33. Cast a pot to choose a concubine

As he spoke, Xiao Heting also picked up a cup of tea from the case, and saluted Pei Shangyu very respectfully, but Pei Shangyu did not reach out to take it.

Xiao Heting was very embarrassed to hold the cup of tea, he didn't put it, and he didn't continue to hold it, and the atmosphere fell into an embarrassment for a while.

After a while, Pei Shangyu reached out and took the cup of tea, took a sip and said leisurely: "Your Majesty knows it, and naturally you won't blame Your Majesty." ”

Listening to Pei Shangyu's words, Xiao Heting's hand grabbed his clothes, and then let go: "Yes, Mr. is generous." ”

Listening carefully to his words, he could still hear a little reluctance, but Pei Shangyu didn't care, he and Xiao Heting were pretending to be confused at this time.

No one will puncture anyone, after all, they are now in a relationship of mutual use and need.

"So, sir, what do you think these women should do?"

Xiao Heting brought the words to the draft, he couldn't return them, he put them in the palace, and he looked at it himself, he always felt that these women entered the palace to spy on him.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

"Since you can't choose it, it's better to vote for it, Your Majesty will go back, and those old ministers are not satisfied, they are all accepted, Your Majesty is not satisfied, so pick a few, and take care of Your Majesty."

Pei Shangyu's method is not bad, Xiao Heting has also thought about it before, pick two at random, but this pick is not random, and the front and harem must also be balanced.

I saw Pei Shangyu raise his hand and pointed at a few people at random: "Chief Lao Fuchun wrapped their names around the arrows, and His Majesty will choose whichever one he hits." ”

His seemingly random movements, but when you look closely, they are not casual, and the few women you clicked on are also particular about their family backgrounds and appearances, which shows how deep his grasp of the ministers of the court is in his heart.

Guan Chun thought about it and ordered the clerk on the side to copy down their names, and then he personally stepped forward to wrap the arrows, and respectfully raised the arrows with both hands: "Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Heting nodded slightly, picked up the arrow with one hand, and a little eunuch came over and put a pitcher not far away, the neck of the pot was seven inches long, the diameter was two and a half inches, the pot was one foot two inches high, the capacity was five liters, and the ampulla was five inches.

It seems simple, but for Xiao Heting, who is not good at martial arts, he has never hit this pitcher once, and if the arrow misses, it will save trouble.

He raised his hand, looked at the mouth of the pot, and threw it hard, only to hear a clang, and the arrow turned around in the pot and stopped steadily, making Xiao Heting, who had never been hit, a little stunned.

Pei Shangyu sat aside and chuckled: "It seems that this girl has a deep fate with His Majesty. ”

The little eunuch bowed forward and took out the arrows, untied the entangled red thread and read out a name: "Xue Yuefang, the daughter of Doctor Guanglu." ”

Xiao Heting's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, but Pei Shangyu opened his mouth and said, "Yes, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"If the gentleman says yes, it's good."

To him, these women are all the same, and none of them are what he likes anyway.

In the back, Xiao Heting had five empty arrows and hit two, their fathers were all important ministers in the court, and they were still old ministers who were working against Pei Shangyu, but Pei Shangyu didn't say anything more.

No one thought that Xiao Heting's first choice of concubines would be selected in such an absurd way.

After solving the matter of choosing a concubine, Guan Chun led people to take down the pitcher, and retreated to the outside of the Ideological and Political Palace, and only Xiao Heting and Pei Shangyu were left in the hall for a moment.

The two sat opposite each other, Xiao Heting's face relaxed, but he didn't expect that as soon as Pei Shangyu came, he solved one thing, and put it here for him, but it was very tricky.

"Sir, don't you ask what happened in the court during this time?"

In the silence, Xiao Heting was the first to ask, Pei Shangyu on the other end was playing with a wolf pen in his hand, his face was not obvious, there was no sadness or joy, and he couldn't see any expression.

"Didn't Your Majesty solve it well? If you ask again, isn't you blaming Your Majesty for doing something bad? ”

Hearing Xiao Heting's words, Pei Shangyu raised his eyes to look at him, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Xiao Heting couldn't understand, in fact, in Xiao Heting's opinion, he had always been very curious about one thing.

Pei Shangyu, who was just an inconspicuous clerk beside his father, how did he climb to this position.

It is true that there is a reason for his mother, who took him out of the palace and pushed him to the court with one hand, but his own growth was too fast, so fast that none of them expected it.

It was as if he had been born into the royal family since he was a child, and these things had been carved into his bone marrow.

"Sir is my husband, and he has taught me before, what can Sir say bluntly."

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Heting's lips, and his attitude was also very sincere.

When Pei Shangyu first became prime minister, Lan Xueyi asked Xiao Heting to recognize Pei Shangyu as a gentleman, and he taught Xiao Heting to learn, the art of scheming or the affairs of the court.

In the past, Pei Shangyu and Xiao Heting and Lan Xueyi were tightly tied together, Lan Xueyi gave Pei Shangyu the opportunity to go to the court, and Pei Shangyu wanted to protect her and Xiao Heting.

It's just that now they are not, but they are helping each other because of interests, to be precise, it should be Lan Xueyi and Xiao Heting who need Pei Shangyu's help.

"The affairs of the court and the harem are things that Your Majesty should measure, and Your Majesty wants to be in power, which is a test for Your Majesty."

Pei Shangyu didn't say anything else, just put the facts in front of him clearly.

In terms of Xiao Heting's current situation, if Pei Shangyu gave him the power in his hand, he was afraid that the Southern Dynasty would not be long before it was destroyed, but Pei Shangyu never thought of giving him this right.

He climbed to this position, how long he walked, how long he planned, how could he give it out easily, besides, what he wanted to do was not done.

"Now that Your Majesty's matter is settled, it's time for Benxiang to go back."

As he spoke, Pei Shangyu was about to stand up, but Xiao Heting stopped him and said, "Sir, are you still angry with me because of what happened before?" ”

Looking at his posture, how do you feel that he wants to go back, and then continue not to come to the early court on the grounds of being infected with the wind and cold?

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

He has never been angry because of inconsequential people, and the only one who can affect his emotions at present is Cheng Yiwan.

"It won't be long before the ceremony after the sealing, this matter was previously in charge of Mr., and those who took over did not know the situation as Mr. did, so Mr. might as well stay in the palace today for dinner, so that he could talk to me about this matter."

Xiao Heting then stood up and walked over and stretched out his hand to stop Pei Shangyu, if he let Pei Shangyu leave this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to invite him next time, so he had to persuade Pei Shangyu to stay no matter what today.

"Oh? Isn't Your Majesty not interested in the post-sealing ceremony? ”

Listening to Pei Shangyu's sarcastic words, Xiao Heting's ears turned red: "After all, I will also be my queen in the future, and I should care about it." ”。

Even if he doesn't like Han Huazhu anymore and doesn't like this woman arranged by Pei Shangyu, she will eventually become his wife and the mother of the country in the Southern Dynasty.
