Chapter Seventy-Four: Two Cities

Zhou Jingrui sat on the bed, the sun hit her body, but she couldn't feel any warmth, her whole body was cold, she didn't sleep all night, she had been waiting for Xiao Hanmo to come back, but wait, wait, wait, waited from dark to dawn, Xiao Hanmo still didn't come, she should have guessed this result a long time ago, didn't she?

"Crunch~" The door was pushed open, and the maid walked in with a group of maids.

"Princess, we were sent by the prince to serve you."

Zhou Jingrui's personal maid scolded: "What princess? This is the princess, who visited the prince yesterday and became the princess of the husband and wife. ”

The maid's eyes were full of contempt that could not be concealed, and she said respectfully: "The prince said yesterday that there is only a princess in the palace, and there is no princess. ”

Zhou Jingrui remembered that she had been favored by thousands of people in Weiguo, and since she came to the Wind Country, it has not been as smooth as before, so she married in like this, how will she live in the future? She remembered that Zhou Zizhen had persuaded her to choose Prime Minister Xun Lingjun instead of this Xiao Hanmo, Xiao Hanmo was obviously cold to her, she was like a demon, regardless of Zhou Zizhen's objections, she chose Xiao Hanmo, she regretted it.

Zhou Jingrui was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The maid asked someone to call a doctor over, after all, Zhou Jingrui is still a useful flag, and the prince has also ordered to serve with good food and drink, so they can't be too mean.

"Yo! Since he is not in good health, he does not need to go to the palace to see His Majesty, Concubine Xian, and Ning Guiren. Xiao Hanmo leaned against the door frame.

Zhou Jingrui raised her head, her eyes were black now, and she looked vague all around, but she recognized Xiao Hanmo's side.

The people around also saluted: "I've seen the prince." ”

Xiao Hanmo turned around and left, ignoring Zhou Jingrui in a red wedding dress.

After Xiao Hanmo got married, Xiao Tianyu's concubine selection also began to be put on the agenda, and Shen Xingzhou's training had also ended, and he returned to Xiao Tianyu's side.

Finally came to the day of the concubine selection, Xiao Tianyu was allowed to take a three-day vacation, in short, marriage leave, which was proposed by the ministers, to give enough time for Xiao Tianyu and the concubines to "make villains", Xiao Tianyu's resistance was opposed, Xiao Tianyu assured that he was very passionate about his work, but was ruthlessly rejected by the ministers.

Xiao Tianyu was shouted by Gu Yunlong early in the morning, Xiao Tianyu was sitting there being fiddled with by the palace maids, she hadn't slept enough! Xiao Tianyu protested silently with dark circles under her eyes.

Shen Xingzhou was kind and relieved: "Your Majesty, after today, there are many young and beautiful concubines waiting for you, you should feel happy." ”

Xiao Tianyu complained: "Shen Xingzhou, you like it so much, I can also give it to you." ”

Shen Xingzhou waved his hand again and again, "My subordinates don't like it, my subordinates already have a heart, and they want to guard her like a jade!" ”

Xiao Tianyu sighed: "You should also plan for yourself, anyway, I can't count on it." Shen Xingzhou, you said it would be better for me to choose someone to come in. ”

Shen Xingzhou thought for a while, "Your Majesty, in fact, you can be selected to stand in front of you, a girl who should have a good family background and good conduct, at this time, it is up to Your Majesty to see who is pleasing to the eye." ”

"I don't like anyone." Xiao Tianyu didn't have a good airway.

Xiao Tianyu was full of anger, sitting at the dinner table, the table full of delicious food couldn't be seen, and his mind was full of waiting to choose a concubine, but he felt ridiculous and had no appetite to eat.

Gu Yunlong could also understand Xiao Tianyu's mood, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter how uncomfortable you feel in your heart, the dragon body is still important, and it will be time soon, you can eat a few bites!" ”

Xiao Tianyu picked up a bun, but he couldn't eat it, so he gave the bun to Gu Yunlong, "I'm rewarding you, go to Chuxiu Palace." ”

Chuxiu Palace is the place of the draft, and the show girls are all standing in the rehearsal queue, ready to be received by Xiao Tianyu.

The show girls are all young, beautiful, and gorgeous, like butterflies in the flowers, it is because of their flower-like age that Xiao Tianyu doesn't want them to enter the cannibalistic cage of the palace, and they will be lonely all their lives, and they will not be able to pursue love in this life.

Today, there must be sacrifices.

Rows of show girls walked in front of Xiao Tianyu, and Xiao Tianyu couldn't be ruthless.

Gu Yunlong reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have to choose someone, this show girl is about to go through it all." ”

Xiao Tianyu rubbed his eyes, "Too many are too beautiful, pick my eyes, I haven't thought about it yet, let those show girls go again." ”

"This ......" Gu Yunlong hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for letting a show girl go twice!" ”

Xiao Tianyu glanced at Gu Yunlong, "Let you go, you will go, what so much nonsense!" It's after today. ”

This time, the show girls walked through, and Xiao Tianyu randomly picked five show girls who looked quite pleasing to the eye.

The queen, that is, the former virtuous concubine, said quite virtuously: "Your Majesty, there are not many people in the harem, even if these five show girls are one person and one palace, and they are not even satisfied with the palace, Your Majesty might as well pick a few more." ”

The harem of this era is similar to the harem system of the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Tianyu used to wonder if there were some buddies who had crossed over, but she flipped through the annals of history and didn't notice the existence of any traversers, at this time, the harem, how could there be thirty or fifty concubines, Xiao Tianyu This is indeed too little, so no matter whether the queen is jealous or not, she has to persuade Xiao Tianyu to take more concubines, but whether Xiao Tianyu listens or not is his business, as long as she doesn't find fault with the official.

Xiao Tianyu had a dark face, and reluctantly chose some more show girls, and made up enough for ten, and the entire harem added up to twelve people, which was enough to form a football team.

The queen's face is not very good-looking, she can't choose a woman for her husband with a smile, and these women still have to stuff their husband's bed in the end, she can only maintain a dignified smile, hoping that Xiao Tianyu can see her beautiful appearance, but unfortunately Xiao Tianyu didn't even look at her.

Of these ten people, Xiao Tianyu canonized them on the spot, and he didn't set the title, so he sealed two nobles, three Changzai and five promised.

After the draft, Xiao Tianyu went to the queen's palace to eat, and the queen had moved from Zhongcui Palace to the queen's special residence - Jingren Palace.

The queen saw that Xiao Tianyu hadn't eaten much, and said with concern: "Your Majesty is thinking about those sisters who have just entered the palace?" ”

Xiao Tianyu fiddled with the rice in the bowl and lied, "I'm thinking about those twists and turns, although the prime minister helped me share the burden, but I still think about it." ”

The queen complimented: "Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, it is really a model for the world, but you need to combine work and rest, Your Majesty does not need to go to court in the past three days, and you should communicate more with the sisters in the harem." ”

Xiao Tianyu didn't eat that, Shen Xingzhou gave her a batch of medicine yesterday, so that she could go to "Linxing" those concubines, but Xiao Tianyu was annoyed in her heart, feeling that she was a scumbag, and she had a heavy burden in her heart, and she kept praying in her heart that the cavalry would train well quickly, and she would have an excuse not to go to the harem, which was her only hope.

Gu Yunlong walked in, "Your Majesty, the people from the respectful room are here." ”

"Let them in."

The eunuch in the worship room came in with a plate with the names of the concubines on it.

If Xiao Tianyu has something he likes to eat, he will choose to eat it until he gets tired of eating, mainly because Xiao Tianyu is single-minded, and for the harem, he is mainly a pet, and he will always like which concubine he likes, just like Ning Guiren before, until she does something unseemly, Xiao Tianyu will be disappointed in it, and then choose the next lucky one.

For those new concubines, Xiao Tianyu prefers a cousin of Xun Lingjun, Xiao Tianyu feels that Xun Lingjun is a humble gentleman, does not like to cause trouble, and always stays in the most suitable place for him, Xiao Tianyu feels that since he is Xun Lingjun's cousin, it should be similar to him, and it is estimated that he is not a troublemaker.

Xiao Tianyu flipped through Xun Guiren's brand.

"It seems that Your Majesty likes Xun Guiren quite much." The queen was a little confused.

"It's alright! I like the prime minister a lot, and I think the prime minister's cousin should not be bad. Xiao Tianyu is full of beautiful imagination for Xun Guiren.

In the evening, Xiao Tianyu went to Chuxiu Palace and saw Xun Guiren, who looked like Xun Lingjun between her eyebrows and eyes, dignified and atmospheric, and was a girl with a very scholarly temperament.

When Xun Guiren saw Xiao Tianyu for the first time, he was very nervous, "The concubine knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

"Hurry up." Xiao Tianyu said.

Xun Guiren stood up, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Tianyu.

Somehow, Xiao Tianyu's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he didn't have the feeling of dying anymore, "Xun Guiren, you are the prime minister's cousin, I haven't seen the prime minister for a day today, looking at you, it's like seeing the prime minister." ”

Xun Guiren said timidly: "Your Majesty, the concubine and the prime minister do look a little similar, and many people think so. ”

Xiao Tianyu pinched Xun Guiren's little hand, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating tiger, sit." ”

Xun Guiren sat down carefully.

Xiao Tianyu looked at this face that looked like Xun Lingjun, and felt in his heart, "I remember that when I first ascended the throne, it was the prime minister who taught me how to give instructions and how to deal with the government. ”

Xun Guiren's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he obviously relaxed a little, "The concubine was also afraid of her cousin when she was a child, and whenever the concubine was disobedient, the concubine's mother would take her cousin as an example, and let the concubine see how good her cousin was every day. Sometimes the cousin came to the concubine's house as a guest, and if the concubine's behavior was a little inappropriate, the cousin would reprimand the concubine. ”

Xiao Tianyu said with a smile: "It seems that we are also fated." ”

With the beginning of the joke, the two began to chat enthusiastically, Xiao Tianyu also unexpectedly learned a lot of Xun Lingjun's troubles when he was a child, Xiao Tianyu felt that Xun Lingjun's character image was also plump, he only knew his good side before, he looked as flawless as a fairy, and it turned out that there would be a lot of unknown troubles when he was a child.

The queen sat in Jingren Palace with a gloomy face, she had now reached the position of queen, she thought she would be very happy, but she didn't have any words of joy in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable.

The palace maid saluted, "Queen Mother, it's time to sleep, the lights in Chuxiu Palace are out." ”

The queen asked lightly, "How is Your Majesty getting along with Xun Guiren?" ”

The palace maid hesitated.

"Say, what can't be said."
