Chapter 29: Talking Back

The three of them are so cooperative, isn't it just that they can install their own people at the Pinqiu Meeting?

What does it mean now?

"Niangniang is angry, it's not that the heavenly spirit doesn't know how to refuse your kindness, but that the heavenly spirit really can't be the master of this matter." Tianling confessed, "Your Majesty appointed Gonggong Yang yesterday to be in charge of the registration of each palace. โ€

"Father-in-law Yang? Which Yang Gonggong? Concubine Zhen was stunned, where did this Yang Gonggong come from?

"Hui Niangniang, it's Gonggong Yang of the Inner Book Hall." Heavenly Spirit replied.

"Inner Study?" Concubine Xian on the side was a little surprised, "Although Neishutang is also a member of the inner court, he has never been involved in the affairs of the harem, how did His Majesty hand over this matter to him?" โ€

"It's weird." Concubine De also nodded.

It was Concubine Zhen, who had the biggest reaction before, but after listening to it, she put her mind at ease, "Since it has nothing to do with the harem, and it was personally appointed by His Majesty, it will not be biased to think about it." Anyway, it's just the first round of competition. โ€

After speaking, Concubine Zhen stood up, walked up to Tianling, stretched out her hand and lifted Tianling's chin to look back and forth.

Tianling had a smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant, respectful and polite, and let her watch.

"The little slave is a little bold, and he looks very likable and smart, why didn't the palace look down on you in the first place?" Concubine Zhen withdrew her hand, slightly regretful.

"It's a small qualification that is dull." Heavenly Spirit replied with a smile.

Concubine Zhen didn't pay any attention to Tianling anymore and walked away.

Concubine Xian and Concubine De saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so they didn't say anything more, and after explaining a few words to Tianling, they let him retreat.

Tianling came out of Concubine Xian's palace and exhaled deeply, fortunately, when he went to return to Gonggong Hai last night, he vaguely mentioned that the relevant personnel in charge of this competition had better not be involved with the palace maidens, so as not to be able to convince the public.

How shrewd Father-in-law Hai was, he knew what Tianling wanted as soon as he heard it, smiled and scolded the ghost spirit, and then pulled Father-in-law Yang into the water.

Poor Yang Gong's business fell from the sky, and now in addition to managing the group of cubs in the inner study hall, he also has to manage the registration of the ladies in the various palaces of the Autumn Festival, the ladies are not fuel-efficient lamps, this is not an easy job, but it seems that he is not dissatisfied at all, but he is very happy, and the registration of the palaces is in good order.

Tianling sincerely praised Yang Gonggong a few words.

Unexpectedly, Gonggong Hai on the side sneered, although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he didn't agree with Tianling's opinion at all.

It's all unprofitable, how much money Yang Gonggong collected, how much silver he converted, and Gonggong Hai was clear, so Tianling wouldn't think much about it.

Three days later, Tianling and Yang Gonggong finally finished sorting out the roster of the Pinqiu Society.

Later generations all said that there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, and Tianling understood after sorting out the roster, there was a suspicion of exaggeration, but although there are no 3,000 people in His Majesty's harem today, 800 is more than enough.

Legend has it that some ladies can only see the emperor for a year and a half, and many of the newly selected show girls have never even seen the emperor, so it's no wonder that they are crazy about this holy decree.

Tian Ling held a thick roster and was powerless to complain.

There is only one emperor, one hundred and eight thousand concubines, and if you don't have so much energy, don't get so many beautiful girls to put in the palace, you can't look at it when you are selected into the palace, let alone be pampered, one or two concubines in a small family will be jealous, let alone hundreds or thousands?

I hope this matter can go well, and after it is over, the emperor can let him be the master of ceremonies and deal with the concubines, it is really better to follow the Changxing father-in-law to copy the ticket to be free.

But things often backfired, and the heavenly spirit, who thought that after the registration was over, he could rest during the preparation time of the concubines, was summoned to the imperial front again.

"I heard that you have an autumn party?" The Emperor asked with interest.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes." Tianling's little face replied seriously.

"Oh? Let's hear it. โ€

"Back to Your Majesty, as the name suggests, the autumn will be the meeting, and the masters of each palace will choose the projects they want to participate in and display them, and then they will be evaluated by Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Concubine Zhen and a female official, and then by the other masters who did not participate in the display of this project will vote by secret ballot, and after everyone is displayed, the female officials will sing the votes and announce the top three winners."

"Oh? So it's actually a competition? โ€

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

"All your idea?"

Tianling was caught off guard by the question, stunned for a moment, and then pretended not to hear too clearly, and let out a low sigh.

The emperor was in a very good mood at the moment, and he didn't doubt it, and asked again with a smile, "All the methods you came up with?" โ€

"Back to Your Majesty, the little one doesn't dare to take credit, it was figured out by Princess An Ning, the three mothers, and Gonggong Hai and Gonggong Yang."

"Really?" The Emperor smiled, and continued, "You can't help it, let my three maidens do things for you." โ€

"The little ones don't dare!" Tian Ling snapped and lowered his body, his knees and the white jade bricks collided, making a crisp sound.

"Look at what scares you." The emperor was a little amused, "Praise you, get up." โ€

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cold sweat came out of Tianling's forehead, and he stood up cautiously.

What else did the emperor want to say, but he glanced at it, but saw the fine beads of sweat coming out from under the red tasseled cap of the heavenly spirit, his eyes were dark, and a trace of unhappiness rose inexplicably in his heart, and he did not speak again, nor did he let the heavenly spirit go down, but sat back on the dragon chair with a flick of his sleeves and continued to deal with the twists and turns.

Leaving Tianling with a confused face, did you forget to let me step down, Your Majesty?

Tianling looked at Gonggong Hai for help, and Gonggong Hai gave him a helpless look, and he didn't dare to disturb His Majesty.

Tianling didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to stand quietly in place, waiting for the emperor to speak.

However, an hour has passed, and the criticism on the emperor's desk has been seen to the bottom, and the emperor has not opened his mouth again, this emperor, is his face the day of June? Change is what you say!

Poor Xiao Tianling thought that he could take a break after smoothing out the matter of the concubine's registration, and planned to take King Pingxi to the imperial garden to relax in the name of seeing the venue in advance, but he didn't expect to be directly called by the emperor to the Tianqian Palace punishment station!

My legs are numb, I want to sit for a while! It's okay to take two steps if you can't sit still! Quietly glanced at the emperor on the other side, who was still sitting in the fold, Tianling sighed, the evil feudal society is too devoid of human rights! Violation of child protection laws!

The emperor put down the pen, raised his eyes and saw that Tianling was gently stepping his feet, and he changed his legs for a while, and in addition to being serious and smiling sweetly, there was a little grievance on his face, and the emperor's mood suddenly improved.

Although this gilded dragon chair is covered with a layer of soft cushions, it can't prevent sitting for a long time with backache, at this time, it is as uncomfortable as seeing the heavenly spirit, the emperor's previous unhappiness that has been lingering has long disappeared, and at the same time he actually feels inexplicably comfortable!

"Heavenly Spirit." The Emperor called.

"Hey! The little ones are in! Seeing that the emperor finally remembered himself, Tianling moved to the emperor with eagerness to crawl, and responded cheerfully. You command! โ€

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทโ€ The emperor's heart is very complicated, this little thing is a flattering dog leg pretended to be at first glance, and he actually likes it a little?

Well?
