My concubines are talents

Chapter 4 I implore Your Majesty to give women in the world a chance

Yu Zhiyu and Xiao Guoer are neighbors, they are both in the East Ninth Palace, and Xiao Guoer's father is the tutor of Yu Meiren's nephew, so she always regards Yu Zhiyu as her own.

As for Wan Linglong and Miao Hongxiu both in the West Ninth Palace, and their friendship was established as a maid in the palace since childhood, Xiao Guoer has always regarded them as opposites.

That girl in Hongxiu is fine, but Wan Linglong, an old woman, has to guard against that, that is, the biggest stumbling block on her way to becoming a queen!
Arriving at the Leshou Hall of Empress Dowager Xiao, Xiao Guoer first saw Wan Linglong and Miao Hongxiu who were inseparable.

She had no good looks towards Wan Linglong, and the two ignored each other, but Miao Hongxiu wanted to salute to her, who had a higher status.

Only then did the Empress Dowager show up. She was about 50 years old, well-maintained, and her clothes were simple but graceful, and she could vaguely see her youthful demeanor.

Xiao Guoer, who claims to be "the most beautiful in the harem", was always proud of being like her aunt when she was a child.

After the three daughters-in-law saluted, the Empress Dowager ordered the mothers beside her, "Put out the mahjong table, and let's chat while playing."

Xiao Guoer immediately took her arm and acted like a baby, "Auntie, Guoer is a little tight lately, how about I watch you fight?"

The queen mother patted her fair little hand, "It's okay, if you are short of money, you can get it from Ai's family, and you can be short."

Xiao Guoer immediately beamed with joy and used her aunt's capital to play mahjong. If she lost, she would count on her aunt, and if she won, she would keep the money.

Wan Linglong and Miao Hongxiu looked at each other, envious and helpless, they are relatives and nephews, they are connected by blood, so I show it to you, what can I do.

Wan Linglong, who is proficient in arithmetic and has outstanding intelligence, rolled up her sleeves. I won't let you go today, old lady!
……

At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall.

In the eyes of the eldest princess Hu Ping'an, her emperor's father was amiable and never put on airs of the emperor.

In the inner palace, even the titles "Father Emperor" are not allowed to be used, they are all called Daddy directly, no different from folk families.

Dad once said that they are a family, and the "father emperor" and "mother concubine" are all played for outsiders.

Today she saw her father's acting skills again.

Originally approachable, like the big brother next door, after Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Fushou suddenly increased his aura, and the coercion came to his face, as if the world was in his hands.

The civil and military officials in the court immediately bowed their heads and saluted with a submissive attitude. They did not dare to raise their heads unless the emperor shouted.

The eldest princess also saluted, and then sat behind the beaded curtain on one side of the dragon chair. Others could not see her clearly, but she could clearly see the people outside.

After the death of Liping, the ministers also saw that there was a small person behind the curtain, but no one said anything, obviously they were used to it for a long time.

After all, Hu Lu once did the act of a foolish emperor who brought his concubine to the court. All the concubines in the harem can go to the court, so why not the dignified princess.

Hu Lu said directly, "I have two things here, but let's talk about yours first, let's start."

After the group of old guys exchanged glances, Taiwei Xiang Ding, the leader of the military officers, stood up.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Chaoyong has now set off for Beijing and will arrive in a few days."

Hu Lu snorted, "General Chaoyong is finally willing to come back. If I remember correctly, the rebellion in northern Xinjiang was suppressed more than a month ago."

Xiang Ding still loves his subordinates very much, "Yes, so the army returned to the court a month ago, but the general was worried that the rebel army would relapse, so he led his own soldiers to stay for a while, completely extinguishing the fire of rebellion .”

"In this case, I still want to praise this super brave general." Hu Lu became angry.

Xiang Ding bowed and stepped back, "This matter is entirely up to His Majesty to decide."

The ministers sensed the malicious intent in the emperor's tone, and most of them lowered their heads to avoid meeting the emperor's eyes.

At this time, Prime Minister Xiao Can stood up, with a white face and long beard, and his elegant style of painting was completely different from that of Xiang Taiwei just now.

As the head of the group of ministers, Xiao Can can be said to be under one person. At the same time, he is also the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao Jia, the father of the virtuous concubine Xiao Guoer, the nominal uncle of Hu Lu, and the de facto father-in-law.

One person is the prime minister of the state, the head of the state, and the uncle of the state. In addition, there are eight sons who hold important positions in the military and political departments. They can be called the most powerful ministers of the Dayue Dynasty.

However, Xiao Xiang's attitude is more respectful than that of Taiwei Xiang. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Please tell me, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Shen got up, glanced at the girl behind the curtain, and then said in a deep voice, "I heard that a new little prince was added to Prince Lu's mansion the day before yesterday."

Hu Lu frowned, "King Lu is my fourth elder brother, of course I know about it, and I even sent a top-quality emerald, but this is what the patriarchal family should care about, and the Zhengshitang will also intervene in the patriarchal family at any time." business?"

Hu Tu, the patriarch of the Clan Mansion, also stood up and said righteously, "Xiao Xiang, what do you mean by suddenly caring about King Lu's family affairs? My Clan Mansion can guarantee that this time this child is definitely born to King Lu of!"

Xiao Shen waved his hand, "King Xian is too worried, I don't mean to question that child's life experience, I just want to say..."

Speaking of which, Xiao Can looked at Hu Lu, "Many of His Majesty's brothers have sons in their families, and there are not only one like King Lu, but there are only six princesses in His Majesty's palace, and they have not given birth to any children for three years. For the sake of the country's safety, His Majesty should have made plans early."

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn on her back. Is it because she was sitting here, that's why Xiao Xiang brought up the matter that the emperor had no son again.

I was happy at first, but I knew I would not come.

But Hu Lu didn't think that Xiao Shen was impromptu, he stared at the father-in-law sharply, "Haha, it turns out that Prime Minister Xiao didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the clan, but in my family affairs, but you are the elder brother of the queen mother, Xian Concubine's father, we are family members, so you are naturally qualified to intervene."

As he spoke, he still stood up, and bowed his hands to Xiao Shen in the manner of a junior.

The court was silent, Xiao Shen immediately knelt down, but he was neither humble nor overbearing, "I am afraid, I dare not call myself the emperor's family, but I have something to say because I am in this position."

Hu Lu asked him to get up, and sat down himself, "It seems that Xiao Xiang has already figured out what I want to do, so let's talk about what you have to say."

Xiao Shen stood up and replied, "Now our country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and we are in the most prosperous era since the founding of the country 180 years ago. This is all thanks to His Majesty, and this prosperous empire needs to be inherited by His Majesty's sons. The inheritance of children is the foundation of the country, so I have the courage to implore Your Majesty to accept more concubines, and give a chance to the women who admire His Majesty all over the world!"

After Xiao Shen finished speaking, all the civil servants under him also said in unison, "I implore Your Majesty to give women in the world a chance!"

So uniform, it was obviously rehearsed!
