Chapter Fifteen Yi Xingen

The emperor was casually watching the excitement, but at this moment his movements were paused, and his eyes were full of surprise when he stared at the girl-but only for a moment, he turned into silence, and immediately noticed the queen's movements, and smiled slightly: "Queen?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of beauty is rare even in the palace." Empress Ji's thoughts changed, and she chuckled, "It's a pity to start as a girl picker, even though she came from a humble background. How about sealing a robe?"

When she said this, she never deliberately lowered her voice, and the people in the palace could hear her clearly. The concubines were fine, but the eight pickers all showed a somewhat shocked expression. Obviously, these days, they have been taking extra lessons in Xiuzhuo Palace. Knowing that pickers can make tribute clothes as soon as they come up, what kind of exception is it.

Among them, the stunning girl Cai was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head subconsciously, not knowing whether it was shyness or concealing her secret joy.

"Since the rules of the ancestors, the selection of women to enter the palace starts with the selection of women." Emperor Chunjia seldom expressed his opinion on the promotion of the harem, especially this time. Of course, it is very kind, but for the level of the empress, it is nothing at all, so no one thought that the emperor, who had been very tolerant and kind before, rejected the empress's proposal, "If you make an exception for virtue Forget it, it’s not appropriate to make an exception for beauty. How the queen arranges other adoptive daughters is how she arranges this daughter-in-law.”

After a pause, "Besides, the queen hasn't said whether to choose her."

After saying this, the eight picking girls trembled again, and the beautiful picking girl subconsciously clenched her sleeves tightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if fearful or worried.

Empress Ji pursed her lips, and continued after a while: "Yes. It's just that the concubine feels that this woman is very beautiful. It would be a pity not to keep her. She should be included in the list of adopted women."

Emperor Chunjia gave a faint "hmm", his eyes were deep and deep, and he couldn't see any joy, anger, likes and dislikes.

Because of the picking girl named Yi Xingen, the empress never mentioned letting the palace maid take over as the host. Seeing that it was time for the meal, she ordered the selection to put it on hold, and passed the meal in the side hall of Xiuzhuo Palace... After the meal , Emperor Chunjia left first on the pretext of government affairs, while the concubines stayed and continued to watch.

It's just that the selection for three consecutive days is over, and although there are many beauties who are fat, swallows and thin, there is no second Yi Xingen who is as charming as Yi Xingen.

"How do flower and bird envoys do things?" Although the maids will move out of the Xiuzhuo Palace after choosing the concubines and maids, they cannot take office immediately. The former needs to be trained on concubine etiquette and palace rules; the latter is waiting Distributed to various places, learn from the elder palace people to be errands in the future.

This time is not long, and it is mainly for the concubines to communicate with them, um, mainly for the whereabouts of the newly promoted concubines.

That's why Wei Hengyan came to talk to Yun Fenghuang, and complained as soon as he entered the door, "It's okay for others, such as Yi, Xu, Zhao, and Qu, they don't know how to get along?! Really There is no wink at all!"

The members of the Yi clan she mentioned were all the outstanding ones in this selection. Needless to say, Yi Xingen was a peerless beauty that the emperor, empress and concubines were stunned by.

Xu Zhaohua from the Xu family, Zhao Xiang from the Zhao family, and Qu Hongzhuan from the Qu family are all celestial beings with lost appearance. In terms of beauty, it is not under the clouds and winds. If it is placed in the era of the emperor's arbitrariness, they are all enough to rely on beauty to lead the family in one fell swoop. A lovely person who turned over and stepped into the elite class.

And although Emperor Chunjia has been a puppet for eight years, he has now started to rule in person, and it is unknown what will happen in the future... Besides, even if he is a puppet emperor, in Wei Hengyan's view, he is also his husband, and it is not so much Her love is deep and righteous, but she doesn't want to be left out too much, it seems that she is so incompetent, that she can't even compete with a good family from a poor family.

She was too embarrassed to tell the people around her about these thoughts, but she talked endlessly to Yun Fenghuang, who was now in a higher position, "It's also because your majesty is too kind. Before the empress asked questions, she smoothed things out. They behaved well!"

"It's just something from a small family, and it's worthy of your attention as a noble girl?" Yun Fenghuang smiled slightly, and handed over a bowl of honey smoothie, persuading her to calm down, "Flower and Bird Messenger Why didn't you report it? In the final analysis, you don't know that the palace doesn't take these girls seriously, so you don't dare to be courteous? And why are you in a hurry? You see, the empress is going to reward Na Yi with a tribute. His Majesty dismissed it on the spot, so it can be seen that in His Majesty's eyes, a peerless beauty is just like that."

Wei Hengyan was not convinced and said: "Sister, I think this is His Majesty's love for the Yi family! After all, it is the ancestor's practice to choose all the women to enter the palace. Yi Zhaoren is jealous, and breaking the rules to seal Fengyi is not a good thing for her!"

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't hold back and added, "Not everyone has the intelligence and talent of a big sister. Once she enters the palace, she is on the cusp of the storm, but she can still calm down to this day. Na Yi's background is not even a decent and good family. It is said that the envoy of flowers and birds pretended not to admit her because she saw that she was really beautiful, but I think she has nothing but good looks! Looking back, I don’t know what kind of life I will be able to live in this palace!"

Although Yun Fenghuang's status is still overwhelming her now, after all, her family background is holding her back, but she is not as well-informed as she is about these news. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? And this matter? What is Yi's original background?"

"Who knows?" Wei Hengyan bit his lip and said, "Didn't Gongzhou, Hengzhou, Zhizhou and the three states rebelled a few days ago? Many common people and even wealthy households fled with their families because they were afraid of the cruelty of the rebels. , forming a large group of refugees, fleeing into the surrounding counties and counties... This Yishi seems to be from Zhizhou. He was separated from his family in the chaos of the war, and he was confused by the high fever for days. He couldn't even remember his name. Finally, he was killed If I sold it to Ren Yazi, if I didn’t catch up with the flower and bird envoys to pick it up, I’m afraid I won’t be sent to those shady places!”

But because Yi Shi was so beautiful, Ren Yazi felt that she was not a real nobleman and had no right to enjoy her—so Ren Yazi remembered her in the family of his relatives who were poor but innocent, and regarded her as a peasant girl. Participate in selection.

Afterwards, of course it was a blockbuster, and the Flower and Bird Messenger was like a treasure. Even after the investigation, he found out that the identity of this good family member was in doubt, he treated him as if he did not know, and insisted on bringing him back to the Imperial Capital all the way.

"Her surname is the surname of Ren Yazi's relatives, and the name was given by the Flower and Bird Envoy." Wei Hengyan rolled his eyes and said to Yun Fenghuang, "Xingen Xingen, fortunately, the heavenly family's kindness... Tch! Ours The sisters don't know what to think, everyone knows the inside story, but none of them stand up to question, but they just asked the empress to assign people to their palace!"

Even, "Even the two pregnant ones were not willing to be lonely, and each sent someone to tell the empress that they are currently having a baby, and it is inconvenient to add too many people to the palace, but one or two is still possible. I heard that Yishi is beautiful, and I really want her to serve in front of me, so that I can feel more at ease, so that I can better bear children for the royal family... Tsk tsk!"

Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "What do you think? It was the empress who hinted that we should not join in the fun this time. Otherwise, can you and I not get involved? After all, Yi Shi's appearance was placed there, and His Majesty certainly did not agree that day I made an exception to confer a tribute to her, but she is so stunning, we women want to take a few more glances at it, let alone Your Majesty? With her in the palace, are you afraid that Your Majesty will be less in the future?"

Moreover, the more times the emperor visited, the chance of Yishi's pregnancy would naturally increase.

Given her background, it is unlikely that she will be a concubine for a long time, let alone a short time.

So she gave birth to children, isn't she busy with the Lord?

With the emperor already in charge, why not have such a ready-made helper?

As for the fact that Yishi's background has a flaw, that's even better, it can be used now, and if she has a chance to turn around in the future, or if she becomes disobedient, this will be a handle now!

"...If she is a member of the palace, what is the use of your majesty's diligence? She is not looking for us when she comes!" Wei Hengyan frowned and sighed, "Forget it, don't talk about it, my sister will be there that day. There are many people, but do you plan to come to Xuanqing Palace? It will be lively after that day."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Let's be lively! You still have a few people to accompany you in Yijia Palace. If Qingman was not willing to come to accompany me two days ago, I would not dare to sleep at night. The big palace is quiet It's like dying, what's the point of living here!"

It's good that she didn't mention "death light", but when she mentioned it, Wei Hengyan became a little crazy: "Can my sister not say that? I think of Xinqing again!"

"Okay, don't mention it." Yun Fenghuang smiled indulgently, watching her look like she wanted to have another bowl of honeydew ice, and stopped her, "This is too cold, it's no good for us girls to eat too much .I don't care now, you better take it easy."

Wei Hengyan was startled by what he said, then subconsciously glanced at her lower abdomen, and sighed a little, but she was not sure what Yun Fenghuang was thinking, so she didn't dare to say anything on this topic, so she put down the silver spoon and said with a sneer: "I listen to my sister. of."

So the palace servants brought up a pot of warm rose drink and a few plates of pastries. The two ate and chatted, and then they felt bored. Leaf brand, right?"

Yun Fenghuang readily agreed, and the servants in the palace hurriedly blessed her out, and soon came in with Yun Qingman, whose cheeks were slightly red from the sun.

Yun Qingman was not a very lively and cheerful personality, after coming to Xuanqing Palace, she became more taciturn and thinner. Now when she saw the two Jieyu in the hall, she stepped forward to salute——Wei Hengyan then Seeing Yun Fenghuang, Yun Fenghuang sat motionless, and waved his hands lazily: "Qingman, you are really out of touch, how many times have you said, our own sisters, what are you doing with these vain rituals? Neither is the sister of the Wei family. outsider."

He pointed to Wei Hengyan and asked her to sit down, and greeted the palace servants, "Give Qingman a portion of the rose drink and snacks too. Sister Wei and I both eat well, Qingman, you should try it too."

Looking at her calm expression, it seems that Yun Qingman and Yun Qingman have never had any entanglements, and they are still good sisters who are affectionate and affectionate.

Wei Hengyan inexplicably regretted her proposal. She heard that Yun Fenghuang went to Concubine Shu's Palace and led Yun Qingman to Xuanqing Palace, and she was very curious, but Tongxia Palace was very strict. , and still can't figure out anything. This side of Xuanqing Palace is a start-up, so there is not much secrecy. The problem is that the palace people here are also confused... The only person who knows is probably Xi Le, but Xi Le always follows the wind and wind when he goes in and out, and rarely orders, but Not so easy to exploit.

So just now, when I had the opportunity, I raised my mouth, wanting to observe what happened between the pair of handkerchiefs that used to be exchanged?

Or, what happened between Yun Fenghuang and the Yun family?

But looking at Yun Qingman, who seemed to be of similar age and background to his own, trembling, frightened and trying to please, Wei Hengyan was somewhat embarrassed.

She has always felt that people like Yun Qingman, Xue Xiaoge, and others are her own kind, because only real noble girls like them have the dignity, generosity, knowledge and understanding that have been infiltrated for many years. The servants and servants are worse than them.

But now looking at Yun Qingman... how petty it looks...

I don't know what Yun Fenghuang did to her?

Wei Hengyan thought about it in her heart, and she was a little dazed, because she found that she didn't seem to have seen pettiness in Yun Fenghuang from the beginning to the end. Now that she is Jieyu, I don't know if it is because of her psychology, but this one It's getting more majestic...

This made Wei Hengyan a little confused. She believed that she came from a famous family with a long history of education, and she was not comparable to the kind of nouveau riche who got rich. So what they are proud of has never been how expensive the hairpin skirts are, nor how rare the makeup and eyebrows are.

But Yun Fenghuang... Well, forget it, if this Mao Jieyu is so easy for her to see clearly, the lords in the palace can let her rise all the way and break the tacit agreement to become a concubine?

Wei Hengyan shook his head and didn't think too much, and concentrated on participating in the leaf card.

The three of them spent an entire afternoon like this... Seeing the scorching sun, Yun Fenghuang was about to open his mouth to save food, and unexpectedly, a palace official came to report that the Chongchang Palace had already allocated the new concubines. The group belonging to Xuanqing Palace has already arrived at the gate of the palace, please show me to Yun Fenghuang.

"Then I'll go back and have a look!" Wei Hengyan dropped the card when he heard it, and hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Yun Fenghuang, "The newcomers of Yijia Palace are probably waiting at the door."

Yun Fenghuang said: "Our two palaces are only a few steps away, don't be in such a hurry, walk slowly, and step carefully." Seeing Wei Hengyan leaving in a hurry, she smiled at Yun Qingman with her head down, "It's just right, Let's meet the newcomer together."

As he spoke, he took a sip of the tea and asked the palace servants to send the newcomers to come in to greet him.

It didn't take long, and the newcomers hadn't been brought in yet. Wei Hengyan, who left in a hurry, hurried back - Yun Fenghuang and Yun Qingman were all curious, and before she could ask, she had already sat back on the seat at the bottom of Yunfenghuang , with a strange expression: "Sister, I saw Yi Shi and Qu Shi at your door!"

"Yi Shi Qu Shi?" Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard the words, "Aren't they both very popular with your sisters? Why did they come here?"

How did Wei Hengyan know? She just couldn't figure it out, so she didn't even care about the newcomers in her own palace, and Tete turned back to see what happened!
