Chapter 678 Twenty Letters

One person stood up, and immediately many others followed, all asking the emperor to pay attention to the draft.

The only courtier present who did not speak was Li Qingyan.

He just stood there quietly, without saying a word.

Luo Qinghan's eyes fell on him and asked lightly.

"Why doesn't Li Shilang speak?"

Now Li Qingyan is already a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he has the right to enter the palace to discuss politics.

Li Qingyan: "The draft is His Majesty's private affairs, and Wei Chen is only a foreign minister, and has no right to interfere in His Majesty's private affairs."

He knew very well that there was someone in the emperor's heart. Even if that person was gone, the emperor would still not be able to forget it. Since he couldn't forget it, how could he be willing to accept other women?

When the others heard Li Qingyan's words, their faces were not very good-looking.

Someone snorted coldly: "Li Shilang said this lightly. His Majesty's children are related to the country and the country. As ministers, we should advise His Majesty to spread more branches and leaves."

Li Qingyan couldn't tell the difference, and only replied: "What you said also makes sense."

In the end, the emperor still did not go to Country Pavilion.

The little eunuch who spread the word did not dare to say that the emperor did not want to come, but only said that the emperor was busy with government affairs and could not escape for the time being.

When the Empress Dowager heard the words, she was a little dissatisfied, but because of the presence of the concubines, she couldn't express her dissatisfaction, she just said it lightly.

"Since the emperor is so busy, Aijia and the concubines will help share the worries of the draft.

Aijia is getting old and his eyesight is not very good, so he may misread things.

You'll have to take a closer look later.

If you see a suitable show girl, you must remind Aijia. "

The concubines responded respectfully: "Here."

The show girls entered the hall in batches and introduced their identities one by one.

Bai Fei felt uncomfortable when she thought that these women were all here to snatch the emperor from her, and no matter what she saw, it was not pleasing to the eye.

The Empress Dowager was still sitting at the top, she didn't dare to show her thoughts, so as not to be called jealous, she could only hold back abruptly.

Concubine Jing looked at the beautiful girls in front of her and felt uncomfortable.

But she has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, no matter what she thinks, she has a dignified appearance on her face.

She actively gave advice and helped the Empress Dowager choose a beautiful girl.

Such a generous appearance really won the appreciation of the Empress Dowager.

Seeing this, Chen Wanyi seemed to be inspired. She also imitated Concubine Jing's practice, and took the initiative to help out with ideas, trying her best to please the Empress Dowager.

With the three of them talking, the entire draft process wouldn't be too deserted.

There were a total of six show girls left behind.

Among them was a grandniece of the Empress Dowager named Lu Peier.

The Empress Dowager's maiden name is Lu. According to the Lu family's idea, she planned to send both daughters of the right age to be married into the palace, but the Empress Dowager refused.

If both were sent to the palace, outsiders would have to doubt the intentions of the Empress Dowager.

She didn't want to cause these troubles, as long as one came in was enough.

In addition to the six beautiful girls who were left in the palace, the Empress Dowager selected four of them and assigned them to the children of the clan.

The show girls nodded their thanks.

In this way, this year's small election will be successfully concluded.

In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager personally went to the Weiyang Palace to inform the emperor of the results of the draft.

Luo Qinghan replied lightly: "There is Lao Huang's grandmother."

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she frowned and said, "If you have any opinions, just say it directly, there is no need to pose like this."

Luo Qinghan: "I have no opinion, I just don't want to choose a concubine."

The Empress Dowager was even more angry: "It's fine if you don't want to choose a concubine, then you can have a child! Ai's family doesn't ask for a prince, a princess is fine, at least stop the mouths of those outside, no Let them gossip about it."

Luo Qinghan is now twenty years old.

Many people at his age have several children.

But he didn't even have one.

There are a lot of people talking about this outside, and there are all kinds of ugly things.

Of course, no one dared to say those words on the surface, but they couldn't stand it in private discussions.

Luo Qinghan was silent.

The Empress Dowager: "Why don't you speak?"

Luo Qinghan: "I have nothing to say."

What can he say?

Said he didn't want to have children?

If these words were really spoken, the Empress Dowager would immediately faint from anger.

The Empress Dowager endured and endured, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back, and asked the words in her heart.

"Are you still thinking about Concubine Xiao?"

Luo Qinghan did not speak again.

The Empress Dowager asked, "There are so many women in the harem, can't they compare to her as a dead person?"

Hearing the word "dead", Luo Qinghan's face instantly turned pale.

He wanted to refute, wanted to say that she was not dead, but when he thought of the letters found from Li Qingyan's house, he couldn't say anything.

When the Empress Dowager saw his red eyes, most of her anger was extinguished immediately.

She was in a hurry just now, and now she can't help but regret it.

Shouldn't say that.

The Empress Dowager sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, Aijia won't talk about her anymore.

Think about it for yourself.

You are the emperor and cannot have no heirs.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the future of Dasheng Jiangshan. "

When the Empress Dowager left, Luo Qinghan waved back the people who were serving in the hall.

He opened the cabinet and took out a small wooden box with a lock.

He took out the key he carried, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the small wooden box.

Twenty letters lay quietly in the box.

There are four words written on the envelope of each letter -

The prince himself.

Even though the person who wrote the letter has worked hard to make it look better, it still looks a little ugly.

In fact, it is not ugly, but the font is a bit fat and looks silly.

Luo Qinghan's fingertips lightly stroked the envelope.

At the end of last year, General Chungmu's House received a letter with the Prince's personal letter on the envelope.

Xiao Lingfeng was afraid that the letter was not clean, so he opened the envelope without authorization. After reading the contents of the letter, he realized that the letter was written by Xiao Xixi to the prince.

Of course, the prince at that time was already the emperor.

Xiao Lingfeng handed the letter to the emperor.

At that time, Luo Qinghan thought that Xiao Xixi was returning to the Xuanmen, and he asked people to inquire about the location of the Xuanmen everywhere, trying to find Xiao Xixi.

When he first received the letter, he was both surprised and delighted.

Xiao Xixi said in the letter that she had completed the task of the division, and now that she has nothing to do, she wanted to go to play and have a look.

She also said some of her recent situation, and her words were very brisk.

At the end of the letter, she said that she had a good time outside and hoped that the prince would not go to her, and at the same time hope that the prince would be a good emperor after he succeeded to the throne and not waste her efforts.

The letter was written very casually, and she wrote it wherever she wanted, just as she felt.

Luo Qinghan's first reaction after reading the letter was to be relieved.

Judging from the content of the letter, Xiao Xixi is at least safe now.

As long as she is safe and sound, the rest is fine.
