Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 262
As the new emperor ascended the throne, it was inevitable that he would have to choose another concubine. As the empress dowager, Huo Mingzhu was Baili Jingqi's mother and the head of the harem. Huo Mingzhu would handle the selection of concubines.

Baili Jingqi's selection of concubines this time is different from the selection of concubines by princes in the past. Although Baili Jingqi is still stupid, he is already the emperor, and he holds the life and death of the world in his hands. Therefore, even if he is stupid, he wants to Of course, there are still many people who enter the palace as concubines.

Among them, there is the Situ family who escaped from the robbery at the hands of Baili Zonglu.

The Situ family was doomed at first, but Huo Mingzhu destroyed Baili Zonglu's scheme, leaving Baili Zonglu no time to care about the Situ family who had been cornered. Therefore, the Situ family could be regarded as thanks to Huo Mingzhu's blessing and was not forced. Baili Zonglu was eliminated.

When the new emperor came to the throne, and learned that the queen mother Huo Mingzhu was going to choose a concubine for Baili Jingqi, Situ Yueer felt that this was an opportunity. If she could enter the palace and become a concubine, and if she could become a queen in the future, it would be even more glorious Regarding the lintel matter, the Situ family might be able to rise up. After Baili Zonglu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, Situ Yueer's love for Baili Zonglu finally turned into resentment.

On this day, Situ Yueer was among the remaining dozens of girls waiting for the draft. Huo Mingzhu and Baili Jingqi had seen those girls one by one. When Situ Yueer came in, Huo Mingzhu recognized them at a glance. Situ Yueer.

Fang Tieyi is very powerful, let him check the matter between Situ's family and Baili Zonglu, and of course he knows Situ Yueer's intention of standing here at the moment, maybe he wants to use the new emperor to come Take revenge on Baili Zonglu.

Huo Mingzhu loved to see this happen, and said to Baili Jingqi: "Xuanzhi, do you like it?" Ever since Baili Jingqi ascended the throne, Huo Mingzhu didn't like to call Baili Jingqi the emperor. This reminded her of the first emperor, so the place under the court hall was called Baili Jingqi.

Baili Jingqi was looking at the beautiful women in front of him. He was not interested in it at first, but Huo Mingzhu wanted him to accept a few concubines, so he took a look to find out which one was pleasing to the eye, and accepted it. That is, just watching, I heard Huo Mingzhu's question.

Baili Jingqi said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it will be pretty good."

Huo Mingzhu nodded in satisfaction: "If the emperor thinks it's not bad, then Aijia will choose for the emperor."

"It's up to the Queen Mother to decide." Baili Jingqi had no objection.

The little eunuch in front of Huo Mingzhu, Xiao Fuzi, stepped forward, raised his hand for Huo Mingzhu to support, and together with Huo Mingzhu, walked towards the group of beautiful girls.

After reading them one by one, she finally stopped in front of Situ Yue'er and said to the nanny beside her, "Remember this." Then she walked up to the beautiful girl next to her and said, "Keep this too."

Baili Jingqi let Huo Mingzhu help him choose ten beautiful girls, while Situ Yueer and another beautiful girl named Lanxiu were made concubines directly, two of them were concubines, and the rest were nobles. Li Jingqi always let Huo Mingzhu make the decision, and after finally conferring a concubine and a residence, Baili Jingqi returned to his Jingren Palace.

This is only a responsibility that Huo Mingzhu must perform for the emperor to accept concubines, but she has no intention of caring whether Baili Jingqi favors them or not. At this moment, she is full of thoughts on how to get rid of Baili's sect law.

The hatred of the previous life, now only Baili Zonglu is the culprit, and even Huo Huaiyu has been cut into a human pig by her. If he doesn't treat Baili Zonglu well, how can he be worthy of him.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu began to let the people arranged in the dark start to collect the net.

Fang Tieyi is very good, the people he recruited are very capable, and he has raised a group of quite capable hidden guards. The first thing Huo Mingzhu asked these hidden guards to do was to kill people.

The people who were killed were all ministers or important ministers in the court.

Although these founding elders did not say anything against the new emperor, their actions made Huo Mingzhu extremely hateful, and they also had the same identity, the Nine Kings Party.

However, before ordering the killing, Huo Mingzhu wanted to have a good year easily.

It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and this year's snow is particularly joyful. Every morning, after Huo Mingzhu gets up, she can see the maids and eunuchs struggling to clean up the piled up snow. give up.

"Sulu, how many days will it be before New Year's Eve?" Huo Mingzhu asked Sulu who was standing beside him as he was sitting on a deck chair warming up by the fire after breakfast.

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, there are still five days until New Year's Eve." Su Yu replied.

"How fast." Huo Mingzhu sighed, this day flies so fast, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, thinking about so many things that happened in this year, all of them are unlucky things, Huo Mingzhu suddenly wants to hold a wedding in advance.

"Not so fast, I think we just came back from the border town, but now it feels like it's been a long time." During this period of time, Su Huan followed Huo Mingzhu, experienced the killing, she was no longer so naive, and there was a little more calmness on her face, In Huo Mingzhu's eyes, she was also somewhat reluctant.

Originally, she planned to protect this innocent little girl and let her live a happy life, but in the end she still wiped out her innocence and purity.

Looking at Suhui's face, Huo Mingzhu suddenly wanted to make up for something.

"Where is General Fang at the moment?" After Huo Mingzhu became the empress dowager, he rewarded Fang Tieyi, gave him the status of a general, and made him responsible for the safety of the Compassionate Palace.

"It's in front of the palace gate." Every day, Fang Tieyi led his guards to patrol around the palace before returning to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Huo Mingzhu felt it was funny when she heard that Sulu knew Fang Tieyi's whereabouts so well, this girl really took Fang Tieyi's matter to heart, she just asked afterward, and Sulu could tell Fang Tieyi exact whereabouts.

Perhaps because she found Huo Mingzhu smiling very strangely, Su Ling asked belatedly: "Empress Dowager, what are you doing looking at this servant so strangely?"

Looking at Su Lv who opened her eyes wide and looked at her, Huo Mingzhu was still very happy, this girl's innocence was not completely wiped out, look, she was hooked.

"Now that Sulu is past the age of marriage, it's all because Aijia didn't find out early." Huo Mingzhu sighed deliberately.

Sulu finally knew Huo Mingzhu's intentions, she blushed a lot, and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, why are you so serious, who, who is going to marry."

"It's our Aunt Su, is it possible? Let everyone know that Aijia's aunt has passed the age of marriage, and Aijia doesn't help Zhang Luo, so what will others think of Aijia?" Huo Mingzhu Pretending to be serious.

Sulu has no other options, but she doesn't want to marry someone else, she, she has someone she wants to marry, but this can't be said, otherwise, it's petty to be called shameless, if that person finds out, If you look at her like you want to eat swan meat, she won't be able to bear it.

Su Hui would not have had this idea in the first place, it was all because Fang Tieyi made Huo Mingzhu think so highly of him, plus his ability made Su Hui see clearly, plus he suddenly understood her own thoughts, the so-called beauties in the eyes of lovers After leaving Xi Shi, that Fang Tieyi became a great hero in Su Hui's heart with the passage of time. To put it in Su Hui's heart, he is a great hero who is even more powerful than the Nine Princes.

Let me ask, such a great hero, how could Sulu feel that she was worthy of others.

If someone had told Suhui earlier that you would like Shangfang Tieyi and thought he was a great hero, Suhui would have burst out laughing.

"Empress Dowager, slaves and maidservants will not marry." Su Yu became anxious, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Huo Mingzhu looked at the nervous Sulu, and felt that this girl was still so reckless, so she refused in a hurry without asking who she wanted to ration her.

Sulu didn't give Huo Mingzhu a chance to continue talking, and hurriedly continued: "The empress dowager, the servant followed you all the way from the border town to the Huo family, then to the empress dowager's womb, and finally to the palace, without ever leaving the empress dowager. The servant is married, and the servant is not willing to let the servant leave the side of the empress dowager."

Huo Mingzhu was very moved. Su Yu was always loyal to her foolishly and had nothing to ask for. Therefore, Huo Mingzhu became more determined to let Su Yu get the happiness she wanted.

"What if you still serve Aijiade after you get married?" Huo Mingzhu looked at Sulu with a smile.

Now, Su Hui didn't know how to refuse, in the end, she just gritted her teeth, knelt in front of Huo Mingzhu and said, "Empress Dowager, this servant really doesn't want to marry."

At this moment, Su Hui already felt that Huo Mingzhu felt that she was in the way when she was around. She knew so much about Huo Mingzhu, so Huo Mingzhu wanted to send her away.

But she didn't want to, if she was really afraid of her, how could Huo Mingzhu allow her to marry, wouldn't it be the best to imprison her by her side, if Huo Mingzhu heard Su Su's heartfelt voice, she might be stunned.

Huo Mingzhu laughed straight away: "Don't think so, as a woman, you have to get married, and now, Ai's family betrothed you to General Fang because you two get along well on weekdays. Come on, if it's someone else, the Ai family really doesn't want to bother."

As soon as Su Lv heard Huo Mingzhu's words, she raised her head and looked at Huo Mingzhu in disbelief. Finally, she finally found her own voice and asked, "Queen Mother, are you going to betroth your servant to General Fang? Fang Tieyi ?”

"Don't you like him?" Huo Mingzhu asked intentionally.

Su Hui suddenly blushed, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Huo Mingzhu again, at the same time, she was also surrounded by this great joy.

The person the Empress Dowager wanted to betroth her to was actually Fang Tieyi.

"So, you don't want to marry General Fang?" Huo Mingzhu teased Suhui suspiciously.

"No, I, oh no, slave... Hey, in short, it's all up to the Queen Mother to decide."

When Huo Mingzhu heard this, she burst out laughing. Seeing Sulu like this, Huo Mingzhu still felt that Sulu was not inconvenient at all, she was still the innocent and cute Sulu.

At the moment, he said: "It is said that General Fang Tieyi has served Ai's family for many days, and because the new emperor was enthroned, he made great contributions in protecting Ai's family, so he specially matched Sulu, the aunt who is in charge of Ai's family, with him. Good fate, able to grow old together, full of children and grandchildren."

In the end, Su Yu's whole body turned red, and Huo Mingzhu, who was shy and looked at her, also became happy, thinking that it would be good to take advantage of the New Year to arrange this happy event, and to settle a concern in her heart.

This decree was quickly delivered to Fang Tieyi. After hearing the decree, Fang Tieyi's dark face flushed red.He secretly thought that it is not enough for the empress dowager to give the emperor a concubine, but she also has to act as a matchmaker to match him with his wife.

Thinking of Sulu's appearance, Fang Tieyi directly accepted the will.

But at this time, in Jingren Palace, Baili Jingqi looked at Situ Yue'er indifferently. She brought him ginseng soup, but he only felt disgusted, not liked.
