The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, there is no major event in the harem before the end of the year, and the Queen Mother once again mentioned the matter of the emperor's draft, before the emperor had sent the household department to tell the Eight Banners, and the roster of the show girl had been reported as early as before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Xuan Ye didn't take it seriously and ignored it. As the roster was submitted, the school-age women from all over the country were sent to the capital from their homes as early as possible, or their relatives were in the capital, or rented inns and inns, and waited for the emperor to make a decree to draw up the date of selection.

Before the selection of Fujin for the prince again and again, and the emperor picked a few Han women by his side, it was not the posture of the draft, this time it was a real move, and there will be hundreds of show girls from all over the country, and the last remaining ones will be personally received and selected by the emperor and the queen mother.

Lan Qi and they can't care about leaving the sign and leaving the sign, just wait for the emperor to choose which people, and then arrange them to live in the inner palace according to their family background and status in the palace.

At present, the emperor's date has not yet been decided, and there is no progress in the matter, but Lan Qi and Concubine Rong have counted the uninhabited palaces in the palace early, sent people to clean and prepare, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to arrange for the palace maids and eunuchs in advance, and set aside a certain number of people, and the number of women who should be selected under the banner and the leaders and reminders are announced, so that on the day of the election, the corresponding palace maids and grandmothers will be arranged to meet in the palace, and arrange where they are waiting according to the number of people. It was the first time for Lan Qi to handle such a thing, and she had a lot of discussions with Concubine Rong, but she also did a little bit of it, which made the Queen Mother very comforted.

On the Double Ninth Festival, Xuan Ye in order to show filial piety, finally fulfilled the wish of the Queen Mother, and planned a draft on September 25, leaving half a month, so as to wait for those show girls who had not yet entered Beijing to rush to the capital, and in those fifteen days, the emperor took his sons and clan children to inspect Gidian, the paddock autumn hunting, feet did not touch the ground everywhere, and finally returned to the palace to settle down before the draft day, and the whole person was tanned.

When resting in Yonghe Palace that night, Lan Qi compared the skin color on the emperor's face and chest and said: "I didn't tan on such a poisonous day in summer, but I got tanned like this in autumn, and if the emperor comes back half a month later, the concubines won't be able to see you at night." ”

Xuan Ye said: "When the newcomer enters the palace, you really won't be able to see me at night, and in a few years, when you are forty years old, do you want to stop the brand with Concubine Rong and them?" ”

Lan Qi didn't expect Xuan Ye to suddenly say such a thing, and his face, which was still joking, suddenly froze, pursed his lips and looked at Xuan Ye without speaking, but people laughed softly: "You are in a hurry to take care of everything, forcing me to agree to the Queen Mother to do the draft immediately, I originally wanted to delay it, and I have been a little idle recently, so that I can go around with you, but you are in a hurry to summon the newcomer into the palace, don't you never want to see me again in the night?" ”

"The concubine is a grandmother." Hearing the emperor's words, she made up her mind, bent down to tie the belt of Xuan Ye's bedclothes, and said, "The emperor and the concubines are all at peace with what happens, and being the emperor and concubine have their own responsibilities." As for the newcomers, as long as the emperor doesn't brush off the dignity of the concubines for the sake of those beautiful and young people, the concubines don't care about them, they are all people as big as Wen Xian, can the concubines have trouble with them? ”

Xuan Ye coughed lightly: "You don't necessarily have to choose a newcomer, choose someone as big as us?" They are young, and they can't blame me. ”

Lan Qi smiled, turned around to bring ginseng tea to him, stood aside and thought about Xuan Ye's words, and suddenly laughed again, the emperor drank ginseng tea and stuffed the tea bowl into her hand angrily, and said hatefully: "How can you laugh, I will be annoyed, after a while, the newcomer will add new trouble, you should pester me to lose your temper, and I will come to coax you." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there will never be such a thing." Lan Qi was in a good mood, but when she turned around, she was pulled by Xuan Ye to her side and asked her what she was laughing at.

"When you are happy, you laugh, why do you have to do why?" Lan Qi didn't want to say what she was thinking, but Xuan Ye's hand was already on her waist, and she was in a miserable posture if she didn't say it, her body trembled, and she couldn't avoid the man's domineering gaze, so she only blushed and said, "I want to...... Those young and beautiful newcomers come, you are used, but when you are the youngest and strongest, they will never see each other for a lifetime, and we may not be able to meet in the next night, but in the best time, you are almost alone. ”

Lan Qi deliberately commensurate you and me, saying extremely ambiguous and even rude words, but this is indeed her pride, not sooner or later, they met each other in the best years, lingering for more than ten years, when she thought of these, she didn't care if she was a younger newcomer. Before the words fell, her body was heavily pressed and fell, and the strap she had just tied for others was torn open in a few clicks, Xuan Ye's solid chest was exposed in front of her, and her big hand went down her waist, and she said angrily: "I can't compare to the past now? ”

Lan Qi saw Xuan Ye's strong chest and her heart fluttered, and she asked him to rub it again, her body was already weak, and she couldn't help but look at her and speak ambiguously, and said in a very low voice: "Then how can you prove it to me?" ”

Xuan Ye snorted domineeringly, the curtains beside the bed fell layer by layer, covering the infinite spring light, and the next day was September 25, a night of fun, and the satisfied man sat down and looked down at those fourteen or fifteen-year-old show girls, who really looked at children like children.

Those who can enter the final selection, there will always be no too ugly people, it is easy to be dazzled after seeing too much, the emperor has read all the beautiful women for decades, and he has already passed the age of blood and strength, so he chose to see the two flag show girls in one day, and after four or five days, except for the queen mother who selected a few people with good family backgrounds and appearances, Xuan Ye left them by himself, and what he valued was the family background behind them. However, the Guerjia clan that was set early on also made his eyes shine, at least he could cultivate a legitimate favorite concubine with his appearance.

Wait for the newcomers to officially enter the palace, it has been in the middle of October, sure enough, each batch will have outstanding characters, most of the newcomers are scattered all over the palace in the position of often agreeing, only the Guarjia clan is a nobleman, and the word "and" is given the title, and in a blink of an eye there is a beautiful young and noble person in the palace. The emperor even arranged for her to live with Concubine Tong in Chuxiu Palace, although she was not the lord of the first palace, but she was the only one in this group of newcomers who lived in the six palaces in the east and west.

The green head card of the Internal Affairs Office, as early as before the newcomers entered the palace, was done in accordance with the name of canonization, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong saw it with their own eyes, and saw a column of fresh characters, Concubine Rong smiled bitterly on the side: "I can't put it down, it's time to stop some signs, it's not interesting to keep it." ”

Lan Qi only said: "Let's wait for the emperor's orders." ”

At that time, Duan Concubine was also on the side, but she mentioned: "Why is Chen Chang's green head card still parked, and now that the newcomer has come in, does she have no chance?" This year, the emperor didn't take her with him when he went to Changchun Garden, leaving her alone in Zhongcui Palace, and when she came back to see her in August, the whole person was lifeless, if the emperor didn't regain favor, she probably wouldn't be better. ”

Lan Qi sighed in her heart, she still remembered the words of the person who burned paper money for the prince's official woman, at this time and that time, it turned out that the emperor could really say that he didn't like it. In the past, although the Wang family was disliked, she was a "favorite concubine" who could be accepted by the emperor, and Chen Changzai was a person who could get along well with the concubines, but she didn't know how to please the emperor.

In the final analysis, Jun's heart is unpredictable, and Lan Qi's blessing lies in the fact that Xuan Ye regards her as the other half, not just a concubine in the harem.

According to the rules, the newcomer enters the palace to go everywhere to ask for a salute, the queen mother has seen there, follow the status of the concubine to go to the palace, but now there is no noble lady in the palace concubine, and there are five concubines, the emperor has never officially said which is higher or lower, in the past, there were Wen concubines, and it is the same wherever you go after the Xianfu Palace, but now which place to go first is obviously different.

The day before the newcomers entered the palace, Concubine Yi knew Lan Qi and Concubine Rong, and said that the next day the sisters were waiting in Ningshou Palace, so that those newcomers could see all at once, and said very steadily: "Now that the brothers have grown up, the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers will also reach the age of marriage, and before the children leave the palace, the access control rules in the palace should be more strict." ”

These words made the Queen Mother agree very much, not only that the unmarried brothers have grown up now, and they have left the palace to start a family, and they will come to the harem from time to time to ask for peace. But you can't not let the elder brother enter the palace, nor can you not let the concubines in the palace go out and walk around, everyone discussed with the queen mother, and finally decided that in the future, whenever an adult elder brother enters the palace, the internal affairs government will send eunuchs to inform the palaces immediately, and the concubines will avoid suspicion in their residences, and the consequences of violators will be borne by themselves.

It's not difficult to do this, and the brothers won't run to the inner palace every day, but there is one person who is slightly embarrassed, and that is the prince of Yuqing Palace. And the prince has to go to Ningshou Palace every day to ask the queen mother for peace, Lan Qi and the others ignore the prince here intentionally or unintentionally, but when they mention it in private, they will still smile at each other, only looking forward to the self-respect of the young concubine, and the prince should be even more so.

That day, all the concubines gathered in Ningshou Palace to wait for the newcomers to come to salute, this draft into the palace, with the eight flags in the majority, Lan Qi and several people did not participate in the four or five days of tedious and long draft, the first time I saw the newcomer today, not to mention the beauty, but looking at the people who are the same size as the princesses, Concubine Yi was straight, and couldn't help but say in public: "At first glance, I thought Wen Xian ran in, why do you feel that the newcomer is young more and more?" ”

The Queen Mother coughed dryly, blaming Concubine Yi for being disrespectful, and everyone was busy sitting in danger to watch the newcomer make a big salute. And according to the rank of rank, the one who knelt at the first one was favored by the emperor this time, and was superior to everyone and the noble Guerjia clan.
