Afterwards, Xiaodouzi wrote a letter to Xue Qingqiu, telling him of the Empress Dowager's plan.

Let's say that after Xue Yinong left the Self-Nourishing Palace, he went directly to Kunyuan Palace. Yu Shiyou has been grounded, so the palace people are also very lazy, no one supervises, let the dead leaves drift everywhere, and no one cleans them, it looks like Kunyuan Palace is like a cold palace, depressed and cold.

Xue Yi was so fierce that when he saw it, he felt a little sad in his heart. Let Ren Gonggong announce his will, the people in Kunyuan Palace began to be lazy first, and when they heard that the emperor was coming, they thought that the queen could be favored again, and they were naturally happy.

Yu Shiyou listened to these words in his ears, and only said lightly, "Got it." "I came out without dressing up. Xue Yinong saw that she was dressed plainly, and it was very conspicuous against this lifeless background.

"Queen."

"The concubines have seen the emperor, but I don't know that the emperor is here, and I am not welcome."

Xue Yinong said: "Sit in the house." The two sat down to talk, Xue Yinong looked around the room and said, "Are those palace people lazy?" It's like no one has lived here for thousands of years. ”

Yu Shiyou smiled lightly and said, "The emperor wants to say that the concubine is a goblin?" The concubine can't afford it, so she wants to talk about goblins......" She didn't say anything anymore and asked Xue Yinong what he meant.

"I came here to trouble you, of course, the Queen Mother also agreed, or she mentioned it. It's spring, and the court means to draft, which is a matter of the harem, and the queen is the head of the first house, so it's better for you to be responsible for this matter. ”

"Is it appropriate?"

"Of course."

"Then according to the emperor's wishes, how should the concubines be chosen?"

I even asked her how she knew. "You are the queen, you have the final say."

"What about Xu Shutong? What to do with the emperor. ”

"I plan to let her run for election, you can choose four people with closed eyes, if there is any more surplus, send it to the emperor, he has the intention of choosing a concubine this year."

Yu Shiyou was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, but Xue Yinong didn't look like he was telling a joke. I couldn't help but be stunned, I remember that Xue gradually talked about his parents in the past, and he was very proud every time, you must know that with Xue Dingshan's identity and status, how many women don't have it, but there is only one Empress Dowager He, at some point, he is the most ideal sweetheart image in the minds of all girls.

I didn't expect to grow old and apostasy. I don't know if Empress Dowager He is sad? Of course, she couldn't tell Xue Yinong about this, and it was inappropriate to talk about people, let alone the emperor's own father.

She said: "The concubine understands, it's just the person the emperor wants to choose, isn't it better to have a mother and then be the master?" ”

"That's what I said, but the queen mother is old, and she intends to care for the elderly with a pure heart." And with her to choose, I'm afraid it's still too cruel. Empress Dowager He mentioned it to her before, and she still remembers that look, in the end, helplessness and regret. Now why stab her already in her already painful heart.

Yu Shiyou is a smart person, and when he heard Xue Yinong, he already understood in his heart. But there is a sentence that has to be made clear to Xue Yinong, "Since this is the case, the concubine dares not to care?" It's just that the emperor has a request here, in case the queen mother ...... there, if there is something to be said over there, she will have to agree, and if she offends the emperor at that time, this ugly thing will still be said in front.

Xue Yinong understood, "She mentioned that you will do it, it must be conditional, don't worry, just according to her wishes." "On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Queen Mother's actions were very obvious, I am afraid that she will choose someone from her mother's side.

If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid that Xu Shutong won't have a good time. Since the Queen Mother has taken a step back, she has to give in.

Yu Shiyou got her words and said, "Okay." ”

After Xue Yinong left. A few days later, the Queen Mother really asked Xiaodouzi to come over and pass the word, "Queen, the Queen Mother asked our family to tell you, saying that she wanted to invite you over to discuss the draft." ”

Yu Shiyou understood and said, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, the palace will be dressed up slightly, and I will go to the Queen Mother." ”

"Okay, let's wait."

Yu Shiyou didn't let Xiaodouzi and the Queen Mother wait too long, so he took the group over to say goodbye. Today's Queen Mother's complexion seems to be exceptionally good, as soon as she saw a gentle smile on her face, she waited for her to ask Anbi, beckoned, and said: "Queen, come, come to the mourning family to sit here, the mourning family has not seen you for a long time, you have lost a lot of weight, but you have to take good care of your body." ”

Regarding the care of the Queen Mother, Yu Shiyou said: "Thank you for the Queen Mother." According to the words, she sat down next to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked how she was doing during the grounding period, and the rest of the people were not negligent, they could tell her, "Thank you for your concern, everyone treats the concubines well, and the emperor also takes great care of them." "Although those people are lazy, thinking that they will never be able to get out again, and they still want to leave Kunyuan Palace all the time, but there is no grievance in front of the Queen Mother, she doesn't want to be a long-tongued woman who is resentful and tells right and wrong, so annoying.

When the Queen Mother saw her say this, she knew that she was also an understanding person, so she didn't say anything. directly mentioned the draft, "Does the queen have any clue?" ”

"The concubine is doing this for the first time, and she doesn't have a clue yet. If the queen mother is not tired, she hopes to instruct her concubines one or two, so that the concubines can handle this matter. ”

I also know what I mean to ask her, it seems that this grounding is a bit effective, at least much smarter than before, the Queen Mother said: "The emperor asked you to do this, naturally you can trust your vision, but no matter how smart you are, you are younger, and it is inevitable that you will lack experience, not to mention that this is a national election, and there are thousands of beauties from all over the world, and it is indeed difficult to choose." But no matter how difficult it is, there is always a rule, the first is that the character is innocent, it doesn't matter if he is rich or poor, he has a gentle temperament, and the emperor has every opportunity, so he can't quarrel over a little thing, wouldn't it become a shrew and scold the street. ”

The Queen Mother said a word, and Yu Shiyou said a word. The Queen Mother was very satisfied with her obedient attitude, and she mentioned it casually as if she had unintentionally mentioned it: "Last time, the ladies from the Guogong Mansion came over, and the mourning family saw the child Sixian, and they were downright and generous, unlike other women who twisted and couldn't see the world. ”

Yu Shiyou said: "Isn't it the second lady of the Guogong Mansion?" The concubines also had some impressions of her, and they also heard the emperor praise her for being lively and cute. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Really? Does the emperor have a good impression of her? ”

Yu Shiyou smiled: "From the concubine's ears, this is indeed the case. ”

"That's good, it's good to add more sensible and cute girls in the harem, don't be like Xu Shutong, then this harem is about to become a fox hole." Yu Shiyou should not say this, let the Queen Mother complain. Because the queen mother was angry in her heart, she talked a lot, and when she saw Yu Shiyou there, she shut up and said a few words to herself, "Look at it, you're getting older, there's a lot of nonsense, don't dislike it." Don't take the words of mourning to heart, the emperor's liking is always the first thing. ”

"Yes, the concubine remembers."

After explaining this matter, the Queen Mother was slightly calmer. "The mourning family pulled you to talk, you are almost annoyed, okay, you go and do things, this draft is a big deal, and there are many places to worry."

"Yes, the concubine retired."

Outside, I knew that the queen had received an errand and received the emperor's grace, and her words could change the fate of the family. The Prime Minister's Mansion is also popular for this reason, and the gift-givers are about to break through the threshold, and Prime Minister Yu just closes the door.

Only the second son, Yu Changqing, was very buried, thinking that God had asked someone to send money, and he didn't know how to receive it, so he was careful that God turned his face, so he secretly received a lot of things, and there were many false things in it, saying that he could say a few words in front of the queen for them.

In addition to the capital is busy, the rest of the places are also busy.

It's like honoring the king's house. Xue Qingqiu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received the letter from Xiaodouzi's father-in-law. It's not good to stuff people into the palace at other times, this draft is a good opportunity, the government has already found a lot of beautiful women, and they are well-trained, they are all first-class beauties, and they are also his best weapons, the most perfect work, as long as he finds a way to send these people into the palace, it is easy to kill Xue Yinong.

Staff Xu said on the side: "Lord Wang, there is already Xu Shutong in the palace, why add others." He observed carefully, and had already found that Xue Qingqiu had become different in some places, since returning from entering Beijing during the Chinese New Year, Xue Qingqiu's attention to Xu Shutong had increased, and the frequency of hanging on his lips was obviously much more, which was not a good thing, at least not for Xu's staff.

"She's afraid that she won't be able to deal with Xue Yinong alone, send a few more people, and things will be easy to complete, we can't put all the bets on one person." What he said in his mouth seemed to be worried that Xu Shutong had other plans, only he understood in his heart that he didn't want Xu Shutong to have too much contact with Xue Yinong, and the last time he bought the fox fur cloak greatly stimulated him.

Xu Shutong is planning to dump himself and climb to other high branches. Xue Qingqiu's self-esteem was greatly hit, and when he thought of the intimacy between the two, he was about to breathe fire with jealousy.

It's very strange for people to have it, they don't feel that they have anything, and when they have it and become someone else, they attach great importance to it.

Staff Xu looked at Xue Qingqiu's fierce eyes and looked thoughtful, feeling sad for his sister Xu Muran, and poured his heart into Xu Qingqiu's eyes for so many years, but he didn't get a look from him. He felt it was time to save some attention for his sister.

"Lord Wang, the subordinates of the master of counterfeiting have been found."

"Oh, really?" Xue Qingqiu suddenly became interested, "How is it?" Did he promise to do something for us? ”

"Yes, as long as you pay for the money, there is nothing that cannot be bought. It's just that who is going to pretend to be Xu Shuying, does the prince have an idea? ”

"What's so difficult about this, you just copy one according to Xu Shutong's appearance, and let people draw a portrait of Xu Shutong to show the master of counterfeiting."

Staff Xu shook his head, "Lord Wang, things are not that simple. Xu Shutong is so smart, and you and I don't know much about Xu Shuying, just find someone, even if it is like it, but as soon as you speak, you will be exposed as soon as you interrogate. ”

"Then what do you say, since you have raised this question, do you have any good ideas?"

Staff Xu was waiting for his words, "Yes, my subordinates have been in a dilemma for a while. After I went back, I was also melancholy for a long time, but Mu Ran reminded me. ”

"What did she say?"

She mentioned that she was pretending to be, after all, she and Xu Shutong grew up together, and they still knew a lot about them. And they are of similar size, not much different. It's just that the prince, you know that there is only this one sister under your subordinates, and she ...... "And she is infatuated with you, of course Staff Xu didn't dare to say this directly."

Xue Qingqiu understood, "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, this king will not treat your brothers and sisters badly." Mu Ran has always belonged to this king, and this king knows in his heart that when this king ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will definitely make her a concubine. ”

With such a glorious future, Staff Xu thanked him and said, "Thank you Lord Wang, but the Lord still said this to her in person, and she will be happier." ”

Xue Qingqiu said: "Okay." "Isn't it just to accept a few women, what's the problem, he doesn't have as many worries as Xue Yinong, and thinking that he knows Xue Yinong's 'secret', Xue Qingqiu has a very wonderful idea - he is going to send Xue Yinong a few green hats.

Anyway, Xue Yinong couldn't give birth to a son, and he was very anxious when he thought about it. If you know that someone has given it away for free, you will be very grateful!

The draft was officially issued, and families with daughters across the country began to get busy. But then I heard that the Emperor Taishang seemed to be going to choose a concubine from among them, and everyone was a little contradictory, and the generation of marrying the Emperor Taishang was a bargain, but no matter how the Emperor Taishang was, he was a stinky old man, no better than the emperor of small fresh meat.

The girl's heart, like a boat rippling on the microwave, shook and shook, counted the left hand, counted the right hand, and wanted to see who it was more cost-effective to marry, so she had to take a small abacus and beat a dozen.

As a result of this, there have been many news events in the country.

On this day, Xu Shutong lay on the chaise longue, pillowed with one hand under his head, chatted with Xue Yinong, and talked about the news, "Your Majesty, don't you know that for the sake of you, many people have divorced, and there are many officials who divorce their wives and concubines?" ”

"Really? Why? ”

"Trying to get rich, who told the emperor to say that even if it is a woman who has been abandoned, as long as she has no heirs, she can run for election, and many people take advantage of this sentence and want to sacrifice their wives and concubines."

"That doesn't guarantee that I will definitely take a fancy to them, and the number is only five people, there are so many people in the world, the chance is very small."

Xu Shutong smiled: "That doesn't mean there isn't. ”

Xue Yinong disagreed, thinking that if he really did what Xu Shutong said, it would be too crazy, but wealth and attractiveness are difficult to say impossible.

Xu Shutong looked at her with a smile as if she was thinking, her face was sweet and satisfied, as if she admired her own child. When Xue Yinong had thought enough, she said, "I also plan to leave the palace at this time." ”

"Yes, we're going to separate. We'll see you in a few days. ”

"Yes, I still have to fill out the registration form, and I have to delete the selection several times, in front of the queen, but one in ten thousand, in front of the emperor, there are only a few people, I'm afraid I can't be selected." She sighed.

Xue Yinong was also a little anxious, "How come, is there anyone who can compare to Shutong?" ”

"Well, there are no surprises in the world, both me and others. If you meet someone who is on par with me, how do you choose, Your Majesty? Like most women in love, she was cautious and had a little temptation, and when she asked, her heart was raised, and she was uneasy, looking at Xue Yinong with a look of great anticipation.

"I'm going to be embarrassed." Xue Yinong saw Xu Shutong's intentions, deliberately frowned, and said with a calm face, Xu Shutong grabbed a handful of melon seeds placed on the handrail and threw them over. Xue Yinong grabbed them one by one like catching birds, put them in his mouth and smacked them, and said with a smile: "Xie Shutong's reward." ”

"I won't speak, I'll ignore you."

Xu Shutong turned around, turned his back, and teased Xue Yinong to come over and coax her. Xue Yi was knowledgeable, walked up to her and pushed her, and said with a smile: "Shutong, don't be angry, what I said is fun." I know that you are the best, how can you like others, they don't even think about it, okay? I'm holding a draft for you, okay? ”

Xue Yinong was about to dry her mouth, but Xu Shutong still ignored her, and finally had to threaten: "If you don't forgive, I will use force." ”

Xu Shutong quickly turned his head, "You can try it." After saying that, he said goodbye.

Xue Yinong said: "Don't think I don't dare. He hugged him together, "Say, forgive me?" ”

"If you don't forgive, you won't forgive, if you don't forgive, you won't forgive, I want to keep my position......" Xue Yinong lowered his head early and kissed her chattering lips, Xu Shutong reached out and hugged her.

She likes this concubine hug, and she also likes to hug and kiss in the air so much, which is more visible. It's just that I didn't forget to poke Xue Yinong's abdominal muscles, it seems to be a lot softer here, a winter has passed, the little emperor has not exercised, and he eats what she makes every day, and he is a little relaxed.

Xue Yinong couldn't help but itch, and finally laughed. "Don't poke it, poke it again, the cotton clothes will be poked out of the hole." She put her down.

Xu Shutong said to her: "Do you think that the eyes of Luo Yan are strange when they look at us recently, did she find something?" ”

"Is there one?"

"Didn't you?"

"No, I don't."

Xue Yinong was obviously a little unconvinced, but it didn't matter.

Let's say that Luo Yan has seen Xue Yinong and Xu Shutong bathing together since the last time, and something was wrong, and he always felt that something was wrong every time he saw the two of them.

To say that she has good instincts, it is true. To say that she is sluggish, it is true, in that period of time, she didn't find anything, let alone the good luck that broke something on the spot.

So she was entangled, annoyed, entangled, annoyed, sighed every day, and thought she had fallen in love with her, and had been gossiping around her to find something, but Brother Bing didn't find out, so he found that she was nervous.

After Luo Yan lamented no less than a hundred and eight times, Cun Xi finally couldn't bear to shout, "Sister, please sit down and say something, don't sigh there, okay?" Sigh again, the flowers bloom and fall, the swallow goes and returns, when are you going to sigh, learn Xi Shi? Frowning every day. ”

"You don't understand, I have something on my mind."

"I know, if you don't say it, how can I help you solve your problems?"

So, Luo Yan hesitated and whispered: "Don't you think the emperor and Mrs. Xu are ......?"

Regret the two eyes sparkled, and said, "You saw it too, right?" It's worth frowning about this, I thought you didn't know, otherwise I would have communicated with you a long time ago. "Cun Xi's look of 'sister, I know everything you know', makes Luo Yan very suspicious of what Cun Xi knows? If she really knew, she would still be so happy, she wouldn't be able to understand it at all.

"What do I see?"

"Huh? You're asking me rhetorically, you're testing me. Ay! The women in the palace are trouble, don't you just want to say that the emperor and my wife are getting along. ”

Luo Yan suddenly felt like he was struck by thunder, and he regretted seeing it, and said with a smile: "People are right, you have this expression." Also, you didn't expect this kind of good thing at all, I didn't expect the emperor to be enlightened so soon, now it's okay, let's just wait to be a grandmother, when the time comes, you will have a little princess in your left hand and a little prince in your right hand, and you will be busy......"

Luo Yan felt a rumbling sound in his ears, and felt that what he said was like a dream. The twist she couldn't say was all opened up at this moment.

Right! They have a problem! Not pure!

But Luo Yan looked at Cun Xi talking eloquently, her eyes were very complicated, she wasn't sure if Cun Xi really knew the situation, if she knew, did this little princess and little prince fall from the sky?

How could this kind of thing happen to her, this is simply 'big rebellion', 'deviance', she knew that when she met these two masters and servants, her life with the emperor would not be smooth, and now sure enough, it is making waves and making monsters.

The emperor is in love with a woman, oh my God!

How did this woman and woman fall in love? This is simply the legendary oolong, the demon and monster incident. Look at it again, and regret the beauty that is still there.

It's just that she knows about it, how to face the emperor in the future. Whether to ask to be transferred, or to continue to stay by the emperor's side, I don't know, even if I know, what does it matter to her.

Luo Yan played a gong in his heart, and when he started singing, this one said that he wanted to talk to Xue Yinong publicly, that one said that it was none of his business, this one said that he wanted to be loyal to the master, and that said that this was the emperor's private matter......

After a long time, she muttered and asked, "Cunxi, do you think these two women can be together?" ”

Cun regretted 'um', with a look of 'what are you talking about', and a look of sudden realization, said: "Luo Yan, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to me, so you've been beating my idea, and it's hard for me to say that I have a crush on my sister, so I want to stop talking, don't you say?" If you say it, I won't laugh at you, after all, a high-quality maid like my sister, who is good-looking, experienced, and has first-class character, is rare in the palace! ”

It's a pity to have a 'mirror applique yellow', and two small red dots on his face, pretending to be shy.

"You really put gold on your face, when did I say I fell in love with you, it's really inexplicable." While arguing, my face couldn't help but burn a little.

"Didn't take a fancy to me, cut. But it's a pity, even if you like me, I can't like you, after all, what I like my sister is a man with a master, like the emperor is my true love, if it weren't for my wife to start first, as the saying goes: the object of the master, the slave is not easy to bully. Otherwise, how could the emperor have the opportunity to make his little fresh meat, he would have been fried dry by me into old bacon. ”

Luo Yan: "......" Luo Yan thought: "You still say that you like to have a handle, who are you kidding, the emperor doesn't have a handle, you don't know, and it is fried and dried into old bacon, and it is not serious again." ”

It's a pity that no matter what she's thinking, she immediately went to search for her own treasure, experience books, recently her wife is studying women, very suitable for Luo Yan, very generous to Luo Yan's hands, "Don't say that my sister doesn't take care of you, with this cheats, I am sure that you will soon have the object of grinding the mirror, remember to be the one below, it is better to be served than to serve people." Cunxi winked at her.

Luo Yan looked at the cover of the booklet and wrote - a serious book. It's simply moral corruption, and the program often collapses...... Who said that she was going to find a woman, she combed it high, she didn't marry, didn't she say it a long time ago, why is it always so good to distort the facts.

The book is not serious, well, she confiscated it.
