Prime Minister Mo raised his head to meet the eyes of the God King, and said with a straight face: "The emperor has just ascended to the throne, and there are many vacancies in the harem. Although General Situ has made outstanding achievements, it is precisely because of this that it is inevitable that the power of only establishing the position of queen will be tilted, which is not conducive to the stability of my apocalypse. ”

"What does the prime minister mean is that there is going to be a draft?" Situ Heyu looked at Mo Zhiyuan with some contempt in his eyes.

This old thief just wants a piece of the pie, only the queen, of course, his Situ family is bigger. But he's not so stupid, the time is not ripe now, and he'd rather give way to this kind of controversial thing. The draft is the draft, anyway, in the emperor's heart, there is his daughter Situ Ning.

"What does the emperor think?" Mo Zhiyuan looked at Emperor Mingxuan and asked.

Xuanyuan Zili glanced at the faces of everyone in the court, and said lightly: "It's okay to draft it, but I don't have to work too hard not long after I ascend the throne." You can only choose from the official homes in Kyoto. ”

"Your Majesty." The ministers saluted in unison, and Emperor Mingxuan looked at Mo Zhiyuan's smiling face, his expression was a little gloomy.

Mo Zhiyuan has no children and no daughters under his knees, and I am afraid that he wants to send the daughter of the person he is good friends with to the palace. It doesn't matter, whoever enters the palace is the same, except for the women in the main palace, everyone else is just decorations.

Duguchen looked at Mo Zhiyuan curiously, and always felt that the old man seemed to be a lot more proud than usual today. Tsk, how much money have you embezzled, and you have enough confidence?

When he went down, Duguchen followed Mo Zhiyuan away, and when the people around him gradually decreased, he chased after him and shouted: "Prime Minister Mo." ”

Mo Zhiyuan stopped, turned his head and saw Dugu Chen, squinted his eyes slightly and smiled: "What is the matter with Lord Dugu?" ”

Duguchen walked over, touched his chin and said ruffianly: "Xiaguan is a little curious, you have no children and no daughters, and those who are beneficial to the draft are all other families, how can you do this kind of thing with your cleverness?" ”

Prime Minister Mo laughed and said, "You want to say how can you do it with the strength of the old man, don't be tactful, there are not many people in this court who can be as bold and direct as you." ”

Duguchen was slightly stunned, a little surprised in his heart. This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to this old man, and he used to think that he was stubborn and reprehensible. Who knows how it looks... Doesn't that seem like that? A person who can say so frankly that he is a traitor...

"Ahem, since the prime minister doesn't mind, then the lower official is not hypocritical. If you have any doubts, please ask the prime minister to answer them. Duguchen arched his hand.

"It's not necessarily unprofitable for the old man." Mo Zhiyuan smiled and continued to walk: "When I wait for the draft, I can let you scold me for being a traitor, enough to scold." ”

This... Duguchen looked at Prime Minister Mo's back and frowned slightly. What the hell is this old man's idea?

The news of the draft spread in the harem. At present, there is no owner in the middle palace, and the draft is naturally handled by the Queen Mother herself. In the past two days, there have been a lot of concubines who have gone to Cining Palace to invite An, and everyone wants to know how many new concubines will be added to the harem in a draft.

Except for the queen who has been determined to be Situ Ning, and Mama Xi has also gone to Situ Mansion, the rest of the official women have to pass the draft, and then get the grace, get the position, and then welcome the queen into the middle palace with the people of the harem.

Liang Yue and Peony both returned to Qianyuan Palace. At this time, Liang Yue was standing in the study where there was only the emperor, talking quietly.

"We're halfway through the March period." Liang Yue said calmly: "Slave maid, today, I have something to say. ”

Xuanyuan Zili leaned back in the chair, looked at Liang Yue coldly and said, "You say." ”

Liang Yue took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said: "The slave admits defeat, within three months, I can't prove to Your Majesty who is behind the scenes." ”

Emperor Mingxuan was stunned, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Gu Liangyue with some surprise. Obviously, there is still a month and a half, and she will admit defeat in advance, which is not like her temperament.

"Can I understand that you want to voluntarily stay in the palace until you die of old age?" Xuanyuan Zili looked at Gu Liangyue's expression and asked coldly.

Liang Yue was silent for a while, then raised her eyes, the light in her eyes shining firmly: "Slave... Willing to die in the palace. ”

"Really..."Emperor Mingxuan frowned slightly, lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Then go and stay where you should go, and don't dangle in front of my eyes." ”

"The slave obeys." Liang Yue saluted and exited the study.

Looking up at the sky, it's still boxy. Liang Yue smiled and restrained her cold breath. From now on, she had to find a way to get to that man, and she had to find a way to please him in a way that was not like her at all. It's really ridiculous, she practiced martial arts with her master for several years, and finally she was buried in this palace.

After stopping for a while, Liang Yue raised her steps and walked towards Cining Palace.

She should go where she was supposed to be.

For the next period of time, Xuanyuan Zili was very busy. There are small countries on the border to pay tribute, there is a locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River, plus a bunch of affairs preparing for the draft, there is hardly a good rest.

The time for the show girl to enter the palace is ten days later, and it is stipulated that only women who are registered as officials in Kyoto can enter the palace to participate in the draft. The place for the Xiu Palace was also vacated for the show girls who entered the palace to live temporarily.

There were many days when Xuanyuan Zili didn't see Gu Liangyue, but he didn't ask, just occasionally glanced at the partition. There are too many things, and he doesn't have time to take care of a palace maid. However, when he was free, the emperor went to Cining Palace very often.

Looking at her emperor's eyes always looking around inadvertently, the queen mother couldn't help but smile and said, "Who is the emperor looking for?" ”

Emperor Mingxuan raised his eyebrows: "The queen mother is too worried, I just think that Cining Palace seems to be a little old." When the draft is over, it should be repaired. ”

The Queen Mother looked around, shook her head and said, "The mourning family thinks it's pretty good, so there is no need to work hard and lose money." There are also a lot of silver taels needed for the draft, so you have to save some expenses. By the way, the list has been sent to the mourning family in Dali Temple today, they are all official women in Kyoto, do you want to see it? ”

Xuanyuan Zili said uninterestedly: "The queen mother's cooking, Erchen is very relieved, so there is no need to watch it." ”

The Queen Mother took the list, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Since the emperor doesn't look at it, then it's okay." The mourning family is afraid that you were not prepared before, and when they face the saint, they will be surprised. ”

"How?" Xuanyuanzi looked at a bottle of very delicate plum blossoms not far from him, and it didn't matter if it was authentic.

The Queen Mother smiled without saying a word, and glanced at the peony behind the emperor. Peony shook her head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Ten days later, the show girl entered the palace.

Many carriages were parked in front of the majestic palace gate, and eunuchs guarded the palace gate, holding lists and shouting one by one. The girl whose name was called got out of the car, said goodbye to the person who saw her off, and slowly walked into the palace gate.

"Zuo's Qingling."

"Lee's Wanting"

The woman who was named took off her cloak, dressed in a well-fitting and generous palace dress, held a wooden plaque engraved with her name, and walked to the palace gate in order. You can see whether these women are noble or not by looking at their clothes, and you can also look at the posture of walking to judge whether the etiquette is good. Therefore, when a show girl enters the palace, it is indispensable for a maid with a concubine to watch at the palace gate.

"This year is the primary election, and these show girls are not very good-looking." Several little palace maids stood around Minglan beside Concubine Liang, and secretly discussed while looking at the show girls who came in: "Sister Minglan, some of these people are not as good-looking as you." ”

"Mouthy." Minglan frowned slightly, looked at the show girl who came in with a lot of water, and lowered her voice and said, "Nonsense is going to cause trouble." Is the family background behind these show girls comparable to you and me? It's better to look at it and think about how to report to your master when you go back. ”

A few little palace maids were silent and looked at those show girls quietly. They are telling the truth, there are too few of these people who are very good-looking. It is estimated that in the end, all those left are those who have a strong net worth.

"Shangguan's Liu'er."

"Mo's Cool Moon."

After the father-in-law who guarded the gate shouted these two names, he heard the silence of everyone at the palace gate. He couldn't help but look up curiously, but saw that the curtains of the two carriages that had stopped at the front had been lifted, and then two women in palace clothes walked down.

Shangguan Liu'er has heard of it, and said that it is one of the most beautiful in Kyoto. Seeing it at this time, it really lived up to the rumors, the light green palace dress, with white sleeves, looked fresh and refined. A dignified and pretty face with a smart smile makes people can't take their eyes off it.

The people around them secretly gritted their teeth, the Shangguan family is a famous family, and the chances of Shangguan Liu'er being selected are much greater, plus this beautiful face, isn't it easy to win the Sacred Heart?

And the other woman... Everyone looked up and froze in place.

This woman, most of the people present have never seen her, and few people in the palace have seen her face, but the first time they saw this kind of face that is not like a mortal, everyone's first reaction was shock.

Liang Yue was dressed in a light purple palace dress, with a generous bun, no fat powder, and a smile in her eyebrows, so she met everyone's eyes and looked up at the high palace gate.

"Father-in-law, Liangyue has gone." Liang Yue saluted towards the carriage, and the smile on her face was bright and charming.

"Well, I'm going to take care of myself." Mo Zhiyuan's voice came from the carriage, with some sighs, and said, "Remember, you are Mo Liangyue now, no longer Gu Liangyue." Your name has been registered in the old man's household registration in Dali Temple, so if there is something, you still have to think about the old man's presence. ”

Liang Yue smiled, saluted the carriage again, then turned around and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Yes, from today onwards, she is Mo Liangyue, a woman who is bent on entering the Middle Palace. is no longer the waste concubine Gu Liangyue, nor is it the palace maid Liangyue. She wants to stand in front of Xuanyuan Zili again with such a new identity. Even if the days ahead are hard, even if what she will lose is what she can keep in the end, it doesn't matter.

From the moment she stepped through the gates of this palace, she never looked back. Whatever is ahead, she will take it well. Because it's her own decision.
