The conversation at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet lasted for a long time in the capital, the first was the position of the third concubine, the invisible suppression of the Queen Mother. The second is that the emperor supported Concubine Ming, personally brought the eldest prince to the banquet, and left with the mother and son after the banquet.

The confrontation is intangible, but the result is tangible.

After the queen mother's banquet, both the former dynasty and the harem entered a period of calm, during which she received several good news, first Song Jinxuan gave birth to a son, Song Yexi gave birth to a daughter, Song Lirong, who married far away in Yucheng, also gave birth to a child early, and Song Hongjiao was also pregnant.

Song Yunzhao is very happy, the continuation of a family is to have a small life born, she first prepared a gift for Song Jinxuan, because Song Jinxuan is far away in the south, so this gift will be delivered with the congratulatory gift of the Song family.

Then there is Song Yexi, Song Yexi married in the capital, and when the child was full moon, she asked people to send a set of gold locks with red gold inlaid treasures, gold bracelets and other things, and also sent Song Yexi a box of medicinal materials to replenish the body, as well as a set of tortoiseshell jewelry from the south, which is not very valuable, but the style is very fresh.

It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and Feng Zhen is already crawling fast all over the house, and he can't leave people around him for a moment. Yun Zhao and Concubine Shu are in charge of various matters in the harem, and there are more things in the coming year, and the New Year's banquet has to prepare gifts from the emperor to the various mansions, and the courtiers are naturally ordered by the Taiji Palace, but it is the harem that prepares for the wife.

Concubine Shu is used to doing it, and there are old examples in previous years, but Yun Zhao felt quite fresh when he first came into contact with him, and he learned a lot from Concubine Shu.

This year's New Year's banquet is still lively, Song Yunzhao thought that the Queen Mother was going to make some small moves again, but he didn't expect that this year was very easy, and the Queen Mother seemed to have put out the fire.

The New Year's banquet was celebrated, Song Yunzhao took his son to accompany Feng Yi, and the other concubines naturally went back to their respective palaces, and the queen mother did not let the emperor go to Shouci Palace to accompany him.

Feng Zhen was a child, and when he was too late, he was so sleepy that he closed his eyes, and Mama Qi took him back to settle down.

Only Yun Zhao and Feng Yi were left in the hall, and Meng Jiuchang retreated with others.

The candle flame crackled, and Song Yunzhao's smiling eyes at Shang Feng Yi slowly turned red, and when the fireworks exploded in mid-air, Song Yunzhao was pressed by Feng Yi in the tent to death.

This year's celebration is indeed a bit unusual.

After the Shangyuan Festival after the New Year, the court returned to the normal rhythm of work, and Yun Zhao also had to start the draft here.

The department presiding over the draft is the household department, and the selection range is naturally all over the country, as long as the women who meet the age, are in good health and have no disabilities, they can participate in the selection, and they are selected from the prefectures and counties at the level of each country, and the best and most beautiful are selected and sent to the capital.

At the beginning of the year, the household department went to the excerpt to ask for the draft, and after the emperor's permission, the decree was issued to various places.

Parents and officials across the country will select local women who meet the requirements to participate in the election, among which the outstanding ones will be sent to the prefectures for another selection, and the local prefects will send the selected show girls to the capital after selection.

After being sent to the capital, the household will select again and select excellent women to wait for them to enter the palace to read.

Only women who can enter the palace are qualified to enter the eyes of the concubine and make the final choice.

It's not a five-level kill, it's also quite competitive.

After listening to the whole process, Song Yunzhao felt that he had really taken advantage of the election campaign at the beginning, and the process was simplified a lot.

Since the opening of the draft by the household department, there have been many people in and outside the palace, especially Yun Zhao can feel that atmosphere even more, after all, she is now the top seat in the harem, and everyone wants to pull her down and step on her to win the favor.

Before the draft, Song Yunzhao expected her reaction, but when it did, she found herself calm.

This kind of calm surprised her.

The three-year draft, this is just the first three years after she enters the palace, and there will be many more three years in the future.

Xu is Yunzhao is too calm, she can feel that Feng Yi's mood seems to be very bad, but every time she looks at him, he will pretend that nothing is wrong.

Song Yunzhao didn't understand it at first, but then he slowly understood.

As the show girls from all over the country entered Beijing one after another, Song Yunzhao felt that he was being held in the tent by Feng Yi for longer and longer nights.

Song Yunzhao already understood what he was messing with, but she just didn't cooperate, and would rather fight with him in the tent at night than take the initiative to give in.

Although Feng Yi's voice in the court has increased greatly, and the emperor's majesty is growing, he can't stop the draft now.

Besides, Song Yunzhao is not sure what Feng Yi thinks in his heart, whether he has the idea of not wanting to be drafted.

The two of them suddenly entered a strange period inexplicably.

Concubine Shu saw that something was wrong, and came over with the roster of show girls this day, looking at Song Yunzhao's face was not good, and there were big dark circles under her eyes, thinking that she couldn't sleep at night because of the draft.

Concubine Shu, as a person who came over, looked at Yun Zhao and persuaded her, "You have the body of the eldest prince, even if someone enters the eyes of the emperor, he can't suppress you for a while, what are you afraid of?" ”

Song Yunzhao: ......

Thank you, I was not comforted, but felt connotated.

Song Yunzhao also felt that her anger was inexplicable, but she couldn't disperse, obviously she thought clearly, and she also had a tacit understanding with Feng Yi, but it was just awkward.

Song Yunzhao actually knew, because he was starting to care.

Half a year ago, she wouldn't think about it like this, she would be selected in the draft, she could still hit her face, what happened to the newcomer entering the palace?

She's not afraid.

She's still not afraid, but she doesn't feel the same anymore.

Before the draft, Feng Yi's first birthday is coming, and Feng Yi wants to hold a big first birthday banquet, so the palace will prepare for this matter first.

Feng Zhen is one year old, and he can already walk on his own, although he is not very steady, but this is a very energetic child, and he is reluctant to let him hold him since he can walk on his own legs.

The dress to be worn at the first birthday banquet, even if he was only one year old, the Liushang Bureau did not dare to ignore it, and he made five or six trips to make clothes, and made more than a dozen sets of clothes inside and out, Song Yunzhao felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

The people from the Clothing Bureau said that this was nothing at all, because the eldest prince was young and could easily get his clothes dirty, so he had to make a few more sets of spares.

Song Yunzhao felt that it made sense, there were regulations in the palace, and she would not change anything easily. The original manager of the Clothing Bureau was not very harmonious with her, but since beating Yun Zhao, she has risen higher and higher, and the two have been peaceful. At the end of last year, the steward was transferred, and the newly appointed steward was very concerned about the affairs of Yaohua Palace, whether it was the New Year's banquet dress or the new spring clothes, she was very satisfied.

"Look at this." Concubine Shu pushed the notebook in her hand forward, looked at Song Yunzhao and said.

"What is this?" Song Yunzhao looked at the roster that was not the first birthday banquet, nor the roster of the draft, and looked at Concubine Shu suspiciously.
