King Zhao knelt in the Jianzhang Palace until midnight, and Tuoba Hong was so angry that he didn't sleep for half a night. Although he values the six princes the most, King Zhao, as the eldest son, has always been one of the candidates for the prince in his heart.

Now this child is ten years old, Wen Taowu is not outstanding, and now he has lost his virtue, and after the death of his sister, he fell into the well and said cool things!

Tuoba Hong was deeply disappointed, and when he was tired, he did not punish King Zhao, but just waved him back and said, "Do it yourself."

King Zhao left Jianzhang Palace in despair.

At that time, Lin Yuan was still discussing the palace election with the queen in the Changxin Palace.

An internal supervisor entered the house to report the matter of King Zhao, Lin Yuan listened, a pair of good-looking eyebrows were slightly raised, and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Zhao is too much, and I can't complain that the emperor is angry." You are the mother-in-law of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and now King Zhao has become such a virtuous and virtuous appearance, it is not because he lost his mother at a young age, you must discipline him well in the future. ”

Lin Yuan said one wall, and the other wall watched the queen's expression with a smile.

It was Lin Yuan's means that made King Zhao lose his father's favor. She herself is a person with children, and she will not do anything to a ten-year-old unless she is forced to do so.

But now she's just being forced to do it.

All the people in the palace are not simple characters, including young children, she has always known this. Although King Zhao has been spoiled by his biological mother since he was a child, he has no scheming in the city, but he is not lacking in ambition.

What initially made Lin Yuan angry with King Zhao was that she found out that King Zhao often bullied her in private. Actually, it's not a bullying, it's just a conflict between children - instructing someone to tear Kiki's kite, taking Kiki to play with a juju ball but deliberately kicking the ball on Kiki's head, playing in the snow in the winter and pretending to accidentally dump a handful of ice slag in Kiki's collar, and so on.

Tuoba Qi's children are always accompanied by a large number of nursing mothers and servants, so every time King Zhao plays too much, the people around him will go up to protect him, and it has never caused any serious consequences.

Lin Yuan also understood in his heart that King Zhao was a child, when he was seven years old, he watched his own mother be executed by his father, and now after the birth of the fifth prince and the sixth prince, his father favored these younger brothers more and more. A child's jealousy is much worse than a woman's. King Zhao looks like this, outsiders will think he is very pitiful.

Even Tuoba Qi's children could see it, and he told Lin Yuan that his eldest brother was an ignorant child, and he bullied people because he felt uncomfortable. And from another point of view, the more Zhao Wang went too far, the more he proved how partial his father was to their children, and he should be happy that he was favored by his father.

But Lin Yuan didn't see it that way. She told Xiaoqi that three years old looks big and seven years old looks old, what about the child? I bullied people when I was a child, and when I grew up, I got worse.

She had already begun to hate King Zhao.

And what really prompted Lin Yuan to decide to use the same means he used to deal with concubines to deal with King Zhao was because of the death of Emperor Shujia.

When King Zhao said something that shouldn't be said, he wasn't just ignorant. He was already ten years old, and he had gradually learned the dirty methods of the court, and he said that there was a purpose.

At that time, Emperor Shujia was newly mourned, and Empress Shangguan went to Changle Palace to kneel and plead guilty to the Queen Mother, saying that she was Shujia's mother-in-law but did not take good care of Shujia.

The Queen Mother naturally would not unreasonably criticize the queen. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat for a while, and the queen got up to say goodbye, and met King Zhao, who had not completely recovered from his illness, in the front yard of Changle Palace.

The ten-year-old King Zhao was finally much smarter than he was when he was seven years old, so he learned to read words and colors, and learned to think. He saw the war between Empress Shangguan and Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi, and he also saw that the queen wanted to use Shujia's death to suppress Zhao Zhaoyi, and he fell into the well against Shujia in order to flatter Empress Shangguan.

In the brutal killing of the palace, as a child who lost his biological mother and adoptive mother, he chose to defect to Empress Shangguan.

Lin Yuan soon learned the news. She and Shangguan Li were endless, and naturally they couldn't tolerate King Zhao's choice.

In the palace, only King Zhao is an ownerless prince. For Empress Shangguan, her two sons cannot inherit the throne...... If the abacus is hit on King Zhao and he is elected as the prince, it will also be a good game of chess.

King Zhao's small action made Lin Yuan see the endless crisis.

If you dare to join this game, you must follow the rules and continue to play. Lin Yuan will not raise his noble hand just because he is a child, he is not a child, he is his enemy!

At this time, Lin Yuan fixed his eyes on Shangguan Li. She wanted to dig out more about the matter from the other person's look.

Shangguan Li brought a Yunfeng tea to drink, there was no wave on his face, and he smiled lightly at Lin Yuan: "Zhaoyi, you also said just now, this palace is the mother of all the children in this palace." ”

Sidestep the question.

But it made Lin Yuan angry and couldn't attack.

She laughed, got up and said, "The matter of the palace election, in fact, there is nothing to discuss, everything is according to the queen's orders." The concubine has been bothering here for a long time, and it's time to leave. ”

Shangguan Li served tea to the guests, and said behind her: "The palace also agrees with the matter of your invitation to the emperor yesterday." Fan Yu, this child, you should have married her off sooner. ”

Lin Yuan was stunned, and then bowed respectfully and retired.

"Even Empress Shangguan hopes that Fan Yu will marry as soon as possible." After Lin Yuan returned to the palace, he talked about this matter to Chu Xue rather mockingly: "You say, should I ask the emperor again for my life to marry Fan Yu early?" ”

Lin Yuan hoped that Fan Yu would leave early, but she didn't expect Empress Shangguan to think the same way.

"The queen has begun to be jealous of this eldest daughter." Chu Xue said in a low voice: "Niangniang, it is good for everyone for the eldest daughter of the emperor to leave the palace as soon as possible." Although she has helped us over the years, she has a stubborn and ruthless personality, and now she can faintly see the hidden evil intentions. She is a dangerous person, we don't know what she will do in the future, and it is best to send her away as soon as possible. ”

"I'm afraid she won't want to go." Lin Yuan frowned: "She will do whatever she wants." I still don't understand what kind of thoughts she has when she asks to marry the prince of Xiliang. But she seems to care about Tang Muyi in the important town of northern Shaanxi, so I still handled this matter for her as soon as possible. ”

The emperor issued an edict today to give Handan City to Fan Yu as Tang Muyi.

It was a pleasant surprise. At the beginning, she promised Fan Yu to give her a big city as a fief, but Handan is one of the five major capitals of the Central Plains, how can it be compared with ordinary cities?

I hope Fan Yu can like it, and don't ask her for help in the future, at least don't go against yourself.

In a few days, it will be the show girl election.

The royal draft is not just for the emperor to choose a concubine. All the princes and county kings in the royal family, if they need princesses and concubines, can ask the emperor for orders during the draft, and the emperor will often give show girls to the royal family's children.

This time, there were more than 100 show girls, and there were only fifty or sixty left after three tosses and two tosses. Many royal sons were seriously dissatisfied with this.

At this time, the intermittent Jiaotai Hall had just been repaired and put into use. When Tuoba Hong appeared on the main hall accompanied by the queen, his face was not good-looking, and there were bruises under his eyes.

The Mongol stabbed him in the back was annoyed enough, and his son was not angry. He has had a bleak life these days, and he didn't even go to the Empress Shangguan, who was alluring the country and the city, and he didn't have much heart to watch the show girl.

As a concubine, Lin Yuan would not be able to preside over the draft without a holy decree. She sat in the harem safely, listening to the palace people in front of her passing back and forth, and handling the trivial and miscellaneous matters selected by the palace.

For example, which show girl fainted after being "put on a sign", which one broke the rules in front of the palace, and which one argued with others in the backyard...... Dispose of it as you would have it.

All the show girls were excited and frightened when they faced the saint. They are dreaming of ethereal dreams to imagine the supreme glory in the future, and even the phoenix robe like Queen Shangguan, and now, they are facing a man who can dominate their lives, they think that today's moment of time can determine success or failure, as long as they get the emperor's blue eyes, they can become a phoenix for nine days.

Girls who are innocent of the world will not understand until much later that this moment of the day is only a beginning, the beginning of purgatory and not the beginning of a dream.

As Lin Yuan thought, after several noble-born show girls fled the palace due to the plague, the show girl Tao became eye-catching.

Tao is the sixth batch of show girls to enter the temple to worship. Of the five batches of 25 women in front, only three left signs.

Tuoba Hong was more satisfied with the daughter of Tongzhou Thorn Shi, Li, and after asking her a few words of "Four Books" at random, he canonized her as Xiaoyuan on the spot. Empress Shangguan made a face in front of people, and her husband and wife settled the side hall of Wanchun Palace as a residence for Li Xiaoyuan. It has always been that the show girl will be given a title three days after the palace election, and the Li family will enter the harem on the day of the palace election, which is really eye-catching.

Compared with the Li family, the father of the Tao family is a military official, not a military general, and he is not as good as the Li family's emperor's favor.

But she wasn't discouraged. She was a very bold girl, and after entering the palace, she was generous, and her reply was calm and appropriate, and she immediately attracted the emperor's attention.

Later, the emperor asked her father by name. Just as the emperor decided to leave the sign, an attendant hurriedly flashed out of the apse, whispered a few words to the emperor's side, and presented a note.

Tuoba Hong's expression changed, and then he looked at Tao again with his eyebrows.

Finally, he put down the roster in his hand and ordered: "Give the Xiunu Tao to King Xianyu as a concubine." ”

When Tao Xiunu was stunned, she was quickly taken down by the surrounding internal supervisors. Tuoba Hong no longer looked at her, and waited for the next batch of show girls to come in.

Although Dow is excellent, it is not very attractive to the emperor who has more than Chinese New Year's Eve time and has read thousands of sails. King Xianyu asked to marry this Tao by name, Tuoba Hong was naturally happy to be a favor, Tao's appearance was too far from Queen Shangguan, and it was impossible for him to have a dispute with his brother for a woman.
