Chapter 374: How to Break the Deadlock?

The Queen Mother wants to draft for Emperor Jingxing to fill the harem and extend the national glory. This matter came out after the Queen Mother summoned Zong Zhengqing Shangguan Tang and Wei Jindu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It's not something secret, there's no need to hide it, and you can't hide it. When they heard the news, the women in Emperor Jingxing's harem reacted differently.

Queen Zuo was still recuperating in Kunning Palace because of the miscarriage, and when she heard the news at first glance, she was still a little stunned, and then, her eyes were moist, and her face was extremely sad.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, the harem will definitely be new, and she, as the master of the harem, certainly knows this. It's just that not long after she was born, her body is still about to be raised, and now the harem is about to be drafted. How can she be embarrassed, is she in the current situation? But if she can eat salted fish and be thirsty, since she has entered Kunning Palace, she has to accept these with a smile.

"Chunxi, the nourishing soup in the imperial dining room is served densely, and the palace must take care of the body as soon as possible." The tears in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Zuo's face became dignified again.

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine Ya listened to the advice of the palace maid Xiangqiao, and the shallow smile that had been hanging also paused, and asked again: "Draft?" ”

"Yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager has summoned the officials of Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites. Dao is to start preparing now, as soon as the emperor's three-month filial piety period expires, these girls can enter the palace. Xiangqiao replied, without further words.

Seeing that Concubine Ya was silent, Xiangqiao tentatively asked a sentence: "Master, this matter ...... Do you want to tell them to stop it? "Concubine Ya looks like this, she can't tell what this means.

Deter? How to stop it? The new emperor ascended the throne and filled the harem, this is a matter of course, and it can't be stopped there. She had been mentally prepared for this matter, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, those delicate newcomers, once they entered the harem, the emperor's time to stay in Yonghe Palace would definitely be less.

Concubine Ya knows that no matter how beautiful her face is, there will always be a time when she is tired of looking at it, and freshness is the most important thing. Besides, the show girl who can be selected must not be bad. Thinking that these newcomers were about to enter the palace, Concubine Ya's brows frowned.

"Master, please rest assured...... Those vulgar fans are definitely not as good as the master's. Seeing Concubine Ya frowning, Xiangqiao said comfortingly. Concubine Ya's appearance, no matter how many newcomers come in the palace, she will definitely not be able to be suppressed.

Hearing Xiangqiao's words, Concubine Ya smiled, and her face without makeup looked out of the ordinary. In this harem, color is very important, but definitely not the most important. Otherwise, why not the concubine Mu who lives in Shouning Palace now in the harem?

Fortunately, in this harem, I rely on not only this look, but also this little wave. Thinking of this, Concubine Ya laughed, and the worries in her heart were gently put down.

She didn't expect that in the harem, there was another big wave waiting for her.

"The slave has seen Lord Shen." Outside the Zichen Palace, Tang Mi, the leader of the inner chamberlain, saw Shen Yuxian, stopped, and said so. He was followed by several small chamberlains, who also lowered their heads and saluted Shen Yuxian.

"Leader Tang has broken down. In terms of grade, the lower officials should want to salute the Tang chief. In the future, I will be on an errand in Zichen Palace, and I will ask the Tang leader to mention more. Shen Yuxian said with a smile.

After Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne, Shen Yuxian and Wei Zhen, the four princes, were also promoted. Less than a month after they took office as the crown prince, they had already been promoted to higher positions, setting a record for the speed of promotion of Dayong officials, which made other court officials envious, jealous and hateful.

Now, Shen Yuxian and Wei Zhen have been transferred to the palace province and appointed to the position of Wupin Palace; Zuo Yan and Bian Huyi, on the other hand, served in Zhongshu Province and were the scholars of the Zhengwupin, one level higher than Shen and Wei. This is because they have followed Emperor Jingxing to serve the sick and have meritorious service, and it is also normal to be one level higher.

Shen Yuxian has been serving in Dianzhong Province for a while, and he usually has many opportunities to meet Tang Mi. It was a common thing for the two of them to say hello outside the gate of Zichen Palace, and the few little attendants who were always following Tang Mi knew about it.

Shen Yuxian saw Tang Mi cross his fingers, and the smile on his face deepened. He nodded, looked at the little chamberlains who were still with their heads down, and then replied with his fingers crossed.

In Shouning Palace, Shuzhi looked at the Empress Dowager Rong, wanting to speak and stopping, looking quite hesitant.

"Shuzhi, if you have anything, just say it." Empress Dowager Rong stopped looking at the portraits of the officials and girls of various families, and then asked.

"The slave heard a piece of news in the past two days, and I don't know if I should say it or not......" After listening to Empress Dowager Rong's question, Shuzhi's tone was uncertain.

"You have been with the mourning family for a year or two, what should you say or not? Anyway, the mourners listened. What's the news? Empress Dowager Rong's face remained unchanged, but she was a little curious in her heart. Shuzhi is the old man next to her, what is the news that makes her so embarrassed?

"Slave maid...... The slave maid heard the rumor that the palace maid in the palace was waiting next to Princess Yong in the Chonghua Palace that day, and she had been in and out of Yonghe Palace...... Many palace maids have seen it. Shuzhi hesitated to say what he heard.

Although the queen had a miscarriage for a while, Empress Dowager Rong has always remembered this matter, and she also sent Shuzhi to investigate this matter, just to see who is behind it.

But after the marriage, the rod killed the people in the Chonghua Palace, and I thought that the clue was broken. I didn't expect to have a clue now. The news that Shuzhi heard was also related to Emperor Jingxing's favorite concubine!

"Yonghe Palace? Can you find it out? Concubine Ya has been in the limelight too much recently, will this be someone else's game? Listening to Shuzhi's words, Empress Dowager Rong frowned and said. The news came suddenly, and she felt strange.

The slave thought the same thing. So I went to check it out. The news...... It was originally spread from the Yonghe Palace, and I heard that it was a rough palace maid who accidentally said that she leaked her mouth. Shuzhi replied, such a rumor, it is most difficult to determine its authenticity, and it can be found that the source is in Yonghe Palace, and Shuzhi has tried his best.

When the slave maid followed this rough palace maid to investigate, she found that ......" Shuzhi felt that her throat was dry, and she didn't know how to say it.

"Discover what? Thin branches, there is something to say at one time. The mourning family is tired. Hearing the repeated pauses, Empress Dowager Rong was slightly displeased. Shuzhi is not the first day to follow him, in the past has always been neat, why do you always miss half of your speech today!

But I found that under the white magnolia of Yonghe Palace, there were several puppets buried. The yellow sand cotton of the puppeteer is only available in Zhili, and the cloth issued by the young government supervisor to the palace does not have this kind of yellow sand cotton. The slave maid has also checked, there should be more than a few such objects, under the magnolia tree, there should be ......" Shuzhi said these words stiffly, and it was expected that the Empress Dowager Rong would not feel good when she heard this.

Sure enough, as soon as Shuzhi spoke, Empress Dowager Rong's face changed in shock! The witch Gu is disgusted, this is a harem that kills people in invisible objects, and if you touch it, you will die! In the harem, as long as it is involved in the crime of witchcraft, it is often the result of the death of all the palaces, from the master to the palace maid, no one can be spared!

Now, in the Yonghe Palace, there is such an object! Or the yellow sand cotton that only Naoli has! No matter what the truth is, as long as this thing appears in Yonghe Palace, for the sake of her own emperor and the safety of the harem, she, the queen mother, must not ignore this matter!

After checking this, it is no longer a problem of the queen's miscarriage! If you really find something like that in Yonghe Palace, then Concubine Ya, she will definitely not be able to stay!

"Give the mourning family a ride! No need to report, go to Yonghe Palace quickly! Considering that it was already the right time, Empress Dowager Rong instructed like this, and hurried to Yonghe Palace with Shuzhi and a group of palace maids!

"Queen Mother, what are you ......" Emperor Jingxing looked at the Empress Dowager Rong with an angry face cautiously, and didn't understand why she appeared in Yonghe Palace so late.

He happened to be staying in Yonghe Palace tonight. Concubine Ya was playing with him with a chess game with a small mind, when she suddenly heard a noisy sound from outside the palace.

He also said that which one was so bold that he was about to order to pull down and kill, but he didn't expect that it was the Empress Dowager Rong who was supposed to sleep in Shouning Palace who made such a noise!

Empress Dowager Rong took the palace maid to thin the branches, condensed her face, and ordered the palace maid to bring the red sandalwood carved chair, and sat down in the courtyard. Immediately, he commanded in a cold voice: "Dig for the mourning family!" Thin branches, you look closely! ”

After saying these words, Empress Dowager Rong didn't look at Emperor Jingxing and Concubine Ya, but only looked at the row of tall magnolia trees in Yonghe Palace, she wanted to see if there were really such dirty objects hidden under this fragrance!

Concubine Ya looked at Empress Dowager Rong like this, and she didn't know why, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and her hands and feet began to tremble. She tried to smile on her delicate face, but she couldn't raise the corners of her mouth.

Something must have happened! Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have appeared here at this time! What is it and how to avoid it! Endless fear welled up in Concubine Ya's heart, as if she felt that danger was pressing on her head.

When she saw Shuzhi with a few palace maids and maids with hoes and digging them up in Yonghe Palace, the ominous feeling in her heart was even worse! She didn't know what she could do!

She could only look at Emperor Jingxing delicately, and her pitiful appearance shocked Emperor Jingxing's heart.

"Queen Mother......" Emperor Jingxing continued to speak, but before he could say the following words, the Shuzhi over there exclaimed: "Ah! ”

She should have seen something terrifying, her tone was greatly frightened, and she couldn't help but scream like this, and the palace maids and chamberlains who were originally surrounded under the magnolia tree also made a commotion!

Empress Dowager Rong, Emperor Jingxing, and Concubine Ya all looked over there, not knowing what was going on.

Immediately, Shuzhi turned pale and sent the things dug under the magnolia tree to the Empress Dowager Rong. When Empress Dowager Rong and Emperor Jingxing saw clearly what it was, they couldn't help but exclaim.
