Eunuch Sheng turned around and gave him a gesture of "stop here".

As soon as he walked out of Jiangxue Pavilion, Xiao Yu said, "Call Chunnan Hou to see me immediately, and send someone to stare at Qin."

Eunuch Sheng said righteously: "Sister is going."

——

In Cining Palace, fragrance filled the air.

Empress Dowager Chu couldn't help frowning when she looked at the final list of girls.

He Yuru, the daughter of He Chengmao, the Minister of Revenue, was named Shuyi as the fifth rank.

Xu Lanzhi, the daughter of Xu Bowei, the left censor of the Censorate, was named Shuyi as the fifth-ranked Shuyi.

The daughter of Qin Wang, the Grand Historian, was named a sixth-rank beauty.

Who would have thought that after half a year, there were only three people entering the palace for more than 5,000 talent shows.

The Empress Dowager Chu could probably guess the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor wanted to promote water conservancy and benefit the people, but the Minister of Revenue He Chengmao relied on the He family's great power and refused to take money. The Mu family actively cooperated, and the Ministry of Works followed inaction. The aristocratic family tried to compete with the imperial power. He Yuru and Mu Wanqi only chose one of them, which was expected.

Xu Lanzhi was different from He Yuru. Xu Bowei, the left censor of the Censorate, was promoted by the emperor himself. The Xu family is precious and talented. If you guess correctly, the emperor wants to support the Xu family.

But this daughter of Qin Taishi...

She has never heard of it.

Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Zhang bowed to Empress Dowager Chu's ear and whispered a few times.

"Similar? How similar can it be?" Empress Dowager Chu said disdainfully.

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "I heard that after His Majesty met this beautiful Qin yesterday, he went back to the Yangxin Palace directly. At that time, there was still a beautiful girl to be selected in front of Jiangxue Pavilion. "

Queen Mother Chu fell into silence.

However, after thinking about it, I just thought it was just an exaggeration for others, and said that it was just a matter of the same.

"Qin Mahjong, 16 years old, his ancestral home moved to An An." Empress Dowager Chu looked at Qin Mahjong's list and pinched Buddhist beads and said, "Since the Hanlin Academy has been promoted, this position of Taishi is almost ineffective in our dynasty. Who will be behind the position of a fifth-rank false position?"

Eunuch Zhang said justice: "What the Empress Dowager meant is that someone who deliberately sent Meiren to the palace?

Queen Mother Chu said: "How can there be such a coincidence in this harem? It is not certain whether it is the Qin family's daughter."

Eunuch Zhang said justice: "Do you want a slave to check it out?"

Empress Dowager Chu raised her hand and said, "No need. Since the emperor keeps her, she has the intention to keep her. Besides, since he is determined to defend the Ai family, why should the Ai family be so uncomfortable? In this election, there are many people who can't sit still in the harem."

Eunuch Zhang suddenly realized: "The Empress Dowager is wise."

Empress Dowager Chu closed the list and said, "After that day, the emperor had not entered the harem for three years. Now this beautiful Qin is here again. It's interesting. Let's watch the fun first."

——

Three days after the draft ends, all the selected girls will move out of Chuxiu Palace.

The eunuch Wang Fusheng, the chief eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, led Qin Wu to Shuyu Garden, the partial palace of Jingren Palace.

"This is Shuyuyuan." Eunuch Wang narrowed his eyes and pointed to the two palace maids behind him and said, "These two names are Zhulan and Zhuxin, which are the first-class female history assigned to beauties by Shanggong Bureau."

After saying that, Eunuch Wang pointed to the two eunuchs beside him, "These two names are Tong Kang and Tong Wen, who are first-class eunuchs assigned by the Sili Supervisor. The remaining second-class palace maids and second-class eunuchs will have to wait for a few more days."

"Thank you, my father-in-law." Qin Wu nodded and stuffed a purse into the eunuch's hands.

There are beads in the purse.

Eunuch Wang's eyes turned, and when he thought of a business elder brother behind Meiren, he couldn't help but smile a little more.

Eunuch Wang took out a list from his sleeve and said, "This is a variety of examples in the Beauty Palace. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been promoting the deprecation of extravagance and frugality. I hope the Beauty will keep it in mind."

Qin Xiong smiled and took the opportunity to say, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."

Eunuch Wang replied: "This is what a slave deserves."

After Eunuch Wang left, Qin Wu walked into Shuyuyuan.

As soon as he pushed the door, Qin Wu's heart couldn't help but feel half cold.

The interior is made of rosewood gauze cabinets and flower covers. The originally extremely exquisite furnishings are covered with a layer of dust at this time. It seems that I haven't lived in a long time.

She sighed and called Zhulan Zhuxin to come over to clean.

However, when she turned around again, she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing her staggering, Zhulan hurried over and said, "What's wrong with beauty?"

A suffocation sensation instantly surged onto the tip of his nose.

How could there be blood on the curtain in this inner room?

Qin Wu said angrily: "What's going on?"

Zhulan stammered on the side, "I will not say anything anymore... I will take down the curtain now."

Qin Wu said directly: "You make it clear, what's going on in Shuyuyuan?"

Zhulan had to whisper: "Shuyuyuan was the place where Jingpin lived when he was the late emperor. Later... Jingpin was confined to the emperor for a year because of charming the emperor. However, before a year had arrived, she wiped her neck in this palace."

Qin Zun's expression changed slightly.

Convinced the Lord...

Is he warning her?

Qin Wu picked up the order sent by Eunuch Wang just now, expanded it, and looked at it from scratch—

The sixth-grade beauty:

The annual salary is 200 taels of silver; the utensils used are copper; the color of porcelain is green; the number of umbrellas, fans and ice is reduced by half...

The eyes finally fell on the cost of daily candles.

A piece of white wax.

A piece of yellow wax.

A piece of sheep oil wax.

A total of three.

Looking back at that time, Kunning Palace Light White Wax had to burn thirty pieces every day, let alone yellow wax and mutton oil wax.

Qin Xiong's blood was surging, and he couldn't help but hold his waist, raised his head, and gritted his teeth and said "huffing".

Jingren Palace is empty, and she is the only one in the side palace.

If there were only these three candles at night, I would probably not be able to hold on even dawn.

Qin Wu sat on the couch, closing his eyes against the wall, and the list of documents lay horizontally on the ground.

After sweeping, it was already the hour of You.

At sunset, Zhulan and Zhuxin fiddled with the three candles in their hands, and decided which one to click first.

Zhulan sighed and said, "Sister Zhuxin, do you think the beauty has fallen out of favor?"

Zhu Xin whispered: "Everyone is not favored, where did you say that you lose favor?"

Zhulan nodded and said, "That's right...Who do you think Your Majesty will recruit to serve you today?"

Zhu Xin said, "No one is our master. There is no one outside Jingren's palace. Don't forget what Eunuch Sheng said, and you have to stare at it at night."

As the sun sets, the entire palace wall seems to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Deep and silent.

Zhulan walked in and said, "I have lit two lamps for the beauty. After two hours, I will change one for you."

Qin Wu opened his eyes, sat up, his expression calmed down, and said lightly: "From today, I will not light the lights before the hour of Hai. I will leave the white wax and yellow wax. You can take the sheep oil wax."

Zhulan hurriedly said, "I, how dare I..."

Qin Wu lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, go out."

Zhulan bowed and said that.

——

On the other side, the Palace of Peaceful Hearts—

The inner hall of Yangxin Hall is made of gold and bronze, carved with white marble, and the inner wall is decorated with beams and the outer wall is paved with colored bricks.

The lights inside and outside the hall were brightly lit. When the wind blew, the lanterns swayed gently, and the green glazed tiles shone brightly.

Xiao Yu sat on the throne of the boxwood inlaid with red sandalwood and boxwood, holding a pen to review the memorial.

Now that the newcomer has entered the palace, Eunuch Sheng has started his old career again.

He walked over with a roster brand and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you want it..."

Xiao Yu raised his hand to block the lacquer-painted plate, raised his eyes and said, "Put it away, Chunnan Hou will come here tonight."

Eunuch Sheng's old face collapsed.

When it comes to grace, Lu Zesheng, the young marquis of Chunnan, belongs to the strongest family.

As soon as Eunuch Sheng turned around, he heard the sound of boots coming from outside.

A smile came out: "I wish you goodbye to the emperor."

The door of the hall was open, and Lu Ze saw the corner of Eunuch Sheng's unhappy mouth at a glance and the list and brand in his hand.

Lu Ze immediately bowed and said, "I am guilty, but I am not the time to come."
