Chapter 66 Draft
Hongdou babbled and read the script, Ran Yue fell asleep listening to it, Empress Xu listened carefully while observing Ran Yue's movements.

Just when everything was peaceful, there was a shout of "The emperor is here!", and the emperor Fang Yuan came at this time.

Ran Yue opened her drowsy eyes, and there was a flash of sarcasm in her eyes. After Empress Xu had only been here for a long time, the emperor hurried over. Was it because she was afraid that the empress dowager would be ignorant?

"The sons and ministers see the queen mother!" After the emperor came in, he didn't even look at the fidgeting Empress Xu, and directly saluted Ran Yue.

However, Ran Yue seemed to be deaf, her eyes were dazed, a standard smile appeared on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The emperor bent over in embarrassment. Should he continue or stand up straight?
"Nurse Sun, who is coming to visit me, an old woman?" Ran Yue asked deliberately dragging her voice.

Grandma Sun replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here, and he is greeting you."

Ran Yue glanced at the respectful emperor, and said: "Oh, so the emperor is here, please excuse me, my old woman is getting old, she can't see or hear clearly, but I didn't expect the emperor to come here at this time."

Hearing Ran Yue's unsalty words, the emperor bent even lower, and said hastily: "Mother, this is my son's fault. My son will definitely come to pay my respects to my mother more often in the future."

Ran Yue put on a loving mother's face, and said: "That's not necessary, you are the king of a country, you have too many things to worry about, it's good to have the queen and the others to accompany me."

Empress Xu answered, "Your majesty, don't worry, my concubine will definitely accompany my mother. You are busy with state affairs, and my concubine will naturally take care of the matters in the harem."

This couple with the most distinguished status in the Kangyuan Dynasty had a no-nonsense confrontation in front of Ran Yue. Ran Yue was tired of hearing it, so she interrupted them directly, saying: "Emperor, I heard that This time the draft is about to start again?"

The emperor nodded and said: "That's right, queen mother, it is customary to have a draft every three years, and this year is the year of the draft again, and the following has already been prepared. Besides, some older maids in the palace have been released from the palace. A new group of people came in."

Ran Yue waved her hand and interrupted the emperor's words, she said: "The Ai family has been in the palace for many years, so of course they know about the draft. Unexpectedly, three years have passed in a blink of an eye. The Ai family still remembers that Concubine Wen Gui was born three years ago. He must have been selected into the palace in that draft."

When the emperor heard Ran Yue mentioning Concubine Wen, his disgust towards Empress Xu increased a little. Now he believed that it was Empress Xu who came to the queen mother and said some words of discord, otherwise the queen mother would not have specifically mentioned Concubine Wen at all. , and will not come to beat him specially.It has to be said that although he has been on the throne for more than ten years and has cultivated an imperial demeanor, in front of this old woman, he still seems to be the little prince who has no sense of existence.

The overcompensated emperor replied: "Yes, your mother, you remember right, Concubine Wen Guifei entered the palace three years ago."

Ran Yue didn't mention anything about Concubine Wen, and quickly changed the subject, and said with a smile: "It's been three years, and newcomers are going to enter the palace again, but that's fine, when the time comes, I'll choose a few smart and smart people to come to my palace." Come on, just to share the errands of Hongdou and the others, these little girls are hoarse when they read to me from the Chinese script these days."

"Uh, empress, my son immediately asked some people with good voices and cleverness to serve in your palace. Empress, how do you take care of the harem? Why are you short of servants here?" the emperor flattered Looking at Ran Yue, he took the opportunity to scold Empress Xu.

"Okay!" Ran Yue knocked the tea cup in her hand on the table gently, "The Ai family knows how well the queen did. After all, this is the place where the old woman from the Ai family died!"

Zhou Wanqiu had her own aura of "peerless majesty", so Ran Yue's reprimand had an obvious effect. The emperor and empress pleaded guilty one after another, which made Ran Yue feel secretly refreshed. The two of them left.

Although Empress Xu did not regain the power of the draft, she was still very happy to see the emperor being reprimanded because of Concubine Wen.

The emperor was also dissatisfied with Empress Xu because of being beaten by Ran Yue. As for the perpetrator, Ran Yue, he was not dissatisfied.

The draft came as scheduled three months later. Many people who wanted to see Concubine Wen's jokes made a mistake. The emperor had sent people to help Concubine Wen take care of all the rules. Many people in the palace turned into lemon spirits and tore them apart. The scarf was missing and many vases were smashed.

In this draft, quite a few people put their daughters in. The miracle of Concubine Wen's soaring into the sky three years ago made many girls look forward to it a little more, maybe they could become a concubine themselves.

Perhaps because of Concubine Wen Gui, the emperor did not accept many concubines into the palace, but only symbolically selected three or five girls with good family background and both talent and appearance to fill the harem.

The number of people in the small election is basically the same as the number of previous small elections. Regardless of their previous status, these girls who have passed the small election have now become honorable maids, waiting for distribution in the palace, or being assigned to each other. The palace went to serve the master, or was assigned to various bureaus to learn skills.

In Ran Yue's place, apart from Liang Donghai, the number one confidant of the emperor before, who personally sent four court ladies who were good-looking and able to read and write, there were four more young maids who were only selected into the palace this time.

For some ambitious maids, it is not a bad thing to be assigned to the Empress Dowager's Palace. After all, the emperor is said to be very filial, and would come to the Empress Dowager's place every day to pay her respects. These maids who serve the Empress Dowager have a high chance of meeting the Emperor .Moreover, the queen mother is old, and she usually likes to burn incense and worship Buddha. The risk level of the queen mother is much lower than that of serving concubines.

For unambitious court ladies, the Empress Dowager's place is also a good place to retire. Most of the elderly are kind-hearted. As long as they live in peace, there is still a high chance that they will survive to leave the palace safely.

Ran Yue pretended to look at the new maid sent by Liang Donghai, but actually activated the scanning function.As boring as she has already scanned all the people she has met, the emperor and empress all have their own skills, as for those ordinary concubines, there are not many skills, and they are all skills of the Gongdou system, which is not interesting.

Originally, Ran Yue just scanned it casually, but in the end a court lady gave her a great surprise——Daughter of Destiny, so she is the real heroine of this world?

 Thanks to book friend Yin Zhuqian for the reward.
