Chapter 638: The Draft
After experiencing the incident that night, Zhuo Yu was even a little scared, and went to the lake in the back mountain, although he still wanted to let Wang Zixuan come out, but he was extremely afraid of what Wang Zixuan said.
And since that day, he seems to be able to hear Wang Zixuan's sarcastic laughter and cold snort as soon as he closes his eyes, which really makes people feel cold to the bone, making people feel completely sober and helpless.
"Queen Mother, the head of the Internal Affairs Office outside asked to see you, saying that there are some things I want to discuss with you, do you think I am inviting you in now?"
When Zhuo Yu was thinking about things, Zi Ning suddenly ran in, and the tone of his voice was more formal than usual, Zhuo Yu naturally knew what was going on, tried to sort out his emotions, nodded, looked at his eyes in the mirror, slowly returned to normal, and then let them in.
And the head of the Internal Affairs Office knelt respectfully in front of Zhuo Yu at this moment, and there was a smile on his face, but Zhuo Yu didn't know that the real head of the Internal Affairs Office was idle and what he was doing here.
So at this moment, Zhuo Yu slowly grasped his emotions, and tried to ask what he wanted to say steadily.
"But what's the matter with me, sir? Is there something going on in this palace? ”
In fact, Zhuo Yu's first reaction was that he thought that something was going on in this palace, and it was under the jurisdiction of the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and this head had no way to deal with it, so he ran to himself to complain, but he looked at this head with a smile on his face, but it didn't look like he was coming to sue.
"No, no, no, the queen mother, you are lenient and virtuous and set a good example in this palace, with a queen mother like you, how can anything happen in this harem?"
The head of the Internal Affairs Office was really the same as before, first boasting in advance, and then talking like honey, saying a lot of flattery that Zhuo Yu had never heard.
At this time, Zhuo Yu heard that he had not received the key point, and because of his upset mood, he had no interest in continuing to waste like this, so he hurriedly urged him to talk about the key points.
"Then father-in-law, are you here today?"
And at this time, the head of the Internal Affairs Office immediately raised his head with a smile, but there was something strange in his eyes, as if the queen mother shouldn't know what she was going to say, but the moment she saw Zhuo Yu's eyes again, she slowly took it back:
"That's the case, Queen Mother, this triennial draft will start again next year, and now we have selected some lists here, and we also invite Niangniang to take a look, and there have been ministers urging in this court a few days ago, so the slave had to put this matter on the agenda in advance."
Hearing this sentence, Zhuo Yu really felt a feeling of being in a different world, it turned out that the selection of the last batch of noble concubines had been two years ago, and it was time to prepare for the draft at this moment.
In the first draft, Zhuo Yu even remembered his heartbreaking mentality at that time, completely wanting to avoid how Yu Chijin could choose a concubine.
But later, Yu Chi Jin gave her enough security, and she was finally able to be a dignified, elegant and generous queen in front of the world, and Yu Chi Jin carried everything on her shoulders alone. A small bookstore
And at this moment, Zhuo Yu's thoughts already didn't know where to fly, and the head of the Internal Affairs Office was still squatting on the ground, with a smile on his face, raising his eyes slightly, wanting to attract Zhuo Yu's attention, and even couldn't help coughing.
"Oh, were you just talking about the draft? Everything will be handled as usual, but you can solicit the wishes of the show girls, and if you have other particularly strong ideas, or if you are interested in someone, you will not be reluctant. ”
"Everything must pay attention to fate, and it is natural to come to this palace to need fate, and everything that is forced to come will naturally not be suitable."
Zhuo Yu just said something like this lightly in the end, in fact, in the previous rounds of the draft, many concubines and nobles who could come in had already come in, so there was actually no shortage of people in this palace who could spend money for His Majesty.
And Zhuo Yu has some distress in his heart for the years of those girls, such a flower-like age, if there is a sweetheart, it is naturally not appropriate to break up because of the draft.
After hearing Zhuo Yu's words, the head of the Internal Affairs Office didn't have a strong reaction, and after getting the answer, the smile just now appeared on his face again, nodded and left.
Outside, Zi Ning and Jing Yan had already run in, and both of them muttered, looking even more uncomfortable than Zhuo Yu's heart.
"What's wrong with you two? Pulling this little face one by one? When others saw it, they thought I was bullying you! ”
Zhuo Yu actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but after the head of the internal affairs office left, looking at these two little girls, the two of them looked like this, he couldn't help laughing, and the two of them looked really sad.
"Miss, why are there so many concubines and nobles in this palace? Obviously, a lot of them are just decorations, and you're the queen, can't you influence these yet? Your Majesty is only one! ”
In fact, Zhuo Yu also knew that the two of them felt sorry for themselves, and they had to share their beloved with so many people, indeed, no matter who they were, they would feel sad.
But at this moment, although Zhuo Yu felt depressed, and his eyes began to wander, he didn't know what reason to use to stop these things from happening, after all, it was not the past.
"This kind of thing is a rule that has been set a long time ago, although it is not something I can change and shake, Your Majesty can only obediently obey and act according to the rules, and you don't have to mention many things again."
Zhuo Yu's words, although they sounded light and weightless, but when he spoke, the expression on his face was very solemn, and Zi Ning and Jing Yan next to him also discovered the expression of the queen mother and the importance of this matter.
Zhuo Yu was still thinking about Wei Chi Jin in his heart, and what he was thinking at this moment, whether it was about the draft or about Wang Zixuan, so Zhuo Yu also had the idea, he must have asked Yu Chi Jin to come over today, or that he was going to go to Zichen Hall in person.
"Your Majesty, did you say that you are going to come over for dinner today?" "Yes, mother, Your Majesty, I already sent someone here yesterday to order the small kitchen!"
