When it comes to the matter of draft girls, Emperor Zhao is also very concerned.

Not long after Concubine Wan passed away, he selected a group of show girls to enter the palace. However, he was not very satisfied with the quality and quantity of this batch of show girls, only one or two of them were still considered to be the best in the country, and the others were vulgar and ordinary.

Because I'm not satisfied overall, I plan to choose another batch.

If you can't choose a few satisfactory women this year, you will have to wait for next year.

Emperor Zhao put down the fold in his hand and looked out the window melancholy.

At this time, it was the dead of night, and the bright moon was hanging high, but he did not feel the slightest sleep.

In the past, when Wan Guifei was there, she had already sent the little eunuch to the imperial study to listen to the letter, and sometimes the little eunuch would bring him a jasmine sachet embroidered by Wan Guifei, implying that she was waiting for him in Nangong, hoping that he would come over to accompany her soon. Sometimes the little eunuch would bring a plate of pastries, saying that Wan Guifei Niangniang was worried that the emperor would work too hard to review the folds at night, so she sent some food, which was actually a hint that she had packed up and was waiting for him on the bed. Or ask the little eunuch to bring a picture and draw a flower. Write a sentence: In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. All these things are the careful thoughts of Wan Guifei to show her love. Emperor Zhao loves this set.

But now, no one sends him anything anymore.

Losing Wan Guifei is like losing a treasure that he has treasured for many years.

In the past, when there were treasures, when you were bored and lonely, you could take them out and enjoy them. But now that there is no such treasure, I no longer know how to spend the long night.

Gonggong Hai saw that Emperor Zhao was in a low mood, so when Fengcha stepped forward, he thought about unraveling him.

"Your Majesty, this is a new tea sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it tastes different from what you drank in the past. You taste it. ”

There are words in Gonggong Hai's words, in fact, it is also to let the emperor understand that the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come. But the emperor seems to be still immersed in the grief of losing his beloved, and he can't come out for a long time.

said lightly: "You can put it aside." ”

Grandpa Hai had to put the tea aside.

He turned around and continued: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, let's see these twists and turns tomorrow." ”

Emperor Zhao nodded slightly.

In fact, where could he see it, he spread out the fold in front of him, looked at the lines of words on it, although his eyes saw it, but his mind was still blank at all. He turned it over and threw it aside.

He knew that he was just waiting for time because he didn't want to sleep.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Xu, who is on duty at night, is still waiting outside. Do you want to flip the cards again......" Father-in-law Hai said very carefully, he was afraid that he would anger Emperor Zhao again.

When Gonggong Xu, who was on duty at night, came in with a plate for the first time, Emperor Zhao directly blasted him out. said that he was busy reviewing the folds and had no intention of turning over the cards, so that Gonggong Xu was not allowed to disturb him.

But now it seems that he is not seriously reviewing the folds.

Speaking of which, it's still a matter of men and women.

Although Gonggong Hai is a eunuch, he understands everything in his heart.

Emperor Zhao didn't speak, but he wasn't angry or annoyed, and he didn't change his face.

So Gonggong Hai was sure, and he estimated that in fact, the emperor himself thought about it, but it was just because of his face that it was difficult to say it.

Since he is the emperor's confidant and eunuch, he must share the emperor's worries and solve problems.

"Your Majesty, according to the old slave, you should flip through the cards again. Recently, the few new show girls who have entered the palace are not bad, and the old slave heard that one of them is a show girl named Suo Qingwu who is particularly outstanding. She was Suo Zhongtang's youngest daughter, and if she was left to dry, she might chill Suo Zhongtang's heart. ”

"Hmm......" Emperor Zhao finally answered in a low voice.

In fact, the beauty of Suo Qingwu, Emperor Zhao has long noticed it.

Moreover, when he visited Ning Qiuyue in Tianhe Palace, he also chatted with other little girls for most of the day.

There is already a worm in my heart that is tickling, even if I don't mention that she is Suo Zhongtang's youngest daughter, it must be a mistake for her.

"Well, that's right. Suo Zhongtang is the minister of humerus in the court, and I have to give him some face. Emperor Zhao shook his head and looked very embarrassed. I originally planned to review the folds all night, but the affairs of the harem could not be left alone. Hey, I still have to take some time out to cook. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Grandpa Hai doesn't care what he says, just nod his head in agreement.

"Then call Grandpa Xu in."

"Whoa."

Gonggong Xu bowed forward with a plate.

Flipping the brand is a method and procedure for the emperor to choose a concubine and his room with him in ancient times, each brand represents a concubine, which one the emperor likes, he will turn over the brand, which brand is turned over, and the emperor will be fortunate which concubine.

According to the rules, Suo Qingwu has no brand as a show girl. Because she is not qualified to make a brand, she will always wait for the queen's approval to draw up a new round of list of attendants before letting the eunuchs make a brand.

But this time it was different, and I don't know who meant, in short, Suo Qingwu's brand was generously placed on the plate. And the sign next to her happens to be Concubine Xiao's.

Emperor Zhao naturally went to Suo Qingwu's brand.

But when his eyes crossed, he unsurprisingly saw Concubine Xiao's brand.

Suddenly my heart was not very happy.

Thinking of his grounding Concubine Xiao, he couldn't help but feel a little remorseful. In fact, Concubine Xiao had been getting along with him for a few days a few days ago, and he was also very happy to give her a Western Regions bracelet. It stands to reason that it should be a pleasure between the two lovers, you and me, and the emotions have been further sublimated. But because of the poisoning, he sent the queen into the cold palace and grounded Concubine Xiao. The previous kindness was also cut in two, and it disappeared. Maybe Concubine Xiao is still resentful of herself in the palace at this moment.

Maybe I should take this opportunity to visit and appease her, maybe the two of them can reconcile in a few days. But when I thought of Suo Qingwu's beautiful face, slender and graceful body, and the first ......

He had to dislike Concubine Xiao.

It's okay if you can't see it, after all, you won't be upset.

But since you have seen everything, you can't pretend that you don't see it.

Now it's not okay to choose Concubine Xiao by yourself, nor is it to choose Concubine Xiao.

So he was very irritable, and he started a fire again. "What's going on with this brand! Who put it! ”

Gonggong Xu trembled all over and didn't dare to answer.

Father-in-law Hai saw the clue, and secretly blamed himself in his heart. Oops, why was you so careless and forgot to replace Concubine Xiao's brand first.

So I had the courage to go up and take out Concubine Xiao's brand. "This one is misplaced. Your Majesty, please turn over the cards. ”

Fortunately, Emperor Zhao didn't say where the brand was misplaced, and Gonggong Hai didn't say which brand was misplaced. He quickly hid Concubine Xiao's brand in his sleeve, as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is a suitable one?"

"So be it."

Emperor Zhao said and nodded three times on Suo Qingwu's sign.

"Yes, prince, the minion understands." Gonggong Hai smiled and said to Gonggong Xu: "Go and spread the word Suo Qingwuxiu maid to sleep!" ”
