An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

"Whoever hears the name, respond. Guar Jiawen Yuan." Su Peisheng held a detailed list in his hand and read aloud.

"Eunuch, here we are." The woman in green clothes in the front row responded seductively. At first glance, she was indeed unparalleled in beauty.

Zhen Huan lowered her eyebrows and smiled, Shen Meizhuang was very interested, and An Lingrong's thoughts moved.

"Guar Jiawen Yuan", isn't this "Gua Liu"?

The nickname Gua Liu comes from the homophonic transliteration of her name. Her original name was ugly, hard to remember, and difficult to write. In the previous life, the concubines called her Gua Liu. She was a bad guy, very beautiful, and had a snake-scorpion heart. She was despicable. She is better than Concubine Hua, but her thoughts are not as arrogant and domineering as Concubine Hua, which is written all over her face. Once she entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, and was named Qi Noble. She was used by the queen and almost killed Zhen Huan.

The emperor was really attracted to her. He saw that her face was full of collagen, so tender that you could pinch water from it. Her beautiful eyes were affectionate and full of sadness and resentment. Her glance, every move of her hands, every move of her feet, and her rippling figure were all... The emperor stared at her for a while, and the queen looked happy when she heard Su Peisheng continue reading.

"Tongjia's kapok." "Majia's Nanxi." "Suochuoluo's Ximin." "Hesheli's Bingsiyu."

"Fucha's family Shi Luo." "Nala's..."

Every time Su Peisheng read a name, the emperor raised his head and glanced at it, still casually. An Lingrong couldn't help but feel strange, and Zhen Huan's face beside him didn't look good either.

An Lingrong whispered: "Sister Wan, Sister Mei, do you see anything unusual?"

Xia Ruchun said suspiciously: "Sister An, I also think these are the people arranged by the queen. Why are they so strange?"

Zhen Huan nodded and said: "The selection in the palace is divided into Han Army Banner and Manchu Army Banner. This time, the women invited by the Emperor to enter the palace are all Manchu Army Banners. This is unfair to Han Army Banner. The Queen is taking advantage of the Emperor It’s loose, the emperor didn’t want to have a draft like this, the queen selected all the women with the eight major surnames in Manchuria into the palace.”

Zhen Huan is right. The surnames that Eunuch Su just read: such as Guarjia, Tongjia, Fucha, Majia, Hesheli, Nala, and Suochuoluo are all Manchu surnames. The eight most prominent surnames in the military flag.

The Queen smiled brightly and said: "Your Majesty, which one do you think you are most satisfied with? Among the four nobles to be promoted in the draft, who do you think is the most suitable for the positions of Qi noble, Xiang noble, Fu noble and Rui noble? "

The emperor shook the Buddhist beads on his hand and said loudly: "Su Peisheng, bring me the list and show it to me."

The emperor said to the names of the first four women on the list: "Queen, let's go with the first four! They will be promoted to Qi, Xiang, Fu and Ruigui respectively. As for which palace to live in, the queen can decide .”

The queen's expression changed and she said: "Your Majesty, you can't be so general. Look at this. Nala's Shumin is a woman with a clever mind. She once..."

The emperor interrupted the queen and said: "Then, "Nala's Shumin" will replace "Southuoluo's Ximin" and become a noble person.

As a result, there were four new nobles, namely:

Qi Guiren: "Guar Jiawen Yuan" - nicknamed "Gua Liu".

Xianggui: "Tongjia's kapok."

Fuguiren: "Ma Jia's Nanxi."

Ruigui said: "Nala's Shumin."

The Queen asked cautiously and expectantly: "Then Your Majesty, please choose a few more to be ennobled as permanent ones!"

The emperor shook his head and said: "That's enough. The queen agreed at the time that there would only be four. Now there are forty-eight, and I can't handle them. Take a look at their specialties. Those who can embroider will send some to the embroidery academy. Laundry, music department, etc., the Queen arranges by herself."

The queen nodded and said: "Your Majesty has discernment, these four nobles are considered the four most outstanding among this group of people. The newly promoted nobles also need personal maids and maids to serve in the palace, but these people are staying at home. A lady whose fingers have never been touched by the beauty of youth, has a good looks and a background, but she is overqualified."

The emperor tightened his grip on the prayer beads in his hand and said, "If they don't want to stay, just ask them to leave the palace and then choose a good family to marry. They don't have to stay in the palace."

After the emperor said this, he was about to stand up and leave. The queen stopped him again and said, "Your Majesty, where does the new nobleman live?"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Concubine Hui from Xianfu Palace has moved out to Junhui Palace. Can we ask one to live with Concubine Jing in Xianfu Palace? In addition, concubine Wan from Suiyuxuan has moved to Tangli Palace. We can arrange it." One can live in Suiyuxuan, no, two can be arranged to live in Suiyuxuan. Chungui has given birth to a daughter and should not be disturbed. Chungui should move to the "Zhu'an Palace" in the new palace in the future. There are three here Now, the remaining queen can make her own arrangements. She can live in the queen’s Jingren Palace, Concubine Qi’s Changchun Palace, Concubine Li’s Zhaoyang Palace, or Cao Guiren’s Xuanxiu Palace. These are all fine. You can make your own arrangements. .”

The queen looked startled and looked at the emperor's back. It took a long time to catch her breath. She quickly ordered people to dismiss these beautiful ladies. Among these nobles, Qi Guiliu was the most beautiful. Look at her appearance. She was also smart, so the queen gave Qi Guiren a separate palace for her to live in.

Gua Liuqi was given the "Chu Xiu Palace" that was rebuilt after the disaster. Gua Liu heard that she had a separate palace to live in, while the other three had to live in the palace with other concubines. She couldn't help but smile. With a delicate smile, she thanked you and said, "Thank you very much for your grace, the Queen. I will obey your orders and abide by the palace rules."

The queen smiled slightly and said: "No need to thank me. Serving the emperor well is an expression of gratitude to me. By the way, the emperor said that tonight, you will be sent to the Yangxin Hall to serve you. Aunt Fangruo will go there later." Chu Xiugong will teach you etiquette, so remember not to make even the slightest mistake."

Gualiu nodded in agreement.

An Lingrong looked at the other concubines in the palace, and most of them had different expressions, each with their own thoughts. The Chuxiu Palace given to Gualiu by the queen once lived in Xin Changzai, and Xin Changzai and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs The fight between Huang Guiquan and Huang Guiquan was fierce. The two had a private meeting in the palace and even arranged to elope. Unfortunately, Huang Guiquan suddenly changed his mind. How could Liu know about it?

Gua Liu looked at the queen's benevolent features and wanted to be attached to the queen, so he was naturally attracted by her words.

The emperor is most likely feeling uncomfortable. Among so many women, not one of them is a member of the Han army. The queen's selfishness is written all over her face! But he didn't expose the queen on the spot, he just dealt with her perfunctorily. It's not that easy for the queen to use these women to gain her favor. The emperor will decentralize power, check and balance, and will not let one family dominate.

An Lingrong gradually relaxed her mind, and the one who could stir up trouble was probably Gua Liu. Zhen Huan suffered miserably in the previous life. If he could win her over and rebel against her in this life, that would be the best. If not, it would be impossible to prevent him!

An Lingrong couldn't help but glance out the window. At this time, Qin Sanyue was sleeping on the cordon above the city wall like a night owl, dangling with his sword in his arms and taking a nap!
