One man stood up, and many people immediately followed, all asking the emperor to pay attention to the draft.

The only courtier who didn't speak was Li Qingyan.

He just stood so quietly without saying anything.

Luo QingHan's eyes fell on him and asked faintly.

"Why didn't Li Shilang speak?"

Now Li Qingyan is already a servant of the Ministry of officials. He has four grades of official residence and is qualified to enter the temple to discuss politics.

Li said lightly: "the draft is your Majesty's private affair. Weichen is just a foreign minister and has no right to interfere in your Majesty's private affair."

He knew very well that there was someone in the emperor's heart. Even if that person was gone, the emperor could not forget it. Since he could not forget it, how could he be willing to accept other women?

The others didn't look very good when they heard Li's words.

Someone said coldly, "Li Shilang's words are easy to say. Your Majesty's children are related to the country. As a minister, I should advise your majesty to open more branches and leaves."

Li Qingyan did not distinguish, but said, "what you said is also reasonable."

In the end, the emperor still didn't go to Country Pavilion.

The little eunuch didn't dare say that the Emperor didn't want to come, but said that the emperor was busy with government affairs and couldn't get away for the time being.

When the Empress Dowager heard the speech, she felt a little dissatisfied, but because the concubines were present, she couldn't show this dissatisfaction, but said not lightly or seriously.

"Since the emperor is so busy, AI family and your concubines will help share the worries about the draft.

AI Jia is old and his eyes are not very good. He may see the wrong things.

You have to look carefully later.

If you see a suitable girl, you must remind the mourning family. "

The concubines respectfully replied, "here."

The ladies entered the hall in batches and introduced their identities one by one.

Bai Feifei was not comfortable at the thought that these women came to rob the emperor with themselves. No matter which one she saw, it was not pleasing to the eye.

But the Empress Dowager was still sitting at the head. She didn't dare to show her mind, so as not to be said to be jealous, so she could only hold it.

Imperial concubine Jing looked at these beautiful girls in front of her and felt uncomfortable.

But she has always been good at dancing. No matter what she thinks, she looks dignified and magnanimous.

She actively gave advice and helped the Empress Dowager choose beautiful women.

Such magnanimity really won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager.

Seeing this, Chen Wanyi seemed inspired and imitated the practice of Princess Jing. She took the initiative to help out and tried her best to please the Empress Dowager.

With the three of them talking, the whole draft process is not too cold.

Finally, there were six beauties left.

Among them is a niece and granddaughter of the empress dowager, named Lu Peier.

The Empress Dowager's family name is Lu. According to the Lu family's idea, she planned to send two girls of school age to be married to the palace, but she was rejected by the Empress Dowager.

If you send both to the palace, outsiders must doubt the intention of the Empress Dowager.

She doesn't want to get into such trouble. Just one of them is enough.

In addition to the six beauties left in the palace, the Empress Dowager picked out four of them and rationed them to the children of the imperial family.

The ladies suddenly thanked.

In this way, this year's small election has ended smoothly.

In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager personally went to Weiyang palace to inform the emperor of the draft results.

Luo QingHan answered faintly: "thank you, grandma."

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she frowned and said, "if you have any opinion, just say it. There's no need to look like this."

Luo QingHan: "I have no opinion. I just don't want to choose a concubine."

The Empress Dowager was even more angry: "if you don't want to choose a concubine, you can have a child. The mourning family doesn't require to have a prince. It's OK to have a princess. At least block the mouths of those people outside and don't let them gossip about it."

Luo QingHan is now twenty years old.

Many people have several children at his age.

But he didn't even have one.

There are a lot of people talking about it outside. They have anything ugly.

Of course, no one dares to say those words in public, but they can't stand people talking in private.

Luo QingHan was silent.

Empress Dowager: "why don't you speak?"

Luo QingHan: "I have nothing to say."

What can he say?

Said he didn't want to have children?

If you really say this, you can immediately make the Empress Dowager faint with anger.

The Empress Dowager forbeared and forbeared. In the end, she still couldn't forbear and asked her words.

"Are you still thinking about concubine Xiao?"

Luo QingHan stopped talking again.

The Empress Dowager asked, "there are so many women in the harem. Can't they compare with her as a dead man?"

Hearing the word "dead man", Luo QingHan's face turned pale in an instant.

He wanted to retort that she was not dead, but he couldn't say anything at the thought of the letters found in Li Qingyan's house.

When the Empress Dowager saw his red eyes, most of her anger went out immediately.

She was in a hurry just now, and now she can't help regretting it.

You shouldn't have said that.

The Empress Dowager sighed powerlessly.

"Forget it, I won't talk about her.

Think about it for yourself.

You are the emperor. You can't live without children.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the future of Dasheng. "

When the Empress Dowager left, Luo QingHan waved back the servants in the hall.

He opened the cabinet and took out a small wooden box with a lock.

He took out his key, inserted it into the lock hole and opened the small wooden box.

Twenty letters lay quietly in the box.

Four words were written on the envelope of each letter——

The prince opened it himself.

Even though the writer has tried hard to write better, it still looks a little ugly.

In fact, it's not ugly, but the font is a little fat and looks simple.

Luo QingHan gently stroked his fingertips from the envelope.

At the end of last year, Zhongwu general's military house received a letter with the prince's personal opening written on the envelope.

Fearing that the letter was not clean, Xiao Lingfeng opened the envelope without authorization. After reading the contents of the letter, he knew that the letter was written by Xiao Xi to the crown prince.

Of course, the crown prince was already the emperor at that time.

Xiao Lingfeng handed the letter to the emperor.

At that time, Luo QingHan thought Xiao Xixi was going back to the Xuanmen. He asked people to inquire about the Xuanmen and wanted to find Xiao Xixi back.

The first time he received the letter, he was both surprised and delighted.

Xiao Xixi said in her letter that she had completed the task of the school. Now she was light and wanted to play around.

She also said something about her recent situation, and her words were very light.

At the end of the letter, she said that she had a good time outside and hoped that the prince would not go to her. At the same time, she also hoped that the prince would be a good emperor after he succeeded to the throne and not waste her efforts.

The letter was written casually and wrote wherever she wanted, just as she gave people the same feeling.

Luo QingHan's first reaction after reading the letter was to rest assured.

From the content of the letter, Xiao Xi is safe at least now.

As long as she's safe, everything else is easy to say.
