Gu Banqin could only appease Liu Qing Caiqing, she walked up to kiss her, showed a silly smile to Cai Qing, took Cai Qing's hand, and shook it:

"Okay, okay, I know, next time the emperor comes, I will do everything I can to keep the emperor here, okay?"

Cai Qing looked at her mother's heartless appearance, what about the next time? Whether the emperor will come next time or not, only God knows.

Cai Qing couldn't help but turn her head and sobbed twice, obviously her own mother gave birth to such a good look, why didn't she know how to be motivated?

Gu Banqin successfully coaxed the two crying little palace maids and blocked the next complaints of the two, and then she successfully slipped into the small study and continued to play.

As for Cai Qing, they were worried that the emperor would not come to her palace, and Gu Banqin really didn't want to think about it.

If she could choose, she would rather the emperor never think of her from now on, and let her be a forgotten person, how good it would be to be free and unrestrained.

As soon as the emperor came, she had to accompany her, offering good food and drink, although in the final analysis, these things belonged to the Son of Heaven.

But as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, even if Helian Hongyi is not a moody tyrant, who can guarantee that she will be safe and sound for the rest of her life?

Under the ancient feudal system, when the Son of Heaven was angry, there were fewer people who were angry, not to mention, just dealing with other women in the harem was a big project.

There are so many women in the harem in one place, they speak well, one woman is equal to a hundred ducks, this bunch of women who have nothing to do get together and have nothing to do, just compete for the favor of this one king, in addition to intrigue, can you do something serious?

Gu Banqin couldn't wait for Helian Hongyi to spoil the other girls, so she said that her fourth sister Gu Nianshu was very good, so that she could leave her a little quiet and comfortable.

But since she has entered the harem of one acre and three points of land, begging for a life in this crack, then she has to use her own methods, she doesn't want the emperor's favor, the man's favor is reliable, then the sow will climb the tree, and the consequences of serving people in Israel can't escape the decay and love of love.

What she wants is to use the emperor, and she desperately said this today, that is, to tell Helian Hongyi that she can help him in political affairs more than her use of warming the bed in the harem.

As long as Helian Hongyi still fancies her talent, she will not worry about not being able to live in peace and live a long life.

The emperor left the palace for the second time, and the news spread throughout the harem the next day.

Gu Banqin was summoned by the Queen Mother again and sat in Cining Palace, still familiar with the recipe and familiar taste.

Empress Dowager Fang, Gu Nianshu, Concubine Zhao Defei and Xie Zhaoyi sat in exactly the same position as last time, and in the face of the interrogation of a group of harem women, Gu Banqin only insisted on one principle - pretending to be crazy and stupid!

The queen mother asked the reason, and she said, "Concubine, hen......." ”

The queen mother reprimanded her, Gu Banqin lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and her attitude of admitting her mistakes was extremely good, "The concubine knows ......" and "The concubine will work hard to serve the emperor's ......"

In the face of the heavy punches of the four women, Gu Banqin was like a cotton, soft and powerless, and when the harem boss touched the soft top, he could only be helpless, and scolded in his heart: she is a hollow pillow and a bag of grass......

In the end, the Empress Dowager Fang, who had no substantive evidence, could only let Gu Banqin leave, and when she left for the second time, Gu Banqin still didn't eat the dinner in Cining Palace, so Gu Banqin felt that the Queen Mother was really picky, and she didn't leave anyone to eat......

A month later, when the Ministry of Rites played the draft for the emperor, Helian Hongyi was noncommittal, saying that the state affairs were busy, so it was better to postpone the draft.

Empress Dowager Fang decisively stopped the errand and opened her mouth and said: "The emperor works hard, but it is also a national event to continue the bloodline for the royal family, the emperor does not have to be distracted, the mourning family will do it for him, and the mourning family will definitely bow down to the draft, choose a virtuous woman, and extend the royal bloodline!" ”

Helian Hongyi looked at the queen mother and said politely: "Since the queen mother is willing to work hard for the emperor, the emperor has nothing to do." So the draft was decided.

This is the first draft since the establishment of Daqi, by the Ministry of Rites to take care of a matter, the current queen mother and the harem two concubines Gu Shufei, Zhao Defei jointly supervised, for the emperor to select virtuous women, into the palace to serve the master.

The draft lasted for a long time, the selection area was wide, and the official residences of the state capitals vigorously engaged in the draft business, and all the women of the right age who were not married were all screened layer by layer, and summarized by the unified yamen, and finally reported to the household department, and the household department reported to the queen mother.

After hundreds of layers of screening, there were hundreds of show girls who were finally sent to the palace, and after these hundreds of show girls entered the last round of competition, only nine people finally entered the eyes of the Queen Mother.

These nine beauties, some of whom are amazing in appearance, some of whom are unique in poetry and painting, some of whom are born with outstanding backgrounds, some of whom are elegant, and those who talk elegantly, in short, are in a word, ring fat and thin, each with its own merits, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers, with a heart like a valley, and they look menacing, and they do their best to squeeze the emperor dry.

On this day, the catkins trotted all the way into the hall of the catkins, and Gu Banqin was planting vegetables on a small piece of newly opened land.

After Liu Wu came over, he hurriedly saluted Gu Banqin, took the tea handed by Cai Qing and poured it, and then panted and told the situation of his spying:

"Niangniang, Niangniang, I inquired, there are nine beauties who were finally selected in this draft, four of them have been named Liangyuan of the fourth grade, three have been sealed as the fifth grade of talents, and there are still two Baolin who are the same as you are the sixth grade."

As soon as Liu Wu's words were finished, he saw that Cai Qing couldn't stand and panicked: "There are so many brides and mothers in the palace at once, and most of them are higher than our mothers, what can I do?" ”

Gu Banqin watched the two of them play double reeds slowly, and did not make an evaluation.

Cai Qing saw that Gu Banqin looked unmoved, and sighed with hatred: "I said Niangniang, now the situation is burning eyebrows, you, don't mess with your piece of land anymore, or hurry up and think of a way, this is the right thing!" ”

"What can I do?" Gu Banqin got up and dusted off the grass clippings on her skirt, and strode out of the clearing.

Seeing that Cai Qing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Gu Banqin continued:

"I said Cai Qing, you don't want this mentality, the emperor's draft is a blameless thing, and the brides and ladies have entered the palace, this is a sure thing, no one can interfere."

"It's useless for you to be in a hurry here, I can't change this matter in a hurry, it's better to be yourself, let things develop naturally, and save yourself troubles."
