Chapter 122 Virtuous (1)
The emperor said today that he was too busy with things, so he handed over the drafting to the queen.

So in the Chongguang Hall, headed by the queen, noble concubines and concubines sat on the left, and concubines De sat on the right, all dressed in beautiful clothes.Those who are chosen at the moment and those who are chosen are quite a bit of a complementarity in it.

After Xie Mo sat down, he unfolded the brochure and read it, frowning slightly.Nodding to Zheng Da who was at the side, the latter came over, "What do you want, Madam?"

"I remember that the harem was set by the founding Empress Fang as a rule: beautiful girls are chosen, and sisters who are the head of the inner court are exempt from selection."

"Yes, there is such a rule."

Among the first row of ladies kneeling down, one quietly raised her head upon hearing the words, and it was Concubine Shu's cousin who came to live in the palace for a while.

Xie Mo immediately said: "Since the ancestral system is like this, then the palace is naturally acting in accordance with the ancestral system. I will send Wang's Pingting out of the palace and reward two pieces of colorful satin. Those who are negligent in their duties will be fined for one month."

When Zheng Da heard it, he was included in the count.But it's rare that the Queen even knew about Queen Fang's ban back then.The emperor only gave the list, but how to dethrone it is the empress' business.

In fact, this ancestral system has long been broken. There were two sisters who were first-born in the imperial palace.But for the sake of His Holiness, no one will mention it at this time.What's more, when Concubine Yun entered the palace, it was the time when the empress dowager offended the first emperor and was demoted. At that time, she was not the lord of the first palace, but she was restored to the position of noble concubine later.If she hadn't lost her position as a concubine at that time, the Yun family would not be in a hurry to send another daughter into the palace.

Xie Mo was a little bit embarrassed when he knew about this secret affair in the palace that day, even Concubine Yun Gui had such a time.It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger.

She wanted to stop another daughter of the Wang family from entering the palace, because she didn't want the three-legged relationship to be broken.It is enough for the Wang family to have one concubine Shu, Xie Mo must at least ensure that one of the four concubines is a virtuous concubine facing him, and one concubine Shu remains neutral.If Wang Pingting enters the palace, it will definitely break the current balance.The list given by Xiao Hao only said which five people had to be selected, and there was another person who she asked her to try to get rid of.Therefore, she still has a certain degree of autonomy.

This can also be regarded as a blow to the horse, although this ancestral system has been broken several times over the years, but the queen used this as an excuse, and others have nothing to say.Whether they are punished or deposed, they can only accept it obediently.And the third concubine next to her could only see the queen's growing power in the harem.

After Wang Pingting kowtowed to thank her, she was led out. Xie Mo nodded, "Let's get started."

It proceeds slowly, without much suspense.Everything is based on Xie Mo's will, and the third concubine interrupts occasionally, so she will make a decision at her discretion.Seeing that apart from the few internal candidates left by her decision, the three left by the third concubine are all quite lucky.It sounds good to say that a woman with such a face, Yi Nan, is for the sake of the emperor's heir.But with such a face, it is actually very difficult to stand out in the harem where all the beauties gather.Unless the emperor's heir is really difficult.Everyone would benefit from choosing this way, so they agreed to keep him.

Xie Mo felt a little amused, and also felt that being a woman was really pathetic, and that she couldn't control her own destiny.She looked a little tired, and Zheng Da asked if he wanted to stop here today.

Xie Mo shook his head, "Those beautiful girls got up early in the morning and waited outside, it's so pitiful. It's better to finish it today, so as not to torment them tomorrow. But, rest for a while, and continue after a quarter of an hour."

"Yes."

After a quarter of an hour, the etiquette eunuch opened the pamphlet and sang in a sharp and slender voice: "Chen Qiao, the daughter of Chen Yafu, the left minister of the dynasty, came out to see her. She is fifteen years old and good at singing, dancing and musical instruments."

As soon as the name was mentioned, the four people in the seat were all very concerned.I'm afraid that everyone thinks that Chen Xiangzhi's daughter's name is guaranteed, Xie Mo thought, what reason does she have to depose her with such a family background.This Chen Qiao is the one Xiao Hao told her to depose.

Hearing the words, Chen Qiao lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and stepped forward, dressed in concubine-colored palace attire, with soft touches of pearls, flowers and emeralds as she moved, "Chen Qiao, my servant, see the empress, and kowtow to all the empresses."

For Chen Qiao who had no intention of entering the palace, Xie Mo naturally looked at her differently.Feeling faintly envious, it's really a good thing to be able to break free from this quagmire-like harem.

"Head up!"

"Yes."

Chen Qiao raised her head upon hearing the sound, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, but she was a little timid.Xie Mo became more and more embarrassed, she really couldn't find a reason.Today's palace meeting was arranged by Xie Mo by asking the show girls to draw lots by themselves, and the four that Chen Qiao was in were already in the seventh group.

So I decided to watch her dance performance first.While looking, he lowered his head to look at the people in this group, there was a daughter of Shang Shu who was appointed to keep, but Chen Qiao couldn't compete with her family background.Looking at the place where the other three were standing, he asked Xiao Chuzi next to him, "Which one is the daughter of Hubu Jiang Shangshu?"

According to Xiao Chuzi's instructions, Xie Mo looked over, but he also looked like a fish and a wild goose, and he looked generous.But, would Chen Xiangqian really be timid on such an occasion?And just based on this, it can't be used as a reason to depose her.It doesn't matter to others, but Chen Yafu is extremely hot right now, if he uses this reason to depose his daughter, what will outsiders think.She didn't have to be a perfect person to lose the election, and it was said later that it was because she was jealous of the virtuous and capable.

Xiao Chuzi sent a gossip, "I heard that she was born under the moon, and has some symptoms of insufficiency. She was raised in a boudoir since she was a child, and no one knew about it."

"Oh."

Before Chen Qiao finished dancing, she suddenly stepped on a wrong note, but her eagerness to make up for it made her dance steps even more chaotic.

"The Emperor is here—"

Xie Mo got up and took a time-out, ready to stand up with everyone to meet them, but Chen Qiao stepped on her belt and fell down.Then, Xiao Hao walked in.Seeing this scene, he frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Xie Mo said: "Hurry up and help Chen Xiangqian up."

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor was enshrined and sat in the main seat, with the concubines accompanying him one by one.

Chen Qiao sprained her ankle, Concubine Xian sent someone to call the imperial doctor to see if she had any injuries, and now she is next door.The other three went out to have an audience in turn.

"Jiang Sese, the daughter of Jiang Shang, Minister of the Household Department, went out to see her. She is fifteen years old and is good at playing the piano and painting."

Xiao Hao said: "Well, let's play a song "Danfeng Chaoyang" and listen to it."

The sound of the next qin sounded, and it really was some attainments.

"You asked me to come here and be a villain?" Xiao Mo said softly.

Xie Mo gave a vague 'hmm'.She seized the time to invite the person, and asked the emperor to come out to take a look around while she said it was the copybook, and take a look at the draft by the way, and also explained that she must invite the person.Xiao Hao happened to come over to see what tricks he was up to when he finished approving the papers.Therefore, the talent will come so suitable.
