The emperor only thought that Xianglan was humble, and asked, "May I ask Xia Immortal, does the queen really have the fate to become an immortal?"

Junxia replied, "Probably not." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The emperor asked inexplicably: "Then why does the fairy take a fancy to her again?"

Xianglan explained: "Your Majesty, you always say that you are an immortal, even I am not an immortal, who will know if the queen can become an immortal? Xia Gongzi will naturally say that the queen should have no immortal fate!"

The emperor seems to be bent on fulfilling her beloved queen, wanting her to live forever, at the age of eighteen, with eternal youth and beauty, and said: "May I ask Mr. Xia, can the queen really go with you?"

Junxia said, "If she is willing, you are willing to fulfill her." It's nothing to go with us, it's just that we are not married, and after she goes to us, her marriage with the emperor will not be recognized, can you accept it?"

The emperor asked rhetorically, "Then will you allow her to come back often?"

Junxia said: "It may not be possible at first, she has a lot to learn, and she won't have so much time to come back to see you often." Of course, it's okay to come back once or twice once in a while to see you. ”

He continued: "In two years she will be able to arrange it herself, and then he will have more time for himself. At that time, if she wants to come back, she will be able to come back to see you. ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately said to his mother: "Mother, the sons and daughters are eager to become the queen, please ask the queen mother for permission!"

With such an opportunity, the Empress Dowager wanted to seize it for the Empress, but said: "Your Majesty, are you really willing to let the Empress leave you? Don't you love her very much?"

The emperor immediately replied: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters want to fulfill her because they love her very much." Erchen can't let her lose such a rare opportunity because of her own selfishness!"

Seeing that the emperor had made up her mind, the queen mother asked, "Empress, are you willing to follow the immortals?"

The queen thought about it for a long time, and she already had an idea in her heart, and replied: "After returning to my mother, my sons and daughters are reluctant to give up the emperor, and they want to grow old with the emperor!"

At this time, the emperor became anxious, and said impatiently: "Queen, how can you be so short-sighted, you look farther, look farther!"

At this time, Guan Mou, the former minister behind the emperor, opened his mouth and reminded: "Empress Qiyu, the future of the Brilliant Kingdom depends on you! The future of the Queen Mother depends on you! The future of the emperor depends on you!"

He deliberately accentuated his tone again, and said in a slightly longer tone: "All--all---you--" The ministers echoed the best of the best, and they all shouted in unison: "It's all up to you!"

In fact, the queen mother, like the emperor, in addition to thinking about the queen, also secretly pinned hopes on her in her heart, but it was inconvenient for her to express it. She understands that things have to be done step by step, and she can't be like a three-year-old child, who can go straight and not worry about the depths.

Seeing that the queen bowed her head and was silent, the queen mother said: "Queen, for the sake of the future of the bright country, you should let go of your personal feelings for the emperor!"

Seeing that the queen mother had said that, the queen had no choice but to say: "The sons and daughters obey the will of the queen mother!"

At this time, the minister of Naguan said loudly: "Congratulations to the queen for becoming an immortal! Congratulations to the queen for becoming an immortal!" The ministers and celebrities followed closely and echoed again.

Seeing that, Xianglan explained: "Queen, after selecting talents for a while, you will be ready to prepare, except for particularly commemorative items, you don't have to carry anything." The queen seemed to reluctantly respond "yes".

Seeing that the big thing had come to an end, although the emperor was reluctant, he was sincerely happy for the queen. He said: "By the way, we only care about talking, and we still have to choose talented people!"

The caring secretary said: "The minister's order!"

The emperor said again: "Immortals, come, please sit here!"

So a group of people followed the emperor and the queen mother to sit on the wooden chairs on the left. The emperor sat on Xianglan's right, Junxia sat on her left, and the ministers and celebrities stood behind her.

Ai Qingxing went to Taichung and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, and the election will begin!"

Suddenly, the sound of drums, gongs, flutes, and the sound of gold and stone played in unison, and the rhythm was brisk. Slowly, some young and beautiful women danced from both sides of the back stage, and the movements seemed to be light and hidden, and the dancing posture was fluttering.

After all the talented women came out, the emperor introduced: "Xia Immortal, Xianglan Fairy, there are a total of 60 candidate talented women here, which were selected from tens of thousands of women by local celebrities and court officials after the second election of the local and capital half a year ago. ”

He continued: "They studied dance and etiquette in the palace for five months, and before that they could recite poems and compose, and some could paint. I intend that if I like them, I will choose one or three of them as concubines, and then ten or twenty as talented people, and give them the title of local official for the benefit of the people. ”

Xianglan praised: "The emperor is wise, I didn't expect that a woman could also become an administrative official in the Bright Country!"

Xianglan's praise made the emperor very happy, and he continued: "I have been on the throne for three years, and since last year, I have appointed a total of eighteen local female officials, all of whom were selected last year. ”

Xianglan asked inexplicably: "Since the emperor doesn't choose talented people to stay by his side, why does he have to take the appearance of the flower and the moon as the premise?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Actually, it's not, talented people are the people around me, but they were sealed by me." Anyone who is selected as a talented person will be awarded the title of Wupin Local Administrative Officer. Those with outstanding abilities will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. ”

continued: "These talented people return to the palace at least once a year, report to me in person, and are taken care of by special people in the palace. ”

Jun Xia boasted: "Your Majesty, are you very good at using resources!"

The emperor smiled again: "I grew up in the palace since I was young, and when the emperor was in power, many female officials in the palace had no real duties and were leisurely all day long. From the time I was thirteen years old, I secretly resolved that when I inherited the throne, I would improve it. ”

Xianglan had another opinion, she said: "Your Majesty, although you have improved, but the improvement is not complete, since you have sealed the local female officials, why do you want them to become your siders?"

After hearing this, the emperor immediately said: "Last year was just an experiment, and it has been improved step by step. Today's fairy mentioned that the improvement should be more thorough, so I will be more thorough this year, so that the talented people selected this year will become real local female officials, and they will be free to marry. ”

The emperor's words made Xianglan listen very comfortably.

At this time, the collective large-scale palace dance in Taichung had been danced, and the sixty candidate women saluted in unison: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, see the queen mother, see the queen, and see all the immortals!"

The emperor said: "All talented women are exempt!" and said to Xianglan: "Fairy, why don't you ask a question and let them answer it?"

Xianglan replied, "Yes, yes." And asked aloud, "May I ask all the talented women, does anyone know why the sun came out of the east?"

Such a question was very unexpected to them, and it turned them all down at once.

Seeing this, Xianglan said: "You can use your imagination, and the answers can be varied. -- Please raise your hand and answer. ”

After a long time, a talented woman in the middle of the front row raised her right hand, and Xianglan said, "Please ask this talented woman who raised her hand to come forward and answer." ”

The woman walked lightly to the front of the group. Xianglan looked closely, she was about 1.68 meters tall, with a graceful posture, and her face was like a peach blossom and her eyebrows were like willows.

Xianglan liked it very much and said, "Please don't be reserved, answer boldly!"

The woman replied, "Because the immortals set the sun to come out of the east, the sun naturally does not come out of the west." ”

After hearing this, Junxia clapped his hands and praised: "That's a great answer!"
