Empress Yu Concubine Lie Wins Everyday

Chapter 274 Accompanying the Emperor in Drafting?

Concubine Ning's death did not cause the slightest disturbance in the garden.

Shu Jin was busy with the funeral ceremony of the third concubine, and really had no time to spare, so she asked the emperor for instructions, and Concubine Mao presided over the funeral of Concubine Ning, and the emperor agreed without hesitation.

Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Xi, Concubine Mi, and Concubine Qi’s ceremony was held as scheduled in the early summer of Yongzheng 15th, which is interesting. All three of them wore old court clothes accumulated over the years. "Frugality".

It's not that Shu Jin is stingy, it's mainly because time is too tight.In fact, she wished she had more time to prepare, for one thing, she didn't have to be so busy, and two, she didn't have to wrong Concubine Mi so much.But this is obviously contrary to Yongzheng's intentions, and Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi are not necessarily happy.

The preparations for this year's draft are almost complete, and the girls from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han have already arrived in the capital, waiting for the day of the general election.

After more than ten years, this is something that many people are looking forward to.Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi both have sons, and the fourth elder brother is just getting married, needless to say, even Concubine Qi is probably looking forward to picking a few concubines for his son.

Now that there is no owner in the harem, the queen mother has already gone to accompany Kang Mazi in the imperial tomb.So after the canonization ceremony is over, the three concubines can go back to their homes and rest separately.

It's just unexpected that Concubine Mi came to Danning Palace.

Shu Jin was a little surprised, "The book ceremony is cumbersome and hard work, and you have been tired for most of the day, why don't you go back to Qingxi Hall to rest?"

Concubine Mi Li, who was wearing Shu Jin's old concubine's clothes, said with a smile, "I just see that it's still early, and I have nothing else to do when I go back."

Concubine Mi is indeed a leisurely person, she used to be busy taking care of Hongxin, but now that Hongxin is enrolled, she has nothing to do.

Shu Jin smiled, "The child will grow up." Then, he asked someone to serve her a cup of warm almond milk tea.

This court dress is solemn, and you have to sit upright, so it naturally adds a bit of extravagance, even if it's just an old dress, but Shu Jin doesn't have much upper body on this thing, so it looks like it is probably new, and it doesn't drop in price.

The golden double-layer golden phoenix crown is gorgeous and dazzling, and the pearls and gems inlaid on it have not lost their luster due to the passage of time.Concubine Mi has put on some weight now, and the expensive and gorgeous court dress makes her quite graceful.

Isn't this appearance much better than those skinny concubines who look like they don't have enough to eat?

It's a pity that Yongzheng liked the money of Ruoliu Fufeng.

Shu Jin took a sip of milk tea, and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, "I have wronged you this time, but don't worry, I will urge the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make court and auspicious clothes for you as soon as possible." ——Her old clothes are just Just for emergency.

Concubine Mi smiled and said: "Your concubine's words really offend the concubine, the concubine's body is much more valuable than the crowns of Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi!"

Shu Jin couldn't help laughing. They are all concubines, so why is it precious?It's just that her body is well maintained, presumably the old court clothes of Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi are more outdated and gloomy.

While talking, Concubine Mao, the head of the four concubines, came to Danning Hall, "Oh, I'm late!" As she spoke, she bowed to Shu Jinying.

Shu Jin glanced at the setting sun outside, it's already this hour, concubine Mao is still here to join in the fun?
Seeing this, Concubine Mi had already got up, held hands with Concubine Mao, and saluted.

Concubine Mao was wearing a lake-blue four-season flower basket flag dress, she smiled and looked at Concubine Mi's crown dress, "It fits very well."

It was specially modified according to Concubine Mi's figure, so it fits naturally.Shu Jin laughed secretly.

Concubine Mi pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister also thinks it is very suitable."

Shu Jin laughed and said, "Sit down and have a sip of tea." Then he asked someone to bring Concubine Mao a cup of milk tea.

So the two sat on both sides of Shu Jin, one on the left and one on the right, and they were symmetrical.

Concubine Mao rubbed her shoulders, "It's really hard to organize the funeral."

Shu Jin couldn't help laughing: "I know you've worked hard, I'll ask the satin library to add a few extra pieces for the third princess for this summer's satin material!"——Shu Jin has become a habit of using Yongzheng's things as favors.

Concubine Mao giggled, "The concubine will not be polite!"

For a while, the Tanning Palace was filled with joy.

After laughing, Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi both regained their composure, Concubine Mao took a sip of milk tea before slowly saying: "Now that the four concubines are standing side by side, Concubine Qi is fine, stupidity is nothing but Concubine Xi—"

Shu Jin fiddled with the golden silk armor on her fingers, "When the Ministry of Internal Affairs chooses an auspicious day, the draft will be held."——This is the most important event this year.

"Concubine Xi has been in contact with her mother's clan more frequently..." And now, Shu Jin can't find out the contents of the letter anymore.After all, she was short of money.

However, I can also guess that Concubine Xi's plan is nothing more than to find a powerful wife for the fourth elder brother.

She who only knows history naturally also knows that Concubine Xi will definitely like the Fucha family.

Concubine Mi frowned worriedly, "Then we have to think of a way, we can't make Concubine Xi's mother and son fulfill their wishes."

But Shu Jin smiled: "San Fujin is the daughter of Shang Shu's daughter Dong E, so there is no reason why the fourth elder brother's Fujin will be inferior to San Fujin. In this matter, no matter whether Concubine Xi planned it or not, the emperor would not choose the one from a poor family. The daughter is the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family."

Hearing this, Concubine Mao couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, if the emperor is impartial, it's not a bad thing. Our fifth elder brother's future Fujin must choose a noble family."

Hong Zhou Fujin in history...who is it?Anyway, the family background is definitely not as good as the Fucha family.

Shu Jin said: "After the palace selection, let's take a closer look."

With her status as a noble concubine and the power in charge of the Six Palaces, she is naturally qualified to summon Xiu Nu.

Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi cheered up immediately and nodded endlessly.

In this draft, the future queen is chosen!Naturally, you have to choose carefully.

Within three days, Yongzheng decided to hold the hall selection in the Louyue Kaiyun Hall—the so-called "Hall Selection" actually means the emperor's personal selection, which is similar to Gongsheng's "Hall Examination".However, the location has never been fixed. Sometimes it is a vacant palace, and sometimes it is a spacious pavilion in a place with a good view, purely depending on the emperor's wishes.

This Louyue Kaiyun was the queen's former residence, and Yongzheng chose this place, which shows that he attaches great importance to this draft.

Shu Jin had no choice but to ask someone to tidy up the moon and open the clouds. After the queen died, the place was vacant. Although it was not in disrepair, it was really old. It took a lot of cleaning and decoration inside and out. time.

"This draft, the noble concubine will accompany me." After everything was ready, Yongzheng suddenly sent such words.

Shu Jin was confused on the spot.

When is the concubine eligible to intervene in this palace election? ?

"The concubine dare not break the rules." Shu Jin hastily declined.

Yongzheng said lightly: "It's okay, just stay by my side."

Shu Jin savored the words silently, oh, you are the one who decides, I am just an escort, right?But it is also a good thing to be able to meet Xiu Nu in advance.More importantly, accompanying the emperor in the draft is also a manifestation of status and identity.
