In November, it was removed.

The Forbidden City is no longer full of plain colors. The red pillars and palace walls can be exposed.

The decorations in each palace are also gorgeous and exquisite. The concubines are no longer plain clothes. It's almost the New Year, and everyone is wearing flowers and branches.

This year, the fourth master rewarded Yuhua Palace with a lot of brightly colored clothes, including orange red, silver red, and magenta. The corners of Li Yan's eyes twitched. Is this what it means to call yourself and the queen to fight in the ring?

But Li Yan didn't refuse, this is not what he took the initiative to do, it was given by the fourth master, to put it bluntly, it is rewarded by the emperor, and if you don't wear it, it will be disrespectful.

The fourth master personally painted a set of coral jewelry for her. The gold base, the peony made of pink coral, is extremely exquisite, and I made several sets of ruby and white jade.

So in the days of the New Year's feast, I saw the concubine wearing bright and tender clothes and delicate and gorgeous jewelry. How to look good. is also in his twenties, but he looks like a teenager, no wonder he is favored. According to this momentum, in another ten years, it will not fall out of favor!

Looking at Concubine Li, she is getting older, and the dark circles under her eyes are very heavy, no matter how thick the powder is, she can't cover it.

The concubines at the bottom are water spirits, but there is a gap between them and the concubines, not to mention those noble masters.

So the Queen Mother felt that the draft was very necessary.

The first thing to start was a small election, and the palace maid was chosen to serve, but don't underestimate the palace maid, the current queen mother was born as a clothed palace maid.

In the capital, it was lively as early as last winter. There is a big election, and there is a small election. Many out-of-town show girls have entered the capital early, and those with relatives live in relatives' houses, and those without relatives live in guest houses, or rent houses.

After the election, the fourth master almost replaced more than half of the slaves and maids in the palace.

Then the general election began.

In the first general election, it was natural that the queen mother, queen and concubine all went into battle.

Li Yan waited for the show girls to come forward when they were at the end of the reading. Basically, the Queen Mother and the Queen Concubine sat and asked the show girl's family background, what would it be? Something like that.

Li Yan is not familiar with the procedure behind him, he was pointed to the fourth master after the primary election, but he didn't reach this level.

Of course, it is the same now, there are already a number of points to the princes of the clan. It's best to leave it to the emperor or the emperor to look at it, and then point it to whom. Li Yan couldn't tell who was who, and when the Queen Mother said which one was good, she followed suit.

It's just that there is a girl from the Wu Ya clan who is also in this draft. Two of the Ulanara clans. Li Yan pondered that it was the turn of these three, and never spoke. so as not to offend anyone.

Li Yan has seen many of them, and they all think they are good, not bad. I don't know what the ultimate criteria for the draft are, but I just nod along with it anyway. When it was the turn of the girl from the Wu Ya clan, the Queen Mother didn't want it first. Seeing this, the queen could only listen to the queen mother, and she breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl of the Wuya family enters the palace, it is really unacceptable, and it is not light.

Li Yan naturally has no opinion, anyway, there is no need to dwell on this kind of thing, as long as no one from the Li family enters the palace to serve the fourth master.

However, there doesn't seem to be any women of the right age in the Li family, but the Xie family does have it, but the Xie family is such a concubine, so she is naturally unhappy, and as for the concubine, it is not a serious Xie family.

The Queen Mother knew that there was a girl from the Wu Ya clan who entered the palace for the draft. The emperor is about to look at his face and keep the last pass. Maybe will watch his face stay in the harem.

But the Queen Mother didn't want it. As the emperor, how much honor can't he enjoy? I can't afford to lift up the girl of the Wu Ya clan. With the emperor here, the wealth of the Wuya clan for several generations has been there. As for power, the Queen Mother thinks that Wu Ya doesn't have that ability.

Another is that the Queen Mother has been pressed by Tong Jia's all her life, and she is really tired. Tong Jia's family is the mother family of the first emperor and has been prominent for a while. Which woman in the harem is not under the oppression of Tong Jia's family? has children and no children, and there is no woman who can surpass Tong Jia's family.

The Queen Mother really didn't want to see such a scene in the harem again.

The Queen Mother slapped the girl of the Wu Ya clan out. But the queen left behind the two girls of the Ulanala family. The Queen Mother saw that the queen was determined to win, and she didn't say anything.

After the final reading, sixty-eight show girls were left. Naturally, this is not all given to the fourth master, most of them still have to be pointed out to the clan.

The people in the harem started to move.

First of all, the queen, after all, even if she is not favored, she is also the queen, and she is the master of the palace in this palace.

Needless to say, there are two members of the Wulanala family, and there is also a show girl surnamed Guo and a show girl surnamed Gao, who were all invited by the queen into Ningshou Palace, as for why the woman with the big surname was not invited, it is also very understandable, I am afraid that the big surname will be pointed out to a few Baylors of the right age to be Fujin.

Concubine Li, Concubine Xi and even Concubine Ke all invited a few show girls who they were optimistic about.

Only Li Yan was invited, and no one was invited. She doesn't plan to cultivate power, what is she going to do to win them over?

But this kind of style is very unpopular among the show girls, and those who are arrogant don't want to pay attention to Li Yan, and they are young now, and they can't compare to a concubine who is nearly thirty years old?

I have to say, you are the truth, don't say who the fourth master has in his heart, right? Let's just talk about the four elder brothers, not to mention the palace, even in the clan, after all, after giving birth to a child, being able to stand up is also a skill.

At the end of March, the final results came in.

Eight were left in the harem of the fourth master.

Guo, Su, An, Liu, Gu, Li, Ma, and one Wulanala.

The Ulanala clan is also the only Manchu girl.

Different from the queen's assumption, the queen thought that the fourth master would leave at least twenty. And the two girls of the Ulanala family, how can they keep one. The queen's mind is to leave the fatherless side, not this concubine. But it's okay to keep both.

In addition to the ones who stayed in the harem, there are quite a few good fingers in this group of show girls.

The fourth master pointed out a grid to Hongxi Hongjin and pointed out Fujin to Hongxi. However, it is not a prominent family, and there is no problem in being rich and wealthy in this life, but if you still want to follow the path of your father, it is impossible.

also pointed out a Fujin to the thirteenth master, which is Ma Jia's, and is also one of the eight Manchu surnames, the fourteenth master and the fifteenth master pointed to two Gege, and in the clan, many pointed to the Fujin, and the filial piety period was three years, and many were in a hurry to get married.

There are also sons of ministers who are married and step-married. Anyway, there will be more than 60 people, and there will be enough points.

When the dust settled, the former dynasty and the harem all stared at the emperor to see how he wanted to seal these newcomers, and also to see who was fortunate first. Who called the Son of Heaven homeless?

The fourth master is relatively stingy in sealing the harem. None of them are given high positions.

Guo's, Su's, and An's sealed their promises, Liu's and Gu's were not considered concubines, Ma's father was very useful, and the fourth master gave him a permanent position.

The Ulanala clan, but the fourth master gave it to a nobleman.

A noble person is nothing, but for a show girl who has just entered the palace, it is a high position. For a time, the noble man of the Ulanala clan was hot.

Especially although the Wulanala clan only left a show girl this time, there was still a Chu Xian before, although I don't know why I was able to do my best in the filial piety period, but now I have agreed.

Although it's a promise, but this is the queen's sister, can you not take care of it? As for the nobles of Nala, they have to be served even more.

After the removal, either the emperor rested in Yuhua Palace, or Concubine Chen went to Qianqing Palace to accompany him. Other people in the harem haven't had a chance to meet the emperor yet.

Finally waited for the fourth master to go elsewhere, and the fourth master did not pamper the newcomer, but went to the palace of the honorable people. In the side hall of the Yongshou Palace, the fourth master leaned on the collapse to read a book. Concubine Gong brought tea and sat aside to embroider. She didn't dare to put it on.

When he arrived, the fourth master threw down the book and said, "Settle it." ”

Gong Guiren hurriedly stood up, waited for the fourth master to clean his hands and face, and personally waited for the fourth master to lie down.

The nobleman collapsed from the feet of the fourth master, and he didn't dare to lean on the fourth master.

The fourth master has nothing to do with that, this woman has been with him for too long. I can't talk about liking it, and I can't say I hate it. There is incense. She has always been honest, and she sincerely serves that little woman, give her a high position.

At this moment, Gong Guiren became Gong Concubine, a concubine with a title, the same as those of the Niu Hulu and Song families who had children. It was also moved from the side hall of the Yongshou Hall to the main hall.

In an instant, many people's eyes were hot, and it was okay to serve the concubine to serve this one.

The queen is like a mirror in her heart, the fourth master definitely doesn't like the Zhang family, but just wants to be a helper for the concubine to stand up. Is it because he left the girl of the Ulanala family? The fourth master is afraid that the concubine will suffer a loss, so he is like this?

The old people know it all in their hearts. To be so protected by the emperor, the concubine is really fortunate to have three lives.

Seeing this, the fourth master didn't say anything more, said sleep, and closed his eyes.

If the Zhang family takes the initiative, the fourth master doesn't mind doing something with her. After all, she is a well-behaved woman. But if she doesn't take the initiative, the fourth master himself won't be too lazy to move, after all, she is quite tired.

Naturally, the Zhang family didn't dare, this kind of thing, they only dared to wait. Seeing that he closed his eyes, he also closed his eyes, and only when he felt that he was asleep did he dare to secretly put his head close to the fourth master's arm.

Li Yan knew that the fourth master went to Concubine Gong, although he was uncomfortable, he was also a little relieved. The fourth master is still willing to look at the old people, and he will not be easily abandoned. It's the best.

The Queen Mother drank tea with Concubine Cheng in her palace: "You said that some people in this world are not enlightened." ”

"Hey, isn't it? Long live our lord's favorite things to be obedient. Concubine Cheng smiled and said, it's just that how many people in this world are willing to be obedient? For example, the Queen. Long live the Lord naturally will not lose her respect. But she wanted more.

It's just that, long live the Lord is the same as the Holy Grandfather. The future of the harem woman's family can only be given by them, not earned by yourself.

The queen does not give up, she wants her son-in-law, and she wants her newborn child to be her son-in-law.

Don't you know that the promotion of Concubine Gong is a slap to the queen. It's just that she thinks the queen may not understand. Or if you understand it, you don't know how to do it. Those who can't let go of the glory and wealth will only go farther and farther. and long live the Lord of Separation from Germany.
