Chapter 68
After coming out of Xuanjudo and returning to the Internal Affairs Office, it is time to start preparing for the draft after dawn tomorrow. 80 e-book/(
The draft is a relatively large project, the internal affairs office is still very idle before the show girl enters the palace gate, the early stage mainly relies on the household department, by the eight banners at all levels to report the roster of school-age women to the capital yamen, in the household department after the summary of the emperor, the emperor decides the date of selection, and then it is their turn to take over.
If you are on an errand in the corner tower, the night before the election, you will see an extremely lively scene, those mule carts loaded with the dream of the concubine enter the Di'anmen, and lanterns are hung on the wheels of each car, densely turned, gathered into a sea of lights. The leaders of this flag are busy arranging cars, and the sea of lights is flowing. Then it stopped, and the night was quiet, and the next day when the palace gate was closed, the sky was bright, and the lights flickered faintly in a fog, like a star that had lost its brilliance before dawn. Gradually, they all died out, and no noise could be heard, except for the occasional sound of mules and the loud voice of the prisoner: "Don't scatter one flag at a time...... Followed behind, slowly, steady is the first ......"
Song Yin passed from Yongxiang, and waited at the entrance of the Imperial Garden Road with a group of female historians and Jingshi supervisors. Finally, I saw the prison leader entering, because he had not been selected, tall, short, fat and thin, and his good and beautiful were uneven.
She turned around and asked Cai Si: "Is Hou and Long Live Lord here?" ”
Cai Sidao was, "The body Yuan Hall has been moved, and the little manager will order to let it go!" ”
She nodded, "The emperor only looks at two flags a day, first called the yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag, and the rest are waiting outside, maybe Lafayette is in a hurry, and it is not necessary to see more flags." ”
Cai He snorted and copied it to the back to pass the word.
With a wave of her hand, she told the warden to bring them over, and lined up outside the hall. The general election was in accordance with the first Manchuria, then Mongolia, and finally the Han Eight Banners, and the first two banners were all women from more noble backgrounds, and some of them were even known to her. She looked around, and I was afraid that most of the concubines would come from here, so she became more and more pleasant.
The superintendent raised his voice and ordered: "Six people in a row, divided by age." Look at your cards and see if you're not there, there's nothing you can't talk about. Long live the Lord and the queen Lafayette read it in person, salute first when they enter the door, do not lift their eyelids to look at the sky, their eyes are staring at their toes, step by step, they are not good-looking. ”
Those plain-faced show girls have no distinction between high and low at this time, they are wearing blue silk robes, simple braids, and red velvet flowers on their sideburns, and they only obey the assignment of the supervisor. But when you go in, you don't raise your eyes, you can still look at it casually outside, and you're very curious about her, probably the first time I've seen a living female officer, and a pair of big eyes can't help but look at her.
She smiled, lifted her robe up the steps, and motioned for the first row of show girls to follow her in. The emperor and the queen and several old concubines sat on the throne, and she waved her hand upward, but retreated to the side.
The emperor sat with his hands on his knees, but his eyes were bored, and then he said this is good, that is good, he coped perfunctorily, "One qiē but it is up to the emperor to decide." ”
If there is a little bit of friendship, there will always be some touch after experiencing this kind of scene, right? He raised his eyes to look at her, and she stood safely with her hands folded, willing to look at Lu Run rather than stop at him. He slowly clenched his fists, the most bitter thing in this world is that I love you, but you have no interest in me. He is the king of a country, why did he make himself so wolf?
He fell silent, not thinking about it so much, but his heart was settled. Horizontal and vertical are bad people, and bad is completely bad. He had wanted to give her the posterior, but he almost had to beg her, but she was unmoved. Since she is not rare, there are naturally people who are rare. If you don't want to be a queen, then enter the harem as a concubine!
After the selection of people is very careful, and the concubines secretly discussed, first look at the background and then look at the appearance, all the cards are the harvest outside the book. Her idea is very simple, pick the best one for her son, and it is best to have a few grandchildren in the coming year.
After looking at the yellow flags, he turned sideways and asked the emperor, "Do you have a favorite?" ”
The emperor said indifferently: "What the emperor left behind, it's good to look at it." To read this book, please go to 800 ()] txt e-book download/horizontal and vertical and a few replies to see, the queen is the most important, and it is better to consider it more carefully. ”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, and a dense row of eyelashes covered it, and he couldn't see his thoughts. Song Yin had a little joy in his heart, maybe he figured it out, it would be good if it was like this, after all, it is not a sin for a person to like you, if you coexist peacefully early, there will not be so many twists and turns.
She pursed her lips and smiled back, "There are the Seven Banners of Manchuria at the back, as well as the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and Lafayette will pick them slowly." The minion looked outside before, and this time it was more complete than the previous year's, so he didn't have to worry about picking something to worry about. ”
When she said this, the emperor felt more and more useless, stood up and said, "There are still some government affairs that have not been done well, and the rest is for the emperor and the concubines to bother." ”
He was about to leave suddenly, and everyone was a little dazed. Later, he said: "I want a few registered 1, you don't choose any of them, what does it look like?" ”
Helpless, he sat down again. The back of the introduction are all under the yellow flag, that is, his original flag slave, in the five or six dials that came in, pick a few pleasing to the eye and leave cards, even if it prevaricates the queen.
He finally left, knowing Mo Ruomu, and then put the bracelet on the kang table, and his heart was not happy, but because there were a few old concubines next to him, it was not easy to do it on his face. He sighed lightly and smiled again, "He's gone, let's pick ours." The girl on the flag doesn't have to worry about her background, just look at the appearance of the talent. You can also help take a look, in the past, it was the relatives of the concubines in the palace first, and there were few people around our emperor, so there was no such thing. Push it up further, there are good recommendations, and the big guys also come up with ideas. ”
The old concubines began to recall, whose aunt and grandmother had seen it once, the appearance of the country and the city, and the poetry and song were comparable to Zhuo Jun. Later, hope was rekindled, and he held his reading glasses to see every freckle and mole on the show girl's face clearly.
Song Yin stood patiently, and when the two flags were finished, the day's task was completed. The rest is tomorrow, so a draft can take days.
There are ten people who have left cards today, and these people did not enter the palace directly, first return to the side, and then put them together for re-election when the round of the general election is over. Those who still keep their cards after a few re-elections have the opportunity to be promoted to the canonization, but there is still one last hurdle - staying in the palace. This screening is more stringent, and the show girl can't have a flaw on her body, such as fox odor or flat feet. Finally, the posture and appearance after falling asleep, those who are on all fours, those who grind their teeth and snore, and those who talk in their dreams...... In the end, there is basically not much left, and then ask questions one by one, consider the conversation and knowledge, and agree on the candidate for the concubine.
Song Yin sometimes thinks that the Tong family does not have to run for election if they are pardoned, it is really the greatest grace given by / grandfather, if she also asks people to play with it like this, she really doesn't want to do it. This round after round, even breaking your mouth to see your teeth, what is the difference between picking livestock in the mule and horse market? You have to toss so much to be a concubine, it's really not countable.
She put together the book, and when the prison took everyone out, she returned to the Internal Affairs Office. Tomorrow it will be the turn of the white and white flags, and Amma is not there, and the burden on her shoulders is heavier. The daily trivial things in the palace are constant, there are many people, and there are many things, some of them suddenly fainted, some of them got off the mule cart and broke their feet, and there were those who came to the menstrual pain and couldn't straighten their waists, and they were overwhelmed by strange things. In fact, she understands that many accidents are tricks that the girls don't want to come up with in the palace, and the age of entering the palace is light, once they are fancied, they can't get out of the Forbidden City for a lifetime, and for the Manchurian girls who are used to being free at home, it is equivalent to a punishment.
The spring cold has not yet come to the end, and it is still very cold at night. He asked someone to gather a pot of fire and put it at his feet, and gradually his legs and stomachs warmed up. She sat behind the desk and counted the consumption of firewood and rice in the month, and saw that when it was time to change clothes in another year, the tribute satin offered by various places in the previous year should be sorted out, and the jewelry of the concubines should be created.
Just as I was about to get involved, I suddenly heard footsteps outside. After the key was placed in the palace, all errands stopped, and no one was allowed to move around until there was an important fork. She put down her pen and sat up straight, thinking that Sula would come to report, but she waited for a long time and did not see a reply.
Outside the window, the north wind howled, and only the whimpering cry of the eaves was left. Just as she wanted to pick up the pen, the lantern of the vigil suddenly cast an elongated figure on the peach blossom paper, with a long and clear outline and a simple bundle of long hair, which she couldn't see who it was, but it made her heart skip a beat.
Is it Rongshi? Isn't he? I know it's impossible, but I can't suppress hope in my heart, what if?
She stood up and opened the door, "Who is it?" ”
The people outside the door did not move, and a depressed face stood there like a stake. She was shocked, "Why are you here?" ”
He pushed her away and walked straight into her duty room, "There are no cards to turn over, I thought of you." ”
He passed in front of her, bringing a cold smell of wine, she didn't dare to enter the house, and stood hesitantly at the door, "I have nothing to do with your flop, have you drunk?" If you don't sleep after drinking, what are you doing here? ”
The emperor sat in the circle chair, lowered his eyes and stroked the wrench in his hand, from the time he appeared to the present, he had not even looked at her with the right eyes, and he was afraid of showing timidity. Hearing her say this, she just snorted, "Where can I go to this Forbidden City?" I want to go shopping at night, and I come to you after shopping, so what? ”
She looked back, and the door with the wall was not far from her duty room, and he jumped in again when the door was closed? She felt tricky, "Long live Lord, you are not the same as when you were the prince, you can't fall in love with wherever you want......"
"Less nonsense!" He suddenly raised his voice, "What are you doing standing there?" I'm going to eat you? Close the door and come to me! ”
He didn't drink, she was afraid that he would get out of control, and drinking alcohol was even more terrifying. She didn't dare to disobey the order, nor did she dare to step forward, so she closed the door a little, and only took half a step under her feet, "If you have any orders, the lord can order someone to pass on the slaves, and ask the lord to go on a trip himself......"
"Don't talk to me and the mud, shut your mouth, you don't have a good word to say when you open your mouth, and you throw away my previous affection for you in vain."
She was scolded by him and was so frightened that she was silent, and he was satisfied, and began to recall the past, and said slowly: "I don't know how to love people." When he was fourteen years old, he had two rooms, which were sent out by the palace to guide the history of the imperial house. At that time, I was young, and I thought this thing was interesting, and at first it was day and night, but then it was not unusual, so I threw it away. My junior, to tell you the truth, has always been. Because I had missed the throne and wanted to take it back, I won over my ministers and cultivated my own power, and these two things alone cost me a whole ten years, so I didn't have time to spend the previous month. I play with women, and I admit that I played a lot when I was a prince. Because you have to socialize in the officialdom, you have to do it, but you are the only one who has really thought about it so far. He stood up and staggered around, "You're the first woman I've fallen in love with, do you know what it's like to be the first one?" I want to sit and think, even if I see your handwriting, I feel comforted. He pointed at himself and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm crazy, I'm unrequited, I like the woman of the minister, what kind of emperor is it!" I don't want to do this, but if I stand in power and can't control myself, no one can restrain me. I want to snatch you over, my brain is about to explode, can you save me? I know, you've said it many times, you don't like me, you just want to be a slave for me...... But I don't lack minions, I don't lack people to be errands for me, I don't lack someone who knows hot and cold, and can talk to me directly. ”
Song Yinxi moved her lower lips, and just wanted to open her mouth, but was interrupted by his sleeves, "Don't mention any draft to me, those women are all used to have children, not for love!" ”
She listened quietly to what he had to say, and asked in a low voice, "So how will you love now?" ”
He almost didn't even have to think about it, "The affairs of the harem are all up to you, and you can deal with it as you want." I am rich in the world, I can give you the best things, I will promote Tong Jia's clan and make you a prince, isn't that okay? The Tong family was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there was only one concubine in the ancestor, don't you want to win glory for the family? You can stand taller, go further, your son can do it, you will be the queen in the future, I will give you the greatest glory of a woman, what else do you have? ”
Song Yin was already embarrassed to say anything to hit him again, their values were separated by the universe, and they were not on the same line at all. She could only express it as tactfully as possible, "You are very good, you are willing to give me a qiē, which is the dream of all women, I am grateful for your heart for me, but I can't lie to you." Sometimes the other party is not necessarily the best choice. It's just that chance that is stuck, and as soon as it collides, it crashes into my heart. Rong Shi is not better than you, you are the emperor, he is just an official under you, as soon as your voice is high, he has to kneel down and kowtow to you, in terms of power and status, he is far from you. It is because of this that I feel that he is popular, and when something goes wrong, I can reason with him. And what about you? You are the emperor, I have to prevent you from being unhappy, afraid that you will be angry, such a generation, tired. ”
He frowned, "Dare me to suffer in my identity?" If it weren't for the emperor, you would like me? ”
Song Yin choked, "Not necessarily, but it will definitely be a little bigger." ”
He suddenly realized, "Then there is really no way, you can't throw it, the emperor has to continue to be it, you can't get it with great difficulty, you can't give up for a woman." He looked down at her, and she was as beautiful as jade in the light. He raised his hand to caress her face, but she tried to dodge, but was stunned by his gaze. Look, the emperor can make people submit, love it or not. His fingertips finally landed on her cheeks, and the soft and delicate touch was simply the most beautiful and heartwarming in the world. He whispered, with a hint of pleading, "Eryin, can you love me a little, just a little...... I can not put the emperor's score in front of you, let's get along like an ordinary husband and wife, can't we? You look at my benefits, there's always a place for you to like. Do you know what it feels like for me to hang my heart every day and not fall into my stomach? You went to Rehe, I wanted to cry several times, but I can't, I am, I'm the emperor, I can't cry......" He rolled up his sleeves and let her see, "I'll solve it like this, this is because the fourth brother took my throne, this is because the fourth brother cut my military power, this is because the cabinet framed me, this is because you went to Rehe......"
Song Yin took a look at it, and there were four shocking openings on the white and delicate arm, the Dao had healed, and one was a new wound, a fresh flesh-red scar, and he could imagine the tragic situation of the separation of skin and flesh at that time.
She looked at him in amazement and panic, "Lord, why are you doing this?" ”
The corners of his mouth sank slightly, and there was a fine sparkle in his eyes, almost falling down. Afraid that she would see it, she quickly turned her head and muttered, "I have no last resort, but I missed it." I shouldn't have asked you to woo Rong Shi, I was cocooned and bound, and retribution came. Am I only doing this wrong, and there is no room for recovery? Can't you forgive me once and come back to me? ”
Because of a wrong beginning, a series of follow-up reactions were triggered, and it was he who asked her to win over Rong Shi, and she went from disgust to love. Since you love it, you can't go back, what's the point of going back to the root of it now?
It's just that he hurt himself like this, which shocked and saddened her. After all, the woman is soft-hearted, as if his sins can gradually be offset by that knife. She thought that he must have been drunk, so he showed her these wounds that he was ashamed to expose, and this iron-blooded man also had places where he was fragile and overwhelmed.
He put his hands on her shoulders, "Now I'm not an emperor, just a person who loves you, can you not be so ruthless to me?" Give me a little bit of love for Rong Shi, is this too much to ask? ”
His fingers gradually tightened, like iron tongs, and she was in pain. The voice is like the song of a merman in the ethereal and dumb sea, and it has the power to instigate it. Song Yin didn't notice it, but he was picked up by him, and when he was about to struggle, he both fell into the futon, and his body was like a mountain, crushing her underneath.
