fact that the person left and smiled at Xu Shu, "Are you curious about why Cai Zhenzhen left behind in this palace?"

"Yes..." Xu Shu nodded.

"Actually it's very simple. Don't think too much. I really don't like the Cai family very much. Cai Zhenzhen's eyes are too restless. However, this talent show is to create branches and leaves for the royal family, so just look at the face and body shape and think that this woman is easy to give birth to, and nothing else is important!"

So Cai Zhenzhen is better than her body, but Cai Zhenzhen's temperament...who will be unlucky when she is assigned to her family...

After changing in batches, the last group finally arrived. Xu Shu stared at one of them and looked at it until she spoke to pay tribute. Xu Shu didn't hear any familiarity. Thinking about it now, the Wang family's granddaughter was still so young at that time, and her voice would change when she grew up.

However, Xu Shu heard another acquaintance when she asked her for help!

Autumn rhyme!

Xu Yan’s confidant maid!

How could Xu Yan's maid come to participate in the talent show? How could she participate in the talent show?

The queen's eyes also fell on Qiuyun and suddenly asked, "Hu Qiuyun?"

"...The girl is here!" Qiu Yun was suddenly named, and her nerves were tense.

The queen looked at Qiu Yun slowly, and kept seeing Qiu Yun's calves becoming weak. Then the queen asked slowly, "Have you seen you somewhere before?"

"Yes..." Qiu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "The girl was once the personal maid of the Second Grandma Liang. She once went to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress! Later... Later, the girl was redeemed by her family and regained her freedom..."

"So that's it. I remembered it. No wonder I think you look familiar!" The queen smiled, waved her hand to send off the last group of people, leaving the last red red pen.

Madam Yuan quickly presented the list of the people selected by the Empress. There were ten people left in total, and the Empress just divided them casually, including King De, King Ning, King Ji, and even King Duan, who was a child, everyone had a share!
