Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 121 The Emperor Did Not Come
Holding this unpolished ruby, Ya Ruo was elated and in a great mood along the way.

This thing is very precious, and it seems that it is also one of the emperor's treasures. I just took it back to honor my mother.

Ya Ruo remembered that last time my mother had a very complicated and luxurious Zhuchai that she liked very much. Because the ruby ​​in the middle was not big enough and not bright enough, she always felt that it was a bit of a fly in the ointment, and this one was just right for her.

"Baolan, send a message early tomorrow morning, I want to go back to the garden." Ya Ruo smiled and told Baolan beside her.

"But Gege...the empress dowager said that before the draft, you can't leave the palace, you have to stay with her old lady." Baolian said hastily.

After hearing this, Ya Ruo thought about it, and it seemed that her queen mother and aunt had indeed said such things before.

Well, anyway, the draft is coming soon, so she should go back later to surprise her mother.

The more Ya Ruo thinks about it, the happier she becomes, even sleeping feels sweet.

Of course, the emperor let her bear such a big blame, just asking for a ruby ​​as compensation is not enough. She will remember this account well for that kid named "Fulin". I spent my whole life in this big Qing Dynasty, and I never had a chance to win a round.

For the next few days, Ya Ruo has been accompanying the Queen Mother in the palace, and she would go for a stroll in the imperial garden almost every day, and occasionally meet the concubines in the harem, the little wives of the Emperor, seeing more, Ya Ruo also slowly I was able to get the number right, but everyone didn't have any intersection, they just nodded after meeting.

Looking at these women, Ya Ruo really felt sorry for them. After all, according to the Queen Mother, many of them have never seen the emperor. Now...the emperor is going to draft again, and it is not known how many women will be selected into the palace Well, this newcomer grows up one after another and is selected into the palace. These people in the palace are forgotten before they are favored. It is really miserable.

Because of pity for these concubines in the harem, Ya Ruo didn't look good when she saw the emperor in the past few days.

The emperor was busy with government affairs, so he didn't notice it at first, but he also discovered it in the next two days.

He also thought that Yaruo had encountered something unhappy, so he specially asked Wu Liangfu to inquire about it.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was reviewing the memorial not long after he came to court, Wu Liangfu stepped in quickly, stood beside the emperor, and said respectfully: "Report to the emperor, the servant has inquired, and Ya Ruo Gege has not encountered any unhappy things in the past few days. As for the matter, Gege has been accompanying the Empress Dowager recently, going for a walk in the imperial garden every day, occasionally meeting the concubines in the palace, they hardly speak, they are just nodding acquaintances."

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard the words. In his impression, Ya Ruo has always been a heartless, talkative and laughing person who doesn't pay much attention to the rules of the palace and lives a relatively comfortable life. Out of anger, with a look of bitterness and hatred, there can be no reason.

"Could it be... did those women in the harem say something in front of Ya Ruo?" the emperor asked with a frown.

The emperor didn't realize at all that he, who had always called Yaruo by words like "fat girl" and "little fat man", now called her by her name for the first time.

"This... probably not. Every time when Gege is with the empress dowager, he encounters concubines in the palace. Those young masters, they dare not embarrass Gege in front of the empress dowager." Wu Liangfu said hastily.

The emperor frowned even more when he heard this, then...why is that girl Yaruo so unhappy?

"Your Majesty, today is February 22. The auspicious time for the selection appointed by the Empress Dowager is coming soon. I heard that the Empress Dowager has gone to Chuxiu Palace, so I invite the Emperor to drive." Wu Liangfu couldn't understand what he meant. It's time for the emperor to pass by, otherwise it won't work if the queen mother waits for a long time.

"I have just sent Wang Quan to pass the decree, and let the kings and Baylors enter the palace to discuss state affairs. You go to Chuxiu Palace and return to the Queen Mother. Today's draft will be handled by her." The emperor said while putting down He took the cinnabar pen in his hand.

Firstly, he really has something important to discuss today, which is about the Northwest War, secondly...he really doesn't like the draft, he always feels bored watching those women walking around in front of him, so he decided not to go .

He can't delay national affairs for the sake of the draft.

This draft has already been rescheduled once, so naturally it is not appropriate to postpone it. After all, the show girls came in from the Shunzhen Gate early in the morning, so they are probably already waiting outside Chuxiu Palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although Wu Liangfu was surprised when he heard this, he immediately rushed to Chuxiu Palace in person.

When Wu Liangfu hurried to Chuxiu Palace, the Empress Dowager had just arrived and was sitting in the main hall drinking tea and resting her mind.

Ya Ruo sat beside the queen mother, pouring tea for her old man, and talking with the queen mother at the same time, the aunt and nephew had a good chat.

"Have all the show girls arrived?" The Queen Mother turned to Su Mo'er beside her.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, there are a total of 280 show girls. They are all here. Because the draft was only last year, there are not many show girls of the right age this time."

Ya Ruo listened to it and couldn't help being speechless. There are more than 280 beautiful women, so many people, in the eyes of Su Mo'er and the Queen Mother, it is not too many.

However, after thinking about it, she felt that it was quite normal, because these show girls were selected from the women of the Manchurian, Han, and Eight Banners, and it was normal that there were more of them.

The Queen Mother looked back at Su Mo'er, and said with a smile, "Go and prepare. When the Emperor comes over, the draft will start when the auspicious time comes."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Su Mo'er quickly responded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Just a moment after she left, Wu Liangfu came in.

"The servant pays homage to the empress dowager, and the empress is blessed and safe."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, logically speaking, it was already this hour, she had already arrived for a while, and the emperor should have arrived almost as well, but why was it only Wu Liangfu who came?
"Where's the emperor?" The queen mother looked at Wu Liangfu and asked in a low voice.

"I want to report to the empress dowager, the emperor has an important political matter to discuss with the kings and Baylor, so I can't come to Chuxiu Palace to see these beautiful women. The emperor said that today's draft ceremony is up to you, the empress dowager. "Wu Liangfu knew that the Queen Mother would definitely be angry, but he didn't dare to tell the truth.

After hearing this, the queen mother was depressed for a while, since the son summoned the prince and Baylor into the palace to discuss political affairs, it proves that it is indeed a major event and cannot be delayed.
