The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 83
In the prime minister's mansion, these two aunts fought fiercely, and Mrs. Zhao was also happy that Aunt He would trip over Aunt Ning.Every time they quarreled in front of her to seek justice, Mrs. Zhao would hit her [-] bucks, and then secretly compensate Aunt He some gold, silver or jewelry afterwards.

What Aunt He hates the most is that she failed to give birth to a son for Prime Minister Si!But as he got older and the number of aunts in the mansion increased, Si Cheng's interest in her also decreased, and it was too difficult to conceive another son and a half!Therefore, Aunt He pinned her hopes on her daughter Si Luoru!
After the new year, Si Luoru is just 15 years old!Although it won't be until July, but rounded up to 15 years old, there is no objection!

Aunt He's intention is to send her daughter to the palace too!Even if you can't serve the emperor, it's good to be pointed out by the emperor to other princes, nobles, and sons of important ministers!
"I also know what's on your mind." Mrs. Zhao said lightly after taking a sip of tea, "But there is nothing I can do about it. The fourth girl is turning fifteen this year, so I think it's time to see the right one. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate if we delay any longer."

It is not uncommon for a girl in this era to be looked after by her parents at the age of ten!Because most girls get married at the age of 15 or [-], there are more choices for dating. Girls like Si Luoru who have not met at the age of [-] are only a minority.Because she couldn't marry a man younger than herself, and most of the men older than her were engaged, so Mrs. Zhao said that it would be wrong to delay.

Aunt He's draft dream was suddenly shattered!She has been pleading with his wife to delay Miss Fourth's marriage just to wait for the emperor's draft, how can she imagine...

"Ma'am, Miss Fourth is also the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, can't she make an exception?" Aunt He asked resolutely.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Aunt He mockingly, and said bluntly: "The Si family has already produced a queen and a concubine Shu, do you think the emperor can still bring the fourth girl into the palace? Do you think the fourth girl is so beautiful? "

Aunt He blushed from Zhao Shi's training, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only say embarrassingly: "Since this is the case, then the fourth lady's marriage has to be troubled by Madam."

The prime minister's concubine, and two older sisters are high-ranking in the palace, presumably the daughter is not too poorly married, right?Aunt He thought so.

Mrs. Zhao didn't like or dislike Si Luoru, a concubine, she was not the mistress who would treat concubine children harshly, so she didn't plan to marry Si Luoru badly!
In the past, it was the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Xu who obstructed it, so the Si family's daughter could not marry other princes, noble families, and nobles.Now that the emperor is changed, maybe there will be no such restriction.

Aunt He returned from Zhao's courtyard to the small courtyard where she lived with her daughter in a depressed mood. As soon as she entered the house, she was stopped by her daughter Si Luoru who was like a happy bird.

"Auntie, did Madam tell you to go over and mention the emperor's draft? I heard that the imperial decree has been issued! Should the mansion ask someone to teach the nuns to teach me some rules in the palace? Or ask the empress to arrange one Mammy..." Si Luoru was so excited that she couldn't stop!
During the past two years when she entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings, she had seen Dugu Ye from afar!What a young and handsome emperor with the courage to rule the country!Sluoru's heart has already flown to him!
Aunt He looked at her daughter's joyful appearance full of fantasy, and whispered: "Miss Fourth, Madam... According to the imperial decree, only the daughters of 15 to 19 years old from the families of sixth-rank officials... can be selected."

"I also have to ask my father to make some jewelry for me... what?" Si Luoru, who was talking about what to prepare for the draft, was stunned by Aunt He's words, "What kind of daughter? Aunt, did you hear wrong?" gone?"

Aunt He learned Zhao's words from her daughter, and finally persuaded: "Miss Si, entering the palace is not necessarily a good thing. If you can marry someone..."

"I don't want it! I want to enter the palace! I want the emperor to be my husband!" Si Luoru shook off Aunt He's hand and cried, "Why can the third sister, who is also a concubine, enter the palace and be a concubine?" Concubine Shangshu! I am also my father's daughter, and I want to enter the palace too!"

When Si Luoru yelled, Aunt He was taken aback, and she hurried forward to cover her daughter's mouth!

"Oh, little ancestor! Is this what a girl should say? It's really embarrassing!" Aunt He blushed and ordered the girl to go outside with a wink.

Si Luoru broke away from Aunt He's hand, wiped her tears and said unconvinced: "Mrs. must be afraid that I will enter the palace and steal the emperor's favor from the second sister, so she told Auntie like that! Auntie, go and tell Madam, If I enter the palace and become a concubine, I will definitely not be as ignorant as the third sister! I will definitely help the second sister in every way! Auntie, go and talk!"

Concubine He is not Concubine Ning's kind of concubine who is so competitive that she will use any means, fight until she loses her mind and forgets her identity!

Since his wife, Mrs. Zhao, said that Si Luoru could not participate in the draft, it must be useless!Did the emperor's order change just as he said?

How could the second lady in the palace, who became a queen, not know the content of the emperor's imperial decree?If you want your sisters to enter the palace to help, it's just a matter of talking to the emperor!As a man, the emperor has a cloud of beauties in the harem and different personalities. How can he limit the origin of the women who participate in the draft?This naturally has the emperor's own considerations!

Besides, Aunt He tried it with Mrs. Zhao, but Mrs. Zhao's sarcasm severely dissuaded her from letting her daughter enter the palace!
Besides, what a glorious thing it is to be the wife of a wealthy family!Why bother entering the palace to compete with a group of beauties for a man!
After thinking about it, Aunt He began to persuade her daughter to stop thinking about the draft.

Of course Si Luoru refused, and actually made a fuss in front of Aunt He for a long time.Later, it was Mrs. Zhao who called her over and scolded her severely, so she calmed down and stopped clamoring to go to the draft.

Empress Dowager Xu was so angry with the emperor's imperial decree that she had a headache again!

There are very few officials in the Xu family, and none of them are suitable for the requirements of the imperial edict!

Huang Momo comforted the Queen Mother, she might as well support one of the beautiful girls sent by the fifth and sixth rank officials to participate in the election!Moreover, the scope of the emperor's draft selection is small, the Xu family has a few young girls who are still growing up, and they will reach the right age in three to five years, and it will not be too late to enter the palace again!
Empress Dowager Xu felt better after listening to Madam Huang's consolation. Originally, she didn't even want to watch this draft, but in order to temporarily pick an obedient one and control it temporarily, she cheered up and occasionally asked about the show girls.

The scope of the draft is relatively small, and the officials on the list are all recorded. The Ministry of the Interior sent the draft servants and nuns to the homes of the adults living in Shangjing for the primary selection.However, if there is a legitimate daughter of the right age in the family of an official who works in a distant place, he needs to be sent to the capital to live in a designated inn or post house, and then the palace will send someone to verify his identity.

Duguye also implemented a "benevolent government" in the imperial decree: officials are not forced to send women to run for election!
In other words, even if the official's daughter meets the draft requirements, but is reluctant to send it to the palace, or knows that she will not be selected, she does not need to be included in the list of candidates!

But the fate of the fraudsters will be very miserable!Removal of officials, relegation of the whole family to official slaves, exile...enough to enjoy the blessings, why not give it a try!
The emperor's move was well received by the ministers and the people, who praised the emperor as "wise"!
In this way, it took more than a month for the preliminary selection in the early stage, and the daughters who couldn't make it to the capital were automatically regarded as "give up"!

However, we all know that the emperor will be drafting in the spring of this year, and those who are interested have already sent their daughters to the capital or a town close to the capital to live temporarily!

After the primary election, there are only 40 show girls who can enter the palace to participate in the election!

Dugu Ye frowned when he saw the roster, why so many were selected?Presumably those palace people who went to the primary election got a lot of benefits from it!

With Empress Dowager Xu supervised, Si Luoyun couldn't be lazy, and she personally asked about the draft.

Concubine Liao Xian has been helping Empress Si handle palace affairs, but when Empress Si decided to take care of it herself, she had to hand everything back to the empress without any regrets.

Seeing that Concubine Liao Xian wanted to return the power of palace management, Concubine Si Shu became anxious!

"Sister Xianfei, why do you need to be in such a hurry? Not long after the empress gave birth to the princess and the prince, it was time to take care of her body. Sister Xianfei returned all the palace affairs to the empress to take care of, wouldn't the empress be exhausted? Your Majesty?" Concubine Si Shu went to Jinglan Palace to persuade Concubine Liao Xian not to rush to return the management of palace affairs.

Concubine Liao Xian glanced at Concubine Si Shu indifferently, and could see clearly what this Concubine Shu was thinking.

"The Empress is also accompanied by a Liao officer, so it should be fine." Concubine Xian said, "Before, the Liao officer also managed palace affairs with me, and I see that she handles things in a very orderly manner."

Concubine Si Shu sneered, and said disdainfully: "Sister Xianfei, are you willing to listen to a court lady giving orders?"

Concubine Liao Xian frowned and looked at Concubine Si Shu's slightly frivolous appearance, and said tightly: "Concubine Shu, don't talk nonsense. If the empress is in charge of the palace affairs, then the order given by the Liao female official is the empress's order!"

Concubine Si Shu was taught such a lesson by Concubine Liao Xian, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so she had to leave Jinglan Palace disgruntled!
Concubine Liao Xian has handed over the management of the palace affairs. Is there any reason for Concubine Shu not to let go?

Concubine Si Shu finally had the opportunity to manage the affairs of the harem, so she was really unwilling to let it go like this!But helpless!

Si Luoyun is really not very enthusiastic about managing palace affairs, and it is very boring to deal with trivial matters every day!

But Si Luoyun did not refuse Concubine Liao Xian and Concubine Si Shu's return of power.I also thank the two concubines for their hard work.

Not long after taking back the right to manage the palace affairs, Si Luoyun ordered Concubine Liao Xian to assist the palace affairs again on the grounds that there was a Longevity Day in May and she was too busy!

However, after eight or nine days, Concubine Liao Xian, who wanted to live a relaxed life after leaving office, could only sigh and start busy again.

The empress only said to let Concubine Liao Xian assist in palace affairs, but did not mention Concubine Si Shu!Just like that, he shot Concubine Si Shu and lost the right to manage palace affairs!
After the Wanshou Festival in May, 38 out of the forty show girls entered the palace to receive etiquette instruction and prepare to participate in the second selection.The two show girls who failed to enter the palace were eliminated due to illness!

Si Luoyun's more thoughts were still on the couple. Madam Liao took care of all the palace affairs, and she only had to make up her mind to make a decision.

Five-month-old children can already turn over in the soft bedding, or lie on their stomachs and look down at their father and mother and laugh.

Elder sister Fubao is obviously stronger than her younger brother Huer, and she was the first to know how to turn over.Dugu Ye also especially favors this daughter!
Si Luoyun sat on the couch and watched Dugu Ye tease Fu Bao with the fruit, and was so anxious that Hu Er waved at her father, which meant: Father, give me a bite!Give me a bite!
Finally, Si Luoyun couldn't stand Dugu Ye's eccentricity, and put the washed fruit in front of her son, Hu'er swallowed the fruit in one gulp, and then washed the fruit again with her saliva!
