Chapter 1404

The Minister of rites respectfully replied, "there are many applicants. We have selected most of them. They are all qualified in the primary election. A total of 250 people. Please have a look at the empress."

Qualified in the primary election means innocent family background, outstanding appearance and correct morality.

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

stupid?

Warm smell speech, the corners of her mouth smoked, she nodded: "this palace has a look first, back down!"

The Minister of rites bowed respectfully and retired.

When the Minister of rites retired, he said to Chen Huan warmly, "please invite the Empress Dowager to come and have a look at these portraits together!"

It should have been warm in the past.

However, because the Empress Dowager was worried about the warmth and inconvenient movement, she said that if anything, she would send someone directly to invite her. You're welcome, otherwise she would be angry.

Seeing so many boxes, he was too lazy to make people toss, so he directly asked someone to invite the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager came soon.

Warmth has stood up to welcome. When she saw the Empress Dowager coming in, she stood and saluted with a smile: "empress mother is lucky."

The Empress Dowager did not bend her knees to salute. She was very satisfied: "did the portrait come?"

"Well, mother, let's pick some good girls together!"

"Good!"

So all morning, warm and the Empress Dowager looked at the portraits and rosters together.

Each portrait is accompanied by a register.

The roster records the family background of the girl's ancestors for three generations, as well as her interests and specialties.

The Empress Dowager looked at the women of those officials in the capital.

Warm look at the women of local officials and good folk families.

Because the task of warmth is to take the opportunity to find out if we can find the nail that the saint of Southern Xinjiang has placed in Nalan.

On that day, the saints in southern Xinjiang were destroyed, and no one was caught, so no news was found.

Yang Yueer doesn't know much. Her side has been exposed. No one has contacted her again.

But over the years, the saints of Southern Xinjiang have definitely planted many nails in Nalan.

After all, someone became the second princess that day!

There are many things a second prince and concubine can do.

Warmth is thinking about whether we can take the opportunity to dig out these nails to avoid future trouble.

The draft is a good opportunity.

One afternoon, warm and the Empress Dowager carefully selected 150 people.

Among the 150 people, many good family women with more daughters were selected.

After all, we have to choose a group of palace maids.

Even if there are no concubines in such a large Imperial Palace, palace maids need to clean it.

The Empress Dowager also chose the women of those officials according to the preferences of the seven princes.

The Empress Dowager naturally saw the affection of the seventh Prince for Yang Yueer, but life in the palace was too boring.

Let's find something interesting over there!

In this way, we can not only meet the requirements of all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, but also find a daughter-in-law for our grandson. How good!

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

Naturally, some people are happy and others are sad.

The servant girl of Han Shiyu was relieved to see the name of Han Shiyu appear in the front!

It's worth it. She deliberately waited until the last minute. When the people sent by the old master to guard the Yamen left, she ran to sign up.

Fortunately, the people in the Yamen knew that it was Miss Han's granddaughter, so they accepted it.

Han Shiyu was relieved to know that the registration was successful.

She knew her grandfather. His grandfather would never go to the Yamen to say hello and ask people not to sign up for him.

After all, it's about fame.

He would only send someone to guard the Yamen secretly and stop her servant girl to sign up.

So she deliberately showed that she had given up signing up for the draft these days, and then asked the servant girl to sign up quietly.

Now the list has been published. It's done. If you don't participate in the draft for an excuse and are found out, it's disrespect to the emperor! It's teasing the emperor and the court.

After all, the draft is always based on the principle of voluntariness. What is it that you go back on your word instead of teasing the emperor?

Old Han knew that Han Shiyu had signed up and his blood pressure soared.

Han Shoufu and Fang Shi were also very angry.

Han Shoufu said with a headache: "I have a sudden illness when I speak poetry and language to the outside world. I can't participate in the draft!"

They Han's daughter didn't marry the prince, but Zuxun was decided by the emperor Taizu at that time.

Fang sighed: "it's easy to speak to the outside world, but poetry and language obviously don't give up. This kind of thing can't be wrapped up in paper. If it is revealed one day, it will be cheating on the king! Besides, this excuse, isn't it used for the family? Everyone will know what's going on as soon as they hear it! If it is spread, it will be even more detrimental to the reputation of the Han family."

Han Shoufu frowned: "what should I do?"

Fang thought: "what can we do? Naturally, let Shiyu participate. You don't mean that the emperor doesn't want to draft, so he may not be selected. You don't have to worry. Let it be!"

Han Shoufu thought and felt right: "I went to see my father. I don't know what his father's anger looks like."

"Go! Persuade Dad that this is it. Don't be angry."

"Yes."

Han Shoufu went to find Han Lao and found that Han Lao had changed into official clothes and handed the sign into the palace.

Palace

Old Han respectfully saluted Nalan Jinnian: "see the emperor, old minister!"

Nalan Jinnian hurried forward to hold old Han and stopped him from saluting: "Sir, don't be polite!"

"Give me a seat!"

Xiaofuzi hurriedly moved an armchair with a thick cushion on it.

"Please sit down, sir." Nalan Jinnian sat down with Han Lao.

After old Han sat down, Nalan Jinnian returned to the Dragon chair and sat down.

"What's the matter with entering the Palace this time, sir?"

Han Lao sighed: "the old minister taught his granddaughter no way, which made the emperor laugh."

Nalan Jinnian knew that he was about the draft.

He has read the list of beautiful women. Naturally, he knows that a girl in the Han family has signed up.

Nalanjin studied with old Han when she was a child. He also knew the two girls of the Han family.

But I just know that they are the granddaughter of my husband. I don't care much.

Han Lao continued: "I'm not afraid of the emperor's laughter. I have a granddaughter who signed up for the draft. You know the group training of the Han family, but the child insisted on his own way. The old minister missed the observation for a moment and didn't stop it."

"Sir, I'm serious. Sir doesn't want her to be selected?"

As long as he doesn't take her, it's easy to say.

Old Han knew Nalan Jinnian's temperament. They had a deep relationship between teachers and disciples. He didn't beat around the Bush and said directly, "emperor Shengming. The child has a strong competitive heart. He is really not suitable to be a imperial concubine or a royal wife."

If other people, Han Lao didn't dare to go into the palace and say this, but Nalan Jinnian seemed indifferent and had the world in his heart. He was fair and wouldn't care about these little things.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm not going to choose a concubine. This time, the emperor will choose a concubine for Lao Qi. Lao Qi has a heart."

Old Han was relieved when he heard the speech.

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