After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Ying Ze flipped through a bunch of portraits impatiently in his hands. He felt that he had never been so upset by reviewing memorials. He couldn't help throwing all the portraits out of his hand, and irritatedly looked at Zheng Baisheng who was waiting on the side. road:

"I don't want to think that there are a group of women quarreling and vying for favor in the palace every day, so why don't we choose the talent show?"

Zheng Baisheng patiently picked up all the scrolls one by one, and sent them to Ying Ze's case, admonishing him:

"Your Majesty, you know that this matter is related to the great cause of the royal family's heirs. The courtiers have repeatedly complained. Even if you don't like it, I'm afraid you still have to choose."

Ying Ze rubbed his forehead and felt a terrible headache, and even missed the time when Empress Dowager Xiao was around.

At that time, although Empress Dowager Xiao urged herself to recruit people all day long, she basically only held some flower viewing parties full of Yingying and Yanyan, and then tried her best to get those women to play the piano and dance.

It's all right now, Empress Dowager Xiao has gone to "clean up the Buddhist hall", he thought he could be quiet, but the officials found that no one urged the emperor to accept the harem, and all of them rolled up their sleeves and became excited.

At this moment, the little eunuch outside came in to spread the word that the Prince Regent had come. Ying Ze's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said:

"Please come in, the Regent."

When Fei Wusu came in and was about to bow down to salute, Ying Ze waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to salute, and stuffed a bunch of scrolls into Fei Wusu's hands:

"You are here, think about it for Gu, but what else can I do, can I not have to be drafted?"

Fei Wusu looked down at the picture scroll in his hand, and roughly flipped through it. Sure enough, the picture scrolls handed over by the ministers to the internal officials were almost all beautified, and there were all kinds of beauties.

After taking a look at it, he put away all the scrolls and handed them to Zheng Baisheng who was beside him for safekeeping. Then he said very honestly:

"Your Majesty doesn't have any girls he likes to fill the harem, so all the officials are naturally anxious. If your majesty really doesn't want to draft, you can directly select a few to enter the palace. If there are concubines in the harem who will continue to be the heirs of the royal family, the officials are naturally not in a hurry."

Ying Ze felt even more headache when he heard the words:

"Gu just didn't want to accept a concubine, so I asked you to find a way. You asked Gu to directly select a few people to enter the palace. How is this different from holding a draft?"

Fei Wusu said:

"There is no need to hold an audition, so there is no need to go through a lot of trouble, saving money and..."

Ying Ze couldn't take it anymore, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Fei! Duck! Su!"

Fei Wusu responded immediately:

"The minister is here."

Ying Ze stared at him for a while, but in the end he was still not willing to say a serious word, and he pointed at the door of the hall angrily and said:

"Get out of here alone!"

Fei Wusu also had a headache, so he got up and walked out without hesitation. Ying Ze became even more angry, stood up and walked around the hall with his hips akimbo, muttering and scolding Fei Wusu for a while. After a while, he scolded the courtiers who forced him to draft, and he seemed very angry.

Zheng Baisheng couldn't stand it anymore, put the scroll in his hand on the table, poured a cup of tea for Ying Ze, passed it to Ying Ze, and persuaded:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, what His Majesty the Regent said has some truths. If His Majesty really refuses to draft a talent show, if not, just pick a few upright and respectful women into the palace, and put them by your side. If there are people in the palace, all the ministers We won't be so impatient anymore, after a few more years, when His Majesty intends to expand the harem again, it won't be too late to hold a draft."

Hearing this, Ying Ze paused, turned around thoughtfully, and said:

"You mean, as long as there are people in my palace, those ministers won't be urging Gu to draft?"

Zheng Baisheng nodded:

"Of course, all the officials are anxious because your Majesty has reached the age of the weak crown, but the harem is still empty, so they are worried about the royal heirs. Is it because the first emperor was obsessed with political affairs when he was young, and he did not accept the concubine in time? As a result, the number of heirs is sparse, and now you are like this, the courtiers are naturally worried."

Hearing this, Ying Ze pondered for a long time, and suddenly said to Zheng Baisheng:

"The Empress Dowager has been practicing in the Buddhist hall for many days. I wonder how the day will be?"

When he suddenly mentioned Empress Dowager Xiao, Zheng Baisheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood what the emperor meant, bowed his head and responded:

"Returning to Your Majesty, everything is fine with the Queen Mother, but... I'm afraid she misses her younger generation a little. Why don't you invite Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao into the palace, so as to relieve the Queen Mother's pain of missing her?"

Ying Ze nodded:

"Well, let's do it like this."

Leng Yulan, who didn't know the truth, was a little confused when she received the news.

Others didn't know where Empress Dowager Xiao had gone, but Leng Yulan knew it. When Empress Dowager Xiao left, although she didn't say it explicitly, she intentionally left her a hint. With Leng Yulan's intelligence, she naturally guessed that Empress Dowager Xiao was no longer there. the capital.

But suddenly there was a decree from the palace, announcing the two to enter the palace, Leng Yulan even doubted for a moment, did she think too much, the Empress Dowager Xiao did not leave Beijing at all.

But after calming down, Leng Yulan immediately thought of another possibility, feeling somewhat heavy.

Xiao Yunxiang, who knew nothing about it, didn't think as much as Leng Yulan did. In the past, Empress Dowager Xiao often called her into the palace to teach her niece various things. She raised Xiao Yunxiang as her daughter-in-law. Xiao Yunxiang didn't feel used to calling Xiao Yunxiang.

Now there are rumors in the government and the public that there will be a talent show recently, and the palace suddenly issued an edict to allow the two to enter the palace, Xiao Yunxiang felt that it was normal on the contrary.

Leng Yulan looked at the unburdened sister-in-law, hesitated for a while, and finally did not express her guess, allowing Xiao Yunxiang to enter the palace without any burden.

When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, before they saw Empress Dowager Xiao, the maid first led Leng Yulan to the side hall for tea, saying that Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to talk to Xiao Yunxiang alone.

When Xiao Yunxiang walked into the dormitory of Empress Dowager Xiao in the past, he realized that there was no Empress Dowager Xiao in it at all. Instead, Ying Ze was standing at the head of Empress Dowager Xiao's bed, looking at a beautiful celadon plum vase with broken ice patterns beside the bed against the light.

Xiao Yunxiang looked around, but found no trace of Empress Dowager Xiao, so he reluctantly bowed to Ying Ze:

"My daughter Xiao Yunxiang, I have seen Your Majesty."

Ying Ze turned around and looked her up and down. I don't know if it was intentional, but Xiao Yunxiang's legs were sore, so Ying Ze said reluctantly:

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Xiao Yunxiang scolded Ying Ze severely in his heart, but he still had to maintain etiquette on the face:

"I don't know why Your Majesty is here, where is the Empress Dowager? The servant girl was summoned by the Empress Dowager, why can't she see the Empress Dowager?"

Ying Ze caressed the perfectly ice-cracked plum vase, and said:

"Don't look for her, she's not here, the one who announced you into the palace is Gu, who called you because he has something to tell you."

He let go of the plum vase, turned around and looked at Xiao Yunxiang, with a calm tone:

"Gu intends to marry you as queen."

Xiao Yunxiang was taken aback for a moment, then thought it was funny, and then found that Ying Ze's expression didn't look like he was joking, then felt incredible, and finally tried hard to hold back, but still couldn't hold back, and cursed:

"Yingze, are you fucking out of your mind? Who wants to be your queen?!"
