Chapter 309: Concubine Yu

When his thoughts turned back and forth, there was a light sound of the Xiangfei bamboo curtain, Huizhu retracted her mind, and her eyes swept towards the figure who came in a hurry as if she was lazy, and raised her tail slightly with a soft "um" to show her inquiry.

Xiao Ranzi heard the sound, and walked quickly to the bed of Luohan, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Yu Niangniang asks to see the master." Hearing this, the ivory fan in Huizhu's hand stopped slightly, and then the fan started again, and he didn't lift his eyelids and said, "Lead her in, and then go and prepare a few snacks to eat." Xiao Ranzi's "chirp" responded, and before he stepped back, Huizhu's heart moved slightly, and he stopped again: "Present the list of palace selections to the palace." ”

Before long, Geng followed Xiao Ranzi into the bright room of the main hall, and when she saluted and asked for peace, the palace people had already moved very quickly to put herbal tea, fruits, candied fruits and other snacks.

Huizhu held a blue-glazed high-footed plate on half of the stage, picked up a sour ginger and put it in his mouth, and suddenly the five flavors were excited, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help squinting and smiling, but he turned his face and saw Geng standing beside him, sighing in his heart, and at the same time smiling leisurely and cheeks, and said slowly: "At the time of the New Year's Festival, you have been promoted to one of the four concubines, and your identity is not ordinary, and you don't need to be so restrained here in this palace." ”

Compared with Huizhu's gentler tone, Geng's was even more respectful, and his eyes were full of humble smiles: "Niangniang's position is respectful, and the concubine should be like this." Without saying anything, Huizhu smiled a little tired, leaned back towards the quilt pillow, pointed to the chair closest to her, and said in a pampered manner: "Sit there, this palace can also talk to you." ”

Seeing that Huizhu didn't care much, Geng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the right side.

This is, Xiao Ranzi went and returned, holding the roster of show girls in his hand and came to reply: "The list of show girls selected by the palace is here, among them, they are named, have outstanding family backgrounds, and are related to the emperor...... They are all marked on their own. ”

"Rustle" A sound of pages moving sounded softly in the quiet room, and Huizhu flipped through the hours of almost a cup of tea before opening her lips and saying: "If you have the opportunity to enter the palace, the palace is all in your heart, and if you have anything to say, just say it." Geng's face was straight, and he said eloquently: "...... The first three names, as well as the remaining four, have been to the queen no less than twice. ”

Huizhu's eyebrows moved, pondered for a moment, turned back a few pages, and after staring at it for a long time, she said: "Except for the named Zhang family, the father and brother have high official positions, and the family background after this is inferior, but the character and appearance are indeed superior." Geng nodded and said: "Therefore, according to the concubines, the queen mother has frequent contact with them, and eighty percent of them belong to these people." ”

There are already seven of them! Plus the other selections, how many should be added? Huizhu closed the booklet annoyedly, not wanting to read it again.

Geng Shi observed the words, thought about it and said politely: "The concubines heard that there are no less than a dozen excerpts of the emperor's harem, and there are even more clans that say: Please ask the emperor to favor the harem and extend the emperor's heirs to protect the imperial power." Therefore, the concubines have always been, even if the emperor is unwilling in his heart, he has to be full of the face of the clan, and he has to ......"

Without waiting for Geng's words to finish, Huizhu's eyes suddenly opened, and the cold gaze forced away, Geng's heart was stunned, and he involuntarily lowered his head and was silent.

In fact, Huizhu didn't blame Geng, but her words touched Huizhu's heartstrings and reminded her of the gossip of the court's harem.

Since Hongli's sudden death, Yinzhen suddenly fell ill and recovered, there have long been different opinions, and rumors cannot be contained. And this remark is nothing more than Yinzhen's four years, no longer calling concubines to sleep, but staying in her courtyard for four or five days out of ten days. So, after a long time, such an extreme favor must be a chaotic image in the eyes of the stubborn old ministers, but after all, they are afraid of her dignity as a concubine and the status of the Hongli Baolian brothers and sisters, so they can only bear it.

Unexpectedly, two years ago, the news that she could not have children circulated in the Gyeonggi circle, and gradually, the opponents had righteous rhetoric to refute the argument that it was against the ancestral family law to favor a sterilized concubine alone, and to attract the suspicion of the emperor's heir. In this way, until this year's draft, there is a matter of her as the host, and the draft girls enter the palace.

Geng quietly peeked at Huizhu's uncertain face, so he cautiously called: "Niangniang......?" Listening to the sound, Huizhu laughed at the fluctuations caused by the side, but suddenly became impatient with this, so he said bluntly: "If there is anything else to say, I will say it together." After a while, the two little brothers woke up, and the palace had no time to spare. ”

Listening to Huizhu's impatient tone, Geng didn't dare to say it leisurely, and hurriedly recounted some details, but later, his words became slower, and his expression was quite solemn: "Niangniang, you have never been in contact with show girls, Xu is not very clear, there were two women named in the last draft, both of whom belong to the Han Army Banner." The appearance of the little Li family of the two is very good, but the makeup is very inconsistent with herself, hiding her beautiful face, and her behavior is extremely low-key, so that the concubine has not paid attention to her. If it hadn't been for the fact that I met near Concubine Ning's residence today, I don't know. ”

A woman with outstanding looks hides her beauty and appears in the territory of the Wu clan again! Doubts flashed in Huizhu's heart, and she shook her head and vetoed, three years ago, Fu Hui died, and Yin Zhen remembered that the Wu family had raised Fu Hui, so she reverted to her concubine's position. In the following three years, Wu almost stayed at home every day, eating fasting and praying for blessings, which should have calmed his mind...... Could it be that she has the heart to make trouble again?

Secretly thinking about it, he saw Geng's embarrassed frowning, and said uncertainly: "...... There is also a Liu family, seventeen this year, although his appearance is only average, but his bearing is calm...... "The words are not finished, Geng raised his eyes and glanced at Huizhu carefully, shook his head again, and muttered: "Xu is Liu's proficient in Buddhism, and her body is not vulgar, and I haven't seen who she has been in contact with, maybe ......" The words were not finished, and Geng shook his head again.

Huizhu was sure in her heart, and when she saw that Geng's expression was wrong, and listened to what she said, she interjected and asked, "Maybe what's wrong?" Geng Shi hurriedly gathered his mind and told him truthfully: "Maybe the concubine is too nervous, and everyone she sees is suspicious." ”

Hearing this, Huizhu saw that Geng's face was a little haggard, and she also knew that it was because she couldn't choose a palace concubine for Yinzhen, so she had to put the burden on Geng's body, and couldn't help but say gently: "Everyone who should be busy today is also busy, just wait for the palace election in five days, and you can also take a good rest in these days." Geng's face was panicked, and he hurriedly got up to thank Huizhu for his concern, and said a few more words to him, before getting up to say goodbye.

Looking at the background of Geng's careful departure, Huizhu couldn't help but call: "Sister Geng, every bit of the past four years has been seen by this palace...... The past has been forgotten by Hongu. ”

Geng's back stiffened suddenly, and his body trembled slightly, but after a moment of silence, Geng turned around and knelt down towards Huizhu and said, "Don't dare to forget the concubine!" The position of the fourth concubine and the errand of Hongday's entry into the court are all given by the mother! Doing things for the mother and being loyal to the mother is another matter of course. ”

Seeing this, Huizhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and then looked at Geng who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and her thoughts turned again, maybe only in this way was the best distance between her and Geng. So, Huizhu didn't say any more, just stopped sending Geng's family, cleaned up his thoughts, and ordered Xiao Ranzi to send someone to keep an eye on the Wu family and Xiao Li's family, and then put his whole mind on the palace election on August 24, the ninth year of Yongzheng.
