    Yu Shu stayed in the imperial study room for less than half an hour. The Queen Mother somehow got the message and directly sent the eldest maid next to her to Tai'an Palace to ask for help.  ¡Ê¡â "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was about to announce that Yu was entering the palace. She happened to hear that you were here, so she asked her servant to come and deliver the message." Yu Shu sat on the imperial chair, holding a cup in his hand.  Pretending to be deaf and dumb with a cup of herbal tea.  It was a taboo for the harem to inquire into the affairs of the previous dynasty, but Emperor Yan was filial and did not care about Empress Dowager Wei's overstepping the rules.  "Oh? Why does the queen want to see Yu Qing?" Emperor Yan asked curiously.  I'm a little worried that Jiang Hua hasn't given up yet. The Queen Mother loves her daughter so much that she can't help Xue Rui, so she turns to Yu Shu.  "Back to the emperor, the queen mother should have asked Yu Da to give advice on the selection of concubines for the harem." Emperor Yan said "Huh", turned to Yu Shu and said: "In that case, you should go to the harem and listen.  Listen to the Queen Mother's instructions." Yu Shu then stood up and said, "I will leave first." She was not afraid of Queen Mother Wei finding trouble, and followed the palace people leisurely.  Less than two months after Dayan moved the capital to Beijing, the harem was empty. Only Empress Dowager Wei and Jiang Hua and their daughter lived there, and there were not even any concubines of the highest rank.  Emperor Yan had several concubines when he was in Ningdong City, but none of them were favored. After entering the capital, he quietly sealed the beauty and lived in seclusion in the side hall.  As the highest-status woman in the harem, Queen Mother Wei naturally lived in Cining Palace.  Yu Shu was a frequent visitor to the harem, and she had seen a lot of the women in the palace, whether it was Concubine Xue who was the most beloved in the Sixth Palace, or Empress Rui, who had all her tricks, to Empress Xia Jiang, who later captured the emperor's heart, and  The clever concubine Rui Shu.  Putting aside personal grudges, she had a trace of sympathy for these women who bloomed and withered.  Empress Dowager Wei is an alternative. She has neither experienced competition for favor nor competition for the right to inherit the throne. She earned this honor with her son's hard work in the country. The fact that she was able to raise a founding emperor speaks for itself.  She has great abilities, so even if she doesn't understand the dirty tricks of the harem, she is definitely a woman who is not easy to mess with.  Yu Shu made a decision for Queen Mother Wei in her heart. After entering the Cining Palace, the expression on her face remained unchanged.  He was brought to Queen Mother Wei.  He bowed respectfully.  "Your Majesty, Yu Shu, comes to see the Empress Dowager." Empress Dowager Wei was leaning on the couch, glanced down at her, and without much embarrassment, she called out, "Give me a seat." As early as five or six years ago.  The two of them had met once before.  Interesting to say.  That time it was also to choose a concubine for Emperor Yan, but the last time I chose the princess, this time I chose the concubine.  Yu Shu took two steps back and sat down.  Putting his hands flat on his knees, he didn't look sideways and didn't raise his head to take another look at the Queen Mother sitting on the seat. No one could fault her every move.  In fact, when it comes to the rules in the palace, I'm afraid even Queen Mother Wei doesn't know as much as she does.  "The Ai family came to ask you to help the emperor choose his concubine. You have also seen that the harem is such a big place, and only the mother and daughter of the Ai family live in it. It is really pitiful and deserted. The emperor has been busy with state affairs these years and has been unintentional.  The Ai family can no longer sit back and ignore the women's lust. It is time to expand the Yan harem, and more importantly, choose a satisfactory queen for the emperor. " Yu Shu thought about just now.  When Emperor Yan heard about the selection of the concubine in the imperial study, he didn't say much. He knew that although he was neither enthusiastic nor resisting, he replied: "Don't worry, Madam, I will make arrangements when I get back today and send orders to the Kunling Bureau and the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter."  "The selection of the emperor's concubine has always been jointly organized by the Kunling Bureau and the Ministry of Rites. As Yu Shu is the chief supervisor of Si Tianjian, as long as she explains it in one sentence, someone will naturally do their best.  But Empress Dowager Wei frowned and said displeasedly: "What the Ai family wants is for you to take care of it yourself. This is the first time the emperor has chosen a concubine after he ascended the throne. How can we tolerate sloppiness? The Ai family's scandal is ahead of time, just in case the errands are done this time  Damn it, you are the only one asking from the Ai family." Seeing this, Yu Shu couldn't help but see that the Queen Mother was taking the opportunity to make things difficult for her, so she stood up and said, "I accept the decree." Queen Mother Wei looked at her without showing any dissatisfaction.  Stay calm.  She came to Yu Shu not only to choose a concubine, but also to meet Cheng Yaojin, who had come out halfway to snatch her son-in-law Chenglong.  She understands that strong-willed melons are not sweet, but no one can stop her, a mother-in-law, from venting her anger on her daughter.  Empress Dowager Wei sneered secretly, winked at Nanny Chen who was standing at the door, and heard a report coming from outside: "The Shang Palace Bureau has newly trained some palace servants and sent them to serve. Would you like to take a look, the Empress Dowager?" "  Ask them to come over." Queen Mother Wei nodded and asked someone to show Yu Shu tea, but she was not in a hurry to let her go.  After a while, I heard a summons from outside the palace. The nun who guarded the door led a few graceful maids in. There were eight of them in total. After taking two steps, they all knelt down to salute. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look around.  Queen Mother Wei looked at them once and saw thatNot sure whether he was satisfied or not, Chen Momo stepped forward and explained: "These were originally from the palace. They stayed here because they refused to go out during the amnesty last time. The good thing is that they knew the rules and sent them here first."  Empress Dowager Wei said: "There is no need for such people here in the Ai family. Since they don't want to leave the palace, we can just arrange another place for them to go." As she said that, she seemed to have a whim, nodded casually, and said: "This person on the left  Two of them will be sent to Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion, the two on the right will be sent to General Dai's Mansion, and the four of them will be sent to Prince Ping's Mansion to serve them together. " Yu Shuyuan didn't even look at the ground.  After hearing this, several palace maids turned to look at Queen Mother Wei. She happened to look over, smiled and joked to Yu Shu: "It's a good thing you are a woman, otherwise I would have asked you to take two back. These are like flowers and jade."  Beauty, but only men know how to cherish beauty." Yu Shu pursed her lips with a half-smile, and there was no emotion or anger on her face.  Queen Mother Wei knew that she and Xue Rui were engaged, but she still provoked her face to face like this. These "beauties" were the intimidation given to her by Queen Mother Wei.  This method is not clever, but it can disgust people and make her unhappy.  "Take them all down, freshen up, and send them out of the palace." The Queen Mother said, but the maids couldn't even say "no", so they thanked me obediently, leaned over and walked out.  Yu Shu didn¡¯t look at them twice from beginning to end, so she missed when one of them quietly raised his head to look at her.  Those eyes filled with resentment.  "The Ai family is tired. You should go out of the palace. Don't forget to explain your affairs and draw up the charter as soon as possible." Empress Dowager Wei's goal was achieved. She closed her eyes and leaned back on the pillow, too lazy to say anything else.  Yu Shu excused himself in a low voice and quietly exited the palace. When he arrived outside Cining Palace, he turned around and saw the group of palace maids who had not gone far. She turned around and walked slowly on the palace road with her hands behind her back.  What she was thinking in her heart was that she knew that Queen Mother Wei was not easy to mess with.  But the Queen Mother didn't know that she was not easy to mess with.  *** Xue Rui took the initiative to hand over his military power. In addition to giving him the title of Prince, Emperor Yan also gave him the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and concurrently served as the Bachelor of Wenhua Palace.  Presided over the compilation of Dayan Code of Laws.  A series of names were thrown at him for free.  I wish I could use him as ten people.  His Highness Prince Ping has undoubtedly become the most popular person in front of the emperor, which has aroused envy, jealousy and hatred among a group of people in the court, while another group of people are trying their best to curry favor with him.  I hope I can be close to his mountain and enjoy the shade under the big tree.  Those officials who were good at sneaking into the camp asked around about King Ping's preferences, thinking that they could cater to him.  It was rumored that His Highness Prince Ping liked to drink, so some people gave him the wine they had collected for many years, and some even gave him the recipe for making wine.  It is said that His Highness Prince Ping is not flirtatious with women. Some people do not believe this evil. If he is not flirtatious with women, it must be that his beauty is not attractive enough. The most indispensable thing in Anling City is all kinds of charming beauties. There will always be someone who can impress Prince Ping.  Hearty.  Xue Rui's Ping Prince's Mansion is still under renovation, and he is currently living in Dingbo Pavilion. The gate is surrounded by carriages and horses delivering gifts all day long, which annoys him so much that he directly invites the newly appointed Jinwu Guard Commander to reprimand him.  , so the next day there was silence in front of the Dingbo Pavilion. If anyone blocked the door, they would be arrested and interrogated as unruly persons by the patrolling guards in the city.  That evening, Xue Rui returned to Dingbo Pavilion with a thick stack of files. It was imminent to revise the law. Fortunately, the previous dynasty already had a complete code of law for reference. Otherwise, he would have spent ten or eight years on it.  He wouldn't accept this drudgery.  At the end of summer, it gets much cooler at night. The iceberg placed in the study was removed, leaving behind a large blue and white fish tank. The water hibiscus in the tank bloomed and withered, and a bunch of green leaves formed on the bed.  Each small and exquisite lotus pod is as if carved from jade.  Xue Rui had just taken a shower. He was lying on the recliner with his bare chest and only a pair of medium pants. He was playing with the Mujiang fan that Yu Shu gave him. He always put it in the fan case with care and took it with him wherever he went.  However, after all these years, the fan is still 90% new, only the amethyst pendant hanging below it became shiny when he rubbed it.  This Mujiang fan made of centuries-old peach tree roots is indeed a treasure that can ward off evil spirits. He fought on the battlefield and killed countless souls with his sword, but he did not lose his mind because of it, and no evil ghost dared to harass him in his dreams.  , mostly because he carries it with him.  After taking a short break, outside a screen, your uncle was reporting on chores, focusing on the important things first.  That's right, after Xue Rui returned to Beijing, as soon as he settled down, he went to Nanlin Timber Store to pick up your uncle and asked this loyal old servant to act as housekeeper.  Your uncle had been looking forward to it day and night, and he finally hoped that Xue Rui would come back safely, so he would not refuse.  Xue Rui thought long-term. He and Yu Shu were both important ministers in the court, and they would have to go in and out together when they got married. There must be at least two trustworthy slaves in the house to take care of the government affairs on their behalf, otherwise it would be trivial.  Xiao ?You have to look to them to make the decision, and you won¡¯t be able to survive that day.  He chose a noble uncle, and Yu Shu picked another person. The two sides restrained each other to prevent one person from becoming dominant. This was the safest thing to do.  Guibert put the four beauties admired by the Queen Mother at the end before speaking. When he saw the lying figure on the screen sitting up straight, he could imagine the annoyance on his prince's face.  Precaution, I failed to prevent it in the end, this matter will be spread to Miss Yu¡¯s ears, I¡¯m not sure why people will be angry.  The noble uncle secretly shook his head. Xue Rui had no choice but to flee back then and asked Yu Shu to bring him a message and the purple jade bat. He could only stay in the capital to guard his master's property and the future mistress.  Therefore, he has long regarded Yu Shu as his mistress. Knowing how difficult it has been for her these past years, he is very partial to her in his heart.  "Send it back to where it came from." Xue Rui was upset. He was waiting for the emperor to grant him a marriage, and the queen mother was making trouble.  The noble uncle had no choice but to persuade: "Those are the people rewarded by the Queen Mother. You can't resist the decree. The old slave has sent them to the side courtyard. They won't be an eyesore to you. We will move them there when the palace is fully repaired and keep them there."  It's here, okay?" "How could he have imagined that this Dingbo Pavilion was originally the territory that Xue Rui occupied in order to please Yu Shu, and he was going to give it to her as a betrothal gift, so leaving those women behind would be like occupying a magpie's nest.  .  "No," Xue Rui lay back down again, folded the Mujiang fan in his hand leaf by leaf, and said slowly: "You ask someone to find out. Who else has the Queen Mother given away to? These palace maids  Even if we divide it equally, we will send it to them, saying that it is the Queen Mother's grace that I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha." Queen Mother Wei sent these maids not just to sow discord between him and Ashu, but also to test his bottom line.  If he accepted them just to settle the matter.  It was tantamount to submitting to the majesty of the Queen Mother.  It has boosted her arrogance. If he takes one step back today, she may not force him to take ten or a hundred steps back in the future.  He respected the Queen Mother as the emperor¡¯s biological mother.  It would be fine if we can live in peace and harmony, but if the Queen Mother can't bear to think about it and reaches out to the court, I'm sorry he can't tolerate it.  Your uncle has taken care of Xue Rui since he was a child, and he knows his temper very well. He seems to be a polite and polite person, but he is actually hiding a traitor.  In the past, there was an old man Xue above him who was holding him back. Once he jumped over the dragon gate, no one could hold him back.  "Hey, I'll go and make arrangements now." The noble uncle swallowed his words, turned to the front yard, and sent two spies out to investigate. After a meal, he answered the question. It turned out that the Queen Mother had nothing more to do than go to the hotel this time.  He sent people to Boguan, and also sent people to the houses of Marquis Chengen and General Dai.  Wei Xihan, the Marquis of Chengen, is the cousin of Empress Dowager Wei. After Emperor Yan proclaimed himself emperor in Ningdong City, he was one of the first batch of officials from the previous dynasty to respond positively. Originally, he was just a thousand households in Suzhou, tied to the nepotism of Empress Dowager Wei.  Therefore, in the troubled times, he got a few percent of the military merits. This man was not good at fighting, but his luck was extremely good. If it were not for the fact that there was really no one in the Empress Dowager Wei's natal family to support, it would not be his turn to enjoy the glory.  As for General Dai, he was the former Paoze brother of King Dongjing, and he could claim to be his elder in front of the emperor.  As the saying goes, a tiger's father has no dogs, and General Dai's son is also a fierce general. He has a bold personality and is a few years older than Xue Ruixu, so he has some friendship with him.  Your uncle placed the four maids in the guest room that night, and early the next morning, he had them freshened up and prepared to send them away.  Pity these beauties who dreamed of flying up the branches and turning into phoenixes last night. They didn't realize something was wrong until they were sent to the back door of Dingbo Pavilion and got on the carriage. They immediately started crying and refused to leave.  How many of these women who came out of the palace are really stupid. If they stay here, they are still the maids given by the Queen Mother. They can put on airs. Once they leave this door, they will become the women that King Ping does not want. They will really be reduced to playthings.  .  "We all came out of the palace to serve the prince on the orders of the Queen Mother. We have eaten your ambitions. Why don't you let us off the bus quickly! Aren't you afraid that the news will spread and implicate His Highness Prince Ping?" One of the women was covered with a veil.  While the other three people were crying and shouting outside the carriage, the noble uncle heard it, walked to the side of the carriage with a sullen face, and said to the inside: "People who come from the palace don't understand the superiority and inferiority of the prince.  Is this what you slaves can talk about casually? Whoever says one more nonsense will cut off her tongue to prevent her from gossiping outside and ruining the Queen Mother's virtue." The crying in the car stopped suddenly, only that one.  The aggressive palace maid refused to calm down, and said with a stern face: "I want to see the prince, otherwise I would rather bite my tongue and commit suicide now to see how you will explain to the queen mother!" The noble uncle didn't expect that there was a thorn in this, and he wouldn't have done it on any other occasion.  I have to praise her for her backbone, but if she really had the backbone, she would have bitten her tongue and committed suicide when she was sent out of the palace. She had to wait until now to get Qiao, because she was coveting the glory and wealth of their prince, so she was reluctant to leave. ?"Then you can end it here," the noble uncle choked her, and then ordered his servants: "Come here, prepare a mat and collect the body later." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone in the car.  There was a "boom", as if someone had bumped into it, and then there was a scream - "Empress! I don't want it!" Your uncle turned around suddenly. He was not deaf, but he heard someone shouting just now.  "Empress".  He quickly directed the guards to open the car door, and saw the scene inside. A palace maid was holding another who had fainted and was crying. He leaned closer to listen, and she was calling her "Empress".  This matter is no joke. The noble uncle did not dare to be negligent. He immediately sent the women in the car back through the back door. After some interrogation, the truth was revealed. It turned out that the "empress" who had fainted was  "If it turns out to be true, she is actually a concubine from the harem of the former Emperor Chongzhen!  This matter was not a trivial matter, so your uncle quickly sent someone to Donghua Gate to report to Xue Rui, asking him to return to his residence to make up his mind.  At the same time, an imperial edict also arrived outside the gate of Dingbo Pavilion, along with Si Tianjian Da Ti Dian, who was ordered to announce the edict.  Yu Shu went out today and rode a tall horse. He specially changed into a purple brocade robe, with a crane feather crown on his neck, and black silk boots on his feet. The fireworks between his eyebrows were carefully painted with cinnabar paste, and two sword eyebrows flew diagonally into his temples.  Women are not weak and charming, but they are a hundred times more handsome than men.  Behind her were two teams of guards with swords, swaggering through the market, forming a formation and stopping in front of the Dingbo Pavilion. Those who didn't know it just thought she was coming to pick a fight.  "I have been ordered to deliver the edict and tell King Ping to come and listen to the edict."
