His Majesty once married me

In Fengqi Palace, Queen Wang looked at the brand-new book on the case table depressedly, but the servant who brought this book to her was trembling with a look of apprehension.

This roster is a list of show girls participating in the re-election.

Three days later, the women on the list will move into the palace and accept the formal selection. What the queen needs to do is to arrange these beautiful women to be selected in the palace designated by His Majesty the Emperor, and then select 24 women who will participate in the final selection. People - can be less, but not more.

Queen Wang was mentally prepared for the fact that there would be newcomers joining the harem, but she never thought that His Majesty the Emperor would "throw" this matter to her to handle.

That's right, it's "lost"!

Having lived in the palace for more than three years, no matter how dull the queen was, she could tell that His Majesty the emperor had no interest in female sex at all.Not to mention the older three concubines, even those maids in the palace who are as fresh as flowers, His Majesty the Emperor would never take a second look at them, and the four female officials with Tong characters around him are all as beautiful as flowers, and all of them are perfect. no time.

Although the Queen had never heard that His Majesty had stayed in the summer palace, and it seemed that she rarely set foot there, the attitude of the palace people was the truth, and it was also the best weather vane in the palace.

Although Pang Zhong, the chief eunuch in charge of the Summer Palace, has no real power and only manages one acre of land in the Summer Palace, he is held up and flattered by the palace people wherever he goes. Calling brothers and brothers, three points of politeness - the chief eunuch in Fengqi Palace doesn't have this kind of treatment!

Of course, this may have a lot to do with the imperial concubine Nine Thousand Years in the Summer Palace who is in charge of His Majesty's internal treasury, but being able to capture the Emperor's purse is enough to show that Nine Thousand Years is in charge of His Majesty's internal treasury. What an unrivaled position in my heart.

Thinking of Ouyang, Queen Wang became more and more depressed.

After staying in the palace for three years, Queen Wang finally understood why her grandmother always emphasized the importance of "early birth".

In the palace, the son is the confidence.

For example, Concubine Gao and Concubine Chen, just because they had sons with them, even if they lowered their stance and kept their sense of proportion, she, the queen, would not dare to take it lightly, let alone treat each other harshly.

It is precisely because having a son is everything, even Concubine Lu, who only has a daughter, never cares about where the emperor spends the night, let alone try to pull the emperor into her palace.

At this time, Queen Wang began to regret why she didn't seize the opportunity to conceive the emperor's heir before Ouyang returned to Beijing.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, and the queen can't turn herself into a man to compete with Ouyang for favor - if she really wants to become a man, there is no need to fight for this favor. Anyway, with or without the emperor's favor, it is impossible for a man to give birth to a child.

What's more, Queen Wang knew very well that the Emperor's refusal to give her a child had nothing to do with Ouyang, the emperor's nine-thousand-year-old husband, but had a lot to do with the Wang family and her grandfather, Wang Ji.

Queen Wang sighed, reached out to pick up the roster, flipped through it from beginning to end, and soon showed a smile.

Queen Wang had also seen the primary selection list, and knew that there were hundreds of outstanding women in that list. Although the list sent to her at this moment looked very thick, each page had only one name, one person, There are no more than 50 in total.

What made Queen Wang even more happy was that none of the two girls sent by the Wang family were on the roster, and they were all eliminated by His Majesty the Emperor.

In this regard, Queen Wang couldn't help gloating a little, and relieved her hatred very much.

In the past three years, Queen Wang and her grandparents have become increasingly estranged.Even if she has begun to agree with some of her grandmother's ideas, it does not mean that she will be at the mercy of her grandmother and the Wang family.

After all, their interests, positions, and even footholds are quite different.

Things that are good for the Wang family are doing her more harm than good.

Queen Wang is well aware of the plan of the Wang family to use other daughters to take her out or even replace her.

It's a pity, or rather, fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor didn't follow the example of the Wang family, and directly cut their salary from the bottom of the pot, cutting off their thoughts.

Queen Wang sneered in her heart, and looked at the roster carefully again, and soon found that the beautiful girls sent by Concubine Chen's family were gone.

Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor is very displeased with this kind of behavior of trying to use his sister and niece to help the concubine and consolidate his favor.

The Gao family, who knew the nature of the emperor, had never done such a thankless thing, and although the Lu family needed another heir more than the other concubines, they did not participate in this year's draft just like the Gao family. The candidate, or other reasons.

The queen thought about it, put down the roster, and said to the servant who brought the roster: "Please tell your majesty, my father-in-law, I will try my best to handle this matter according to your majesty's instructions. It's just that when I get along with your majesty The days are still short, and I don't know much about His Majesty's preferences, so the selected beautiful women may not be able to satisfy His Majesty, why not invite Gao, Chen, and Lu Sanfei to join in and do our best for His Majesty together?"

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with others, and it is not as good to respond alone as everyone!

Anyway, everyone is sitting in the same boat, and I will be unhappy if I fall into the water, and you don't even want to watch the heat on the boat!

Although it is clear that Queen Wang made such a request out of good intentions, but this move does not hinder Qi Yunheng, and considering that it is indeed Queen Wang and the third concubine who will stay with these beautiful ladies in the future, Qi Yunheng feels that Well, choosing a few that make them all feel pleasing to the eye is also a way to ensure harmony in the harem.

Ever since, Qi Yunheng agreed to Queen Wang's request, and issued a decree, ordering the third concubine to assist in the draft and preside over the re-election together with the queen.

When Ouyang heard this, he was speechless for a while.

But Ouyang didn't have time to sympathize with Qi Yunheng's women at the moment, he just slandered in his heart and put the matter aside, and went about what he should do.

On the third day after the announcement of the double-selection list, the former imperial concubine Yan Zhimei was released to the Yan family together with most of the servants who were imprisoned with her. Only a few servants who had disputes with the guards were permanently released. He stayed there and became a scapegoat for the Yan family.

Before Yan Zhimei was released, her father, Yan Yongchang, had already arrived in the capital, worked hard for her affairs, and finally begged His Majesty's forgiveness, allowing her to be pardoned by His Majesty.

In the eyes of those outsiders who don't know the truth, the Yan family's move is really unwise, and the loss outweighs the gain. Instead of taking advantage of the bright future of the eldest son and second son in the family for a distant relative, it is better to break away from this distant relative, or even kill relatives righteously. .

But Yan's family is dumb eating Coptis chinensis, unable to tell what they are suffering.

In a few days, it will be Yan Yongchang's birthday. Originally, he wanted to hold a big event to expand his contacts in Beijing, but now he can't do it. He can only have a family reunion and have a few drinks.

On this day, Yan Yongchang was sitting alone in the study, thinking about where to start to find a turning point for the Yan family, when a member of the family suddenly came to report that it was Mr. Donghuai who came to see him.

This Mr. Donghuai is enshrined by the Yan family, but he is not a staff adviser, but a strange man who is good at divination and face-to-face.

Every important decision of Yan Yongchang is inseparable from this Mr. Donghuai.More than ten years ago, it was also Mr. Donghuai who had exhausted the power of Chengguo, which made Yan Yongchang make up his mind to get out of the muddy water of Chengguo, and then chose the current emperor Your Majesty, let the second son go to seek refuge early, so as to find a way out for the descendants of the family.

Although Yan Zhimei's incident had affected the Yan family, Yan Yongchang felt that the impact had not yet been large enough to alarm Mr. Donghuai, so he did not ask Mr. Donghuai for advice.

Hearing that Mr. Donghuai came over on his own initiative at this moment, Yan Yongchang couldn't help being taken aback, quickly put away his thoughts, and ordered his servants to invite Mr. Donghuai into the study.

Yan Yongchang thought that Yan Zhimei's matter might be more serious than he thought, so he alarmed Mr. Dong Huai and came here to warn him.

However, when he invited someone in to ask, Yan Yongchang was shocked to learn that Mr. Donghuai came to say goodbye.

"But someone in the mansion neglected sir?" Yan Yongchang asked hastily.

Mr. Donghuai has always kept a low profile, and Yan Yongchang didn't want Mr. Donghuai's existence to be known, so only he and his eldest son Yan Zhiwen in the family knew how powerful Mr. Donghuai was. Everyone, including Yan Zhiwu and Yan Zhimei, thought Donghuai was Mr. is just an ordinary diner who accompanies Yan Yongchang for fun.

"Not really." Mr. Dong Huai shook his head resolutely, but then showed hesitation again, as if he had something to say.

After hesitating again and again, Mr. Donghuai finally said: "My master is very benevolent to me, and I have never done anything wrong. It's just that I cherish my life even more. I really don't dare to stay in the mansion of my master. Please let me live."

When Yan Yongchang heard the words, his face immediately changed, "Could it be that my Yan family is going to be in trouble?!"

Mr. Donghuai sighed and nodded again.

Yan Yongchang immediately stood up and bowed to the end, "Sir, save me!"

Mr. Dong Huai shook his head, showing a wry smile, "Master, if there is room for reversing this matter, I don't have to run away."

"Sir, what do you mean... my Yan family is doomed?" Yan Yongchang straightened up and asked in surprise, "But what did my Yan family do that His Majesty could not tolerate, so that..."

"One peck and one drink are all pre-determined." Mr. Donghuai shook his head again, "Looking at the hexagram, this matter has nothing to do with the emperor of this dynasty, but it has something to do with the emperor of the previous dynasty. It's just that... that person has already lost his vitality, but I can't figure it out... Boss, I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Donghuai refused to say more, stood up, and said goodbye to Yan Yongchang.

That night, an extremely strange thing happened in Yan's mansion. All the lights in the whole mansion were suddenly turned off, and there was a dead silence.

Although the night watchman noticed this abnormality, the Yan family just turned off the lights, not a fire, and it was not his turn to meddle in other people's affairs.

The watchman only muttered something in his heart before passing Yan's house and moving on.

In the evening of the next day, the watchman who had slept at home for a whole day came to the yamen to do his work. Only then was he surprised to learn that the servants of the Yan Mansion came to report the case, saying that all the masters of their family disappeared last night. Small, from top to bottom, it's all about not seeing people when they are alive, and not seeing corpses when they are dead.

It was widely rumored that the Yan family had committed a crime and fled overnight, but the watchman remembered the strange things he saw last night, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and shivered.
