Chapter 193: Competition for Favor among Beauties (1)
"How many days do we have left to enter Beijing?"
"Every county from near to far will arrive within half a month, but...Wei Ran, Shou County, etc. all have boys selected, and a cousin of King Shou is also among the candidates. ”
"Gu said, regardless of background or origin, who is responsible for the palace selection according to the convention?"
Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites said slightly uncomfortably: "Well... it was supposed to be Shaofu Xie, the chief eunuch, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but... Shaofu Xie... he also participated in the draft, so now only the chief eunuch and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are left. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will serve. If His Majesty wishes, he can appoint another person."
The various rebellious behaviors of the Xie family in the past were seen by everyone in the court. None of them knew that the Xie family had ambitions, but now the Xie family did something shocking.
They actually sent their most promising and promising heir, Xie Yujin, to participate in the harem draft...
The Xie family is at its peak. Even if Emperor Yue is a different person, he won't beg for mercy with his tail between his legs, let alone sacrifice himself like this, right?
General Huo turned his face and glanced sharply at the official of the Ministry of Etiquette. After listening to his statement quietly, he lowered his eyelashes and pursed his lips into a straight line.
Emperor Yue raised his eyebrows: "Xie Yujin also participated in the draft?"
"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't know?" The Minister of Rites looked surprised.
"Swipe him down and let him continue to serve as the examiner for the palace election."
Emperor Yue's words shocked everyone. All the officials in the court were stunned by her decisive veto attitude and did not understand why she made such a decision.
Let's say she was dissatisfied with Mr. Xie. She also asked Mr. Xie to select men for her to fill her harem, which shows her trust.
To say that she was satisfied, but... the lovely young master Xie came to her door, but she was not moved at all, and directly passed him to the audition. Isn't this a slap in the face of young master Xie?
"Your Majesty, this..."
"I will only say what I said once, and pass on the order."
Emperor Yue stood up. The bright yellow dragon robe was illuminated by the sun, and the golden light shone. The golden dragon embroidered on the dragon robe seemed to want to take off as she moved. She stepped off the dragon chair, and the eunuch shouted: "Retreat from the court——" < br>
All the courtiers bowed in order and withdrew like a tsunami: "Long live my emperor!"
——
After going down to court, a paper crane flew over. Xu Shanshan waved, and it gently landed in her hand.
"Hoo", the green flame burned, reflecting a scene.
"I heard that Mr. Hong was severely punished by His Majesty recently because he was involved in a lawsuit against an evil master. It is difficult for him to win the holy favor again. I am bold and want to beg you to cooperate with me."
A handsome man wearing a green cloak was kneeling and speaking. The clear rainwater dripped from the eaves and hit his thin back. He was like a trapped animal trapped in the mire, and his body was unbearable.
"Why do you think I will cooperate with you?"
The middle-aged man in luxurious robes has a big belly and gray eyebrows. He looks at the man with eyes full of scrutiny and contempt.
The man raised his head slightly, and under the brim of his hat with a rabbit fur trim, he half-hidden and half-revealed an extremely handsome face, with a straight nose, lips like cherry blossoms, and a slight smile on the slightly raised corner of his mouth, which was gentle and charming.
"Don't you, Mr. Hongda, lack an opportunity to become a close minister of His Majesty? If a commoner can enter the palace and be lucky enough to receive His Majesty's favor, he will definitely not forget His Majesty's great kindness."
The green flame was still burning. The two people in the picture were talking happily, as if they had reached a contract. Xu Shanshan stopped looking at it. She extinguished the flame with a snap of her fingers.
"He's quite smart."
I don't know if this is a compliment or a derogatory comment.
"You all should step back first and walk alone."
The guards and eunuchs responded in short stature. "Here."
Xu Shanshan walked alone in the imperial garden. The palace people did not dare to get too close. They only formed a wall to prevent anyone from approaching at will.
Maomao appeared and flew around Xu Shanshan: "Shan, why do you care so much about that Nangong Yu and even put a tracking charm on him?"
"Nangong Yu is one of Xu Shanshan's evil obstacles, but with the passing of the real Xu Shanshan, most of her evil obstacles in the world have been eliminated. My body does not have as many obstacles as before, but now, I am involved with him. .”
"Then when did you get involved with Nangong Yu?"
"When I intervened in his life and death and changed his destiny, cause and effect began to exist."
"You bear the cause, but he bears the effect, so the mountain doesn't have to worry about it."
Xu Shanshan looked at a pot of camellias. Some early-flowering varieties may not have begun to show their flower buds in February, but they have already quietly bloomed beautifully.
"Maomao, there are many little people in this world. They may seem inconspicuous at first, but if you can give them a chance, how can you know that they can't completely change and have the ability to change everything?"
Maomao heard what Xu Shanshan was referring to and suddenly said: "Shan, have you already figured out that this Nangong Yu is different? What is so different about him?"
Xu Shanshan smiled softly: "What's different? Now that the man is here, he is still working very hard to climb up. As for what height he can reach, let's take a look together."
Maomao wanted to say something else, but it sensed something and suddenly turned its head: "Shan, someone is here... It's the debt collector from the Xie family!"
Sure enough, Tingwei came forward to report that it was Mr. Xie who asked to see him, and Xu Shanshan guessed his purpose.
"Xie Yujin——"
"Xie Xuan——"
"See Your Majesty."
Xu Shanshan turned around and saw Xie Yujin, who was not wearing official uniforms, and his cousin Xie Xuan, both kneeling on the ground.
"Xie Shaofu came to see Gu at this time. What do you mean?" she asked knowingly.
She didn't ask them to get up, and Xie Yujin kept kneeling on the ground. Although he didn't act impatient or impatient, his tone was unavoidable with emotion: "Your Majesty, why...do you not allow Yu Jin to participate in the male talent show?"
Xu Shanshan glanced at him, and the two reunited in the court hall. One became Emperor Yue, and the other continued to be Taifu Xie as if nothing had happened. It seemed that all the past grudges and disputes between them had been wiped away.
"Young master Xie has great talent, and moving into the harem means that he cannot interfere in state affairs in the future. It is really a waste."
"It is true that the concubines of Jingguo are not allowed to interfere in politics, but..." Xie Yujin's eyes were burning, and under those gentle and twinkling eyes, there was a wolfish nature: "The empress of Jingguo can assist His Majesty, and has certain abilities. ”
"Does Mr. Xie want to be the emperor?"
"Is there anyone in the world today who is more suitable than Chen?" Xie Yujin no longer concealed his true thoughts.
Now that she is no longer a great master, there is no longer any ethics between them, such as the ethics of master and disciple, and the rules and principles of non-marriage between alchemists and the secular world.
She is Emperor Yue, and he is the young master.
She is the king and he is the minister.
Since it can already be a relationship between king and minister, why can't we get closer and become a relationship where the emperor and the empress sleep together?
