When they arrived at the Water Green Smoke Palace, everyone had already arrived. The gathering of all the concubines is nothing more than to thank the queen.

Queen Qin was dressed in a water-falling hibiscus suit with a shade of red, and although she had traveled for a day, her makeup was still fine. The eyebrows of the distant mountains are towering into the bun, as if they are a faint stroke of ink and blue smoke, but they outline a full of painting. The plum blossom bone dotted with a little gold bead in the center of her eyebrows makes her beautiful eyes like water scissors fascinated.

When she saw Qingluan enter the hall, she smiled kindly: "Jieyu is still used to the beautiful pavilion where Jieyu lives. ”

Qingluan bowed and thanked her, regardless of the surprised or surprised eyes of others, and her smile was just right: "Sure enough, it is a good place with picturesque scenery, and the concubine thanks her mother." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone report that Shun was often coming with Ning Guifei. As soon as the woman entered the temple, the crowd fell silent and looked at her. Shun is usually in a low seniority, only with the concubines to meet the concubines one by one, but the original smile on the queen's face has long faded, and she only pointed at random: "Sit." ”

Shun's belly was slightly bigger, and he was leading everyone's attention. However, the queen didn't say anything, and such a snub was also a blatant expression of her displeasure. The rest of the people, no one dared to greet Shun Chang, and even Ning Guifei was also snubbed.

Seeing that all the palaces were all here, I heard that Concubine Xiang was dissatisfied: "Concubine Xian has always been unhappy, so why don't Concubine Chen follow the rules to ask for peace." The queen mother just advanced the day of going to the palace by a month, and I don't know who she is doing this. ”

Xiang Guifei's voice is not high, but it is enough to spread in all directions. She also regained some grace because of her father's power in the previous dynasty. She clings to the queen, and she is even more fearless for a while. Qingluan saw that the woman was talking while repeatedly fiddling with the handpiece of the sea-patterned pomegranate beads, and when she thought of what was inside, she felt a chill in her heart.

When the queen heard this, she only said with a little desire to calm down: "Concubine Chen has always been like this, and this is not the first time you have seen it." ”

"It is precisely because of repeated disrespect that the mother should be severely punished, otherwise the harem will have to rely on her alone."

Before the woman's words fell, she heard the crackling of the beaded brocade curtain, and Concubine Chen, who was dressed in a long dress of emerald green peacock feathers and gold thorn makeup, slowly walked into the hall, and her tone was like sinking into ice water: "Xiang Gui Concubine is talking about such righteous words, who are you talking about." ”

Seeing her coming, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and Xiang Guifei didn't expect her to appear suddenly, so she turned her head away a little sneeringly and didn't say a word. Seeing this, the queen comforted and said, "The palace is waiting for you to arrive before announcing a decision to everyone." Since you're here, sit down. ”

"How dare the concubine not come," she didn't pay attention to the queen, and only glanced at the auspicious concubine fiercely, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a felony to be punished behind the back by a man with many tongues." ”

Having said this, Xiang Guifei refused to back down: "If Niangniang is flawless, how dare others slander Niangniang." ”

"Alright. If you continue to make such noise now, when the new man comes, will it be a joke for people to see. ”

Hearing the queen's sudden words, everyone looked uneasy. Qingluan glanced at Ning Guifei, and when she saw her, she also shook her head in confusion, so she had to wait for the queen to speak.

Seeing that the palace was silent, the Qin family put down the jade Ruyi that was playing with it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, there are only a few of you in the harem, plus the dead and the wasted, and now the flowers are withering, doesn't it make the world laugh." She sipped the good Biluochun, and when she spoke again, her tone seemed to be mixed with a hint of the majesty of the lord of the harem: "The palace and the emperor discussed, if it is peaceful today, it is time to expand the harem, and it is good to choose a few lovely sisters to serve the emperor." ”

As soon as the words came out, even Zhao Guifei was a little breathless, and wrung the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Concubine...... It's really unheard of. ”

Qingluan couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the queen had hidden her thoughts so deeply, and she hadn't even heard of Zhao Guifei. It's just that I don't know how many daughters of the Qin family will be selected into the harem in this way. Even the confidants have never been revealed, which shows that the queen has been planning for a long time and is determined to win. Since Yuhao ascended the throne, there have been internal and external turmoil, and national affairs have been overwhelming, not to mention the love of children. What's more, in the early years, there was Emperor Jin, and then there was Concubine Chen. However, the withering of the harem concubines is well known to everyone, but no one has mentioned it for a long time.

And she just straightened a smooth presence, so she couldn't wait, which shows that the queen also understands that her position in Yu Hao's heart is not enough. It's just Qin Suyue...... Qingluan held the carved Taishi chair tightly with one hand, and the five armor sets inlaid with rhombic white agarwood slid five deep marks on the flat satin mahogany. The queen's biological aunt who supported her all the way to the back position, and extinguished her love for the emperor and recruited women all over the world for him, such ruthlessness and forbearance are no longer the delicate women who were defeated under Concubine Chen in the past. In this draft, she couldn't say anything, so she had to sharpen her blade before the newcomer entered the palace.

"This palace knows that if the draft is suddenly widespread, you will not follow. Moreover, the emperor is in the palace, and there are many inconveniences. Seeing that everyone was looking at each other, the queen said unhurriedly, "Therefore, this is not a general election, only some beautiful and delicious women will be selected from the meritorious officials who have pacified the civil unrest to enter Beijing, you think this is good." ”

As soon as she said this, the concubines saw a sense of relaxation on their faces, and the concubine Weixiang seemed to think of something, straightened up and retorted: "The concubines heard that the daughters of the generals this time, or the orphans of the soldiers who died in the battle, add up to a hundred and ten people, if all of them are outstanding, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Choosing a concubine for the emperor is to choose one in a thousand. If you are willing to earn a little gas and give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, do you think that this palace is willing to go through such a lot of trouble? The queen said that she would not go to see the auspicious concubine again, but said solemnly, "On weekdays, it is okay for you to be jealous, but you must not distinguish between right and wrong in major matters." If the emperor has let anyone sleep recently, what should be said and what should not be said, you will weigh it yourself. ”

And so the clouds and clouds were like this, and the people dispersed. The first general election, although not so powerful, is enough for everyone to plan carefully.

Qingluan had something on his mind, and his steps naturally went faster. As soon as she left the palace gate, she heard someone calling behind her, she looked back, and saw that Shun was holding her stomach up, although her steps were a little staggering, but she was trying to catch up. The woman caught up with Qingluan, couldn't wait to salute, looked up and said, "Sister, look at how this is good." ”

Although Shun Changzai was promoted to the position and became a serious little master, Yu Hao may have been taboo with the queen, and the Tonggong has not seen her a few times.
