Chapter 153: Whitening
That's to be expected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, there was no Shangyuan galloping horse, Zhao Xian elected the concubine, and with the background of the Protectorate Mansion, it was normal for him to be on the list of candidates.
I'm afraid that there are not more than 100 people on that list, she just wants to fill the number.
Zhou Qin felt that this matter was not surprising, and thought that He Suyu was also included in the candidate, and couldn't help but joke: "Su Su's temperament, if she knows, I'm afraid don't jump up." ”
Old Madam Zhao didn't follow her words, but frowned, and said, "I'm afraid that the girl of the He family is in some trouble." As he spoke, he handed He Shangshu's letter to his granddaughter.
After reading the letter, Zhou Qin also frowned slightly.
He Shang wrote about the "auspicious rui" dug up by the Jinshui River, and said that the important ministers of the court forced the Empress Dowager Tian to half-remove the curtain, although the brushstrokes are vague, but he can also see his worries about his daughter's choice of concubine.
Obviously, the little emperor himself hopes to get a big backer, but Empress Dowager Tian is categorically unwilling.
In this life, since avoiding the night of the Shangyuan Festival, everything has changed dramatically, but Zhou Qin feels that others may change, but Empress Dowager Tian's desire for autocratic power will never change. She may be forced by the situation, for the sake of fame, to agree to choose a concubine for the little emperor, but she will not choose a helpful Yue family for him.
In this case, unless several important ministers unite to pull him down, otherwise, there is a high probability that Zhao Xian's concubines will still be like the first emperor or Emperor Taizong, they are innocent and outstanding, but the family power is not very powerful.
If it is customary, there will be two or three people entering the palace this time, but Zhao Xian is old, maybe a few will be included. If there are a large number of people, it is really uncertain whether He Suyu is at risk.
Father He is the secretary of the ministry, and he is in charge of the promotion and dismissal of officials, and he can be regarded as a real position when he is in power, but once he is transferred, as soon as the person leaves, the tea will be cold, and it will not be of much use. There are some differences between him and the real magnates, but he can be regarded as a high-ranking official, if the Empress Dowager Tian and the old ministers play a game, it is indeed possible to take out the girl with this level of family background and enter the palace, which not only gags people's mouths, but also does not make it too difficult for her to accept.
However, if he is selected, his uncle Zhou Yan is in charge of the army, and the Protector Mansion is a hairpin family, as long as the Empress Dowager Tian still has a breath, she will not agree.
Zhou Qin didn't want the Protectorate Mansion to have anything to do with the royal family this time.
In his previous life, Zhou Yan helped the little emperor force the palace, but he was completely forced to do it, and when Zhao Xian sat on the throne, he didn't know what he would do.
It is already a great fate to be able to release the military power with a glass of wine, and it is not impossible for a rabbit to die and a dog to cook.
Zhou Qin told his grandmother about Zhao Xian's selection of concubines.
Old Madam Zhao nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, the sage has been in control of the government for too long, and it is estimated that the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall will rebound." Now that the war in Guangnan is not ending and there is a great drought in the west, seize this opportunity, at least loosen the position of the saint, otherwise she will cover the sky with one hand, and Chu Zhen and them will be restless sooner or later. ”
Zhou Qin was a little worried about He Suyu, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible for Su Su's side to do something in advance, can he not be selected?" ”
Old Madam Zhao said: "Unless you set someone for her first...... It's just that in this hurry, where to find a good person, maybe before we can see each other, the will will come down there. She saw that Zhou Qin's expression was a little ugly, so she comforted her granddaughter and said, "You don't have to be too anxious, there are many people like He Fu in the court, and she may not be chosen." Moreover, according to the statement in this letter, it seems that several powerful people are also quite moved, and if they join forces, maybe there will be a big move in the DPRK and China. Fortunately, we are far away, so it seems that coming to Guangnan in advance can be regarded as a good luck, just to avoid this period of turmoil in Beijing. ”
After all, it is only possible, and it has not been decided, Zhou Qin thought about it, and could only comfort himself that Ji Ren has his own natural appearance.
He Suyu was not selected into the harem in the previous life, and this life should be smooth.
The two chatted, it was already afternoon, Mrs. Zhao yawned, Zhou Qin hurriedly asked her to rest, and took a few girls out of the yard by herself.
I was halfway there, and suddenly saw a person sitting in the corridor in front of me, who was not He Yaqing.
When the other party saw that he was coming, he stood up with a smile, greeted him, and said hello.
Zhou Qin saluted and said with a smile: "Why is Third Brother He here?" She looked at the sky, "I thought you'd be out on an errand this time." ”
He Yaqing smiled, his teeth were extraordinarily white, and he said: "Originally, I wanted to ask my sister about something, but the old lady seemed to have something to say to you, so I waited outside." ”
Standing halfway, it was not convenient to speak, Zhou Qin saw that there was a stone table not far away, and there were a few stone benches on the side, so he pointed and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
The two sat down, and Zhou Qin smiled: "What can use the word 'consult'?" Third Brother He just said, I must know everything, and I must say everything. ”
Next to this stone table and stone bench is a pond and a rockery, and a few laurel trees are planted. Although it is not opened, it is a little cooler than the next place.
Seeing that they were going to talk here, the begonias were busy ordering mosquito repellent herbs and serving tea.
For a while, the cigarettes curled, the cicadas chirped and cut, and there were swimming fish and shallow shrimp a few steps away.
He Yaqing looked at Zhou Qin's face and couldn't help muttering: "Guizhou is so hot, the sun is big, and Sister Zhou doesn't have a tan......"
Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, "Third Brother He, you don't want to ask me how to turn white, right?" ”
She couldn't help but look at He Yaqing's face.
He Sange has always been very fond of tossing, when he used to play polo, he was in the open air, coming in the wind and going in the rain, never stopping because of the changes of the four seasons, and later was caught by his father and sent to the Feng clan school, and he still often secretly found time to ride horses and shoot arrows, brush guns and stick sticks.
Exposed to the wind and sun all year round, the skin on his face used to be a very healthy wheat color.
Since chasing after Guangnan, I have been on the street every day to run errands, and my face has darkened more than one or two shades than before.
Zhou Qin involuntarily lowered his head and looked at his hands, and then looked at He Yaqing's face.
It's a stark contrast.
She showed a sympathetic expression and comforted: "Third Brother He, now in Guangnan, everyone is black, and when you return to the capital, I will find you a few recipes with Su Su to see if you can come back in vain." It's really not good, now there are a lot of powder dressings for men in Beijing, if you don't mind, let's find you something good to try? ”
