Houmen's runaway wife

Chapter 335
Yuan Hua suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a stiff tone, "Why should the prince take the favor of others, but he is only a mere woman."

Yuan Zhen looked at Yuan Hua with disdain in his eyes: "I never try to force others to like me." He didn't know who Bi Shui was, and Yuan Hua also found the wrong person.

In the end, Yuan Hua left Wenhua Hall full of anger.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and it was a new dynasty.Many things need a new order.The entire palace has been reshuffled, and the system has undergone major changes.In the previous dynasty, six ministries were preserved, and supervisory agencies and internal twelve prisons were added.

Great changes have also taken place in the harem palace. The Queen's Palace was renamed Jingyang Palace, and the residence of Concubine Wen Gui was Chengqian Palace.In addition to the queen and noble concubine, there are also one imperial concubine, eight concubines and nine concubines, nine Jieyu, Zhaoyi, beauties, and talents each, and 27 nobles, servants, and ladies each.Now, the harem is hanging in the air, and the draft plan needs to be carried out immediately.

Jingyang Palace was very busy with this.Empress Zhuge sat at the head of the main hall, listening to the reports of related matters from the ladies in the palace below.

"Empress, the draft system has basically been set, please have a look." Li Shanggong presented the notebook in his hand to the queen.

"No need, read it to me." Zhuge didn't want to bother.Who would choose a concubine for their husband?As a last resort.

"Yes, ma'am." Li Shanggong began to read respectfully:
"For emperors, princes, concubines, and concubines, girls from good families should be carefully selected. The age is about 13 to 16 years old, and only women who are not doctors, witches, merchants and workers can participate." Li Shanggong's voice was clear and clear, which was particularly pleasant to hear.

After listening to the queen, she nodded.Ever since, the draft officially began.

Emperor Minghe sent people from all walks of life across the country to find 13 girls aged 16 to [-].The internal supervisor in charge of the draft is the newly promoted Chief Eunuch Wang Cheng.After Wang Cheng took a fancy to a certain woman, he would pay some silver coins as a dowry, and then ordered his parents to send them to the capital within one month.After all the beauties have gathered in the capital, they will be divided into groups.

On the first day after the grouping, the internal supervisor still inspected and selected a group of women from the overall appearance, such as those who were slightly taller, shorter, fatter, and thinner were excluded from the court ladies; The selection is more careful. The internal supervision will start with the five sense organs, and check whether the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, back, etc. are out of order. If there is one out of order, it will be eliminated. You have to listen to the voice, and you can't speak clearly when serving the emperor or concubines.Therefore, the selected candidates were asked to tell their birthplace, name, age, etc., if their voices were muddy, rough, or panicked, they would be eliminated; on the third day, the internal supervisor had another assessment standard, First, use a ruler to measure the hands and feet of the women, and then let them walk dozens of steps, and those with shorter wrists, larger toes, or less irritable behavior will be eliminated.After three days like this, there were only about a thousand people left.

Wen Po will lead them into the secret room one by one for more detailed observation and selection, such as probing their breasts, sniffing their armpits, feeling their texture, and then screening out 300 people.

These 300 people were banned from living in the palace for more than a month, which is equivalent to the current trial period.In the next month or so, Wen Po and others will select 50 concubines who are "beautiful and intelligent" according to their temperament, style, wisdom, ignorance, virtuousness, and Emperor Minghe's preferences.

And all of this didn't affect Su Mo, who was far away from the secular world.

It was a midsummer afternoon when she was very tired. Su Mo was lying on the deck chair in the yard, with her eyes closed, listening to the birdsong in the forest while the breeze was blowing.The delivery date was getting closer, and Su Mo's belly was getting bigger and bigger. She didn't dare to lie down all day, and took a walk for at least an hour every day.In this deep mountain, it is quiet, but also lonely.Every day and every night, Su Mo misses Yuan Zhen.Is his injury healed?How is the war going?Is the surname Zhuge still in this world?The baby is about to be born, and they have been separated for several months.This bone-destroying thought forced Su Mo to divert his attention and silently write all the fairy tales he remembered in his mind, so that when he concentrated on writing, he would feel much better.

As for Yue Shuying, he always leaves early and returns late, and occasionally stays in the wooden house for a whole day.They bring some fruits or small prey from the mountains every day.Su Mo never cared where Yue Shuying went or what she did.She just wanted to give birth to the child well and take the child to find Yuan Zhen.

"Moxi, what do you think I brought you back?" Yue Shuying seemed to be in a good mood today, smiling at Su Mo as soon as she entered the courtyard.He insisted on calling Su Mo Moxi, but Su Mo didn't correct him.After all, Su Moxi is also her name, so it doesn't matter what people call her if she doesn't care.

Su Mo lazily glanced at Yue Shuying at the gate of the courtyard, and didn't intend to speak.There is nothing strange about it, it is nothing more than some wild fruits in the mountains.Yue Shuying is also accustomed to Su Mo's indifference.This time he went down the mountain to buy Su Mo the mung bean cake that she had always wanted to eat, and he also found out some news.To Su Mo, this was not good news, but to him, Yue Shuying, it was a surprise from the sky.

"Moxi, this is mung bean cake. People are queuing up to buy it at the entrance of the shop. People in the town say it is the most delicious." Yue Shuying handed the wrapped mung bean cake to Su Mo. When you get close, you can smell a sweet and greasy fragrance.It smells so good!Su Mo opened the paper bag, stuffed the mung bean cake into his mouth, and closed his eyes satisfied.In the past, Su Mo didn't like to eat such sweet and greasy pastries, but for some reason, now she is so greedy when she smells such a sweet and greasy fragrance.

Seeing Su Mo eating so contentedly, Yue Shuying also smiled.When he thought of Yuan Zhen's upcoming marriage, he was overjoyed.Men always become inflated in the face of power.More than two months have passed since the establishment of the Wei Dynasty, but Yuan Zhen did not appear to be looking for Su Mo at all.Instead, he was busy marrying the princess.This news will not be let to Su Mo for the time being. She is about to give birth and cannot be stimulated.Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen, since you have given up on Moxi, don't blame me for taking advantage of it.

At night, Su Mo tossed and turned in bed.Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she had to sleep on her side.And the little guy in the stomach is not honest at all, always moving around.Occasionally, she would be kicked in the stomach, causing her to burst into tears.Today's baby seems to be extraordinarily well-behaved, staying in Su Mo's belly obediently without making noise, but Su Mo has insomnia.

Yuan Zhen, what are you doing now?Are you still looking at the sand table in the tent of the military camp and discussing tactics with the soldiers?Or is he just like her, missing the person in his heart?The war has been fought for so long, what is the result?Su Mo prayed silently in his heart, hoping for Jun's well-being.
