"Choosing a concubine? Hehe, the position has not yet been secured, and I am worried about choosing a concubine? The Empress Dowager smiled and narrowed her phoenix eyes.

Although her face was wrinkled, not as white and flawless as before, her phoenix eyes were still not inferior to that of a young woman.

Lady Yao followed with a smile and said, "Which emperor is not like this when he newly ascends the throne?" Besides, His Majesty does only have a few old people brought over from the East Palace, and there is no one in the palace except for the queen, the fourth concubine and the ninth concubine. ”

When the emperor ascends the throne, in addition to the great feudal heroes, the selection of concubines is also an important means to consolidate the throne.

"That's right." The Empress Dowager nodded slowly, "The Empress has a too leisurely life alone, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble." Still have to find something for her to do. The Queen Mother is also staring at the court every day, wanting to seek benefits for her mother's family. Hmph......" The Empress Dowager snorted disdainfully.

"Want to learn from the mourning family? - These are the remnants of the mourning family's play. The Empress Dowager secretly mocked the Empress Dowager in her heart.

"The queen only goes to greet the queen mother now, and it is indeed a bit too much to stay away from the queen mother." Lady Yao sighed lightly.

"Okay, let Your Majesty choose a concubine. Remember to send to Your Majesty the list of girls who have not been married to officials above the fifth grade. The Empress Dowager got up with a smile and walked to the window, looking out at the night in fascination.

Her thoughts flew far away for a while, all the way back to the year she was sixteen......

Female official Yao didn't dare to interrupt the empress dowager's contemplation, and stood quietly beside her.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager retracted her thoughts and walked to the dormitory.

As he walked, he asked Lady Yao, "What else is going on?" ”

Lady Yao thought for a moment, "There's nothing wrong with it." ”

"Okay?" The Empress Dowager stopped and glanced at her, "Where is Wu Chanjuan?" After the separation of the Wu Guogong Mansion. Old man Wu, the old fox, still held Wu Chanjuan firmly in his hands and didn't let him go. ”

Wu Chanjuan's father, Wu Changge, has already been separated.

But Wu Chanjuan was left behind.

Of course, this is related to her "heavy pupil" identity.

Female official Yao lowered her head and followed behind the Empress Dowager, and said softly: "...... Businessmen are profitable. There are strange goods to live in, and there are also them. ”

"Old man Wu wants to treat Wu Chanjuan as a strange commodity?" The Empress Dowager grunted. "He's really not very good-looking."

Female Officer Yao chuckled, "If you want to say that the grandfather of the country with the most poisonous vision should be Old Man Zhou, right?" ”

"Him?" The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time and shook her head, "The mourning family has no energy. Otherwise, you can still fight him. As she spoke, she looked back at Lady Yao, "You are not his opponent, and King Zhao is not." Wang Yixing may be okay in his next life, but don't count on it in this life. So, don't mess with the gods. They can be impartial, and they will do enough for us. ”

Female Officer Yao nodded in response, and said: "But that night, the minister went to Dengjie and saw that Zhou Gongzi saved the two daughters by himself, and saved Wu Chanjuan and Jiang Siniang, which is really amazing." ”

The Empress Dowager turned around and walked forward, and said softly, "One person saves two women?" Wu Chanjuan and Jiang Siniang? What's going on? ”

Lady Yao paused. I told everything I knew about Zhou Huaili, Wu Chanjuan, and Jiang Siniang.

The Empress Dowager quietly listened to this familiar scene, sighed, shook her head, and said, "Both women are noble women. It is impossible for Zhou Huaili to enjoy the blessings of all people. ”

This means that it is impossible for Wu Chanjuan and Jiang Siniang to be concubines.

"The Empress Dowager thinks too much. I haven't skimmed it yet. Female Officer Yao laughed softly, "Now it seems that the prince of Thursday is a brother and sister to Wu Chanjuan, and he is a brother and sister to Jiang Siniang...... Well, there was too little contact to see any deep friendship. Besides, Thursday Gongzi is so old and hasn't decided on a marriage yet, his family must have high hopes for his wife, and idle women can't look down on him. ”

"Oh......" the Empress Dowager let out a long sigh. Turning his head and smiling, he looked at Lady Yao, "...... That's ......."

……

In Emperor Xia Qi's imperial study. Wang Yixing stood in front of the emperor and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty." Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple are chasing the murderer, do you want to urge them? No progress has been made so far. ”

Emperor Xia Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to supervise this matter, Wang Aiqing, come, help me take a look, how to start choosing a concubine this time?" ”

Wang Yixing smiled. He knew that the emperor would not let him meddle in the really important matters.

Emperor Xia Qi actually used him as a courtier, not a courtier who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities and do practical things.

This can show that his emperor is open-minded and has not completely left Wang Yixing out in the cold. - After all, Wang Yixing's identity as "Sanyuan and First" is there.

However, Wang Yixing wants this effect.

For him, no matter what it is, as long as it is put in his hands, he can make small things big, and big things he can make small.

Whether it's black or white, important or not, it's just a matter of his thoughts.

"Your Majesty chooses a concubine, and the Zongren Mansion has to come forward to handle it, right?" Wang Yixing shirked with some embarrassment, "Wechen is still more interested in the murderers on Lamp Street. ”

Emperor Xia Qi laughed secretly when he heard this. - Just knowing that you are interested, I will not let you interfere.

I am not a fool for such an important matter, how could I entrust it to King Zhao's brother-in-law?

Isn't this a handing of the hilt to your opponent's hand?

"Aiqing, choosing a concubine is also an important matter, you can draw up a charter first, and then give it to the Zongren Mansion for details." Emperor Xia Qi picked up the pen and wrote an edict to Wang Yixing, asking him to send it to the Zongren Mansion.

Wang Yixing had no choice but to make a reluctant look, took the command sullenly, and left the imperial study.

He had been standing in the imperial study for so long, and the wound on his back hurt so much that he was about to break out in a cold sweat, but he could only hold back.

That day, when he saw the guards around Sheng Siyan dispatch, he stopped and didn't go any further.

She didn't see the knife he was holding for her.

He didn't need her to see it.

……

The matter of Emperor Xia Qi's choice of concubines has begun to enter the agenda of the Zongren Mansion, and it has not yet been made public.

On this day, Wang Yixing came to Jiang Shilang's mansion to ask for a meeting.

"Yixing, you're here!" Jiang Shilang was in Xiu Mu and came out to see him.

Wang Yixing had a close relationship with King Zhao, when he was in Jiangnan. I am very familiar with the Jiang family.

The current Jiang Shilang and Wang Yixing have always been very compatible.

Wang Yixing smiled and arched his hand, and was not polite, and sat down in the position of Jiang Shilang's head. smiled and said: "There are two things to take the liberty of interrupting today. I will take counsel with thee. ”

"You're welcome! Ngai Hing, if you have something to say, just say it! "Jiang Shilang knew that Wang Yixing came to visit, it must be for King Zhao's business.

Wang Yixing nodded, ordered someone to send more than a dozen gifts, and said with a smile: "This is the princess's birthday gift to Shanshan, in previous years, she was born in Jiangnan, and she can't go back this year." After a pause, he said, "The princess and the prince are very concerned about her." ”

Jiang Shilang knew who Wang Yixing was talking about, and nodded with a smile. "Shanshan is doing well in Jiangnan. The prince and princess can rest assured. She was raised by the ancestors of our Jiang family, and she should be fed and clothed according to the rules of the concubine at home back then, and she would never be wronged. ”

Wang Yixing said with a smile: "We are naturally relieved. Well, one more thing. ”

"Please." Jiang Shilang ordered someone to serve tea.

Wang Yixing took the tea and took a sip before he said, "Your Majesty wants to choose a concubine." ”

Jiang Shilang held the hand of the teacup and paused, "Choose a concubine?" ”

"Yes. The Jiang family and the Yin family are bound to have someone enter the palace. You have to prepare in advance. ”

"This matter, King Zhao and ...... Does the Empress Dowager know? Jiang Shilang only felt his eyelids jump suddenly.

If someone from the Jiang family enters the palace again, the Jiang family will not be monolithic......

"Do you think that if the Empress Dowager and her old man do not agree, Your Majesty can choose a concubine?" Wang Yixing sneered and put the teacup on the table.

"Huh? Is it really the meaning of the Queen Mother? Jiang Shilang smacked his tongue. It's also too ...... Adventured. ”

What if the daughter of the Jiang family enters the palace and gives birth to a son?

The Jiang family can now stand on King Zhao's side because King Zhao is the only son of the Jiang family.

If there is still a prince with the blood of the Jiang family. Their Jiang family doesn't need to stand in line......

Wang Yixing looked at Jiang Shilang quietly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This is the boldness of the Empress Dowager.

She is testing the Jiang family's single-minded assistance and support for King Zhao.

If the Jiang family sees that there is another opportunity for their daughter to enter the palace to consolidate their favor, so they give up their support for King Zhao and just want to ride the wall, then the Empress Dowager will not be able to tolerate the Jiang family.

The Empress Dowager wanted to see if the Jiang family could withstand such a temptation.

Otherwise, she would not be able to leave the Jiang family behind and leave trouble for King Zhao in the future.

Support for the Prince. You can only choose one side to take sides.

Want to ride the wall, or be neutral. To see if you are the Duke of the Four Great Powers.

If not, you are not eligible to remain neutral.

Jiang Shilang was silent for a long time. Slowly understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and the look on her face couldn't help but change from excited, to suspicious, and finally to become uneasy.

He stood up and shook Wang Yixing to the ground, "Yixing, thank you for reminding me." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Yixing raised his hand, got up and said, "The world is in a dilemma. Think about it. That's all I say, farewell! ”

After Wang Yixing left, Jiang Shilang immediately repaired a book and sent it to the old lady and old lady of the Jiang family in Jiangnan, and sent it to Jiangnan along with the letter, as well as the gift that Wang Yixing had just sent.

After taking care of these things, Jiang Shilang returned to the inner courtyard and said to his wife Cao: "Hurry up and marry Siniang." ”

"Huh? Siniang is still young and not in a hurry. Grandma Cao said busily, "Her two sisters didn't marry until they were eighteen. ”

"It's not the same time it used to be. His Majesty is about to make a decree to choose a concubine. Let's settle Siniang's family affairs before His Majesty makes a decree, otherwise, do you really want to send her to the palace to be selected? Jiang Shilang said unashamedly.

Grandma Cao was taken aback, "Choosing a concubine? Is this news true? Who do you listen to? ”

"Not yet. Keep your mouth shut. Jiang Shilang glared at her.

Grandma Cao is graceful, very beautiful, and also from everyone, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, I can save it." I'm going to talk to Siniang. Xiao Nizi has grown up, and she seems to have something on her mind. As he spoke, he smiled with his sleeves covered.
