In mid-April, the Yincheng general election.

All families with daughters in the family, over the age of thirteen and under the age of eighteen, shall stop their marriages and funerals, stay at home, and be watched by the local guards.

If there are qualified people, they will all be issued with signs, and then report to the state and county prefects.

From there, step by step, by the time they reached the household department, there were only two hundred and three people left.

There is the queen mother's state mourning in front.

The inner court ordered: All the show girls to be selected are not allowed to wear hairpins, mainly plain brocade, and powder is the best to apply thin noodles.

As a result, they carefully selected from their appearance, posture, manners, etc., and only fifty people remained, and after Emperor Yin saw each other in person, only six women were left.

At this moment, they were all standing outside the Fengqi Pavilion hall, waiting for the queen to reward them personally.

"Yo! Sister Mu, are you here too? ”

The person who spoke was named Qi Ge, and she was the concubine of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.

She smiled very delicately, with a slender waist, and paced over with a sneering look at the other woman.

And the woman who was watched was called Mu Jiao.

This is the concubine of the left servant of the ministry.

Just a few days ago, in order to clean up the court for Emperor Yin, the officials used various reasons to submit the names of a group of officials, and several of them happened to be protégés of the Qi Mansion.

Because of this, the Liangzi of the Qi Mansion and the Mu family can be regarded as concluded.

Hearing the ridicule of the woman in front of her, Mu Jiao's expression was over, she raised her head, and looked at her in a daze, the Dongzhu on the other party's earlobe swayed, which was very bright against the backdrop of the sun.

"How?"

Qi Ge unconsciously pursed his ears, and looked at Mu Jiao's eyes, adding a little disdain.

"This is Dongzhu, shouldn't you be...... Haven't seen it, have you? ”

Mu Jiao lowered her head.

Her voice seemed cautious and calm.

"The Queen Mother is gone, the national filial piety is still there, and my sister is wearing Dongzhu, I'm afraid it's not good?"

When these words were spoken, the expressions of the remaining four people moved.

"Tut-tut......"

Unexpectedly, when he heard this, the smile in the other party's eyes deepened.

"Then do you know that the Queen Mother loved Dongzhu the most when she was alive, and I took it with me, and I also talked about my thoughts about the Queen Mother, what is wrong with this filial piety?"

"But the queen...... I love Dongzhu ...... too."

Among the four people, I don't know what to say, and the voice is timid.

With just this sentence, Qi Geliu's eyebrows straightened, and he turned his head suddenly, glaring straight at them, with a faint anger in his coquettish eyes.

"You ......"

I was about to ask again, but I saw someone in the temple.

Mingyue took small steps, respectfully walked in front of the six people, and first half-bent over and brushed three times, which was regarded as a meeting gift. Her face was always filled with a gentle and decent smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the side hall and wait, the queen is drafting a decree."

"Yes."

Everyone lowered their heads and frowned, quietly.

Seeing this, Qi Ge, who was still angry, suddenly had a smile on his face, stepped forward, and saluted:

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Mingyue was still smiling.

"Little master doesn't need to be polite," she said, and she looked back thoughtfully, "Please come with the slaves." ”

Inside the Lotus Hall.

The queen was sitting by the desk, and the white jade incense burner beside her was glowing with curling jasmine sandalwood.

She browled her brow with one hand, looking at the list presented by the inner court, her brows furrowed slightly.

The faint sound of footsteps sounded in my ears.

"Mother's ......"

"It's all arranged?"

The person in front of the case raised his head faintly and glanced at the visitor.

"Yes...... Fortunately, the slave and maid went in time, otherwise we would have staged a big drama in front of this palace. ”

"How?"

"Fang Cai Mu and Qi had a dispute, Qi relied on his slightly higher background, and humiliated Mu on the spot, but fortunately, Mu knew the overall situation, so he didn't make trouble on the spot."

"There are no rules! In the palace, how can the palace concubines be presumptuous? ”

That being said, there was not the slightest hint of gloom in her expression.

There's an ignorant grasshopper, that's good!

It's time to stir up this seemingly clear water, and let the dust mixed in it float to the surface!

As he was talking, Mingshan hurried in.

"Master, Father-in-law Xia is here."

Before the queen got up, Xiao Xiazi went to the palace with the brocade box, and he made a thousand calls diligently, and then presented it respectfully.

"Niangniang, this is what the emperor meant, you can see it."

Mingyue took it and put it on the desk to open it, but the things inside were the titles of these new palace concubines.

Natsuko lowered her head.

"The emperor said that it was mainly according to Niangniang's wishes, he just suggested."

The queen smiled.

"Yes...... Ask the eunuch to go back and pass the word, and he will say that the palace understands. ”

The people below also smiled.

"Then the servant will retire." With that, he respectfully stepped back.

When I looked closely, I saw it

Folk girl: Wen Lan, a colorful girl, no title

The concubine of the left servant of the Ministry of Justice: Mu Jiao, a talented person, without a title

The concubine of the Shaoqing Mansion of Honglu Temple: Gu Yanwan, a talented person, has no title

The daughter of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion: Qi Ge, a beauty, titled "Jia"

Shangshu Lingfu's concubine: Nangong Ruyun, Jieyu, titled "Xiang"

The daughter of the Zhongshu Lingfu: Dou Yuehe, Jieyu, titled "Liang"

The queen's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

"This Wencai girl, but the one left behind by Jiangnan Dongdao?"

"Exactly ......"

Sensing the master's jealousy, Mingyue's face was also covered with a layer of gloom.

In the general election in front of the Yin Palace on the same day, most of the people who could see the face of heaven were the rich and noble women of the central government, and there were only a few people's daughters, all of whom were extremely top-notch women.

Especially so, in the end, there is still no one who can enter the eyes of the emperor.

Except for the Wencai girl.

After seeing her portrait, there was at least five or six points of resemblance to the one who used to be in Canghai Pavilion, so he secretly remembered.

"Mother, do you want to see her?"

After a little contemplation, the queen waved her hand, and her nervous expression gradually relaxed.

"Don't worry, there must be someone more urgent than us!"

"The master is right...... Crape Myrtle Pavilion? ”

She bowed her head and was silent.

After a long time, the person in front of the case returned to his usual calm and dignified.

"In a few days, it will be the canonization ceremony, since it is the emperor's intention, the palace is not easy to refute, so it will be passed on like this, but it is just ......"

The eyes of the person in front of the case rolled.

Immediately afterwards, she picked up the wolf hao pen at hand and crossed out Qi's title.

"Such virtue, don't tarnish the emperor's reputation!"

"This ......"

The people on the side were secretly worried.

"The slave is just afraid of the mother...... Therefore, if the emperor thinks that you treat her harshly, we will lose a lot of money. ”

"Don't be afraid."

The queen put down the pen lightly, and her tone was indifferent.

"If the emperor asks, the palace will have its own reply!"

Next.

The queen issued an edict announcing the palace of the new concubines.

"Liang Jieyu and Qi Meiren live together and live in Qionghua Palace; Xiang Jieyu lives with Mu Cairen and lives in Yifeng Pavilion; Gu Cairen and Wen Cai Nu lived in Chunxi Pavilion temporarily. ”

"A palace concubine with a higher palace rank is in charge of the first palace mastership."

"Yes."

And all the people prostrated themselves and their hearts were full of joy.

Except for Liang Jieyu.

Qi embarrassed Mu on the spot, his temperament was arrogant and perverse, and he could see it at a glance, if it wasn't for Xiang Jieyu to speak out, I was afraid that they would all be implicated.

How can such a person be a good match?

She frowned slightly, but her dissatisfaction was fleeting.

"Concubine Xie Lord Longen!"
