Chapter 204
The eunuchs began to chant, and a team of six people entered the palace one after another. The palace selection finally began.
But Hongli seemed to be in a bad mood. More than ten people came over, but all they got was his shaking head in dissatisfaction.
The selection of concubines was originally for the emperor. From the moment this matter was brought up, the empress dowager took the initiative to express her unwillingness to intervene in order to avoid arousing Hongli's suspicion.
Qingying was just the leader today, so she was too lazy to speak.
Hongli said nothing and shook his head repeatedly.
Just like that, teams of people were allowed to pass by, and no one was given a choice.
But if it continues like this, it’s not a good thing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, Qingying handed the teacup to Hongli.
"Your Majesty, it's very hot in summer. Even though there is ice in the palace, I still feel a little uncomfortable. Your Majesty has been sitting for a long time. Please moisten your throat with a cup of tea."
Hongli took it and took a sip, saying, "They are all unsightly. It's really tiring for the Empress Dowager."
"I have nothing to do all day long. With you two accompanying me, how can I be tired? Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite to me."
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, her voice non-stop, "It's just that Your Majesty, I still remember that when the late Emperor was selecting the concubines, your Imperial Grandmother said something. Now that I think about it, it's quite appropriate."
"My son would like to hear the details."
"No one in this world is perfect. The Emperor must consider the future of his heir. Thinking about this now, I finally understand what the Empress Dowager meant."
What the Empress Dowager said made Hongli nod in agreement.
"Yes, son, I understand. Thank you, Empress Dowager, for reminding me."
"You are a wise ruler, and you naturally understand these principles. However, you are just looking at some people who are not worthy of your attention. You are not worthy of the emperor's concern."
"Yes."
Hongli lowered his head slightly, then looked at Li Yu again.
The eunuch who was summoning people below got the hint and spoke again, and then another group of people came in.
After everyone stood still, the eunuch's voice spoke again, "The daughter of Fucha Namuzhu, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, is Fucha Yixin, sixteen years old."
As soon as this voice came out, the three of them became excited.
Fucha clan?
Qingying smiled. After waiting for a long time, this person finally came.
She had long been curious about Fu Cha's plan.
It’s just because this person is really extraordinary.
Although Fucha Namuzhu held a low official position, his background was unmatched by ordinary people.
The father of Empress Fucha Langya was Fucha Li Rongbao.
This Namuzhu is the second son of Li Rongbao's eldest brother.
By this calculation, Fu Cha Yi Xin and Fu Cha Lang Ya are real cousins.
After Fu Cha Langya passed away, there was no movement from the Fu Cha family.
Qingying originally thought that it was because Concubine Min was in the palace that they were able to behave themselves.
I don't want to endure it for so long, I will eventually send someone into the palace.
Following the direction of the eunuch's gaze, a slender figure stood still.
She was wearing a light green Manchu dress, and the jewels on her head were not noticeable. However, since she was a little far away, Qingying could not see her appearance clearly.
"Your humble servant, Fucha Yixin, pays respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager."
He has a good voice.
Compared to An Lingrong before she was trained to resemble Chun Yuan, they are almost on par.
Hongli's eyes lit up after hearing this.
The Empress Dowager also saw what Hongli was thinking.
She took the initiative to say, "Yixin, that's a good name, come forward."
Upon hearing this, Fu Cha Yixin stood up and slowly took two steps forward.
Qingying narrowed her eyes slightly, but was able to get a general idea.
She has almond-shaped eyes and thin eyebrows, which makes her look a bit weak.
Before she could think about it, the Queen Mother said, "It's a nice color, what does the Emperor think?"
"It is a blessing for Fucha clan to receive a compliment from the Empress Dowager. Please keep the plaque."
"Fucha Yixin, leave the sign and give me the sachet!"
"Your Majesty, thank you."
"The daughter of Minister of Personnel Niuhulu Neqin, Niuhulu Ruyue, is seventeen years old!"
Fu Cha Yixin stepped back, and another figure knelt down beside him.
"Your servant, Niu Hulu Ruyue, pays respects to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager."
Although it's not as amazing as Fu Cha Yixin's voice.
But Niuhulu Ruyue was taller than Fucha Yixin and dressed more gorgeously.
But it doesn't feel excessive at all.
Moreover, Niuhulu Neqin was an important official of the previous dynasty, and he served as the Grand Secretary of Baohe Hall, Minister of Personnel, and Minister of Military Affairs.
