After more than ten years of development and running-in, Hu Lu and Wan Linglong were able to meet their opponents and meet their talents. It was not until late at night that the two of them took advantage of their magical powers.

Hu Lu gently stroked the eldest sister's hair. Well, it hasn't become less, which is good.

It used to be that he was lying in Sister Linglong's arms, but later he grew taller and became Sister Linglong lying in his arms.

"What were you settling just now?"

"Expenses for the draft," Wan Linglong punched Hu Lu with some resentment, "I'll pay for you to choose a woman. What's this?"

"Well, the money in the inner treasury seems to be my money, right?"

Wan Linglong's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Are you trying to reason with me? Do you think that only Xiao Guo'er can be unreasonable?"

"No more, no more," Hu Lu cleverly changed the subject, "Is the draft very expensive?"

After all, it was the first time in twenty years since he ascended the throne, and Hulu felt it was new.

"Of course!" When the topic of money came up, Wan Linglong became more energetic, "First of all, the selection of women should be mainly female officials, so almost all the female officials in the capital have dispersed, and the travel expenses back and forth are not a small amount.

"In addition, we have to bring the beautiful girl from the local area and ensure high-quality food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. After all, she may become a concubine in the future, so we cannot afford to neglect it. This is another huge expense."

"Isn't there just a few dozen people?"

"Dozens of people? Dozens of people are the quota for entering the palace," Wan Linglong said, "A capital city, plus thirteen provinces, each place must select at least ten dignified beautiful women. This is one hundred

If there are many people, each one must have at least one or two followers, and the money must come from the internal treasury.

"After arriving in the capital, they will go through a selection process. The best ones will be admitted to the palace, and the rest will be given enough gold and silver to compensate them."

It can be understood as a participation award.

Of course, these expenditures are nothing compared to the internal treasury's input. Wan Linglong's huge reaction is simply that she feels that she has spent money in vain.

With these little girl films, it’s hard to say how many of them will eventually continue the royal family’s legacy.

It's not that she doubts Hu Lu's ability, but now that His Majesty is obsessed with cultivation, will he still be able to cultivate a relationship with a new person?

Don't go into the palace without even opening the package, wasting money and delaying the girl's life.

"Little gourd, do you think there really are immortals in the world?" Wan Linglong called Emperor Fushou's nickname with some emotion.

"Of course, I believe we will be able to see it in the near future!" Hulu's eyes flashed.

"Then," Wan Linglong asked again, "then cultivation of immortality should depend on qualifications."

"That should be the case. I read some supernatural novels that mentioned spiritual roots."

Wan Linglong: "Then if you can cultivate immortality and we can't, you will have to watch us grow old slowly."

Isn't this cruel?

Hu Lu had also considered this issue before. He held Wan Linglong's hand tightly and said, "Then I don't have to look at you. When the time comes, I will hide in the deep mountains and old forests to practice alone, and I won't come out until you are dead."

"

Wan Linglong: "..."

Looking at Hu Lu's affectionate eyes, Wan Linglong suppressed her words, "If I couldn't beat you, I would really want to beat you to death."

"Hey, my sister has been unable to beat me since I was 13 years old~" Hu Lu said proudly, which brought back some beautiful memories for Wan Linglong.

When they went to court the next day, the attitude of Prime Minister Xiao Shen and other civil officials was obviously much better.

For a young emperor like Emperor Fushou who was unparalleled in his literary skills and military prowess, his willingness to draft women to fill his harem was already a huge concession.

Hulu also took the opportunity to kick his nose and face, and proposed to change the frequency of going to court to once every three days, ten times a month.

"If there is any major issue that cannot be decided, you can report it directly to Sixiang Palace. What do you dear ladies think?"

This is actually a disguised delegation of power, which is a good thing for the courtiers.

But it also means that the emperor really has no interest in government affairs, and all his thoughts are on cultivating immortality and immortality. This is not a good sign.

Xiao Shen couldn't refute the emperor's face any more. Incompatibility between the emperor and the emperor would cause big problems, so he looked at his favorite disciple Yu Shaoyan.

Yu Daodao, it’s up to you!

An upright minister like Yu Shaoyan could not see the emperor being lazy, so he had already stood up without Xiao Shen's wink.

"Your Majesty, I think..."

"Shao Yan," Hulu interrupted him directly, "Your aunt broke her foot a while ago. My uncle wants to spend more time with her. If you still have a sense of filial piety, don't open your mouth."

"I, I, I..."

One trick of the uncle's trick made Yu Shaoyan, an honest man, speechless.

Yu Shaoyan was dumbfounded, and no other civil and military officials dared to speak, so the rules of the court meeting were changed again, and Hu Lu could work for one day and rest for two days.

Delightful!

After retreating from the court, Hulu hurried back to the Sixiang Hall, where someone was already waiting for him.

"He Aiqing!"

Hu Lu looked at the ragged He Kun, a political advisor and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, in front of him, and almost didn't recognize him, "Why are you in such a mess?"

"Your Majesty!" He Kun fell to his knees, scratching his nose and tears, "I encountered bandits on my way back to Beijing and was robbed!"

"What, where are the bandits who dare to step on my horse and touch my people!"

"That's not important. What's important is that those group of robbers killed many people and had a reputation for being cannibals. But I heard that I was His Majesty's angel and was frightened by His Majesty's reputation.

The minister and his entourage were released~"

Speaking of this, He Kun showed a flattering smile on his face, "Speaking of which, Your Majesty saved my life. The grace of saving my life is like rebirth!"

After saying that, there were three more clanging noises.

Although I know that there is an element of flattery in it, and the content is extremely high, He Kun's art of speaking is so magical that it makes you feel fake, but very comfortable.

Emperor Fushou expressed that he was very pleased.

He personally helped He Kun up and said kindly, "My dear, I have no choice but to help you. I'm very relieved, but we can't do it without suppressing the bandits. I'll issue a decree later and you can personally supervise it."

"I accept the decree."

He Kun did not leave immediately. He knew that the emperor was now obsessed with cultivating immortality, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what can you tell about those shoes?"

"Oh, um," Hu Lu didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm and suddenly changed the subject, "He Aiqing, let me share some good news with you. Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jiulang will soon bring back a two-hundred-year-old strange man."

"What, two hundred years old!" He Kun said in astonishment, "Did that old man master the method of immortality? Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty, long live your Majesty... No, no, no, your Majesty is not only long live, I am afraid that if you want to live forever,

His longevity is as long as the sky!"

Hu Lu smiled very cheerfully, "What a pity. Liu Lang and the old man encountered a water monster on the way. It is said to be as big as a boat. They were afraid of some evil spirit, so they took the land route instead. It would take a few days at night before they could meet."

"Ah, water monster? There is such a thing. I am willing to lead the troops to destroy this monster for Your Majesty!"

Hu Lu waved his hand and waved to him again. After the two of them got closer, he whispered, "The water monster is dead. It is suspected that he was killed by a fox demon."

"Ah, fox demon? That fox demon must be very ferocious, right?" He Kun said worriedly.

Hu Lu also frowned, "Maybe~"

~

On Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in Yuejing, where the little fox demon Bai Buling passed by, countless vendors and pedestrians frequently glanced at her.

Not only because of her beautiful face, good figure, bright smile, but also the faint fragrance exuding from her body.

Everything she passed seemed to turn an ambiguous pink.

Although Hu Lu invented perfume as early as ten years old, and after years of development, it has entered the homes of ordinary people, but the fragrance of Bai Buling is definitely the king of fragrances.

It's not overpowering, but it's overpowering and overpowering! It's so overpowering!
