Jiang Mo came back from a stroll, and called the palace people together.

According to the configuration of the noble, there were four eunuchs who served closely in his courtyard, and four palace maids who were responsible for rough work and cleaning, a total of eight people.

"You each introduce your name, age, how long you have been in the palace, and the skills you are good at." Jiang Mo said slowly.

Several people responded in succession, and answered in turn. Jiang Mo listened, and silently calculated their abilities and usefulness in his heart.

These eunuchs were recruited from all over the palace and served in different places before. They were between seventeen and twenty. neat. The age of the maids is basically between thirteen and fifteen. Although they look relatively young, the ancients were very sensible and had a good life in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They seem to understand the rules and do some needlework. There is more than enough for work and yard work.

Jiang Mo's luggage in Chuxiu Palace had been delivered to the palace, so he instructed the palace people to pack up and register them. In addition to luggage, there are also many items that were given by the palace, and they must be registered in the register and put away carefully, otherwise, they will be punished if they are lost or broken.

When they were packing up, he sat on the soft side and watched, which was considered to be observing their actions. When the things were packed up, Jiang Mo almost knew what he was doing.

He named Zuo Dong, the oldest and most prudent here, as the eunuch in charge, who was in charge of all the affairs in his temple. Among the eunuchs is a young eunuch named Meng Jiao. Although he is the youngest, he has been in the palace for the longest time. He is smart and knows many people. Jiang Mo knows a lot of palaces from him. In the situation, asked him to always be by his side.

In the evening, the palace people went to the imperial kitchen to pass the meal over. The palace is very large, and it was cold when the meal was delivered. Therefore, the kitchen room in the palace came in handy, put the meal on the pot, and it was hot and ready to eat. , does not affect the taste and appearance.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the meals are also distributed according to the rank. Jiang Mo's meal is much better than when he was in the Chuxiu Palace. It changed from three dishes and one soup to six dishes and one soup. There is also a dessert after dinner. The food in this palace is too delicate and the portion is too small.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Mo wanted to wash and sleep directly, but Zuo Dong reminded him not to go to bed too early. Tonight is the first night of the concubines entering the palace. Logically speaking, the emperor will definitely recruit a concubine. , in case he was summoned, but he had already fallen asleep, and then hurriedly got up from the bed, it would be outrageous.

Jiang Mo curled his lips inwardly. He knew the plot line very well, and he knew that the emperor would not be lucky to anyone tonight, and he didn't want to sleep at all, otherwise, he would have to consume the incense of building dreams that he spent points for. But rules are rules, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he always has to do enough on the surface, so he has to wait patiently.

After waiting until Hai Shi, no one came to summon him, and Zuo Dong served Jiang Mo and fell asleep.

The next day, the concubines got up early and went to the Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother. Originally, the empress should be greeted first, but the emperor has not established the empress, so he can only go to see the empress dowager.

As soon as Jiang Mo took Zuo Dong and Meng Jiao out of the hall, he met Liang Yi and the Young Master Li, and the three of them went to the Cining Palace together.

"Have you heard? The emperor didn't recruit any concubines last night." Liang Yi lowered his voice and said to Jiang Mo.

"Really?" Jiang Mo showed a bit of surprise on his face at the right time, and then said, "Maybe there is something important, so I can't find time."

"That's right." Both of them are measured people, so this topic ends here.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, many people had already arrived. They were all dressed up and painted their eyebrows and temples. But if you look closely, you can see that many people have blue eyes, even though they use fat powder. He covered it up, but he still showed some fatigue, thinking it was because he waited all night last night.

Especially those with higher rankings, he saw that Shi Jieyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and had already quietly yawned two or three times. Zhang Qian was still closely following Shi Jieyu's side, saying a few words of flattery from time to time, but her eyes were also a little blue.

Jiang Mo couldn't help laughing in his heart, even if the emperor really wanted to recruit lucky concubines, he would definitely start from a high-ranking, or a particularly outstanding beauty, and there was no reason to favor an unremarkable seventh-rank royal girl on the first night. don't know what it means for her to stay up all night like this.

In fact, Jiang Mo is really wrong to blame Zhang Qian. Even if Zhang Qian is full of ambition, he still has the most basic self-knowledge. She stayed up all night not to wait for the emperor's blessing, but to live very uncomfortable.

As a third-grade Jieyu, Shi Wu girl was able to live in the main hall of Yonghe Palace. Zhang Qian got her light and also lived in Yonghe Palace, but Zhang Qian, as a seventh-grade royal daughter, has a very low rank, let alone In the side hall and the side hall, she didn't even have the qualification to live in a room alone, she was squeezed with the other two royal ladies. Not only the house should be shared, the cabinet should be shared, and even the clean room should be shared.

Zhang Qian originally thought that she and Shi Jieyu were on good terms, and the two people in the same room should give her some face, so she was a little arrogant, but the two royal girls were not easy to get along with, and she couldn't stand her superiority. Attitude, obviously the three of them have the same position, and the two of them are not willing to get used to her stinky problems. The three people said goodbye to each other, and they tossed it all night.

However, Zhang Qian's outfit today is also very scheming. Shi Jieyu is wearing a fuchsia jacquard brocade dress today. Zhang Qian, on the other hand, was dressed very plainly, wearing a light green ruffled skirt with only two white jade hairpin rings on her head. Standing beside Shi Jieyu, she gave off a fresh and elegant feeling.

When the people were almost all there, the maid next to the Queen Mother came to pass them in.

The queen mother is a kind person. After they bow, she will give them seats, but there are dozens of them, and there are not that many chairs, so only concubines above the fifth rank are eligible to sit down, and the rest are low ranking. Can only stand.

Then the queen mother chatted with them for a few words, and while she was talking, she heard a message from outside, "The emperor is here."

Everyone immediately stood up and walked to the direction of the gate to kneel down to greet the holy drive, only the queen mother still sat in the main seat.

The emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walked in slowly, and excitement and joy flashed in the eyes of all the concubines.

"Congratulations to the emperor." The concubines and concubines said in unison, looking up at the emperor with nervousness and anticipation.

Zhang Qian is even more excited. She has used game props to increase her charm value, hoping to leave some impression on the emperor. After he favors those high-ranking concubines, he may be able to think of her.

However, her plan was doomed to fail. The emperor frowned when he saw the beauty kneeling on the ground in the hall, and even paused in his footsteps. Jiang Mo doubted that he originally planned to turn around and leave. But looking at the queen mother's face, he still didn't leave, just skipped them with big strides, and went straight to the queen mother, "I give my mother my best wishes."

"Emperor, you're here." Seeing her son coming to greet her at once, the queen mother was naturally happy and pulled him to the throne to sit down, and then the concubines who were kneeling at the door got up.

The queen mother wanted to invite them to come over and say a few words, but the emperor said directly: "Mother, I have something important to discuss with you."

As soon as these words came out, it was inappropriate for the concubines to stay, so they had to retire unwillingly.

"You, you are still so confused. As an emperor, the most important thing is to have children..." Seeing the disappointment of those concubines and concubines, the queen mother couldn't help but say a few words to the emperor.

The first prince's heirs were thin, with only two sons and two daughters in total. The second prince Zhao Hong and the fourth princess Zhao Fu were born by the current empress dowager.

The eldest prince, Zhao Xin, is smart and cute, and was established as the crown prince very early. The second prince, Zhao Hong, was in poor health when he was a child due to premature birth. , wish her good health and prosperity. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hong was accepted as an apprentice by a master and started to practice martial arts. After his body gradually improved, he went up the mountain to formally apprentice and learn the arts. It took thirteen years to go.

There is a saying, "You're too young, but big is not always good." Xin Zhao is like this. Although he was smart and cute when he was a child, he became cunning and slippery when he grew up. He not only accepted bribes, formed gangs, but also indulged in beauty. In addition to the prince and two concubines, he also accepted countless servants. The concubine passed through the room, but all the maidservants who were somewhat handsome were also pulled into bed by him.

Even though he had doted on this son before, the late emperor was really worried about entrusting Jiangshan Sheji to him, and he thought of another son of his own.

Knowing that his body would not last too long, the first emperor ordered Zhao Hong to be retrieved urgently. Seeing that his young son, who was ill in the past, has now grown into a tall, strong and heroic man, he was gratified. After observing him for a while In the future, he found out that he was a cold-hearted man, a stable man, and the courage of a superior, so he directly abolished Xin Zhao's crown prince, ordered him and his mother to guard the imperial mausoleum, and then passed the throne to Zhao. Hong.

Zhao Hong took the throne in a hurry, and there are really many uncomfortable places, but the Queen Mother worried that he would follow the footsteps of the previous emperor, and hoped that he would spread his branches as soon as possible and spread his heirs, so there will be this election. It's just that he is different from all the beautiful beauties around him like Xin Zhao. He has been studying in the mountains and has never had contact with women at all. No matter how beautiful the beauties are standing in front of him, they are like a Chinese cabbage. Not only can it not make him excited, but it will only make him upset.

Seeing that the queen mother was about to start talking nonstop, the emperor quickly interrupted her, "Queen mother, I really have something important to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.

"The Huns sent messengers to pay homage to the new emperor, and they brought a letter from their khan to marry Fu'er as his wife." Speaking of this, the emperor's face suddenly sank.

"What?!" The Empress Dowager's face changed suddenly, "How can this work? Fu'er is only thirteen years old! How can you marry that kind of barbarian land?"

After sending the youngest son out of the palace, the queen mother was left with only Zhao Fu, and only poured all her mother's love on her. Raising her like a jewel is not for her to marry away to a place like the Xiongnu! What's more, she is only thirteen years old now!

"Aijia disagrees!"

"I don't agree either." No matter how far away the Huns are, they should know that Zhao Fu is the heart of the Empress Dowager, the emperor's sister-in-law, and the princess of the Zhou Dynasty. They simply wanted to take advantage of this, so as to take advantage of the fact that the emperor had just ascended the throne and the situation was unstable to attack Da Zhou and seek benefits.

"If he wants to fight, he will fight! I'm not afraid of anyone!" The emperor said with a stern expression on his face, showing a bit of murderous ferocity.

"The harem is not allowed to do politics, and Aijia doesn't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty. You should negotiate with several ministers before making a decision. There is only one thing, Fu'er must not be married!" The queen mother gave the emperor a deep look.

"Don't worry, mother, I understand."

After the emperor left, the queen mother was no longer in the mood to take care of those concubines and concubines, and only sent someone to recruit Zhao Fu. She watched the pink and jade-carved girl in front of her, holding hands and talking for a long time, and then she felt in her heart. It's a little more stable.

Besides, those concubines who left, I thought that the queen mother would persuade the emperor to favor the concubines earlier, so after returning, they naturally looked forward to it again.

Who knows that the emperor seems to have completely forgotten about these beauties, and he has not recruited anyone for a few days. Those who couldn't stand it, thought of starting with the Queen Mother, and rushed to the Cining Palace to ask for peace. But don't know what happened to the queen mother, she just said that she is not feeling well, and it's enough to ask them to ask for peace every two weeks in the future.

However, after that, the news that Da Zhou and the Xiongnu started fighting came out.

Jiang Mo had seen the world line a long time ago and knew that this battle was inevitable. The emperor was busy with government affairs, so naturally he had no time to spoil his concubines. However, many of these concubines and concubines were born in high families, and the harem and the previous dynasty were originally one, and the emperor could not delay it for long. After the victory in the first battle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor should begin to visit the harem under the persuasion of the courtiers and the empress dowager.

The first lucky person is naturally Shi Jieyu, who is known as the first beauty in the capital. The second lucky one was Lu Mingyue, the daughter of the Censor Zuodu of the Duchayuan. Because she was born with a graceful temperament and a gentle temperament, she was pregnant only this time, and was awarded the concubine Shu. And after the child was born, he became the queen. She should have had a smooth journey, but unfortunately she met Zhang Qian, and she was killed in a miserable death without even saving her child.

That Zhang Qian is also tolerant. She has been in the position of the royal daughter for a year and has never been favored, but she is conscientiously developing her power. She quietly removed a few unsightly people, and then through the palace fighting system, bought a group of people in the palace, and moved her hands and feet when flipping the brand, which allowed her to see the emperor.

She does have some means to serve the emperor comfortably, and her rank has risen again and again, and since she went to Yunyu with the emperor, her charm value has begun to improve by leaps and bounds, and even her appearance has become more and more beautiful. , it is no wonder that it will be so favored later.

But Jiang Mo finds it strange that Zhao Hong is also the son of luck in this small world anyway. Seeing that he acts decisively, he does not seem to be a person who is addicted to women's lust. How can he be played by such a woman? room? Maybe there are some unknown secrets in this palace fighting system... He still needs to be careful in the future.
