October of the fourth year of Chiwu came quickly, the new female scientific examination ended, the number of ladies in the former dynasty and the harem was also set, and three palace concubines were added to the palace, namely Sun Fanwen, the second daughter of Sun Fanwen, the granddaughter of Yang Tong, the assassin of Youzhou, and Zheng Shirong, the cousin of Concubine Zheng.

It is also a good thing for newcomers to enter the palace, and Ji Xuanyuan personally named the three of them as nobles of the sixth grade.

Originally, it was to be named a concubine of the fifth grade like the concubines who entered the palace in the previous draft. It's just that among the five palace concubines who entered the palace before, except for the Yao family, who went and posthumously sealed the noble concubines, and the Ban family who sealed Wanyi and Yin Jiao'e who were promoted to be concubines, Hu Concubine and Xu Concubine were also still concubines, so the position of the newcomer was set at the noble.

And Yuan Wei'er also gave birth to the second prince early in September, although it is not yet a full moon, Ji Xuanyuan has already set the name of the prince, called Lehe. Yuan Wei'er was also named Cong Wupin Jiao'e because of this. It's just that the second prince was born only ten days ago and was sent to Concubine Zheng, and Ban was also named the noble concubine of the third grade because of his merit in taking care of the Yuan family, and became the third in the palace after Concubine Zheng and Concubine Yan, who was in charge of the Chengqian Palace and lived in the Qinghe Palace. Sun Guiren was assigned to the Chengqian Palace and was taken care of by the noble concubines.

By the end of October, Zong Zhengyu still did not return to the court, and even the letters were less, and later An Sui learned that Ji Xuanyuan secretly ordered Zong Zhengyu to stay in Chiji, until the matter of the flood was resolved, he could return to the Hajj to report on his work.

When Ji Xuanyuan talked about this matter at the queen's place, he also glanced at An Sui, "Ah Ce is not small, if he is an ordinary man, at this time, he is not said to be a family, but he has several children, I think, if he can solve the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, I want to give him a marriage." After all, although the affairs of the government are important, I also hope to be able to be an adult. When he came back, he mentioned it to me himself. ”

When Empress Zongzheng heard this, she quickly knelt down, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the concubine is grateful for her brother." ”

Ji Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to help Empress Zongzheng up, "You don't have to be polite to me, one is my left arm, the other is my right arm, and I don't want to treat any of them badly." ”

After Ji Xuanyuan left Kun'an Palace, Xu Mingchang saw that the emperor asked An to go to Guanwa Palace to deliver the decree without following him, so he dared to ask, "Your Majesty, is what the emperor said true?" Somasa-sama and Ant-sama ......"

"You understand the meaning of what I said, and Ah Sui also understands. Only the queen did not understand. ”

"However, the emperor once told the slave that the Zongzheng clan is a border clan, and their ambitions are not small. There is already a queen in the harem, and the power of relatives cannot be underestimated. And Lord An is a person who came out of the emperor's side, and knows too many things around the emperor, these two people ......"

Ji Xuanyuan lightly interrupted Xu Mingchang's words, "Xu Mingchang, you must not understand why my mind has changed now. There are many things in this world, even I can't control them, and since she is willing to give up the sect policy for me, I am willing to fulfill her once. If things are as you say in the future, I can do something to undo it. ”

Xu Mingchang thought for a while before saying, "The slave understands, even if the Zongzheng clan really has any bad intentions in the future, Lord An is the emperor's person, and naturally everything is for the emperor." ”

This is not a helpless move to make when there is no choice, but a willingness to take the initiative to believe once. I just hope that An Sui will not let himself down.
