A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine

  Chapter 156 Draft Edict

  He just wait, when she hits a wall, she will know that she is wrong, and then don't blame him for being rude. I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, do you think that you can mess around in the capital with a little cleverness?

   "Don't worry, Dad, I understand!"

   "Mother, my son has to leave first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Go ahead."

   Qi Shi and Xie Yunqian also hurriedly followed.

  Old lady Xie was so angry that she complained and scolded, while Su Shi and Xie Yunshu comforted her repeatedly.

   On the second day after returning from Lingyu Temple, the emperor issued a decree, and the entire capital was blown up.

  The emperor issued a decree for the draft in early March of the next year. Counting from the date of the imperial decree, all unmarried women who are above the age of 14 and under the age of 18 must participate.

  For other provinces, the province is the unit, and each province selects a certain number of women who are the best among them according to the imperial edict, and the age requirement is within 17 years old.

  This is in consideration of the situation in other provinces. For example, there are fewer places in the Northwest, and more beautiful places in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, there are more places.

  The emperor has not drafted for ten years, and without any warning, he suddenly restarted the matter, which naturally caused an uproar.

   What's more, in this draft, the harem is incidentally filled, mainly for princes, princes, some clan sons, and a small number of princes from the families of powerful and important ministers.

   Now, every household is in motion, asking for news one after another.

  The mother and concubine of the princes were in chaos for a few days.

   They were all in shock, not knowing why the emperor suddenly made such a decree, which disrupted all their plans.

  Although after some manipulations, they can still marry the chosen daughter-in-law, but it is hard to say whether any accidents will happen.

   More importantly, it is impossible for them to manipulate the candidate for the crown princess. This must be chosen by the emperor himself.

  Thinking about it this way, Concubine Xiang, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Shu in the harem felt very sorry.

  But soon, they all adjusted their mentality. Who knows what will happen during the draft? Let's see, there may not be no chance.

  In the capital city, there are various families who are suitable for the draft conditions, and they are also in a hurry. Some families are happy and some are sad, but the thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and the imperial edict has been issued, so they must abide by it no matter what.

   Those who are determined to seize the opportunity to climb the dragon and become the phoenix have already begun to choose clothes materials, make jewelry, hire various teachers of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to teach their girls to strengthen their training.

  According to the requirements of the imperial decree, Xie Yunshu and Xie Yunqian, the two ladies of Pingbeihou's residence, will participate in next year's draft.

  Qi and Xie Yunqian were very happy, this way they can compete for the position of the third concubine, everyone competes fairly, and there is no need to shy away from Lu Mingyan.

  Xie Yunqian is full of confidence. The third prince clearly likes her, so he will definitely find a way to ask the emperor to marry her.

  Xie Yunshu was a little dazed, she never thought that such a thing would happen to her one day!

  The Su family is very happy, this way, her daughter will have a chance to be accused of a good marriage. So she doesn't have to worry.

   Xie Yunshu is not as optimistic as her mother, but she didn't pour cold water on her either. Let's just watch and talk later

  The next day was the day when I made an appointment with the crown prince to meet at Qingyun Garden by the Kowloon Lake. Xie Yunshu went out after breakfast, planning to go to Yangliu Lane to see the progress of the construction period, and then go to Qingyun Garden.

  Yangliu Lane is already bustling, the Qingyun Bridge has been completed and the shops are already undergoing final decoration.

  Xie Yunshu took Qingqing to look at it, very happy.

  When Du Ayan saw her, he quickly came up to greet her, and said with a smile: "Missy came just in time, and I just wanted to report to Missy, please make a good date for the opening of Missy! There are three more days here and it will be fine."

  Xie Yunshu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work! I'll check the day and tell you when I go back, and you can watch the arrangements for other things. Is there any good publicity in the past few days?"

Du Ayan agreed, and nodded again and again: "Many people have been hired to spread the word in this area, and now everyone in this area knows that the owner of Qingyun Gourmet Shop has built this Qingyun Bridge to benefit the people, and also heard that Qingyun Gourmet Shop The restaurant will open in the near future, and there will be dozens of snacks and delicacies on sale that have never been seen in the capital. Everyone is waiting! Many people have deliberately turned over these days. When they see our place, there is no one who is not curious and does not look forward to it. Miss, don't worry, when it opens, there will be a lot of guests and a lot of money, haha!"

  Xie Yunshu and Qingqing both laughed at what they said.

  Xie Yunshu was full of confidence, and smiled brightly: "That's inevitable, just wait and see, our Qingyun Food Shop is definitely a place to make a lot of money! You work hard, keep an eye on it, and send someone to the house if you have anything to say."

   "Yes, miss!"

  Xie Yunshu wasn't worried at all that she wouldn't be able to attract customers. The first step was to promote it in a large area around here. After a few days, it was on the right track and everyone adjusted and became orderly.

  The food is delicious, so don't worry about it getting busier and busier, and the business is getting better and better.

   Dallyed for a while, watching the sun rise high, and it would be noon if we didn't go.

  Xie Yunshu adjusted her clothes and hair, got back into the carriage, and went to Qingyun Garden.

  An Tong and Biqiao didn't come with them, and went to the house in Yuhu Hutong to teach how to make snacks.

  Arrived at Qingyunyuan, Xie Yunshu asked Qingqing to wait in the lobby, and the clerk came up to ask her, asked her identity, and politely led her upstairs.

  It is still the private room from last time. The crown prince is wearing a moon-white robe with tufted flowers and a jade crown with his hair tied up. He is sipping authentic tea in a leisurely manner. There is no one else in the private room except him.

  Xie Yunshu pushed the door open and came in, looking at each other, the crown prince got up and nodded with a smile: "Miss Xie!"

  Xie Yunshu was about to salute, but the crown prince raised his hand: "There are no outsiders, you are welcome."

   "Yes" Xie Yunshu felt a little peaceful in her heart, but was still a little restrained.

  The crown prince understood and was very gentle. He asked her to sit down and poured tea for her: "This is the top-quality Qi Hongxiang snail that Gu Cong brought from the palace. It tastes good. Miss Xie, try it."

  Xie Yunshu thanked her with a smile. Seeing that the tea soup was dark and red, clear and clear, taking a sip of it was rich and elegant, with a faint orchid fragrance, which made people's eyes bright.

   "Sure enough, what the prince brought is not bad."

  The crown prince smiled: "Gu brought a can, Miss Xie will take it back after a while if she likes it."

  Xie Yunshu was taken aback.

   Tea is the betrothal gift, and the man who serves the tea is the betrothal gift, and if the woman accepts it, it means she intends to do so.

  The crown prince is pouring tea and delivering tea to her at the moment, Xie Yunshu always feels as if she didn't think too much?

   No, I should think too much, but it’s just tea leaves.

   "Thank you, Prince!"

  Xie Yunshu thanked her generously, but her heart was a little beating. Subconsciously think about this.
