Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 485 Growing Up (1)
Emperor Xian De didn't let them get up, but instead said to a man in his fifties who was wearing a first-grade civil official's uniform: "Yu Aiqing, what do you think of these two court ladies? Can they catch your eyes?"

This person is Yu Ding, the second assistant of the cabinet and concurrently the secretary of the household department.

Unlike Chief Assistant Zhang Wenhe, who was afraid of his wife and had to ask for instructions even to sleep with a concubine, this Second Assistant Master was a lustful one, and when he was old, he still lived among the flowers without touching his body. There is also a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right in the family.

Fortunately, he is capable and loyal, Emperor Xiande just turned a blind eye to the minor problems of the officials, as long as they don't delay their work because of their hobbies.

In fact, it is only when there are shortcomings that they can be controlled. If the courtiers are really flawless and have no flaws at all, it will make the emperor suspicious.

He bestowed two beauties on Yu Ding, which can win over him, make him more loyal to him, work harder for him, and solve troubles, why not do it!

This can be regarded as a common method used by the emperor. I feel that most of the courtiers are willing to accept it. Even if there are a few who are not happy, they have to pretend to be happy.

Sure enough, Yu Ding opened his bright eyes and looked at the two maids, because the emperor had revealed that he would give him two stunning beauties as concubines, so he didn't have too many scruples.

In normal times, when he entered the palace, no matter how beautiful the maid was, he could only keep his eyes fixed.

Because these maids, just like the maidservants in their family, belong only to the emperor, who dares to look around?

Yu Ding sized up the two little beauties with his eyes that read thousands of sails, and the creases on his face deepened a little with joy, and immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the maids in the palace are all thousands of Is it bad to be chosen out of thousands of people? If you can’t even catch them, there will be very few people in this world who can catch the eyes of veterans.”

In fact, he only saw the figures and backs of the two maids, but did not see their appearances. However, as carefully selected court ladies, their appearances are not bad, so he was not disappointed at all. , Even if you don't see their faces, you can guess that they look good.

Emperor Xiande was very satisfied with Ding's understanding, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I will reward them all to you."

"Thank you for your majesty's reward. I will definitely do my best to serve the emperor, and I will spare no effort. Long live my emperor!" Yu Ding was extremely happy, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor to thank him.

Unlike Yu Ding's joy, Song Qiuqing and Zhao Lanzhu were stunned as if struck by lightning.They entered the palace because they wanted to be the emperor's concubines, not the minister's concubines!

Song Qiuqing in particular felt ashamed all of a sudden, her whole body seemed to be wilted, and she became muddleheaded.

However, after Zhao Lanzhu was shocked at the beginning, he quickly recovered, and was even very satisfied with the result.

The other party is the second assistant, the dignified minister of the household department, and the elder of the cabinet. If she is in normal times, she is not qualified to enter his house.

What's more, there are always fewer women in the Cifu's family than in the palace, and the competition is not so fierce. Mr. Yuge is not too old. If he has a son and a half in the future, he will have support, which is better than in the palace. It is better to fight for the emperor with so many women.

Besides, she was bestowed by the emperor, and her status was inherently superior. Even the mistress would not dare to beat and scold her at will. If she was favored by Mr. Yuge, she would still be able to support the family. Calculated in this way, it would be more cost-effective than staying in the palace.

Seeing Song Qiuqing's shocked appearance, Zhao Lanzhu curled her lips in disdain.

With the example of Song Qiuqing and Zhao Lanzhu, Emperor Xiande quickly rewarded all the fifty beauties selected by the queen mother to win over his courtiers, and none of them stayed. As a result, the queen mother became "sick again" "Are.

However, the beautiful maids selected by the queen mother, queen and concubines were not sent away.However, at this juncture, they did not dare to act rashly, and could only lie dormant secretly, waiting for the opportunity.

Concubine Hu Gui was also very angry.The loss of two bracelets was nothing, but she was humiliated and severely slapped in the face. Those boring concubines laughed at her behind her back!After the queen mother fell ill, she also fell ill and did not go out for a long time.

It's spring again.

Time flies, and it is two years in a blink of an eye.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Xiande was reviewing the memorial, all the palace people were watching with their eyes, nose, nose and heart, standing aside with their hands down, not listening to a single movement.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a small rustling sound in the hall, Emperor Xiande paused his hand for reviewing the memorial, the corners of his lips were slightly curled up, and there was a faint smile on his face, and then, as if As if nothing was found, he continued to review the memorial.

After a while, a little red figure suddenly flashed out from a small door at the back of the hall and entered the front hall.

In fact, his movement was not small, almost everyone noticed it, but no one took a look at it. The little man thought he was doing it very covertly, and there was a trace of complacency in his big black eyes, and he almost laughed. He made a sound, but he hurriedly covered his mouth, looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he relaxed his movements, retracted his hands and feet, like a cat walking upright, tiptoeing to the show Dedi went.

After walking to the horizon, the little man suddenly took a deep breath, raised his hands to his lips in the shape of a trumpet, and was about to shout: "Father—"

"Tuantuan, you're being naughty again."

However, before he could utter the word "Huang", he was choked back by Emperor Xian De's words.

Xian De put down his pen and looked at the little guy in front of him who was trying to play a prank, with a helpless and doting smile on his face.

The person who came was him and Su Wan's son Tuantuan. Now that two years have passed, he has changed from a baby to a child now.

I saw him wearing a big red jacket embroidered with golden dragon patterns, wearing the prince's signature Yuanqing crepe six-petal round hat, and a pair of big black eyes, black and white, but clearly with a bit of innocence and cunning , It's a worry at first glance.

The fact is true, this guy has been full of energy since he was born, and he has never stopped until now. He can't leave people for a moment. Yuanyuan's younger sister is a hundred times more difficult.

And every time he got into trouble, he always acted innocent, he had cheated them a few times, and escaped punishment a few times.

Tuantuan was not disappointed when he saw that his father had found him, instead, showing his cute and invincible face, he threw himself on Emperor Xian De with a smile, hugged his thigh, and said like a dog: "Father , I miss you."
