In mid March, Emperor Zhengxuan's long-awaited draft finally began. Emperor Zhengxuan was in a good mood and saw that empress Zheng always smiled and encouraged him, so he invited empress Zheng to join the draft to show her respect and favor.
Early that morning, Emperor Zhengxuan finished his early Dynasty and arrived at the imperial garden.
During this time, the weather is more and more warm and full of spring. The royal garden is colorful, lively and charming. Isn't it wonderful that flowers match beauty?
Therefore, Emperor Zhengxuan asked people to set a table in the imperial garden and choose beauty here.
Emperor Zhengxuan walked into the imperial garden. Empress Zheng also came and quickly saluted: "see the emperor."
"Hahaha, Queen, get up." Emperor Zhengxuan picked her up, and the couple went to the throne.
Empress Zheng looked at emperor Zhengxuan's spring face with a smile, but her eyes were cold. Husband's vinegar, no matter what age, is delicious. Especially at this juncture - her son's ability has controlled the overall situation. In that case, why should she bear it!
The two sat down. CAI Jie ordered people to serve wine and vegetables. A musician played elegant music carefully.
CAI Jie asked emperor Zhengxuan as she poured the wine. Emperor Zhengxuan nodded. CAI Jie straightened up and screamed, "xiunv, come in!"
In front of the emperor, there were only 50 beautiful women left. In order to let emperor Zhengxuan see it carefully, five people in a row were divided into ten batches.
With CAI Jie's voice, the ladies came in slowly and stood in front of emperor Zhengxuan one by one.
Emperor Zhengxuan looked at these young girls standing neatly in front of him. His heart was agitated. Looking at them, he felt like he was ten years younger.
The charming and quiet girls stood in front of themselves. Emperor Xuan had been dry for more than ten years. A pair of yellow old eyes were not enough to see the beautiful women. They wanted to leave them all.
"See the emperor." The five ladies saluted neatly. Looking up for a moment, they saw two people on the throne not far away. They were dressed in bright yellow dragon robes. They were quite dignified, but their hair was gray, their faces were wrinkled, and their old eyes were dim yellow. At a glance, they looked like an old man in his eighties.
The ladies could not help but tremble in their hearts. Two of them turned pale, and the remaining three were only disappointed.
CAI Jie read the famous chapter.
Emperor Zhengxuan had calmed down and looked down at a book in front of him, so he circled one of the pictures in the book with a pen.
When empress Zheng saw that he had chosen the most beautiful one, she couldn't help humming.
After three more rounds, the fifth round, five more beautiful women came in.
Emperor Zhengxuan's yellow old eyes were lifted, and then flashed a stunning color. The second beauty from the right was beautiful and refined. Her appearance was not so flirtatious. What's rare is that she had an unparalleled bearing, like a clear spring. Just look colder!
Emperor Zhengxuan looked down and saw that the beauty's name was su Ziqin. Even her name was so beautiful! She immediately circled her name without thinking about it.
In the next five rounds, Emperor Zhengxuan circled six more people.
Twelve people were left in this draft.
Empress Zheng hurriedly asked the little eunuch to leave the palace to report to the prince.
Prince's study——
The prince was just entering the study with song Xiao and an old man when he saw the little eunuch coming to deliver the letter. The prince opened it, but it was a list.
The prince spread the roster on the desk and looked at it. The prince sneered: "I'm not ashamed. I left twelve people. Can he chew it?"
Li Gui and the old man snorted.
The prince gently brushed the name on the book with his fingers, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Four of the people we asked to check last time were picked by him." Then he looked at Song Xiao: "can you find out?"
"Yes." Song Xiao said and presented a pamphlet, "my subordinates are preparing to present it to your highness."
The prince turned over and finally nodded at Su Ziqin's booklet: "just her!"
Song Xiao and the old man hurriedly said, "Your Highness, she is the most suitable of all the ladies."
Her life story and daily activities are clearly written in the booklet.
This daughter is the eldest daughter of a well-known and unknown rich merchant. But because his biological mother died early, he had a stepmother and no close brothers and sisters with his mother, he lived a very oppressive life since childhood.
Before her death, her dead mother made an engagement for her. She must be her uncle's cousin.
Cousins usually have excellent feelings. You are strong and I am strong.
As a result, the emperor suddenly wanted to draft, and all the prefectures were eager to offer beauties, and Su Ziqin was a famous beauty in Liangzhou. The governor of Liangzhou went to the Su family and said that Su Ziqin would win the draft with her beauty!
Master Su was thirsty for a royal concubine at home, so he used the waste to ruin his marriage and let Su Ziqin enter the Beijing draft.
Su Ziqin's cousin's fiance ran to Su's house to make trouble. As a result, she was seriously injured. She was carried home and died within a few days.
The magistrate asked people to cover up the matter, only saying that her fiance died of illness. Su Ziqin's uncle and aunt wanted to make trouble. As a result, the magistrate beat the husband and wife and kept suppressing their business, making them unable to survive in the city government of Liangzhou.
Su Ziqin was forced into the palace under such a background.
The prince couldn't help recalling Su Ziqin. She was definitely the top of the beautiful women. She had a good temperament. After a while, they officially waited for her bed. The old thing would not leave her behind. That was an opportunity!
"Just her!" The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, "looking at that desperate look, ha ha, now it may be just to live for his uncle's family. Li Gui, you send someone into the palace to send a message to your mother and ask her to arrange the red warbler to Su Ziqin. "
"Yes." Li Gui promised and turned away.
These beautiful women were born from civilian women and had many palace rules, so they had to learn the palace rules for a month before they could sleep. Although they haven't been officially sealed yet, they will first arrange a little maid to serve them.

Zhenxi Houfu——
Ye Tangcai did embroidery slowly and bored.
A few days ago, she was annoyed by him and stuck to her every day, so that she couldn't draw and embroider well, but now he left, but she lost her mood to do embroidery or painting again.
"The third master should be in Lingzhou?" Yetang mining road.
"It must be here." Huiran said while wearing silk thread.
Just then, the voice of Qingliu sounded outside, "third grandma, Yu Han is coming."
Ye Tangcai was surprised: "come in."
Yu Han picked up the curtain and saluted, "see grandma three. Just received the letter, the third master has arrived in weighing state. "
Ye Tangcai breathed a sigh of relief: "what's the news from King liang?"
"Third Master, they went all the way to Lingzhou, and a yamen from Lingzhou came to report to the third master that King Liang had fought with the magistrate of Lingzhou several times, but he escaped. The magistrate closed the front and back gates tightly and did not allow the people to go in and out. Now we are waiting for the third master to come and catch a turtle in a jar! " Yuhan road.
Ye Tangcai snorted, "it's really catching a turtle in a jar."
