"If I were like Liu Guiren, I would still be sitting in the cold palace. I have never told you who I have fallen in love with, but you and I have been together for so long. You should know that the emperor was not in my heart before.
But why I am able to commit myself to him is because of my future status. There are too many things and they are not as simple as you think."
Luo'er took a sip of tea, and then said with a sad tone, "I know what you mean by dominating favor. I will definitely make an effort to choose the concubine this time, even if I sell it to the queen mother to save face."
"Empress, I've wronged you." Rongrong didn't know how to comfort this woman. Every word she said was both emotional and reasonable, leaving her unable to refute.
However, Luo'er also waited until Rongrong left with a strong anger rising in his eyes. If the Crown Princess could rely on this selection of concubines to consolidate her power, then why couldn't she?
She calmly picked up the book at hand, which contained portraits and introductions of several famous women in the capital. This was something she asked Xiao Dezi to do overnight.
Of course, she also used Butler Cheng. Now, if she wants to do anything, she only needs one sentence, and Butler Cheng will help her figure it out clearly. She naturally understands in her heart that Luo Xiao has approved all the things she does.
Yes, their hidden department also needs to grasp the dynamics in the palace, so Luo'er is also the best spy. Just by looking at what she orders, they know the general trend in the palace.
Luo Xiao was also a little concerned about this concubine selection. They all understood that Prince Gong must have prepared for this concubine selection for a long time, and then used the opportunity of the concubine selection to allow the Crown Princess to install his own influence in the harem.
, and win over the emperor.
As for what he wants to do, Luo Er and Luo Xiao both know it tacitly. No matter how tolerant the wolf is, if he sees the prey slip away from him twice, he will probably use all his strength to snatch the food if he has another chance.
.
"Uncle Guo, I invite you here this time because I want to discuss the drought in Hebei with you. I can only rest assured if I entrust this matter to you."
In the imperial study room, the emperor looked at Luo Xiao expectantly, and now he only needed a word from him.
"Your Majesty has entrusted you, even if you die." Luo Xiao leaned over and saluted. Hu Xuan's face was obviously relieved, and he helped Luo Xiao up affectionately, "Uncle Guo is serious. If I don't have you during these days,
, I really don’t know what to do.”
"Your Majesty is too polite." An imperceptible smile appeared on Luo Xiao's lips, "However, after this King leaves, Your Majesty must be careful in choosing his concubine."
"Choose a concubine?" Hu Xuan's face froze, and then he looked at Luo Xiao with some embarrassment, "I didn't expect that Uncle Guo also heard some rumors."
God knows, what he is most worried about at this moment is that like all the sons-in-law in the world, he is worried that his father-in-law will blame him for not paying attention to his daughter.
"It's up to your Majesty, but before I leave, I still want to see my little girl. Is it possible?" Luo Xiao's request was reasonable, and Hu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Luo'er is still studying the selected show girls at the moment. He heard from informants that the number of show girls has increased from more than 5,000 at the beginning to 300. They are currently being examined outside the palace. If this is correct,
If so, seventy-two women will be selected into the palace tonight.
Among these seventy-two women, there are women such as concubines, nobles, beauties, etc., and of course there are also those who were not selected and were sent to various departments in the palace as maids. Luo Er seemed to think of himself.
I couldn't help but sigh at the situation when I entered the palace. Back then, I relied on the Crown Princess to enter the palace. I didn't expect that time had just passed by. Five years had passed, and now I was on an equal footing with the Crown Princess.
