Qin Kexin fell into Xiao Shujun's arms and said in a very worried tone: "If Your Majesty really has someone you like in the future, you must tell the concubine in person, don't let the concubine guess by herself, that would be too cruel." ”

Although Xiao Shujun just said that he was joking, Qin Kexin still couldn't rest assured, after all, love to the bones will suffer from gains and losses!

Xiao Shujun nodded when he heard this, but then said: "Don't worry, the queen, you are the only person I like in this life." ”

Qin Kexin nodded in response to Xiao Shujun, signaling that he believed what Xiao Shujun said.

However, Qin Kexin thought in his heart that when the two fell in love, they would naturally easily say the oath of the mountain alliance and the sea, Xiao Shujun was of course sincere now, but people's hearts were the easiest to change, if Xiao Shujun met someone better than himself in the future, he would easily forget the sincere oath between the two at this moment, not to mention the emperors of the past dynasties, which one of them was the only one!

Since Qin Kexin had reached a consensus on the matter of recruiting concubines, Xiao Shujun had no worries, so he informed the ministers that he was preparing to recruit the harem, and asked the ministers to recommend some virtuous and virtuous women, and weigh the portraits so that they could choose the candidates for the harem concubines.

The ministers were naturally happy to see that their death had really worked, so they went back to find the best painter to paint the portrait of their daughter, and then weighed the portrait for Xiao Shujun to choose.

In the early dynasties alone, Xiao Shujun received no less than fifty self-portraits, including not only the daughters of the ministers, but also the daughters of the seven aunts and eight aunts of the ministers......

Xiao Shujun looked at the ministers who seemed to have been selected by his daughter, and shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Shujun was worried when he looked at the portraits sent by the ministers, and he didn't want to take a look, let alone personally select his concubines from them, and when he thought that some of the women in this portrait would become his concubines, Xiao Shujun was inexplicably anxious.

I really didn't want to take a second look, Xiao Shujun actually brought these dozens of portraits of women to Soft Xiangyuan and asked Qin Kexin to choose them for himself.

"Your Majesty lets the concubines choose, does you let the concubines choose the ones that look good? Or is it ugly? Anyone can understand the meaning of Qin Kexin's words, she should pick something beautiful for Xiao Shujun, but if she is really selfish, she will pick some ugly ones for Xiao Shujun, so that she will not compare herself to herself.

Although he knew the meaning of Qin Kexin's words, Xiao Shujun actually said in a doting tone: "As long as the queen is willing, I will pick a few women who are as ugly as pigs, and I will accept them." ”

The sweet pet meaning in these words almost stunned Yu'er on the side!

Qin Kexin laughed when she heard this, knowing that Xiao Shujun was blatantly conniving at his own misdeeds, but Qin Kexin couldn't do that, whether it was ugly or beautiful or compromised, it was against Qin Kexin's heart, Qin Kexin didn't like this feeling, so he returned the portrait to Xiao Shujun's hands, "This beautiful concubine can't help Your Majesty choose, Your Majesty should go find someone else!" ”

Xiao Shujun knew that it was really embarrassing for her to let Qin Kexin pick this, so he didn't want to embarrass her anymore.

Looking at the portrait that Qin Kexin handed to him, Xiao Shujun's head was dizzy again! He handed the portraits to the eunuch beside him.

"Then I'll go to King Ning to help me pick and choose, King Ning likes to see beautiful women very much." Xiao Shujun quipped.

"Then go quickly, Your Majesty." Qin Kexin wanted Xiao Shujun to settle this matter quickly, and his psychology was so good.

Xiao Shujun also wanted to settle this matter quickly, so he dismantled people to invite Xiao Shuwei, and he waited for him in the imperial study.

Xiao Shujun heard from his father-in-law that Xiao Shujun invited himself to see the beauty, and immediately rushed to the harem.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the palace, I didn't see any beauties, and when I saw the woman on the portrait, I knew that I was tricked by Xiao Shujun.

"Quickly help me choose a few, I am very dazzled by these portraits." Seeing Xiao Shuwei stunned in place, Xiao Shujun urged.

"The emperor's own women don't pick by himself, but let the courtiers choose, is it possible that he wants to send a few beauties to the courtiers?" Xiao Shuwei quipped.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Xiao Shujun is really worried that he can't find a place to place these women who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes.

"Don't, don't." Hearing this, Xiao Shuwei hurriedly refused, "These women all want to be the emperor's women, if you let them know that they will become my Ning Wang's women in the end, they won't pick my skin!" Xiao Shuwei joked.

"Since you know this, why don't you hurry up and choose for me?" Xiao Shujun didn't have the heart to joke, he just wanted to solve this troublesome matter quickly.

Sometimes Xiao Shujun couldn't help but think, if he knew that the emperor had to accept the harem, he might not have been the emperor in the first place, and it would be a good choice for him and Qin Kexin to live forever in a place like Qin Wangfu.

When Xiao Shuwei heard this, she knew that Xiao Shujun was in a hurry, so she hurriedly took the portrait and picked it up.

Xiao Shujun has a unique vision, and he will definitely choose the most beautiful one for Xiao Shujun, although he feels a little sorry for Qin Kexin, but Xiao Shuwei does not allow himself to sell his eyes that find beauty!

But Xiao Shuwei was stunned when she turned to the fourth portrait, the portrait turned out to be Su Lianrong with a light smile, for so many years, Xiao Shuwei knew that Victory Day was in love with her, how could she compete for the place of harem concubines now?

Xiao Shujun noticed Xiao Shuwei's paused, so he turned his head to find out, and also saw Su Lianrong on the portrait, so he said: "If you are reluctant, I don't choose, it is estimated that the old thing of Prime Minister Su forced his daughter to choose a concubine." Xiao Shujun knew that Su Lianrong liked Xiao Shuwei, but she didn't know Xiao Shuwei's thoughts.

Hearing this, Xiao Shuwei waved her hand, "Brother Huang can still choose, and it can be regarded as helping me make a decision with her." Xiao Shuwei doesn't like Su Lianrong, but seeing Su Lianrong chasing herself hard for so many years, she actually feels a little sorry for her, and now that Su Lianrong's portrait appears here, it means that Su Lianrong wants to open it by herself and wants to let go of herself, so she happens to be relieved, and she doesn't have to face her with guilt from time to time.

Xiao Shujun understood what Xiao Shuwei meant, so he immediately decided that Su Lianrong would be the first to enter the list.

Because there has long been a convention, the emperor has to go through a lot of screening when choosing a concubine, so Xiao Shuwei selected ten beautiful women to enter the next round of selection, as for how many can win in the end, it all depends on Xiao Shujun's mood and their creation.

Xiao Ruoxue is such a person who can seize opportunities, and her portrait is naturally among the dozens of portraits just now, but Xiao Shuwei saw that she was almost directly screened out, because Xiao Shuwei knew that although Xiao Ruoxue was good-looking, she was not virtuous, and such a woman was not worthy of being Xiao Shujun's concubine, so Xiao Ruoxue did not even enter the list of women to be determined.

It's a shame to say it!

Xiao Ruoxue knew the news of her defeat, and she was already going crazy in King Qi's mansion!

"Sister, it's really not easy for you to be selected in the first round, you must seize this opportunity, you must know that this opportunity is something that the county lord of King Qi's Mansion can't even get through his head." Su Yunxi knew that his sister Su Lianrong was among the candidates for concubine, so he hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give advice to Su Lianrong.

Su Lianrong also wondered why she was chosen so easily, was it really because of good luck, or did the emperor take a fancy to her portrait?

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely cherish this opportunity." Anyway, I have been selected, and I am one step away from reaching the top, and I can't give up.

Although Su Lianrong still occasionally thinks of Xiao Shuwei now, she hides it very well, and since she has made this decision, there is no turning back.

"In three days, the emperor will select three direct concubines from the ten people you have been selected, you already have the blessing of the prime minister's daughter, presumably as long as you make a little preparation, you will definitely be selected." Su Yunxi asked again.

"I see." Su Yunxi asked over and over again, and Su Lianrong's ears were about to become calloused.

However, Su Lianrong felt strange that her sister had never cared much about herself since she was a child, why was she so meticulous about herself now, so she asked: "What does my sister think about me so much for becoming the emperor's concubine." ”

Su Yunxi saw that Su Lianrong, who had never had any scheming, actually questioned herself like this, that is, Su Lianrong had grown up completely and would think about these complex issues by herself, but of course Su Yunxi couldn't directly tell Su Lianrong that the purpose of wanting her to make her a concubine was to let her help her deal with Qin Kexin, so she casually made up a touching reason: "Look at what you asked, what an honor it is to marry the emperor, my sister just wants my sister to marry better." ”

How terrible is a person who even has to calculate his own sister!

Su Lianrong was suspicious when she heard this, thinking that her sister might really have a conscience and suddenly wanted to care about her sister, so she didn't ask anything more.

Three days later.

The selection of concubines officially began.

Qin Kexin didn't want to come to join in the excitement, so as not to block herself, but who made her the mother of a country and the master of the harem, this kind of selection to add population to the harem, she had to participate, and she had to act as a judge.

Not to mention Qin Kexin, even Xiao Shujun didn't want to participate in this boring selection, because whoever won in the end seemed to have nothing to do with him, but if he didn't come forward, those annoying ministers would definitely say this and that, just thinking about Xiao Shujun felt a headache, I really couldn't understand why those officials were so idle every day!

Qin Kexin didn't know who chose the ten women standing low, they were all so marked, and Su Lianrong was actually listed, although she was curious if it was chosen by Xiao Shujun personally, but Qin Kexin didn't ask, so she seemed suspicious.
