Lying on the bed, Cai Xin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

It's not because it's the first time to sleep in bed these days, nor because there's no accompaniment of um um ah ah ah next to me, but because I'm curious about where His Majesty slept tonight and how to record his daily life.

Before dark, she asked the four palace maids as usual, asking which palace the majesty had turned over, but Meihua told her that no one had turned over the sign tonight.

Cai Xin was surprised, a hungry wolf would still be able to become a vegetarian?

"Then which palace should I live in? I want to go there and record my daily notes."

Mei Hua smiled and said, "Girls are as beautiful as flowers and jade. Your Majesty said that if a man and a woman live together in the same room, you are afraid that you will not be able to control yourself, so you won't let your servants tell you."

Recalling Mei Hua's words, Cai Xin always felt that there was something fishy in it. It was true that she was like a flower and jade, but the emperor didn't turn over the sign today. Naturally, his body was hollowed out. How could he not be able to control it?

Since you can't sleep, let's go out for a walk.

Cai Xin stayed at Tiantongyuan in Aotunying today. She passed by Yingzi's room. The door was ajar. She took a curious look. She thought she could see Yingzi's long white legs, but she found that there was no one on the bed.

"Why isn't she here?"

Could it be that these two people secretly found a deserted place to practice martial arts?

After walking around and not finding these two people, Cai Xin went back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I could hear the sound of a sledgehammer being swung outside the house.

When Cai Xin went out, she saw Ao Tunying practicing martial arts. At this time, she was wielding two sledgehammers weighing eighty kilograms each. She was indeed born with supernatural power.

"Sister Ying, where did you go last night?" Cai Xin asked, holding a pen and paper.

"Oh," Otunying put down the sledgehammer, "Brother Lu and I went to bed."

"Uh~sleep?" Cai Xin paused with the pen in her hand and looked at Ao Tunying's tall figure, "Who sleeps with whom?"

"When he sleeps, I stand by to protect him," Otunying explained. "I am His Majesty's personal bodyguard. People's defenses are weakest when they are sleeping, so I have to protect him."

"Then why doesn't His Majesty see you when he's sleeping on weekdays?"

"It's not dangerous to sleep with the sisters-in-law on weekdays." Ao Tunying spread her hands.

"Is it dangerous to sleep last night? Did His Majesty really sleep alone last night?" Cai Xin discovered the blind spot.

Ao Tunying realized that she had made a mistake and yawned, "I have been on duty all day last night and am exhausted. I'm going to catch up on my sleep."

As soon as Ao Tunying left, Cai Xin looked at the sledgehammer on the ground, and her curiosity prompted her to try it out.

"Hey!"

It moved, but it still couldn't be lifted, let alone wielded, but it was much stronger than before. Such a giant hammer must have been motionless before.

During breakfast, Cai Xin met Hu Lu. He was in a good mood. He had not gone to court for five or six days and had not read any memorials. His semi-retirement life was simply a paradise on earth.

Cai Xin wanted to ask the emperor who he slept with last night, but there were six princesses around him, so she couldn't ask such a question.

Finally, when the breakfast was over, the Queen Mother sent someone over to find the Emperor. She thought they could chat for a while on the way, but the Emperor picked up Ji Xiang Ruyi and the topic could no longer go on. Moreover, Cai Xin guessed that even if she asked, he

Most likely they won’t say it.

Hulu hugged Ji Xiangruyi, mainly to prevent the old lady from getting angry. With these two treasures in front, she would give the emperor some face.

Sure enough, Queen Mother Xiao couldn't stop smiling when she saw the twins, and it took her a long time before she started talking about business.

It was not a big deal to come to the emperor this time. It was just to tell him, "The beautiful ladies from all over the country have gathered in the capital. They will receive a period of court etiquette training in the old palace, and conduct background checks, and then select some who are clean and dignified in appearance."

Those with pure character will enter the palace."

Hu Lu had no expectations, he just wanted to find a place to practice cultivation as soon as possible. Looking at Cai Xin who was getting better and better, he felt that time was not waiting for us.

"Would the emperor like to go and take a look in person and pick out a few that you like?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Hulu waved his hand, "It's all up to the Queen Mother and the Second Concubine Xian Shu to make the decision."

Xiao Guoer and Wan Linglong had already agreed that they would personally select girls for their husbands, and Hu Lu also agreed, believing that they would not cheat him.

"Then how many will be elected? It's better to set the number."

Hulu thought for a while and said, "There are already four in the palace, so let's choose forty more."

He felt that once the other party entered the palace as a beautiful girl, even if she was not given a position, he would be responsible for her. In order to avoid the burden of love debt, he could do as little as possible.

The Queen Mother shook her head directly, "That's too much."

Hu Lu was startled, is this still my old mother? Didn't she always hope that the harem would be as large as possible?

The Queen Mother said, "The Ai family and Concubine Shu discussed that the number of people should not be too large. If there are too many, if you don't get close to them, you will gain the status of a beautiful girl in vain. If you live in the palace for a few more years, you may not be able to leave the palace in the future."

If it’s not appropriate, it’s better to stop thinking about it from the beginning.”

"How many do you think the Queen Mother is suitable for?"

Queen Mother Xiao, "Eleven."

Hulu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It all depends on the mother's arrangements."

He can completely digest eleven, even if he can't digest it in a short time, it will take several years to digest it.

Just select 11 girls from more than 100 young girls and give them honorary titles. Why does this routine feel so familiar?

Empress Dowager Xiao was actually persuaded by Wan Linglong. Wan Linglong thought that instead of stuffing so many beautiful girls into the palace at the beginning, it would be better to bring those equally outstanding women into the palace in other identities.

For example, those who could dance, write and write were put into Tianlu Pavilion to serve as teachers for the princesses.

Those who are good at singing and dancing will form a royal song and dance troupe to dance and entertain His Majesty.

Those who were proficient in martial arts were incorporated into the Inner Palace Guards.

Those who like flowers and plants can be put on duty in the Imperial Garden, where they can always meet His Majesty.

In addition, the four maids around His Majesty will be dispatched soon. You can choose four careful and cautious ones to be re-assigned to His Majesty. As time goes by, Your Majesty will inevitably become unmoved.

If you have no skills, you can also choose to be a maid in the palace. As long as you are beautiful, you may have a chance of being favored by His Majesty in the future.

The Empress Dowager said that it was a great kindness that the Emperor had few women. In the final analysis, the maids and officials in the palace were mediocre and uninteresting.

Even if he were to be a saint, he would not be able to control those beauties from all over the country who were selected from thousands of places and were surrounded by them all day long!

And not only these girls, but also Cai Xin!

When the emperor was about to leave, the queen mother stayed behind and took care of Cai Xin carefully. By the time she was released by the queen mother, the emperor would have been nowhere to be found.

~

Yue Palace, this old palace that had been dormant for more than 20 years has become lively again. It is about to welcome 140 draft girls from 13 provinces across the country and the capital.

Previously, only some of the late emperor's concubines lived here, and they still had a normal relationship with the Queen Mother. Those who were close to the Queen Mother had long since been brought into the new palace to enjoy their blessings.

Middle-aged and elderly women with dull eyes and slender figures stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the fresh and vibrant lives, feeling envious and mostly sighing.

So what if we enter the palace, what if we become a master, this is not the end we have~
