At noon, Lu Jiao had a meal in the palace, and after finishing the meal, Xiao Wenyu went to deal with the government affairs, now that he has just ascended the throne, there are many court affairs to deal with, and it is difficult to have free time.Lu Jiao was in the queen's palace, and after talking to Pei Yu for a while, she left the palace.In the evening, a holy decree was issued in the palace, the new emperor selected a concubine, and the queen and Mrs.
Zhou Guo presided over the selection of concubines.As soon as the decree was issued, the entire capital came alive.There are few women in the harem of the new emperor, and the new emperor is young and promising, and she looks like a dragon and a phoenix, and there are few women in the boudoir in Beijing who are unwilling to enter the palace.The Xie family was also very lively because of this will.This time, His Majesty's selection of concubines was presided over by the queen and Mrs.
Zhou Guo, and on the surface, the queen was the most important, but in fact, it was probably Mrs.
Zhou Guo who had the final say.She is the adoptive mother who raised His Majesty, even if the queen is afraid, she doesn't dare to embarrass Mrs.
Zhou Guo too much, so if she wins over Mrs.
Zhou Guo, she can be elected to the palace.Not long after Lu Jiao came back, someone came to the door."
Madam, Duchess Zhao Guo handed over a post to visit Madame.""
Mrs.
Qingninghou asks to see you.""
Cheng'en Houfu handed over a note to visit Madame."
Lu Jiao glanced at Steward Xiao with a stunned expression, is it the Chen family in the Chengen Houfu?"
The Chen family?"
Steward Xiao nodded, the daughter of the Chen family gave birth to His Majesty, and after His Majesty ascended the throne this time, he gave the Chen family the title of Marquis, and now their family is called Cheng'en Houfu.In fact, His Majesty was going to give the Xie family a marquis, but Xie Yunjin stopped him, the Xie family doesn't need to add icing on the cake now, if you want to give a marquis, wait for Xie Yun to return to his hometown, and then give him a knighthood.As soon as Xiao Wenyu heard this, he suspended the gift, but the Chen family still gave him the title of marquis.In addition to giving the marquis, he also let the eldest uncle of the Chen family enter the criminal department and be the chief of the four products.The Chen family can also be regarded as an upstart who squeezed into the Great Zhou because of His Majesty.When Lu Jiao heard that the Chen family was visiting, she naturally didn't want to see it."
You let people go back to Chen's house, and I welcome them to visit."
Mr.
Chen is Xie Yunjin's husband and His Majesty's maternal grandfather, the two of them should stand on the same front, no matter what happens inside, they must not let people see jokes on the surface."
Yes."
Steward Xiao answered, and then asked other people.Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows strangely: "What are you doing when the Duke of Zhao Mansion wants to visit me?"
”Steward Xiao glanced at Lu Jiao, and seeing that she didn't know why, he quickly reported: "Madam, just before, the palace made a decree, Your Majesty wants to choose a concubine, and the queen and Madame will preside over the selection of concubines together. ”Lu Jiao listened to Steward Xiao's words and suddenly understood that this was trying to go her way.Lu Jiao was speechless when she understood it, and looked at Steward Xiao and replied: "If someone comes to visit for this matter, you will say that you have no time to be idle at the moment, and when you are free, you will visit their families." ”"Yes.Madam. ”Now Lu Jiao doesn't need to be as aggrieved as before, not to mention that Xie Yunjin is the second assistant of the Great Zhou cabinet, just to say that she herself has also been given the title of Mrs.
Chao Yipin, that is, a first-class member, and she has to be polite when she sees her, so she doesn't need to wronged herself for those people.Steward Xiao listened to Lu Jiao's words and went out to reply.When the Zhao family and the Wu family heard the reply, they were a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to show it.The Chen family was quite happy when they heard Steward Xiao's words.Lu Jiao originally thought that the Chen family would come over tomorrow, but she didn't expect their family to come over that night.It was Mrs.
Chen and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family who came."
I've seen Mrs.
Zhou Guo."
Although the old lady is Mrs.
Chengenhou at the moment, Lu Jiao is His Majesty's adoptive mother, and it is an indisputable fact that His Majesty is close to her.So this time His Majesty chose a concubine, and the Chen family wanted to send a daughter to the palace, so that they could win over the relationship between their family and His Majesty.Lu Jiao got up and helped Mrs.
Chen up: "Master, don't be polite, in private, we won't talk about those vulgar etiquette." ”After a few people sat down, Mrs.
Chen looked at Lu Jiao, she didn't know how to speak for a while, and Lu Jiao didn't beat around the bush with her, and asked directly: "My wife came today to choose a concubine for His Majesty?"
”Mrs.
Chen looked at Mrs.
Chen, Mrs.
Chen immediately got up and said with a smile: "I am ashamed to say this, it is all my daughter's trouble, since I have seen Your Majesty, this kind of seed has been talking about Your Majesty, and it coincided with Your Majesty's choice of concubine, she wanted to enter the palace to accompany Your Majesty, so our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cheeky to ask Mrs. for help." ”Lu Jiao listened to Mrs.
Chen's words, and the corners of her lips hooked up a playful smile.Mrs.
Chen looked at her eyes, a little weak-hearted, this person can cultivate His Majesty, which means that she is extremely smart, she will not see through the Chen family's intentions.The Chen family sent their daughter to the palace in order to win over the relationship between His Majesty and the Chen family, and it would be best if the relationship between His Majesty and the Xie family was separated.Their Chen family is His Majesty's serious foreign family, what is the Xie family.Of course, the Chen family's careful thinking in private, Mrs.
Chen will not show it.But if she doesn't show it, Lu Jiao can guess it.She looked at Old Madam Chen and Mrs.
Chen, and said lightly: "Your Majesty's selection of concubines this time is to stabilize the court, and it is not surprising that the concubines selected this time are all the daughters of important members of the court. ”Lu Jiao almost told Mrs.
Chen and Mrs.
Chen nakedly that your family is not qualified to be selected.Old Madam Chen and Mrs.
Chen's faces suddenly became delicate, and it took a long time before they spoke: "Madame, can't you be accommodating?"
”Lu Jiao smiled: "This is Your Majesty's business, I can't be his master, and I won't be his master, but I will report the meaning of the Chen family to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty intends to let the daughter of the Chen family enter the palace, I will make an order." ”When Mrs.
Chen and Mrs.
Chen heard this, they didn't know what to say for a while, and they always felt that something was wrong with what they had done.But seeing that it was getting late, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up: "Then there is Mrs.
Lao." ”"It's okay, do you want to stay and finish dinner before leaving."
Old Madam Chen immediately shook her head: "No need, let's go back." ”Lu Jiao sent them out, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law repeatedly asked her to stay, so she instructed Steward Xiao to send Mrs.
Chen and Mrs.
Chen out.As soon as the two of them got into the Chen family's carriage and left, Xie Yunjin came back, he got down from the carriage, just in time to see the Chen family's carriage leaving, Xie Yunjin asked the housekeeper Xiao who greeted him in front of the door: "Is that the Chen family?"

”"Yes, my lord, the old lady of the Chen family and the eldest lady of the Chen family came to visit the lady."
When Xie Yunjin heard this, he frowned, he thought of His Majesty's concubine, the Chen family would not want to send their daughter to the palace, then they were thinking too much.
