The next day.
After the morning session is the draft.
Xie Qingyi had been waiting at the gate of Chengqian Palace early in the morning, and when she saw Wei Yanzhou, she rushed up to him.
"Your Majesty, the charter has been arranged, and the sisters have all arrived. These ten carefully selected ones are all of good moral character. It depends on Your Majesty's decision."
For her own selfish reasons, she selected only ten people without authorization.
In order not to make it too obvious, there are both daughters of aristocratic families and pure ministers.
There is also the deviant Gao Xinyi who is said to be unruly.
However, even if Chun Chen's daughter is selected, she still has flaws of one kind or another.
Either she looks short in a group of people, or she doesn't look beautiful enough in a group of people.
In short, if there was a beauty pageant, Wei Yanzhou would definitely not choose those few.
——It doesn’t matter if you choose them. They are all people with low-level positions in the family. They will be easy to handle when they enter the harem in the future.
Wei Yanzhou hummed, not sure if he was listening.
Suddenly someone caught up behind him and stopped him.
Gongsun Li took the Tao memorial, saluted Xie Qingyi, and looked at Wei Yanzhou: "Your Majesty, just now I still have doubts about this matter."
She has always been serious in speech, and always has a businesslike tone when speaking and doing things.
Less than a month after taking office, his thunderous methods have shocked both the government and the opposition.
Xie Qingyi was naturally very dissatisfied when her words were interrupted.
Moreover, Gongsun Li was brought up by Wei Yanzhou, and I heard that he was somewhat related to Cheng Ning.
She was even more dissatisfied.
"Master Gongsun is so dedicated. He won't let His Majesty take a breath even after the court."
Gongsun Li just glanced at her lightly and did not answer.
I just don't want to cause trouble.
In Xie Qingyi's eyes, this action showed disdain for her.
Sure enough, it was Cheng Ning who was brought up as a loser, even his personality was similar to hers!
Wei Yanzhou had already received Gongsun Li's memorial and glanced at it with lowered eyes.
Then he explained the matter in a low voice, which was both a method and an opinion.
This decisive and decisive side made Xie Qingyi secretly fall in love with him, and he forgot about the trouble of birth.
After hearing this, Gongsun Li nodded lightly: "I understand."
After she received the memorial, she was about to leave.
Wei Yanzhou spoke first: "Today's draft, you and Concubine Xi haven't spoken for a long time. She will come over soon, and you will come with her."
He knew that Cheng Ning was upset in the palace.
According to Wang Xi's report, either Ouyang Xi or the two remaining concubines in Linhua Palace went there, or they went together.
We sat together drinking tea and eating cakes all day long, talking about all the troubles in the palace and home.
Cheng Ning must be very annoyed, she never likes this.
Asking her to come to the talent show was just a whim.
Even he found it boring in this kind of situation, so how could he
But Gongsun Li is different. This person also doesn't like the family's shortcomings. He should be able to chat with Cheng Ning about the scenery of the county.
He is willing to indulge.
But Xie Qingyi's expression obviously turned ugly in an instant.
Your Majesty, your Majesty cannot do anything without Cheng Ning?
She couldn't help but have more doubts.
In the past, even if His Majesty was partial to Linhua Palace, it was never so obvious.
But lately, have you gone too far?
Even though Gongsun Li was a woman, he was an important minister in the former dynasty, so he allowed her to befriend Cheng Ning?
Xie Qingyi gave a not-so-pretty smile: "Your Majesty is really considerate. If I were stingy, I would be jealous."
"Why are you jealous? You worked hard on this errand. I will also reward you when it is over."
Wei Yanzhou's tone was casual, as if he was just in a good mood today, so he was extra merciful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Qingyi immediately became happy: "It is my honor to be able to share your Majesty's worries. How dare I ask for a reward!"
Only Gongsun Li stepped aside and she did not speak.
She just did whatever Wei Yanzhou ordered.
The draft venue was held in Chuxiu Palace.
The beautiful ladies have lived in the palace for some time, receiving examinations and instruction.
Seeing a man dressed in bright yellow walking through the door, they all knelt down and saluted in surprise and fear.
"Welcome your Majesty! May your Majesty be safe!"
It was the first time for the beautiful ladies to meet the saint. Wei Yanzhou's thunderous methods had been used in the past six months, so they were naturally afraid.
Regardless of the rules or the pressure of the bright yellow figure, he didn't dare to raise his head.
In order to show off her honor in coordinating this matter, Xie Qingyi deliberately made some noises: "Your Majesty, please move to the chair?"
The show ladies all hurriedly shouted: "Concubine Hui, Jin An!"
Xie Qingyi was satisfied and helped Wei Yanzhou sit down. Her chair was just a little below Wei Yanzhou's, and she sat down immediately.
Gongsun Li took advantage of the situation and stood behind him, and the figure of the girl in official uniform was silhouetted.
"Get up." Wei Yanzhou took a sip of tea and asked Wang Xi, "Where is she?"
He didn't even look at those beautiful girls.
Needless to say the name and title, the people above all knew who he was talking about.
Wang Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "I've always been by your side, but I didn't know."
But he could only say: "Maybe it's been delayed. I'll ask someone to hurry up."
"It's annoying," Wei Yanzhou sneered, "Stop urging me, otherwise I'll panic and make mistakes again."
Although the beautiful ladies below did not dare to raise their heads, they all looked at each other.
There was clear doubt in his eyes.
Wei Yanzhou's words were not loud, but to the ears, one could hear that he was conniving.
Who?
The favored Concubine Hui is here.
Could it be Concubine Shu?
It is extremely possible that Concubine Shu is from a good family background and is the only daughter of the Minister of Punishment. I heard that she and His Majesty get along very well.
That's why you were called here to watch the show, right?
Although they dare not speak, everyone thinks so in their hearts.
Wei Yanzhou didn't say anything, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites beside him were so stunned that they didn't dare to say anything.
Are you still waiting for someone?
I haven't heard of anyone else coming.
Only Xie Qingyi's face turned ugly. She had spent so much time choosing concubines for the man she liked.
But in the end he didn't seem to care at all.
Xie Qingyi even wondered if Wei Yanzhou hadn't wanted to agree to this draft if it weren't for the pressure from the court officials.
In order to make more connections for the Xie family, she completely offended Chun Chen during this draft.
Many of those who lost the election held real power.
And she couldn't give a completely fair reason.
She tried her best to ask calmly: "Is there anyone else coming? Your Majesty didn't notify me at first, and I didn't arrange enough for you."
Wang Xi was all-faced and said: "Your Majesty is already worried about trivial matters and doesn't dare to bother, so I ordered someone to make preparations."
As soon as he finished speaking, palace servants entered the room carrying tables and chairs. The chairs were covered with thick cushions, as if they were afraid of freezing people.
Xie Qingyi almost knocked out the sawdust from her armchair!
"Gongsun Aiqing, don't stand still, go and sit down." Wei Yanzhou ordered quietly, and Yu Guangli finally saw someone outside the courtyard.
Cheng Ning was wearing a light dark-colored waist-length undershirt today, with a long belt that made her walk in the wind.
She was also carrying a round fan in her hand.
Gongsun Li was about to sit down and then stood up: "Concubine Xi, Jin An."
Cheng Ning, who originally thought that coming here was boring, so he went out late on purpose, saw her, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and smiled: "Master Gongsun."
This smile is really beautiful.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Cheng Ning saluted and sat down, holding the fan in his hand: "How many have been selected?"
Wei Yanzhou looked away from the smile on her lips and said, "Wang Xi, grab her fan!"
