Hearing the waiter knocking on the window, Concubine Xu, who was tidying up her clothes, got out of the car hurriedly.

Because of the loneliness on the road, the two of them took the same car, which was convenient for talking and relieving boredom, and the chamberlain would say that the saint would have to come over for at least half an hour, and the little concubine Xu didn't go back to her car, and she didn't want the saint to come up so quickly, and the hour of a pillar of incense arrived.

As soon as Xu Qi'er stretched out her hand to hold the carriage door, Yuan Ke had already arrived in front of the carriage and turned over and dismounted.

The waiter hurriedly stepped on the pier, and Yuan Ke stopped his waist and hugged Xu Qi'er off the carriage.

Xu Qi'er has smooth muscles and bones, black hair like a waterfall, eyebrows like green feathers, red lips always have a faint smile, and her head full of pearls and emerald makes her noble and graceful. Half-carried out of the carriage by the saint, her fair and tender cheeks had already turned rouge, but they were far more beautiful than rouge.

Xu Mian'er, who was still in the car, immediately said coquettishly when she saw this, "Cousin, you always favor your sister." ”

This voice is very soft and tactful, and it will make you feel fascinated when you listen to it.

Before Yuan Ke stretched out his hand, Xu Mian'er jumped out of the carriage and threw herself into Yuan Ke's arms, Yuan Ke pushed it but didn't push it away, so he let her hug herself and be coquettish, and scolded with a smile, "Obedient." ”

Xu Mian'er raised her delicate little nose and snorted softly, "My cousin didn't take us with him when he passed by Luozhou, and then went south, the Queen Mother talked every day, and she had to urge me and my sister several times a day, for fear that it would be inconvenient for my cousin to be served by no one around him......"

Xu Mian'er's voice is as tactful as a yellow warbler, and when she speaks, her eyes are wandering, like delicate and disgusting, which is extremely refreshing. When she jumped out of the carriage, her movements were clever, like clouds, and the flowers and birds on the hairpins were a little crooked.

Yuan Ke shook the step right, stared at it for a moment, and then took it out to look at it, as if he was thinking about how to make the hairpin suitable, he said casually, "How can the march take a woman." ”

Xu Mian'er raised her eyes and was disgusted, "My cousin is eccentric, especially eccentric." ”

Isn't the ninth princess a woman? But Xu Mian'er is smart, she stopped the topic at the right time, and was coquettish by the way.

Yuan Ke pinched her cheek, Xu Mian'er dodged and didn't dodge, the pinched teeth grinned, but she was not less delicate, and the steps that had just been hairpinned by Yuan Ke shook with her movements, trembling gently.

With a face like jade and sideburns like clouds, this movement is not coquettish and amorous, Yuan Ke's heart fluttered, and he was a little stunned.

This kind of jewelry is still passed from the Southern Dynasties, taking the meaning of one step and one shake, which is very popular in recent years. The women of the Northern Dynasties are so arrogant, even if they are gentle and dignified like Xu Qi'er, they are also strong in their bones, far less soft than the women of the Southern Dynasties.

Yuan Ke was a little stunned in his heart, thinking that jewelry is also picky, and this step is only rhymed on the woman's hairpin with a tactful attitude. The lotus step moves lightly, the step shakes slightly, which is more gentle and demure, and has a unique moving style.

That night, he and the lord of Minxing stepped on the moon, and she had a tassel on her sideburns, shining brightly, and the stamen was a round pearl, and the whole body was more elegant than the one on Mian'er's hair, but he walked beside her, and was always hooked by the slightly trembling tassel pendant.

Time passed so quickly, he hadn't seen her for more than a year, but the farther away from her, the clearer her appearance became in his heart.

"Cousin?" Xu Mian'er couldn't help but feel a little shy when she saw Yuan Ke looking at her in a daze.

There was a call in his ears, and Yuan Ke realized that he was distracted.

"Are you tired on the road?" Yuan Ke asked with a smile, he faced Xu Mian'er, but his eyes looked at Xu Qi'er.

Xu Qi'er hurriedly bent her knees and replied softly, "Back to Your Majesty, the road is stable and I don't feel tired." ”

Xu Mian'er hurriedly pouted, "When I was in Luozhou, I only went to Mingguang Temple outside the city as farthest, but I didn't expect Xindu to be so far, we walked for eighteen days, and the palace people didn't allow us to get off the carriage, so I could only lift the curtain and secretly look outside......

Xu Qi'er saw that her sister was presumptuous, and hurriedly scolded her, "Mian'er, don't be rude." ”

Xu Mian'er blinked, "Cousin likes to listen to me, doesn't he, cousin?" ”

Yuan Ke smiled, "Yes, cousin." Please ask my cousin to get in the car quickly, and wait until I go back to the palace to drink tea and moisten my throat before talking. ”

Xu Mian'er immediately dissatisfied, "Cousin, I don't think I'm talking too much." ”

Concubine Xu is really beautiful, and it is also eye-catching to look at, Yuan Ke thought that there was nothing for them to come over, and arranged the palace for them to live.

What made him unhappy was another thing, since he ascended the throne, the former harem said that the country could not be without a day, please Your Majesty arrange a hand-cast gold ceremony to elect the queen as soon as possible.

Yuan Ke Daoguo is in mourning, not in a hurry.

He is not in a hurry, the Empress Dowager Xu in the harem and the hundred officials of the previous dynasty are in a hurry.

The Southern Dynasty chooses the queen, and it depends more on the emperor's mind, and the Northern Dynasty chooses the queen, but there are seven points to see the will of God.

For the hand-cast gold man ceremony, three concubines must be selected from the harem first, and the rank of the concubines cannot be too low, at least above Zhaoyi, and the noble concubines must account for two.

The concubines in the palace want to get the position of the middle palace, they must first cast gold by hand, if they can be cast successfully, they will be established as the queen, if they are not cast, they will not be able to get the middle palace. Why the Gold Minter? Sassanid Cult is a word, and the one who becomes is auspicious. But why is the success auspicious, the Sassanid Cult is vague, and he can't understand it, only saying that it is a rule handed down from his ancestors.

If the judge asks, what if the candidates can't be cast? In a word, if you don't succeed, you can't stand. None of them succeeded, it was a very vicious omen, and the Sassanid Cult wanted to do things to drive away the evil omen.

The judge may have questions, if the first candidate succeeds in the first attempt, won't the later candidates have no chance? This is too unfair for the candidates who come after.

I'm sorry, the Venerable Sassanid Cult has long considered this situation, and the order of the hand-cast gold figures is determined by the casting of lots in the golden vase, and if the first candidate is successfully cast at one time, then the position of the middle palace should fall on the first candidate.

In the imperial concubine volume that has just been supplemented and perfected in the Northern Dynasty, it is written that Empress Kangmu Yan, the daughter of this sinful family, entered the court and was fortunate. Gave birth to Princess Zhuang Hui, and later gave birth to King Qinghe. After taking care of internal affairs, he was pampered, and he couldn't cast gold, so he was not allowed to ascend to the back position.

Emperor Yan Wen was very fond of the concubine Yan, although Yan Guifei did not have the name of the queen in the harem, but there was the fact of the queen, and later Emperor Yan Wen even wanted to canonize her as the queen despite the public opinion. ”

Although Concubine Yan wanted to be the queen, she did not dare to accept the canonization of Emperor Yan Wen, and the reason may be that she was not cast as a golden man and the latter would not be recognized by the world.

Concubine Yan already has the status of a queen in the harem, and she does not need to face great pressure and political difficulties for a name.

After her death, "the emperor chased after her, gave the queen a ribbon, and then added it." Later, Emperor Wen of Yan buried her in the imperial mausoleum as the queen.

This hand gold caster is a dead rule, not subject to personal will, even an emperor like Emperor Yan Wen has no right to interfere and interfere.

And the Empress Dowager Xu was lucky, the history was written, and the gold caster was made, and it was established, and it was sued in the suburban temple.

How did Yuan Ke not know what Empress Dowager Xu meant by letting Concubine Xu come to Xindu? While his harem was not yet full, he immediately held a hand-cast gold man ceremony, and the competition pressure of Concubine Xu was small, no matter who became the queen, the middle palace was firmly in the hands of the Xu family.

After settling down Concubine Xu, Yuan Ke looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, remembering that there were still political affairs that had not been dealt with, and he accompanied the two to talk, and was about to get up, Xu Mian'er grabbed Yuan Ke's sleeve and said with a smile, "Cousin is not allowed to go." ”
