Donggong Zhangjiao

Fang Yoong opened the curtain and walked in. When he saw that he was awake, a light smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, please get up quickly. It's time."

"Yeah." Pei Yao nodded gently, "Why did you get up early by yourself?"

Fang Yun came over and helped him get dressed, saying softly.

"I heard that people eat dumplings when leaving to pray for their loved ones to go out safely, which means a smooth journey and all their wishes will come true. When they come back, they eat noodles to bring peace and peace of mind."

"So you woke up early to make dumplings for me?"

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, feeling warm in his heart.

The next moment, he held the person in his arms, his voice low and hoarse.

"You, tell me what to say!"

"The Emperor doesn't need to say anything, as long as he returns safely."

Fang Yun raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes filled with soft light.

Pei Yao responded in a low voice.

After washing up, he took Fang Yun with him, and they shared the bowl of dumplings.

Because he had previously ordered that the concubines in the harem did not have to see each other off, Pei Yao packed up and set off directly from Yuzhang Palace.

Next, everyone is busy with their own things.

Without the male master, the concubines in the harem have no target to fight for, but they are living in peace.

Yanbin has been complaining that she is ill, saying that the wind and cold are intermittent and she is not getting better. She probably has to wait until the weather warms up before she can recover.

But she was a foreigner, so no one cared much about her.

Compared to Lin Chan, everyone is more concerned about Yun Baolin's pregnancy and the new arrival of the new couple.

Yun Baolin should be born in April or May, which is still a while, so for those in charge, the draft is still a top priority.

Just having a simple meal on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is considered the New Year's Eve.

At the beginning of February, the beautiful girls will enter the palace for final selection, so as soon as the fifteenth day passes, Fang Yun will be very busy in the next half month.

Concubine Jin really couldn't help much, so Fang Yun and the queen usually discussed the matter.

The final preparations for half a month were over, and the day in February when the dragon raised its head was chosen to let the beautiful girl enter the palace.

According to the rules of Daqi, after entering the palace, you have to learn the rules for ten days before you can finally be selected.

This is the last step, the study of palace rules.

After all, once this palace is selected, it will be divided into palaces.

During this period of time, the Queen and Fang Yun also secretly understood the details of these beautiful girls.

In the final selection, the Queen took Fang Yun and Concubine Jin to select the candidate. Concubine Jin was the one who made up the number, and the Queen and Fang Yun made the main decision.

The two of them had a tacit understanding. Except for those who were bound to stay, the others naturally did not choose those who were domineering and provocative.

Those who are recruited into the palace are all troublemakers.

As for the high-ranking officials, the show girls below, who were waiting for the final result, were also thinking.

What they were thinking about was naturally how to increase their chances of being selected.

"Ladies, this is the Linxiu Palace where you are temporarily staying. There are 50 girls in total. There are ten rooms for three people and ten rooms for two people. The girls can choose on their own."

Grandma Wang, the steward who was leading the beautiful ladies, gave instructions to the beautiful ladies.

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful ladies present immediately started to think about it and prepared to live with people they knew well.

"Sister Qiu, how about the two of us sharing a room?"

A girl with an oval face and a pretty face walked forward and said to a slim woman.

The woman turned around and smiled softly.

"Okay, then let's go talk to grandma."

"Didn't Mammy say that our family chooses on its own with bad intentions?"

The oval-faced girl was puzzled.

The Qiu girl raised her hand and poked the girl on the forehead. "You, why did the Xu family raise you so carelessly? Just listen to what grandma said and come with me."

As he said this, the Qiu girl walked towards Grandma Wang, who was in charge.

"Hello, mama."

"Isn't this Miss Qiu? What's the matter with the girl?"

After seeing the visitor clearly, Grandma Wang seemed a little polite.

"It's not a big deal. My sister from the Xu family and I want to live together. Please help me arrange a room."

As she spoke, Miss Qiu took out a delicate purse from her arms and quietly stuffed it into it.

Grandma Wang weighed it in her hands, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Hey, this is all a trivial matter. Come on, come on. The two girls will go with the servants. There is a well-kept room on the east side. The two girls can live there."

"Thank you very much, mama."

The Qiu girl smiled cutely and bowed.

Soon, the two of them were brought to a room for two by this Aunt Wang.

The house looks good at first glance. It is clean and elegant. The most important thing is that it is spacious, bright and sunny, and everything in the house is complete.

The two of them smiled and thanked each other before entering the room and sitting down.

Their luggage will be delivered later.

"Mommy, what kind of family backgrounds do these two girls have? Why are you so polite to them?"

After coming out of the room, the little palace maid who followed Grandma Wang asked in a low voice.

Grandma Wang weighed the purse in her hand and smiled.

"These two will definitely be selected in the future. One is Qiu Shaojia, the legitimate daughter of the current Central Military Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the other is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Xu's legitimate youngest daughter, called Xu Yingyi, both of whom are the daughters of high-ranking officials. Now, can it be offended?"

Besides, they gave me the money politely.

You can get along with anything, but you can't get along with money.

When the little palace maid heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was already thinking about who she wanted to fawn over.

In the room at that time, the two girls were very happy.

"Sister, you are still smart. I saw it when I came here just now. Other people's rooms are not as good as ours!"

Xu Yingyi had a smile on her face, not to mention how happy she was.

"It's good to have mama arrange it, but don't say it outside, otherwise it will be difficult for mama to do it." Qiu Shaojia said gently.

She looks like a big sister.

Xu Yingyi sat down next to her and lowered her voice, "Sister, my mother said that you and I will definitely be selected. By then, we will still live together."

"Hush!" Qiu Shaojia hurriedly signaled her not to talk nonsense, "This is not even a word of horoscope. If others listen, it will cause trouble again."

"I'm not afraid. My sister is so beautiful, she will definitely be chosen!" Xu Yingyi raised her eyebrows.

Qiu Shaojia curled her lips and said, "You girl is always sweet-tongued, and your appearance is not inferior to mine. My sister wants to ask you, do you want to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

When she asked, Xu Yingyi's face turned crimson, she lowered her head and wring her fingers, looking as shy as a little daughter.

"Look at you, I must have thought about this." Qiu Shaojia teased.

Xu Yingyi bit her lip, "Sister, don't you want me? My parents said that the emperor has jade trees in the wind and is graceful in appearance. The emperor is also the most noble man in the world. Marrying the emperor is naturally the best marriage."

Speaking of this, Xu Yingyi raised her eyes to look at Qiu Shaojia, lowered her voice and came closer to her.

"Sister, there is an uncle in your clan who works in the Ministry of Etiquette. There are rumors that only four people will be selected for this draft. Is this true?"

When she asked about this, Qiu Shaojia just shook her head.

"Such things are all inside information. The clan uncle is not close to me, and this time his daughter, my clan sister, is also in the draft. How could he tell me?"

"Ah? Is there anyone from the Qiu family here? How does she look?" Xu Yingyi was surprised.

Qiu Shaojia narrowed her eyes and said, "She is a concubine. I heard that her biological mother is Congliang, a dancer from Jiaofangsi. Her appearance is very good, and she is above you and me." (End of Chapter)
