This draft is the emperor's first general election after he ascended the throne, and the scale is quite grand.

The huge harem, which was originally empty, will be bustling with activity from now on. Although there are not as many as three hundred new talents, servants, and ladies in the previous dynasty, there will always be one hundred, and there are quite a few Jieyu and Zhaoyi. .

After Cheng Xunxun spit out a number in a slow and orderly manner, Yu Zhu couldn't help thinking of a sentence evilly: 3000 beauties in the harem, and the iron pestles were ground into embroidery needles.

How apt, I don't know if the emperor saw Yingying and Yanyan who could form several Cuju teams when he looked over for the last time, would he feel powerless?

"I didn't expect that..." Yu Zhu shook her head and sighed.

Cheng Xunxun smiled and said, "Where did you think, the current emperor is not a perverted person, but he can't help himself." There are ancestors' rules, and there is a balance between the government and the opposition. What the emperor has to do is only after everything is arranged. Nod, just follow a procedure.

Yu Zhu didn't want to talk too much about this kind of issue that could not be discussed, and it would affect his mood.Just when the maids came in to set the meal, she dragged Cheng Xunxun to eat.

From the second day onwards, imperial decrees came out of the palace one after another, and the news also spread into the Duke's mansion.

In this draft, there were no concubines directly, but there were four concubines.

First, Cui Yueyu, the daughter of the second concubine of Pingyuan Hou's mansion, was made a Kang concubine, and then the eighth lady of the Ji family, who was born to the former emperor Yuan Empress, became a concubine... and Chu Huixian, the sixth lady of the Chu family, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was also lucky. , was made a concubine; the last one was Xiaojiabiyu, whose father was only a sixth-rank official, and it was not known whether it was a blessing or a curse to be made a concubine.

As for the women who were Feng Jieyu and Zhaoyi, except for a concubine in the Yongchang Hou Mansion, the others are all daughters of capable officials who the emperor can use.

Not to mention whether the status will be promoted in the future, entering the palace itself is a great honor, so their father and brother can't help but work harder... I have to say that the Queen Mother's vision and means are excellent.

Half a month later, in the imperial garden of the imperial palace.

Princess Zhuyi sat in a small pavilion surrounded by green trees, staring blankly at the withered pomegranate flowers on the branches, her eyes were deep, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Behind her, the old nanny who stayed close to her for half a step showed worry in her eyes, opened her mouth but still said nothing.

Not far away, there was a lot of movement, followed by the delicate and clear laughter of the young woman, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, obviously playing around.

Princess Zhuyi's gaze turned, and she looked at the place where the voice came from.

The old nanny hurriedly took a step forward, and said: "The few little hooves who have just entered the palace, the rules have not been adjusted well, and if they disturb the master's peace...the servants will return when they go."

"Aunt Yu, you don't have to go." The old servant stopped, and Princess Zhuyi's face remained unchanged, and she put her hands on the stone table on her knees, "What am I... Although these have just entered the palace, they will be in the future." But they are all nobles."

Aunt Yu frowned and said, "How can the princess think like this, you are the only direct blood in this palace, who dare not take you seriously."

Princess Zhuyi smiled faintly, shook her head, and murmured softly: "...In the end, the success will fall short."

She turned her head slightly to look at Aunt Yu, and asked, "Tell me, is it because the Empress Dowager didn't want to just let me go, and that's why she killed Mrs. Cheng Guogong, so that I could live and die in this deep palace?"

"master"

Even though she was used to seeing strong winds and waves, Aunt Yu was also frightened by her words, so she hurriedly stopped her, and then carefully looked at the movement around her.

"You are confused. If people hear this, it might cause some trouble."

Princess Zhuyi saw that the old nanny who had taken care of her since childhood turned pale with fright, so she cut off the conversation.

After a moment of silence, he said again: "The Ji family is happy now. They finally got their wish and sent their daughter to the palace... The queen mother is so generous that she is willing to take out a concubine."

"Hmph, I'm afraid the Ji family isn't doing their best." The lowered voice was tinged with coolness.

Aunt Yu hesitated and said: "Master, you should think about it too much. Although Miss Ji's entry into the palace will definitely take away most of the people, the emperor and the empress dowager have already agreed to your progress family... Junwu is not joking. of."

"Right now, it's man for the sword and I for the fish... Yes, she sent a little maid to tell me, but is there an imperial edict? Is there an imperial edict? None, then she can change her mind as she pleases." Zhu Yi The princess bit her lip tightly, restraining her anger.

"Then...the Ji family..."

"Ji family? Hmph, the Ji family has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally sent another daughter into the palace, and even made her a concubine. They are eager to show their strengths, so naturally they don't want to waste any energy. It's on the newly appointed Depin."

Aunt Yu trembled angrily, "Then they are not afraid that you will shake the hands of all the people they planted in the palace?"

Princess Zhuyi waved her hands and laughed at herself: "I was the one who frightened them. Since I was married far away, so many years have passed, things have already changed, old and new, those who go out and those who come in, and those who are overtly and secretly. How can I tell the difference."

At this time, the looming laughter suddenly became louder, as if people were coming this way.

Princess Zhuyi and Aunt Yu stopped talking.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and I heard a woman's clear voice, lively and full of vitality: "It's just ahead... That pavilion was discovered a few days ago. It's a small one, exquisite and cute. It looks like something." Yes, let's go to rest now, and keep it safe."

The other woman had to be more cautious, and stopped weakly, "It's too remote to go further in, what if there is a snake or something... I think the pavilion we passed just now is very good, or... ..."

The unfinished words came to an abrupt end when she saw the two people in the booth.

Princess Zhuyi sized up the two people who broke in, both of them were dressed in palace attire, the pink one had a cute face, her eyes were crystal clear, and her grinning mouth hadn't had time to close.

After a moment of panic, the woman in pea blue tugged at the woman in pink beside her, and the two walked forward together.

After meeting each other, Princess Zhuyi first smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I came out casually to get some air and met Concubine De and Concubine Kang."

Saying so, his eyes turned to the woman in the pea blue palace dress.

De Concubine felt uncomfortable with her naked scrutiny. Ever since the imperial decree ennobled her as De Concubine entered the house, her father had repeatedly emphasized to himself that she must stay away from this princess after entering the palace... …

It's just so unfortunate that I met here...

"...Don't disturb the peace of Princess Zhuyi, let's go now."

Before they could move, they heard Princess Zhuyi's laughter: "Since you're here, sit down for a while, I was just looking for someone to talk to, and you came here just by coincidence, isn't it fate?"

There was no other way, so Debi had no choice but to sit down with concern.

"It's been half a month since you entered the palace, what's not you used to?" Princess Zhuyi picked up the teapot and poured tea with her own hands, being affectionate and gentle.

"Everything is fine, the emperor and the empress dowager are very kind, and the palace people are also considerate in their service." Concubine De replied cautiously, taking the teacup with her head down.

Princess Zhuyi's eyebrows were slightly lowered, she had a faint smile, and said casually: "Really... It's rare that the queen mother had some gaps with her late mother, the queen mother, and could still look at you differently... But yours To be blessed is to cherish the blessing."

Debi's heart skipped a few beats, but she didn't show it on her face, and walked away with a smile.

Concubine Concubine Kang watched the two talking with blinking eyes, and looked at the old nanny who was behind Princess Zhuyi with some bored sideways eyes.

It's different from the general aunt in charge in the palace... There is an indescribable temperament.

Princess Zhuyi just happened to see her gaze, and said with a smile, "Concubine Kang is interested in me, Aunt Yu?"

"No, no..." Concubine Kang waved her hand hastily, thinking about what she wanted to say, "I just think this nanny is really kind. From the capital to the Xiongnu and back to the capital, she has been guarding you." This reminded her Unfortunately, my wet nurse was ignorant when she was a child, and she got too close to her wet nurse, which caused her to be sent to Zhuangzi by her mother.

Thinking of that embrace full of sex, she felt a little depressed.

Concubine De is in a hurry, it is not an honor to be sent to be married, and no one likes to hear it, so that it has already become a tacit taboo in the palace. up.

Princess Zhuyi's eyes really changed, she narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression complicated.

"It's getting late, the emperor wants to go to your place for dinner today, it's time to go back." Concubine De hurriedly made amends, and gave Kang Concubine a look, "You must be crazy today..."

After the two left, after a while, Princess Zhuyi sighed softly, got up and left.

……

"Why don't you think about it before you speak, is what you said just now acceptable?" He came out to find the maid and eunuch who had been thrown away, and the two walked back together.

Because the relationship between the boudoirs is very good, so getting along with each other is much more casual. At this moment, Concubine De is so anxious that she wants to poke her forehead: "Princess Zhuyi must be upset."

"Why?" When she was at home, she clearly heard her grandfather say that the princess of Zhuyi had contributed to the country and saved the war.

Debi let out a long sigh, and pressed her brows with some headaches, not knowing what to say to this lump.

Walking halfway, the emperor's dragon chariot came to meet him. There were also 16 people, and a handsome man sat on the dragon seat decorated with bright yellow satin in the middle.

The two hurriedly led the palace people back to the side of the road to salute, and they didn't straighten up until the dragon chariot had gone far away.

"Sister Hua, let's go."

Concubine Kang patted Depin on the shoulder.

"The emperor is really filial. No matter how busy the state affairs are, he will not stop paying his respects to the queen mother every day." Debi retracted her gaze and smiled with her lips pursed.

"That is, all good filial piety comes first, and the emperor is a role model for all people in the world. Naturally, you can't ignore it." Concubine Kang said old-fashionedly, raised her legs and walked forward, and after walking a few steps, she asked, "Sister Hua, what do you think I am preparing for the emperor?" eat?"

Concubine De's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "This is the first time the emperor goes to eat at your place, so you have to prepare well... I heard that the emperor likes spicy food, otherwise you ordered the kitchen to add some? Anyway, the emperor's There are certain rules for the dishes, even if he doesn't like those dishes, it doesn't matter."

"Well, I listen to Sister Hua." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
