Li Jingxi accompanied Duan Yulin to dinner, Duan Yulin leaned on the low couch in the side hall and looked at a booklet, Duan Yulin, who took off his court clothes, was a little less * and a little more feminine, the emperor when he was young was also a beautiful young man with a beautiful face, but as he grew older, he faded away and became so melancholy and calm. Li Jingxi was drinking tea while thinking about how to talk to the emperor about the prince and amber, and she seemed a little absent-minded for a while.

"What is the emperor looking at, so fascinated? Also ask the concubines to see? The graceful lady who came back to her senses smiled and really grabbed the booklet in Yulin's hand.

"If you really want to see it, give it to you." Duan Yulin also smiled and closed the booklet in his hand and handed it to Li Jingxi, and turned to admire the cool and beautiful side face of the graceful woman. Li Jingji took it and opened it to take a look, it was amazing, this was the roster of draft girls in this general election!

"This is the roster? The concubine has transgressed, this is not what the concubine should see. As he spoke, he was about to return the roster to the emperor, but at this time, Duan Yulin was already fascinated by the beauty of the curvaceous and did not take the roster back, but took the curvaceous hand and took her into his arms. The graceful sat on the emperor's lap, and the roster in his hand accidentally fell on his knee, and it happened to be still open.

"Why can't you see it? I'll see you. Not only do I want you to see, but I also want Li Zhaoyi to help me with my staff officers. As he spoke, he leaned closer to the ear and whispered, "I won't sue the queen about you, don't worry." ”

"The emperor is so serious! The concubine is respectful and obedient. Graceful seemed to flirt with the emperor, but she didn't shirk the move of looking at the roster anymore. Grace quickly browsed the roster, and sure enough, she saw several familiar names in the roster, including her cousin Li Shutian, Feng Qing, the sister of the queen and Yi Guifei, Jiang Lianhuan, the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, Fang Huishan, the daughter of the left governor of the Inspectorate, Xia Yunxi, the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy, and many other women's names, but their backgrounds are not as noble as the above, and some Li Jingxi are not familiar with them. After reading the roster and returning it to the emperor, she fell into thought for a while.

"How?" Duan Yulin took the booklet and put it on a few cases.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, they are all talented and beautiful." Graceful deliberately made a sour and jealous situation, which made the emperor laugh.

"You, you! Who can compare to your elegance as the 'No. 1 Beauty in Dahan', and it won't be your turn to be jealous! Duan Yulin pinched his graceful face dotingly. After the two laughed for a while, Duan Yulin said with a straight face: "You also know that this draft is not only to expand my Dahan harem, but also to select a group of outstanding ones to be given to several royal brothers and princes as concubines. Princess Jing died three years ago, and King Jing left the capital to travel the world due to the pain of losing his wife, and has not returned. I wanted to take this opportunity to find a good match for him, but unfortunately he couldn't come back this year, he has always been a casual person, so it doesn't matter; King Ning is also studying abroad, but he is still young, so he can watch it slowly; King Min is really at the age when he should marry a concubine, but don't look at this King Min's usual silence, but he has an idea, I'm afraid that he doesn't like it, but it's not beautiful. That's it, let him go! It seems that this time I can only choose a daughter-in-law for my sons. "At the age of 36 years old, the heirs of the emperor are still prosperous, the crown prince Duan Yingting and the second prince Duan Yingbi are twins, they are eighteen years old this year, and their biological mother is Zheng Wei'e; The third prince, Duan Yingjin, will be seventeen years old next month, and his biological mother is a singer in the mansion of the eldest princess of Hongluan. The fourth prince and the eldest daughter of the emperor Duan Xiang are the heirs of the queen, but it is a pity that the four princes died early before they were named, and the queen was once grief-stricken, Duan Yulin posthumously crowned him as the eternal king after ascending the throne, and Duan Xiang is more than eight years old this year; The fifth prince Duan Yingyu and the third daughter Duan Wan are also twins, they are not yet six years old this year, and their biological mother is Concubine Yi; The sixth prince Duan Yingping is currently the youngest child of the emperor, a few months before he turns five years old, he is smart and cute, but he was born blind, and his biological mother Xu Ying, the virtuous concubine, is looking for a famous doctor for her son, but there is no improvement; The second daughter of the emperor, Duan Xiu, is also seven years old, although her biological mother Zheng Jiye is a concubine, but she is estranged from the emperor because she is a cousin with the abolished queen, and even her own daughter can only be fostered under the knee of Concubine Ji Yeguang. During this period, there were other concubines who were pregnant, but they all had miscarriages or died soon after birth.

"Since it is to choose a concubine for the prince, why doesn't the emperor discuss with the queen? How do you want to discuss with the concubines, if the queen knows about it, there will be more trouble. "Amber's matter has not yet been completed, but the emperor wants to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and she doesn't know for a while whether it is right or wrong to agree to let Amber go back to Lintoe Palace.

"You know about this, if you leave the Ju Palace tomorrow morning, there will be no such thing, who will know?" Duan Yulin smiled and shook his head.

"Then you haven't told your concubine yet, why didn't you discuss it with the queen?"

"Of course, I want to talk to the queen, but I also want to hear your opinion. I think you know that Yingting and Yingbi were born by the Zheng family after the abolition, and the two brothers have always been not very close to the queen's stepmother, so I still want to arrange their marriage in person, and I can count it as my father as the emperor. Every time I remember my wife, Duan Yulin, there will always be a trace of sadness on her face, but it will only dissipate in an instant.

"Does the emperor want the prince to be happy?" Li Jingxi felt that this was an opportunity, and she could almost mention the amber thing.

"That's nature."

"The concubine wants to ask Your Majesty for a favor, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?"

"I promise you."

"The concubine hasn't said what kind of grace it is, why did Your Majesty agree?"

"Whatever you ask, I promise you, and now you can say it." Duan Yulin's love for Li Jingxi can be said to be beyond measure.

"The concubine's maidservant Amber, is the name given to me by the emperor when I entered the palace, she was originally serving the prince in the Linzhi Palace since she was a child, and the concubine wanted to ask the emperor to allow her to return to the Linzhi Palace." Li Jingxi bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Is it the meaning of the prince, or the meaning of the servant?" Duan Yulin smiled. The emperor disliked the previous dynasty and the harem the most, and when she saw this, she knew that the emperor suspected that there was any unnecessary connection between the Lintoe Palace and the Guan Ju Palace.

"It's the meaning of a concubine. Amber and the prince have a friendship that grew up together, and when she learned that the emperor would choose a concubine for the prince in this draft, she knew that she shouldn't have extravagant hopes, but she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. At the last family banquet, because the prince was also there, Amber did not go to the banquet with the concubine in order to avoid suspicion, and at that time, Concubine Yi also asked the concubine why Amber did not come, and the concubine only said that she was in poor health, and somehow it reached the ears of the prince. Unexpectedly, after the banquet was dispersed, the prince also specially sent someone to my palace to send a lot of medicinal materials, although Mingli said that it was filial piety to the concubines, but the concubines were not sick or disaster-free, what do you want these many medicinal materials to do? The palace people who knew the relationship between Amber and the prince knew the prince's intentions, which was clearly to send medicine to Amber by the hands of the concubines. It can be seen that the prince does not care about amber. Since the two have affection for each other, the concubine thinks why not be the beauty of adults? ”

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't he tell me directly about such a trivial matter, would I still not agree? ”

"Your Majesty, you said it was a trivial matter, you are busy with state affairs, how can the crown prince disturb Your Majesty because of such a trivial matter?"

"It's just to take a concubine, I'm right. It's just that I want to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and it's not good to let a slave marry in front of the crown princess. Wait for me to choose a concubine for the crown prince, and then give her to the prince together. Do you think so? ”

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful, the concubine hereby first mentions amber and thanked Your Majesty, and then the concubine will take her to thank God in person on the day of His Majesty's marriage." The stone in Li Jingxi's heart has only fallen to the ground, not only finalizing Amber's lifelong event, but also using the topic to fork the errand of the staff draft that offended the queen, why not.

"You have asked for grace for others, why don't you ask for grace for yourself?"

"With His Majesty's favor, the concubine has nothing else to ask for." Li Jingxi pretended to bow her head shyly, but she knew that this sentence was a big lie that was really against her will.

"You don't ask for it, but I want to give it. I plan to use this to give you the position of concubine on the occasion of the positioning of the show girls, and I have already instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the canonization, and when the draft is all arranged, I will let the queen give you a canonization ceremony. ”

"Concubines, but the emperor and queen are in charge." Graceful and blessed.

"It's not early, Concubine Ai will wait for me to rest." Although he has not yet been crowned a concubine, Duan Yulin has become a concubine, which shows that this promotion is imperative. The curvaceous concubine personally changed the emperor's clothes, and the two of them stopped after freshening up.

The next morning, Duan Yulin didn't have time to have breakfast and went to the morning court, and the emperor was not there, so Li Jingxi could easily clean herself up. Liuli and Amber came in to serve Li Jingxi to freshen up, and she instructed Liuli to put away the gorgeous clothes and decorations from yesterday, and asked Amber to comb herself with a simple and refreshing double screw bun, and two purple jade sandalwood hairpins were inserted obliquely into the bun. Graceful likes lotus, the emperor rewarded the pair of gold silk inlaid with purple beads lotus flower sideburns tassels are very much her meaning, but the pair of sideburns is too gorgeous, although graceful but not too ostentatious.

"Since the master doesn't want to wear a lotus flower to cover his sideburns and tassels, then stick a lotus-shaped flower on his forehead." Amber took the flower and carefully pasted it for Li Jingxi. Graceful in the mirror to take a self-portrait, the woman in the mirror is graceful and charming, and she really lives up to the name of "the first beauty in Dahan", and even the graceful herself can't help but stroke the lotus flower and sigh: "It really complements each other." Graceful looked at the ingenious Amber, and when she thought that she would soon leave the Guan Ju Palace, she felt a little reluctant in her heart. While Amber was serving the Grace to dinner, the Grace told her about the Emperor's decision yesterday, and Amber was overjoyed and thanked her again and again.

"You got what you wanted, but it's a pity that this palace is missing a right-hand man. Although Liuli is the dowry girl of the palace, she is young and playful, not as stable as you. Thinking that there would be one less close person around her in the future, she sighed.

"The Internal Affairs Office will pick the good ones and send them over, but I'm afraid they are even smarter than slaves."

"There is no shortage of clever minions in the palace, but there is a shortage of smart and faithful ones. Yu Bin, the current head of the Internal Affairs Office, is a distant relative of the Feng family, and the minions he selected for the palace are afraid that they are only loyal to the Fengwu Palace. ”

"That'...... The master might as well pay attention to those who are not from a high background in this year's show girls, and pick a material that can be made? ”

"That's a good idea. Amber, you go and ask the teaching of Chuxiu Palace to come! "Grace thinks Amber's proposal is good, it is better to cultivate it yourself than to send some yang and yin. Amber was ordered to go to Chuxiu Palace to find Mama Su without mentioning it.
