"Emiang, did you make this for your son?" Yong Lian has been studying in the study for a year, but in just one year, his body has already started to twitch, and he already has the youthful appearance of a young man. It is not difficult to see that when he grows up, he will look like a noble son who attracts little girls.

"Well, there are ten more days, which is the day when the draft is held every three years. Er Niang is afraid that she won't be able to take care of you at that time, so I will buy some underwear for you in advance." Xu Nian said, pulling Yong Lian to the small couch and sitting down. , holding the clothes on his body to compare the size, Yong Lian also cooperated obediently, "Why are you getting thinner again, isn't the slave serving you well?"

Fang He, the personal eunuch serving Yong Lian, immediately knelt down to plead guilty. Seeing Fang He who was four or five years older than Yong Lian, Xu Nian didn't even cry out, because he wanted to give Yong Lian a chance to show favor.

"Er Niang, recently Master Wu started to teach us archery. My son couldn't practice well at the beginning, so I wanted to practice more. I won't do it in the future." Smiling, "Fang He and the others are very attentive in serving, so don't worry, Er Niang."

"Okay, all of you step back!" Xu Nian waved his hands lightly towards Fang He and the two little eunuchs behind him, "You should be rewarded for serving the master with all your heart. Cuiyu, reward Fang He, each of them has a purse, bring Let them go down for a while, and bring them some freshly made snacks from the little kitchen."

After thanking them, they retreated. Before Fang He went out, he quietly raised his head to look at Xu Nian. Although he looked gentle and dignified, he looked at him with an aura that made him dare not look directly at him.

"Uncle hasn't come to see me recently? What is he busy with?" Yong Lian was eating a plate of strawberries on the table, probably a bit sour, seeing his eyes and eyebrows almost wrinkled together, Xu Nian Hastily peeled off a toffee stuffer and put it in his mouth.

"Your uncle works in front of the imperial court, how can it be so easy to enter the harem? He can come to visit us from time to time, it is already a kindness from your father, don't go further." Lianjiao's eyes are not respectful, and people can be in awe, sometimes it's not a bad thing.

"I understand, my son, thank you for your teaching." Yong Lian got up and listened to the training.

Xu Nian smiled and glanced at him, "However, your uncle sent in a good bow of one stone, which is suitable for your current use. It is hanging on the wall of the study in Dongnuange. Go and see if you like it?"

"Er Niang, I'll go and have a look!" As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, Yong Lian ran out like a gust of wind, Xu Nian looked at Yong Lian who was suddenly happy, shook his head and smiled dotingly.

-----------------------

"Your Majesty, the palace election is about to take place. May I change your clothes for you?" Ruyu said respectfully, holding a Jifu embroidered with gold and phoenix patterns on an ink background.

"Well, it's about the same time." Xu Nian was trimming the jasmine flowers on the porch, looked up at the position of the sun, got up and walked into the house.

Mingyu was holding the tray, on which were the golden scissors that Xu Nian used to trim the jasmine branches just now. She looked at the scissors, and then looked up at Xu Nianpinting's back. She felt that the queen at this time really had a mother. Yitianxia's posture and momentum.

Palace selection is a major event, if Xu Nian doesn't go, the queen mother should have something to say, and now the harem is dominated by Xu Nian alone.Xu Nian has a thorough understanding of the rules in this palace, just follow the rules so that people can't find the fault, who can find fault if you don't pay attention?

Follow the rules, but you can't let the rules die.

The location of the draft is set at the Yanhui Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Xu Nian supported Ruyu's hand, and as soon as he sat down, Concubine Ning Gao Ningxin arrived, and the maid who supported her looked very thin.Three years ago, when she was still Concubine Gao, the maid Zhilan next to her was cut off by Hongli's order, and the maid who was promoted later, she changed her name to Lanzhi, Zhilan?Laneige?Oh, it's just a self-deceiving comfort.

"Congratulations to Empress Dowager!" Concubine Ning's greetings were very perfunctory. She should have folded her left and right hands on her right waist and squatted slightly to salute, but she didn't even bend her legs. Gu Zi got up to sit down.

"Concubine Ning, I think you have to learn your rules anew!" Holding a cup of tea in his hand, Xu Nian looked at Concubine Ning with calm eyes, but Gao Ningxin felt chills from the bottom of her heart for no reason.

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress, the empress is blessed and safe!" The one who spoke was the concubine Xian who had just entered.

Concubine Xian is a woman who has engraved rules and etiquette into her bones. , Xu Nian got along fairly well with her.

"Excuse me, sit down!" Xu Nianchao smiled slightly at Concubine Xian.

Gao Ningxin stood in front of the seat, neither sitting nor kneeling. After three years of confrontation, she has been defeated repeatedly, and has almost exhausted the emperor's affection for her. If she hadn't been concerned about her father Gao Bin, and Ertai behind Gao Bin, the emperor probably doesn't want to see her again.

"The concubine is disgraceful, please forgive me, the empress." Seeing Gao Ningxin knelt down slowly, Xu Nian didn't cry out, drank half a cup of tea, and then slowly said: "Today is the day of the draft, It’s not good for me to refute your face in front of these beautiful women. Even if you haven’t learned the rules thoroughly, then I’ll punish you to copy the palace rules ten times to consolidate your impression, and always learn new things.”

"Thank you for your teaching, Empress!" Gao Ningxin tightly held the veil in Gao Ningxin's hand, she was extremely annoyed, but she couldn't do anything, bullying her superiors with humiliation, if the empress really wanted to care about it, it would be reasonable to drag her down to beat the veil of.

"Empress, this year's show girls seem to be of good quality, and some of them seem to know the rules very well." Concubine Xian smiled to ease the atmosphere.

Gao Ningxin didn't appreciate it, she curled her lips angrily, "Then you can't choose a bunch of crooked melons and dates, the emperor will be so disturbed after seeing it, and it will also affect the appearance of the emperor's heir, won't it?"

"Concubine Ning is worrying too much! I am drafting in the Qing Dynasty, which is different from the previous dynasty. I have to choose a daughter from a famous family with both virtue and virtue to serve the emperor. It is best to understand the rules and follow the rules. Otherwise, I will really suspect that their family is How do you raise your daughter?" Xu Nian said, and looked at Gao Ningxin meaningfully.

Gao Ningxin's hands trembled in anger, Xu Nian just didn't say clearly that she was uneducated and had no rules, but she couldn't reply, Xu Nian didn't mention her by name, the insinuation was even more annoying.The disdain in her eyes made Gao Ningxin explode with anger.

"The Emperor is here!"

"Excuse me." Hongli walked quickly in front of Xu Nian, stretched out his hand to help her up, and a gentle look appeared on his handsome face, "The queen doesn't need to be too polite."

Hongli glanced at the seats, and saw the look of jealousy and hatred on Gao Ningxin's face as expected, and his disgust towards her increased a little.

"Let's get started." To him, this draft was more like a routine. He helped Xu Nian to sit down, and then he sat down on the imperial case casually, propped his face with one hand, and smiled at Xu Nian. He ordered at will.

"promise!"

Li Yu called out, "Suochaoluo Yuli, the daughter of Dali Temple Minister Suochaoluo Daojin, is fifteen years old."

A tall and thin beautiful girl hurriedly stepped forward.

Hongli narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, said, "It's so windy today, it must be very difficult for her to stand up?" He raised his eyebrows at Xu Nian as he spoke.

"Your Majesty." Xu Nian pushed the plate of pastries at hand towards Hongli, meaning to tell him to shut up.

Hongli glared at Xu Nian angrily, pushed her to the pastry plate in his hand, and pushed her away with a fan, making it clear that he did not cooperate.

Xu Nian bowed his head and took a sip of tea, and didn't care about him anymore, just let him torment, as long as the poisonous tongue skill wasn't aimed at him, then let him go.

"No, it doesn't take much effort." Xiu Nu hurriedly replied, but unexpectedly, Concubine Ning chuckled, "Yes, Your Majesty, this one is a little too thin, and a gust of wind can blow people away."

Hongli didn't pick up on Gao Ningxin's words, she kept looking at Hongli with affection, but all the eyebrows and eyes were thrown to the blind man, Hongli ignored her at all, and Gao Ningxin, who felt bored, also stopped Not a lot.

Li Yu is the best at reading people's faces. When he saw Hongli, he didn't even take a second look at this beautiful girl. He couldn't help but stare at the queen and smile, and immediately said, "Put down the sign and give flowers."

A young eunuch immediately came up with a silver plate of blooming flowers, and the tall and thin girl had no choice but to take the flowers and leave.

"Gan Ruyu, the daughter of Qing Gantanglin from Shangsi Academy, is sixteen years old."

A handsome girl with a round body and tight clothes stepped forward.

Hongli laughed with just one glance, "Do you have to eat five meals a day?"

Xu Nian looked at Hongli in surprise, this guy's mouth must have been poisoned, calling a girl fat is tantamount to calling her ugly, Xu Nian patted the back of his hand quietly, which is too hurtful Self-respect.Unexpectedly, he grabbed Xu Nian's hand with his backhand, and there was a table in front of him blocking it. He grabbed Xu Nian's hand and couldn't help rubbing it. Fingers, fingers, palm, this guy was having a lot of fun. But he has the appearance of a gentleman.

Since it was the emperor who asked the question, she couldn't help but answer. The beautiful girl blushed and said, "Three, three meals."

Hongli turned his face away, and whispered to Xu Nian: "If the queen is like this, I also think it is cute."

Let me go, who are you cursing for gaining weight?This guy's intentions are sinister, it's really vicious.But the sweetness in his words made Xu Nian smile and narrow his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yu immediately said, "Put down the sign and give me flowers!"

"Zhang Jiaruhong, the daughter of Yin Zhangjia Sixian of Shuntian Prefecture, is fifteen years old."

A beautiful girl with a dark complexion stepped forward.

There have been two outstanding girls who have failed in the selection, and all the beautiful girls are a little trembling, for fear that Hongli will ask questions.

He held Xu Nian's hand in his hand, and slowly touched her wrist. Xu Nian's skin was so soft and smooth that he couldn't put it down. Looking at the beautiful woman who walked in, he asked, "You bask in the sun with soy sauce every day?" What about?"

"Ah?" This question is really weird, the black-faced show girl didn't know what she meant, she said ah, then shook her head in a daze, "No, I have lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, and rarely go out to bask in the sun..."

"The emperor said that you are black!" Gao Ningxin was left out by Hongli, but she always wanted to talk to him, and explained in a timely manner, "Why are there so many spots on this face?" Seeing the intimate appearance of the first two people, he secretly scolded Xu Nianhu Meizi in his heart.

"Put down the sign, give flowers!" The black-faced show girl was ridiculed and her face was flushed with tears in her eyes. After taking the flowers, she turned around and hurried out, with Li Yu's roll call behind her.

"The next one is Wuya Qingdai, the daughter of Taichang Temple Qing Wuya Xiongshan, seventeen years old."

After a while, a beautiful woman walked in, dressed in a cardamom green flag dress, looking very elegant.

Tingting was hired, her walking posture is very light and beautiful, if ten people walk together, others will definitely notice her at first sight.Now, even if she doesn't usually notice her walking posture, she will notice it at this time.

"Huh?" Concubine Xian suddenly asked suspiciously, "What is on this ground?"
