11. Chapter 10
Empress Zongzheng thought about it and asked, "Your Majesty, the newcomers will enter the palace in five days, and the emperor will see if the arrangements for the concubines are appropriate." ”
"The queen can arrange it herself, you don't have to ask me for everything, when you are in the harem, if you don't understand anything, you can ask the queen mother. The queen has also worked hard these days. ”
Empress Zongzheng felt at ease in her heart, and smiled slightly, "The concubine is not hard, but the female officials of the harem are not enough, the concubine thinks that she might as well choose some talented among the palace maids, and fill the harem as a female official after the assessment, what does the emperor think?" ”
"I don't think it's necessary, most of the things in the harem are still simple, the rules set by Taiyi Ancestor still can't be abolished, the female officials in the palace before are all qualified palace maids, and now the female scientific examination has also been implemented, this year is just a try, three years later, I plan to divide the subject assessment, An's matter also gave me a great inspiration, since the female scientific examination has begun, it must be as cautious and rigorous as the men's scientific examination. The female officials of the harem still have to have some rules, I plan to find a name to let a group of palace maids out of the palace, the harem has spent a lot of money over the years, and the first emperor also sent a large number of concubines to Gion Temple, these women also waste their years in the harem, and also breed a lot of intrigues, I don't want to see these things. It is harmful to the country and the family. ”
"So the emperor only chose five newcomers to enter the palace this time, is this what it means?"
"Exactly, when I was the prince, I saw a lot of unbearable things, when I was in the palace, the queen did a good job, and now that the newcomers have entered the palace, the queen can also suppress the atmosphere of the harem."
Empress Zongzheng bent slightly, "The concubine understands what the emperor means, and she will definitely not disappoint the emperor." Now that it's late at night, the emperor might as well rest early, political affairs are important, and the emperor should also take good care of his body. ”
"I understand. The queen was worried. ”
"The concubine retired first."
After the queen left, Ji Xuanyuan pressed twice on his temple, and Xu Mingchang hurriedly stepped forward, "The emperor is tired, the slave arranged for someone to serve the emperor to sleep." ”
"I want to go out for a walk. If you follow, no one else will follow. ”
"The minions obey."
Ji Xuanyuan's heart was very serious, and he didn't know how long he had been walking, but when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the shore of Weiyang Lake, and Xu Mingchang dared to step forward, "Your Majesty, let's go back." ”
Ji Xuanyuan pointed to the place where the lights were swaying not far in front, "What's the place ahead?" ”
"The front is where the history of the Middle Palace is."
"Oh?"
Ji Xuanyuan was about to leave, but a palace lamp appeared not far away, "Sister Yin? You okay? ”
Xu Mingchang was about to speak, but Ji Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to stop Xu Mingchang.
An Sui helped Yin Qin up, "Sister, it's okay, several of you have interceded for you, Aunt Yang has already relented and will not punish you, hurry up, let's go back!" ”
Xu Mingchang sneezed at this time, and An Sui immediately noticed that someone was protecting Yin Qin.
Yin Qin was a little scared in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Ji Xuanyuan glanced at Xu Mingchang beside him, Xu Mingchang hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound. Ji Xuanyuan slowly approached, "I don't mean to disturb, just passing by, the two girls don't have to be afraid, there is no malice in the bottom." ”
Yin Qin was shocked and frightened, and shrank behind An Sui, who held the palace lamp in one hand, looked straight at Ji Xuanyuan, and bowed slightly. Ji Xuanyuan thought it was interesting, if a woman in Da Chu met a strange man, most of them would have to dodge, and the woman in front of her didn't look very old, but her eyes didn't dodge. This is really a pair of beautiful eyes, like an ancient tan, deep and calm.
An Sui tilted his head slightly, "Sister Yin, let's go back!" ”
He bent slightly to Ji Xuanyuan again, "Fang Cai has offended a lot, it must be that the micro body has disturbed the interest of the son, and I hope that the son will be generous and retire." ”
Ji Xuanyuan watched the woman in front of him leave suddenly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say much. When she was far away, she told Xu Mingchang to go back.
Yin Qin walked for a while before daring to stop, "Let go and scare me to death, who was that just now?" ”
An Sui vaguely knew something in his heart, "I don't know, I can walk in the palace forbidden, and there is a eunuch next to me, and he is not an ordinary person." What happened tonight, we all have to pretend that we don't know, if we meet the man in private in the palace, it will cause a lot of trouble. ”
Yin Qin nodded, "It's natural. It's a dark day, and I'm afraid they haven't seen us clearly, so it shouldn't matter. But I think in my heart that this man is really handsome. ”
"No kidding."
Yin Qin smiled lightly, "I'm also happy in suffering, I've been kneeling for a long time, and it's useless to even have dinner." I don't know what to eat when I go back. ”
