Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 378
For several days in succession, hundreds of officials persuaded the new emperor to enrich the harem above the main hall.

Now there is only Concubine Yuan in the harem, and she was promoted directly from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The old people in the previous mansion were all dismissed, except for the imperial concubine and empress, there was no woman to lie beside the king.

The officials are in a hurry.

Many low-ranking courtiers are waiting for the new king to succeed to the throne to choose concubines, thinking about sending their own daughters into the palace.

This wishful thinking was laid out early, and the family also spent a lot of money teaching the daughter to learn the rules of the palace.

But wait and wait, and don't hear about the draft.

These days, the Chaoyang Palace can be said to be full of tongues and tongues. The faction of Lu Guogong and Zuo Xiang thinks that the new king has just ascended the throne, and the country and the country should be the most important.

First, govern the country and secure the country, and talk about the harem, which can be left for a while.

The low-level ministers also formed a faction, thinking that at this time, the heirs should be the most important thing, and the harem should be filled.

You have been arguing with me for a long time, but you heard the new monarch sitting on the dragon chair and said leisurely, "The imperial concubine is deeply in my heart, Duke Lu has raised a good daughter."

All the officials were stunned, not knowing why the sage suddenly said this.

Ying Su looked at the sudden silence of the court hall, and a sense of ups and downs sarcasm flashed through his narrow eyes.

His face was calm, and he opened his lips and said, "Duke Lu has been managing the household department in an orderly manner these days, and his son has also been serving the court. It just so happens that the position of right minister is vacant right now. I see Duke Lu sitting there The aspect is just right."

Lu Jinyan didn't expect this to happen, he clenched his fists tightly, his limbs and bones were filled with glory.

Ying Su is not a faint king, he promoted Lu Jinyan's official position not because of his own sweetheart, but because he was extremely satisfied with Lu Jinyan's knowledge.

From his point of view, all the officials couldn't bear the fact that the Lu family's daughter alone dominated the harem. Now that Lu Jinyan has been promoted to an official position, no one would like the family's prosperity.

You know, the Lu family had just entered Beijing a year ago, but it was inevitable that they would be run over by their jokes everywhere.

But now?

A minister wearing a fourth-rank official uniform walked out of the crowd with a wat board in his hand. His face was full of dissatisfaction, and his face was pale and white, "Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do!"

"Say." Ying Su's words were so concise that people couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger.

The minister hesitated for a while, but still bit the bullet and said, "I think that your majesty's harem concubines are weak, so it's better to draft as soon as possible."

Back and forth, and back to this matter again.

Ying Su fixedly looked at the minister of His Highness with horror, and a gust of cold wind penetrated from the soles of his feet into his spine.

"You guys are forcing me to choose a talent show. I don't know if it's really for my sake, or is it just for your own official positions?"

The words were so powerful that the ministers who were yelling about the draft just now lowered their heads in unison, showing embarrassment of being punctured in every way.

"If I want to put my daughter in the palace as a widow, I don't mind. But I don't have a position, and I won't be favored, and I won't let you old people who want to rely on their daughters to get rich!"

"In the huge harem, it is not impossible to find a room to lock up and raise some female relatives!"

Feeding?

Wouldn't that be treating people like animals?
I thought it was a decent thing to send my daughter into the palace, but now look at it, living such a life that is neither human nor ghost, and let my family be looked at as a joke outside?

Instead of being sent to the palace, it's better to find a third-tier door to marry.

If you have a good nepotism, maybe you will be able to climb up the official rank.

In the early morning, all the officials made a fuss about letting the new emperor accept concubines, and it didn't take long for the news to reach Huae Hall.

The lunch was set, but Lu Ziyu was so flustered that he couldn't swallow a single bite of the food.

It's not that she can't trust her father's promise, but now the officials are pressing her tightly, and she's afraid that there will be some rift in the previous court.

The new monarch just succeeded to the throne, and the most taboo is to disagree with his courtiers, and finally fell apart.

Usually at noon, Yingsu would come to Huae Hall to accompany Lu Ziyu for dinner, but today, for some reason, Lu Ziyu waited for a long time, but no one was expected to come.

She was distraught.

It's just a few words that spread to the harem about the matter of the previous dynasty, how could it be possible to figure out the meaning of the emperor in a simple way?
At noon in early summer, Lu Ziyu was wearing a wide-sleeved, chest-length skirt made of lotus root powder, sitting at the Eight Immortals table, staring at the plates of delicacies in a daze.

Sixi walked in through the door, and seeing this situation, she couldn't help but asked in doubt, "The sun is going to go west soon, why doesn't the imperial concubine have to eat? But today's food is not to your liking?"

"Is Your Majesty coming?" Lu Ziyu asked listlessly, raising his eyelids.

"Come on, I'm afraid I'm still busy in Longyan Hall right now." Sixi said vaguely, and quietly glanced at the expression of her concubine, "Why don't you eat first? Don't starve to death."

"Leave it, I don't have any appetite either." Lu Ziyu held the thin silk magpie bridge fan and waved it lazily towards the table full of food.

Sixi tried to persuade her again and again, but to no avail, she had to ask the maids to withdraw the meal.

The sky was dark, and Xu time had passed.

The courtyard of the Calyx Palace is empty, unlike the other day filled with flirting and cursing.

"Sixi—" Lu Ziyu raised his delicate jaw and yelled out of the hall.

But after a while, a figure in a gray silk satin gown rushed over, "What is your order? But you want the small kitchen to deliver meals?"

Lu Ziyu hadn't eaten all day, she was in a restless mood right now, how could she have the leisure to sit down and drink tea.

"I don't have any appetite, no need." The winking eyes twirled around Sixi's body for some reason, "Go! Bring me a set of clothes exactly like yours."

In Longyan Hall, Babao pushed open the door, and walked in with a little eunuch with a pink face and jade carvings.

The little eunuch lowered his head, holding a mahogany tray in his hand, on which was a bowl of nourishing decoction, with a faint smell of mutton.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. How about drinking a bowl of ginseng soup?" Babao raised his head and asked the man sitting upright.

Ying Su put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "That's fine."

Seeing that the person agreed, Babao hurriedly winked at the little eunuch with powdered noodles behind him.

Although the little eunuch was wearing a gray coat, he couldn't hide his obsequiousness.

The porcelain bowl was placed in Ying Su's hands.

Deer Antler Stewed Whip Soup.
So make up?
Ying Su subconsciously wanted to raise her eyes to look at the little eunuch beside her, but just halfway through her eyes, Mi Xue's tender muscles caught her eyes.

For a moment, I fully understood.

"Go down, I'll just leave someone to add water and grind ink."

No need to guess, this was obviously said to Babao.

The next day at the Longyan Palace, there were only three or two eunuchs with familiar faces, but now a newcomer came, but he was left by the emperor on his own initiative, which was self-evident.

The door of the temple was closed, only a slight snort was left.

Ying Su put down the soup in her hand, unhurriedly took a clean pen brush from the pen holder, and slid it in along the slit next to the gray robe.

Take it out again, the wolf hair is wet, as if washed with water.

The little noodle eunuch trembled and fell into the cold arms of the man.

She bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, crying softly.

In the ear, there was a low joking sound.

"Before it even started, Jiaojiao couldn't help throwing herself into her arms first?"
