In the sixth year of Yongzheng, it was another draft year.

Since the new year, many concubines in the harem have become uneasy, especially Concubine Dun and Ning Guiren who are currently being favored, they are more worried than anyone else about a young and beautiful newcomer.

So when I have nothing to do, I go to the Shu Jindan Ning Palace.

Shu Jin is really annoyed, how do I know if Yongzheng is drafted or not? !You two are so favored, why don't you ask around? !

Although she slandered endlessly, she also understood that such words cannot be asked casually, the more favored she is, the less she can ask!Otherwise, if it falls into Yongzheng's ears, I'm afraid he will suspect that you are jealous.

"You two don't think about it, the emperor hasn't thought about it yet!" Shu Jin had no choice but to appeal again, "Go back and serve the emperor well, don't think about these things."

Concubine Dun and Ning Guiren's little faces are a little gloomy, where are they thinking wildly?Drafted every three years, this is the ancestral system!Even if it's not for enriching the harem, the third elder brother has reached the age for marriage!

Shu Jin didn't think that Yongzheng would draft again so soon. One was a waste of time and money, and the other... Now that there is no empress dowager, shouldn't the latter preside over the draft?And Yongzheng's temperament, how could he let the Queen Mother be the master?

Concubine Dun and Ning Guiren are also fans of the authorities.

As for the third elder brother, Hongshi... the prince's marriage may not necessarily require a draft!
Back then, Yongzheng was bestowed by Kangxi to marry a ten-year-old little Fujin, and that was the marriage he was referring to directly!That's right, the concubine empress in the Louyue Kaiyun Palace has never participated in the draft! !
Xiunu must be at least 13 years old!Ten years old... This is not a beautiful girl, she is clearly a child bride!
It's a pity that this long-standing friendship as a companion ended up being divorced.

Concubine Dun said in a low voice: "The courtiers and concubines have all heard that the eldest princess held several spring banquets back and forth! I have received countless ladies from aristocratic families!"

Shu Jin was a little speechless, this princess Huai Ke was also a little impatient!However, it is also understandable that nobleman Qi's current status is embarrassing, and he obviously has no right to speak about the marriage of the third elder brother, so Princess Huaike has to worry more?

It's just that this kind of thing, where is the princess can have the final say?

At this moment, Zhang Shoufa came in quickly to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking to see you."

Come on, say Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there!

"My son, please greet the imperial concubine and empress!" Huai Ke saluted respectfully.Seeing that Concubine Dun and Ning Guiren were still sitting on the chairs on one side, she hurriedly saluted, "Concubine Dun, Empress Jin'an."

As for Mrs. Ning, she is not even a concubine, Huai Ke frowned, pretending that she hadn't seen it - Mrs. Ning is next to Concubine Dun, she just saluted, and Mrs. Ning did not get up to avoid the ceremony...

Ning Gui, who was ignored, was also unhappy, even if she didn't need to salute, at least the eldest princess should say hello to her and ask her well, right?

Concubine Dun waved the gold and embroidered peacock fan in her hand, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess came in a hurry, is there something urgent?"

Huai Ke said: "There are some things, I need to ask the imperial concubine for instructions." However, Huai Ke obviously didn't intend to say in front of Concubine Dun what it was.

Concubine Dun also made a good guess, and secretly spat in her heart, when will it be the turn of a married princess to intervene in the prince's elder brother's marriage?The imperial concubine might have a headache.

Concubine Dun Jiao Didi stood up, "It's getting late, the concubine will take her leave first."

Naturally, Ning Guiren didn't want to stay and suffer anger, so he also stood up, "Concubine bids farewell!"

When Huai Ke came, he actually sent these two away.

Shu Jin's face softened slightly, "Princess, sit down and talk slowly."

"Yes." Huai Ke sat down on Concubine Dun's chair, "To tell you the truth, my concubine, I have seen many beauties in Beijing these days..."

Shu Jin sighed helplessly, "I can understand the princess' painstaking efforts, but—" Huai Ke's behavior was really inappropriate.

Huai Ke bit his lip, but still took out a list, "Please have a look at your mother and concubine."

What a mess!

Shu Jin rubbed the center of her brows, and when she saw Hanshuang handing over the booklet, she still glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Without him, it's just because the ladies in this brochure... It seems that the family background is not high.There is not a single surname of a big family, and several of them belong to the Han army flag.

Shu Jin blinked, "Is the princess really fond of these families?"——The eldest princess can't just pick a concubine for her brother when she is free, right?
Huai Ke nodded his head heavily, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Hongshi now...how can he pick and choose? Just choose a girl with a good appearance and a good temperament."

If that's all you want, it's hard for Shu Jin to refuse, she sighed: "Forget it, I will present it to the emperor for you later."

Huai Ke was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and bowed his knees solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Concubine!"

After thanking her thousands of times, Huai Ke went to her biological mother, Mrs. Qi.

In the Hanqiu Hall, although nobleman Qi has regained his freedom, his status is only a fifth-rank nobleman after all, and the decorations in the hall are not as good as before, even somewhat desolate.

Huai Ke also copied an extra copy of that copybook, and now he handed it to his mother-in-law.

After nobleman Qi looked at it, his old face was gloomy: "Why is there no decent one? The Xu Jia family with the highest family background, her Ama is the servant! And she is a concubine! Your brother is the emperor's eldest son, how could he be reduced to to this extent?"

Huai Ke sighed, and tried to persuade him: "Good character is the most important thing! It doesn't matter what family background. I have personally observed these characters, and they look very good! Hongshi will like it. Er Mom, don't pick and choose, we are not what we used to be."

The sentence "It's not what it used to be" really hurt Qi Guiren, and Qi Guiren couldn't help but get red-eyed, "If I didn't make a mistake at the beginning, Hongshi wouldn't have to marry such a Fujin!"

Huai Ke smiled wryly, that's right, if Erniang is still the first concubine of the four concubines, how could Hongshi marry a noble daughter to be the concubine of the concubine.

"Emiang, this is the end of the matter, I only hope that you and Hongshi Yusheng are safe. I have already asked the imperial concubine, Khan Ama... I think I will allow it." Huai Ke squeezed out a smile and said.

Noble Qi wept.

Spring is getting warmer. On this day, His Majesty Yongzheng came to Danning Hall, and Shu Jin served tea like a maid.

"I heard that Huai Ke came to beg you the day before yesterday?" Yinzhen didn't raise his eyebrows, but his tone was a little cold.

Shu Jin hurriedly raised a smile, "I really can't hide anything from the emperor. The eldest princess came to ask for my concubine for the marriage of the third elder brother. However, although the concubine is in charge of the sixth palace, in the end it is only the third elder brother Concubine, how dare the ministers and concubines step in and take the place?"

Satisfied, Yinzhen nodded secretly.

Only then did Shu Jin hurriedly took out the booklet from that day, "It's just that the princess left this, saying that she wanted to ask the emperor to have a look."

Anyway, she was just delivering the letter, no matter what Yongzheng was thinking, she couldn't blame her.
