But these ministers didn't know that this palace might not be a ladder to heaven for their daughters, but a road to hell.

"Seeing that His Majesty has always favored the queen alone, he knew that His Majesty must not be very satisfied with the previous three concubines, so the ministers discussed and felt that His Majesty might have his own favorite if he accepted more concubines."

Xiao Shujun didn't want to hear them say these bullshit, so he dispersed directly.

This matter caused a lot of uproar, and Xu Qingran naturally heard about it.

But she doesn't want more women in this harem like Su Lianrong! However, he is also soft-spoken, so he can only pray that Xiao Shujun will not agree to the ministers' proposals.

Xiao Shujun went down to the court and returned to Soft Xiangyuan with a lot of worries, not knowing how to face Qin Kexin.

Unexpectedly, Qin Kexin was already waiting for Xiao Shujun in Soft Xiangyuan.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines of the early dynasty heard about it today." Qin Kexin made no secret of anything.

Seeing that Qin Kexin knew everything, in order not to let Qin Kexin be distracted, Xiao Shujun hurriedly explained; "Don't worry, the queen, I won't listen to the advice of those ministers, and I won't accept the harem anymore!"

But Qin Kexin shook his head: "But the concubine doesn't want His Majesty to be in a dilemma because of the concubine, so it's better to do what the ministers say!" ”

Xiao Shujun immediately became a little annoyed after hearing this: "No! How can I let those ministers lead me by the nose? What's more, I don't want the queen to be wronged anymore. ”

With Xiao Shujun's words, Qin Kexin's heart warmed a lot.

"Your Majesty, you heard from the concubines that those ministers just wanted to send their daughters to the palace, and Your Majesty might as well do what they wanted, and take the daughters of those ministers who had this mind into the palace, so that they could be gagged and prevent future troubles." Qin Kexin saw it thoroughly.

But Xiao Shujun still didn't mean to agree, "If there are more women in the harem, what if the real queen is wronged again." Looking at Qin Kexin, who was so sensible, Xiao Shujun suddenly felt a little distressed.

Qin Kexin knew that Xiao Shujun didn't want to compromise herself, but Qin Kexin knew that since the day she became the queen, it meant that she should do something for the overall situation, "If Your Majesty really doesn't want your concubine to be wronged, then it's just like now, it's good to be by your concubine's side all the time." ”

Qin Kexin knew that if Xiao Shujun wanted to spoil other women, he would not be able to stop him, but this time Qin Kexin still chose to believe in Xiao Shujun and believe in himself, and other women could not shake the relationship between himself and Xiao Shujun.

Hearing Qin Kexin say this, Xiao Shujun seemed to be a little shaken, because Xiao Shujun could really guarantee that he would not be confused by other women, and this was indeed a good way to make those ministers completely shut up.

"Then I will ask those ministers to send all the women who want to be sent to the palace tomorrow morning, and let them shut up completely, but the queen can rest assured, except for the queen, I will not be tempted by other women." Xiao Shujun promised again and again, for fear that Qin Kexin would misunderstand him again.

Qin Kexin knew that no one could control the heartbeat, if one day Xiao Shujun was really attracted to other women, then there was nothing he could do, but at least Xiao Shujun was sincere now, Qin Kexin didn't want to spoil the fun, so he responded; "The concubine believes in His Majesty's sincerity."

Yu'er on the side understood Qin Kexin's forbearance and consideration of the overall situation, and inevitably added a little admiration to Qin Kexin in her heart, thinking that this might be the demeanor that the mother of a country should have.

However, Yu'er was also glad for Qin Kexin, she was the queen who thought she was the emperor like this!

"Come, I haven't eaten enough in the morning, and the queen will accompany me to eat some pastries." This matter was agreed, and Xiao Shujun's mood also relaxed.

When Yu'er on the side heard this, she knew that Her Majesty wanted to eat the pastries made by the queen mother again, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring the pastries that the queen had prepared in advance.

Xiao Shujun is not a good person, but he has a soft spot for the pastries made by Qin Kexin.

"The morning dew osmanthus cake made by the queen before is a must with the glutinous rice cake now, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to eat the third cake made by the queen." Xiao Shujun ate the bowl and thought about the pot!

"As long as Your Majesty wants to, it's no problem to eat more than a dozen kinds." It's not easy to coax Xiao Shujun to be happy, Qin Kexin is simply handy.

Xiao Shujun really laughed heartily when he heard this, and hugged Qin Kexin beside him, his movements were full of spoiling, Qin Kexin was frightened by Xiao Shujun's sudden intimate actions because of the large number of palace maids next to him, but no matter how Qin Kexin struggled, Xiao Shujun didn't let go, and the dead Qin Kexin hugged him in his arms, for fear that as soon as he let go, Qin Kexin would disappear

Qin Kexin was helpless, so she could only snuggle up in Xiao Shujun's arms, but after really leaning completely on Xiao Shujun's arms, Qin Kexin actually felt that Xiao Shujun's arms were really comfortable.

Yu'er on the side blushed, and the other palace maids were also snickering.

The next morning, Xiao Shujun announced the news that he had promised to accept a concubine, and asked all the ministers to send all the candidates they wanted to recommend into the palace, and they might have a chance to enter the palace, but Xiao Shujun also said in advance that this was the last time he would accept a concubine.

Although Xiao Shujun said that this was the last time, those ministers felt that it was inappropriate, but they thought that this time they might be able to make their daughter a concubine like a palace, so they reluctantly agreed.

"Since all Aiqing has no objections, then send people to the palace tomorrow." For this matter, Xiao Shujun doesn't want to spend too much thought, he wants to solve it quickly!

"Come, give me the bowl, I'll feed it."

"What, there is a new person who wants to enter the palace?" Xu Qingran was very surprised when he heard Qing'er's report that Xiao Shujun had agreed to the advice of the loyal ministers to continue to recruit the harem, and at the same time he was worried about himself, he didn't even get a Qin Kexin, and now what if there were more concubines!

"The slave maid heard that not only are there newcomers entering the palace, but there are many newcomers who are going to enter the palace!" Qing'er continued to report.

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Qingran was frightened by Qing'er's news.

"I heard that this time His Majesty is going to accept all the concubines who should be accepted at one time, but fortunately, there is no next time, and His Majesty has issued an order to explain that this is the last time he will accept a concubine." Qing'er wanted to try her best to reassure Xu Qingran, but she didn't know that Xu Qingran was now uneasy.

I thought that I had already touched Xiao Shujun's backscale because of showing off with Qin Kexin before, and it would be difficult to win favor in front of Xiao Shujun, if some rare and beautiful newcomers came in, wouldn't my life in this palace be even more sad?

"Niangniang, tomorrow is the day when His Majesty personally selects the new concubine to enter the palace, should we prepare something in advance?" Qing'er saw that Xu Qingran's face was full of anxiety, and her hand tightly pulled the fan in her hand, wanting to share her worries.

When Xu Qingran heard this, he first threw aside the fan in his hand that was about to be torn by himself, and sighed: "What else can you prepare?" Now I don't even know that those people have entered the palace. ”

Xu Qingran already wanted to break the jar.

But Qing'er is so heartfelt, how can she bear to be wronged by her master, "Niangniang, don't hide it, the slave maid has already come up with a plan!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Qingran's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up again, and he looked at Qing'er with a little expectation, "What plan?" ”

Qing'er saw that her master actually had the intention to deal with those new concubines who had just entered the palace, so she hurried a few steps closer and said without any taboos: "Since Niangniang is worried that those newcomers will enter the palace to compete with Niangniang for favor, it is better to let those beautiful women have some accidents tomorrow before Your Majesty meets them!" Let His Majesty see all the crooked melons and cracked dates, and naturally the ones who are selected to enter the palace are all crooked melons and cracked dates, so naturally no one will threaten the mother. ”

After hearing this, Xu Qingran thought about it carefully, and felt that the method that Qing'er said was indeed a good way.

After Qing'er told Xu Qingran what to do, Xu Qingran immediately decided to follow Qing'er's method tomorrow, and asked Qing'er to make some preparations tonight.

On the second day, Xiao Shujun, Qin Kexin and the three concubines selected before sat on the main hall, waiting for the women sent into the palace by the ministers to come up to the palace, and let Xiao Shujun choose the person who could enter the palace as a concubine.

Xiao Shujun was very idle, and he didn't take the selection for a while seriously, it was best to select everyone, so that those ministers could completely shut up.

Qin Kexin and Wei Ruqian don't care, Wei Ruqian doesn't have the heart to think about this matter, because she doesn't have the heart to compete for favor at all, but Qin Kexin believes in Xiao Shujun and believes that he will not fall in love with other women.

Compared with these people, Xu Qingran and Su Lianrong have their own hearts, Su Lianrong and Xu Qingran's mentality is just the opposite, one wants Xiao Shujun to choose more women who have the strength to compete with Qin Kexin, and the other wants Xiao Shujun to choose more crooked melons and cracked dates.

The woman sent to the palace by the ministers was outside for the last round of inspections by the grandmothers.

And Qing'er has been observing for a long time, ready to put into action the strategy discussed with Xu Qingran last night, and quickly walked over at the right time, "Come, ladies and grandmothers, little masters, the weather is hot, Concubine Qing Niangniang specially prepared some herbal tea, let's drink it first and then continue." ”

As he spoke, he took the tea from the palace maid holding the tea behind him and distributed it one by one.

In the hot summer, the palace maids and grandmothers who had been checking and being inspected outside were drenched in sweat, and they were thinking that it would be good to have a sip of herbal tea to drink, but they didn't expect that someone really sent charcoal in the snow, so they quickly took the herbal tea and drank it all.

"Thank you for the slave and maid." After drinking the herbal tea, the mother felt refreshed.

Qing'er saw that everyone had drunk the herbal tea cleanly, and smiled knowingly, "Concubine Qing said that as long as you drink happily, she will be happy, and there is no need to thank you or anything, you continue to be busy, and the slave and maid will retire first." With that, he left.

"Concubine Qing is such a good person."

"Yes, yes, I have long heard that in this harem, you are the most beautiful and lovely concubine, but I didn't expect your heart to be so kind."

The fledgling women began to let down their guard after receiving a little favor and a small favor.

"Okay, don't talk about it, save some strength to deal with the emperor for a while, think about how you can stand out!" Mama heard that everyone who was not deeply involved in the world began to talk about the concubines in the palace, and hurriedly interrupted.
