The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

Chapter 179: Nonsense, who gave him the courage? (Third update)
Zhao Youzheng was safely sent back to Chonghua Palace. Gu Wanyu stood in front of the palace gate and said politely to him:
"Manager Zhao still needs to keep an eye on the matters in Fengqi Palace, so I won't let you rest. Come to Chonghua Palace for tea another day."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has defeated this servant," Zhao Youzheng nodded and said, "My Majesty, please rest in peace, I will leave."

"Mr. Zhao, walk slowly."

After watching Zhao Youzheng go away, she turned around and walked back into the palace.
"The servant looked at her coldly. That shrewd Aunt Nai probably wanted to blame Concubine Shu for the matter."

After entering the palace gate, Qing Huan lowered his voice and said.

Gu Wanyu raised her lips and smiled, "It's hard for her to protect the master loyally, but Concubine Shu is not as easy to control as Mrs. Shen."

From the incident of the eldest princess, it can be seen that Concubine Shu is a deep-seated person in the city!
Sure enough, news came out the next day——

Concubine Lan was demoted to the throne of Ronghua and was banned for three months. A palace maid next to her ordered her to die.

But Concubine Shu had nothing to do with it, not even a word was mentioned.

The Queen excused herself from the greetings for the past few days on the grounds that she had eaten the wrong food and her body still needed to be recuperated.
She was also happy to be quiet and started to stay in bed in the morning.

But the Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she called Song Jingzhang to Shoukang Palace that day.
"Zhang'er, there are only two or three concubines in the harem now. The Queen and Ning Zhaoyi are both pregnant, and Mrs. Li committed a crime and was demoted and banned. All in all, only Concubine Shu and Wang Gui's concubines can sleep with them. What does this look like?”

The Queen Mother held Song Jingzhang's hand and shook her head, "It is said that among the three thousand beauties of the late Emperor, even among your brothers, none of them are as good as you."

Song Jingzhang remained silent, he already knew what the Queen Mother meant.

Sure enough, the last sentence was, "Now that the filial piety period has begun, are there any preparations for the draft?"

The Queen Mother has a good plan,
Once the draft is held, even if Song Jingzhang is not happy,
As long as she helps choose a few more, and when the time comes to enter the palace, she won't be afraid that none of them can win his heart.

Song Jingzhang gave a wry smile and said, "Mother, now that the border war in the north is about to break out, how can my son have the heart to hold the draft again?"

"What's more, once the general election is held, all parts of Dayin will be mobilized. Wouldn't it be a waste of people and money?"

The Queen Mother was speechless,

If it was for other reasons, she could still talk about it, but once it involved the previous dynasty and the war, it was hard for her to mention other things. Moreover, the Queen Mother was also very sensible. As long as it was political affairs, she never said much.

"It involves the important matter of royal reproduction, and it can't be considered a waste of people and money. However, since there is going to be a war, it is true that we can no longer conduct large-scale drafts."

Song Jingzhang nodded, "The queen is wise."

"You can't do it on a large scale, but you can do it on a small scale." The Queen Mother looked at him angrily.
"Well, we don't have to waste so many manpower and charters. We just select a few young ladies of the right age from the official families in the capital to enter the palace."

Song Jingzhang raised his eyebrows,
Obviously he didn't expect that his always cautious mother would come up with such a method.
After regaining consciousness, he pondered for a moment and said:
"But the queen is not well now, Concubine Shu has to take care of the eldest princess, and Ning Zhaoyi is getting older. There really is no one in charge to take care of it. Why not wait until the war is over before discussing it?"

"Why bother to work for them? Although the Ai family is old, they are not old-sighted. It is still a good idea to choose a few concubines for you."

"Mother!"

Song Jingzhang looked at the Queen Mother who seemed determined to fill the harem for him, and couldn't help but smile.

The Queen Mother saw what he meant and waved her hand hurriedly, "Okay, it's settled."

"You don't have to worry about anything else. Just be busy with your state affairs. Everything is going well."

No matter what, there are not many people of the right age in Beijing, and most of them have fathers and brothers who are capable, so just take your pick. Song Jingzhang saw that the Queen Mother persisted, and when he thought about it carefully, it was not a bad thing, he nodded in agreement.
It's just that he didn't issue an explicit edict, so as to save the ministers from speculating and spending money, the Queen Mother directly summoned people to the palace to see him.

The Queen Mother sent him away cheerfully, then turned around and asked Aunt Ping to sort out the list of eligible daughters in the capital and make preparations.

Song Jingzhang didn't take this to heart at all, and after returning to the Xuanzheng Palace, he began to prepare for war with the small barbarian country in the Northern Wilderness.

I had a false alarm last night.
Although it was found out that Concubine Lan put some amazing potion in the royal kitchen's soup for the Queen's filial piety when she was taking the meal.

But fortunately, the queen is fine and everyone is happy.

Now there are two concubines in the harem who are happy, one of them is the mother of the country.
It was an indescribable benefit to the stability of the previous dynasty.

Now that people's hearts were stabilized, Song Jingzhang no longer tolerated it. Taking advantage of the full treasury and strong troops and horses, he directly sent troops to Beihuang.

The previous dynasty was going to war, and the concubines in the harem were always paying attention to the news of the previous dynasty.

Gu Wanyu thought she had nothing to do with her and didn't pay much attention to her.

Unexpectedly, something happened just a few days after the army set off for the expedition.

"What are you doing hesitantly?" Gu Wanyu glanced at her, "Just tell me if you have anything to do."

"Mr. Xu ordered people to send news that the young master and the young master have gone with the army to the border."

"What?" Gu Wanyu frowned and stood up in shock.

Qinghuan said it again, and finally said with comfort: "Master, don't worry, the young master is alert, and with those brothers at his side, I think there won't be any accidents."

"Nonsense! Who gave him the courage? Is the border war a joke?"

Anger filled her eyes, Gu Wanyu waved her hand and slapped it on the table with a "bang" sound,
Upon seeing this, many slaves in the palace knelt down one after another, bowing their heads and not daring to breathe.
But she didn't look at it and directly ordered:

"Send a message to Rang Xu Ling and ask him to take people to get Liu Fu back now."

"Yes, yes, I will go now. Master, don't be angry. You have to take care of yourself and the little master in your belly."

Qing Huan quickly agreed, winked at Qing Dai, then turned around and went out to deliver the message.

"Master, don't be anxious. The young master has just left not long ago. As long as Mr. Xu leads his people and work hard, they will definitely be able to stop him."

Qingdai gently helped her sit down, poured a glass of milk and handed it to her hand, comforting her softly.

Gu Wanyu sighed deeply and took the teacup without drinking it. She just held it in her hand.

"How can I not be in a hurry?"

Having heard Song Jingzhang briefly mention those words before, she knew that things must be in chaos over there now.
Although Gu Liufu is clever and has a group of little beggars following him, he is unable to defeat four hands with two fists, and fighting requires real swords and guns. Who cares about his identity, where he comes from, and whether he is clever or not?
When encountering that small barbarian country in the Northern Wilderness, it would be a good idea to have one's throat sealed with a sword. I am afraid that I will be captured and tortured in every possible way.
Thinking of this, she sighed again, "Okay, why are you just thinking about going to the border?"

The path she envisioned for Gu Liufu was to study hard and take the imperial examination.

He is not required to be the top scorer in high school, but as long as he can obtain a Jinshi degree,
It would be better for her to go to Song Jingzhang to beg for mercy. It doesn’t matter how big or small the official position is, as long as she is given a real job.
After a few more years of experience, I'll be able to get promoted.

Unexpectedly, I didn't notice it for a while, but people went to the front line.
