Chapter 4 The Election of the Queen, the Conflict of Clan Interests

When Wanrong sat in front of the camera, the original shyness quietly disappeared, followed by a high-end and atmospheric atmosphere that filled the entire space.

The sprout of the girl's feelings slowly rippled in Wanrong's heart like this.

Every day, every night, she is embroidered with red roses and white roses pillow scarf, she always thinks that at the beginning, one of the great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Zhaolin, wrote in "The Ancient Meaning of Chang'an": I wish to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortals.

In the midst of reverie, Eniang walked in with a smile.

"Gege, if you are satisfied with your photo, I can send someone to the Forbidden City Internal Affairs Office." Hengxin said with a smile.

Wanrong took the photo and looked at it for a long time, and her focused expression was like looking at her favorite rose. A little shy, a little expectant, and a little eager, she chose one of the twenty photos and handed it to Eniang.

"And this one?" Eniang looked at Wanrong with a peachy face and asked in a friendly whisper.

Wanrong nodded heavily.

The year was 1921, and it was the most critical year for Wanrong to change her life. During this year, the Communist Party of China was formally founded, Mongolia declared its independence from China, Sun Yat-sen became the extraordinary president of the Republic of China in Guangzhou, and ordered a crusade against the Gui warlords, a strike was held in Wuchang on the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and a strike was held by the workers of the Anglo-American Tobacco Factory in Shanghai......

Everything in the outside world seems to have nothing to do with the deep grace of the courtyard, every day, countless roses will be embroidered in the silk handkerchief, and the imagination of the emperor will be like when he sees his photo, the shyness of his face, the anxiety of his face, and all the emotions will affect this aristocratic girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

The photo was submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, Rong Yuan went in and out every day, running around for his daughter's selection by the emperor. Rong Yuan clearly knew that the emperor's election was not only a matter for him to take a look at, but also involved the power of the harem, but a post-election event exuded the smell of gunpowder and was permeating the entire Forbidden City.

Of course, Wanrong didn't know who was the queen in that Forbidden City. She was just dreaming about the first time she could meet the emperor at night when she couldn't sleep.

Emperor Tongzhi's Jingyi Imperial Concubine Hesheli and Emperor Guangxu's Duankang Imperial Concubine Tatara were busy for Puyi's marriage, from secret fighting to open disputes, and pulled cronies everywhere to lobby.

Erdet Duangong's daughter Erdet Wenxiu is a knowledgeable, elegant appearance, between the eyebrows there is Kuang Fu my ancestral husband of the auspicious face, her grandfather is also a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, a lifetime for the Qing Dynasty conscientious, Wenxiu is the best post-elector. She has the supreme appearance of a queen, as well as the knowledge, culture and morality that a queen should have. Imperial Concubine Jingyi gently persuaded Pu Yi, who came to ask for peace.

Since Pu Yi left his biological mother at the age of three, he has been close to this imperial lady in the palace and has a sense of blood connection with her.

"Gege, who can please the emperor's mother, will definitely be satisfactory to me." Pu Yi's answer made Imperial Concubine Jingyi smile with great satisfaction.

Today's harem is Yuan Shikai designated by Duankang Emperor Concubine to preside, of course she wants the queen to be her candidate, everything in the harem will be presided over by the queen in the future, and she will naturally be prosperous, this queen candidate must be her favorite candidate.

Of course, she cares most about the future queen's family background, knowledge, and appearance.

In the past few days, people from the Erdet family have frequently come to see Emperor Jingyi's concubine, just to persuade her to persuade the emperor to determine the final candidate. Everyone knows that the abdicated emperor Pu Yi listens to her the most.

Imperial Concubine Jingyi was originally quite dissatisfied with the dignified imperial concubine presiding over the harem, and this time she chose the future queen, she thought that she would be better than the dignified imperial concubine, because the emperor Puyi listened to her the most and was closest to her since she was a child.

"Sure!" Imperial Concubine Jingyi said very proudly to Hua Kan, the fifth uncle of Wenxiu who came to visit.

The dignified imperial concubine remained more silent, because she knew that even the emperor would never rush to ignore her existence, she had presided over the harem for many years, and she had considerable connections inside and outside the palace, and the most important thing was that only the best Manchu aristocratic girls could be selected as queens, this was her fundamental one, and no matter how many people came to say all the flattering words in her ear.

From the year 1920 to the beginning of 1922, the Forbidden City was busy with the selection of the empress and concubine for the emperor who had abdicated the throne and only the name of the emperor to meet with people from all over the world.

Finally, it was rumored that Pu Yi chose Erdet Wenxiu as the queen, but the dignified imperial concubine insisted that the emperor choose Guo Buluo Wanrong, who had the best family background, knowledge and appearance. Who is the queen, it is rumored that it is the dignified imperial concubine who made a big fuss, and it is said that Pu Yi agreed with a secret smile. Pu Yi at least did not offend the imperial concubine Jingyi, who was closest to him, after the election.
