Chapter 855

Xie Yunjin thought of this possibility, and sneered bluntly.

The Chen family was summoned to Beijing by His Majesty after he recognized the Supreme Emperor. Their family has only been in Beijing for two years. Is their daughter well-bred and worthy of entering the palace? It's fantastic.

Xie Yunjin went all the way back to the backyard, saw Lu Jiao and asked, "I saw the Chen family's carriage leaving just now, what are they doing here?"

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with a smile and said, "Their family wants to send their daughter to the palace."

Xie Yunjin frowned: "Their family is becoming more and more dissatisfied. They actually want to send people into His Majesty's harem. They think so much."

If His Majesty first came to the throne, if it was not for the purpose of stabilizing the court, he would not have accepted a concubine in such a short period of time.

What's the matter with the Chen family?

A full stomach.

"Okay, don't bother with their family, His Majesty will not let Chen's daughter into the palace. Their daughter has only been in Beijing for two years, so she is not suitable for entering the palace."

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with a smile and said, "This matter should be decided by His Majesty."

"Okay, when you go back to the palace, tell him about it."

Lu Jiao got up and went to take off the official robe for Xie Yunjin, and then asked Xie Yunjin: "Not only the Chen family, but the Zhao Guogong's mansion also sent a letter of worship. It seems that their family also wants to send a daughter into the palace."

Xie Yunjin's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said, "No accident, His Majesty wants to admit Zhao's daughters into the palace. Except for the Zhao family, the daughters of Duke Wu's mansion, and the daughters of several dignitaries in the court, will be taken into the palace by His Majesty." middle."

Lu Jiao nodded to express her understanding. To accept the daughters of these dignitaries and stabilize the court for the time being, His Majesty will definitely suppress the dignitaries in the future so that they will not dare to be unscrupulous and do whatever they want.

"I know."

The capital, because of the matter of His Majesty accepting the concubine, became lively all of a sudden, and this matter was the most lively topic in the streets and alleys.

Clothing shops, jewelry shops, rouge and gouache shops, business is booming even more because of the concubine incident.

Xie's family is also crowded, and people often come to visit. At first, Lu Jiao was able to entertain one or two, but later she got annoyed with this matter, and took people directly to hide in Zhuangzi.

Nie Yuyao, Tian Huan and Zhu Baozhu also took the opportunity to sneak up to Zhuangzi with their servants to hide.

Because of their friendship with Lu Jiao, they have had guests come to visit every day recently, so I asked them to come to Lu Jiao to talk about love.

Not to mention Nie Yuyao, Tian Huan and others, even Xie Linglong, who was born in a dragon and phoenix, did not escape. In the Chongde Girls' Court, many seniors came to ask her for help.

Xie Linglong had such a headache that she didn't even dare to go to the academy, she hoped that the fourth brother's concubine matter would be over quickly.

In Lvyun Villa, a few women hid in the shade of the trees, drinking tea and chatting, their small days were extraordinarily comfortable.

"It's better to stay here."

Lu Jiao sighed.

Nie Yuyao nodded and said, "It's true. In the past, noble ladies in Beijing were not so eager to enter the palace. This time, they are crazy. Every household is scrambling to enter the palace. After all, it is still the charm of our Four Treasures." so big."

"Young and beautiful, and still an emperor, the key point is that there are still few women in the harem. There are only empresses and concubines in the palace. No wonder those women want to enter the palace like crazy."

Tian Huan nodded on one side: "Little Four Treasures are still attractive, but if this woman has a lot of right and wrong, she will have more troubles. I am afraid that the palace will not be peaceful in the future. Can Four Treasures handle it?"

Lu Jiao sighed, "He can't help it either."

Waiting for the Four Treasures to benevolent to the world, doing more things that are beneficial to the people of the Great Zhou, and waiting for the people to believe that he is a promising emperor of the Great Zhou. I will take action to clean up the family.

Lu Jiao said while thinking, "Okay, let's not talk about this bad thing."

"Yes, yes, come and drink tea, drink tea."

The women stayed at Zhuangzi for three full days before going back, and it was because the time for His Majesty to choose a concubine came and Lu Jiao had to go back to Beijing.

The next day, when His Majesty was choosing a concubine, Lu Jiao brought her into the palace early.

In Kunning Palace, apart from the queen, concubine Shu is also there.

Concubine Shu Wang Mengyao was very happy when she saw Lu Jiao: "Aunt Lu, you are here."

Lu Jiao nodded, and looked at Wang Mengyao, mainly to see if Wang Mengyao would be annoyed because of His Majesty's choice of concubine, but looking around, she didn't see this girl angry, Lu Jiao let go of her heart, to be honest, marrying If you give it to the emperor, you can't think that the emperor will only marry one.

The queen and Wang Mengyao's mentality is actually quite good.

"Are you still used to being in the palace?"

Lu Jiao asked Wang Mengyao concerned.

Wang Mengyao smiled and said: "It's pretty good, except that it's not as free as before, everything else is okay."

After entering the palace, it was not very convenient to go in and out, but His Majesty dispatched a person to take care of her, and she could arrange for that person to do many things, but she could not freely enter and leave the palace like before.

But her mentality is also good, now that she has become Concubine Shu, she can only accept her fate.

His Majesty is tolerant enough to her, if she is not satisfied, it will be too much.

To live in this world, one must first be content, not being content, being insatiable will be annoying.

After hearing Wang Mengyao's words, Lu Jiao said with a smile: "You are a concubine in the palace, how can you be as comfortable as before, but I see that you look good, which means you are okay in the palace."

Wang Mengyao smiled triumphantly: "That's right, I'm like that weed, I can live well anywhere."

Seeing that Lu Jiao and Concubine Shu were talking happily, the queen on one side felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

After a few words with Wang Mengyao, Lu Jiao turned around and started talking to the queen.

"Has the concubine selection started?"

The initial stage of choosing a concubine is to be selected by the Minister of the Shang Palace Bureau, whether there is any disease in the body, appearance, etc., after the previous selection is completed, the Queen and Lu Jiao and other candidates are needed later, and then the candidates they draw up will be selected. It was handed over to the emperor for viewing, and the emperor selected candidates from among them.

In fact, the process of selecting concubines is already simple enough, and the elections this time are all the daughters of officials of the third rank. The number of people is not too large, and it will not take that long.

After staying in Kunning Palace for a while, Lu Jiao found that Empress Pei Yu was yawning all the time, as if she was sleepy. Lu Jiao asked Pei Yu concerned: "Did Empress not sleep well last night? If you didn't sleep well, go to bed quickly."

Pei Yu said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on these few days, I'm always prone to drowsiness, but I actually slept pretty well last night."

Even though she was going to accept a concubine for His Majesty today, as a queen, Pei Yu had already recognized the fact that it was impossible for her and Concubine Shu to be the only ones in His Majesty's harem, so she slept well last night, but today she was still a little sleepy.

After hearing Pei Yu's words, Lu Jiao immediately thought of something, looked at her with a smile and said, "Come here and I'll take your pulse."

Pei Yu looked puzzled: "I'm not sick, the imperial doctor takes my pulse every day."

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, so I might as well get your pulse."

"it is good."
