185. A new round of concubine selection ceremony, the dark horse is killed
185
Xue Yinong was very interested in the soldier who was captured, after all, this was the person who the fourth prince wanted to rob, and his identity must be extraordinary.
"Do you know who it is?"
"I can't find it out for the time being, and Rouran's side is also very secretive."
At this time, Gonggong Li came in and said, "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles is urgent." As he spoke, he presented the notebook.
Xue Yinong took it and looked at it.
Yan Wushang said: "Your Majesty, what did you say above?" β
"That's what we're talking about, Lord Fang, who escorted this time, said that the mission was robbed and asked for rescue."
"What does the emperor mean?"
"The matter has already come out, and it is useless to be hysterical, or think about how to remedy it, Rouran's side refuses to go again, saying that if you can't find someone, you will definitely not take a step forward. It seems that things are similar to what we guessed, but it is useless to stalemate, so I wrote a handwritten message to Lord Fang and Rouran's envoys, asking them to enter Beijing as much as possible, stay in the post house, and have limited safety. You first send a thousand men from the Praetorian Guard to fetch them. β
Yan Wushang said: "Yes." β
Later, he thought about it: "Forget it, bring an edict to Li Lin and let him go, don't you want to choose a concubine recently." β
Yan Wushang almost forgot about it, "Okay." β
When Yan Wushang left, Xue Yinong called the leader of the Dark Guard Division over and asked about the current situation of the four princes.
"Your Majesty, there is no movement for the time being."
"You guys take a good look, just in the past few days, if there is any trouble in the Rui Wangfu, report it immediately."
"Okay."
A few days later, the concubine selection ceremony. Because it was a major event, Xue Dingshan, Empress Dowager He and others appeared, and even the Empress Dowager, who had been grounded for a long time, was able to come out to breathe, and look at the bright and excessive sunshine, which was really like a world away.
The children ran around her like crazy, without rules, this time there were not only the second fools, Xiao Gongju, but also the seven little princes brought by Xue Dingshan.
The second fool is like a wolf, rushing left and right in the flock, and shouting loudly, "Come and catch the nest, come and catch the nest." She rode her little three-wheeler like crazy, and Xiao Gongju followed behind, and she generally rode it, but she was a little behind.
The Queen Mother's face was full of frost, and she said very unhappily: "What a wild girl, I don't understand any rules." β
The second fool just rode in front of her and said, "Dodge, dodge." β
The Queen Mother pointed to herself and said to the little bean beside her: "She talks to the mourning family like this? The mourning family is also her aunt. β
Xiaodouzi said: "Yes, there are really no rules, and I don't know who taught it." β
"It must be Xu Shutong, I will see the emperor later, and I will ask if this is polite to be a junior."
The seven little princes, swarming behind, "Let's play." β
The second fool turned around and said, "Don't!" This is a gift from my father to the nest, who are you? β
The seven of them gossiped and said that they were princes and princes.
The second fool said: "Where did you come from, you actually pretended to be the elder brother of the nest." β
They pointed to the sitting SrΓΆdingshan, "That's our father." β
"Nonsense, my father is very young, your father is too old, he is an old man. The father of the Wo family is super handsome and super good-looking, princess, don't you say? β
Xiao Gong nodded.
The second fool said: "Look, the nest will say." β
At this time, Xue Yinong accompanied Xu Shutong and the others over, and the second fool pointed at her and shouted, "See, it's the father of the wo emperor who wears the dragon robe." β
Xue Yinong came over, saw the three elders, sat down, and greeted the second fool and Xiao Gongju, "Come here!" β
"Okay, I'm not going to play with you, princess, let's go."
The two of them rode over, stopped the bike, climbed into the dragon chair and sat down.
The Queen Mother squinted at it and said lightly: "Your Majesty, this is our second princess." β
"yes."
"Didn't the teaching grandmother tell her that the dragon chair was not something she could climb casually?"
Xue Yinong knew that the Queen Mother was trying to find fault and take out some kind of women's gift to suppress the second fool.
"Of course she knows, because I plan to crown her the crown prince, this dragon chair will be hers in the future, wouldn't it be nice to get used to it a little earlier? Is the Queen Mother's aunt right? β
The Queen Mother exclaimed, "What? It's ridiculous that you want to make the princess the crown prince, what can a woman do. β
"That can't be said either, the Queen Mother is not also above tens of thousands of people."
Xue Yinong complimented the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother thought: "How can this be compared." But he was still very comfortable, "These are two different things, and the minister agreed?" β
"It doesn't matter if you agree or not, the important thing is that I have made up my mind, especially to choose a useless man, it is better to choose a capable woman, in this position, there are no meaningful men and women, as long as they have shoulders to bear this heavy responsibility."
"She's too young."
"She is very lively and smart, I think she can live to be 100 years old, and there is still a lot of room for growth."
The Queen Mother no longer had a grudge with Xue Yi, but asked Xue Dingshan, "Could it be that the Emperor also agrees with the emperor's idea?" β
Xue Dingshan only thought that Xue Yinong was angry with the Queen Mother, and he didn't have the intention to do this, and said: "There is no such thing. β
Fortunately, at this time, Gonggong Li had already led thirty show girls forward, and a group of people came over, their clothes fluttering, and they looked good, and when they arrived in front of them, everyone curtsied.
The second fool shouted: "Wow, it's a beauty." β
Among them, there are two people in the front row, who are particularly conspicuous, and they are also the two best among the women, Yan Wuyu and Yu Xiulan.
Others saw it, but Yu Shiyou couldn't sit still at all, she asked someone to leave Yan Wuyu, and she also knew that it was Yan Wushang's long-lost sister, but she didn't think that she had changed her name and went directly. couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on a hot day, and looked at Xue Yinong very uneasily.
Does Xue Yinong know that Yan Wuyu is Yan Wushang? Or are they simply colluding? Could it be that the emperor already knew that Yan Wushang was a woman? Thinking about it, I think it's possible, she and Yan Wushang had such a 'misunderstanding' a few days ago, and the emperor also raised his hands high and put them down gently, obviously not wanting to embarrass them.
Xue Yinong felt that someone was watching him, and smiled slightly in his heart. She looked in the direction of her gaze and nodded to Yu Shiyou. I snickered in my heart, "Look, I'm stunned, isn't it?" Pleasantly surprised, wasn't it? "She's doing a good job as a matchmaker.
The Queen Mother said: "This year's beauty is taller than in previous years, and the emperor is blessed." Saying that, he smiled at Xu Shutong, "Xu Guifei finally has a right-hand man now, and she can unload the burden on her shoulders." β
Xu Shutong replied: "Yes." She touched her stomach, "The emperor has someone who agrees, and the concubines can also be a little lazy, concentrate on raising the fetus, and wait for the little prince to be born safely." β
When the Queen Mother heard her words, her face suddenly changed. But still calmed down, and asked with a smile: "That's good, this time it's a boy?" β
"Thank you for your blessing."
Xue Yinong saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be smiling, not smiling, and just came out to walk, he didn't forget to find fault with Xu Shutong, and couldn't help but regret letting her come out a little, but after all, the draft is a national event, and the Queen Mother can't be present.
She said: "Yes, Imperial Doctor Lin also said that I will get a little prince this time, so it's fine." She didn't dare to ask Xu Shutong to suffer a loss, even if she was not at a disadvantage when she choked with the Queen Mother, Xue Yinong did not forget to make up for Xu Shutong.
The Queen Mother was about to vomit blood in her heart, and she had to take care of the faces of some elders, and said, "That's very good!" And he spoke no more.
Gonggong Li had already said in a shrill voice, 'The draft has begun', and Luo Yan has already entrusted a jade Ruyi.
Xue Yinong nodded to everyone, and then got up and walked towards the show girls, and Luo Yan followed behind.
She walked one by one, walked a few times, and everyone's hearts panicked.
A jade ruyi fell into Yan Wushang's hand, "I've rewarded you." β
"Your Majesty."
The rest of the people were okay, and Yu Xiulan, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a deep unpredictability. She smiled and said, "Congratulations to my sister." β
Yan Wushang said: "Thank you." β
Xue Yinong returned to his seat, and Yan Wushang was led over to thank him, see. Gonggong Li one by one: "Meet the Queen Mother, meet the Emperor Taishang, meet the Empress Dowager He, meet the Emperor, the Empress, Xu Guifei, Li Meiren, South American." β
Yan Wushang bowed them one by one, and took them back with a touch of Yu Shiyou's gaze.
After the visit, Gonggong Li announced his will again, and those who were not selected this time could enter the palace to be palace maids, female officials, or have the right to choose the powerful to marry, or they could go home.
The daughters thanked for their grace.
Xue Yinong saw that the situation was almost over, so he dispersed, and arranged for Yan Wushang to live in the Infatuated Garden, which was cleaned up recently, and gave it a name, and it was closest to Kunyuan Palace, so that it was convenient for them to come and go on a daily basis, but this qiΔ, Xue Yinong did a very low-key job.
And when they had dispersed, they returned to their dwellings. The Queen Mother also went back to her recuperation palace, and on the way, she met a reckless woman who broke out and bumped into her, she couldn't help but be annoyed, "How do you walk if you don't have long eyes?" β
found that the woman's service was not a woman in the palace, just like the show girl just now, and she was a little angry.
"The people's daughter doesn't know that she is the queen mother, and she deserves death."
"Okay, those who don't know are not guilty, you can go."
"The folk girl wants to be the palace maid of the Queen Mother." That person was not someone else, but it was Yu Xiulan, she tried her best to enter the palace, but she didn't expect that the queen's straw bag was not very useful, so she had to find another way. In the palace, the Queen Mother is finally more powerful, and if she stays in the palace, only the Queen Mother is the least noticeable here and can stay safely.
After staying, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
"Oh, why?" The Queen Mother quickly recognized her intentions, and kept a smile on her face, yes, she really needed a helper by her side, but she had been planning before, but it couldn't be realized, she said: "Get up and speak." Yu Xiulan got up, she looked at it a few times, and said, "You are really beautiful." β
"Empress Dowager Xie appreciates."
"I want to be a palace maid, I don't want to be a concubine, it's the first time I've seen the mourning family, you kid is indeed a good seedling worthy of distress, what's it called?"
"Folk girl Yu Xiulan."
"Your surname is Yu."
"Yes, no one."
The Queen Mother thought for a while and asked, "Who are you, Prime Minister?" β
"It's an uncle and grandfather from afar, but the people's daughter's family is thin and she doesn't dare to climb high."
The Queen Mother nodded, a little puzzled. "If you want to stay, why don't you go and ask the queen, she can still speak in front of the emperor."
"How dare the folk girl climb high, I am like this now, she is the queen of the high, how can she still recognize me, it is not the folk girl who says bad things about the queen, this relative is far away."
The Queen Mother said: "Isn't it, the mourning family has a lot to talk about with your child, why don't you go to the mourning family's recuperation palace, let's sit down and talk slowly, how about it?" β
"Since the Queen Mother has ordered, the people have no choice but to obey."
"You're really good, let's go!" The Queen Mother led the way, Xiaodouzi's father-in-law glanced at Yu Xiulan, and the group followed.
