Chapter 1: The Draft

Next Chapter

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"Is the draft over? Let's go back to dinner. Feng Xiyan, who was holding his chin with one hand on the dragon chair, was suddenly startled, opened his eyes in a daze, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and was about to get up.

Wang Rong behind her quietly tugged at her sleeve and whispered: "Your Majesty, the draft is not over yet, there are already several show girls performing in front of you, take a look, is there anything you like?" ”

Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting on the side, glanced down her eyes and said slowly, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities every day, and it is very hard, but the draft is a major event for the continuation of the heirs, and it is always necessary to have a snack." ”

Feng Xiyan smiled and nodded, if it was really an heir, then she estimated that she would have to be on the Hulunbuir Prairie.

In her previous life, although she always took the blame for her boss, and in the end she was killed by a long-standing colleague, but at least the gender is visible, and now this identity looks like a cow fork flashing, but who can understand the bad heart of an emperor who dresses as a man and is forced by the queen mother to choose a concubine?

She rubbed her eyes that were still shining, and glanced at the show girls under the high platform, who were fat and thin, each with their own posture, or dignified and generous, or beautiful and lovely, and a few who wanted to attract attention by fancy clothes, tsk......

Feng Xiyan casually pointed to a more pleasing looking one on the side, "Just her!" ”

In the various expressions of unknown meaning of everyone, the green tendons on the forehead of the "beauty" jumped, and the cold air exuded from her body, which made Feng Xiyan on the high platform shiver involuntarily.

Wang Rong was inexplicably embarrassed, leaned over and said with a low smile: "Look at Your Majesty's joke, everyone has to take it seriously, who made our Father-in-law Candle look so beautiful, and actually compared some women, hehehehe......"

There was silence in the field, only Wang Rong's laughter echoed in everyone's ears.

Feng Xiyan's eyes widened in shock, staring at the ...... "big beauty" not far away who wanted to be beautiful and in shape, and turned his head to ask Wang Rong with a grin, "He, he's a eunuch?" ”

"Of course, Grandpa Candle has been serving in the Jinluan Palace, and today he is temporarily transferred to duty, but His Highness thinks there is anything wrong?" Wang Rong lowered his head and observed Feng Xiyan quietly, for fear of missing any trace of her emotions.

Obviously, Feng Xiyan didn't notice it, sighed secretly, and muttered: "It's a pity, it's a pity that he looks so good, he is actually a eunuch." ”

The corners of Wang Rong's mouth twitched silently, and his eyes quietly swept over Shangguan Candle not far away.

Empress Dowager Li pinched the teacup with her hand covered with bright red Kodan, took a sip, and said slowly in a long voice: "Your Majesty, this draft girl is not a child's play, you must not judge the quality of a woman just from her appearance, but also see whether she has both ability and political integrity, whether she is an innocent woman from everyone, this is to go through layers of screening, not arbitrary." ”

"Oh!" Feng Xiyan nodded, "I have seen it for a long time, originally I thought that the draft girl only needed to meet my heart, but there are still so many rules." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Empress Dowager Li squeezed the hand of the tea cup for a moment, and her delicate face was distorted for a moment, "Is Your Majesty blaming the mourning family for being troublesome?" ”

"How dare you?" Feng Xiyan looked innocent, "Erchen just said something unintentionally, don't mind the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Li breathed a sigh of relief and snorted lightly, "How can the mourning family be so stingy, since Your Majesty wants to end it early, the mourning family will recommend one person, if they feel that they are on par with that person, they will perform on their own, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"This is the best," Feng Xiyan suddenly came to his senses, "Anyway, these embroidered girls are all chosen by the queen mother, who is good and who is bad, the queen mother knows best, so the ministers have a lot of peace of mind." ”

The Queen Mother's chest is a little blocked, why do these words sound so harsh?

She stiffened her face and waved her long sleeves, "Then the second miss of Bachelor Ji's family, play music." ”

The woman who was named was very proud, walked out and bent over, stepped to the high platform, flicked her long sleeves, and swept Feng Xiyan with a pair of watery eyes, and the willow waist that was not in her hand was lightly twisted out of a coquettish softness, a pair of jade legs appeared from time to time, and the already small clothes almost showed fragrant shoulders.

Even if Feng Xiyan is a woman, she can see the purpose of this woman, she is flirting with herself, and she is still the kind who wants to lose face.

She noticed that the woman always glanced at the light in her eyes seemingly casually, and she thought to herself.

With the boldness and explicit nature of the first show girl, the women behind were even more energetic to perform on stage, until a woman with northern ethnic characteristics wanted to go on stage with a suona, Feng Xiyan hurriedly raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, "I'm a little tired." ”

With so many women vying to wink at her, she was really tired. Tired.

Wang Rong was very eye-catching, and leaned up and asked, "Your Majesty, what about the draft ......?"

"That's Ji Ruyu." Feng Xiyan got up and arched his hand towards the queen mother, "Queen Mother, the sons have to go back to deal with official business, and the queen mother will help the sons and daughters take care of the rest." ”

"State affairs are important, Your Majesty will go back first." Empress Dowager Li smiled and nodded, anyway, as long as that person enters the harem, everything else is dispensable.

Feng Xiyan sat on the dragon chariot and went all the way back to the imperial study, pounced on the table full of folds, and opened a book at random, trying to distinguish the words on it.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light, and she waved her hand unhappily, "Wang Rong, you are blocking my light, don't hurry up and get out of the way." ”

"Yes."

A low and pleasant voice came, but the figure in front of him did not move away for half a minute.

Feng Xiyan was taken aback, this was not Wang Rong's voice, she raised her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of her, his long eyebrows with sideburns could be vaguely seen in the backlight, and his white and beardless face was like a knife with gold edges, but the aura around her body made people fall into the abyss.

"Grandpa Candle?" Feng Xi tilted his head in confusion, "You're not on an errand in the Imperial Garden, why are you here?" What about the royal mushroom? ”

Shangguan Candle looked at her silently for a while, then walked up to her, "The affairs of the Imperial Garden have been completed, Wang Rong has other things to do, and he will not be able to come over for a while." ”

After speaking, he took the ink very familiarly, put it in the inkstone and slowly studied it, with an elegant posture and a focused expression, as if he was going to consume it with one end of the inkstone.

Feng Xiyan was a little uncomfortable, this candle father-in-law is very beautiful, but I don't know if it was because he was castrated or what he had experienced, it always gave people a feeling of femininity and danger, which made her feel a little square in her heart.

She coughed lightly and forced herself to calm down, "Why don't you go down first, and let me stay by myself for a while." ”
