In the sound of firecrackers and the sweet fragrance of melon seeds, winter goes to spring unconsciously.

"There is an important matter to discuss with your sisters today."

Go to Changchun. When the palace asked for peace, the queen officially announced: "There are fewer and fewer concubines in the harem, and the emperor has not entered the newcomer for a long time, so it's time to enter." Although our emperor already has four princes under his knees, he does not worry about heirs. But heirs, after all, the more the better. ”

More is better?

Concubine Yan lowered her head and rolled her eyes, what is the use of having more heirs in her heart? The first emperor had so many heirs, and now the wife is still peaceful, except for the emperor and Prince Yong, who are the two county kings.

What about the others?

Either he rebelled and died early, or he was disrespectful to the emperor and was locked up in the Zongren Mansion, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come out for the rest of his life.

Seeing that there was no joy on everyone's faces, the queen naturally understood what it was.

There are fewer people in the harem, which is naturally a good thing for these young concubines, and the emperor may be able to look at them a little more.

Once the harem is overnumbered, and a steady stream of younger newcomers gain the upper hand, it will be a devastating crisis for the old people.

Compared to them, the queen thinks she can hold it.

After all, the age of her and Concubine Hui is here, whether it is Concubine Yan and Concubine Zhao, or younger newcomers, they are all a threat to them.

This threat has been going on for a long time, and gradually I don't care about it.

The queen looked at Su Youyi, "The matter of the draft is very important, and the emperor's pillow person must be carefully selected." In the past, the palace and the emperor presided over the draft together, and this year, Zhao Concubine will also be together. ”

She has the power of the assistant harem, so she is naturally qualified to participate in the draft.

It's just that the queen asked her to participate, not necessarily out of good intentions, I'm afraid it's more to see her attitude towards newcomers, right?

Su Youyi got up and was respectful as usual, "The concubine must do her best to choose a new person for the emperor and the queen." ”

She is a person who has no desires, and the queen's temptation is like a fist in cotton for her, and it does not work at all.

Such a calm attitude looks at it in the eyes of others, but there is a different understanding.

After everyone dispersed, Cui Shao poured a new cup of tea for the queen.

The queen said: "This palace proposed to let Zhao Concubine and this palace preside over the draft together, what do you think of Zhao Concubine's expression?" ”

Cui shook his head and said, "The slave and maid are not shocked when they see Concubine Zhao, and they don't seem to be worried about the newcomer entering the palace at all. It's no wonder that she has been by the emperor's side for two years, and the emperor doesn't mean to get tired of treating her at all, and seems to be more pampered. ”

The queen glanced sideways at her, and Cui Shao explained: "The slave maid means, the Eternal Longevity Palace. ”

"Yes, the luxury of Yongshou Palace really doesn't look like the emperor's handiwork at all."

The queen smiled, "No wonder she is so confident, and she is not worried about the newcomer entering the palace at all." It's just that the newcomers to this draft ......"

Her face gradually became solemn, and Cui shook and said, "Niangniang, is there anything wrong with the newcomers in this draft?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the side."

The queen's face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, and the cold air was everywhere, "But there is one person, it is very inappropriate......"

Su Youyi and others went out of Changchun. Palace, meet together to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.

Spring. The light is just right, and the flowers are full of flowers, so it's best to take advantage of this time to enjoy the flowers.

"You don't have to take advantage of the sedan chair, this place is not far from the Imperial Garden, shall we walk over?"

Su Youyi proposed this, Chun Changzai was naturally the first to echo the martial arts practitioners, Wan Changzai also said yes, Yan Concubine said: "Okay, just loosen your muscles." ”

As they walked, Concubine Yan chatted casually: "Sister Zhao, Queen Fangcai asked you to participate in the draft together, what do you mean by that?" ”

Su Youyi paused and said vaguely: "Xu is because of the status of the assistant harem, so let me join by the way." In fact, who to choose or not to choose during the draft, even the queen herself may not be able to be the master, the key is still in the emperor, and I go is just a decoration. ”

Yan Concubine makes sense to think about it.

Wan Chang said: "I just looked at my sister's indifferent appearance, she was really good." Some people want to see their sister worry, but my sister didn't give them this chance. ”

Su Youyi was surprised: "Did I just look indifferent?" ”

"yes!"

Chun Chang Zai also said: "Sister's expression, as if to say, I am not afraid of more newcomers, I am the most favored!" ”

Su Youyi was so angry that she beat her, Chun Chang had already taken precautions, and hid behind Wan Chang and didn't come out.

Su Youyi said: "How can I be what you say? I just think it's okay to let me go to preside over the draft, since the queen mentioned me and responded, why did I have so much thought? ”

When Concubine Yan saw the two of them making trouble, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Chun is right, I think the same way when I see your expression, but I'm afraid that the queen will think the same way." ”

Su Youyi was helpless, "Alas, I am really standing on the cusp of the storm, and everything I do is being stared at, and I will be misunderstood if I am not careful." ”

Seeing this, Chun Chang thought she was angry, and hurriedly apologized, "Sister, don't be angry, I was unintentional, I won't say this next time!" ”

Su Youyi sneered, "Who is angry with you?" I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about others. Since you all think so, I'm afraid that others will think the same way when they see me, don't you think I'm arrogant? ”

"Hey, what do you care about what other people want to do?"

As soon as Concubine Yan spoke, she quickly reacted, "I know, are you worried that the queen will misunderstand you?" ”

Su Youyi smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to her words.

Everyone soon arrived in the imperial garden, while admiring the flowers, they unconsciously chatted about this draft.

Wan Chang said: "A few days ago, my father sent a message to the palace and comforted me a few words. Saying that the draft is coming requires me to adjust my mentality and not be jealous and go astray. He also said that he wanted me to listen to my sister more, saying that my sister acted safely and that it was always right to follow my sister. By the way, did my father also receive Sister Jinling Yunjin brought from the south? ”

Su Yunyan nodded, "I got it, I've already replied to my uncle." ”

Su Qing is really a person who understands the general situation, and even thinks of persuading his daughter to relax her mind first about the draft, and always lets Wan Chang listen to Su Youyi's words.

Every time he sent a message into the palace to Wan Changzai, he would almost send a message to Su Youyi to say hello at the same time, and even the special Tuyi he brought back from his inspection in the south was also sent to Su Youyi alone.

Sometimes Su Youyi even had the illusion that Su Qing was really her relative elder.

Concubine Yan smiled: "Lord Su's idea is really different, unlike my father, who will only send a message into the palace to tell me about the show woman he inquired about, and tell me to be careful of this and that." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be curious and discussed.

"Sister Yan, who are the candidates?"
