Chapter 159: Ambition is bound to win

In order to achieve the goal of entering the palace as a concubine, Xue Wu came to the palace of Chongqing early in the morning to persuade Xue Yi to allow Emperor Cheng to enter the palace, but let Xue Wu wear out his mouth, Xue Yi smiled silently, Xue Yi was silent because he was speechless, Xue Wu gushed endlessly, full of filial piety for children and morality for courtiers, if Xue Yi refused to enter the palace, it would be disloyal and unfilial to the rebel ministers. ET

She can only be silent, neither agreeing nor objecting, Xue Yi is like a snow in her heart, she knows that Xue Wu must have some ulterior secrets or reasons for lobbying her to enter the palace as a concubine so hard, otherwise with her understanding of Xue Wu, Xue Wu will not recognize her as a sister, let alone be so affectionate She even has a bit of a stammering taste.

Du Ruo hurriedly ran in, and when he saw Xue Wu, he didn't hide his surprise and disdain at all, if it weren't for Xue Yi's face, Du Ruo would have ridiculed the famous first beauty of the Yueyue Country.

"What's going on like that?" Xue Yi straightened up and looked at Du Ruo with disgust, her eyes full of pity and pity.

Du Ruo glanced at Xue Wu and stopped talking.

Xue Wu secretly hated Du Ruo's arrogance in her heart, and said in her heart that if one day Lan Xue Wu is bound to make you look good, but now she has to bow her head under the eaves, she has grown up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since she was a child, and naturally knows that the dog in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion is like a seven-grade sesame official, and now Xue Yi can not afford to offend anyone in this room by her Lan Xue Wu!

"Look at my pig brain, my mother said let me ask my sister on her behalf, since my sister still has important things to do, then my little sister will retire first." Xue Wu got up and took her leave.

"It's not a big deal, but this girl is just a ghost, sister sit for a while?" Xue Yi kept in her mouth, but her body stood up to see off the guest.

Xue Wu repeatedly said goodbye, and Xue Yi ordered the little maid who was waiting at the door to say, "Good student to send the second lady home." “

Seeing Xue Wu walk out of the courtyard gate, Xue Yi hurriedly turned around and asked Du Ruo, "How is it?" Do you know for sure? “

Du Ruo nodded: "The slave maid inquired, at this time, it has been rumored in the direction of Yuzhou that the princess is about to enter the palace as a concubine in the near future, and presumably the prime minister will also hear the news." “

Xue Yi let out a long sigh of relief, her hand fell on her lower abdomen, and she said to herself: "That's good, that's good, child, I hope my mother can keep your grandfather okay by doing this." “

Du Ruo saw that Xue Yi was in a trance, her face was worried, and she hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, princess, naturally it will be fine." “

Xue Yi smiled tiredly, raised her hand and motioned for Du Ruo to help her go to the couch to rest for a while, she just closed her eyes, seemed to remember something, turned around and asked Du Ruo: "Did the emperor not come to the palace today?" “

Du Ruo smiled in his heart, and said in his heart that this person is really strange, in the past, the emperor came every day, and the princess always ignored it with a cold face, but today there was no news from the emperor for half a day, the princess was worried, she hurriedly shook her head: "The slave maid has not seen the emperor, and I have never seen the father-in-law in the palace to spread anything." “

"Oh, really?" Xue Yi fell asleep.

How did Xue Yi know that Emperor Cheng was busy choosing concubines in the Jiaofang Palace at this time, just dispersed the dynasty, the grandmother next to the Queen Mother led five or six eunuchs to wait next to the court, and couldn't help but say that Emperor Cheng would hug him to the Jiaofang Palace, Emperor Cheng was helpless, so he had to accompany the Queen Mother to sit on the dragon chair, Yingying Yanyan fell in the eyes of Emperor Cheng and was naturally less than one ten-thousandth of Xueyi, and the Queen Mother saw Emperor Cheng's indispensable appearance, and couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty, the mourning family has violated the last order of the first emperor and promised the two girls of the Lan family to enter the palace, but there are also a few concubines in this harem who will spread out for the royal family." , you just have to deal with these girls, but there are one or two that you like?! “

Emperor Cheng cheered up at this time, but he still had a perfunctory heart, looking at the six women kneeling below with their heads bowed and pointing: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters look at these two very well, and the rest should retreat." “

The Queen Mother knew that Emperor Cheng had no intention of this, so she had to say to herself: "Since you are choosing a concubine, how can these two do?" Now that the harem is empty, Qinxiang Palace, Yunying Palace, and Qinfang Pavilion are all idle, why don't you let the mourning family make a decision for the emperor? “

Emperor Cheng wished that the Queen Mother would say so, anyway, these concubines were elected to the palace just to comfort the Queen Mother, as for his heart and his people are only to protect Xue Yi alone, of course, these words can not be said to the Queen Mother, Emperor Cheng was even more unexpected, today's selection of concubines is destined to bring endless harm to Xue Yi in the future, and even can only stay away from his homeland and go to another country.

The Queen Mother left the two people selected by Emperor Cheng, and selected six people, including the daughter of Feng Chi, the sister of Lin Zhangzhi....... and one person who was actually Gong Yi's daughter, Emperor Cheng looked at the woman who called herself Gong Zhengxiu and couldn't help but be stunned, he remembered very well that Gong Yi had asked him to promise one thing, that is, he would never recruit his daughter into the palace as a concubine, why was his daughter also selected today?

"Are you Gong Yi's daughter Gong Zhengxiu?" Emperor Cheng stared at the woman with her head holding dark clouds and sideburns and jade hairpins on her sideburns and asked curiously.

"Yes." Although Gong Zhengxiu only said one word, this voice fell in Emperor Cheng's ears and felt a little familiar!

"Look up." Cheng Di Dao.

The queen mother on the side saw Emperor Cheng staring at Gong Zhengxiu intently, secretly proud, she had long heard that Gong Yi's daughter Gong Zhengxiu was full of calligraphy and painting, although it was not as famous as Lan Xuewu, but it was also an extremely rare beauty, this time for Emperor Cheng to choose a concubine, although Gong Yi was reluctant to send her daughter to the palace, but with her power as the queen mother of a country and both soft and hard, Gong Yi had to send Gong Zhengxiu into the palace.

The queen mother chose a concubine for Emperor Cheng, and enriching the harem is only one of the reasons, and more importantly, she wants to search for the beauties and talented women of the Moon Country to share Xueyi's favor, she can't watch Emperor Cheng follow in the footsteps of the first emperor, three thousand favors hurt others and hurt themselves in the end, and it was a big mistake!

Now seeing that Emperor Cheng really paid attention to Gong Zhengxiu, he was naturally very happy, and saw that Gong Zhengxiu still bowed his head and said humbly: "The courtiers are ugly, and they are afraid of the saint, so they dare not raise their heads." “

The voice is like a clear spring in the mountains, pleasant to the ear, although Gong Zhengxiu deliberately changed her own voice, but Emperor Cheng still heard who she was, a playful smile slowly bloomed on his lips, it seems that some fate can't be broken even if he wants to, but he didn't expect to see the old man in this deep palace.

"Forgive your innocence, keep your head up!"

Gong Zhengxiu slowly raised her head, and the water waves rippled with a bit of seductive spring, shooting towards Emperor Cheng's black eyes, sure enough, it was her!

Emperor Cheng recognized at a glance that Gong Zhengxiu in front of him was not a bystander, but the missing Yushang girl in Yuwangfu, on the day of the burial of King Yu, Xueyi had ordered someone to search for Shuangyang City, hoping that the Yushang girl could send the Yuwang on the last journey, and did not want to find it outside the city.

Emperor Cheng didn't debunk her, and smiled faintly: "The queen mother has good eyesight, and she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color." “

The Queen Mother deliberately lowered her face and whispered: "The emperor must pay attention to his words and demeanor, and must not be so petty." “

"Yes, yes, yes." Emperor Cheng agreed again and again, and discussed with the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I want to put these new women in the palace in the Queen Mother for the time being, as for the position, how about temporarily being named concubines?" “

The Queen Mother immediately shook her head and denied: "Didn't the emperor's words chill the hearts of the courtiers?" They sent their daughters and sisters to the palace to serve the country, but they didn't put them there as vases! ”

Emperor Cheng explained with a smile: "Queen Mother, these women are either the daughters of the heroes or the daughters of the generals, and whoever is close to me is biased, and I don't know the moral character of these women, why not reward them again in time?" ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, let the mourning family put more effort into it, and teach them the rules and etiquette for the emperor, it's just ........"

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and continued: "It's just that the emperor can't refuse this matter of serving." “

Emperor Cheng nodded in agreement, and the fifth duke hurriedly ran over, knelt in the main hall and played: "Your Majesty, just now the military department sent 100,000 urgent twists and turns, saying that the war in Yuzhou is tight, and Lord Feng Chi Feng and Master Li Qin Li are waiting for the holy car in the upper study!" ”

The Queen Mother sat unsteady when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "May, what's wrong with Yuzhou?" Where is the war?! Why doesn't the mourning family know?! ”

It turned out that Emperor Cheng deliberately concealed the rebellion of the Empress Dowager Lan Guang, firstly, he was worried that Xue Yi would not be able to enter the palace, and secondly, he did not want the Empress Dowager to be frightened, but the fifth duke saw that the ministers were panicked, so he forgot the emperor's instructions for a while, so he leaked out. Emperor Cheng saw that the Queen Mother was anxious, and hurriedly smiled faintly: "Queen Mother, don't be alarmed, it's not a big deal, it's just that Prime Minister Lan Cheng is hugging troops outside, and I want to ask for an explanation for the first emperor, I have already sent someone to invite Prime Minister Lan to return to the court, and I think I can go to the capital in a few days." ”

Emperor Cheng said it lightly, but the Queen Mother knew that things must not be as simple as Emperor Cheng said, otherwise the five fathers would not be so flustered, but the harem cannot interfere in politics, and she has no good strategy, so she can only pretend to be calm and stabilize the harem.

The queen mother went to arrange all the new concubines who entered the palace, and the emperor hurriedly went to the imperial study, and the selection of concubines ended in such a hurry.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Emperor Cheng had just stepped into the imperial study, Feng Chi, Li Qin and others knelt on the ground to pay homage and salute, Emperor Cheng motioned for everyone to be flat, and asked: "Lord Li, you are so panicked to enter the palace to see me, but is there any new news?" ”

Li Qin nodded and said: "Yes, if you go back to the emperor, for some reason, the capital has been rumored overnight since Yuzhou and the two sisters of the Lan family have entered the palace as concubines!" ”

"Good! It's really heaven helping me! "Emperor Cheng was overjoyed, and the case was applauded.

Everyone looked at Emperor Cheng in a daze, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this emperor's gourd, what did Lan Guang's rebellion have to do with her daughters entering the palace, and the emperor was so happy.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Emperor Cheng didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "I promise the rank that within ten days, Lord Lin will escort Lan Guang back to the court for trial!" ”
