The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Dai Quan smiled and nodded.

"Court has just ended. How about I go in and inform you?"

At this moment, the voice of Emperor Xinglong was heard from the hall.

"Which dog slave is being so unruly outside?"

Dai Quan smiled slightly awkwardly and bowed to Eunuch Xia.

Eunuch Xia was not annoyed. He just laughed and then respectfully bowed towards the direction in the imperial study where the sound came from.

"Your servant Xia Shouzhong pays homage to His Majesty! I have come to deliver the Emperor's oral instructions!"

As he spoke, Xia Shouzhong stood up without waiting for Emperor Xinglong to speak, walked slowly into the palace gate, turned around and bowed to the imperial desk in the imperial study.

"This servant, Xia Shouzhong, pays homage to His Majesty!"

Before Xia Shouzhong walked in, the murderous intent in Emperor Xinglong's eyes had disappeared.

Seeing Xia Shouzhong, he smiled and said,

"It turned out to be Eunuch Xia. I thought it was some bold little slave from out of nowhere!"

"You have worked hard in serving the Emperor, so there is no need to be so polite in front of me!"

Xia Shouzhong showed a bit of panic on his face, bowed and saluted, but smiled and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am just a servant in the palace. I don't deserve your kindness!"

Emperor Xinglong did not continue with this matter. He looked at Xia Shouzhong, smiled and nodded, and asked,

"I wonder what the Emperor's purpose is for Eunuch Xia's visit?"

Xia Shouzhong quickly stood up and bowed in the direction of the Daming Palace.

"The Emperor's order!"

Emperor Xinglong stood up, bowed slightly to Xia Shouzhong, and clasped his fists with a serious expression.

Xia Shouzhong waved his hands and said,

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has said that this is a family matter, no formalities are necessary!"

"Oh? Family matters?"

Emperor Xinglong slowly put down his hand and looked at the smiling Xia Shouzhong with a bit of doubt.

"I don't know, does the emperor have any instructions?"

Xia Shouzhong bowed slightly and smiled.

"The Emperor said, Your Majesty, you work hard day and night, so you should take care of your health!"

Emperor Xinglong bowed and said,

"Thank you, Father, for your instruction. I will keep it in mind!"

"I also hope that Father can take care of his health!"

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly bowed and said,

"I will report the emperor's words to him."

"Oh, right, the Concubine Dowager advised the Retired Emperor that His Majesty has few children and should select concubines from all over the country to fill the harem!"

"The Emperor has ordered this servant to come and ask His Majesty's opinion!"

The smile on Emperor Xinglong's face froze slightly and he frowned.

But soon, he recovered.

He slowly stood up straight, nodded slightly and smiled at Xia Shouzhong and said,

"My father and the Concubine Dowager have shown me great care and concern. I am deeply grateful."

"I will take care of this matter myself. I'll trouble you, Eunuch Xia."

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly bowed.

"I dare not! Your Majesty, your words are too harsh! I will take my leave!"

Emperor Xinglong smiled and nodded slowly.

"Go!"

Then he said to Dai Quan in the hall,

"Send Eunuch Xia off!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Dai Quan bowed and accepted the order, then turned to Xia Shouzhong and said,

"Eunuch Xia, please!"

Xia Shouzhong bowed to Emperor Xinglong again, then slowly left the imperial study.

After Xia Shouzhong left,

The smile on Emperor Xinglong's face slowly froze. He snorted coldly, grabbed Yuan Shuxing's inkstone and smashed it to the ground.

The noise instantly alarmed the palace servants serving inside and outside the palace.

Seeing this, he immediately knelt on the ground.

As soon as Dai Quan came in, he saw this.

He knelt hurriedly in front of the imperial desk.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Xinglong slowly sat on the dragon throne and instructed Dai Quan,

"I hereby order the Ministry of Revenue to send a letter to Zhili, as well as to all provinces and prefectures, to begin the selection process within the year."

Listening to Emperor Xinglong's emotionless voice,

Dai Quan trembled all over and kowtowed to the leader's order.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

As he said this, he was about to get up.

Emperor Xinglong spoke again at this time.

"Also, I remember that the Queen has a daughter sent to the palace by the Rongguo Mansion, right?"

Dai Quan was slightly stunned, then quickly kowtowed and replied,

"The lady beside the Empress is named Jia Yuanchun, and she has been in the palace for five years!"

Emperor Xinglong nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Dai Quan,

"After five years in the palace, he has been so cautious and prudent, which shows that he has good character!"

"I hereby declare that Jia Yuanchun of Rongguo Mansion is selected to be admitted to the Fengzao Palace and is canonized..."
