In this way, seven or eight people in a row were all drawn with golden flowers, and they were all invited out of the palace, and they didn't even have a way to see the emperor. The show girls watching from behind couldn't help but feel cramped and uneasy, and some were secretly happy, the patterns of jade Ruyi were counted, and the more gold flowers were drawn in front, the greater the possibility of them being selected.

As the number of people increased, all the show girls were sent out of the palace, and the faces of the officials who came to supervise showed a look of consternation. He beckoned a little eunuch and said in a low voice, "Go and tell Lord Lu what happened here." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly left, at this time Lu Qifang was discussing with some cabinet elders in the cabinet, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news, and hurriedly said to several adults: "I'll go there first, and let's continue to discuss it later." ”

He came out later, and the elders behind him couldn't help but say a few words.

Chen Ge Lao said: "This old Lu is too, why is he in such a hurry?"

Another said: "What else can I do, I see that most of it is the emperor's draft, and something went wrong in the middle." ”

Chen Ge Lao stroked his beard, quite emotional, "According to the old man, no matter what, it is the matter of the emperor's inner palace, who the emperor chooses and who does not choose, who does not appoint, it is all the royal business, Lao Lu is also uncomfortable, eat radish first and worry about it." ”

"Then how can you say that? The royal family is selfless, this former dynasty is connected to the harem, and the harem is also connected to the former dynasty, and Lord Lu is also for the sake of the country. ”

Chen Ge snorted lightly, whether it is Jiangshan Sheji or selfishness, they are just doing their duty as courtiers, and the more they manage, they will eventually complain. In his opinion, this Lord Lu just takes himself too seriously. This time to give the emperor a problem, to make Guo Wenying a stumbling block, how can that woman be easy to get along with, and wait for her to enter the palace How to trouble him.

If the queen of a country fights with the first assistant, it will be a disaster for the Qi country.

He thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh, picked up the book in his hand and looked at it, and frowned after a moment, "Why is there chaos in this cloudy place?"

The two of them came together, "What kind of mess?"

Chen Ge Lao sighed, "The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou played, the minority people in southern Fujian rebelled, and nothing went well every year." ”

As they spoke, Lu Qifang had already arrived at the Imperial Temple, and from a distance, he saw a show girl pulling out a sign engraved with golden flowers from the divine ding, and he couldn't help but change color a little.

He asked the official of the Ministry of Rites in a low voice, "Did you check that sign when you put it in?"

"I have already checked, and the lower officials were afraid that something would happen, so they deliberately checked it a few times, and there were a total of thirty-seven engraved golden flowers, and a total of thirty-seven jade ruyi. ”

Lu Qifang frowned, "Why are there so many numbers?" There are only thirty-two women participating in the draft, and these thirty-seven and thirty-seven are too exaggerated.

The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "It was specially requested by the emperor, saying that the Shending was too large, and I was afraid that I would not be able to touch it, so the number of them was doubled." ”

Lu Qifang couldn't help but choke his heart, blaming him for thinking about things simply, the emperor said that the draft was held in the imperial temple, saying that it was to pray for the reproduction of heirs, so that the ancestors could protect the descendants of Nanqi, and he didn't think about it elsewhere. At this moment, it seems that there is clearly something greasy in it, otherwise how could it be that one of them could not be drawn now?

Presumably this idea was eighty percent of Guo Wenying's idea, with that girl's brain, it was not difficult to come up with such an idea, but he was really panicked by shabu again. He wondered, how could it be so difficult for the emperor to admit a newcomer into the palace?

As Feng Jingting expected, in the end, no show girl won the jade Ruyi, and a hot draft ended in a fiasco. The Ministry of Rites spent money in vain, but did not get the expected results, which is its own. There are also officials who play because of this, saying that the country has been suffering disasters for many years, and the ancestors are to blame, so they will be lowered to the harem, and the emperor's heirs will be hindered.

Feng Jingting attached great importance to this, and immediately ordered to hold a sacrifice in the Taimiao, and wrote a statement of guilt to the world. said that since he ascended the throne, although he has been diligent and diligent, the country has repeatedly caused trouble, which is his sin of immorality, and then extended to the harem, which is also the blessing of his lack of harem.

As soon as this crime came out, the mouths of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were blocked, and the emperor confessed his guilt, what kind of draft are you still chirping?

Didn't you hear the emperor say that he didn't have the blessing of a harem woman?

Regarding this matter, Lu Qifang sighed endlessly, and felt very kind of being played by Guo Wenying. At the same time, the queen mother in the harem was also angry. In front of Jiang Yuyan, she dropped a few teacups and vases, and even her favorite Ruyi was dropped. also scolded Jiang Yuyan for being a stupid fool and messing up everything she handed her over. Why didn't you think that the god would hide the secret entrance?

Later, the Queen Mother sent someone to check and found that there was a delicate mechanism set up in the Shending, and those brands were packed in two bags, one bag was engraved with jade Ruyi, and the other was engraved with gold flowers. A small hole and groove immediately opened near the left side, and all the signs engraved with jade Ruyi were stuck inside.

Not to mention those delicate girls, even the big man with big shoulders and round waist, long arms and long legs touched it for a day, and he couldn't find a sign engraved with jade Ruyi. And the ingenuity of the design of this mechanism is breathtaking, and there is no difference at all from the outside.

Because the Queen Mother was afraid of not worrying, she had specially asked someone to investigate before this, but she didn't even find out the slightest clue. She originally wanted to do something on the sign to let the people she liked enter the palace. But if you regret this matter, you regret that you shouldn't leave it to Jiang Yuyan to do.

Jiang Yuyan was scolded by her, and she didn't feel so painful, anyway, since she entered the palace, she had to be scolded almost every day, and this habit became natural, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.

She pretended to cry and said: "Auntie, don't blame me for this, I did order someone to mark the brand at that time, as long as you touch a few particularly rough ones, it will definitely be Jade Ruyi, as long as those people are not stupid, they should be able to find it from inside." But who knew that you wouldn't be able to touch it at all, and as soon as you entered, it would be all gone. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at her, "You stared at it with wide eyes there, and if you saw something wrong, didn't you know to stop?"

Jiang Yuyan said aggrievedly: "I'm just a palace concubine, how dare I call a stop at will? Wasn't Prime Minister Lu Cheng also present at the time? Why didn't I see him shouting to stop?"

Empress Dowager Jiang choked, and then secretly scolded Lu Qifang for being an old fox, and he actually retreated at this time, which was clearly not going to be carried hard with the emperor. Originally, she thought that with him, she could restrain Guo Wenying, but she didn't expect to be beaten by Guo Wenying. Looks like that's all this old man does.
