The women who can enter the top 100 in the final selection are all dignified and beautiful, and they are generous.

Otherwise, even if Feng Xi was given more silver, Feng Xi would not dare to send it to the final selection.

Because Feng Xi deeply understands that as long as he can always get the Holy Favor, is he still afraid that there will be no Holy Favor?

It is also because of this that Feng Xi did not pay even a penny of the silver taels obtained from this draft.

Is it because Feng Xi doesn't love money?

I don't think so!

Historically, it is not that there are no eunuchs who do not love silver, but after all, they are very few, and most of the eunuchs love money as much as their lives.

Feng Xi is naturally no exception.

But Feng Xi knew better what silver should be received and what silver should not be collected, so he would donate all the silver collected this time to stabilize his position in the emperor's mind at one time.

In the capital in October, the weather has been a little cold.

Especially after an autumn rain, the weather is even colder.

The women who can participate in the draft, in order to be favored by the emperor, wear thin clothes one by one and show off their exquisite curves wantonly.

Even though they were shivering from the cold, they still did not hesitate.

Of course, there were still some women who came to the palace wearing thick clothes and mink coats.

But these women are confident that they can be selected, or they are bent on losing the election.

Such as Xu Wanming, the niece of the Queen Mother, Sun Shiyun and Sun Shiying, who were born in Ningguofu, Zhang Wenqing and Zhang Wenyan, the two nieces of Zhang Zhiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zheng Siqi, the daughter of Zheng Yongji, the head of the household, and other people from noble backgrounds.

Among them, the most dazzling dress is none other than Xu Wanming.

Wearing a pink dress and a cloak made of red fox fur, she stands out from the crowd even among the flower-like women.

No way, the red fox cloak on her body is too eye-catching.

Fox skins are easy to obtain, of course, for these eunuchs.

But red fox fur is a rare sight.

Not to mention a cloak made of red fox skin?

Regarding the cloak on Xu Wanming's body, the women participating in the draft were envious and jealous after seeing it.

But he didn't dare to show it, not even the slightest look on his face.

Because as long as you are well-informed, you know that the red fox cloak on Xu Wanming's body was specially given to her by the Queen Mother a few days ago.

Who can enter the final selection is not well-informed?

Who dares to have an opinion?

That is, I can't get along with the Queen Mother.

can't get along with the queen mother, how can they have a good life in the palace in the future?

Therefore, not only can they not show jealousy on their faces now, but they also have to curry favor with Xu Wanming.

And Zhang Lingyang still had some interests at the beginning of the show girl's entry into the palace.

But immediately, Zhang Lingyang's face showed impatience.

After all, in the face of these fifteen or sixteen-year-old raw melons and eggs, Zhang Lingyang was not interested at all.

A hundred show girls, not too much, not too little.

Zhang Lingyang patiently accompanied Empress Dowager Xu to see these show girls, it was already two hours later.

"Emperor, do you have anyone you are satisfied with?" Empress Dowager Xu asked.

didn't think about it, Zhang Lingyang replied: "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that Sun Shiyun of Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Wenqing of Zhang Zhiyuan's family, Zheng Siqi of Zheng Yongji's family, Cao Yuechan of Cao Rui's family, Governor of Sichuan and Shu, He Yufei of He Ming's family, and Yan Jinwen, Governor of Jingbei, are all not bad. ”

"What about the others? The emperor has no one he likes? None of the names of these people Zhang Lingyang said were what Empress Dowager Xu wanted to hear, so Empress Dowager Xu frowned lightly and asked.

"Of course, the most outstanding of them is none other than Cousin Wanming!" Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little displeased, Zhang Lingyang immediately spoke.

Only then did Empress Dowager Xu show a smile on her face, and then she sighed and said, "It's also difficult to be the emperor!" ”

Even if Empress Dowager Xu is just a woman in the deep palace, she has basically never interfered in court politics, but she has somewhat guessed the considerations in Zhang Lingyang's heart.

The show girls selected by Zhang Lingyang are all from prominent families.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, this is the sacrifice and choice made by Zhang Lingyang for the stability of the imperial court.

Otherwise, Zhang Lingyang would not have chosen these people from wealthy families, wouldn't he?

"As the emperor of the Great Zhou, I naturally have to think about the whole world!" Zhang Lingyang's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xu's speculation is only a small part of Zhang Lingyang's considerations, not all of them.

"What position does the emperor think these selected show girls should be titled?" Empress Dowager Xu asked again.

Zhang Lingyang did not rush to answer, but glanced at the Empress Dowager Xu and asked, "What does the queen mother mean?" ”

After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xu said: "Among these show girls that the emperor likes, the most valuable ones are none other than Sun Shiyun and Zhang Wenqing. But among the two, Sun Shiyun was born in Ningguo Mansion, and her status is a little higher than Zhang Wenqing, but the official position of the father of these two daughters is not high, so it is not easy to arrange. ”

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xu said again: "With the meaning of mourning, fortunately, Sun Shiyun, Zhang Wenqing and your cousin Wanming's three daughters are Jieyu, and Zheng Siqi, Cao Yuechan, He Yufei, and Yan Jinwen are concubines. ”

"This ......" lowered his head and pondered for a moment, Zhang Lingyang looked up at the Empress Dowager Xu and said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate!" ”

"Sun Shiyun, Zhang Wenqing and my cousin won't talk about it, but the backgrounds of the other women are not inferior to the noble concubine Gao and the virtuous concubine Wu, if the position is too low, I am worried that the harem will be uneasy!"

"What can there be about the harem?" Empress Dowager Xu smiled and said, "Even if the queen is not helpful, isn't there still a mourning family in charge?" ”

"That's what I said, then let's do it according to the queen mother's will!"

"Sun Sheng!" Zhang Lingyang called Sun Sheng over, informed him of his decision after discussing with Empress Dowager Xu, and finally said: "You can go and draft the decree!" ”

"Minions, let's go!"

After replying, Sun Sheng left in a hurry.

For the results of this draft, some people are naturally happy and some are worried, and the most hesitant in their hearts is none other than Feng Xi, the commander of Dongchang, who is responsible for preparing for this draft.

Feng Xi hurried back to his mansion outside the palace with apprehension.

As soon as he sat down, he saw the housekeeper trotting all the way over, and said breathlessly: "Master, Zhang Zhiyi, the second master of Zhang Ge's hometown, is here." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Zhiyi's name, Feng Xi suddenly couldn't sit still.

Because, he messed up the affairs of the Zhang family, and Zhang Zhiyi obviously came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

So, Feng Xi hurriedly said: "You go to the front to stop it, just say that our family is not in the house." ”

As he spoke, Feng Xi got up and ran to the backyard......
