Concubine Jin was better, but she didn't look like she was smiling, and her spirits were poor.

The queen looked at the faces of the few concubines with different expressions, and couldn't help sighing. There are really few concubines, and all of them are useless. How can the emperor avert his eyes?

Looking at the noble concubine's excellent complexion, she couldn't help thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Now the emperor is in addition to clothes, it's time for a hundred flowers to bloom. I plan to report to the empress dowager and the emperor for the general election next year to fill the harem."

Most of the concubines froze and were very unhappy, because once the newcomer entered the palace, others would have no chance.

But the draft is a rule, it is not easy to change, and no one can say anything.

In the past two years, there were only small elections hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace. Because a group of maids were sent out, and new ones were to be recruited, they all went to serve in the palaces.

The general election every three years is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and women from the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners are selected to fill the harem.

This will be the first general election after Xindi ascended the throne, which is of great significance.

Wu Jingrui smiled, "The empress is still generous, this palace is going to be lively again."

This imperial concubine is really calm, and she can still laugh. Many people slander her.

They don't have the good mentality of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has a pet and a son, but they have nothing. When the newcomer arrives, they have no hope.

The newcomer is about to enter the palace, and some young concubines who are not willing to take advantage of these days to quickly win over the emperor's heart.

Even if you are lucky once, as long as you have the opportunity to fall into the eyes of the emperor, that is a benefit. With a prince, you have the hope of being promoted, and the days to come will be easier.

The conscientious concubine began to put her mind into action, such as bribing the eunuch in the respect room, and putting her green head card in front so that the emperor could see it at a glance.

Niu Hulu nobleman's family's official position is not high, but he has money, and the family sent a lot of money in, so he began to think about the respect room.

That night, the signboard of nobleman Niu Hulu was in a more prominent position, but there was another person who was more conspicuous, and that was Concubine Jin.

In terms of wealth, no one can compare to Concubine Jin who was born in a young family.

The eunuch in the respect room also knows how to watch people order dishes, which one should please, needless to say.

The imperial concubine doesn't need to please her, the rest is that Concubine Jin has the highest status and the best background.

Yongzheng raised his eyes casually, and stopped as soon as he stretched out his hand. The one in the middle was Concubine Jinnian, and next to him was Niu Hulu, a nobleman whom he hadn't seen in days. His sharp eyes swept towards Sun Degui.

Sun Degui shrank his neck.

Su Quan secretly thought that something was wrong, this Sun Degui was really clever but he was mistaken by his cleverness, he knew that the emperor loved concubines the most, yet he dared to do this under the emperor's nose.

Just as he was about to divert the emperor's attention, the emperor flipped a sign over.

Still a concubine.

have to.

Sun Degui didn't dare to play with his mind anymore, and retreated tremblingly.

Su Quan said at the right time: "The older Sun Degui is, the more useless he is. In fact, he can't be blamed. The emperor forgives him this time."

Yongzheng snorted heavily.

Su Quan didn't dare to say more.

In fact, in the eyes of his eunuch, this is a common thing. Aren't concubines competing for favor with those tricks, either deal with favored concubines, or start with the emperor.

It's not really an annoying thing.

But the emperor in front of him is most afraid of his subordinates making their own decisions, so he has to be careful.

Another day of falling apart.

The next day, Wu Jingrui got up late as before, but fortunately, she only needs to pay her respects every five days, that is, the first day of the lunar new year and every fifth and tenth day, so she doesn't have to go to Jingren Palace today.

Gu Xie didn't mean that the queen was considerate of the concubines, but that the queen also needed to rest and couldn't bear to get up early every day, so she set a time to pay her respects.

However, when she heard something, she asked someone to call Sun Degui from the respect room.

Sun Degui groaned inwardly, and slapped Qian Er tremblingly, "Slave Sun Degui greets your master, and your master is safe."

Wu Jingrui sat on the rose chair in front of the steps, smiling kindly, "Thanks to Eunuch Sun, this palace is very safe."

When Sun Degui heard this, he became even more terrified, regretting that he should have offended the imperial concubine just for a small profit.

Thinking about it, he knelt down with a puff, "Damn the slave."

Wu Jingrui hurriedly stopped, "Hey, what are you talking about? Why do you say that word so well? It's no bad luck, I want to reward you."

Sun Degui was dumbfounded, reward him?

Wu Jingrui turned her head to signal Dongyun to hand over a purse of silver.

Sun Degui didn't dare to take it, and was panicked, so he accepted it obediently, and kowtowed, "Thank you, master, for the reward."

This reward is not light, Sun Degui was mixed with worries and joys, feeling as if a stone had fallen in his heart, heavy.

Wu Jingrui smiled, "I reward you because you have done your best, lived up to the emperor's kindness, and thought of the Qing Dynasty."

The more Sun Degui listened, the more disturbed he became. No matter how it sounded, it sounded like irony.

Also, where is this reward?Clearly a warning.

Seeing that he was still afraid, Wu Jingrui continued to speak softly, "In the future, you will continue to do errands like this. Not only the emperor rewards you, but also the palace rewards you. There are only a few women in the palace, and there are even fewer faces. Alas, you It is inevitable that those who serve in front of the emperor will have to worry a lot, it is all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I understand."

"A slave dare not, a slave can't afford to be a slave." Sun Degui hurriedly kowtowed, panicking.

"I've said it all, I don't blame you, don't kowtow, my head hurts. Go back, get the reward, and do your job well. Whatever you do, it doesn't matter if the emperor is happy."

Wu Jingrui waved her hand and ordered him to back down.

Only then did Sun Degui thank you, and resigned.

The last sentence was the most important thing, it was important that the emperor was happy, so Sun Degui naturally didn't dare to provoke the emperor anymore.

Regardless of its benefits, if it offends the emperor, it's all useless.

Wu Jingrui stroked her forehead, "It's normal for Niu Hulu to be like this, and Concubine Jin is also so anxious, it seems that she is panicked."

The word "draft" threw everyone into disarray. The Queen really worked hard.

Before the newcomer enters the palace, he might not be able to live in peace.

But if Concubine Jin and Niu Hulu wanted to have the idea of ​​respecting the office, she couldn't allow it either.

From then on, Sun Degui didn't dare to pay any more bribes to the respect room.

However, it is not wrong to receive the money, and it is not a matter of whether to do things or not.

Yongzheng got the news, but didn't react much. He stayed overnight in Yongshou Palace and pinched her chin, "Aren't you jealous again? Why are you competing with those people? That screwdriver wants to play with his mind, but he can't play with me."

Wu Jingrui snorted, "The concubine naturally understands, it's just that some people don't know how to be interesting, and they are bribed by others. It's not fun for the concubine, and the concubine can't talk about it? What's more, the concubine rewarded him, and he didn't punish him. Encourage him Keep working hard, the emperor must teach people indiscriminately."

Yongzheng laughed, "You're more bluffing than being punished."

"He's timid, he misunderstood." Wu Jingrui didn't care, anyway, she had a good attitude.

The maid came in to take care of the wash, loosened her hair, and changed into underwear, but Wu Jingrui was frightened and pushed him, "I'm tired today, the emperor is more considerate."

Yongzheng naturally knew that no matter how hard it was for her to bear, he agreed to it even though it was hard to bear.
