Chapter 131 Draft Roster
"Isn't the mother and concubine on this year's draft roster? The father really needs a caring and caring person to take care of him."

Concubine Wen Gui's eyes flashed brightly when she heard Murong Xiu's words, "I understand, the emperor wants this lady from the Wang family to enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty, right? This is indeed a good way." said with a smile.

Let's not talk about how this young lady of the Wang family looks like, in short, she is definitely not as good as Concubine Wen Gui.Although being younger does have some advantages, if being young is really a major advantage, Concubine Wen Gui would not be the most favored in the harem.

Moreover, this harem is a place where people cannibalize. Once Wang Rongxin came in, he would never want to get out properly.Because once you come in, you will be lost forever, and there is no extra flesh and blood to go out.

Since she was asked to come by name, Concubine Wen Gui never thought of letting Wang Rongxin have a good time, and the usual beatings, scolding and making things difficult are certain.

Therefore, Concubine Wen Gui was not angry and sad because Murong Xiu recommended a newcomer, on the contrary she was slightly excited.After all, only every three years can a new batch of beautiful women fill the harem, and the situation in Emperor Zhaozheng's harem is almost fixed.

Even Empress Chunhui and Concubine Wen Gui are the strongest, and they usually fight back and forth.But after all these years of fighting, I am tired.The opponent's tricks have been almost figured out, and there is nothing new about them.

It just so happened that Murong Xiu recommended someone to come in this time, and Concubine Wen Gui would not find life in the harem boring.What's more, she is the daughter of the Wang family, the daughter of Queen Chunhui's family, she feels better after cleaning up, I don't know how many times.

Concubine Wen Gui also wanted to see Empress Chunhui's angry face, it must be wonderful.

And this year's draft was handed over to Concubine Wen Gui by Emperor Zhaozheng, which made Empress Chunhui very angry.It just so happened that Concubine Wen Gui could take advantage of this draft to act like a monster, and it probably made Queen Chunhui even more mad.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wen Gui agreed without hesitation.Ask the maid to bring over the draft roster and add Wang Rongxin's name.

With the announcement of the draft list, all the aristocratic families also know whether their daughters will participate in this year's draft.

In Xu's house, Xu Youyi sat nervously in her boudoir, and was relieved when Ban Xia said that she didn't have her own name.

After all, Jiji's daughter from every aristocratic family has to participate in the three-year draft, and it just so happened that Xu Youyi just passed Jiji not long ago.

Because Xu's family only had Xu Youyi, a legitimate daughter, they also knew that the harem was not a place for people to stay, and they never thought of using their daughter to pursue fame and fortune.It happened that this year's draft roster was in the hands of Concubine Wen Gui, so Xu Bai met Jin Wang and asked Jin Wang to come forward and tick off Xu Youyi's name.

Although she knew that the arrangements had been made at home, Xu Youyi still couldn't help worrying, and she was completely relieved when she heard that Banxia said that her name was not on the draft list.

Seeing Xu Youyi's lingering fear, Ban Xia joked: "Miss, I'm still worried. The master has already come forward about this matter, there will be absolutely no problem, so you can rest assured, miss."

Xu Youyi glanced at Banxia coquettishly: "Damn girl, it's not like you don't know who I want to marry, and you still make fun of me like this."

"Yes, the lady who wants to marry must be the one she likes, not the sage who has three thousand beauties." Then Banxia bent down and teased in a low voice: "I don't know if the third son Qi is ready to propose marriage to the lady, the lady has already done so. It's too late, but I haven't seen him coming over to show anything."

"Mr. Qi is busy with official duties in the Ministry of War, so he is not someone who only understands the love of children." Xu Youyi blushed, "Besides, there is a second son in the Qi family who is not married? No matter how you say it, it is not Mr. Qi's turn." , so why is he in a hurry?" Then he said awkwardly: "Anyway, I'm already waiting for him here, and he can't run away."

Seeing Xu Youyi's awkward appearance, Ban Xia couldn't help laughing out, "So Miss expects Mr. Qi San to come to propose marriage, or not?"

"Of course it is..." Xu Youyi looked at Banxia's teasing face, and raised her hand to hit her, "Damn girl, how dare you laugh at your young lady."

Ban Xia also knew that her young lady was stubborn, so she hid her body for a while, and then joked: "So the young lady still hopes that Mr. Qi San will come to propose marriage soon."

"Of course." Xu Youyi propped his chin with both hands, blushing, "But you also know him, and you don't know when you will remember to come to Xu's mansion to ask me for marriage." Then he began to complain: "He is really a Yumu head, I have already reminded him of this, and I have not seen him coming. Although he is under the age, he can come here to make an appointment in advance, and I don't mind waiting for him for a few years."

"Miss, don't worry, maybe Mr. Qi was too busy with his business and forgot, and when he is free, maybe he will remember it." Banxia comforted beside him.

"I hope so." Xu Youyi pouted and said with a sleepy expression.

"By the way, Miss. Do you still remember the Miss Wang who pushed you into the water on the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Autumn Banquet?" Ban Xia asked from the side.

"Miss Wang? You are talking about Wang Rongxin, what's wrong with her?" Xu Youyi asked casually.

"When the servant girl looked at the names on the draft list, she seemed to see Miss Wang's name."

"You mean...Wang Rongxin is going to enter the palace to draft a girl?" Xu Youyi couldn't help being surprised.

At Wang's house, Wang Rongxin listened to Lianqiao's report, patted his hands on the table and stood up in disbelief: "What did you say? My name is on this year's draft list."

Lian Qiao stood aside, seeing Wang Rongxin's big reaction, she also knew that the matter was not simple, she trembled all over with fright, her voice trembling, "Yes, I did see Miss's name when I went to see the draft list."

"How is this possible?" Wang Rongxin's eyes were full of surprise, "Did you read it wrong? How could my name be on this draft list? The Holy Majesty is old enough to be my father. I am going to enter the palace." Do you serve the Holy Majesty?"

Wang Rongxin fell to the chair behind him, with faint despair and panic in his eyes.

She hopes to marry into the royal family and enjoy a different status and glory.But this does not mean that she wants to marry the Holy One, the person she wants to marry has always been King Jin alone.Now this is Jin Wang did not marry, but married Jin Wang's father?
But Emperor Zhaozheng is now older than Wang Yong, so how could it be possible for her to marry a young girl to a bad old man.

And she knows exactly where the harem is, and she can't compete with Empress Chunhui and Concubine Wen Gui.These two have been fighting for so many years, and the situation in the harem has been fixed.

Moreover, many concubines already have princes, so she may not have a chance to give birth to a prince if she goes now.Even with a prince, nothing can be changed.After all, many princes have grown up, and the battle to seize the heirloom has already begun.

Even if I have a prince, before he grows up, I am afraid that I will become a thorn in the eyes of all the princes.Wang Rongxin still understood this point, so the road to the palace was a bumpy road, without any hope.

So she must not go.

Wang Rongxin didn't know what to do for a while, after thinking about it, he stood up decisively and asked for help: "No, I'm going to find my father."

In the study of the Wang family, Wang Yong was concentrating on reading official documents when he heard Wang Rongxin's panicked and anxious voice.

"Daddy, you have to find a way for your daughter. This year's draft list has her name on it, what should she do? My daughter doesn't want to enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty." At the end of the speech, there was still a faint cry.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yong put down the official document in his hand and said, "Of course my father knows about this, but what can I do? Now that the draft roster has been announced, it is powerless to change it. You have to enter if you don't want to."

"It's impossible. Although my daughter has passed the age, didn't she not have her name in the past few years? Why is it on the draft list this year?" Wang Rongxin asked anxiously.

Wang Yong clenched his fists and replied: "Because this year's draft list is in the hands of Concubine Wen Gui. A few days ago, you went to the Imperial Academy to look for King Jin. I am afraid that King Jin held a grudge, so I wrote your name down." On the draft roster."

Wang Rongxin fell to the ground, eyes darkened, and muttered to himself: "This year's draft list is in the hands of Concubine Wen Gui, so he just..."

How can he be so cruel, she really likes him.He may not like her, and he may not accept her as a concubine, but how can he force her into the palace.

No wonder there will be her name this year. It turns out that this year's draft list is in the hands of Concubine Wen Gui.In the past few years, she had been in the hands of Empress Chunhui, so Wang Yong asked the prince to remove her name because she only wanted to marry King Jin.

And now that Emperor Zhaozheng is old, with two such outstanding sons who have been fighting for the throne, Emperor Zhaozheng will eventually abdicate, which has lost the meaning of being courteous and flattering.Many aristocratic families have seen it clearly, so they don't want to send their daughters to the palace.

Those with backgrounds should ask the crown prince to remove the taboo, and those without backgrounds should be replaced by concubines from the side branches of the family.

The crown prince is also aware of this, but if he can be remembered by many aristocratic families, it is worthwhile, so he turned a blind eye.Queen Chunhui is also happy to see the success.

But who knows that Emperor Zhaozheng handed over this year's draft roster to Concubine Wen Gui, and this time Concubine Wen Gui has returned with revenge.

King Jin has been struggling to find the Wang family's flaws, and Wang Rongxin sent it to his door for nothing, so he took the brunt of the Wang family to make fun of him, and wrote Wang Rongxin's name on it.

On the one hand, it solved Wang Rongxin and stopped him from pestering him; on the other hand, it suppressed the Wang family in a disguised form, reminding the Wang family that they were too arrogant recently.

But the Jiang family has only two legitimate sons and no daughters, so there is no worry in this regard.

Wang Rongxin's entry into the palace was not just a matter of Wang Rongxin alone, but also a slap in the face of the Wang family.

Of course, Wang Yong gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally gained a firm foothold in the Imperial Academy, faintly able to exclude the Jiang family.Although the effect is not great, it is already a great improvement for the Wang family with only two generations of roots.

Unexpectedly, King Jin made a cruel move this time and sent Wang Rongxin to the palace.As long as Wang Rongxin makes a slight mistake, wouldn't Concubine Wen Gui catch the Wang family's braid?So this time Wang Rongxin's entry into the palace is a dead end, or a dead end to grab the tail of the Wang family.

But this draft list has been announced, and it cannot be changed casually.Even if he wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do.

Wang Rongxin also calmed down, since it was written by Concubine Wen Gui.Concubine Wen Gui and Empress Chunhui are rivals, and the Wang family belongs to the prince, so it is no wonder that Concubine Wen Gui treats her kindly.

And the road to enter the palace is not only a difficult and bumpy road, but also a deadly road.

Wang Rongxin felt afraid for the first time, knelt at Wang Yong's feet, supported Wang Yong's knee, and begged, "Father, you must save your daughter. My daughter should not enter the palace and marry the Holy Majesty."

Wang Yong couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, of course he didn't want Wang Rongxin to enter the palace.But what can be done now?
"Father, if you let your daughter enter the palace, it's better for her to kill her here. It's over, and you don't have to suffer that kind of crime." Seeing that Wang Yong didn't express his opinion, Wang Rongxin threatened him.And made a gesture of hitting the wall to death, but fortunately, Wang Yong stopped him.

"Xin'er, what are you doing? You are the daughter of the father, and the father will naturally try to save you, and will not let you enter the palace easily." Wang Yong hurriedly stopped her.

"Is it true? Daddy won't let his daughter into the palace, right?" Wang Rongxin asked with a smile through tears, asking for proof.

"Of course, Concubine Wen Gui also wanted to let you enter the palace this time. If they really followed their wishes, the Wang family might not be in a good place." Wang Yong thought that King Jin would take action from Wang Rongxin, He gritted his teeth in hatred.

If Wang Rongxin really crashed and died here this time, then he would have no way to report to Emperor Zhaozheng.If the king of Jin added fuel and vinegar to say that the daughter of the Wang family did not want to serve in the palace, if Long Yan was furious, the Wang family would be completely lost.

The entire Wang family cannot be ruined just because Wang Rongxin is alone.

Moreover, it will not be easy for Wang Rongxin to enter the palace, and the Wang family will not be able to advance or retreat anyway, so the Wang family might as well ask His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe the Prince will have a solution.

In the afternoon of that day, Wang Yong went to the prince's mansion to ask the prince to solve the matter.

"Your Highness, now my daughter is too sleepy and sleepless because of this matter. For the sake of the Wang family's support for His Highness, I ask His Highness to save my daughter." Wang Yong knelt on the ground and begged.

Murong Sheng stood in front of the birdcage and stretched out his white jade finger to tease the bird in the cage a few times, then went to sit beside the chief seat, and said, "An accident happened at Academician Wang's house, so naturally I will not stand by and watch."

Just when Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Murong Sheng continue to say: "However, academician Wang also knows that the roster of outstanding women, once it is announced, there is no power to change it. Even if I want to help Ling Qianjin, there is nothing I can do. .”

"But...but..." Wang Yong was stunned.

"Father now knows the list of show girls. Academician Wang, tell me, if I ask my father for this matter at this time, what will my father think of me? For a woman, I don't do my job properly, and I still collude with court officials. Intent to usurp the throne and treason?"

Murong Sheng stared straight at Wang Yong who was kneeling on the ground. Although his voice was gentle, the coercion in it couldn't be ignored. There seemed to be a sharp sword hidden in his gentle smile, and Wang Yong's words of continuing to beg were also given to him. Swallowed it back.

Although Emperor Zhaozheng is old now, he is still the emperor of a country anyway.Murong Sheng is still the prince of a country, how could it be plausible to plead with Emperor Zhaozheng for a woman.

Are you blatantly robbing your own father for a woman?Besides, Wang Rongxin didn't want it at all.

In addition to robbing women with Emperor Zhaozheng, it will also make people think that he ordered the Wang family to fill in the vacancies of the officials of the Wang family recently.Although Emperor Zhaozheng also realized it, he didn't know that he did it behind the scenes.

This intercession not only revealed the relationship between Murong Sheng and the Wang family, but also handed over the blatant handle to Emperor Zhaozheng.As long as Emperor Zhaozheng's status in the country is threatened, Emperor Zhaozheng can easily give up.

I will definitely investigate in private, follow the clues, and if the investigation reveals something that should not be known.Then he, the prince, can still do it.After all, if one step is wrong, even a small matter will arouse others' suspicion. Besides, he is an emperor who has been in the dragon position for a long time, so the suspicion is even more serious.

Why risk being discovered and investigated for the sake of a royal family?
So he had no choice but to refuse, since the Wang family had no other place to stay except his ship, and Murong Xiu would not want an enemy family.So even if Murong Sheng didn't help, the Wang family didn't dare to say anything.

Compared with a daughter and the whole Wang family, Wang Yong knows how to choose.

Sure enough, Wang Yong looked at the gentle Murong Sheng on the high seat, and finally bowed his head to thank him.

"I understand, thank you Your Highness for reminding me."

After Wang Yong left, Murong Sheng continued to tease the bird in the cage, looked at the scenery outside the window and muttered to himself: "Fourth brother, this trick is really good, I want to grab the tail of the Wang family and put it in the palace." Is that so? Using this tail to lead the Wang family, I have to say that I really deserve to be the fourth emperor's younger brother."

Murong Sheng opened the cage, carefully stood the bird on his fingers, and gently stroked the bird's head with the other hand.

"But your third brother is not bad, no matter what you do, the last throne belongs to me, and you will never take it away."

While speaking, Murong Sheng put his finger under the bird's neck, "And you are like this bird in a cage, I can control you, life or death is at my discretion."

After finishing speaking, Murong Sheng also casually threw the dead bird with gray eyes out of the window.And he wore a gentle smile on his face, as if he had never done anything before, he walked out calmly.
