Xu Xun is by no means the only master to check on the show girls, after she approved the quality of the six show girls, the empress dowager and the queen mother not only sent the real credit around her, and the henchmen who could not leave a little bit to read it, but also arranged the right time to see these show girls with their own eyes. However, the emperor's will is more irrelevant in this matter, and he can only give a little advice when Zuihou chooses, just like when the grandson chooses a concubine, most of them are just going through the motions.

These six show girls were indeed selected by the thirteen provinces, except for the family background that can afford to be inspected, all of them are beautiful and have a pure temperament. In previous years, Xu Xun and other show girls passed through the passes, such as eavesdropping on whether there was a voice at night, secretly observing their words and deeds, judging their conduct, etc., these people also endured one by one - they failed to depose one, only one Zhang woman was unadaptable, and fell ill after entering the palace, so she had to move to the inner peace hall to recuperate for a few days, after the empress dowager heard about it, she thought that her body seemed to be slightly thin, and she was not good enough, so she had withdrawn from the queen's competition, and depending on the emperor's liking, whether she wanted to be included in the harem to seal the concubine. - Generally speaking, the empress is set by the parents, but the emperor still has a certain degree of autonomy in the choice of the imperial concubine.

As Xu Xun saw, Wan's female appearance is beautiful and dusty, and she is also very good at being a female celebrity, she is quiet and silent, but she is very thoughtful in terms of etiquette, she can be regarded as a model figure among ladies, and she has met several times, and the remaining show girls can see the trembling in their hearts, but Wan's daughter is calm, just this bearing, it is already extraordinary. She is selfishly optimistic about the Wan family's daughters, and the rest of the Qian family girls and the Liu family's two daughters are all smiling and kind, as cute as Bai Yutuan'er, and Xu Xun is also very liked, but she doesn't want to pick these two people as concubines, so it is better to let them go out and marry on their own, with their family background, as well as the certification of the heavenly family that has been selected by thousands of people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry low.

She also told the Empress Dowager about this, "These girls have the same family background, if a queen is chosen, the rest might as well be sent home, so as not to stay in the palace, and it will also cause trouble to the future queen." ”

"It's troublesome again." The Empress Dowager's opinion has already been decided, "It won't be a few years, and there will be only one queen in the palace, right?" It is necessary to prepare a few concubines with both ability and integrity to be placed in the harem, this draft is already a huge cost, disturbing the people, don't you have to do it again in a few years? ”

Since the Wu Meiren incident, she has a great opinion on the upper position of the palace people, and from this point of view, it is also the most reasonable choice to leave a few concubines among the show girls.

Although theoretically I also know that even if this group of girls escapes, the next batch of show girls will still be selected, but after all, when I see the real person, I will still feel unbearable. Xu Xun also felt that he was quite contradictory, and to solve this matter, he still had to start from the root. However, it is still too early for the emperor to take charge of the government and the empress dowager is still alive.

The queen mother is naturally concerned about the future queen, her status is precious, it is inconvenient to come forward frequently, only summoned a few women, went to Qingning Palace to have tea once, and came back privately to be optimistic about Wan's daughter, "Overbearing, that temperament, heart, is indeed much more than the rest of the women, to be honest, if it weren't for the emperor, I really don't think it's worthy of her." ”

Xu Xun actually looked at it this way, but the Queen Mother could say this, she couldn't say it, so she had to laugh silently, "I don't know what the old lady made." ”

"It's been three months since I came in, and the palace rules and regulations are all learned quickly, and the six children are indeed smart," the queen mother also said, "Dongchang has also sent back information, the family background is innocent, and the family style is also good, when the old lady is in good health in a few days, take it and take a look, it should be able to settle down, right?" ”

"They are all good boys," Xu Xun said, "and they are both polite and affectionate to each other—"

said and smiled, "That's it, after all, she is the daughter of an official eunuch, she reads early and understands early." Where is it as muddy as when we entered the palace to be elected, in the palace, naturally know to be careful everywhere, if you will reveal your thoughts, I am afraid that you will be deposed long ago. ”

I can't help but say that the girls selected by this official family are of high quality, and the Queen Mother said, "Indeed, compared with us back then, although these little girls are about the same age, I look at their actions and behaviors, at least four or five years older than us back then." It seems that the concubines will be okay in the future, this queen must choose a taller one, otherwise it will be difficult to take on a big role. is like Wan's, who is superior to outstanding women everywhere, and is afraid that she will not be able to live at home in the future? ”

Xu Xun couldn't help laughing, the Queen Mother's tone of talking about things was really funny sometimes, "What do you mean, Sister Hu is not as high as you?" ”

"Isn't it?" The Queen Mother was straightforward at first, and then a little gloomy, "It's also a blessing that the eldest brother is not bolted, after all, it was done sloppily at that time, who can be a few points higher than whom?" If there is a person like Wan who is from a good background and is beautiful and talented, there will be no such moths in the palace. ”

Speaking of these things now, they are all like stories, and the sense of participation is very light, Xu Xun can't help but sigh when he thinks of Emperor Zhang-although he often worships incense in front of the imperial appearance map, but after all, it has been eight years, and now when he thinks of Emperor Zhang, his face is a little blurred, and his voice is not so clear, only what he said, what he has done, and how good he is really still vivid--but even so, the heart-rending regret and regret at that time have gradually faded away.

The next day, Xu Xun heard that the Empress Dowager had taken a few daughters to Renshou Palace to play, she was going to go over to ask for peace, but when she heard about it, she didn't go: if she also passed, the Empress Dowager also passed, the scene would be too formal. The Empress Dowager should have avoided such a situation, so she didn't say hello in advance.

went directly to Qingning Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to manage the government, and when it was dusk, she expected that all the women had gone back, so she and the Queen Mother went to Renshou Palace to ask for peace. When I entered the house, I saw the Empress Dowager and Hu Xianshi discussing several women, and even Hu Xianshi took Wan's family at a glance and praised her for being excellent, that is, the Empress Dowager, they all nodded and praised again and again, but when Hu Xianshi went to the clean room, Fang said, "Although Wan's daughter is good, she is not suitable for being the queen, I think, it is better to be a Qian woman." ”

Such a statement was completely unexpected by the two, and Xu Xun and the Queen Mother were very surprised. The Empress Dowager explained, "Although the Wan woman is outstanding everywhere, she is not as friendly and generous as the Qian woman, although her beauty is slightly inferior, but she is a suitable man." Besides, Zhu'er's temperament is a stubborn temper that refuses to let people, Wan's daughter is very good, but I think her personality is implicitly arrogant...... Hey, this husband and wife get along, not necessarily how beautiful and good the wife is, how happy and happy the wife is, the character of the wife is too arrogant, and she refuses to bow her head to her husband, and the two husbands and wives break up unhappily, is there still a lack of things? ”

She deliberately waited until Hu Xianshi was not present to say this, which clearly meant that Emperor Zhang and her marriage. The Queen Mother and Xu Xun are not good at saying anything, they are both people who know the inside story well, if Emperor Zhang and Hu Xianshi have even a little relationship, the Queen Mother will have no possibility of ascending to the throne at all.

From this point of view, Wan's woman's cold and self-contained character has become her Achilles' heel. The Queen Mother thought for a moment, and then said, "It's just like this, but it's not convenient to keep her as a concubine, this woman is beautiful, far better than the Qian girl, and her talent and virtue are not lost to her, but her personality is slightly inferior, if she stays in the palace as a concubine, I'm afraid-"

The Empress Dowager's dim old eyes looked at the Empress Dowager, and smiled at her tacitly, "Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, and now you know how to prevent trouble." ”

The Queen Mother's face was a little red, and Xu Xun hurriedly said with a soothing cheek, "If you want to depose her, I'm afraid that you have to send her away as soon as possible?" was seen by the bolt, if he likes it, it's not good. ”

The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's leave it until the final election, if Xuan'er falls in love with her at a glance and wants to choose her as the queen, it will also be a godsend." That little worry we had is gone. ”

This can be regarded as leaving a glimmer of opportunity for Wan's daughter, and the Queen Mother and Xu Xun all nodded and praised.

While speaking, Immortal Master Hu walked back, she didn't know anything about the past, and said with a smile, "That Qian girl, although I look good, but she is from the highest background, if the Wan family is the queen, I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient to keep her in the palace, right?" ”

The three women glanced at each other, and they all felt a little ridiculous, the Queen Mother half-jokingly said, "This hasn't entered the palace yet, it's already a grudge, and in the future, I'm afraid there will be no story." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, but she also saw through it, "In the backyard of the mansion, it is inevitable that there will be these, how can my heavenly family avoid it?" -- It's just that I won't say this again, because everyone knows it, and if you say it, you'll be down. ”

Xu Xun listened to this speech, thinking of the lessons she took before entering the palace, the words that Mama Qian often used to persuade her when she first entered the palace, a thousand words, could only turn into a helpless smile, she diverted the topic, "In this case, is it time to arrange the final election?" ”

"It's set in half a month." The Empress Dowager nodded, "Xuan'er was on vacation at that time, and I couldn't delay his homework." ”

There was no need for everyone to object, and the matter was settled, and there was no need to keep this kind of matter too secret - less than a day, the Qianqing Palace received the news, and the young emperor, who had just returned from school, leaned on the bed, and while letting the chamberlain pinch his feet, he casually listened to the matter of his confidant eunuch.

"The old lady looked at the Qian girl and felt that the Wan girl was too arrogant...... The Empress Dowager and the Concubine Niangniang all think that the Wan family is good, and although the Qian family is also good, they are the qualifications of the concubine - "With the growth of the emperor, whether it is some movements in the East Palace or the West Garden, they can't hide it from his ears and eyes. Of course, this is also because the Empress Dowager did not keep this matter a secret.

Listening to this, Zhu'er nodded slowly, a little brilliance flashing in his eyes, "I know-what a big deal, and I said it so carefully." ”

With a casual wave of his hand, several of the chamberlains retreated, leaned back, looked at the ceiling, bit his lower lip, and thought for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, so he smiled slightly, and then took another idle book and flipped through it casually.

In the final election half a month later, the emperor personally selected the daughter of the Qian family, "Marrying a wife and marrying virtue, the child heard that she has a generous and cautious, soft and tactful personality, and I think I will be able to preside over the six palaces." ”

chose Wan as a concubine, "Although the child also loves her beauty, but looking at her eyebrows, her personality seems to be a little arrogant, but she is not suitable for entering the middle palace, so she will be named a concubine." ”

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she heard this, "After all, she has grown up, this is what the Son of Heaven should have, yes, marrying a wife and marrying virtue, the Qian family is only slightly inferior to the Wan family, and entering the middle palace is the most suitable for her character." ”

Among the remaining four women, Liu and Zhou were also selected, but four were selected, and only two were not famous. -- The emperor's family affairs were decided in this way.

However, the marriage was not so fast - after completing the marriage of this grandson, the Empress Dowager seemed to have something on her mind, but she became more and more old and weak, but in two months, a cold wind made her show the appearance of the next life.
