The Peasant Girl’s Concubine’s Name Moves the World

The Minister of Rites replied respectfully: "There are quite a lot of applicants, and we have already selected a large number of them. These are all qualified in the primary selection. There are a total of 250 people. Please look at the empress."

Qualifying in the primary election means that the family background is clean, the appearance is outstanding, and the morals are correct.

In fact, the last virtue generally has no record of committing crimes in the yamen. When signing up, the village head will guarantee that he has not committed any misconduct on weekdays.

Two hundred and five?

Wen Nuan twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and she nodded: "I will take a look first, step back!"

The Minister of Rites bowed respectfully and withdrew.

After the Minister of Rites retired, Nuan Nuan said to Chen Huan: "Go and invite the Empress Dowager to come over and have a look at these portraits together!"

It should have been warmer.

But because the Queen Mother was worried that Wen Nuan would be inconvenient to move, she said that if there is anything to do, send someone to invite her directly, don't be too polite, or she will get angry.

Seeing so many boxes, Wen Nuan didn't bother to ask people to bother, so she sent someone to invite the queen mother directly.

The queen mother came soon.

Nuan Nuan had already stood up to greet her, and when she saw the Empress Dowager coming in, she stood and saluted with a smile: "My queen is auspicious."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Nuannuan without curtseying: "Is the portrait delivered?"

"Well, Queen Mother, let's pick out some good girls together!"

"it is good!"

So all morning, Nuan Nuan and the Queen Mother looked at the portraits and roster together.

Each portrait is accompanied by a roster.

The roster recorded the family background of the girl's three generations of ancestors, as well as her hobbies and specialties.

The queen mother looked at the women of the officials' families in the capital.

Nuannuan looked at the women of local officials and the sons of good folks.

Because Wen Nuan had a mission, he took the opportunity to look for it, to see if he could find the nail that the saint of southern Xinjiang had placed in Nalan Kingdom.

The Southern Border Saintess Clan was wiped out that day, but no one was caught, so no news was found.

Yang Yue'er didn't know much, her side had already been exposed, and no one contacted her again.

But for so many years, the Saintess Clan of Southern Xinjiang has definitely planted a lot of nails in Nalan Kingdom.

After all, someone had already become the second concubine that day!

A second concubine can do a lot.

Wen Nuan was thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to dig out all these nails to avoid future troubles.

The draft is a very good opportunity.

One afternoon, Nuan Nuan and the Queen Mother carefully selected 150 people.

Among the 150 people, Nuan Nuan also selected many women from good families who had more daughters.

After all, a group of court ladies had to be selected.

In such a big palace, even if there are no concubines in the harem, it still needs maids to clean it.

The queen mother also chose those officials' daughters according to the preferences of the seventh prince.

The Empress Dowager naturally also saw the Seventh Prince's affection for Yang Yue'er, but life in the palace was too boring.

Find something fun to play over there!

In this way, it can not only meet the requirements of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but also find a wife for the grandson, how wonderful!

The next day, the list of the 150 people was announced.

Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad.

When Han Shiyu's maid saw Han Shiyu's name appearing at the front, she was relieved!

It was not in vain that she deliberately waited until the last moment, until the person sent by the old man to guard the yamen had left before she ran to sign up.

Fortunately, the people in the yamen knew that the young lady was the granddaughter of Mr. Han, so they accepted it.

After Han Shiyu knew that the registration was successful, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew her grandfather, and her grandfather would never go to the yamen to say hello and ask people not to sign up for her.

After all, it's about reputation.

He would only send someone to guard the yamen secretly to stop her maid from signing up.

So in the past few days, she deliberately expressed that she had given up signing up for the draft, and then asked the maid to sign up quietly.

Now that the emperor's list has been announced, it's a done deal. If you don't participate in the draft with an excuse and you are found out, it will be disrespectful to the emperor! It is to tease the emperor and the court.

After all, the draft has always been voluntary. What is it if you don't make a fool of the emperor?

Knowing that Han Shiyu had signed up, Mr. Han was so angry that his blood pressure soared.

Han Shoufu and Fang Shi were also very angry.

Han Shoufu said with a headache: "Speaking poetry to the outside world has a sudden illness, so I can't participate in the draft!"

Their daughters of the Han family do not marry the prince, but it is a group training, and it was an ancestral training established at the time of the Taizu Emperor.

Fang sighed: "It's easy to say to the outside world, but the poetic language is obviously not giving up. This kind of thing can't be covered by paper. If it is exposed one day, it will be deceiving the emperor! Besides, this excuse is not for the aristocratic family. This excuse? Everyone will know what's going on as soon as they hear it! If this matter gets out, it will be even more detrimental to the Han family's reputation."

Han Shoufu frowned: "Then what should I do?"

Fang thought for a while: "What can I do? Naturally let Shiyu participate. You are not saying that the emperor has no intention of drafting, so he may not be selected. You don't have to worry. Let nature take its course!"

Han Shoufu thought about it and thought it was right: "I'll go to see my father, but I don't know how angry my father is."

"Go! Advise father, this is the end of the matter, don't get angry."

"Um."

Han Shoufu went to find Mr. Han, but found that Mr. Han had already changed into an official uniform and handed the sign to enter the palace.

Palace

Elder Han saluted Nalan Jinnian respectfully: "The old minister sees the emperor!"

Nalan Jinnian hurried forward to support Mr. Han, preventing him from saluting: "Sir, don't be too polite!"

"A seat!"

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly brought over an armchair with thick cushions on it.

"Sir, please sit down." Nalan Jinnian helped Mr. Han to sit down.

After Mr. Han sat down, Nalan Jinnian returned to the dragon chair and sat down.

"What is the purpose of entering the palace this time, sir?"

Mr. Han sighed: "The old minister has no way to teach his granddaughter, which made the emperor laugh."

Nalan Jinnian understood that he was a matter of this draft.

He had already seen the list of show girls, so he naturally knew that a girl from the Han family had signed up.

Nalan Jinnian studied with Mr. Han when he was a child, and he also knew the two girls of the Han family.

But I just knew that they were the granddaughters of my husband, so I didn't pay much attention to them.

Mr. Han continued: "Don't be afraid that the emperor will laugh at you. I have a granddaughter who has signed up for the draft. You know the Han family's group training, but the child insisted on going his own way. The old minister was negligent for a while and didn't stop him."

"Sir, you are serious. You don't want her to be selected, do you?"

As long as he didn't let him take her in, nothing else could be said.

Mr. Han knew Nalan Jinnian's temperament, and the two had a deep relationship between master and apprentice, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The emperor is wise. That child is competitive, and he is really not suitable for entering the palace as a concubine, not for being a royal concubine."

If it was anyone else, Mr. Han would not dare to enter the palace to say such a thing, but Nalan Jinnian seemed indifferent, he pretended to be the world in his heart, he was fair in dealing with people, and he would not care about these trivial matters.

"Don't worry, sir! I didn't plan to choose a concubine. This time, the emperor will choose a concubine for Lao Qi. Lao Qi already has his own heart."

Old Han was relieved when he heard that.

He was afraid that the emperor would leave a mark on his face.
