"Then the widow will take a concubine!" Ma Xisheng, who said that he was in mourning a second ago, immediately changed his words.

People are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and he is really not ambiguous at all.

Concubine Yuan Defei was not surprised by his "repentance", she took out a list from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Ma Xisheng: "This is the shortlist, the king will pick four of them first!" ”

Ma Xisheng looked at Concubine Yuan Desheng in astonishment, and did not stretch out his hand, obviously he didn't expect that the concubine had already prepared the list.

"Don't worry, the people on this list are all daughters of pro-army generals, and their looks and posture are excellent."

"Pro-army?" Ma Xi was displeased when he heard this: "Is the mother concubine confused? These clan relatives control the army one by one and don't let go, and I dare to accept their daughters as concubines? ”

Concubine Yuan Defei smiled and said, "Only when the king becomes a family with them can he get back his military power?" ”

Ma Xisheng looked at Concubine Yuan De suspiciously, as if he couldn't judge the truth of what he said, and paused there.

"If the king doesn't give them a reassurance, how can they give up the power of the army?" Seeing this, Concubine Yuan could only speak more clearly.

Ma Xisheng nodded in a trance: "Oh, that's the case, then ...... this person chooses"

"I think the first four are good!" Concubine Yuan Defei happily opened the list in her hand and wanted to introduce them with great interest: "They are ......"

At this time, Ma Xisheng grabbed the list and said indifferently: "Okay, then the first four!" As he spoke, he waved to the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch who started the first was called Changfu, and he was a big celebrity among these little eunuchs, who was usually clever and discerning, and immediately stepped forward when he saw this: "King." ”

Ma Xisheng handed the list directly to Changfu without looking at it: "Take it to the right prime minister and tell him that he wants to accept the first four as concubines, and let him arrange the draft edict to be read by the court tomorrow." ”

Such a hasty choice made Concubine Yuan Defei's eyebrows tremble a few times, and Changfu had already obediently taken the list and left quickly.

"That'...... I won't disturb the king's Yaxing of enjoying the flowers. Concubine Yuan understood that it was meaningless for her to stay here, so she said goodbye with interest.

"Congratulations to the mother." Ma Xisheng bowed slightly, his eyes already glancing at the weeds.

When Concubine Yuan Defei left the garden completely with Danqing, he rolled up his sleeves and summoned a group of little eunuchs to drill into the mud without any image: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Flip that big guy out! ”

……

Zhao Jichang sat on the chair and stretched out his hand, and the eunuch Changfu, who was kneeling beside him, immediately handed over the list in his hand.

Zhao Jichang opened the list, looked at it, and his voice was lazy: "Are you sure it's the first four?" ”

"Sure, they are all sponsored by Concubine De, and the king explained clearly, he wants to set up the first four as concubines, and he also said that the edict will be read in the court tomorrow."

Zhao Jichang closed the list, his eyes were thoughtful, and he murmured softly: "She is not ambiguous." ”

Hearing this, Changfu knelt down and moved two steps forward, lowered his voice and said, "Godfather, this is a good opportunity for you!" ”

Zhao Jichang glanced at him and rubbed his fingers: "Whether it's an opportunity or not, you have to find out the bottom to know." ”

……

In the garden covered bridge, Concubine Yuan Defei and Danqing walked forward slowly.

"Mother." Danqing's expression was full of worry: "If you decide not to inform Gonggong Zhao in advance, will there be trouble?" ”

Concubine Yuan Defei paused, then turned her head to look at the pond under the covered bridge, thought for a moment, walked to the railing and stood still, and then said, "Danqing, can you catch the fish in this pond?" ”

Danqing looked at the fish swimming in the water and blinked: "If you catch it with your bare hands, the slave and maid are afraid that they can't catch it, but if you use bait to lure them, when they grab food, you can catch them if you want to." ”

"Isn't that the end of it?" Concubine Yuan Defei sneered: "Gonggong Zhao wants to eat fish, so I will help him cast the bait, why should he trouble me?" ”

Danqing was stunned when she heard this, and at this time she also noticed that Zhao Jichang was hurriedly walking towards the covered bridge, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, Zhao Gonggong is here." ”

Concubine Yuan stood still and continued to look at the fish in the pond, obviously prepared for his arrival.

"The old slave greets the mother." Zhao Jichang came to the front and immediately turned around and saluted.

Concubine Yuan Defei looked at the fish in the pond and said softly, "My father-in-law got the news, don't go to work, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Jichang blinked, smiled and said nothing.

Concubine Yuan didn't hear the reply, she turned her head to look at Zhao Jichang, waved her hand, and Danqing immediately retreated into the distance.

As soon as she retreated, Concubine Yuan Defei's expression suddenly became cold: "I have already done what I should do, don't take an inch." ”

"What the master wants is to hold the military power in the hands of the king, what do you mean by making this concubine?"

"Seize the right to the army."

"The candidate concubines are all the daughters of the clan, how to seize the military power? This is obviously a solid pro-military position! ”

Concubine Yuan Defei did not refute, but nodded and said: "That's right, if this thing is done, it will be a stable pro-army, but what if the king goes back on his word?" ”

Zhao Jichang's eyes shrank: "You want me to be a villain?" ”

"In a play, there are always people who sing white faces, I am the king's mother, there are some things I do, which is not appropriate."

The words are also clear.

Zhao Jichang stared at Concubine Yuan Defei for a few seconds, then bowed and said, "Understood, farewell." ”

After Zhao Jichang finished speaking, he turned around and left, Concubine Yuan Defei looked at the back of Zhao Jichang leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, Zhao Jichang suddenly turned around and walked quickly to her side: "The old slave wants to ask Niangniang for a little favor first." ”

……

The sun rises to the end of the day, but in the blink of an eye.

Hua Rou, who was supposed to rest, held the codex and was fascinated by it, without the slightest intention of resting.

"Knock" There was a knock on the door of the house, and Hua Rou seemed to wake up, and put the codex down and put it on the table: "Come in!" ”

It was Mu Junwu, he was worried about Hua Rou's situation, and he entered with a food box, with a concerned face: "It's evening, eat something, you've slept all day......" Halfway through the words, he saw the codex buckled on the table, and raised his eyebrows: "Have you not slept all the time?" ”

"Well, Master put her codex in my baggage, and I was so fascinated by it that I couldn't imagine that it would be at this time."

Hearing this, Mu Junwu hurriedly put the food box on the table, and said softly while taking the food: "You let you rest, but you don't rest, come over and eat something, your body is important." ”

Hua Rou obediently came to Mu Junwu's side, watched him take the food and said, "Aren't you curious about what I saw?" ”

"I'm curious, but I'll have to wait for you to tell me." Mu Junwu put the bowl in front of Hua Rou and handed over the chopsticks.

Hua Rou took the chopsticks and sat at the table, and said cautiously: "Junwu, in your eyes, what kind of person is my master?" ”

"It's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and there is great love in the heart."

Hua Rou blinked: "Yes, but she used to be a ...... Villain. ”

Mu Junwu raised his eyebrows and was stunned, and Hua Rou hurriedly said when she saw this: "I'm surprised, right?" I can't imagine that Master used to ...... Murderous like hemp. ”
