"The new master, King Shunxun?" someone asked vaguely.
The spokesperson of the Situ clan in the imperial capital, Situ Ba, shook his head and rejected: "It's impossible."
"Although King Shunxun has the appearance of an emperor, his attitude has always been unclear. Putting Daxia's interests first, it is impossible for him to agree to this matter."
"The last incident involving Wang Min of Xiliang already made him dissatisfied."
The other eight people nodded slowly.
"Let's wait and see. The family will make up their minds. Then we can cooperate."
"The Xiao family brothers and sisters, Guo Ziyun, and Gu Chuntang are all our number one enemies. Unless these people are eliminated, Your Majesty will never understand who is the real hero of Daxia!"
Wang Zhen said: "In this way, when you go back, you can first control the outflow of food to prevent the imperial court from buying enough food to attack Xiliang."
"The recovery of Xiliang must be the result of our family members."
"Don't show your weakness."
"good!"
"no problem!"
Everyone responded in unison.
…
Two days in a row, nothing happened.
Xiliang is like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no trouble in the grassland.
Xiang Shengnan, as well as various spies from outside, were all locked in searching for clues.
But the harem was extremely busy.
The last time he went to Hangu Pass, Qin Yun had promised the cabinet ministers that he must have a concubine and put the matter of establishing a prince on the agenda.
So after a few days of stability, the concubine selection officially began!
This time, it was more rigorous and larger than ever before.
Qin Yun had nothing to do, so he came to Yangxin Hall to see Xiao Yuxiang.
As soon as I got closer, I heard her scolding voice. She was originally a model of gentleness and elegance, with no airs, but today she was angry.
Curious, he quietly approached and listened.
I saw it, in the main hall.
The official of the Ministry of Rites knelt on the ground and was scolded bloody!!
"Asshole!"
"What is this, what is it?"
Xiao Yuxiang's face turned red with anger, his red phoenix eyes were about to burst into flames, and he smashed the file on the ground with his jade hands.
The hair in a bun on the top of the head and the gold hairpin swaying on the steps.
He scolded: "Your Majesty chooses a concubine, how can you choose some unclean women? This county magistrate's sister-in-law is almost forty years old and has given birth to children."
"You dare to submit it? Is this an insult to His Majesty?"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites complained and almost cried: "Empress, you really don't blame us for this."
"Yes...it's what the father-in-law said. Your Majesty likes women."
"So, we just..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxiang's anger subsided a little.
Dai Mei frowned: "But we can't find this kind of thing, it won't sound good if it gets spread."
"A concubine must be a girl with excellent appearance and a clean family background."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites knelt down and did not dare to raise their heads.
Said: "Queen, there are girls... there are also..."
"Then my official will reject these draft lists immediately. Anyone over the age of nineteen will not accept them."
Several people wanted to say goodbye and run away.
Xiao Yuxiang frowned slightly and suddenly sighed: "That's all."
"Keep these older ones with His Majesty and send someone to secretly bring them into the palace."
"Since Your Majesty likes it, then just follow it."
Hear this.
Qin Yun outside the hall couldn't help but grin.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Not only can she help herself carefully choose a concubine, but she can also lower her standards and accept some women she thinks are not good.
It was very difficult for her to reach this point.
"who!"
Xiao Yuxiang suddenly scolded him and when he heard the snickering, he immediately showed an angry look.
Immediately afterwards, the Forbidden Army rushed over quickly.
Qin Yun coughed a few times and walked out on his own initiative.
"Ahem, Xiang'er, it's me."
Xiao Yuxiang was shocked, stood up immediately, and stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, I didn't know it was you, please forgive me."
Qin Yun waved his hands with a smile, and the people around him retreated.
She took the initiative to joke: "Tsk, my Xiang'er, since she became the queen, she has become more official."
Her face turned red and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you are teasing me again."
"I usually don't get angry, but today the officials from the Ministry of Rites made me very angry."
Qin Yun smiled and stroked her hair.
"I heard it all, I was joking with you."
"As for the matter of taking a concubine, I can do it casually. I can deal with all the civil and military officials."
"I want to come to the Nourishing Heart Hall a few more times at night."
Xiao Yuxiang's heart felt warm, and there was an unconcealable smile on her red lips, but she didn't mean anything: "How can that be done?"
"Your Majesty, it is necessary to fill the harem."
Qin Yun smiled without saying a word and carried her to the bedroom.
Sitting on the soft couch, he held her in his arms, reached out to take off her embroidered shoes, took her white and delicate jade feet in his hands and kneaded them.
"Guess what I'm here to do?"
Xiao Yuxiang's face was slightly red, and she said in a thin voice: "Your Majesty, could it be those things again?"
Qin Yun winked: "Am I that hungry?"
She smiled and said rather shyly: "But every time Your Majesty sits on this couch during the day, I will be tortured a lot."
Qin Yun felt hot when he looked at her gorgeous cheeks and curvy figure.
He couldn't help but bury his head on her collarbone and inhale the fragrance.
Xiao Yuxiang's eyebrows were gentle: "Your Majesty, if it's really unbearable, just do it boldly."
"I won't talk about your Majesty."
Qin Yun touched the tip of his nose and said with a sly smile: "Xiang'er's feet smell like milk."
She blushed and said, "Oh, Your Majesty is always embarrassing me, what's the smell of your feet?"
"Really."
Qin Yun is serious.
Xiao Yuxiang lay in his arms and kicked off the embroidered shoe on her other foot, revealing her absolutely exquisitely carved jade feet.
As if asking for credit, he said: "Your Majesty, if you like it, I'll do it."
"Sometimes Xiang'er feels so happy. No matter how busy you are, you will come to my concubine to talk. None of the other sisters seem to have this treatment."
"But I have not been able to make any contribution or return to His Majesty."
Qin Yun smiled slightly: "You went too far again. Don't say such depressing words next time."
She nodded, very gentle and well-behaved.
Qin Yun hugged her and felt her softness, as if his heart felt much calmer.
He rested his chin on her hair and said faintly: "I actually came to your place to rest. I'm so tired in the imperial study. As soon as I entered, I felt like there were thousands of things going on."
"Wang Min of Xiliang and all the noble families are in serious trouble."
Xiao Yuxiang grabbed his hand and said gently: "Your Majesty, Xiang'er will always be behind you."
"No matter how difficult it is, it's still the same!"
"Didn't you survive the difficult situation when Wang Wei rebelled? So I promise Xiang'er that you won't be discouraged, okay?"
She raised her head, her rouge was exquisite, and her eyes were dazzling, flowing with love.
At that moment, it was like a spring breeze blowing on my face.
Qin Yun's inner turmoil was instantly soothed.
"good!"
He said seriously.
The two embraced each other, feeling each other's warmth.
After a round of rubbing the ears and cheeks.
Qin Yun left the Yangxin Hall and went to the Tianlao.
He planned to meet Xuan Yunzi again and have a chat.
