"Since, Chen Qingzhi is so strategic. Then you go and seduce him and let him marry you. Wu Shuyuan said.

Xiao Wu thought to himself: How can it be? Isn't that hated by Chen Qingzhi?

"Why are you so hesitant? Do you think Chen Qingzhi is not handsome enough? Or do you think that his official title is not high enough? Wu Shuyuan asked.

". Chen Qingzhi is indeed a beautiful man. But does he look up to slaves? The slave came from a humble background. Xiao Wu said inferiorly.

"You don't have to feel inferior. Your Majesty will not be like that. This palace can let His Majesty give you a marriage. What's more, Chen Qingzhi is also from a humble background. He's not a gentleman either. Wu Shuyuan said.

"The question is, how can Chen Qingzhi look down on me?" Xiao Wu cried.

"This palace has investigated Chen Qingzhi's hobbies and living habits. You can recite and then engage with him. Wu Shuyuan said.

"Could it be that you want me to control Chen Qingzhi and let me send you information." Xiao Wu said.

"Yes. If so, Chen Qingzhi can become your husband, and you will have obtained information from His Majesty. Wu Shuyuan said.

"yes." Xiao Wu said.

"You need to understand that you also need to have a home. Xiao Wu. You are also my personal maid, and I rescued you in the slums. Shouldn't you repay me? Wu Shuyuan said.

"Niangniang, but, is it really good for me to deceive Chen Qingzhi?" Xiao Wu asked.

"You can't think like that. Things in the palace are not so simple. You may think that every concubine is so pure. In fact, they are all hiding filth. Wu Shuyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Wu thought to himself: Yes. Politics is filthy. Everything is uncertain. No one will easily tell their secrets to anyone else.

". I can try to get in touch with Chen Qingzhi. As for whether he can look down on me, it still depends on fate. However, doesn't he have a marriage contract with His Majesty's adopted daughter Xiao Rongjing? Xiao Wu said.

"yes. However, it is man-made. Can't the marriage contract be annulled? Chen Qingzhi originally married Ding Lingguang before. Wasn't it canceled by His Majesty? Wu Shuyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Wu thought to himself: Niangniang, although, I do love Chen Qingzhi. But I can't bear to deceive him.

Wu Shuyuan thought to herself: I must use Xiao Wu so that Chen Qingzhi can become my pawn.

At the same time, Xiao Yan hugged his third son Xiao Gang and said with a smile: "It looks smart and clever here, and he will definitely be able to assist the crown prince Xiao Tong." ”

Ding Lingguang said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to boast about him like this. Xiao Tong was unhappy. He's the crown prince. ”

"It's true that he's the crown prince. However, I feel that the crown prince also needs some crisis. Otherwise, it is easy to be pampered and lead to inaction. Xiao Yan said.

"yes. Your Majesty is wise. Ding Lingguang said with a smile.

She thought to herself: Could it be that His Majesty is still not very satisfied with the crown prince? Does he think that the crown prince is still unable to bear the burden of social security?

If so, the other concubines take the opportunity to toss, and the problem will be big.

Xiao Yan's words were quickly known by Wu Shuyuan's meticulous work.

When Wu Shuyuan heard what Xiao Yan said, she said to the maid Xiao Wu: "It seems that Your Majesty is not very satisfied with Xiao Tong. My Xiao Zong still has a chance! ”

"Chance? Empress. You're wrong. Your Majesty, you still have doubts about the background of the Second Highness. He will not easily appoint His Royal Highness as the crown prince. Xiao Wu said.

"It's fine. His Majesty still believes that Xiao Zong is his son. As long as Xiao Zong can make His Majesty feel that his son is teachable. Xiao Zong can also be the prince. His Majesty is in his prime, and he is only thirty-nine years old this year. It's a long time coming. Wu Shuyuan said with a smile.

". You really should train Your Second Highness well. His Majesty now only has a few concubines, so there are only three princes. If so, His Majesty will have three palaces and six courts in the future, and there will inevitably be more princes. If the Second Highness is too mediocre, it will be dangerous. Xiao Wu said.

"yes. Especially Nguyen Ling won. He was in cahoots with Ding Lingguang. If he had a son, the threat to the palace would be too great. Wu Shuyuan said angrily.

". Nguyen Lingying has a very high level of scheming. When he was in the East Dusk, he competed with Niangniang for favor. Now, she has become so arrogant again. Xiao Wu said.

Besides, Ruan Lingying, she has been looking at the mirror a lot lately, and Gu Ying feels sorry for herself.

"Since the last time, because of what happened to Wu Shuyuan, His Majesty no longer believes in concubines. Concubines are now the object of abandonment. Ruan Lingying cried.

The maid Xiao Ruan comforted: "Niangniang, you don't have to be too sad. Your Majesty is just still angry. ”

"Really? The concubine is worried that His Majesty will never come over again, and the concubine will probably die in the harem. Last time, the concubine was used by Ding Lingguang, Wu Shuyuan was not brought down, and His Majesty still favored Ding Lingguang. Ruan Lingying gritted his teeth and said.

She thought to herself: The concubines must get rid of Wu Shuyuan and Ding Lingguang.

However, Xiao Yan soon began to choose a concubine.

Xiao Hong presided over the selection of concubines.

At this time, he summoned his subordinate Zhang Gou in the Linchuan Palace.

He said to Zhang Gou: "You have also been working for the Lord for more than ten years. Today, the lord is already the emperor. This is the first time that the lord has chosen a concubine since he ascended the throne. If you can't do it well. Your mother doesn't have a big house to live in. ”

"Don't." Zhang Gou said nervously.

He thought to himself: I will not hesitate to lose my reputation, all for my mother, for my wife and children.

"In this way, you and Xiao Zhengde will go to the folk to choose ladies and celebrities. If Your Majesty can be satisfied. The widow can give you a bonus and even an official position. Xiao Hong said.

"Really?" Zhang Gou was immediately ecstatic.

He thought to himself: I actually have a chance to be an official. I didn't expect that I could also enter the official career?

However, Xiao Yan's choice of concubine was strongly opposed by Chen Qingzhi.

When he arrived at the palace, he shouted: "Your Majesty, now that you have only been on the throne for a year, you are choosing concubines all over the country. In this way, is it reasonable? ”

"I'm the emperor. Why can't there be more concubines? Concubines are not a big problem either. I have only three sons. What happened to the concubine? Chen Qingzhi, are you too lenient? Xiao Yan said angrily.

"It's not. Your Majesty. Aren't there three sons? Besides, His Majesty has six concubines. There are two who have children. There is no need to continue to take concubines at all. Chen Qingzhi said.

"I want a few concubines, what's wrong? Isn't a concubine a big deal? Xiao Yan said angrily.

"Really? I don't want Your Majesty to be a faint king. If Your Majesty is indulged in pleasure. It's all over. Chen Qingzhi said angrily.

He thought to himself: Your Majesty has only been the emperor for a year, and he hopes to enjoy the world. In this way, wouldn't Your Majesty want to be a faint monarch like Xiao Baojuan?
