Ye Zhao usurped the throne, his henchmen and lackeys were all eradicated, and loyal ministers loyal to Emperor Xiaoqing were all promoted to the throne. But now there are very few courtiers in the court. However, fortunately, the three-year imperial examination is just around the corner, and now the DPRK and China need these pillars of the country and young talents who are loyal to the country.

In the Taihe Palace, Gu Tingyun and Gu Zhiran sat on the ground, and on the low table between the two, there was a cup of tea, and there was little smoke from the red sandalwood burner next to it.

Gu Tingyun took a sip of tea and said: "The selection of concubines this time is not trivial, there are more than 1,000 people in the people, plus the daughters of the ministers, a total of more than 1,500 people. After screening, there should be 300 people, among which the queen and the four concubines, the emperor must solemnly choose them. ”

Gu Zhiran looked at Gu Tingyun with a smile and said, "Did the eldest brother send all the women who can participate in the draft into the palace?" ”

Gu Tingyun nodded, frowning and looking at him, how did he feel that the smile on the emperor's face looked a little weird, since he became the emperor, he couldn't understand this second brother more and more.

At the beginning, he liked freedom, being an idle prince, traveling everywhere, indifferent to fame and fortune.

Now trapped in the deep palace, his temperament has become different from before.

"Isn't there a girl in the eldest brother's house? That girl is very good, why didn't the eldest brother send her to the palace? Gu Zhiran clenched the jade porcelain cup in his hand, lowered his head and smiled, the person in the water was as warm as jade, very handsome.

Gu Tingyun's eyes immediately sank when he heard this, he looked at Gu Zhiran coldly and said, "Does the emperor know what he is talking about?" ”

Gu Zhiran raised his head and looked at him, with a harmless expression on his face: "Of course I know." Tell my eldest brother something, twelve years ago, I traveled all over the world and traveled all over the world, and I once went to Jingzhou. At that time, no one in the world knew that I was a prince, and some thieves stole my money bag, which made me poor and white, and even eating became a problem. But I am a prince, so I can't go to beg, so I fainted from hunger later, and it was the girl of the Fu family who saved me. ”

Gu Tingyun still looked at him coldly and said, "Are you talking about Fu Ruan?" ”

Gu Zhiran nodded, frowned, and said with some sadness: "A few years ago, I went to Jingzhou again, but the Fu family changed masters. The matter of the Fu family, I actually sent someone to investigate it a long time ago, and I already have a small eyebrow. Speaking of the back, Gu Zhiran looked at Gu Tingyun, and the smile on his face had a hint of provocation and pride.

Gu Tingyun was a little unhappy that he was so proud, but he wanted to know the results of the investigation.

"But big brother, I won't tell you." Saying that, he stood up, straightened out his somewhat messy robe and said, "I need to enrich the harem, but I don't need a few hundred people, why don't you send a few to the War King's Mansion, what do you think?" After speaking, Gu Zhiran laughed even more arrogantly, and strode away from the Taihe Palace, ignoring the scorching gaze like a needle behind him.

Gu Tingyun had a calm face and clenched his fists.

After a while, he slowly let go, and he was already indifferent.

Gu Tingyun walked out and saw Gu Zhiran saying something to a guard.

Gu Zhiran caught a glimpse of him, and after he finished explaining, he waved his hand to let the guards leave.

"Is it news about the Fu family's case? How much do you really know? Gu Tingyun couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask, Fu Ruan was his person, this matter should have been done by him, what was it to let the emperor do it first.

"Big brother just wants to know?" Gu Zhiran always has such a gentle expression, not hurried, but it makes people very annoying to watch.

Gu Tingyun's temperament belongs to the more impatient kind, in the face of a gentle and gentle person like Gu Zhiran, he is anxious to draw people, if the other party is not the emperor, he would have been flattened by him.

"You're not going to tell me!" Gu Tingyun said angrily.

Gu Zhiran laughed out loud, looked at him and said, "There is already news about the woman who poisoned Fu Jiacheng and the person I sent out. But the other party is quite powerful, and it may not be easy to arrest her. ”

Gu Tingyun was slightly stunned in his heart, shocked that Gu Zhiran knew more than him.

He only now looked at the gentle man in front of him, who used to know that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and preferred to be idle, but in fact he was so deeply hidden. Did he pretend to be before? On the surface, it seems that the clouds are light and the wind is light and dusty, but in fact, it is Taoguang and obscure.

Gu Zhiran raised his eyebrows, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and asked with a smile: "Why does the eldest brother look at me like this?" ”

Gu Tingyun shook his head: "I just feel that today is like knowing the emperor, and the minister still has to take a step in advance." Saying that, he left in a hurry, Gu Zhiran looked at Gu Tingyun's distant back, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"What am I like, you don't know more." He chuckled and turned to go to the Showgirl Pavilion.

In the Pavilion of Show Girls, there are now only 300 show girls left, and some folk women who have been selected by virtue of their beauty, temperament and talent or the daughters of some ministers all live in the same courtyard. There are ten people living in each room, and they are all show girls here, regardless of identity, but some of them boast of noble status, and they are not happy to live under the same roof with those wild girls outside.

Gu Zhiran had just walked to the door, when he heard a woman's snarky voice, he immediately frowned, stood still, and stood with his hands in his hands.

"I don't know what's going on with my aunt in charge, I actually arranged for you country girls to live in the same room with us young ladies, look at you like this, even if you give you a brocade phoenix robe to put on your body, after all, the pheasant can't become a phoenix. Whoever acts frizzily is not worth the tip of my clothes, even your life. It was Yao Qian, the daughter of Jingzhao Yin Yao Kui, who spoke in this house, and she was a higher status in this house, and those girls from small families did not dare to disobey her, so they simply became her foil. Yao Qian said one, they didn't dare to say two, they knew to laugh every day, and suppressed those who had no identity and no status.

"It's just, look at her shabby, it's really unappetizing to watch."

"Where is as noble as Miss Yao, it is the golden hairpin on this head, which is enough for your family to live for a lifetime."

Li Chengyu, who was accompanying Gu Zhiran, cautiously glanced at his face, and when he saw that he was calm, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you want the slave to report?" ”

Gu Zhiran shook his head and walked inside slowly.

Listening to Yao Qian said coquettishly: "When the lady in charge comes today, you will quickly tell her to take this stinky girl to another house, I am upset when I look at her." Look at the hem of my dress, it's all dirty with her feet. Saying that, he glanced at the girl who was kicked on the ground, and the woman in goose yellow clothes standing next to her suddenly understood, and stepped forward to slap the girl: "Why don't you hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to Sister Yao?" ”

The little girl trembled, lowered her head in horror, and when she heard Zhao Ruyan's words, she hurriedly crawled over and kowtowed to her.

"You're ringing a little bit, but I don't hear it. If you want to knock, you will knock your head, and I will not stop until I shout to stop. Yao Qian, who was sitting on the stool, looked at her such a lowly appearance, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, plucked her ears, and said in a weird manner.

Hearing this, the little girl slammed her head on the ground, and suddenly her forehead was broken, and blood flowed everywhere.

Yao Qian looked at it coldly, but did not shout to stop.

At this time, Gu Zhiran was still indifferent, and slowly walked into the Qiongxiang Zhai of the Xiunu Pavilion with his hands in his hands.

Zhao Ruyan was the first person to see Gu Zhiran, and was immediately frightened to the point that her hands and feet were cold, her legs fell to her knees, and she said in a trembling voice: "See the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Hearing Zhao Ruyan's voice, the show girls who had been watching with relish hurriedly turned around to pay homage, all of them were sincerely afraid.

Yao Qian's face was as pale as paper, she never thought of why the emperor would suddenly come here.

He got up from the stool and fell to his knees in a panic.

"That's how Yao Kui taught his daughter? is also a show girl, but there is no identity here. How dare you bully others? Whose power are you fighting against? Gu Zhiran asked coldly, but his tone was still peaceful.

Yao Qian's face was even more bloodless, and she gritted her teeth and said tremblingly: "The courtiers know their mistakes, and ask the emperor to forgive their sins......"

Gu Zhiran walked past her, walked to the girl who was knocked on her face and was covered in blood, and said, "You raise your head." ”

The girl trembled, raised her head leisurely, and looked at him with big eyes like fawns, frightened and pitiful.

Gu Zhiran was stunned when he looked at her face, the girl's eyebrows and eyes were eight points similar to Fu Ruan.

His pupils constricted suddenly, and his gaze sharpened.

The girl was so frightened by him that she lowered her head again.

He approached her and pulled her up, turned back to Li Chengyu and said, "Disqualify the people who bullied her just now." So saying, he took the girl and left the showgirl's pavilion.

Yao Qian collapsed to the ground with a white face!

Disqualification from the draft...... Immediately fainted.

The show girls in other rooms had already been peeked at, and they were envious when they saw that Shen Xi, a country girl with no family background and no identity backing, was taken away by the emperor and envied, it can be seen that Yao Qian was disqualified from the draft, and she was relieved and happy.

Gu Zhiran took Shen Xi back to the Taihe Palace, and called the imperial doctor to clean the wound on her forehead, feeling a little sorry in her heart.

He asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

Shen Xi lowered his head, a little scared, and replied in a low voice: "The slave maid is called Shen Xi." ”

"Li Chengyu, pass on my will, seal Shen Xi as a concubine, and give graceful words."

Li Chengyu glanced at Gu Zhiran in surprise, and then at Shen Xi, this girl is inferior to one or two except for her eyebrows and eyes. It seems that the emperor is a little special about this woman.

Li Chengyu hurriedly smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Concubine Wanniang, congratulations to Concubine Wanniang." The minion will go and give the decree. ”

Shen Xi looked at Gu Zhiran with a pair of big eyes, without the previous fear, and a little softer.

She got up and knelt down towards Gu Zhiran and said, "Thank you for the emperor's love, the concubine is really fortunate in three lives." ”

She was sent to the draft, never thought that she would come to this point, and she was happy and scared at the same time.

"In the future in this palace, I will protect you, and I will never let people bully you." Gu Zhiran took her into his arms and said softly.

It's good to have someone who can be similar to her, so that you can also comfort the pain of lovesickness.
