Chapter 1585: Motivated (wowling for monthly votes)
If the Shifu Jin were so ignorant and followed the Mongolian way of treating future concubines and concubines, that would be a taboo.
That's royal blood.
Qi Fujin also knew that Shi Fujin was marrying far away and could not rely on his natal family, so he could not make any mistakes, so he said: "Listen to your ninth sister-in-law, you and tenth brother will discuss it..."
Shi Fujin is young, but Brother Shi has taught him firsthand that he will be more tolerant if he has it, so he cannot rely solely on Shi Fujin.
Shi Fujin was a person who listened to advice and said, "Well, I'm definitely not self-absorbed. I've asked our father before."
Qi Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said, "Aren't you worried? There is a kitten in the backyard of your house and the tenth prince's house. It's too eye-catching."
Shu Shu said helplessly: "It's useless to worry, it's not up to us to make the decision."
Qi Fujin couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "Earlier, I thought Fujin would arrange for someone to come over, but I didn't expect that the emperor would take care of this himself!"
She has two mothers-in-law here, but they both have unfair names, and they get along with each other, which is different from ordinary mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
Shu Shu couldn't complain, so she could only say: "It can be seen that the prince, Jin Gui, has a family and a career, but the emperor is still worried about everything."
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this hurts my son too much. My father will not be so careful!"
Although the impact of this matter is not small, Qi Fujin and Ten Fujin are not too worried.
The two of them came over and wanted to talk more.
Having said what needed to be said, the two left contentedly.
The Queen Mother did not inquire about this information, but Ningshou Palace also managed the population under its name.
Girls from several of them were also on the candidate list, so they had to ask someone to ask Aunt Bai.
In their view, since they are the subjects of Ningshou Palace, if they really want to select a girl to join the royal family, they are naturally happy to send her to Wubeile Palace.
In that case, you can still get the care of the Queen Mother.
Apart from his direct descendant Fujin, Wubeile Mansion also has no other favorites.
Although there was a concubine's eldest son who entered the palace to study, the biological mother made a mistake.
In the future, if the fifth elder brother invites Fujin to be appointed as his successor, he will only choose from those at the back.
Aunt Bai reported to the Queen Mother privately and asked: "The Emperor wants to choose ten, for the fifth master's sake. Does the Queen want to meet the children of those families?"
The number of concubines in the fifth elder brother's house is relatively small, with only two princesses and two common rooms.
After Mrs. Liu sent her away, she only had one bedroom and two common rooms.
Aunt Bai watched the fifth elder brother grow up, so she naturally felt sorry for the fifth elder brother.
The Queen Mother thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I'm missing. I'd better follow the emperor's arrangements."
I have chosen a girl from Ningshou Palace to lead the house, and when I arrive at Wubeile Mansion, I will behave obediently. If she is naughty, it will put Wufujin in trouble.
The Queen Mother is her legitimate wife. Although she loves her grandson, she doesn't want to interfere too much...

Imperial City, Gao Yanzhong's home.
Musca had served as the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than ten years, and he had familiar handlers. However, this time, he did not find another person to choose the beautiful lady, but directly handed it over to Gao Yanzhong, the doctor in charge of the palace.
This is also a statement of stance towards Brother Jiu and Gao Yanzhong, and does not mean to exclude dissidents.
The Gao family is busy with traffic, and not just one or two families come to visit.
Not many people would be happy to send their daughter to be a palace maid, but not many people would be able to refuse to send their daughter to be a princess.
But ten people...
According to the registration, there are two or three hundred numbers of qualified candidates.
"Brother Gao Xian, how do we calculate the family background? Can the family background of an undivided family be calculated from the official position of the grandfather or uncle? In the early years, Empress Minbi ran for election as the daughter of her uncle..."
This status can be promoted or demoted, and I am naturally looking forward to getting an opportunity.
"Fourteen to seventeen, isn't it too strict? There is no age too young for the Eight Banners draft. There are still ten-year-olds here for the Baoyi draft, and those who enter the palace at eleven..."
This is the case of Rong's concubine.
Concubine Rong entered the palace at the age of ten and stayed in the palace for many years.
She grew up with the emperor's childhood sweetheart. She was favored for more than thirty years and gave birth to five boys and one girl.
The princes are opening mansions and being knighted one after another. Who knows when the next selection of beauties will be.
"We are Baoyi, servants of the royal family, and we are mainly on royal errands. How can a private verbal agreement be counted? It is all gossip between women and should not be counted..."
This is an example of a daughter who is engaged, is no longer eligible, and is planning to regret the engagement, so she came here to find out.
There are also people who are familiar with Gao Yanzhong, and they have to secretly ask: "How many people are entering Yuqing Palace this time? Four people, or two people..."
The emperor's grandson has already counted on his maternal family, so can he count on the future prince's maternal family?
Gao Yanzhong was used to being an errand, and said: "I'm just an errand boy. As for how to choose and how to promote after the election, I still have to listen to Manager Ma's instructions..."
All kinds of false responses were made to send people away.
When only the Gao family was left, Li said: "Master, several in-laws are among the candidates. People outside are watching the master. It is probably because of this that they are worried that the master will show favoritism..."
Gao Yanzhong shook his head and said: "The Zhong family is not among the candidates. The emperor has ordered that the candidates should be selected from official families with upright family traditions. Those who have served as prisoners within three generations, or the head of the family himself has a record of demerits, are not allowed to be selected.
"
Li was surprised and said: "The emperor still ordered this? From this point of view, the future of these beautiful women is certain."
This is no ordinary prince's concubine, but also a gift from the emperor.
When he has meritorious service in childbearing, he may become a prince and become a prince.
Except for those families who have failed the emperor's favor, banning their daughters from running for election will also serve as a deterrent to Bao Yi.
One goes with the other, and by the time the new royal family comes to the fore, those older families will fall.
The Gao family only has two daughters, who were married many years ago and have a granddaughter, but they are not of the right age and are not among the candidates.
Therefore, the small election at this time has little to do with the interests of the Gao family.
Gao Yanzhong said: "This is Lord Ma's first errand after taking office, and it was ordered by the emperor himself. How many people are watching, even if the in-laws come to the door, they will still say the same thing."
The eldest daughter-in-law's sister is on the candidate list.
The second daughter-in-law's cousin is also on the candidate list.
Mrs. Li thought about the situation of the girls from the two families and said: "Marry a virtuous wife and take a concubine. The girls from these two families are just pretty. Even if they are on the list, their future prospects are not good. I really want to love the children." They should wait until they lose the election."
Gao Yanzhong said: "Wealth and honor are so easy to get, how many people can resist being tempted?"
The fourth concubine in the front raised the flag, and the concubines and noble family members also changed their family status.
Nowadays, it is rare to see Baoyi agreeing in the Qianqing Palace. Most of them are from Jiangnan women.
There are fewer opportunities to be the prince's maternal wife.
But the chance of becoming the grandson of the emperor seems to be great.
Even if he is a concubine in the prince's palace, when he is knighted, he will also be a general of the clan, and he will have one more noble family from now on.
However, Gao Yanzhong did not hesitate. He knew that he was limited and had no intention of doing everything to support his in-laws. Otherwise, if he helped one family, he would offend the other, and neither family would be able to do so.
Not only was the Gao family full of guests, but Cao Shun was also blocked at the door of his house.
The person who came was not Cao Quan, but members of the Li family and the Sun family.
Cao Quan was innocent and noble at heart, and did not like to seek wealth and wealth. When the two families approached him, he went to Xishan to enjoy the snow.
Cao Shun also wanted to hide, but he didn't have time.
They were all elders, so Cao Shun could only welcome him home.
But his attitude was also very firm: "Not to mention that this errand was not handed over to Master Jiu, even if Master Jiu was in charge, there is no reason for me to be a slave. Those who meet the conditions can just wait for selection; those who do not meet the conditions. , no matter how hard you work, it’s all in vain..."
An uncle from the Sun family said: "Your eldest sister is studying with the princess in the palace. She is also fourteen this year. Your uncle didn't tell you who is next to you?"
Cao Shun's cousin Cao Gege was a reading companion of Fifteen Gege. This year she is fourteen and is the age to be elected.
Cao Shundao said: "As early as thirty-eight years before my eldest sister came to Beijing, my uncle asked for grace in front of the emperor and exempted my eldest sister from the small election. This time, the beautiful girls in the school who were exempted from the election and who were exchanged were not here." On the candidate booklet..."
The person coming from the Li family is Li Can, the fourth master of the Li family.
Li Can and Cao Shun were double related by marriage. In addition to being cousins of Cao Shun's aunt, they were also related by marriage to his first wife.
Li Can's eldest son is engaged to be a girl from Zhanghou's family and the sister of Cao Shunfa's wife.
This time Li Can came here to inquire about news.
Li Can's eldest daughter is fifteen, so she is the right age.
Although he does not have a real vacancy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and only works for his elder brother in Suzhou Weaving Mansion, but for the convenience of walking, he has a candidate magistrate of the seventh grade, who happens to be on the line for this draft.
In front of everyone, he didn't say much and asked a few questions along with the flow.
But after everyone left, he stayed a step, pointed to the south, and said to Cao Shun: "Are people going to enter the Prince's Mansion this time?"
For the Baoyi family, Jiu Age, the current prince, is more tempting than other princes.
If I could get married to Brother Jiu and benefit from it in the future, it would be a different situation.
Cao Shundao said: "This nephew doesn't know. It is the emperor who makes the decision. Who knows how the emperor can be gracious."
Outsiders don't know who has the final say in the Prince's Mansion, don't they, the subordinates, know?
In other prince's mansions, if Princess Ge Ge's concubine is favored, she may be able to show off, but this is not possible in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Even if someone comes to the Prince's Mansion, it's probably just to clean up another yard on the west road.
Cao Shun understood in his heart, but he was strict with his words and did not say a word.
Li Can glanced at Cao Shun steadily and said: "Although my nephew is working as an errand in Beijing, he also grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. You should know that the Cao and Li families are related and help each other..."
Cao Shun said politely: "What my fourth uncle taught me, my nephew should keep it in mind."
Li Can couldn't help but laugh twice, got on the carriage, and left the back alley of the Prince's Mansion.
But when he returned to Shichahai Villa, Li Can wrote a letter to Li Xu, mentioning the draft for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Cao Shun's attitude towards the Li family.
Cao Shun is not close to the Li family, so he may be resentful.
If Cao Yong hadn't been born after Li, Cao Shun would have been Cao Yin's heir.
It is expected that Cao Shun does not like the Li family.
It's hard to say whether such a person, staying with Brother Jiu, would privately cause trouble for the Cao and Li families.
In order to prevent future troubles, is there any way to transfer Cao Shun away from the Ninth Prince's Mansion?
How did Cao Shun know that he just abided by his duty and did not interfere with the draft, so he was regarded as harboring resentment, and even his future became bleak...

I was discharged from the hospital today! La la la!
I used Simei for blood sugar, and my liver function dropped from 180+ to 80+. I just need to take medicine for maintenance. However, I have a checkup next week and a minor surgery after that. I will have to be admitted to the hospital for one to two weeks. Dear friends,
Take this as a warning and take good care of your body.
