Xie Yunjin thought of this possibility, and directly sneered unceremoniously.The Chen family was summoned to Beijing by His Majesty after His Majesty recognized the Emperor, and their family has been in Beijing for two years.It's whimsical.Xie Yunjin went all the way back to the backyard, saw Lu Jiao and asked, "I saw the Chen family's carriage leaving just now, what did they come here for?"
”Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yun with a smile and said, "Their family wants to send their daughter to the palace." ”Xie Yunjin frowned: "Their family is becoming more and more dissatisfied, and they want to send people to His Majesty's harem, they really think about it." ”His Majesty first ascended the throne, if it weren't for the sake of stabilizing the court, he would not have accepted a concubine in such a short period of time.What's going on with the Chen family?
A belly full of flowers."
Okay, don't pay attention to their family, Your Majesty will not let the daughter of the Chen family enter the palace, their daughter has only been in Beijing for two years, and it is not suitable to enter the palace."
Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yun with a smile and said, "This matter is still up to Your Majesty." ”"Okay, when you go back to the palace, tell him about it."
Lu Jiao got up and went over to take off his official robe for Xie Yunjin, and then asked Xie Yunjin: "Not only the Chen family, but also the Zhao Guogong Mansion sent a worship sticker before, and their family seems to want to send a daughter to the palace." ”Xie Yunjin's eyes darkened, and he said: "Not surprisingly, Your Majesty wants to admit the daughter of the Zhao family into the palace, in addition to the Zhao family, the daughter of the Duke of Wuguo, and the daughters of several powerful people in the court, will be included in the palace by Your Majesty." ”Lu Jiao nodded and said that she understood, accepting the daughters of these powerful people and stabilizing the court for the time being, His Majesty would definitely take action to suppress the powerful in the future, so that they would not dare to be unscrupulous and do whatever they wanted."
I know."
The capital, because of His Majesty's concubine, suddenly became lively, and this is the most lively thing in the streets and alleys.The ready-to-wear shop, the jewelry shop, the rouge and gouache shop, are even more prosperous because of this Bonafei matter.The Xie family is also a good city, and people often come to visit, first Lu Jiao can also entertain one or two, and then he was annoyed by this matter, and directly took people to hide in Zhuangzi.Nie Yuyao, Tian Huan and Zhu Baozhu also took the opportunity to sneak to Zhuangzi with their subordinates to hide from their families.Because they are good friends with Lu Jiao, they have been visiting every day recently, so they asked them to talk about love in front of Lu Jiao.Not to mention Nie Yuyao and Tian Huan and others, even Xie Linglong in the dragon and phoenix fetus did not hide from it, in the Zhengde Women's Hospital, how many senior sisters ran over to ask her for help.Xie Linglong didn't even dare to go to the academy with a headache, looking forward to the matter of the fourth brother and concubine to hurry over.In the Green Cloud Villa, several women hid in the shade of trees, drinking tea and chatting, and the small days were extraordinarily comfortable."
It's better to be here."
Lu Jiao sighed.Nie Yuyao nodded and said: "Indeed, in the past, the nobles in Beijing were not so eager to enter the palace, but this time they are like crazy, and every household is rushing to enter the palace. ”"Young and beautiful, still the emperor, there are still few women in the key harem, there are only queens and concubines in the palace, no wonder those women are crazy to enter the palace."
On the side, Tian Huan nodded: "It's still the little four treasures who are attractive, but this woman has a lot of right and wrong, and in the future, the palace is afraid that it will not be peaceful, can he handle the four treasures?"
”Lu Jiao sighed and said, "He can't help it." ”Wait for the four treasures to be blessed with the world, do more things that are beneficial to the people of the Great Zhou, and wait for the people to believe that he is the promising monarch of the Great Zhou, and at that time, even if the authority of the family is gracious, it will not shake his foundation, and at that time, he will take action to clean up the family.Lu Jiao thought about it and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this bad thing." ”"Yes, yes, come for tea, drink tea."
Several women stayed in Zhuangzi for three days before going back, but this was because the day of His Majesty's concubine selection had arrived, and Lu Jiao had to return to Beijing.The next day, His Majesty chose a concubine, and Lu Jiao brought someone into the palace early.In Kunning Palace, in addition to the queen, Concubine Shu is also there.Concubine Wang Mengyao was extremely happy when she saw Lu Jiao: "Aunt Lu, you are here." ”Lu Jiao nodded, looked at Wang Mengyao, mainly to see if Wang Mengyao would be annoyed by His Majesty's choice of concubine, but looking at it, she didn't see that this girl was angry, Lu Jiao let go of her heart, to be honest, if you marry the emperor, you can't think that the emperor will marry only one.The queen and Wang Mengyao's mentality is actually quite good."
Are you still used to it in the palace?"
Lu Jiao asked Wang Mengyao with concern.Wang Mengyao said with a smile: "It's good, except that it's not as free as before, everything else is okay." ”After entering the palace, it is not very convenient to enter and exit, but His Majesty has assigned a person to call her, and she can arrange for that person to do many things, but she cannot enter and leave the palace as freely as before.But she is also in a good mood, and now that she has become a concubine, she can only accept her fate.His Majesty has been tolerant enough of her, and if she is no longer satisfied, it will be too much.People must first be content in the world, and insatiable greed will be annoying.Lu Jiao listened to Wang Mengyao's words, and said with a smile: "You are the queen concubine in the palace, how can you be as comfortable as before, but I see that you have a good complexion, which means that you are okay in the palace." ”Wang Mengyao smiled proudly: "That is, I am like that weed, I can live well anywhere." ”On one side, the queen saw that Lu Jiao and Concubine Shu were talking happily, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.Lu Jiao and Wang Mengyao said a few words, then turned around and talked to the queen."
Has the selection of concubines begun?"
The initial stage of choosing a concubine is selected by the Shanggong Bureau's Shangshu, whether there is a disease on the body, etc., and when the front is selected, the queen and Lu Jiao and other candidates are needed later, and then the candidates they draw up are handed over to the emperor for the imperial review, and the emperor selects the candidates from them.In fact, the process of selecting concubines in this way is simple enough, and the daughters of the top three officials are selected in this election, and the number is not large, so it will not take so long.Lu Jiao stayed in Kunning Palace for a while, and found that Queen Pei Yu had been yawning and seemed to be very sleepy, Lu Jiao asked Pei Yu with concern: "Didn't the queen sleep well last night?"
If you don't sleep well, go to sleep. ”Pei Yu said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on these days, I'm always prone to sleepiness, but I actually slept quite well last night." ”Although she has to take a concubine for Her Majesty today, as the queen, Pei Yu has long recognized the facts, and it is impossible for her to be the only one in His Majesty's harem, so she slept well last night, but today she is still a little sleepy.Lu Jiao listened to Pei Yu's words, and immediately thought of something, looked at her with a smile and said, "Come here, I'll check your pulse." ”Pei Yu looked puzzled: "I'm not sick, the imperial doctor asks me for a pulse every day." ”Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, it's better to take the pulse for you." ”"Okay."
