Chapter 28: The Concubine's Roster

Xia Yichen finally punished Qin Guifei and grounded her in Yonghe Palace for a month.

This punishment is not light.

But compared to what Qin Guifei did, it was not too important.

He made such a decision mainly under the weight of Qin Guifei's family power.

Whether it is Mu Huayin or Qin Guifei, they represent not only themselves, but also the entire family behind them.

Excessive punishment is equivalent to slapping their family in the face.

Besides, Qin Guifei was pulled up by him.

Just as in the middle of the court, Mu and Qin are mutually balanced, and the harem cannot be left alone to dominate.

Only in this way can he sit comfortably on the throne.

Thinking of the situation between the DPRK and China, Xia Yichen felt a little bored, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a moment before standing up.

"Drive to Fengqi Palace."

At the same time, in the Fengqi Palace, Mu Huayin was reading the letter sent by her mother-in-law Zhou to the palace.

This time, she squeezed Qin Guifei down, and her prime minister's father was very satisfied.

The officials who came to Beijing to send their daughter into the palace almost stepped on the threshold of Mu Mansion in the past few days.

Mu Youcheng, don't be surprised with a little courtesy, the little girl will please.

Mu Youcheng, be careful to show respect, and there will be heavy thanks after the deed.

What's more, Mu Youcheng, you will definitely be loyal to you in the future, and let you drive.

As an official in the DPRK, it is very important to stand in line, and the Mu family is already the first thigh in the DPRK, of course, you have to hold it well.

After Zhou praised her in the letter, he did not forget to remind her to take advantage of the emperor's favor and give birth to a concubine for the emperor as soon as possible to ensure that her grace will not fade.

To be able to sit in the prominent position of the harem, most of them rely on family power, but if you want to keep the status of the harem, you have to rely on personal means.

It's a pity that Mu Huayin is not interested in these.

Along with the letter, there was a booklet and a package.

She opened the booklet, and saw that from left to right there were written the ranks and candidates of the harem from the fifth grade and above, which was exactly the list of concubines she needed now.

There are many grades of concubines in the palace, and the ones in the back can pick some pleasing ones to fill in on the day of the palace election, but the first few grades have to be cautious, and they have to be discharged first, and then presented to the emperor for inspection.

Now that Qin Guifei is grounded in the palace, she is naturally in charge of the list of concubines.

Mu Huayin looked at the unfamiliar names on the roster and threw them into the wastepaper basket on the table.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, and picked it up again.

This kind of internal list, after all, is something that can't be taken from the dark side, so naturally it can't be thrown away so casually.

So she tucked the roster under a thick stack of books.

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall, "The emperor has arrived." ”

As soon as Mu Huayin heard the word "emperor", her originally lazy mind suddenly became energetic.

The leader came, and naturally it was time for her dog-legged to take up her post.

She hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Did you have lunch? Should I eat it together if I haven't eaten it? What would you like to eat? ”

Xia Yichen glanced at her smiling face, "I don't want to eat it now." ”

"Oh." Mu Huayin's smiling face suddenly pulled down.

If you don't want to eat, what are you doing in a hurry?

Isn't this disturbing someone else eating?

Feeling the change in someone's expression, the corners of Xia Yichen's mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.

"If you want to eat, I can eat with you."

"Okay, you wait, the concubine will let people prepare."

Seeing her happily pop out of the hall, the smile on the corner of Xia Yichen's mouth couldn't help but deepen.

He was about to sit down.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the long case in the hall.

The desk was covered with paper, pens were thrown aside, and there were piles of books thrown around, which looked rather messy.

Could it be that his queen usually reads and writes?

Xia Yichen had a trace of curiosity in his heart, so he walked to the front of the case.
