The father-in-law in charge did not dare to slack off at all when facing Concubine Qiao.
Although the queen has recovered her health, she does not want to interfere with palace affairs. The power of the harem is still firmly in the hands of Concubine Qiao.
No matter when, Concubine Qiao always dresses exquisitely and elegantly, and every move she makes is full of momentum, and she doesn't dare to be looked down upon.
Her hand, stained with red cardamom, was as white as jade satin. She reached out to take it and turned two pages.
"There are only ten people?" Concubine Qiao raised her beautiful eyes and raised her slender eyebrows slightly. The golden steps between the dark clouds on the temples shimmered, giving people invisible pressure.
The steward hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty has told me that for this draft, your Majesty only wants ten beautiful girls."
Concubine Qiao looked startled, then pursed her red lips and calmly held the booklet in her hand.
She was very drunk last night and she said a lot of nice things.
The emperor seems to agree, but it turns out there is a limit on the number of people here!
Why.
Concubine Qiao sighed.
That's all, that's all. It's better if the emperor is willing to choose than if he doesn't.
Concubine Qiao glanced at the beautiful girls in the book. There were ten girls, all of whom had family backgrounds between the fourth and sixth grades. There were not even children of third-grade officials.
"This..." She frowned.
The eunuch in charge could see Concubine Qiao's doubts at a glance.
Before she could speak, the eunuch smiled apologetically and said: "This is also what the emperor meant. This morning, the emperor arranged for Eunuch Chunshou to come and select them, and only these ten people were left. The emperor also said that if the empress sees no problem, then you can
Arrange the date for the beautiful ladies to enter the palace."
Concubine Qiao pressed her jade fingers between her eyebrows.
The two daughters of second-rank officials whom she had originally favored were also directly removed from the list by the emperor this time.
Concubine Qiao was still thinking about whether she could have a look at each other. If she was a good one, she could consider the marriage between His Highness and His Highness.
She thought silently about last night.
Concubine Qiao drank too much, so Gu Yihan picked her up and carried her to the inner couch.
In a daze, Gu Yihan seemed to have pinched her face gently, and said with a smile: "For the sake of the noble concubine, I will reluctantly go through the motions."
Looking at the ten people on the book now, isn't it just a formality?
Concubine Qiao laughed and shook her head.
She folded her thin shoulders and returned the album to the eunuch in charge: "These people are all good, so let's choose the first day of next month to let the beautiful ladies enter the palace and arrange for them to live in Fanghua Garden."
"Yes." The eunuch in charge held up his hands and stepped back respectfully.
After he left, Gu Nuoer put down her pen, walked quickly to Concubine Qiao with her little feet, and squeezed her to sit down.
Her entire soft little body leaned against her mother's body, and she hugged Concubine Qiao's arm.
"Mom, why do you have to convince dad to draft a talent show? There are already so many people in the palace, why do you still need to recruit new people?"
Concubine Qiao scratched the tip of her nose: "The draft is an ancestral system set by our ancestors. Your father has not chosen for fourteen years. Now, although the court is peaceful and the emperor's power is stable, you must choose once, even if it is
Just show off."
"What's more, your eldest and second brothers have reached the age of marriage and have not married yet. Mother can't help them look after each other? After all, it is mother who is taking care of the harem now, so it is impossible not to consider these things."
Gu Nuoer straightened up and blinked her round eyes, her pretty face glowing with tender pink.
She could understand that her mother did this so that others would be impeccable in her behavior.
Concubine Qiao has always been decisive and neat, with a clear sense of right and wrong. She is a very courageous woman.
