Lin Wancheng is Lin Wanwan's elder brother, and he has made a lot of contributions to this victory over the frontier, so he was named the protector general, and he is the youngest protector general since the founding of the dynasty. It has not been half a day since the canonization and the war has ended, so how can there be an urgent matter related to the country.

The palace has been particularly lively in the past few days, not only for Song Jin's triumphant return, but also because of the draft again, and the day of the draft is set for the third day of the next month.

In the past years, except for the female dependents of officials of the fifth rank and above who have not left the boudoir between the ages of 13 and 16, they must participate in the election, and the female dependents of other officials of appropriate age can voluntarily participate in the election. This year's draft is a little different from previous years, firstly, because Song Jin personally recruited, the draft time was postponed by two months, but the grade of the draft girl was extended by two years, which means that all female dependents between the ages of thirteen and eighteen can participate in the draft.

In addition, before each draft, the local government government selects a certain number of school-age women from the people to enter the palace to participate in the palace maids, and the selected palace maids will choose some with good faces or excellent temperament to enter the palace selection. Every draft has the case of the palace maid being selected to enter the harem, many people outside the palace regard the draft as a shortcut to fly to the branches, so every time people rush to send the female dependents of the family in, but the palace maid's palace selection is at the end, and the emperor and other concubines who are in charge of the palace at that time are also tired, who will seriously appreciate the palace maids kneeling down, perhaps before they have waited for the palace test, the emperor has left the throne. The women in the harem are also shrewd people, who would be stupid enough to choose a palace maid to add trouble to themselves. The palace maids who miss this opportunity, whether they are scholars or wealthy merchants, will be reduced to serving palace maids. Despite this, many families still don't want to give up, and even more do not hesitate to give gifts to relatives in order to be selected.

The harem is also much calmer, less jealous and less jealous in Su Ri, and no more making waves. The palace concubines dressed themselves to please Song Jin, and wanted to get promoted as much as possible before the show girl entered the palace.

The Queen Mother suddenly showed mercy and exempted her from copying Buddhist scriptures for a few days, and Puyu seemed to have returned to the idle days when she first entered the palace, and she could spend her days writing and painting every day.

The smell of spring is fading, the weather is getting warmer, and there are always many newly brewed fruit wines at this time. Puyu chose to go to Taoyuantang on the eve of the draft.

As soon as Puyu entered the door, he saw Li Ruoyan and Jingshu burying their heads, not knowing what they were tinkering with, as soon as they saw Puyu, Ruoyan smiled and said, "You came by coincidence." I just opened a jar of fruit wine, and I have been brewing this jar of wine for a long time, and I was about to ask Jingshu to take some and send it to you, when you came. ”

Li Ruoyan poured a glass of wine and handed it to her, and said, "You taste it, is it fragrant?" ”

Puyu took the fruit wine handed over by Ruoyan and took a sip, the sweet fruity flavor and mellow aroma filled the entire mouth in an instant, Puyu smiled and bent the beauty, and praised directly: "Good wine." My sister's craft is getting better and better. ”

Li Ruoyan also gave himself a cup and said: "I am doing these things every day, if I don't improve, it will be a shame, you come to me so late, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Puyu said, "Isn't it like I'm coming to my sister to beg for a drink?" ”

Li Ruoyan put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "It's really not like it, not to mention that the best wine that the emperor rewarded you with is enough for you to drink for many days, just looking at tomorrow is the day of the draft, there should be no one in the harem who can drink idle wine tonight." ”

Puyu smiled but didn't answer, and drank a few sips of wine in a row. After tomorrow, Lin Wanwan will become a member of the harem, it is Lin Wanwan, it is the Lin Wanwan in Song Jin's heart, not Li Wanwan, not Zhou Wanwan.

Li Ruoyan didn't talk to Puyu, and instructed Jingshu who was standing aside: "Jingshu, you go and close the window and get a thicker spring shirt to put on Yu'er, the position she made is the outlet, so as not to let her get cold." ”

Puyu obediently put on the spring shirt, insisting that the window was still open, she needed such a cool night breeze very much, her eyes could just see the crescent moon in the east through the window, the half-curved bright moon hung high in the sky, the surrounding nebulae seemed to be draped in a looming light veil, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were full of shadows, and a gust of wind gently blew the smell of spring.

The breeze in the gazebo that afternoon was also full of the smell of spring, but it seemed to be a little colder than the wind tonight. After Song Jin left for a while, the news that Lin Wanwan needed to participate in the draft spread to every courtyard of the palace with a thunderous momentum.

Song Jin could obviously be recruited in person after the draft was completed, but he had to postpone the draft for two months. In these two months, they conquered the frontier, which meant that Lin Wanwan also achieved her desire to avenge the eldest prince and returned to Beijing with them; Lin Wancheng also happened to be promoted from a general to a general who protected the country, and it was even more coincidental that Lin Wanwan was eighteen years old, and the draft period was extended to eighteen years old. Puyu always felt that all this was not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately, in order to allow Lin Wanwan to enter the palace and be elected. However, today she also affirmed her guess, and knew that this deliberate person was Song Jin.

Puyu drank all the wine in his hand in one gulp, picked up the wine jar on the table and shook it, and then said to Ruoyan on the side: "Sister, the wine is gone again." ”

Although this fruit wine is sweet and mellow, but the strength of the wine is not strong, Puyu drank nearly a jar, and she didn't feel drunk, but she aroused her desire to speak, so she smiled and said: "Sister Yan, Lin Wanwan's entry into the palace is inevitable, no one can stop it, even the Queen Mother." ”

Puyu said again: "The emperor's personal recruitment is to delay the draft day and wait for Lin Wanwan to return, and the second is that Lin Wanwan was seriously injured by the enemy, and the emperor wants to save her." Sister Yan, do you know the age limit of this draft? It is 13 to 18 years old, in previous years it was 13 to 16 years old, why is it extended this year? Because Lin Wanwan was just eighteen years old. The ministers of the previous dynasty could not play like this, it would mess up the rules of the ancestors, and the emperor pressed it down and changed the regulations of previous years under pressure, just to give Lin Wanwan a reason to enter the palace openly. The emperor has worked so hard for her, who can stop her? ”

Li Ruoyan snatched the wine jar from her hand and said seriously: "After Lin Wanwan enters the palace, what are you going to do?" ”

Puyu opened the new jar of wine brought by the palace people, filled the wine glass in his hand, drank it all again, and continued in a hurry: "Sister Yan, are you so curious how I learned about these things? I said it, you may not believe it, at first these were my own guesses, and then today Puchen told me that my guesses are not far from ten. Pu Chen said: When Lin Wanwan was wounded, our army was in an advantageous position, and victory was only a matter of time. For the first time, I sincerely hoped that my guess was wrong, and it was better to be wrong, but God did not grant me. ”
