The emperor opened his mouth, and everyone in the palace cheered, and the happiest was naturally the sick Empress Dowager Rui, who still couldn't believe it, leaned on the soft couch, and asked Huang Youdao weakly: "What you said is true?" Emperor, really, really selected? ”

"Ouch, my Queen Mother Lafayette," Huang Youdao said funny: "How many heads does the slave have, do you dare to talk in front of you?" ”

"Amitabha, my God, cough cough cough ......" Concubine Rui coughed excitedly, "It can be regarded as a figure-out, the mourning family, knowing that the emperor will one day, will figure it out, how can an emperor have no queen, cough cough, there is no prince, who will pass on the country to ......"

Mama Rong persuaded on the side: "Lafayette, don't talk so much, take a break, and keep your spirit to nourish your body." ”

Empress Dowager Rui was not in good spirits, but she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and asked intermittently, "Who supervised this selection?" Call him, come and see the mourning family first, cough cough, by the way, hurry up and find the king of Jin, mourning the family, you have to ask him, how is that matter? It's the same, cough cough, you have to hurry. ”

Mama Rong said, "Lafayette." It's a big deal, you have to raise your body and bones, and then the slave knows that the emperor opened Chrysostom for Lafayette, if your illness doesn't get better soon, how can the emperor have the heart to accept it. ”

Empress Dowager Rui closed her eyes, evened her breath, and tears slowly slipped out of the corners of her eyes.

"Lafayette, why are you still crying?" Mama Rong hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"It's a joy to mourn the family." Empress Dowager Rui sighed, "The mourning family listens to you, take care of your body and bones." ”

——

When the emperor returned to the south study, Xiu Min was at the door, his nose was clubbing, and when he saw the emperor coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The minister knocks to see the emperor." ”

"Get up." The emperor replied indifferently, his face was neither happy nor sad, and his steps did not stop: "Master Xiu is looking for me?" Come in and talk about it. ”

Xiu Min followed up with a respectful expression, and when the emperor sat down, he said with a huff: "Your Majesty, this time the election is supervised, and the old minister wants to recommend himself." ”

The emperor took the tea handed over by Crimson, lifted the lid and skimmed it, and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, I'm right." ”

Xiu Min didn't expect the emperor to answer so happily, he prepared a stomach full of words, but the result was useless, and he was hesitating, when he heard the emperor ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xiu Min Porphy knelt down and slammed it to the ground, "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to say something for his daughter?" ”

The emperor frowned, "Since the matter of selection is handed over to Master Xiu, as long as the conditions are met, Master Xiu does not have to avoid suspicion, just look at it, why bother Baba to come to me to intercede?" ”

Xiu Min smiled bitterly in his heart, the emperor forgot about Xiu Yuanshuang again, "Your Majesty, the minister is talking about Yuanshuang who lives in the palace of the King of Chu." ”

As soon as he mentioned it, the emperor sighed, "It's her." ”

"The emperor Shengming, Yuan Shuang is the side concubine of the emperor's hidden dragon, the emperor ascended the throne, but did not let her enter the palace, nor did she reconcile with her, so he lived in the Chu Palace, and it was not in line with the ancestral system, the new dynasty was established, the emperor had a lot of opportunities, and many things could not be taken care of, although the minister was wronged for his daughter, but he never dared to bother the emperor about this matter, but this time the emperor agreed to open the election, and the minister begged the emperor to let Yuan Shuang enter the palace, not to ask for a high position, but to let her serve the emperor wholeheartedly, the minister is loyal to the emperor, but she can't ask herself ...... to the emperor."

Xiu Min knelt there, talking bitterly, speaking earnestly, as an old father to find a place for his wronged daughter, this is not too much.

The emperor groaned for a while, "Master Xiu is reasonable, so let's take her into the palace." ”

Xiu Min's heart fell to the ground, almost bursting into tears, and his head fell heavily, "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to step back. When Xiu Min came out, his eyes were slightly red, and a major event in his heart finally had an eyebrow, and now it depends on what position the emperor gave Xiu Yuanshuang, he is a smart person, he will not inquire, the emperor has his own considerations.

Heart disease is really a heart medicine, the Empress Dowager Rui knew that the emperor approved the selection, seeing that day by day is getting better, appetite is also opened, eat some light tonic food every day, the third day has been able to lean on the bed for a while, the fifth day will get out of bed and walk around, she has something in mind, always a little stunned, ask someone to invite Xiu Min to come, this matter can not be delayed, even if the body is not good, but also to do this matter well.

She sat on the sour branch wood chair, and looked up at the door of the hall from time to time to see if Xiu Min had come.

Mama Rong said with a smile: "Lafayette is in a hurry, the emperor has opened Chrysostom, even if this matter is ironclad, there is no regret, there is still a plan before the New Year, it is too late." ”

Empress Dowager Rui said, "The north can catch up, the south may not be able to catch up, the mountains and rivers are far away, the sky is getting cold again, it takes two or three months to hurry up, they are all daughters, and those who are bumpy and tired along the way are not guilty......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiu Min come in and said with a smile: "Master Xiu is here." ”

Xiu Min saluted, "I heard that Lafayette's body and bones are much better, and the minister has always wanted to come to ask for peace, but he has been too busy these days to find time, and I hope Lafayette will forgive me." ”

"The emperor handed over the matter of selection to you, naturally he was busy, and the mourning family called you to discuss with you to see how to mention to the emperor the matter of letting Yuanshuang enter the palace, and now ......"

"There is Lao Lafayette who is concerned, and the minister has begged the emperor to let Yuanshuang enter the palace, and the emperor has allowed it."

"Ouch, this is great news," Empress Dowager Rui smiled, took the medicine handed by the palace maid, and drank it in one go, "The emperor is really a good person, did you say what kind of position?" ”

"Not yet, this is not in a hurry, the emperor has his own considerations." Xiu Min looked at the energetic Empress Dowager Rui, and secretly laughed in his heart, the emperor's selection is better than any medicine.

"Don't worry, the mourning family will remind the emperor that Yuan Shuang will never be wronged, this child has suffered enough grievances, compared to Bai ...... cough cough, in short, this is a good thing, the emperor opened Chrysostom, and we don't have to worry about it in the future. "The three words of Bai Qianfan are taboos in the palace, even if they are not in front of the emperor, it is best not to mention them.

Xiu Min raised his hand: "Thank you Lafayette for your grace, Lafayette loves Yuanshuang so much, so that the old minister has nothing to repay." ”

"The mourning family really likes her, she looks good, she is also smart, she knows how to judge the situation, she is obscure, she has been in the Chu Wangfu for a few years, who has such perseverance as her? Such a woman is not a mother in the world, and the mourning family feels a pity. ”

"The queen mother praised, the little girl was ashamed, she just did her duty."

For Xiu Yuanshuang, the Empress Dowager Rui really likes it, and she chatted a few words, and asked about the selection, "The emperor only let go at this time, I'm afraid it's too late in time, according to the mourning family, forget about the south, take care of the north first, the ministers of the court and the central government are mostly in the north, what do you say?" ”

"The emperor will hand over the selection to the old ministers, and the ministers should supervise it with all their hearts, and roughly count the number of people for the time being, if it is enough, the south can also be selected next year, if it is not enough, the ministers will invite the emperor. Galeries Lafayette thinks this is appropriate? ”

Empress Dowager Rui smiled tacitly, what the emperor thinks in his heart, no one can speculate, but Jiangnan is the pain in the emperor's heart, it is best to avoid it, as for the number of people, where will it not be enough, and so the young and beautiful girl fills the harem, this forbidden palace is lively, the emperor is surrounded by warblers and Yanyan, the wound in his heart can really heal, and next year's golden autumn will be selected nationwide, and at that time, regardless of the south and the north, it will not be in the way.
