At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

At least a little bit to express that you don't have too many ideas, just keep two, don't want more.

However, it was obviously not that easy for Cao Lan to let someone Guo pass the test. She said that she wanted to see for herself how beautiful those two exotic beauties were, so that Guo Peng could get rid of the other 100 others.

Cao Lan didn't think about coming, but she couldn't stop the other concubines in the palace from arguing.

It is definitely because of the instigation of other concubines, not what Cao Lan wanted to do. This point is worth clarifying, and no objection is allowed.

There are not many concubines in Guo Peng's backyard, so far there are only six including Cao Lan.

Cao Lan's position is very stable, the crown prince's position is also very stable, Guo Peng's ability to control the situation is very stable, so the backyard never caught fire, and the concubines respect Cao Lan's status as the main palace.

On the one hand, Guo Peng spared no effort to protect Cao Lan, showing Cao Lan's identity and status as the main palace everywhere.

On the one hand, it is also because the number of people in the harem is really small, and someone Guo can really take care of it, and it is impossible to make a fuss.

Moreover, all of them have children, one or two less, two or three more, taking care of children and educating them usually takes a part of their energy, so they don't have more energy to fight for favor.

It was six or seven years ago that Mr. Guo took a concubine for the last time.

In order to appease the hearts of the Huainan area, he recruited sisters Qiao and Qiao, brought Qiao Rui into the core of the ruling, and achieved his goal.

Since then, Guo Peng's power has basically stabilized, and he no longer needs to win people's hearts through marriage.

So since then, Mr. Guo has not taken any more concubines, and has maintained such a scale. Until now when he is the emperor, the number of wives and concubines is not even as high as many high-ranking officials under his command.

After so many years of living a stable life, they are already used to it, and feel that this life will be so stable and stable, and there is nothing to care about.

But suddenly a group of women from the Western Regions descended on Luoyang. It was said that they were so coquettish and beautiful that Guo Peng was very tempted. He specially asked the senior palace ladies in the inner court to undergo re-education and was ready to let them work with certificates at any time.

This made the concubines take heart.

Among Guo's six wives and concubines, Cao Lan and Mi Zhen are relatively gentle.

One is that they are older and have more senior qualifications. This year is the fourth year of Yande, Cao Lan will be 40 years old in a few months, and Mi Zhen will be 30 years old.

The temperament of the two is relatively soft, and they have been with Guo Peng for a long time, and they are also favored by Guo Peng the most, and they know enough about Guo Peng, so they basically don't fight or grab, and they take this kind of thing relatively lightly, more focus on educating children.

The other four, Xia Houlin, Tian Rou, and sisters Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, are relatively young.

The youngest Xiaoqiao is only 24 years old. Although she is also a mother with children, she definitely hopes to get Guo Peng's love and attention in all aspects.

They are usually a little more noisy and lively, but Guo Peng has to pay more attention to them.

Of course, this is by no means a level of competition for favor.

Guo's strength comes from the inside out, so he is gentler to Cao Lan and Mi Zhen, the two women who have been with him for the longest time.

So the Xiahou family, the Tian family, and the Qiao family all have instructions for their daughters not to act recklessly or make petty tempers, so that they can get more favors.

But in any case, they also long for pampering.

Originally, Guo Peng was not prepared to continue taking concubines, so they could restrain themselves and maintain the status quo, but suddenly their opponents fell from the sky, and they immediately lost their composure.

Although they didn't dare to come to Guo Peng to talk about this matter, they were also afraid that these two Western Region goblins would take away Guo Peng's favor.

Even if each of them has children by their side, but one more competitor naturally means less pampering.

In this boring harem, there are not many things that can be relieved. Some surprises and new gadgets brought to them by Mr. Guo from time to time are their greatest expectations.

Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if those two goblins from the Western Regions took Guo's attention away?

After all, we are sisters in the same trench. If we don't work hard to attack at this time, when will we attack?

So the four of them discussed it, decided to put aside the dispute for the time being, build a united front, and went to Cao Lan together.

Cao Lan sleeps with Guo Peng for a certain amount of time every month, and her son is the crown prince, so if he is in a stable position, he naturally has no thoughts about it.

However, facing the joint request of the four sisters, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, Cao Lan also felt a little embarrassed.

"I heard from people in the palace that those women from the Western Regions are very seductive. No matter how you look at them, they are not serious daughters. They are best at seductive and charming people. They are really not good people. If these women are allowed to get close to His Majesty, they will accuse Nothing is going to happen."

Xiaoqiao is the most active in this matter.

"Although it is not enough to say that the soul is seductive and charming, but women from the Western Regions cannot know the basics, and it is somewhat dangerous. The queen has to pay attention to this matter."

Tian Rou was more reasonable and asked Cao Lan to pay more attention to safety.

Daqiao and Xia Houlin also had the same opinion, saying that Guo Peng should be a little more vigilant from the perspective of safety, and not to fall into the way of those women from the Western Regions so easily.

Those strange women with unknown origins might approach Guo Peng with some intentions. God knows what tricks they have to seduce the soul and hurt Guo Peng's wisdom.

They used words to attack those beauties from the Western Regions, trying to make Cao Lan raise his guard against those women from the Western Regions.

Chapter 980 Nine hundred ninety, Cao Cao hurriedly escaped from Qinzheng Palace

Cao Lan knew exactly what these little sisters were thinking.

Especially Xiaoqiao, the liveliest one, who doesn't talk too much in his head, it's really easy to understand.

Guo Peng often complains to Cao Lan that Xiaoqiao's head is not bright, and she also complains that she is a typical big chest and no brain.

But someone Guo said that he likes this type very much, and he is very tolerant of Xiaoqiao's lack of intelligence, and even feels a little conniving.

That is to say, Daqiao reminds his sister from time to time.

Even so, Xiaoqiao still often expresses his straightforward views, and is not very good at going around in circles.

Such as being unhappy, such as being unhappy, such as being cold or hot, the food is not delicious, and the palace is stuffy and so on.

This is not a big deal, just a trivial matter, but under the premise of Cao Lan asking the harem to "know the general", the women in the harem will pretend that they know the general.

Although I feel bored and boring, sometimes I feel a little lonely, but I don't show it, but show a virtuous and virtuous appearance in front of Cao Lan day after day, reading, writing, talking, watching Juggling or something.

And so the days passed.

Only Xiaoqiao would put forward these opinions, and would make demands in front of Guo Peng, and would not be reprimanded, and sometimes his demands would be somewhat satisfied.

Therefore, Xiaoqiao is easily used by Tian Rou and Xiahoulin as a spearman occasionally, and her sister Daqiao sometimes uses her big-chested and brainless sister as a stormtrooper to express her views.

Cao Lan couldn't laugh or cry at this.

He intended to reprimand them, but was told by Guo Peng to let them keep a channel to vent and let them have a channel to speak their minds, so he deliberately did not reprimand them.

For this matter, from her point of view, she is not worried.

She has been married to Guo Peng for 25 years, and she knows Guo Peng very well.

Except that she and Mi Zhen are no longer charming and beautiful when they are old, these four charming and charming girls are all in their prime, they can be called national beauty. Can a woman confuse his mind?

Cao Lan still knows the appearance of these four goblins.

So Cao Lan didn't believe what they said at all, and she didn't have any worries about it. She could tell at a glance what the four goblins were thinking.

But as a queen, as the emperor's official wife, Cao Lan also has her own power.

According to Wei Law, Cao Lan has the right to speak and decide on the daily aspects of the harem and Guo Peng's concubines.

If Cao Lan has made a decision about the affairs of the harem, Mr. Guo cannot change or question it, otherwise it will shake the Queen's authority over the harem.

If the emperor interferes with the queen's disposal at will, everyone in the harem will think that the queen's decision has no weight.

This will make the queen's situation difficult, and the harem will not be safe.

It is impossible for the emperor to stay in the harem all the time. The emperor had to spend all his energy in the previous court when he fought a lot every day. He came to the harem to rest and relax. How could he deal with problems in the harem?

Therefore, in the harem, there must be a Sea God Needle with the power of life and death, so as to prevent those women from doing anything out of the ordinary in their idle time.

Guo's Dinghaishenzhen is Cao Lan.

Therefore, someone like Guo would never do things like questioning the queen, which shakes the order of superiority and inferiority.

He really didn't have the energy to ask what happened in the harem.

So whenever there is any matter, I will leave it to Cao Lan to handle it. I will inquire occasionally, control it, and see if it is appropriate, and I will not interfere with Cao Lan's decision.

Originally, the number of people in the harem was small, and everyone had been together for so many years, and they were familiar with each other. The candidate for the crown prince had already been determined, and everyone who was damned gave up their hearts, so Mr. Guo's backyard was quite harmonious.

In this matter, if Cao Lan did not agree with those women from the Western Regions, and did not stamp the Queen's seal on the edict to accept them, and followed the formal procedures, then Guo would not be able to give these women any title.

If you really want to, let the personal eunuchs raise them secretly.

It's the same as raising a third and fourth child, sneaking around, not seeing the light, and then looking for an opportunity to secretly have fun, there is no other way.

Just like Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he was even bullied by the queen and ran away from home.

If Cao Lan was stronger, just to keep Guo from being happy, and to control Guo's lower body everywhere, then Guo had no choice but to admit defeat, because he set up the queen.

This is Cao Lan's power as a queen and empress.

Obviously, Xiaoqiao and the others intend to use Cao Lan's prestige and power to defend their qualifications to be favored, and prevent more people from coming to share their favor.

Cao Lan didn't want to intervene in this kind of thing at first, but seeing the four younger sisters (demons) and younger sisters (spirits) pleading for herself to stand up and speak, she thought it was fine.

Everyone in the harem of the Great Wei Empire was not allowed to come in. The minimum requirement was to be innocent, and those with unknown origins and intentions were not even considered.

Who knows whether these women from the Western Regions simply came to serve Guo Peng, or whether there are some ulterior secrets they want to achieve in the Wei Palace.

This is very important.

Moreover, Cao Lan had to declare that this was definitely not what she meant, and she herself had no objection to Guo Peng's continued concubinage.

It's just that the little sisters (demons) and sisters (spirits) are ignorant.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and have a look, but don't think too much, if His Majesty insists, I won't stop it."

Cao Lan vaccinated them in advance.

The four immediately nodded happily.

So Cao Lan immediately went to Guo Peng.

It happened that Guo Peng had discussed some things with Cao Cao at that time, and then asked Cao Cao how the women from the Western Regions felt.

Cao Cao was a famous hungry ghost in court. Cheng Yu couldn't get used to Cao Cao's wives and concubines. Back then, Cui Yan also couldn't get used to Cao Cao. He thought that he lacked personal morality, and he had impeached Cao Cao. .

Originally, Guo Peng wanted to have further communication with Cao Cao, but Cao Lan arrived in time, and the two had no choice but to clean up their faces and put away their wretched expressions.

"Brother? You are here too? It seems that I came at the wrong time?"

Cao Lan looked at Guo Peng and Cao Cao with a smile.

Seeing Cao Lan coming, Cao Cao immediately stood up.

"No, no, I have already discussed the government affairs with His Majesty, so Your Majesty, Queen, and I will leave."

"Brother, won't you sit down for a while?"

Cao Lan looked at Cao Cao: "I heard that Your Majesty has sent many beauties from the Western Regions to Eldest Brother. Eldest Brother, you must pay attention to your body. Eldest Brother is 50 years old after all, so you must pay attention to your body. Don't let anything happen to you. It's hard to call a sister-in-law."

What Cao Lan said made Cao Cao a little dazed, and his expression was not quite right.

So Cao Cao looked at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng turned his face away and didn't look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed immediately.

"Hehehe, that, I thank the queen for her concern, I will pay attention to my body and not let the queen worry."

"Okay, brother, send my greetings to Sister-in-law for me, and I will invite Sister-in-law to the palace to talk some other day."

Cao Lan was still smiling.

Cao Cao swallowed.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister retires."

So, Cao Cao hurriedly escaped from the Palace of Qinzheng.

Then Cao Lan looked at Su Yuan next to Guo Peng with unfriendly eyes.

Su Yuan felt the gaze from the queen, and immediately understood what Cao Lan meant.

"Your Majesty, queen, the old slave is waiting outside. If your majesty and the queen have anything to do, just call the old slave, and the old slave will come in immediately."

After finishing speaking, Su Yuan decisively left the Hall of Qinzheng, closed the door of the hall, and guarded Guo Peng and Cao Lan at the door of the hall. No one was allowed to approach at this moment, lest the private conversation between the emperor and the empress be known.

So only Guo Peng and Cao Lan were left in the study of Qinzheng Hall.

"What's the matter? Look like a teacher asking a crime, who provoked you?"

Guo Peng stood up smiling, walked to Cao Lan's side, and held Cao Lan's hand.
