Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 125

"Returning to the emperor, according to records of the Biaoge in the palace of Tianque, the emperor's drafts are held every three years, and no more than [-] rookies enter the palace at a time! The upper limit is [-] at a time, and the lower limit is no less than [-]. The rest can be filled into the palace in batches to serve as palace maids and female officials.


As the first draft, the emperor can fill fifty to eighty beautiful women into the palace at one time.Therefore, Yun Qing selected [-] beautiful women for the emperor to choose from. If the emperor felt that there were not enough, there were hundreds of beautiful women in the Beixiu Hall, and Yun Qing could send someone to bring them. ".


Yun Qing lowered her head to answer, and recounted in detail the records in the palace that she had memorized these days, Xuanyuan Ze's eyes widened when she heard it, she didn't expect her to understand it in such detail.

What's even more hateful is that she actually misinterpreted what she meant, deliberately saying that she was too little...


Originally, he was just annoyed that she would blame her for causing so much trouble for him, but now it seems that he can't do anything to her.

Sweeping the girls below again, he frowned helplessly, hummed lightly, and then said: "Forget it, there are enough of these, let's start!".


"Yes! This is the roster of beautiful women, please have a look at it!" Yun Qing nodded slightly, and then respectfully handed the roster of beautiful women to Xuanyuan Ze, and ordered Xiao Taohong to have the prepared flowers and golden hairpins They were placed on two silver trays and respectfully placed in front of Xuanyuan Ze.

(Note, the drafting method inherited by Tianque: whoever is admired for flowers is the woman who is favored by the emperor. And the one who is bestowed with hairpins is a kind of comfort for the unsuccessful women. Therefore, to see if the show girl is selected, You only need to see whether the emperor rewarded her with flowers or hairpins to know!)

"Chang Le! Begin to nominate me according to the above names!" Lightly sweeping the people below, Xuanyuan Ze casually took the show list handed over by Yun Qing, looked at it lightly, and asked Chang Le to take it.


"The slave is here!" But seeing Chang Le flick the dust, took two steps forward, respectfully took the show list, then stood up straight, and said in a sharp voice: "Every show girl, please line up from left to right. , Anyone who hears the nomination, Xu Shangdian will report his name and age in three steps! Do you understand?"


"Yes!" All the beautiful women answered in unison again, and then stood nervously at His Highness, waiting breathlessly for Eunuch Chang's nomination.

"Xin Lan, Queen of the Show, please step forward!".

"Here!" With Chang Le's unique shrill voice, the first woman whose name was called couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, then hurriedly walked out of the crowd, stood dignifiedly in front of the hall, and bowed respectfully at first. , and then Yili self-reported name:

"The queen, Xinlan, is fifteen! She is the daughter of the Wang family, and she is the third in the family. She has an elder brother and a second sister, and two younger brothers! My father works in Tiancheng, and he lives in the third rank. He belongs to the inspector. ".


"Well, reward!" Xuanyuanze's handsome eyebrows were indifferent, and he didn't even look at the woman who was hanging her head and holding her breath waiting for him to call her to raise her head.

As soon as the other party received the golden hairpin, tears were already fading, but he didn't dare to look up at all, he only gave a slight blessing, thanked the emperor, and then retreated sadly.


"Beautiful girl Zhou Jinyu, please come forward!" Chang Le flicked the whisk, and the second famous beautiful girl jumped over the crowd nervously and came to the front of the saint. Fifth, the daughter of the concubine of the Zhou family is the second in the family, with an older sister, two younger sisters and a younger brother! My father works in Fulin County, and he is the magistrate of Qipinyi County!".


"Well, reward!" He still didn't look at it, Xuanyuanze had no intention of seeing the appearance of these beautiful girls at all, so he dismissed more than twenty beautiful girls in a row, which made Yun Qing secretly anxious.

Fortunately, this show book is full of insignificant and ordinary beautiful women. If this situation continues, it will definitely cause some turmoil in the government. Could it be that the emperor doesn't understand this?

"Well, reward!".

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty!" Yun Qing finally couldn't help but speak when Xuanyuan Ze wanted to reward the golden hairpin to Yao Bingqian, the handsome girl standing by His Highness, without even thinking about it.


She frowned slightly, looking at the golden hairpin in Xuanyuan Ze's hand without hesitation, she couldn't figure out what he really wanted?
This beautiful girl is the daughter of Yao Lin, Minister of Rites. If it is said that other beautiful women are dispensable, but this Yao Bingqian is the eldest daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Regardless of her status, talent and appearance, she is very outstanding. How could the emperor lose the election so easily?

"What's the queen's opinion?" With a raised eyebrow, Yun Qing seemed to see a playful flash of Xuanyuan Ze's gaze, making her almost think that she was delusional.

But after she opened her mouth to say that this talented woman from the Yao family was outstanding, she clearly saw a smile on the corner of Xuanyuan Ze's mouth, which made her understand that he had been waiting for her to speak on her own initiative.

But I can't figure it out, what is he thinking?

"Oh, the person recommended by the queen, I really want to take a good look! Yao Bingqian, raise your head!" Smiling and looking at Yun Qing, his voice with a pleasant smile almost made Yao Bingqian below jump for joy, a little flattered and shyly raised her head Come, looking forward to and nervously at the handsome man on the high seat who almost captured her heart and soul at first sight.

With just one glance, her cheeks flushed rapidly, her heart beat faster, and her whole body looked even more delicate like a spring flower, beautiful and charming.


He Ruowan's heart skipped a beat, looking at the shy and delicate woman, her palms could not help tightening, she glanced at the emperor with some resentment, but the emperor also looked straight at the woman, as if very satisfied.

"Well, the queen's eyesight is really good! Come here, enjoy the flowers!" Xuanyuan Ze looked lightly at the beautiful woman with affectionate eyes, then picked up a flower and handed it to the maid at the side.


"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yao Bingqian was overjoyed, her voice couldn't help showing excitement, she peeked at the Emperor again, and then cast a surprised look at Yun Qing.

She never expected that the queen who said she would recommend for herself and others really did not break her promise.

She never thought that the emperor could still listen to what the empress said!It seems that I need to re-examine this so-called queen who fell out of favor in the future.
