The concubine in Yongfu Palace is very busy, because the draft is about to start, she is responsible for arranging the size of the harem, there are not many things, but it is very complicated, everything has to be comprehensive, and it is inevitable that she will be physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, his son Li You, the king of Qi, is an adult and can help him share some things.

Li You went to the Yamen on an errand and hurried to Yongfu Palace to help, but before he could walk in, he was dragged away.

Li You, who didn't understand what was going on, thought that it was the eunuch in the palace who was joking with himself and just wanted to have a seizure, but he only heard the man: "Fifth brother, what are you busy with every day!" I miss you so much because I can't see you all day! ”

Li You came back to his senses and saw the man's face before he laughed: "It turned out to be the eighth brother!" Who should I be in the palace to be so unruly, you must know that this place is no better than other places, if those old ministers see it, they should babble what kind of system it is! ”

Li Zhen looked at Li Youxue's appearance and was a little funny, but she still froze: "How can it be so serious as you say, besides, what rules do we need for our brothers to meet!" Those old ministers can't control the two of us, and besides, what are the rules, I still rode on your back to pee when I was a child! If you investigate it now, you will be killed! ”

"You're still so childish!" Li You said to Li Zhen suspiciously: "By the way, you didn't come to me today to tell me about peeing and mud when you were a child!" Is there something else you want me to do? ”

Li Zhen saw that Li You was a little embarrassed to say it in his heart, and the embarrassment on his face was undoubtedly revealed: "No, no, it's not like this, me!" I was thinking that the fifth brother you are busy with official business all day long, among the many sons of the father, only the two of us are the closest, and we can play together, I heard that you are back, I will come to see you non-stop, among the many brothers, only the eighth brother can do this! ”

Li Zhen and Li You are good brothers who grew up since childhood, and the two of them are indeed very close, so when Li Zhen said this, Li You was full of disbelief, because he knew too well what his brother was thinking.

"Forget it, you don't have to pat my ass, it's not good at all, if you have something, just say that if it's okay, I'll go to Yongfu Palace, Niangniang is quite busy over there!"

Li You pretended to leave, but Li Zhen hurriedly stopped him.

"Fifth brother, don't hide it, I really have a request for you, can you listen to me!"

"Okay, you say, I'll listen to you!" Li You's joking look is worth playing, he thought to himself, I want to see what you can say.

"I heard that Concubine Yin has the roster of this year's show girl in her hand, can you do me a small favor, as long as you nod your head, this matter will be successful, otherwise I will be sad for the rest of my life!"

"Do you want to ......" Li You said thoughtfully: "Do you fall in love with the show girl in this year's draft and want to compete with your father for a woman?" ”

Li You buttoned such a big hat to Li Zhen, you must know that this is a heinous crime that is enough to make Li Zhen lose his head, so he hurriedly explained.

"Fifth brother, you can't make this joke, where do I dare to do such a rebellious thing, but I know that there are two rosters in the draft in previous years, one is to choose a concubine for my father, and the other is to enrich the palace maids, I know a girl who wants to come to the palace to be a maidservant, and the family has no money and will not be able to bribe the palace people and will be arranged to do drudgery, you can see if you can raise your hand and arrange it when the time comes, don't let her be so tired!"

After listening to Li Zhen's explanation, Li You suddenly realized and said in surprise: "It turns out that your kid has opened up and liked girls, so I will say that you don't want to introduce you to the young lady of the princely and noble family, it turns out that you have an idea in your heart!" Talk, what does a girl look like, if it's a beautiful girl, I'll do a good thing, if it's an ugly bastard, then I'll have to think about it! ”

Originally, Li You was already very embarrassed for Li Zhen when he forced Li Zhen to tell the truth, and now he has to describe in detail how his face turned red as an apple.

Seeing that Li Zhen was almost about to cry, Li You didn't plan to continue teasing him, and his words turned serious.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you with this favor, let's talk about it, what's her name, where is she, and where is she arranged?"

"His surname is Wu, and he is a person from Wenshui, if he can, he will arrange her to be next to my mother, so that I can see that she is not every day"

"So you're such an infatuated person!" Li You smiled and said: "Okay, yes, I'll help you with this favor, it's not my future brother and sister, but how do you thank me after the matter is done!" ”

Li Zhen blushed and said ashamedly: "If this matter can be done, my younger brother is willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for his brother, and he will not hesitate to be a cow and a horse!" ”

Li You could see that Li Zhen was serious, and he didn't see much joke on his face, and it was rare for Li Zhen to be so serious since he was a child, Li You stopped joking, and the two talked again, Li Zhen said goodbye to Li You and went out of the palace.

When I came to the Yongfu Palace of my mother Concubine Yin, the palace was already in a mess, and even Li You forgot to respond to Concubine Yin's greeting, Li You got up and asked Concubine Yin: "Mother, what are you looking for!" Say it, You'er will help you find it."

Concubine Yin didn't have time to stop to answer Li You's words, but said anxiously while looking for it: "These subordinates are not at all dedicated, I explained such a big thing clearly in the first month, and told them not to go wrong, and they all agreed, but now when the good thing comes, I can't find anything, my roster of palace maids can't be found, what should I do if I start in a while!" ”

"The roster of palace maids?" Li You lowered his head and looked at the booklet at his feet, which was densely written with people's names written on it, he bent down to pick it up and handed it to Concubine Yin: "Mother, this is what you are looking for!" ”

Seeing that the booklet was lost and recovered, Concubine Yin was so happy that Li You asked incomprehensibly: "This is obviously a thankless thing, and if you do it well, it can only be said that the queen mother is well-led, and if you don't do it well, it will put the mess on your head, why are you so happy!" ”

Concubine Yin put away her smile and said earnestly: "You'er, you are the fifth son of Your Majesty, just the king of Qi, and the position of the crown prince is still far away, people say that people go to high places and water flows to low places, I think you must be unwilling to be the king of Qi Just like I am unwilling to be a concubine, if you want to get better development in the harem, you need to use the opportunity of the draft to find people who can ally with you and me, and maintain the relationship between all levels in the harem. Soon new interest groups will be formed, and what we have to do is to seize the opportunity before new interest groups are formed, otherwise everything will be lost! ”

Hearing his mother's generous statement, Li You couldn't help but praise in his heart: Jiang is really still old and spicy, if I had half of my mother's mind, the position of prince would have been mine a long time ago, but it's a pity that I am still too young before I am deeply involved in the world.

"Mother's meaning You'er probably understands, but You'er still wants to know what her mother's next plan is to do, so You'er can help her mother."

Concubine Yin took the roster of show girls and cautiously said to Li You: "If we want to find it, we will find the gate valve of the scholar clan, they have no chance of rising in their careers, but the influence of their power in the people should not be underestimated, just imagine if they climb up to them, who would dare to underestimate us, after all, who doesn't want to get closer to the five surnames and Qiwang to improve their influence!" ”

Concubine Yin pointed out on the roster and circled Li You who could be allianced, and who were resolutely not allowed to enter the palace, Li You also saw the woman surnamed Wu that Li Zhen said on the roster, Li You asked Concubine Yin if she could enter the palace, Concubine Yin said that she checked this person's background and it didn't matter if there was no threat, Li You just sighed and didn't say anything, but he already had a plan in his heart at this time.

When the roster was turned to the ordinary, Cai Yi's name appeared in front of Concubine Yin's eyes, which made Concubine Yin shudder after seeing it.

"Gao is the daughter of the mountain is resolutely not allowed to enter the palace, the power of the Gao family is complicated, if you use it well, it is a live move, if you don't use it well, you will get into trouble, besides, the old guy of Gao is mountain will not cooperate with us, his neck is very hard"

"What does Mother mean?" Li You asked suspiciously.

"You'er, I want you to stop Gao Caiyi from entering the palace, no matter what means you use, you must stop it," Concubine Yin swore an oath.

"You'er understands, please rest assured mother"

Looking at the back of Li You leaving, Concubine Yin sighed and said, "You'er!" Mother did all this for you, I don't know if you can understand the hard work of being a mother.

That day

Ji Yanli rushed out from home and went straight to the Gao family, in fact, the distance from the Ji Mansion to the Gao family was not very far, but today is the day of the draft, and it is a big deal for Gao Taiwei to send his daughter into the palace, especially Gao Taiwei's special identity has already sent heavy troops within a radius of dozens of miles to prevent accidents, and Ji Yanli naturally can't enter the Gao family, and even the alleys that he often walks can't enter.

Just when Ji Yanli didn't know what to do, his eyes suddenly saw a pile of dirty clothes in the corner not far away, and the beggars who usually begged here may have been kicked out because of today's special day.

Looking at this pile of dirty clothes, Ji Yanli suddenly had a plan, he pretended to beg for food and entered the Gao family to say a few auspicious words, not only could not arouse the suspicion of others, but could also receive a reward, and he could also contact Caiyi to kill two birds with one stone.

Just when Ji Yanli felt that his plan was seamless, someone next to him suddenly grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "It was sent by His Royal Highness the Five, right?" Take this knife well, and when you see my eyes, you must not act rashly, otherwise it will be in vain."

Ji Yanli turned his head and found that the person who spoke was wearing a beggar's clothes with himself, he thought it was a madman and was just about to push him away, suddenly, Ji Yanli's eyes glanced at this person's waist, and there was a sign on his waist that said Beiya Shence.

Beiya is a forbidden army, and Shence is the direct jurisdiction of the forbidden army to protect the emperor, even stupid people know what happened when they came to the Gao family in disguise.

Ji Yanli agreed to his request on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about what he could do to sabotage their plan?

Just as he was thinking, Cai Yi walked out of the gate and was supported by the maid and sat in the sedan chair, while the surrounding people in beggar clothes drew knives and were ready to make a move.

At this critical moment, Ji Yanli shouted at Captain Gao and walked over and shouted: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Captain Gao"

Gao Taiwei thought it was a troublemaker, and called Hanako wanted to send him away, but he didn't want to be grabbed by him, he glanced at Huazi with excitement, and said in a low voice in confusion: "Ji is tired of leaving!" Why are you here? ”

Ji Yanli replied in a low voice: "Don't listen to me, someone is going to kill you now, if you want to live, do as I say!" ”
