During the days when Li Ying was sleeping in the Yanfu Hall, Ji Zheng stayed in the Imperial Study every day, reading all the treasured story books and picture albums of the original owner.

But after Dongyue, his happy days were gone forever.All the families of nobles and nobles all over the world know that the selection of concubines by the emperor is about to happen, and every memorial has to mention a noble lady in the clan, either in a subtle or open manner, and all kinds of portraits of noble ladies come flying like snowflakes The imperial study room flooded his desk.

Naturally, ancient portrait techniques don't need those selfies of the contemporary era, with one curved slender willow-leaf eyebrows and two affectionate red phoenix eyes, Ji Zheng stared at it for a long time, unable to tell who the sisters are.

But no matter how unscrupulous he is, he also knows that behind the election of the concubine is the political ups and downs. Any choice may change the next direction of politics. If another accidentally chooses the right person, the emperor may not be so easy to step down.

Terrible, this is not okay.

In the original book, there are many beauties in the harem of Xiaosheng, but Li Ying is the only one who has a name, which means that he will never be able to choose any powerful role through this concubine selection.

Next to each portrait of a noble lady is a brief introduction to her family background and status, but Ji Zheng, who only reads the love stories of the protagonists in books, has no influence on these characters at all.

The window was blown open suddenly with a bang, and the cold wind that rolled the dead leaves floated into the charcoal brazier in the fire pit inside the house, and the flames crackled and fluttered for a while.

It's cold, and it's almost time for snow.

Ji Zheng looked through the window and saw Ming Ciyue standing upright with his sword in hand.

At some point, the emperor's palace guards seemed to have quietly changed a group of people, and Ji Zheng found that the only person he could call Mingciyue was Ming Ciyue.

He thought about it, and decided to make the best use of everything, "The words are more clear."

The first thing Ming Ci Yue did when he came in was to close the window for him and fill the fire with charcoal, and then he went to salute before the case.

Ji Zheng asked him to help choose the portraits, Mingci Yuefu raised his eyes, and immediately lowered his head, "The noble daughters who are candidates for the concubine, these portraits should not be offensive to outsiders."

"Just let you see it." The emperor said impatiently, "I don't understand anyone, and I don't like anyone. If you don't want to choose, then I can only choose His Royal Highness King Jing to enter the palace to accompany the noble concubine Ying. "

Ming Ci became more distressed, so he couldn't get close to him, so he placed a few photos at random, "Xuan Qian, the eldest daughter of General Xuan's family, is well-educated, and Lin Xiangxiang, the niece of Zhang Guoxiang's family, is kind and sweet."

At the end, Ming Ci lowered his voice, "Brother Xuanqian stationed in southern Xinjiang has made great achievements in appeasing the refugees recently. This year, the drought in the north is severe. The canal transportation in charge of Zhang Guoxiang transported a lot of grain from Jiangnan, and Lin Xiangxiang's father is a grain and rice cloth in Jiangnan. Satin Merchant."

Ji Zheng crossed the two portraits without looking at them.Mingci cast a puzzled look.

As the protagonist, Ming Ciyue understands the situation, and based on his temperament, he will definitely make the best choice for the Holy Majesty that will help appease the hearts of the ministers and stabilize the throne. Ji Zheng just needs to follow his advice and oppose the election.

But if you take a closer look, you can see that Xuan Qian and Lin Xiangxiang's paintings are so fresh and refined. They both have broad shoulders and long arms, and they can hold a bow to Changyue's generation. It can be seen that the painter is trying his best to correct their beauty.

Ji Zheng looked up at Ming Ci's earnest words, with a serious and humble expression on his face, paused, and said sharply, "You deliberately chose some powerful ones for me, and restrained me, so that I wouldn't trouble you. ?" He pushed the two paintings casually, and pointed at one of them, "See, I like beautiful women, that's what I want."

The exposed one, the small script on the upper left corner, is the second daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, Gu Congque.

Mingci became more and more hesitant to speak, and then stopped, stepped back a few steps and stopped talking.

The Palace of Compassionate Ning sent a portrait of the noble lady, Ji Zheng returned it with a cross, and the Palace of Compassionate Ning sent the sachet of the noble lady, and Ji Zheng distributed it to the guards below... Just when Ji Zheng thought that he had exhausted the patience of the Palace of Compassion, and finally could While living a peaceful life of salted fish, the days have also come to the winter solstice at the end of the winter month.

The winter solstice day in Yan State is traditionally a day for the whole country to have a holiday, hold palace banquets, and enjoy joy among the monarchs, ministers and common people.

The eve of this day is also a day for family reunion as usual. As soon as Ji Zheng came out of the palace gate, he saw a row of women with strange faces walking past him, with low eyebrows, submissive, and pleasant appearance, walking along the palace wall to the palace gate. The direction is drifting away.

Ji Zheng looked at it strangely, and Li Ruhai explained that it was the unfavored concubine he let back home a while ago, and that the Winter Solstice Sunrise Palace can be reunited with his family.

Ji Zheng nodded, thinking that the girls were poorly dressed, and the company had to share something for the New Year, "Call them, and give them all the hairpins and jade pendants of the women in the palace."

Li Ruhai muttered: "My lord, it's still useful..."

Ji Zheng raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows: "What's the use, I don't need it!" There will be no concubines in the palace in the future, and they can't all be taken advantage of by women's clothing bosses.

It just so happened that the palace maid told him that the noble concubine Ying had prepared a family banquet, thinking that if the emperor did not return for half a month, the concubine would come to the imperial study with food.

Ji Zheng nodded and promised to let the maid go back to deliver the message, then turned around and asked the waiter to hold the lantern, wrapped in a slightly thick festive velvet robe, and aimed at the Palace of Compassion and Ning in the opposite direction.

"Your Majesty." A silent phantom appeared behind him, and took the lantern from his hand, "I will escort you."

Ji Zheng looked back at Ming Ciyue, taking him there was like sending a weak sheep into the mouth of the Empress Dowager.

He snatched the lantern by himself, "Why should I bring a useless one, and plan to protect me like last time?" Ji Zheng waved his hand, "It's a big holiday, send the useless person home to have a meal with his family."

Mingci has no relatives anymore.

The only thing that can be counted is the "uncle emperor" who is not related by blood.

It was too late when Ji Zheng realized it, he didn't dare to look directly at Ming Ciyue's face, and fled in a panic, "I don't need you, I will go back tonight."

"Aifei..."

As soon as the emperor entered the palace, his face collapsed. The one who sat on the head was his beloved imperial grandmother. Li Ying was also dressed in red gauze in winter, and he patted the side of his head in a dignified manner, "Imperial grandmother's body I'm sick, let my concubine preside over the family banquet on my behalf, and I hope the Holy Majesty will be satisfied."

This is not a family banquet, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a Hongmen banquet.

The whole house seemed to have overturned the makeup shops in the whole capital.

Sitting in the two rows of small tables at the bottom are all the noble ladies from all over the capital, either covering their veils or holding their fans.They had never seen any foreign men before, and all of them turned pale and trembled violently at this moment, they could not accept the violent little emperor's face-to-face selection of concubines in this way.

If possible, Ji Zheng could shake harder than them.

However, he was angry at this moment, entered the hall with his head held high, sat down next to Li Ying, gritted his teeth, "Why does my concubine have to work so hard during pregnancy?"

Li Ying said indifferently: "But I hope the Holy Majesty will like it. Every noble lady and concubine who the Holy Majesty crossed out has decided to invite it for the Holy Majesty."

Ji Zheng looked sideways: "The noble concubine Ying is too thin, how can this pregnancy be so smooth even after so many months?" He intentionally tilted his head and listened, "The man from Ximo is really powerful. , can you really give birth, I don't believe it."

Li Ying laughed and said: "The Holy Majesty wants a child, so the concubine will find a child for the Majesty. If the Holy Majesty does not want to marry a concubine, he can just favor the concubine alone, and let the concubine be the target of the beautiful woman and the trouble in the harem. Courtiers and concubines rely on holy favor and tolerate others, so naturally they should be criticized by the people of the world."

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "My concubine is worrying too much. If she removes her beauty, the disaster will be almost the same."

The girls who were in their [-]s and [-]s had already quietly raised their heads, blushing and watching the two of them biting their ears, like a couple of the emperor's family with deep affection.

"Xuanqian, the little girl of the Xuanfu, is good at dancing swords, and is willing to join the fun of the imperial concubine and the emperor's banquet."

Before Ji Zheng could speak, Li Ying raised his voice to answer.

The person who came out was Xuanqian who bowed her bow in the portrait that day, a woman without a dog in the door, Xuanqian just came down from the racetrack in the daytime, dressed in a fleece jacket, she was unceremonious, stepped forward and cupped her hands, "You can't bring anything to the banquet." sword, but the little girl would like to use the lace as a sword."

After finishing speaking, before Ji Zheng could stop her, she really pulled the belt from her waist and threw it out.The noble ladies exclaimed, and saw that under the woman's outer robe was a set of capable men's black clothes, she was really rebellious.

Xuan Qian is so handsome, with high ponytail, sword eyebrows and star eyes, she has the heroic spirit of a heroine.

Ji Zheng knocked on the melon seeds, just about to cheer a few times, when he saw the soft belt as a hard sword, approaching Ji Zheng's eyes in the blink of an eye, making him break out in a cold sweat, and the melon seeds spilled on the ground, but it was clearly just The usual soft belt, even the guards have no reason to stop it.

Li Ying smiled and clapped his hands in agreement.

No, let Li Ying play tricks again, and the true face of the emperor will be exposed at the banquet.

Ji Zheng tried to divert everyone's attention, and turned to face Li Ying: "You really regard me as your husband, your king?"

Li Ying nodded: "Almost."

"That's good." Ji Zheng slapped the desk, "The imperial concubine Ying is pregnant with a dragon child but shows up in public every day. She is overworked and doesn't know how to take care of her body, so she is punished with house arrest on Fengqi Terrace and served with delicious food until the little prince is born. "Fengqi Terrace is the palace of the empresses of all dynasties, and it can be regarded as giving Li Ying enough face, so that this person has no words to refute.

Ji Zheng felt secretly refreshed and wanted to do this a long time ago.

All the maids and attendants surrounded the general, surrounded Ying Guifei, and politely invited her to step out of the hall.

Li Ying gave the waiter a hard look, then turned around and gave Ji Zheng a sinister smile.

Now he is the only man left in the hall to guard a bunch of innocent and beautiful sisters.

How can Ji Zheng bear it? He has no intention of being a royal reproductive machine, and according to the temperament of the empress dowager, the day the prince is born is the time when he starts to lose value.

Without even thinking about it, he went out of the hall directly, but was immediately stopped by the attendants of the Empress Dowager at the gate of the hall, "Forgive me, the Empress Dowager said that if you don't bring your daughter with you, you must not let him out of the hall. Please forgive his painstaking efforts."

"Bringing your daughter?" Ji Zheng sneered, and turned his head, "All the girls obey the order, and follow me to drive in the back garden to continue the banquet."

The back garden of the Palace of Compassion and Peace has beautiful scenery, but a group of noble ladies shivered in the cold wind, stopped in the darkness, and looked helplessly at Ji Zheng. They were even more terrifying and difficult than the guards.

Ji Zheng can't escape without getting rid of this dense network of people.

"That's it." Ji Zheng had a plan in mind, "You are all good daughters from the noble family. For the sake of fairness in choosing concubines, I cover my eyes and give you a little time to hide. Those who are found by me will be excluded. The one who gets the best is the witty and sensitive daughter, who is my destiny."

Ji Zheng thought they would quickly disperse, but when the girls heard this, they looked at each other and stopped where they were.

"Sister, you go hide first, my sister is clumsy and unfit to be a concubine in the palace."

"No, I've already found a hiding place for my sister, so please invite me first."

Ji Zheng: ...

He understood it, and changed his words again, "The one I caught first was the one who was my good match."

When all the girls heard the words this time, they all looked terrified, and their footsteps stomped away. After a while, there was only a small cold wind in front of Ji Zheng's eyes, carrying dead leaves and curling, passing by.

"Have you hidden it? I'm going to start arresting people." Ji Zheng called casually, and immediately turned around and walked around the rockery in the back garden, stepping under the most conspicuous corridor.

The main entrance of the back garden of the Compassion Palace is still guarded by guards. If you want to escape, you have to walk through the corridor, enter the back hall and leave through the back door of the sleeping hall.

Against the backdrop of the swaying tree shadows, the depths of the corridor are dark, without the moonlight, it gets darker and darker as you walk.

Only a light was suddenly lit in the deepest part of the place, and it continued to flutter in the deep night.

Ji Zheng froze in his tracks, no way, someone really took a fancy to the Violent Little Emperor, and still waited for him to catch him with a lantern so brightly?

He mentioned the rules casually without thinking about it at all. If there is a woman who is willing to be the one who is destined to be the one, it is not to make him blush.

Looking at the figure, it was thin and tall, but with a bee waist and a monkey back, and broad shoulders, which happened to block his escape route tightly.

Among all the women in the audience, Ji Zheng can only think of one person who is worthy of the title, Xuan Qian.

Ji Zheng walked over bravely, pretending to be greedy and violent, trying to make the girl retreat.He said with a sinister smile, "I've had a hard time looking for it, but Xuanqian is here waiting for me."

The red oiled paper lantern slowly turned its direction.

"Xuanqian has been waiting here for a long time, what is the benefactor looking for Xuanqian?"

Ji Zheng could see clearly, the smile froze on his face, why Xuan Qian's flowing long hair disappeared.

The author has something to say:

Let me justify my few supporting actresses who are really... women.
