Reborn as King again

With the mother's will, as a filial son, I will naturally not violate it, so I agreed to let Jia Wanru and Zhou Ling prepare for the draft together. Zhou Ling was more or less unhappy, so I gave him some rewards to let him relax. Heart, tell him, I still have him in my heart.

The selection process was the same as last time. With Jia Wanru in charge, there was no mistake. Three months passed quickly. After the initial selection, re-selection, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a series of investigations, eighty candidates were finally selected. Live temporarily in the outskirts of Beijing.

A few days before the final selection, Jia Wanru pretended to unconsciously mention He Wenliu to me, and she asked me if He Wenliu should attend the final selection.

In fact, He Wenliu shouldn't have come forward in principle. The first two participations in the draft were because of his mother's intentions.

Jia Wanru should have hoped that He Wenliu would attend, because it would add trouble to Zhou Ling, and everyone in the palace knew that He Wenliu and Zhou Ling were at odds.Although on the surface Jia Wanru is respectful to Zhou Ling, in fact, no one would have a good impression of a person who took away the position that belonged to him and took away the custody of his son. It's just that Jia Wanru is different from He Wenliu, even if he hates it, he will never will be written on the face.

As far as I am concerned, after weighing it, I think it would be better for He Wenliu to come out for a walk, just like the purpose of the previous two times, this is a manifestation of consolidating his position in the harem.So I thought for a while, and with a stroke of my pen, I ordered He Wenliu to attend the final election.

On the second day after the imperial decree was issued, Qingluan Hall sent someone to ask for an interview. The eunuch who sent the message asked me how he was, and told me that He Wenliu was not feeling well recently.

He Wenliu's health has not been very good, but after more than half a year of recuperation, he has improved a lot, and his complexion has become rosy. Except that his hands and feet sometimes feel cold, he is almost the same as ordinary people. Even the imperial physician Wang Qing Assure me, as long as He Wenliu pays attention to his health, he will not have any problem living to 70 or [-] years old.

But now He Wenliu suddenly felt unwell, which made me a little worried. I was afraid that his old illness would recur, so I immediately took my entourage to Qingluan Hall to visit him.

But when I entered Qingluan Hall, what I saw was a different scene.It is now the season of May, and the peonies planted in Qingluan Hall are just about to bloom. In the open space in front of the main hall, He Wenliu was seen standing in the center, blindfolded by gauze, stretching out his hands to feel for something, and said with a smile : "Yuner? Where are you, Yuner?"

These days, Yun'er has become a lot more cheerful, and she also likes to play games with He Wenliu or Li Chen and Li Ji.It looks like they are playing now.

"Mother and concubine, here..." Yun'er stood five steps away from He Wenliu and called out to him.He Wenliu followed the sound and touched it, and when he was about to touch it, Yun'er squatted down, slipped under He Wenliu's arm, ran behind him, and said with a smile: "Concubine mother, I found the wrong one, Yun'er is here ..."

Seeing me coming, the internal eunuchs who stood watching me became a little ugly, and hurriedly shouted: "The emperor is here——"

No, as soon as He Wenliu heard this, he immediately stopped the movement of his feet, stood on the spot, took off the gauze covering his eyes, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw me.

Seeing He Wenliu take off the gauze, Yun'er ran to He Wenliu with her mouth pouted and asked, "Concubine Mother, are you done playing?"

"Come on," I said, "Take Yun'er down."

Soon two nuns appeared, took Yun'er's hand and left quickly, and the other inner eunuchs around also stood far away knowingly.

"Concubine Wen, aren't you feeling unwell? I thought you wouldn't be able to get out of bed, but now that you're alive and well, you'll be able to come as the candidate for the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I... I didn't pretend to be sick on purpose, it's just..." He Wenliu probably didn't expect it, but he just sent someone to tell me that he was unwell and couldn't go to the palace election, so I came here in person .

"Just what?" I took He Wenliu's hand, walked to the front and sat down on the stone bench under the elm tree, and naturally hugged him on my lap to weigh him.

"I don't want to go to the hall election." He Wenliu turned his head away and said with some twist.

"If you don't want to go to the palace election, just tell me straight up," I said in a reproachful tone, "you can't pretend to be sick, I will be worried."

"Yes... I'm sorry." He Wenliu lowered his head and said no more.

I sighed. Actually, I wasn't too angry when He Wenliu pretended to be sick. It's better than him being sick again.I stroked the tip of his hair and said, "Then you can tell me why you don't want to go to the palace election?"

He Wenliu glanced at me secretly, seeing that I didn't seem to get angry because of him pretending to be sick, so he calmed down, and said in a very general way: "You also know Wei Chen, Wei Chen is not very good at dealing with such occasions."

"Just walk around, I promise you, I will never make it difficult for you." I am also He Wenliu, every time a newcomer enters the palace, there will always be such and such things. They recognize people, or because of He Wenliu's way of doing things, no one would think that he is a favorite concubine.

"Although I'm fine," He Wenliu still shook his head and said softly, "But I feel very uncomfortable, so I don't want to go."

"What?" Why do you feel uncomfortable?

"A newcomer enters the palace, which indicates that the minister will grow old." He Wenliu tilted his head and leaned on my shoulder, and continued: "It is also reminding the minister all the time that they will replace the minister and will get you. love, these are not what I want to see."

"Since you know that I might change your mind, why don't you do more things that I like? Do you have to pretend to be sick to provoke me?" I stretched out my hand to scratch the bridge of He Wenliu's nose, and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand."

He Wenliu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he confirmed, "Doesn't this minister need to go?"

"You just rely on me to spoil you," I nodded, as if I promised him, "Don't pretend to be sick to lie to me in the future."

"OK."

He Wenliu really worried too much, no one will take his place, no one will.Since he doesn't want to go, then don't go, I won't force him to do something he doesn't like, as long as he is obedient.

On the day of the palace selection outside the Changting Hall, Zhou Ling, Jia Wanru and I selected twenty newcomers to the palace.

The whole process was similar to the past, a bit boring, just pick a few that are pleasing to the eye, until a figure that I feel familiar with from the previous life appeared, I felt somewhat in my heart, he is still here, Concubine Ying.

The person I loved the most in the previous life was Jia Wanru, she was my queen, she was the mother of the world, and she had always had a good relationship with me on the surface.But at that time, I was a foolish monarch, arrogant and extravagant, and there were countless favorite concubines in the harem, and the person I loved the most was Deng Chengying, Concubine Ying.

Although it is the name of his daughter's family, Deng Chengying is an out-and-out man. It is said that he had a serious illness when he was a child and almost didn't survive. The family asked a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that he must choose a girl's name to save his life, and he is a rich man Dagui's life.

The fortune teller was right. Later, Deng Chengying entered the palace for a draft and became a new prince. Immediately afterwards, he was chosen by me and became Shurong. Later, he had a son who was promoted to the position of concubine and became Concubine Ying.

It can be said that Deng Chengying was my favorite concubine in the previous life. He doted on the harem for many years.Deng Chengying gave birth to a son named Li Qi, who looks very similar to me, so Li Qi is my favorite son besides Li Yi.

It is conceivable how miserable the end of Deng Chengying who was so sharp and exposed in her previous life is. Deng Chengying has great ambitions. He threatens Jia Wanru's status all the time. .Later, King Rui kicked me out, and Jia Wanru scratched Deng Chengying's face with a hairpin, and threw her to the lowest-ranked army to act as a military prostitute.My other sons were killed by piercing the heart with a sword, but Li Qi's body was stabbed into a hornet's nest.

But now, Deng Chengying from my previous life is standing in front of me, he is still so young and beautiful.Deng Chengying is the kind of person who looks like a boy and a girl, very enchanting, but has no sense of disobedience, let him enter the palace, presumably the harem will be quite lively.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Wanfu recalled my thoughts to the old me.

I glanced at Deng Chengying, his face was full of confidence and determination, I smiled at him, "Let's stay." Let him follow the old path of his previous life.

After the draft, the rookies who were selected according to the usual practice were arranged to live in the Chuxiu Palace.

Not long after the selection of the optional show, something happened to the rookies, and the person who had the problem was my favorite concubine from the previous life, Deng Chengying.

I was just sitting in the imperial chariot and hadn't returned to Qianlong Palace when I was intercepted by the internal supervisor sent by Zhou Ling, saying that something happened to the newcomer.I asked in detail. It turned out to be Li Ji. He skipped classes mischievously and got into the Changting Hall's draft in a small eunuch uniform. Just now, he quietly set Deng Chengying's hair on fire with a torch, and now the entire Changting Hall is in chaos. Make a ball.

Li Ji loves to play and make trouble, and I'm used to doing outrageous things occasionally, but this time, he played pranks and got on Deng Chengying's head.

I don't need to come forward about this matter, but after thinking about it later, it would be better to go there again, so as not to cause any trouble.

When I returned to the Changting Hall in the imperial chariot, I saw puddles of water stains on the ground. Deng Chengying was kneeling and kneeling on the ground with her whole body soaked, while the other nineteen young masters stood aside silently.

At the same time, I saw another thin figure, He Wenliu.Thinking about it, it is also He Wenliu who wiped his ass for Li Ji's troubles.He Wenliu was not willing to come outside the Changting Hall to meet newcomers before, but now that he has come full circle, he still has to come.
