The steward of the Fan royal family's clan clan house, the grandmother, received the decree and punished the queen for kneeling in the temple for a day and a night, and asked the ancestors of the Fan family for their guilt. After kneeling in the temple, he asked the queen to hurry up and start the draft for the saint.

The draft of the Fan clan of the Great Qi Dynasty is a clan affair and has its own rules. According to the family rules, the first draft of the new emperor is required from the first year of his wedding, and then every three years until the emperor reaches the age of 60. After sixty, the emperor is not allowed to draft again.

In the year of the draft, in the family of civil officials above the fourth rank official, or the military general and above the earl, all the concubines who have reached the age of fifteen and have no marriage contract are all candidate draft girls. If you don't want to enter the palace, you can go to the Zongren Mansion to keep it, and you can officially withdraw from the election within half a year. If you have a marriage contract and have not yet married, if you are willing to run for election, you can do it, but you need to go through the formalities of withdrawing from the marriage, and you must not coax and deceive the court. Moreover, those who have been engaged and divorced and then divorced to run for election will also be recorded in the Zongren Mansion. When such a girl enters the palace, there will be no big problems, but she will not look good on her face. In addition, in each family, only one daughter can enter the palace to run for election. If you already have a daughter as a concubine in the harem, you are no longer eligible to run.

This complicated set of draft rules was set by the first generation of Anjun princesses, An Jieyu, and single-handedly set for the then founding emperor Fan Huze. The first princess of Anjun, An Jieyu, is the mother of the founding emperor Fan Huize. Fan Huize is also a filial son, and he only obeys his mother's orders, so under the strong leadership of Fan Huize, he was set as a family rule by the Fan clan. However, rules are rules, and there are many emperors who do not abide by them. There is Emperor Changping who has been drafted after sixty, and there is also Emperor Longqing who has been selected once and has never picked a woman again.

The background investigation of the entire draft staff, in accordance with the clan rules of the Fan clan, was completed by Ti Qi independently. Therefore, the people below who want to do their hands and feet must weigh it to see if they have the ability to hide from the pervasive Tiqi and send unqualified women to the election. Once it is found out, when the crime of bullying the king is punished, it will not be copied and beheaded, but it is certain that the whole door will be corrupted.

In the years of the Great Qi Dynasty, the wealth is moving, and it is not without people who think they are smart and do their hands. However, without exception, they were all found out by Tiqi, and several nobles were deprived of their knighthoods and entered into lowly status, and they were not allowed to redeem themselves for several generations.

And the Great Qi Dynasty has never had a draft since the year of Emperor Longqing. The high-ranking officials and nobles of the Great Qi Dynasty had just recovered from the bloody palace coup five years ago, and they were still apprehensive about the current peaceful days, so they were dizzy by the news of the "draft" that was suddenly issued, and the city was talking about the draft for a while.

The imperial court soon issued a decree announcing the terms of the draft. Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongxuan personally raised the conditions for the draft. In the past, it was a civil official or above, and a noble earl or above was acceptable. This time, it was changed to a civil official of the third rank or above, and the nobles had to be a marquis or above to be eligible to run for election.

In the official rank system of the Great Qi Dynasty, the three-rank senior member was a watershed. There are many officials below the third grade, including many idle positions. However, the third rank and above are all high-powered officials, or retired officials who are still influential in the court, and there are very few.

As soon as this order was issued, the number of concubines over the age of 15 who were eligible to run for election immediately decreased by more than half. And there are not many high-ranking concubines who have not yet decided to marry at the age of fifteen, but fortunately, they can withdraw from marriage, so among the high-ranking concubines who are qualified for candidacy, there are many who have recently withdrawn from marriage. There are also a few families who feel sorry for their daughters and don't want to exchange their daughter's life for that rich future, so they hurriedly look for a candidate to marry their daughter within half a year.

The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion first got the news that the queen was punished to kneel in the temple, and then heard that the Holy Lord issued an edict and drafted a large-scale draft. These two pieces of news came one after another, knocking everyone in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion unconscious. - These two girls Chu Zhongyu haven't been sent to the Anjun Palace, don't fold the queen in first!

Mrs. Tai was in a hurry, so she called Chu Zhongyu over and scolded her first. I heard the boss Chu Huajin say that this matter was an excerpt from Mrs. Pei, and he called Pei Shufen to scold her, saying that she had a good idea, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot? ——In the past, the queen only had to deal with the imperial concubine alone, but now she has to deal with dozens of young and beautiful foxes!

Pei Shufen was full of grievances, how could she think that her mother's family would also come to make trouble for herself at this time? I wanted to go back and question my father, but I didn't have enough confidence, so I had to endure it.

Because Mrs. Tai was about to scold her when she saw the sky, Pei Shufen complained to him aggrievedly when Chu Hua came to rest that night: "Holy Chosen Concubine, what does it matter to me?" Why do you blame me? ”

Chu Huajin frowned and comforted her: "Mother is just anxious for a while, worried about the queen's mother." You just don't take it to heart. After saying this, Chu Hua got up and wanted to go out.

Chu Hua has been out for two years, and he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day, and his knowledge has grown a lot. This sudden draft made him keenly aware that there seemed to be something different inside.

He has been busy outside these days, and he is in a fog to find out the causes and consequences of this draft. King Anjun has long been hiding far away, and with his style of acting, it is not like his handwriting. But if this matter has nothing to do with him, Chu Huajin has some doubts: he always feels that the timing is too coincidental......

However, he used all his personal relationships, and only found out that his father-in-law Pei Lixing did it, and his heart was even more empty: Could it be that his father-in-law knew about Shu Fan......?

Chu Hua thought about it again and again, and ruled out this possibility. Shu Fan's death had nothing to do with himself, and what he had been tested by the imperial physician at that time was a death from illness, not an accidental death. Besides, the Pei family also has a daughter who is married in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and the father-in-law will not take Pei Shufen to heart at all.

Pei Shufen was a little anxious when she saw Chu Hua's serious and important appearance, so she quickly pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed and talk about her heart. Pei Shufen wanted to help him share some of the burden, so he thought about it and comforted Chu Huajin and said, "Master Hou doesn't have to worry about it. It was a surprise, but it didn't do us any good. ”

"What's in it for you?" Chu Huajin raised his head and asked. He really couldn't think of any benefit to his family.

Pei Shufen smiled lightly: "Now that we want to be drafted, we can also send people in." In the eyes of the concubine, sending the second sister to the palace is much better than sending the second sister to the Anjun palace as a side concubine. "With Chu Zhongyu's talent, it is only a matter of time before he enters the palace and gives birth to a prince. The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion will be double insurance at that time, what else is there to worry about?

Chu Huajin had been restless in his heart, but after listening to Pei Shufen's words, he smiled and said, "You have been messing around in the inner courtyard all day long, and your knowledge is shallow, so you are not as far away as your eldest sister." He shook his head and sighed, "If Shu Fan is here, she will definitely be able to resolve today's matter satisfactorily." - Why do you want me to run around outside and stick hot faces to people's cold butts?! ”

Pei Shufen was said by an ancient person that she was "shallow", and she couldn't help but be angry, and slandered: You are shallow in your knowledge! Your whole family is shallow!

However, if she was slandered and given three more guts, she didn't dare to argue with Chu Hua head-on, so she had to endure her anger again, and smiled kindly: "Hou Ye is eloquent, which can we compare with the women in the backyard?" - Even if my sister is reincarnated, she can't compare to Hou Ye's. Such a flattery of Chu Hua was cautious.

Although Chu Hua regrets that Pei Shufen does not have the talent of her eldest sister Pei Shufan, she is far inferior to her eldest sister in terms of being diligent, knowing cold and hot, and discussing everything. Thinking about it, the flowers are impermanent, and the moon is impermanent, and he is also in danger of seeking perfection......

Chu Huajin sighed, looked at Pei Shufen's delicate little face, the towering and soft pair of jade rabbits, couldn't help but hugged her and sat on his lap, caressed her little face with one hand, covered her towering delicacy with the other, kissed and caressed, and panted in her ear: "Daqi draft, in the same family, only one daughter can enter the palace...... As long as the queen is in the palace, our family cannot run......"

Pei Shufen was rubbed by Chu Huajin and her whole body was hot, and she also leaned on his arms, twisted slightly, and deliberately rubbed Chu Huajin's important place twice. Chu Huajin immediately turned over and pressed her under him, hurriedly took out his baby out, pulled Pei Shufen's skirt, and was about to push it in.

Pei Shufen screamed, and hurriedly used his hand to block it, but Chu Hua had already held his hands on top of his head, and the bottom had already been brought in. The inside has not yet been lubricated, and there is still a little pain, but he can only endure it, and he is happy below, constantly calling "Hou Ye", which makes Chu Huajin more and more moved.

After a while, the clouds dispersed and the rain fell, Pei Shufen cleaned Chu Huajin, called hot water again, and went to the clean room to freshen up again.

When she came out, she found that Chu Huajin was missing.

"Tongyue, where did Master Hou go?" Pei Shufen called his dowry maid in and asked.

Kiritsu had been staying in the house outside just now, and she had long been numb to the sound of clouds and rain that could occur in the house at any time and anywhere.

Hearing Mrs. ask, Tong Yue curtched her knees and replied: "Just now, someone came to Aunt Fang's yard, saying that Aunt Fang was a little unwell, and Master Hou asked someone to invite a doctor." ”

"It was Master Hou who asked him to ask for a doctor, and it wasn't Master Hou who asked for a doctor! - Where is Master Hou? Pei Shufen asked coldly. Anyone who has just made love to his own man will not feel good when he turns around and finds that the man is running for another woman.

Tong Yue replied respectfully: "Master Hou said that he didn't worry about Aunt Fang, and he wanted to go over and see for himself." Hou Ye also left a message...... "I glanced at Pei Shufen and didn't dare to say it."

Pei Shufen felt that she was going to endure internal injuries, but she couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't bear it again, she couldn't fall short at this time, and ruined the good reputation she had worked hard for so long.

"Say, what did Master Hou leave behind?" Pei Shufen walked to the side of the kang, leaned on the big pillow, and his face returned to calm.

Tong Yue lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Master Hou said, let Madame stop waiting for him, let's rest first." Master Hou is here today, and he is resting at Aunt Fang's place......"

Pei Shufen tightly grasped the corner of the big pillow on the kang in his hand, twisted it into a ball, and the tendons in his hands burst up, but he still calmly commanded: "Make the bed for me, I'm going to rest." ”

Tong Yue answered, took down the things on the bed in the past, took out a new set of bedding from the cabinet and spread it, and came back and said to Pei Shufen: "Madam, it's all laid out." ”

Pei Shufen said "um", got up from the kang, and went to lie on the bed.

Kiritsu dimmed the table lamp on the side and moved it to the foot of the wall. He turned around and hugged the soiled futon again, and walked backwards out of Pei Shufen's bedroom.

Pei Shufen tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and finally remembered that Hou Ye went to Aunt Fang this time, but it was Aunt Fang who broke the rules. The first half month was supposed to be the day of his wife. In the past two years, Aunt Fang has acted without leakage, and she has tried several times, but she can't catch her. I have endured it for so long, and finally Aunt Fang is used to not knowing the sky, and I think that this time, I can clean her up justifiably. - What if you can't take Hou Ye, can't you still deal with a concubine who has broken the rules?!

Early the next morning, after Pei Shufen freshened up, she went to ask Mrs. Tai for peace, but saw that Chu Huajin was already sitting at Mrs. Tai's place, looking radiant, as if she had won the jackpot.

ps: Remind me that Zongrenfu was first created by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty followed the Ming system. Don't think of the Braided Dynasty when you see the Zongren Mansion. The background of the court in this article is mainly the Ming Dynasty, but the harem system of the Ming Dynasty is too cheating, so I asked Xiao An in "Yanshui Cold" to come out and drastically change the harem system of the Great Qi Dynasty. The harem system in this article is overhead, and the court is a Ming system. In addition, the overhead background of "Smoke and Water Cold" is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
