"The emperor's sister-in-law must know what happened that day. It is reasonable for Concubine Jin to guess that I am attracted to Mr. Ye."

Princess Shuhui looked a little embarrassed, but she still slowly expressed her feelings.

"Actually, Mr. Ye is indeed very good. I was a little attracted to him at first. But after something like that happened, I felt that Mr. Ye was too popular. If I really chose him, I would probably offend a lot of people in Beijing if I got married in the future. Although I am not afraid of the noble girl, I am also worried that I will not be able to cope with the many troubles."

"You are a princess. You must choose your consort according to your own wishes. I and the Emperor will make the decision for you. No one dares to disrespect you. If you like Young Master Ye, just choose him."

After hearing these words, the queen said softly.

Fang Yun also nodded, "Yes, the Ye family has an upright family tradition. Although it is a large family, its population is simple. Mr. Ye's character is also excellent. He is indeed a person worthy of trust."

The two of them persuaded, but Princess Shuhui shook her head.

"I know that the emperor's sister-in-law and Concubine Zhao are afraid that I will be wronged, but I am not aggrieved by choosing Mr. Zheng. Originally, in addition to Mr. Ye's family, I also had a very good impression of Mr. Zheng. Later, I asked people about it and felt that Mr. Zheng My home is also a quiet place where I can be trusted."

Hearing this, the queen and Fang Yun looked at each other and understood what she was thinking.

After a pause, the queen nodded.

"Master Zheng is an upright man and a gentleman. The sons of the Zheng family are all good in character and appearance. Master Zheng has never married since his wife lost his wife in his early years. There is only one concubine in the family who has no children. She is Mrs. Zheng's dowry maid. Very peaceful, there are only one legitimate son and one daughter among the descendants, the daughter is the eldest daughter and is already married, so now they are the only two in the huge Zheng family, father and son."

Listening to it this way, it is indeed a simple home.

Princess Shuhui nodded, her face stained a little crimson.

When the queen saw that she had made up her mind, she sent someone to Jingqian Palace to tell Pei Yao.

Here, Princess Shuhui was sent away, but the queen left Fang Yun and Concubine Jin to continue talking.

"There are still ten days left for the Chinese New Year. There are many things to do at the end of the year. After the first month of the new year, the beautiful ladies will enter the palace for final selection. I also have to take care of the fifth prince. One person is really busy with so many things. , so I called you here today because I intend to ask them to share some of the burden for me."

The queen has never been the kind of person who clings to power until she is exhausted.

If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, it would be appropriate to be a leader's structure and thinking.

The tasks that should be assigned, and the tasks that can be assigned, are all left to reliable people below.

"Your Majesty, just give me your orders, and I will try my best to take care of your Majesty's worries." Fang Yun nodded respectfully.

Concubine Jin also followed closely to express her position.

The queen smiled with satisfaction, and then left the draft matters to the two of them to prepare.

After all, the queen has almost finished the New Year's Eve palace banquet and other matters at the end of the year, and everything went smoothly.

After dividing the work in Fengxuan Palace, the queen politely stayed for half an hour before lunch, and then the two left.

After coming out, Concubine Jin sighed.

"New people are coming in one after another. When I was in the East Palace, I thought I was used to it. But I didn't expect that when I entered the harem and new people were coming in again, I still felt uncomfortable."

"Sooner or later, this day will come. The emperor only started the draft three years after he ascended the throne. It was still a small selection. There are already a lot of people missing."

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

When she said this, Concubine Jin quickly raised a smile.

"Hey, the imperial concubine is the person who is the most beloved of the emperor. No matter how many new people come into this palace, they can't compare to you, the imperial concubine!"

Knowing that she was flattering, Fang Yun only slightly curled his lips and said nothing.

The two of them went their separate ways and went back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Furong Palace that Yanbi is ill."

As soon as he returned to Yuzhang Palace, Yan Wei came forward to report.

Qingrong helped Fang Yun untie and hang up his cloak, then frowned and said.

"Really, don't pretend to be sick again."

"It was said that it snowed last night and was affected by the wind and cold. My servant has checked it and it doesn't look like it was fake at the moment." Yanwei poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over.

Fang Yun took it, warmed his hands, and said calmly after sitting down.

"We will continue to keep an eye on whether she is real or not. Everyone is busy during the Chinese New Year, so it is easy to neglect her. I think she can avoid the limelight at this time, whether she is really sick or pretending to be sick."

If you are sick, you can't go out to see people. There are many people in the palace, and after a long time, who will remember the one who can't come out after closing the door.

Yanwei nodded and kept it in mind.

In the evening, Pei Yao came to Yuzhang Palace as usual.

Fang Yun was looking at the account book and was a little surprised to see him coming.

"Didn't Wan Lingyi go to Jingqian Palace to serve the emperor's pen and ink this afternoon? Why did the emperor come to my concubine again this time?"

"Why aren't I allowed to come?"

Pei Yao skillfully handed the cloak to Qingrong who was standing next to him, and walked to the stove to warm his hands.

"You can't say that." Fang Yun glared at him, "I'm not thinking about it. The red sleeves add fragrance. The emperor will probably leave Wan Lingyi in the evening."

"Her brother has done well in court these past two days, so I summoned her to see him."

After Pei Yao's hands were warmed, he led Fang Yun to sit on the small couch by the window.

Fang Yun raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty is explaining to me why I am doing this. Is it possible that I am afraid that I am jealous?"

"More than just fear, I can already smell sourness right now." Pei Yao joked.

The two laughed and joked for a while. Pei Yao took a sip of tea before his eyes fell on the table.

"What kind of account book is this? It's almost dinner now and I'm still reading it."

"The Queen is extremely busy, so I arranged for Concubine Chen and Concubine Jin to help." Fang Yun did not shy away from the situation, and also teased, "Concubine Chen, I am taking care of my future sisters."

With that said, Pei Yao knew what kind of account book it was.

Dang even reached out and poked her forehead.

"Zoom!"

"The Emperor has not allowed anyone to say anything."

Fang Yun hummed twice.

The next moment, he was pulled into the man's arms.

"Okay, okay, you and the queen have the final say on who to choose. I don't care. You just choose the one that suits you, okay? I'm not too lazy to choose, but the rules can't be broken. As for the ministers, You can’t just ignore everything.”

As an emperor, being able to say these words to a concubine is already very favoring, and Fang Yun is naturally satisfied.

With jealousy in her beautiful eyes, she reached out and poked Pei Yao's chest.

"I'm looking forward to it. Your Majesty has met a new person. Just don't completely forget about me."

"Of course not."

Pei Yao took her hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it.

"I'm not joking with you. This draft matter really has to be left to the queen and you. There are students from several northern states who caused some trouble because of the Spring Festival incident. They reported to me this afternoon. , the Chinese New Year is coming now, so it is not appropriate to leave the palace. When the Chinese New Year is over, I have to go there in person to see the situation."

After hearing this, Fang Yun's face became more serious and he nodded obediently.

"The state affairs are important. Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Queen is here in the palace, and I will definitely assist you with all my strength. Nothing will go wrong."

"Well, the queen has always been prudent, and you are also the most careful and appropriate." Pei Yao nodded, and finally said, "I heard that Shuhui chose the son of the Zheng family. I will go to court tomorrow and have left someone to ask. It's early. It's better to make some decisions." (End of Chapter)
