"Master Xie. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Looking at Xie Qian standing in front of him, Zhang Yan greeted with a smile.

"At this time, why is the queen mother not in the palace?" Xie Qian put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhang Yan with a smile.

"Master Xie." Lu Ying also stepped forward and saluted, and corrected Xie Qian's title with a smile, "Niangniang came out alone, and I don't want others to know my identity, just call Miss Zhang outside Lord Xie." ”

"Miss Zhang?" Xie Qian chewed on the title of Lu Ying, shook his head and smiled, "I am already a wife, how can I still be called Miss?" ”

"I've seen Mrs. Zhu below." Xie Qian smiled and saluted Zhang Yan with a fist.

Lu Ying's face suddenly turned red.

Indeed, why didn't she think of calling Mrs. Zhang Yanzhu, as soon as Zhang Yan said that she wanted to call her Miss, she was very happy.

"Master Xie, don't bully my maid." Looking at Lu Ying's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Yan smiled and blocked in front of Lu Ying, "Otherwise, be careful that I will refer to you in front of the emperor." ”

"Mrs. Zhu is really unkind." Xie Qian laughed, "I just helped Mrs. Zhu do a big thing, and the thing was so successful, even if Mrs. Zhu didn't reward it, she still wanted to punish her?" ”

"But ......," Xie Qian shook his head, "No matter how much Mrs. Zhu talks to the emperor, the emperor probably won't punish her, after all, this matter is very much in line with the emperor's wishes." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Yan's eyes widened curiously.

"Madame doesn't know?" Seeing the doubts on Zhang Yan's face that there was no disguise, Xie Qian was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It turns out that the emperor didn't tell the queen in advance about this." ”

Xie Qian's nickname was changed back, and when he spoke, he was also a lot more respectful.

"I really don't know......" Zhang Yan bit her lip, and suddenly thought that when she followed Zhu Youqi's mother and son out of the palace, Zhu Youqi's mother and son said half of what she said.

"Does it have something to do with the three years of the Void Harem?"

Zhang Yan stared at Xie Qian's face firmly, and her heart jumped uncontrollably.

She didn't know why her heart was beating so fast suddenly, but, faintly, Zhang Yan felt that Zhu Youzhu seemed to be doing something.

This kind of thing is what she looks forward to and expects.

"It seems that the queen really doesn't know?" Xie Qian shook his head, "Although it may be better for the emperor to tell the queen about this matter, but I did the good thing, so let me invite a merit." ”

"Today, the court will ......," Xie Qian said slowly.

Today, the eunuch Guo Yong wrote a letter, asking to select concubines and enrich the six palaces.

"The emperor has ascended the throne, revitalized the Ming Dynasty, and opened up branches for the royal family, which is the responsibility of the king, and it is also the blessing of the society and the people."

Hearing Xie Qian say this, Zhang Yan's hand clenched tightly.

Guo Yong, Zhang Yan naturally knows that this is the old man of the harem, who has been serving in Cining Palace, and is the old man next to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

He is also one of the confidants of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

When Zhang Yan was still the crown princess before, the Empress Dowager Zhou already had the intention of stuffing people into the East Palace, but Zhu Youzhu kept saying that he was still the prince and could not trespass, so the Empress Dowager Zhou gave up.

And now, Zhu Youzhu has ascended the throne and become the emperor, but he still has no intention of choosing concubines, and the Empress Dowager Zhou finally can't sit still.

proposed it to Zhu Youzhu a few times, and after Zhu Youzhu quietly changed the topic, the Empress Dowager Zhou simply did not go around in circles, and directly instructed her subordinates to raise it generously in the court.

As soon as Guo Yong's words came out, Zhu Youji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, moved his eyebrows, and his eyes turned to Xie Qian among the courtiers.

Xie Qian also looked up at Zhu Youji, and after the monarch and the ministers exchanged a knowing look, Xie Qian stepped out of the ranks.

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate." Xie Qianlang spoke up.

Xie Qianjin admonished, the mausoleum of the first emperor has not yet been built, and the new emperor has just ascended the throne and thinks about prostitution, which is a great disrespect to the first emperor, therefore, the selection of concubines, from the perspective of etiquette, should be carried out slowly.

Guo Yong was naturally unconvinced, and when he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, several ministers came out.

Headed by Shangshu Zhou Hongmo, a group of officials all seconded Xie Qian's advice.

Looking at this scene, Guo Yong was stunned, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Youji, but met Zhu Youji's smiling and knowing gaze.

His lips opened a few times, but Guo Yong still chose to shut up.

He has served in the harem for so many years, and he is naturally very proficient in his eyebrows and eyes.

Xie Qian's words and advice, and the ministers seconded it together, Guo Yong is not a fool, Xie Qian's advice, whose meaning it is, is clear at a glance.

No matter how much Zhu Youzhu honors the Empress Dowager Zhou, this world is still the emperor's world, and the harem cannot interfere in politics.

Even if the Empress Dowager Zhou could persuade Zhu Youzhu to comply, but with so many courtiers seconding the proposal, the Empress Dowager Zhou, a harem woman, could not act against the courtiers.

It can only be silence.

"What the ministers have said is very true." After seeing that Guo Yong didn't speak anymore, Zhu Youzhu slowly spoke, "According to what the ministers said, before the emperor's mausoleum is repaired, I will not consider the matter of concubines. ”

"The mausoleum project of the former emperor is not ordinarily huge." After telling the story of what happened in the court, Xie Qian said with a smile, "According to the least conservative estimates, this project will take at least three years. ”

"In other words, for at least three years, there will be no one else in the emperor's harem except for the queen."

"......" Zhang Yan was speechless.

Zhu Youji...... Zhu Youji!

He...... He actually ......

"Go back to the palace, Lu Ying, let's go back to the palace immediately!" Zhang Yan held Lu Ying's hand tightly, and her voice trembled a little.

"Okay, the slave and maid will go and prepare the car immediately." Lu Ying hurriedly took the order, and when she was running, her eyes reluctantly looked at the person beside Xie Qian.

That person was the guard who accompanied Xie Qian out.

However, this reluctance was only for a moment, and in the next second, Lu Ying immediately drove the carriage over.

Zhang Yan didn't even have time to say a word to Xie Qian, so she jumped into the carriage and rushed back.

Xie Qian looked at the carriage that couldn't wait to leave, and suddenly smiled.

"The person you want is the maid next to the queen." After laughing, Xie Qian turned to look at the guards beside him, "You also know this maid, it is the person left by Wan Guifei to the queen, and the queen's temperament, you must know it now." ”

"If you insist on marrying Lu Ying, I'm afraid that in this life, you can only have Lu Ying alone, don't you change your original intention?"

"Don't change your original intention." The eyes of the guards beside Xie Qian were gently locked on the carriage in the distance, "Today's emperor, there is only one queen. ”

"What is Xia Yue's identity, where does he dare to cross the emperor?" (To be continued.) )
