Chunmei entered from the outside with a lantern, looked at Zhao Kuo, and was silent for a long time.

"Who are you?" Zhao Kuo broke the silence.

Chunmei put the lantern in her hand, "The queen mother is all to leave your life, so that Qingshan does not have to worry about running out of firewood." ”

"The queen mother is all for me?" Zhao Kuo asked Chunmei.

Chunmei did not deny it, "Niangniang is the greatest mother I have ever seen in the world, she can let go of all her pleas for you, and she is not afraid of life and death." ”

Zhao Kuo took out a half-inch-long dagger from his sleeve and wanted to rush out.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you going to do?" Chunmei blocked the door.

Zhao Kuo was unmoved, "I'm going to kill Zhao Yun and avenge my mother." ”

Chunmei hugged Zhao Kuo's waist and begged him to be patient in everything and not to mess with the plan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you think you can get out of the prison so easily, there are archers who have already been arranged outside, but I am afraid that you have already died tragically before you get close to Zhao Yun." Chunmei cried.

Zhao Kuo threw the dagger on the ground, knelt in front of the queen's tablet, and gritted his teeth.

Chunmei hugged Zhao Kuo into her arms and stroked Zhao Kuo's hair like a queen, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I know you are sad, don't worry, I will help you." ”

Zhao Kuo cleaned up, stepped out of the house again as if nothing happened, and walked back to the prison.

The man in black had been guarding outside all the time, and he couldn't hide from his eyes until Zhao Kuo disappeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates feel that Zhao Kuo can't stay, Concubine Min is right." The man in black went back to report to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yungang was acupuncture by the imperial doctor, and he only felt that the whole body was comfortable, and the fly in the ointment could only be alleviated, not cured.

Zhao Yun told the man in black not to say any more, "I have already promised the first queen, and I can't go back on my word." ”

The man in black was very puzzled, and Guo Ming's father and son let Zhao Yun have a good rest.

"What does the emperor think?" The man in black couldn't wait to slash Zhao Kuo.

Guo Ming's father and son calmed him down, "The emperor naturally has his reasons, seeing that he has not been on the throne for a long time, it is not appropriate to be contaminated with human life, especially the crown prince of the former emperor." ”

The man in black went to the prison to visit the prince in the name of "visiting the prince", but in fact he wanted to make him hand over the antidote through torture.

"Zhao Yun can't get up anymore? I actually let you come here, a lackey. Zhao Kuo saw that it was him, but he didn't even move, leaning lazily against the wall.

The man in black lifted Zhao Kuo with one hand, "The emperor is kind to you, I'm different, you'd better hurry up and hand over the antidote, maybe I can leave you a whole corpse." ”

"Huh? Threaten me? As long as I die, Zhao Yun will not be able to live alone. "Zhao Kuo is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

The man in black punched Zhao Kuo in the abdomen, causing him to gush out a mouthful of blood.

The man in black punched one punch after another, which was considered a relief.

Zhao Kuo collapsed on the ground, like a mess of mud, and reached out to wipe away the blood stains that had coagulated at the corner of his mouth, "I advise you to treat this prince well, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

The man in black returned to Zhao Yun's side without mentioning what had just happened.

When Zhao Yun ascended to the court, a minister who strictly followed the law of etiquette proposed to choose a concubine for him.

"I have just ascended the throne, so I will push this matter back, and there is no rush for the time being." Zhao Yun refused the minister's request on legitimate and reasonable grounds.

The minister persevered, "Choosing a woman with a family background and character to fill the harem and extend the heirs for the emperor is the top priority, and the emperor must not shirk it." ”

The ministers all know that Zhao Yun is highly poisoned, in case he dies one day, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and the palace cannot be without a queen for a day, and there is always a need for successors to stabilize the throne.

Zhao Yun was helpless, so he had to nod in agreement.

After the ministers went back, they explained the matter to their daughters, and everyone was gearing up and eager to let their family members enter the middle palace.

The date after the selection of the concubine has been set, and Zhao Yun is here.

The daughters lined up, looking at the emperor above, all of them were full of joy, and they still had to maintain a dignified and steady face.

One by one, they reported to their homes.

"Shen Ying'er, the daughter of the minister's female Ministry of Labor."

"Qiu Zi, the daughter of the courtier's waiter"

"Jiang Cen, the daughter of the minister's minister's department"

"Xu Qing, the daughter of the courtier's general doctor"

Zhao Yun has seen it all, and Concubine Min is also on the side.

"Does the emperor have a satisfactory retention?" Concubine Min discussed with Zhao Yun in private.

Zhao Yun looked at them and found that one of them had the charm of a forest kite between his eyebrows and eyes, and casually used a vermilion pen and ink to circle it, which was considered to have settled her.

Concubine Min asked Zhao Yun to choose two more, "Since the emperor has decided on this path, you can't favor one over the other." ”

Zhao Yun knew that Concubine Min had painted Qiu Zi and Xu Qing again.

A group of show girls outside waited for a long time, and finally waited for the eunuch's will.

Shen Ying'er is the highest in the family, and unexpectedly, she was not selected.

However, the daughters of several official families with lower status than her were successfully shortlisted.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, but is there something missing?" Shen Ying'er was not convinced.

The eunuch carefully checked Zhao Yun's will for him, "Miss Shen, our family is impartial, and there is indeed no name of yours on it." ”

"Impossible." Shen Ying'er snatched the holy decree in the eunuch's hand, and found that there was really no herself, so she threw the thing angrily.

The eunuch hurriedly picked it up, "Miss Shen, this is a great disrespectful sin, if the emperor sees it, it will be beheaded all over the house, and the head will fall to the ground." ”

"My father is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is indispensable to one of my father's contributions." Shen Ying'er completely ignored the eunuch's set.

Shen Ying'er checked the selected show girls, "You crooked melons and cracked dates, dare to rob the emperor with Miss Ben?" ”

"Sister Shen, since the emperor has made a will, then we should obey it, and we must not lose our own dignity and the earnest teachings of our family." Jiang Cen stepped forward to admonish Shen Ying'er.

Xu Qing, who has been standing in the back, is also, "The draft has been held more than once, and Sister Shen still has a chance." ”

Shen Ying'er saw Jiang Cen and Xu Qing singing and harmonizing like this, in her eyes, it was a red face and a white face.

"Why don't you two go on stage and sing? What to do in the palace? I can't get your turn to discipline me. Shen Ying'er directly pushed Xu Qing into the water.

The eunuch ordered someone to rescue Xu Qing, and Shen Ying'er strode away.

Qiu Zi complained to Jiang Cen, "Shen Ying'er is really too much, she has such a bad temperament, and it's a good thing that she didn't enter the palace, otherwise we don't know how angry we will be." ”

The eunuch handed the holy decree to Jiang Cen and took them to Chuxiu Palace to have a good rest.

This matter reached the ears of Concubine Min and Zhao Yun.

Concubine Min can be regarded as having seen the winds and waves of the past, and if someone is selected, someone will inevitably lose.

"Your Majesty, Shen Ying'er will definitely not give up." Concubine Min Guifei let Zhao Yun have a certain number in his heart.

Zhao Yun knew it well, "I know, this matter can be discussed later." ”

The eunuch came in and presented the sign with the chosen concubine, and Zhao Yun took a fancy to Jiang Cen at a glance, "Tonight, it's her." ”

Jiang Cen was canonized as a concubine.

Qiu Zi and Xu Qing and others are always in the same place.

The eunuch congratulated Jiang Cen, Qiu Zi and Xu Qing, "Congratulations to the three little masters for winning the first place." ”

"My sister is now Concubine Jiang, see who dares to underestimate us." Qiu Zi and Xu Qing gathered around Jiang Cen.

Jiang Cen was still not surprised, "My sisters are all blessed, and what I have today, you will not lack either." ”

"The three little masters have two good news, one is that the emperor ordered the concubine Jiang tonight, and the other is that Xu Chang is giving the title of Jubilee." The eunuchs gave them a reward.

Qiu Zi felt a little bit of food in his heart, but he thought that they were all good sisters, and of course he was happy for them.

The eunuch cat's waist was a thousand, "Concubine Jiang, you should prepare first." ”

Shen Ying'er saw Jiang Cen get into the car and drive to the Qianqing Palace, she was very angry, threw the maid away, and returned to the Shen Mansion.

"What's going on? After entering the palace, you lose your temper when you come back? Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at their own daughter like this.

Shen Ying'er said that she was defeated, and both of them asked her to think about it, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you don't have to worry about it." ”

"I don't, you don't know how handsome and chic the new emperor is, and now that he is the first to be taken by those three, even if I am selected next time, will I be trampled under their feet?" Shen Ying'er complained to her father.

Even though Lord Shen felt sorry for Shen Ying'er, "Do you want your father to ask the new emperor to accept you with a thick old face?" ”

"I don't care, I don't care, they can enter the palace, I want to go in, and I can't be lower than their status." Shen Ying'er pestered her mother.

Lord Shen's lady strongly asked Lord Shen to meet the emperor, even if he was a nobleman, it was better than not coming.

Lord Shen was a little embarrassed, "Ying'er's temper may not be a good thing even if she enters the palace, she is impulsive and does not go through her brain, no wonder the new emperor looks down on her." ”

"You old antique, do you say that about your daughter? I don't care, if you don't go, you don't want to sleep in the house in the future. Mrs. Shen gave an ultimatum.

Lord Shen is unwilling and unwilling.

In the palace, Zhao Yun is sitting on the desk to review and review, and the case is very full, and he is neat, and he has eliminated more than half of it.

Jiang Cen stepped into it, and he didn't want to disturb Zhao Yun at all, but just stood on one side, and a girl's heart gradually began to sprout.

Zhao Yun lowered her look into her eyelids, "How long do you want to see me?" ”

"The concubines are afraid of delaying Your Majesty's handling of state affairs." Jiang Cen's speech and demeanor make it impossible to find fault.

Zhao Yun asked Jiang Cen to come closer.

Jiang Cen took lotus steps, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Yun observed Jiang Cen up close, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a fair complexion, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like Lin Kite.

"I canonized you as a concubine, are you still satisfied?" Zhao Yun looked at her, as if Lin Kite was in front of him.

Jiang Cen was as gentle as water, "The emperor has given me a lot, and Cen Er doesn't dare to think about anything else." ”

Zhao Yun realized that no matter how similar he was, Jiang Cen was not Lin Kite.

"You go to sleep first, I still have things to deal with." His hand withdrew again.

Jiang Cen was obedient and took Zhao Yun's words.

The candle flame flickered, and the two of them had their own thoughts.
