Chapter 90: The Cui Family's Plan (I)

The show girl finally arrived at the last round of review, and this matter was busy in Lin Yan's hands for a while, and she was so busy that she had a headache, so she just wanted to end it early, and then she would throw this matter away.

The final review was held in the Chunxi Palace, and the show girls lined up outside the hall, calling whoever came into the hall. The emperor did not come, and the only people who inspected it were Lin Yan, Wu Guifei and Cui Xianfei.

Among the more than thirty show girls, including Jiang Xi, who had entered the harem in advance, a total of six were selected.

Although it is a draft, Lin Yan does not plan to stuff the harem with Yingying Yanyan, the harem is easy to be troubled when there are many people, and Lin Yan does not love to do much. So when reviewing, Lin Yan didn't just choose the good-looking ones, but the ones that seemed to be well-behaved and obedient.

Wu Guifei looked at the list of six people selected, pursed her lips, and said, "Queen Mother, are there fewer people selected here?" There are few people serving the emperor in this harem, and in the end, only five or six crooked melons and cracked dates were selected, and the queen is planning to perfunctory the emperor? Be careful to make people say that the mother is jealous. ”

Lin Yan glanced up at her and said, "The palace concubines of the harem plus the six who are now selected, the emperor is one person, and it will take more than half a month a day." Guifei, how many do you think you plan to choose? Choose a room of women to come in, and let the emperor's will be all consumed in the harem? Besides, it doesn't cost money to support the palace concubine? The emperor said thrift and thrift several times, of course, the treasury is empty, but the Xuanguo Mansion has always been rich, and I think the concubine never knows how to write the word 'thrifty'. ”

Wu Guifei stood up angrily, pointed at Lin Yan and said angrily: "What does the queen mean by this?" This is a satire that she is rich alone in the Xuanguo Mansion, and has no court, and even more so that her father is the secretary of the household department in charge of the treasury, which only makes people listen to the stronger the irony.

Lin Yan ignored her and instructed the palace maid: "Send the show girl back to Xiangfu Palace first, and then bring it into the harem after the decree is made." The rest of the unselected show girls can go out of the palace and go home on their own. ”

Wait until the show girl leaves. Lin Yan turned her head again, looked at the angry concubine with burning eyes, and said: "Send the concubine back to Zhaoyang Palace, send this copy of "Women's Rules" to the concubine, the rules of the palace have not been thoroughly learned." ”

Wu Guifei stared at her with angry eyes, and said in a fierce voice: "You dare!" ”

"If you don't move to be humble, you will add fifty more times to the following offenses."

As he spoke, he looked at the palace maid who was not moving next to him, and asked sternly: "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't invite the concubine back." ”

Wu Guifei glanced at the palace maid next to her left and right, and said angrily: "This palace will see who dares!" ”

Lin Yan said: "Who in this palace doesn't dare." ”

The palace maid glanced at the queen left and right, and then at the concubine, only to feel very bitter in her heart, the queen and the concubine were fighting, but they were going to suffer, and they listened to this one, but offended that one.

They thought about it, and finally walked up to the concubine, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully and embarrassedly: "Concubine Niangniang, you should still please." ”

Wu Guifei pointed at Lin Yan and said angrily: "Lin Yan, you are so good." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left the Chunxi Hall angrily.

When the queen and the concubine quarreled, Concubine Cui Xian had been serving as a background board, looking down at the patterns on her sleeves as if she was deaf and didn't hear anything, and when the concubine left, she also stood up and said, "Niangniang, since the review has ended, the concubine has also retired." The third prince just moved to the palace a few days ago, and the concubines were always worried and wanted to go and see. ”

When the prince is eight years old, he generally has to move out of the palace concubine's residence and live in an independent palace in front, and the third prince because of the special situation, until a few days ago, the emperor ordered him to move the palace.

Although the intelligence of the third prince is like that of a child, he seems very happy about moving the palace, and when he moved to the palace to greet her, he also grinned and invited: "After the queen mother, the son played in the palace, and I asked people to make snacks for the queen mother to eat, there are sweet, salty, many kinds." ”

Not only Lin Yan, but other people such as the crown prince, the second prince, Hu Zhaorong, the eldest princess, etc., were also invited, and they all used the same sentence. His relationship with the eldest princess was slightly better, and he added an extra sentence, "You come to my palace to play, and I will give you my windmill." ”

It was Concubine Cui Xian, who was very reluctant and sad for a few days, but she also knew that the prince couldn't live in the harem all the time when he was older, so as to avoid accidents.

Lin Yan nodded to Concubine Cui Xian.

After Concubine Cui Xian left, Lin Yan took Mu Qing Muzhi and others back to Changkun Palace.

After the review, the matter is not over, and the position of the selected show girls will be determined, and then arranged in which palace. But it is not so simple to determine the position, it is necessary to consider the quality of the show girl herself, and more importantly, it is also necessary to consider the family background and official position of the show girl, as well as whether her family has been reused by the emperor recently.

Thinking of this one thing after another, Lin Yan had a headache.

Lin Yan joked with Mu Qing: "If it's like this every day, in less than ten years, this palace should be old." ”

No wonder there were queens who worked hard and became ill before, so it can be seen that she was right not to choose so many palace concubines to come in.

Mu Qing smiled and gave her a cup of longan tea, and said, "After finishing the matter of the new palace concubines entering the palace, the mother will be able to relax, and the third lady and the sixth lady can be summoned into the palace to talk at that time." ”

Thinking of her mother and sister, Lin Yan finally had strength. If you finish it quickly, you will be able to meet your mother and Youyu soon. It's been a long time since she's seen Youyu, and it's been more than half a year since she entered the palace.

Lin Yan looked at the roster in her hand and asked, "Look at the Wang family, how about giving her a place as a talent?" ”

Among the selected show girls, the most expensive one was the Wang family from the Taiyuan Wang family, as for the girl sent in by the Changxuan Marquis Mansion and the concubine of the Cui family, they were all brushed down by Lin Yan.

Before considering whether to choose the daughter of the Cui family into it, Lin Yan also specially asked Concubine Cui Xian.

Concubine Cui Xian said with a smile: "The niece of the concubine was quite naughty and stubborn when she was in her mother's house, but she was afraid that she would not serve the emperor well, so the concubine might as well let her go home and marry herself." ”

Since it is a girl who intends to be sent to the palace, she must have been cultivated a few years ago, so how could she be naughty and stubborn. I think it was what Concubine Cui Xian said to the Cui family that made the Cui family change their minds.

It's just that what is the reason for the Cui family to dispel this idea, you must know that the Cui family sent the Cui family into the palace to keep an eye on the future prince, unless there is a greater interest or at least equal interests.

What are the benefits that can be compared with the future prince?

Lin Yan thought of the prince, and then couldn't help but hook her lips and smile...... The Cui family's current target is the crown princess.

The Cui family and the Lin family fought against each other, and there was no certainty of victory, not to mention that there was also a Xuanguo Mansion. But if you avoid competing with the Lin family and form an alliance with the Lin family to become the next descendant, then the chances of winning are much greater.

is the Lin family, I am afraid that I will not refuse the crown princess from the Cui family.
