Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 315 Slander all over the world (2)
"Okay, Chonghua, let's do it this way, I hope that there will be more people in the harem, but there must be no more people like Concubine Jin, otherwise, both Bengong and Bao Si will die without a place to die. "Jiang chanted softly.

The Hall of Shuilong Shuren, the ministers of the DPRK and China jointly signed a memorial, and asked Ming Gong to follow the ancestral precepts and carry out a big selection of beautiful women, and once again selected virtuous and graceful women to enrich the harem. Ming Gong read the memorial carefully and couldn't help smiling. Kai and Shang doctor Cheng Rong said: "It's really strange. There are not many concubines in the harem of the widow. It is the widow's own business. Why are some courtiers generous? You took the initiative to persuade the widow to choose a concubine. Cheng Rong, what do you think? ?”

Cheng Rong hurriedly held up the imperial wat and said: "According to my observation, more than [-]% of the courtiers invited the king to choose a concubine. In fact, they wanted to curry favor with the royal family. I was worried that once a lady was selected into the harem, various forces outside the palace would soon be in the harem." , broad branches and scattered leaves, Imperial Concubine Jin and Wang Zhi are the lessons learned from the past, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Well, Cheng Rong, what you said is indeed reasonable. First, I am busy with government affairs and have no time to deal with the affairs of the harem, so it is not appropriate to increase the number of concubines. Second, if there are too many concubines, it will consume the expenses of the harem. It is really superfluous and not desirable at all. "Ming Gong frowned.

"My lord, I believe that the selection of beautiful women is the ancestral system of the previous dynasty. The king is now in his prime, and there are only two biological princes, King Lu and Song, by his side. , Your Majesty can select beautiful girls, but there should not be too many people, only two or three are enough, I don't know what the holy will is." Prime Minister Lu Kai said flatteringly.

"Lu Aiqing's words are very kind. In my opinion, it's the best. The specific selection matters will be handled by the senior doctor Cheng Rong and Prime Minister Lu Kai." Ming Gong smiled happily.

In the winter of this year, as soon as I heard that the imperial court was electing a beautiful girl, all the high-ranking officials from all over the country, all the high-ranking officials and nobles who were within the waiting conditions, all sent their daughters to Lizheng in Chaoyang Palace in an oilcloth mule cart. Line up in front of the gate to save their lives. For a while, there was a lot of traffic outside the palace.

"It's unreasonable. I'm really mad. Didn't the king say that he and the young master will never be in love with each other forever? He just listened to someone's advice and drafted the best girls in the palace. For no reason, there are a few more young people in the palace." Beautiful young master, I don't know how many bad things I can't even think about." On the dressing table of Jian Jia Palace, Axi, who was aggrieved, put her hair in a bun while muttering angrily.

"Ah Xi, you can't blame the king for this. After all, it is a rule passed down from the ancestors. If the king doesn't follow it, the officials will object. Besides, if the palace can't accommodate a few more sisters in the palace, then it will be too late. You can't get away with the name of jealousy." Bao Si looked back into A Xi's eyes, and then tapped A Xi's mouth with her fingers.

"The little master is kind, but the servant is worried that some people in the palace are not so upright. If there are a few more young masters, fishing in troubled waters, won't they be able to divide the favor of the young master? The servant sees that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. " Axi said sullenly.

"Sister Axi, do you mean Concubine Jiang of Qiu Yunxuan?" Mingyue, standing beside Axi, suddenly interjected.

"Mingyue, stop talking nonsense." As soon as Mingyue finished speaking, Bao Si hurriedly stopped Mingyue's complaints.

"Yes, little master, Mingyue won't dare next time." Mingyue lowered her head aggrievedly.

"Hey, there are beautiful women entering the palace again. I really don't know how many there will be. The flower buds that bloom, miss the flowering season, and wither in this place where the sun doesn't shine. Why do you treat women so cruelly? ?" Bao Si couldn't help but feel sad.

The contest for beautiful women was held in the main hall of Chaoyang Palace. On the next day, about a dozen young women with gorgeous hair and buns, according to the arrangement of the eunuchs, stepped into the hall gracefully one by one to accept the emperor. and the selection of the Queen.
