Chapter 408: Choosing a Concubine

Tie Kui returned to his own house. Tie Kui lived in a three-entry house. The previous owner of this house was a civil servant, so it was very elegantly furnished.

As soon as the steward Zhong Shan saw Tie Kui, he handed over an invitation and said, "Someone sent an invitation today." This steward is someone Tie Kui trusts, otherwise he would not have handed over the affairs of the mansion to him. give him.

Tie Kui accepted the invitation and looked at Qiu Jian as the inscription, his complexion sank. Qiu Jian, Han Jianming's pseudonym when he left the city was Qiu Jian. As far as he knew, Han Jianming was far away in the northwest. If the person who sent the invitation wasn't trying to test him, he was Han Jianming's person.

Tie Kui knew that Yan Wushuang was capable, and the fact that he was able to build such a large force after hiding was enough proof. But this person is too suspicious and has a gloomy personality to make people unpredictable, and he is not willing to be loyal to such a person. But if he said betray Yan Wushuang, he would not dare. Because once discovered, Yan Wushuang will definitely make his life worse than death. Because before, there are precedents.

After thinking for a while, Tie Kui called Zhong Shan into the study, and said, "This Qiu Jian is Han Jianming's pseudonym." Zhong Shan and Tie Kui entered the military camp at the same time, and they have similar temperaments and have a very good relationship. Later, when something happened to Zhong Shan, he laid hands on Tie Kui.

Zhong Shan also knew Han Jianming's identity, and said, "Is it because you let him go unintentionally, and he wanted to win you over?" Kui is not afraid of being caught.

Tie Kui corrected Zhong Shan's words and said, "I didn't let him go by accident. Although I haven't seen him for almost twenty years, Han Jianming's appearance hasn't changed much since he was a child." His facial features haven't changed much, so he just I recognized it after a few glances. It was also because of this that he let Han Jianming go.

Zhong Shan didn't ask Tie Kui why he met Han Jianming when he grew up in Anshan, because he knew that this brother had a secret. For example, Tie Kui's father was just a very ordinary hunter in Anshan, and his family was not well-to-do, but his brother could write well and could speak Mandarin, especially well. It was because the relationship between the two of them was so close that he only knew about it, but Zhong Shan never asked.

Zhong Shan said with a smile: "You still remember the person you met when you were five years old. Your memory is really good. This time, Han Jianming's people must come here to win you over. What are you going to do?"

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Shan said: "Kuizi, look at this. I'll go to Hongfu Restaurant to find out about this man." There are many people in the capital who know Tie Kui, but few know Zhong Shan.

Tie Kui pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "No, if this is a trick set up by Yan Wushuang, we will die if you go." Yan Wushuang's minions are very powerful, and Tie Kui is very worried that this is a trick set up by Yan Wushuang. If Zhong Shan went, both of them would die miserably. It is not easy for him to survive to this day, so he must be cautious.

Zhong Shan was also worried, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Tie Kui thought for a while and finally decided not to go: "Burn that invitation card. If someone sends this invitation card next time, they will be tied in for interrogation."

Zhong Shan nodded and said, "That's fine. The spies in the capital are doing too much work, so we should be more careful." There are no benefits to contacting Han Jianming, but once caught, his life is in danger. So, it's better to stay away.

Zhong Shan struggled for a while, and asked, "Kuizi, did you release Han Jianming only because you knew each other?" Zhong Shan felt that there must be other reasons.

Tie Kui didn't answer this question: "I'll tell you when the time is right." Yan Wushuang was very suspicious, if Yan Wushuang knew his real life experience, even if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't end well of. Therefore, if one less person knows his identity, he will be more secure.

It has to be said that Tie Kui was right to be cautious. It is true that the person who sent him the letter was from Han Jianming, but he was already under surveillance. If Tie Kui or Zhong Shan went, they would definitely be discovered by the court. At that time, it will not be good.

Because the emperor wanted to choose a concubine, the capital suddenly became lively. There are also requirements for the emperor to choose a concubine. First, the daughter of a fifth-rank official family is eligible, and second, she must be over fifteen years old. Generally, those who love their daughters will be engaged to their daughters before Jiji. However, the conditions for choosing a concubine have changed this time, because they are only selected in the capital, and girls from seventh-rank official families can also be selected for concubines.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Rites was very high, and within three days, qualified candidates in the capital were registered and presented to Yuchen.

Yuchen flipped through it casually, and said to the Minister of Rites: "Follow the rules!" These people still need to pass the test if they want to enter the palace as concubines. After passing the test and conferring a position, she can be regarded as the emperor's concubine.

Nanny Gui brought a cup of tea, handed it to Yuchen and said, "Your Majesty, have a sip of tea!" Ever since Yuchen knew that the emperor was going to choose a concubine, Yuchen had been unhappy. Nanny Gui could also understand that any woman would be happy to let other women share her husband.

Yuchen took a sip of tea and put down the cup, his eyes fell on the blue and white lotus petals on the cup. This blue and white color is elegant, and it is very comfortable to look at: "When these people enter the palace, there will be no such comfortable days." There are more women, and there are more right and wrong.

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, you can't turn left and right." Yuchen is not only in charge of the harem, but also loved by the emperor, so there is no need to be afraid of the concubine who just entered the door.

After saying this, Nanny Gui lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, should I let Imperial Physician Le take a look at it?" It's been such a long time, and Yuchen still hasn't heard anything from her stomach. Now that another concubine is entering the palace, Nanny Gui feels that it is time to hurry up.

Yuchen didn't really want to have another child at first, but it's different now. If she is still in the palace, even if she does not give birth, she still has enough confidence to ensure that her son's position will not be shaken. But now she has no such confidence. After all, the battle for the throne has always been the most tragic.

While talking, Shiqin came in from the outside and told Yuchen one thing: "Your Majesty, the emperor has agreed to canonize Yunqing as King Pingxi."

Yuchen asked: "The news is true?" Seeing Shiqin nodding, Yuchen's face was very ugly. Although Yunqing and Yuxi occupied the northwest before, they were rebels and rebels to the world. But now the emperor agreed to Yuxi's request, canonized Yunqing as king, and cleared them up.

Nanny Gui was also a little unsteady: "How can the emperor agree to this?" Canonizing Yunqing as king, doesn't it mean that the emperor also agreed to hand over the governance of the Northwest to Yunqing and Yuxi.

Yuchen fell into silence.

Yuxi didn't know that the emperor had issued an imperial decree to confer Yunqing as king, and she was hearing the people below saying that Yunqing sent back a girl!

When Xu Wu got the news, he was afraid that Yuxi would misunderstand, so he hurried over to explain to Yuxi; "The general encountered this girl who fell ill on the way to the military camp. So he asked someone to send her back."

After hearing this, Yu Xi asked: "What is the identity of this girl?" Yun Qing didn't feel abnormal during this time, so even if she sent back a young girl, Yu Xi, she didn't get angry. As long as her husband doesn't have such thoughts, she has nothing to worry about.

Xu Wu said: "It has been found out that this woman is the second wife of the Xie family, ranked seventh, and her boudoir name is Xiaoyun."

Yuxi felt something was wrong when she heard this, and said, "Since she is a girl from the Xie family, why don't you just send her back to the Xie family, instead of Yunfu?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either." In fact, Xu Wu is very strange, the general of his family is not a kind person.

Yun Qing was not born indifferent, but because there was a killer in the past, who pretended to be a lady who was bullied by hooligans. As a result, Yun Qing was almost killed. From then on, even if he saw something happened to Tianxian, Yunqing would not go to rescue him.

Yuxi said: "Since this is the case, let Dr. He go and show her! If there is nothing serious, send it back to Xie's house."

After finishing speaking, Yuxi said one more sentence: "Go and check, is this a coincidence or intentional arrangement?" Whoever is a coincidence, forget it, if Xie Xiaoyun has ulterior motives, then don't blame her for being cruel. If you dare to covet her husband, you must be prepared to bear her anger.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "I'll investigate right away." Although Madam is a bit jealous, it can be seen from this incident that Madam is still very nervous about the general, which is a good thing.

After a while, Xu Wu went into the study and said: "Doctor He said that the rash on the seventh girl's body is not a disease, but ringworm from touching something that shouldn't be touched. Now the medicine has been applied, and there is no problem." The so-called Ringworm actually means allergies.

When Yuchen heard that he was not pretending to be sick, he put away half of his hostility towards Xie Xiaoyun, and said, "Since there is no problem, let's send her back!"

An hour later, Xu Wu told Yu Xi the information he had found: "This eldest daughter of Xie Xiaoyun, the second master of Xiefu, is her mother's sacrifice today, and she went to the temple to light the ever-burning lamp for her birth mother." It's over , and added a paragraph: "It wasn't the general's intention to send Xie Xiaoyun to the Yunfu, it was Gao Song who saw that Miss Xie had a rash all over her body, and thought that Dr. He was at the mansion, so he sent her to the mansion .” He said that his general was not a person who cherishes beauty and beauty, and it was exactly as he expected.

Yuxi snorted, as far as she knew Gao Song was not a warm-hearted person. Yu Xi's heart turned, and she asked, "What does Miss Xie look like?"

Xu Wu didn't expect that Madam wouldn't let it go so clearly, so she was cautious when talking about this woman: "This Miss Xie looks average." Xu Wu was telling the truth. Compared with his wife, Xie Xiaoyun is not enough at all. Look.

Yuxi then asked again: "Is there a marriage?"

Xu Wu said: "I made a marriage before, but I don't know what happened later, the man married her concubine sister of the same age." It was only an hour, and it was too late to investigate things that were too careful.

After hearing this, Yuxi laughed, and said: "Check out the details of this girl, if she is a good one, you can tell Gao Song what you just said to me." Gao Song is still a bachelor, if because of this encounter Being a husband and wife is also a kind of fate.

The jump was too fast, Xu Wu was stunned for three seconds before he came back to his senses: "Success, I will tell her when Gao Song comes back." When he got engaged to Daniel, Gao Song was very envious. It would also be a great joy if the major event in his life could be resolved this time.

Yuxi coughed, and said to Xu Wu: "Don't tell the general what happened today." Since you know it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to let Yunqing know about it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Xu Wu smiled and nodded in agreement. (to be continued)
