Donggong Zhangjiao

"Sister said that, I'm curious." Xu Yingyi curled her lips, "What kind of beauty is it that deserves sister's praise?"

After all, in terms of appearance, Xu Yingyi and Qiu Shaojia are indeed the best among their group of beautiful girls.

However, the show girls used to compete in batches outside, and they would all gather in one place after entering the palace, so it is not surprising that there are some with better looks.

Qiu Shaojia arched her eyebrows and smiled, "Well, the selection of concubines in this harem is not just based on appearance. That one is a concubine. I heard that she is a vase with an empty skin, so it is not a problem."

Speaking of this, Qiu Shaojia paused and seemed to think of something.

He looked around and saw no one came in, so he continued.

"But now the most favored Concubine Zhao in the palace was born as a concubine, or after a sinner. Doesn't the Emperor also like her the same? I saw Concubine Zhao at the palace banquet. In fact, she is not the most beautiful in the harem, but her charm is But no one can compare.”

"Then according to what my sister said, my sister's clan sisters may have a chance to be selected."

Xu Yingyi frowned, but said again.

"But the Emperor has gone to the north now. This time the selection should be made by the Empress, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Jin. They probably won't choose someone with a charming personality to enter the palace."

"I don't think so."

Regarding Xu Yingyi's thoughts, Qiu Shaojia shook her head.

Xu Yingyi was puzzled, "How do you say that?"

"You see, Concubine Zhao is now favored in the harem, and she has a pair of children. As far as I know, Concubine Jin and Concubine Song. These two have imperial heirs, and they are all on good terms with Concubine Zhao. Although the queen is already five years old, Prince, but... do you think the Queen will let Concubine Zhao be so doted on all the time?"

Lowering her voice, Qiu Shaojia analyzed Xu Yingyi in detail.

After hearing this, even though Xu Yingyi didn't think much, she understood the meaning.

Her beautiful eyes flashed, "Sister, are you saying that in order to share the favor of Imperial Concubine Zhao, the Queen will select women who are outstandingly beautiful and easy to control to enter the palace?"

Qiu Shaojia said nothing, but smiled helplessly at her.

Seeing this, Xu Yingyi seemed a little annoyed.

"If this is the case, the Queen will definitely choose someone with a low family background and good looks. If the news that only four people are chosen is true, wouldn't it increase our chances of losing the election?"

Compared with her confidence at the beginning, Xu Yingyi felt a little uneasy now.

Qiu Shaojia looked indifferent and patted her hand.

"Okay, don't think too much, everything is destined. Even if you are not selected, you can walk around the palace and talk about the marriage when you get out. Besides, this time it is not just the emperor who chooses, I heard that the descendants of the clan will also be given marriages. How many?"

"How can you compare with the Emperor?"

Xu Yingyi muttered.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Qiu Shaojia shrugged helplessly, "If the number of places is limited, there is nothing you can do if you fail. There are many beautiful girls in this group. Unless others turn into ugly monsters overnight, no one can guarantee it." We will definitely win, so let’s learn the rules in a down-to-earth manner first.”

After saying this, Qiu Shaojia glanced outside and stood up immediately.

"It seems that the person delivering the luggage is here. Let's pack up and take a rest. We'll start learning the rules after lunch."

Xu Yingyi seemed to have something on her mind, she responded in a low voice and said nothing more.

Yuzhang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the ladies have already settled in Linxiu Palace and will start learning the rules in the afternoon."

Qingrong came in from outside and reported in a low voice.

Fang Yun was looking at the roster at the moment, without raising his head, and responded in a low voice.

"Is there any action on the Queen's side?"

"No, this batch of beautiful girls should be left to Grandma Wang, who used to be in charge of this." Qingrong said truthfully.

Fang Yun nodded, "Let Grandma Wang take the trouble to keep an eye on some dishonest people. Don't make any noise and cause trouble. Everyone's face will be ugly then." "Don't worry, I have already given instructions to you." Qingrong replied, and then whispered, "Mother, I saw an old acquaintance among these beautiful girls."

Hearing this, Fang Yun finally looked away from the things in his hands.

"Old acquaintance?"

"Yes." Qingrong nodded, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the girl who bought lanterns when the Emperor took your Majesty out to play in the palace during your canonization ceremony last year?"

Fang Yun searched in his mind for a while and nodded.

"She has an outstanding appearance and is well-dressed. She seems to be a girl from a wealthy family."

"Her family background is not low." Qingrong pursed her lips, "I have inquired about her, and she is the legitimate daughter of Mr. Qiu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Her name is Qiu Shaojia."

After saying this, Fang Yun quickly flipped through the roster with his hand, and his eyes fell on this name.

"It is true that the family background and appearance are good. The Queen even mentioned it."

"Will she be selected? This slave looks at her as if she is thoughtful and restless."

Qingrong curled her lips.

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "As expected, her family background will definitely be selected."

Now is the time for Pei Yao to win over the generals in Beijing.

He had not been on the throne for a long time, so he had to take some quick way to gather all the military power in the capital into his own hands.

Taking in concubines is undoubtedly an easy way to win people's hearts compared to fighting those old foxes in the court.

The harem and the former dynasty have always been connected.

Hearing this, Qingrong looked a little disappointed.

However, Fang Yun continued, "I see that there is another person named Qiu on this list, called Qiu Si. Are she related to Qiu Shaojia?"

Speaking of this, Qingrong thought for a while and answered quickly.

"The two are from the same family. Qiu Shaojia is the direct branch. Qiu Si's father is an official in the Ministry of Rites, or a minor official, and is a side branch. The two families are considered relatives, but they are not very close."

"I know that Qiu Si's father is just a member of the Ministry of Rites, and is indeed not worth mentioning compared to the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army."

Fang Yun closed the register, a hint of amusement flashed in his beautiful eyes.

"But I have also heard that Qiu Si is very good-looking and can be called the best among the show girls. If they all enter the palace, there will be drama between these two sisters in the future."

"Your Majesty is still in the mood to talk about this. I went to Linxiu Palace today, and I have a headache when I see those newcomers."

Qingrong curled her lips helplessly.

But Fang Yun only smiled faintly, "What's the use of worrying? Could it be that if I bother you, they won't enter the palace? Instead of worrying, it's better to feel at ease. The emperor is so young, how come there are no women around him."

After saying that, he asked Qingrong to pour himself a cup of tea, and then started to arrange the next things.

Fang Yun knew very well that it was only now that he was favored.

When you are good, everything is good for you. When you are angry, quarreling and jealous, that is all good. When you are tired of it, even if you try to please someone in every possible way, it is also wrong.

So Fang Yun didn't care how nice what Pei Yao said to her now, she just listened. It was okay to flirt, but not to be pampered.

Therefore, when this new person entered the palace, Fang Yun had already made up his mind and accepted it with ease.

After all, in Fang Yun's view, no matter how many people come in or how many people disappear, she has only one purpose, and that is to hold Pei Yao's heart, instead of spending time dealing with other concubines.

However, not everyone has her awareness, especially the newcomers who have just entered the palace.

No, just two days after the beautiful ladies entered the palace, trouble broke out.
