Wear it to a club in another world

The new emperor obviously relied heavily on his uncle, and he had to ask Lu Zhen for his opinion on any major decisions. Even if he was in the court, he would never put on airs to Lu Zhen, and he was very respectful.He even offered to add a chair to Lu Zhen in the hall so that he could sit in court in the future, but Lu Zhen rejected it.

The emperor was quite upset that Lu Zhen didn't agree, so he asked him why, but Lu Zhen didn't speak, and the ancient Taoist smiled and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince is thinking that he doesn't have much time to go to court, so let him go when he comes. It’s too troublesome to go back and forth like this when you don’t come, and if you leave it all the time, it’s strange that the chair is empty when no one is around. So there’s no need for it.”

Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty did not speak, but not because they agreed, but because they were speechless.

How can the prince's temperament think so much, this is clearly a forced explanation and open eyes to tell nonsense!But does anyone dare to say this?No, because the prince actually nodded in agreement.They really didn't talk about the bottom line and principles for each other.

However, no one is really unhappy about this phenomenon, and they are even quite happy to see it succeed. After all, everyone knows the relationship between the two of them well, and it is very clear that as long as Gu Daoxin is by Lu Zhen's side, they will The regent will not have the mind to care about others, and their pressure will not be so great.

Seeing that the court situation has stabilized, it is time for the emperor to expand the harem.

Lu Yicheng had never been married when he was the prince, let alone a concubine, not a side concubine or a concubine, he was always alone.Then in the upcoming draft, a group of women of the right age will be called into the palace.

This matter should have been handled by the queen mother, after all, it is a matter of the harem. The queen mother began to prepare for it when it first appeared. After learning about the situation of the daughters of each family, the most important thing is to see if her family is suitable. Girl.If possible, she certainly hoped that the daughter of the Rong family would be the queen of the palace.

But when Empress Dowager Rong went to talk to Lu Yicheng about this matter, Lu Yicheng told him directly that he had left this matter to Gu Daoxin.

Empress Dowager Rong was so angry that she slapped the table straight away, "Nonsense! How can such a thing as choosing a concubine be entrusted to a foreign minister?"

Lu Yicheng coaxed the Empress Dowager Rong, "Mother, don't say that. Master Gu is with the emperor's uncle, so he is considered his own family. How can he be called a foreign minister? Moreover, Master Gu has a delicate mind. He has taken care of his children and ministers before. This matter There will be no difference if the matter is handed over to Mr. Gu."

"But……"

"Mother, this is what my son begged Master Gu for a long time before he agreed, so you don't need to interfere. In the past, sons were useless and couldn't let the mother enjoy the blessings. Now that you are the empress dowager, you should enjoy the happiness and not worry about it." There are so many things. Moreover, I have considered carefully. Mr. Gu has a good character, outstanding virtues, and excellent eyesight. Presumably, the women selected by Mr. Gu will not have bad character. The queen mother was also very popular in the past. Tired of fighting in the harem, it is even more important to understand the importance of harmony in the harem. My ministers do not want to be busy with the affairs of the previous court every day, and come back to worry about the harem. At least, let Master Gu choose a queen with noble virtues, which can help his son Management, that's good too."

Empress Dowager Rong was speechless for a long time. Since when did the child who used to only listen to himself and then shake his head and nod become so eloquent now?It was able to make him speechless.

In the afternoon, Lu Yicheng's two aunts Yao and Fang entered the palace.

Empress Dowager Rong met the two in Ankang Palace.

"The court lady sees the Queen Mother."

"The court lady sees the Queen Mother."

"They're all from my own family, there's no need to be formal, just sit down."

Empress Dowager Rong ordered the people in the palace to bring out the best snacks and tea to entertain them, and there was a little bit of showing off in their friendly expressions.

Although she asked Lu Yicheng to take care of the family, she really minded that no one in the family extended a helping hand to her when she was down and down, and she just watched their mother and son suffer in the palace.Even if other concubines do not have a strong mother's family, they can often receive silver subsidies from their mother's family, but not only do they not have it, but they used to often send money outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Rong also knew that these two sisters-in-law were at odds with her in the past, and they must have separated their siblings at home.Now that she is an empress dowager, she will not let go of such an opportunity if she can show her prestige in front of these two people.

The faces of the two aunts were not very good-looking. They had rarely moved around in the past. This was the first time Lu Yicheng had entered the palace.The two had chatted before entering the palace, worried that the Empress Dowager Rong would take revenge and turn over the old score, but for the sake of the family's future, they still bit the bullet and came here.

"The empress dowager is being polite. Monarchs and ministers are different. Even if it is a family, the etiquette should be there and should not be overstepped."

Yao shi took the lead in saying something, and Fang shi immediately echoed.

Mrs. Rong smiled at the back, but she was very complacent. Finally, she saw the fawning faces of these two women. It felt so good to be proud. This is the result of having power in her hands!

"That's true," Empress Dowager Rong took a sip of tea with a smile, "In the past, the Ai family always called the emperor Cheng'er Cheng'er, but it's different now. Outsiders, even Aijia, can only be called the emperor."

"The Queen Mother said so."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Empress Dowager Rong put down her teacup, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The two looked at each other, and in the end it was Yao who spoke first, "Isn't it time to draft a girl! Let's make a total of it, why don't we just get one from each of our two families, isn't that a more intimate relationship?"

The Empress Dowager Rong tilted her head, "The Ai family even asked the two elder brothers that day, and they said that there are no girls of the right age in the family or even in the offspring!"

"I don't have it at home, but our two natal families have it." Fang added impatiently, "If there is one at home, we should focus on it at home, but if we don't have it, then we should not waste our money on outsiders!"

The Empress Dowager Rong's complexion was not very good-looking in an instant, there were no women of the right age in the family, but she didn't want to take advantage of the two women who had a festive relationship with her.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, the expressions of the two became more cautious.

"Queen Mother, although our natal girl's surname is not Rong, there is an in-law relationship after all, and she is always closer than outsiders. If someone else's daughter is allowed to occupy the position of concubine, they must help their own family, and they may not Respect the queen mother and listen to her words. But our daughter will definitely follow the queen mother's lead!"

"That's right, and as the saying goes, when you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, of course, your Majesty values ​​filial piety, so it's definitely not the case, but it's better to take precautions before anything happens. If you have your own people among your majesty's concubines, Queen Mother, you can go one step further. Said, the queen and the favored concubines can listen to you, isn't that better? And even though she is a girl from our natal family, she will definitely help the family. As for my own family, I will be satisfied if I can get some care. "

This Yao family really has a clever mouth, once Balabala said it, Queen Mother Rong was really moved.

The most important thing is the phrase "If you have a daughter-in-law, forget your mother", it really touched the Empress Dowager Rong.Not to mention having a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, now the emperor has an uncle and forgetting her mother, ah, there is still an ancient heart.

With these two people around, her words have no weight in the emperor. If she doesn't think of a way, her son will belong to someone else!

There is no way to do without a woman of the right age in the family, but right now to fill the emperor's harem, he really needs to have his own people.

Besides, after a few years, when the girls in the family grow up, they can be sent to the palace. It's okay to let the women from these two families come in temporarily, the important thing is to coax the emperor first.In the future, if there are more fresh and tender girls in the family, they will have nothing to do with them.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's send it in for the election. First, send the portrait to Aijia to have a look and recognize the face."

Both Yao Shi and Fang Shi showed surprised expressions, and Qi Qi thanked Queen Mother Rong.

"There's no need to say these things." The Empress Dowager Rong straightened her body slightly, "After all, it's an in-law relationship, so you should take care of one or two. If you are a good girl, the Ai family will be happy for the emperor. It's just that the Ai family can only ask for two for you. As for whether you can be elected in the end, it depends on how the girls of your two families are doing."

"The empress dowager is speaking modestly. The choice of concubine in the harem is the empress dowager and your majesty." Yao and Fang smiled at each other and continued, "Who doesn't know that your majesty is the most filial to the empress dowager, you Your Majesty will obey your orders. Besides, lifelong affairs are the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. Isn’t it entirely up to you, the Queen Mother?”

Yao shi thought that his words were beautiful, but he didn't know that he just hit the empress dowager Rong's sore spot.

The emperor handed over the matter of the draft to Gu Daoxin, but this matter has not been spread yet, after all, who will host the draft does not need an explicit order.But when it comes to the day of the draft, you should know or you will know.What should these people think then?Why did the emperor pass the queen mother over to a foreign minister?He even wondered if their mother and child were separated, so how embarrassing should he be?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Rong became more determined that she must have someone of her own in the emperor's harem, the emperor's favorite concubine, the highest ranking concubine, must be hers!

Empress Dowager Rong stroked her sleeves, "The emperor has his own opinions. Although Aijia is the emperor's mother, she will never force him, and will only give him some advice."

Both Yao and Fang thought that Empress Dowager Rong was showing off her false modesty, so they didn't say anything, they just laughed along.

From the time the showgirls entered the palace, the draft lasted more than a month.

On the first day, physical examination.

During the physical examination, every procedure is very careful.First of all, one must have a delicate appearance, not to mention the beauty of the country, but it is definitely not acceptable to be ugly.Then there is a slender figure, this is not an era when fat is considered beautiful, not to mention willow waist, but at least a well-proportioned body.Because there are not only relatives and noble ministers participating in the draft, but also women of the right age from the families of officials from all over the country. There are a large number of people, but nearly a thousand people can be eliminated in the first day of inspection.

On the second day, the show girls report their families, names, ages, etc. to examine their timbre and manners, and weed out those with rough voices, slurred speech, and inelegant manners.Of course, if you have a good background, you will definitely get a bonus at this time.So another batch was screened out.

On the third day, the daughters of each age must first go through the initial screening of piano and chess books, and at least one of the four arts must be mastered.After the screening, the eliminated ones leave the palace.

On the fourth day, there were only nearly 200 people left.
