"Your Majesty, the girl from the concubine is more beautiful, you better take a look at these pictures......" Wang Yixing sighed and made a look of embarrassment.

Emperor Xia Qi squinted at him and snorted, "Show me my daughter." ”

Wang Yixing silently pulled out the portraits of the daughters of several ordinary families from the bottom.

Emperor Xia Qi was displeased, "What are you hiding from me?" Why are there no portraits of the daughters of the great families? ”

Wang Yixing hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen advises you to ...... Take your pick from these women. Wechen is for the good ...... of His Majesty"

"What do you mean?!" Emperor Xia Qi's face sank, "I choose a concubine, is there still someone who is reluctant to send their concubine into the palace?" ”

Wang Yixing raised his head violently, and a picture of "Your Majesty, how do you know?!" It's just genius! Weichen is ashamed of himself".

Emperor Xia Qi looked at Wang Yixing's face, and suddenly looked happy, smiled and nodded: "Don't be afraid, say it, what's going on." I don't believe it, those people dare to go against me! ”

Wang Yixing gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "In this case, the minister will tell the truth." ”

"Say."

“…… When the minister inquired about the situation of these people, they ...... only took the initiative to tell Weichen about the situation of the concubine. Weichen listened to it and asked a painter to paint a portrait. As for the concubine, if people don't mention it, Weichen can't ask directly, 'Why don't you send the concubine out for His Majesty to choose'? - Really, Your Majesty? Wang Yixing said with a smile.

Emperor Xia Qi sneered, "Okay, then I will give you another will, you go and listen to the daughters of these families, and then draw them for me to choose!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Wang Yixing retreated.

After he left. Emperor Xia Qi's face turned gloomy. Slammed the table hard.

"Majesty?" The chief eunuch cautiously came over and asked.

"I don't know how to lift! I just want to fool me with my concubine! Emperor Xia Qi snorted coldly.

“…… Fortunately, Lord Wang is loyal to His Majesty. Otherwise, it will make those people despise His Majesty. The chief eunuch smiled and helped Wang Yixing say good things.

Wang Yixing has always treated people like a spring breeze, and now he is generous, and he is especially kind and respectful to the eunuchs in the palace.

In and outside the palace, who doesn't like the "golden boy who can talk", can do things, and can also throw money, Lord Wang Yixing? !

Emperor Xia Qi nodded and said slowly: "I will see people's hearts for a long time. The road knows the horsepower. If Wang Yixing abandons the dark and turns to the light, it would be better. After thinking about it, he asked the chief eunuch again, "What happened to King Zhao?" Wang Yixing is King Zhao's brother-in-law, and I can't completely put my mind at ease......"

"Your Majesty can rest assured. Of course, there is a reason why Lord Wang is more loyal to His Majesty now. ”

"What is the reason?"

The chief eunuch walked a few steps and leaned into Emperor Xia Qi's ear and said, "...... Wang Yixing's sister, that is, Princess Zhao, heard that she has fallen out of favor recently. King Zhao took two more side concubines, both of whom were palace maids sent by the Empress Dowager. Think about it. With the support of the Empress Dowager, the two side concubines still have no place to squeeze Princess Zhao, who was born as a commoner? ! ”

"Oh!" Emperor Xia Qi suddenly realized. "No wonder Wang Yixing has been at odds with King Zhao recently, it turned out that he was fighting his sister. That's fine, anyway, he's facing us now, so let's just use him. ”

Anyway, it's just a trivial matter for him to do.

Emperor Xia Qi left Wang Yixing behind and began to frown and think hard again about the predicament he was facing.

……

Wang Yixing left the palace, took a few court painters and eunuchs, went to Yin's house first, and smiled at Yin Shilang: "Yin Shilang, you were not authentic last time. The third and fourth girls in your family are also married, and they are not married, and you didn't even mention a word, so I was scolded by Your Majesty! ”

"Huh?!" Yin Shilang stood up in shock, "How did Your Majesty know everything?!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, you even know how many concubines you have in your family, and how many outer rooms there are, how can you not know how many unmarried concubines you have?! - Hurry up, Yin Shilang, don't shirk it, let's quickly call out the two unmarried school-age girls from you, and let me bring the portrait of the court painter......" Wang Yixing put on his robe and sat down in front of the hall.

Yin Shilang's face was red and white when he heard this, and he was so annoyed that he secretly said that this emperor was too dirty, and he actually cared about the affairs of the courtiers' rooms, and stared at other people's concubines...... Bah! What a shame!

But slander is slander, Wang Yixing came under the command of His Majesty, and if Yin Shilang disagrees, he will resist the decree.

Yin Shilang coughed and said with a sad face: "Lord Wang, can you just call the fourth girl?" The three girls in my family have already been married. ”

If you have already made a marriage, you don't need to be on the candidate list.

But how could Wang Yixing give up this great opportunity to hate Xia Qidi? Busy shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "Yin Shilang, you only said now that you have made a marriage, is it too late?" I've passed on His Majesty's message, and you said that you have already made a marriage, why did you do it earlier? ”

"Can't you say a few kind words for us in front of Your Majesty?" Yin Shilang was anxious, and quietly gestured to ask the steward to give Wang Yixing a generous gift.

Wang Yixing excused himself seriously, shook his head and said, "Lord Yin, don't be like this. I, Wang Yixing, am loyal to His Majesty and never dare to deceive His Majesty. Today's matter, there is one to say, there is two to say, dare not deceive His Majesty! ”

Yin Shilang had no choice, so he had to grit his teeth and let the two concubines come out and let Wang Yixing bring the portrait of the court painter.

……

Coming out of Yin's house, Wang Yixing took them to Jiang Shilang's house again.

"Jiang Shilang, I can't help it, Your Majesty is very angry that your Jiang family didn't send the portrait of your concubine, and urges me to do a good job and send it to His Majesty for inspection." Wang Yixing smiled at Jiang Shilang and said.

Jiang Shilang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Of the three unmarried daughters of my family, two of them have already been married, and only the fourth ......" said while gritting his teeth and saying: "It will be decided soon." ”

Wang Yixing nodded and whispered, "It's okay, you let your daughter dress up like this......" said and whispered a few words in Jiang Shilang's ear.

Jiang Shilang frowned, "Is this okay?" ”

"Of course. You can rest assured. Wang Yixing patted him on the shoulder. Believe me. ”

Jiang Shilang nodded heavily. Gritted his teeth and said, "Then so be it." He said. He personally went to the inner courtyard and called out the three daughters.

When they "dressed up" according to Wang Yixing's instructions, the court painters waiting outside almost didn't smoke a fight.

The second girl of the Jiang family had a strange smell on her body, so that the court painter pinched her nose and drew a few strokes indiscriminately, and then hurriedly drove her away.

The third girl of the Jiang family was extremely "fat", dressed like a ball and "rolled" from the door, and the painter only looked at her twice, and waved her down.

The third Jiang Si girl is not bad. But she always turned her face sideways, and only showed half of her face to the artist.

The painter was puzzled and forced her to turn her head, only to see that the other half of her face was covered with red bumps, and she was so frightened that a drop of ink fell on the drawing paper, almost ruining the painting.

"Let's go! Let's go! The painter shook his head and secretly said that the Jiang family was different from the Yin family. The Yin family is reluctant to send their daughter-in-law, which is indeed a little unreasonable. Their daughters are better looking than their concubines.

But this Jiang family, it turns out that the concubine is much more beautiful than the concubine, no wonder only the concubine was allowed to come out for portraits last time......

……

Come out of Jiang's house. Wang Yixing took the court painter and the eunuch to several other households, all asking them to send out the portrait of the concubine who had concealed it last time.

Those few people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I had to ask my concubine to come out and paint a portrait of the painter.

This time I ran around the capital, and it took several days to collect all the portraits.

Finally, the final touches are done in the painting cabinet in the palace.

Wang Yixing casually picked out the portraits of several concubines and personally added color to these portraits.

Emperor Xia Qi likes white-skinned, big-eyed and small-mouthed beauties, so some people want to draw their eyes bigger and their mouths smaller.

Emperor Xia Qi likes beauties with high chests, waists, thin legs, so some people's chests, waists and legs may as well be inked a few more times.

After doing this, there are really a few beauties in these portraits that Emperor Xia Qi particularly loved.

And among these beauties, there happen to be a few who are still married......

After the second batch of portraits were processed, Wang Yi happily ordered people to hold these portraits and go to see Emperor Xia Qi.

When he entered, he found that not only Emperor Xia Qi, but also the Queen Mother and Empress were also in Emperor Xia Qi's imperial study.

Wang Yixing hurriedly bowed and wanted to retreat.

Emperor Xia Qi stopped him and said, "It's all sent?" ”

Wang Yixing nodded and presented the portrait.

The Queen Mother and the Queen came over together and said, "Show us." ”

Wang Yixing hurriedly shrank back and hid in the corner with the chief eunuch.

Emperor Xia Qi had to enjoy the portrait of his future little wife with his mother and his wife, and he was very depressed.

“…… Emperor, these portraits are not very good-looking. The Queen Mother hurriedly looked at it, shook her head and said, "It's not as good as your cousin of the Zhao family." According to the mourning family, you should directly announce your cousin's entry into the palace and make her a concubine. ”

Be a concubine as soon as you enter the palace? Then wouldn't I have been boiling for more than ten years in vain?!

Of course the queen refused, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is really chilling for the heroes to enter the palace alone to enter the palace to seal the concubines, it is better to let the daughters of these generals' families enter the palace to seal the four concubines, and it is better to defend the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

That's right.

Emperor Xia Qi couldn't help but nodded, "Zitong is reasonable. ”

"Then you won't let your cousin enter the palace?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows rose, "Really refuse?" ”

"It's not that I won't. Of course, cousins can enter the palace. Majesty xià can be sealed a beauty, Jieyu, there is no one in these positions. The queen chuckled.

Emperor Xia Qi hurriedly said: "What Zitong said today is exactly what I wanted. He turned his head to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, I will make an order to announce my cousin's entry into the palace and seal Jieyu, what do you think?" ”

The niece of her own mother's in-law is only named Jieyu!

The Queen Mother understood what the emperor meant, and sneered: "Whatever you want." The mourning family doesn't care! With that, he left the imperial study with a huff.

The queen also hurriedly retired, "Your Majesty, the concubine has also retired." ”

"Azusa boy walks slowly." Emperor Xia Qi personally sent the queen out, and when he came back to see those portraits, he felt much more comfortable.

He looked slowly, and at a glance he really took a fancy to a few women who he was very eye-catching, and inquired clearly that they were all daughters with excellent family backgrounds, not only the father's family was prosperous, but the mother's family was also a wealthy family.

If such a woman can enter the palace as a concubine, it will naturally be a great help for him. Besides, the way he was born was exactly what he liked.

Wang Yixing saw that those people were exactly what he had "carefully" prepared for Emperor Xia Qi, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty has a good eye!" ”

"Hahahaha! I may not be as good as you in the imperial examination, but when it comes to choosing a woman, you are not as good as me. Emperor Xia Qi was very proud, "You didn't marry Sheng Guogong's adopted daughter back then, but did you ever think that she would marry into the Divine General's Mansion to be the eldest and youngest grandmother?!" ”

As the saying goes, scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, and hitting people does not slap their faces.

Emperor Xia Qi's words suddenly poked Wang Yixing's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, making him almost turn his face on the spot.

But for a moment, he held back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is reasonable!" Weichen picks a woman's vision, there is indeed a problem! ”

"Wang Aiqing rest assured, after I choose a concubine, I will definitely point you a good family business, no worse than Sheng Guogong's adopted daughter!" Emperor Xia Qi laughed and waved him out.

Wang Yixing lowered his head and retreated with a smile.

Coming out of the palace, he always had a warm smile on his face, warm as spring, but his eyes were like a cold winter, and he couldn't see a little sunshine.

……

"Fourth son, Wu Guogong is invited." The residence of Zhou Huaili in the Divine General's Mansion, someone came to send a post to Zhou Huaili again.

Zhou Huaili saw that it was the post given to him by Mr. Wu, saying that the land on which the house was built had fallen, so he hurriedly packed up his things and rushed over.

"Ancestor, have you found a suitable plot of land so quickly?" Zhou Huaili asked in surprise.

"Hehe, in this place in the capital, if your grandfather and I recognize the second, no one will recognize the first!" Old Man Wu praised himself with a smile and showed a picture to Zhou Huaili, "Look, this is it." What is the orientation and topography? Is the size enough? ”

Zhou Huaili took a closer look and found that the place was not far from the Divine General's Mansion, just one or two streets away, and couldn't help but say very happily: "This location is really good." It is said that the land on the other side of our god's house is expensive, and there is nowhere to buy silver. How did you get it? ”

"Hehe, you don't care about this, if you see it, I'll buy it for you." Old Man Wu said generously.

Zhou Huaili knew that Old Man Wu had always been stingy, and after buying this large piece of land, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in distress, and hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I really don't need it, our family has silver." ”

"If you do this again, then I won't give you this land, I'll give it to someone else!" Old Man Wu was annoyed, and he had a posture of turning his face, "What are you polite to your grandfather?" Your mother is my daughter-in-law, although she is married, but the daughter of our Wu family is more noble than others. You can take it with confidence! ”

"But......" Zhou Huaili was still a little hesitant. After all, he has a soft hand and a short mouth, so he has to weigh it......

"Don't. So be it. If you really don't want to go, help me accompany Juan'er more. Alas, this kid has been in a bad mood lately, and has been sullen, and I don't know why. Her aunt and grandmother took turns to ask, but they couldn't ask why. Old Man Wu sighed and patted Zhou Huaili's shoulder.
