Concubine all over the world

Chapter 65
What Li Muhan wanted to do was to turn all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty into his own.

Then, if the draft becomes necessary, it would be a good idea to bring over the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty through marriage.

Thinking about it this way, Li Muhan was no longer so repulsive about the draft in his heart.

After the court, he returned to the Shuangyun Palace, and he strode to the side of the couch, and took off his dragon robe.

Lianxin hastily walked over to take the dragon robe, took off the boots for His Majesty, and Shui Lian offered His Majesty some tea.The two men retreated outside to wait on them.

When Lianxin withdrew, she kindly reminded Hua Man'er: "Since I'm back, I didn't go there, so the empress spoke softly. Your Majesty actually wants people to follow him, so it's easy to coax."

Hua Man'er glared at the meddling little girl, as if ignoring her, but she liked this little spy more and more in her heart.

In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, early summer, Huaman'er was sitting at the table eating melons and fruits with Lianxin and the others to relieve the heat.

At this moment, after quieting down, Li Muhan saw that Hua Man'er hadn't come to pay attention to him, so he glanced over from the corner of his eyes, saw a pot of melons and fruits on the table, immediately jumped up like a conditioned reflex, ran barefoot in front of him, and took the pot of melons and fruits Pick it up and take a closer look.

Hua Man'er was stunned for a moment, looked up, and couldn't help raising the corners of her lips to sneer: "Does your majesty think that your concubine is eating the fruit of the heir again? It's just some ordinary watermelon, pineapple, plum, your majesty is so nervous?"

"Who said I'm nervous?" Li Muhan slammed the pot of melons down, picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth, "I just want to eat a piece!"

Hua Man'er sneered: "That's good! In fact, it doesn't matter what the concubine eats. If the concubine has no fate with His Majesty, she may not be able to conceive a child if she is together every day; but Your Majesty and the imperial concubine had a spring dinner last night. There is. You can get nervous about her."

After Hua Man'er said this sourly, she felt a little regretful in her heart.These words are too restless, too outrageous.

Unexpectedly, Li Muhan immediately said indifferently: "Hmph, nervous? No, I am not nervous at all! The audition is about to start. From now on, the 72 concubines of the Sangong Sixth Court will be the only two of you? You want to have a child for me. There are so many women!"

"Draft?" Hua Man'er felt a little nervous.

She had never thought about it.This fact came a little suddenly.

"Yes, the draft." Li Muhan sat down on the chair, stared at Hua Man'er sternly, his icy eyes narrowed slightly, "So, congratulations, Empress Empress, from now on you, the master of the six palaces, will be in charge of you." There are so many children. Presumably your childhood will not be so lonely, so that you will cause trouble every day and make me angry. Draw your organ map quickly, and when you are done, you should be busy with the drafting."

Hua Man'er felt chills in her heart, she was stunned for a while, and then said: "Is Your Majesty so anxious to spread the leaves?"

"It's not just for spreading the branches and leaves. Who doesn't love the beauty in the world? I have a few more concubines to serve me, life is more interesting, isn't it?" Li Muhan smiled deliberately and wantonly.

Hua Man'er was at a loss for words for a moment, and anger welled up in her heart.

Li Muhan looked at the change in her face and found it very interesting: "Of course, it's not just for this reason. Nowadays, the imperial court is either the old dynasty or the barbarian old tribe. The emperor is about to be emptied. It would be a good idea for the official daughter to go to the harem!"

Hua Man'er stared at Li Muhan for a moment, and nodded expressionlessly: "Yes! It's indeed a good idea! Then please Your Majesty, you must ensure that the rain and dew are evenly covered, otherwise, the harem will become more turbulent than before! "

Li Muhan gave a wicked smile meaningfully: "I have a good queen who is icy and smart, and I believe she can settle everything. What am I afraid of?"

"Hmph," Hua Man'er sneered, "Is this Empress interesting? No one listens to what she says, but it is suitable for a noble concubine to rule the Sixth Palace. No matter what she says, you believe it and listen to it!"

Li Muhan's face changed slightly, and he said angrily, "She's not suitable! Huamaner, don't take your hair when I need you. I promise you, except for the noble concubine, if any other concubine makes mistakes, I will let you handle it. If something happens , It's up to you to settle it, I don't have any opinion. I believe you will take care of the overall situation. You have this tolerance."

"Hahaha," Hua Man'er said with a smile, "Is there really one in this palace? Not long ago, who said that this palace has a low temper and that it is because of jealousy that the imperial concubine made people investigate the Qixia case?"

"Don't mention the past!" Li Muhan was a little impatient, "Hua Man'er, you are already my queen, you should think about me and the stability of the world. If I can't centralize power, the court will be disbanded in the future." Just break up, fighting together is not what you want to see."

Hua Man'er stared at Li Muhan scorchingly, and the irony on the corner of her lips became stronger: "It seems that His Majesty already has someone in mind."

"Well," Li Muhan also said bluntly, "The position of the three palaces, the empress is the middle palace, the west palace is the noble concubine, and the east palace can be the daughter of Fu Wenyuan, the right prime minister. Four were selected from the daughters of the six ministers, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Punishment. The other two were Jiang Wanshu, the daughter of Jiang Qin, the general of Fujun, and Ge Yiqi, the daughter of Ge Xiong, the general of Jianwei. Lu Zheng's girl was too young. Never mind."

"As for the 72 beauties, palace maids, and daughters-in-law, we will choose from among the daughters of generals, commanders, chief soldiers, and generals. Then please worry about it. You can decide the exam questions yourself. I believe you, no Any comments."

Hua Man'er was drunk by Li Muhan's big words.

No matter how sad she felt, Li Muhan didn't care.

It is a serious matter and a major event for the emperor to fill the Sangong and Six Courtyards. Civil and military officials and even the common people support it. Why should she object?
Hua Man'er could only pretend not to care, and nodded with a smile: "Okay! With these 72 concubines in the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces, His Majesty will be too busy, and the concubines will be free to concentrate on teaching the generals in the army." Formation, in this way, everyone will be safe, and the concubine and His Majesty will not quarrel."

Having said that, she stretched out her hands comfortably, narrowed her eyes and smiled lazily: "This really kills two birds with one stone! No, kills three birds with one stone! The world is stable, the court is stable, and the harem is stable, cluck, cluck, that's really great." -"

Li Muhan's eyes suddenly darkened, and Jun sat there with a frosty face, and said for a while, "Well, it's really good. It would be better if Hua Bao, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, has a daughter to marry."

Hua Man'er choked angrily: "I don't have a daughter, madam, do you want one?"

Li Muhan was stunned for a moment, and immediately teased: "Hua Man'er, are you finally jealous?"

"Ghosts are jealous? The concubine just doesn't like it. The draft is for power. Doesn't His Majesty have love in his heart?" Hua Man'er really couldn't figure it out.

"Yes, I love the noble concubine, everyone in the world knows, you don't know?" Li Muhan stared at Hua Man'er, looking deeply into her eyes.

Hua Man'er immediately stood up abruptly, and glared at Li Muhan: "The concubine immediately went to Li Zhiru, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to organize a selection! Let Your Majesty fulfill his wish as soon as possible! The concubine can also try to be quiet!"

She turned and walked out quickly.

Li Muhan looked at her slender back in a hurry, and a sense of depression filled his heart.

He stood up resentfully, and then lazily lay back on the couch.

For the past half month, he was exhausted, depressed for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Hua Man'er rushed to the Liubu office in the Meridian Gate, and Lianxin followed naturally to wait on him.Those six adults were all there, and when they saw Hua Man'er coming, they hurriedly saluted: "See Empress Qiantui, Qiantui, Qiantui!"

Although everyone knows that the queen is not very popular with the emperor, but because of Huaman'er's noble background, her own ability and her legendary experience, these adults dare not underestimate her.

"Pingshen!" Hua Man'er waved his hands neatly, and then walked to the first place and sat down generously.

"Who is Mr. Li Zhiru from the Ministry of Rites?" She asked loudly.

Li Zhiru hastily stepped forward: "That's the humble minister. I don't know what orders the empress has?"

"Well, Mr. Li, within five days, please report the portraits and names of all the daughters of civil servants and generals above the fourth rank, and bring them to the Palace of Frost Clouds to present to me in person. Ask your sin!"

Hua Man'er is simple and neat.

All the adults were stunned.

"This, is this too rushed?" Li Zhiru wondered.

"What's the rush? Instruct the various divisions to act separately, and let them report on their own. Afterwards, they will verify that anyone who commits fraud is guilty of deceiving the emperor. Come and see him, and he will be fine in three days. Five days is still the deadline for my palace to forgive. It's the same with you, if you don't report it for five days, I won't let you go!"

After speaking, Hua Man'er stood up and left, not even waiting for a cup of tea to be served.

The rush came and went, and the six ministers were shocked.

It is said that Hua Man'er is powerful, but this time I can see it with my own eyes.

The other five departments all helped to urge: "Master Li, you must act quickly."

Li Zhiru immediately smiled and said: "Then let's start with the adults, first report the daughter of your family."

Hua Man'er returned to the Shuangyun Palace and saw that Li Muhan was already asleep without a quilt on him. After thinking about it, she went forward and helped him pull a thin quilt to cover him.

She just pulled the quilt to Li Muhan's neck, when suddenly her wrist was strangled by a big hand.

Hua Man'er was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, her wrist was pulled hard, her whole body swooped down into the clouds, and her lips just touched Li Muhan's.The force of the impact was a bit violent because it was sudden, which made Hua Man'er's lips and teeth hurt.

However, Li Muhan didn't seem to feel any pain. He hugged Hua Man'er's small waist and immediately kissed her hard. a little too much.

"Ugh—" Hua Man'er couldn't help moaning softly due to the excessive turbulence.

He put his arms around her waist and turned over, and began to tear the skirt on her body...

Seeing this, Lianxin quickly put down layers of gauze curtains and retreated step by step...

However, she had just retreated to the door when she suddenly heard Li Muhan scream "Ah—"

Lianxin, Shuilian, Meixian and others who were guarding the door were startled, and they couldn't wait to go in to have a look, but bumped into Hua Man'er who was running away.

Hua Man'er didn't even bother to explain to them, she made a volley leap and flew onto the opposite palace wall.

Li Muhan chased after him, and stroked his mouth, which was actually bleeding.

His white undershirt was left open, revealing wheat-colored skin and a muscular six-pack.With a livid face, he pointed at Hua Man'er on the palace wall and cursed: "Damn bastard, it's been too long since you've been scolding and your skin is itchy, right? How dare you bite me? Come down for me!"

"No! You go back to Shangyang Palace to live! There will be Sangong and Six Courtyards in the future. You can't just live here. Protesting. You should go back to Shangyang Palace to live in the habit. According to the rules, you will |favor|lucky whoever you want to invite in the future to go to Shangyang Palace, and you are not allowed to live here with concubines."

Hua Man'er was upset that he accepted his concubine, and she didn't want to sleep with him, and she couldn't find any reason, so she blurted out such an excuse all of a sudden, but it was grandiose.

Who knew that Li Muhan listened, and also praised it for reason: "Okay! The queen is indeed a queen, follow the rules and follow the rules. Today, I turned over your brand, and I won't allow you to say no!"

After finishing speaking, Li Muhan flew across the palace wall like lightning, hugged Hua Man'er by the waist, and took him back to Shangyang Palace...

Seeing this scene, Lianxin and the others were taken aback.

It's funny when I think about it afterwards.

This matter quickly spread in the harem...

At that time, the matter of the emperor's draft was also aroused among the people.

Although the selection criteria are harsh, officials from the fourth rank and above are not available in Yidu.There are also civil and military officials of the fourth grade in each state and county, so the notice is also posted in each state and county.

The notice said that the Empress had five days to submit the portraits of the daughters and their birthdays and other information.Therefore, the time is still very rushed.Almost as soon as the notice was posted, those civil and military officials began to prepare.

Han Feng is wandering in Fuzhou. He searched all the way from Yidu to Fuzhou, but he didn't see Hongxiu.

At this time, seeing many people watching the new notice and discussing it, they inevitably rushed forward to have a look.

When I saw it, I couldn't help being stunned.

Li Muhan finally started the draft.One Shi Yirou is not enough, and she has to find so many women to add to her troubles, how uncomfortable Hua Man'er must be.

And the most uncomfortable thing, I am afraid, is to personally help my man choose a woman.

Han Feng could imagine how uncomfortable it must be for Yihuaman'er's strong temperament.However, he knew that Hua Man'er could only listen to Li Muhan in the end.Because Li Muhan was more powerful and domineering than her.

Han Feng was lost in thought, when he suddenly heard a "pop", followed by another painful "Aiyo" in his ears.

Han Feng turned around quickly, only to see a young man in ragged clothes stroking his hands and calling, his facial features entangled in pain.And his purse just fell on the ground.Obviously, this is a thief.

"Hey, you know that your purse was almost stolen? You don't have to be so engrossed in reading the notice!"

A crisp voice came to my ears again.

Han Feng looked intently, and saw an exotic beauty girl who looked like a doll in a fiery red dress, putting away a riding whip. Her aggressive appearance made people feel very cheerful and sunny.

Han Feng thought about it. In his memory, Huo Yanyan, his little playmate ten years ago, also had the same dress and appearance, and also held a riding whip in his hand.The girl in front of him seemed so familiar.

Is she really Huoyan, or is she a woman from the same place?

Han Feng bent down to pick up the purse, and then cupped his hands to thank: "Thank you for your righteousness!"

"You're welcome," the girl responded readily, then turned her head and said to the thief, "Hurry up and leave, you are not allowed to steal anything in the future, and you can earn a tael if you just help someone wash the dishes, why do you want to?" Do this? Throw me to death."

The thief said yes again and again, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run away in desperation.

Han Feng stared at the girl in front of him without blinking. What he said just now was clearly what he said ten years ago after he punished the thief for Huo Yanyan.

Han Feng was a little more certain in his heart, so he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the girl's name, but is it called 'Flame Flame'?"

The girl immediately said pleasantly, "Huh? How do you know my name?"

Han Feng was overjoyed, and cupped his hands and asked, "Miss, do you still remember that ten years ago when I went to the barbarians to find snacks with a brat named 'Han Feng', but was shot by an arrow?"

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then looked Han Feng up and down, and then exclaimed: "Ah! You must be that brat, right?"

Han Feng smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am that brat."

Huo Yanyan was overjoyed: "Great! I never thought you would become so handsome and chic when you grow up."

Han Feng was taken aback for a moment, she was indeed a woman from a foreign land, speaking so directly and heartily.

He hooked his lips into a smile, and said indifferently: "I ran away from home again!"

"Well, I also ran away from home again!" Huo Yanyan smiled, with a sad expression on his face, "Hey, Han Feng, why do we always feel sorry for each other?"

Han Feng smiled and said: "Let's go, we are destined to meet each other. Huo Huo Yan, I will take you to eat delicious food. You help me keep my purse, so I have to treat you to a big meal?"

"Okay, okay!" Huoyan clapped his hands and applauded, "I just came here to find delicious food. I especially like the exquisite food here."

"Well, let's go to this Piaoxiang restaurant nearby to order food." Han Feng pointed to a two-story restaurant across the street.

Flame Flame has no comment.

The two of them went upstairs to Piaoxiang Building and found an elegant seat facing the street, and Xiao Er immediately came up to order.

At this time, Huo Yanyan did his part, did his part, and said something, which made Han Feng's face turn green.

"Xiaoer, give us a table of delicacies from mountains and seas. Eight delicacies on top: scarlet lip, hump, monkey head, bear's paw, bird's nest, duck breast, deer tendon, yellow lip glue, all of which are indispensable. Eight delicacies in middle class: shark's fin, white fungus , Anchovy, Cantonese, Civet, Hash ant, Yuchun, skirt, also can not fall. Then come to the eight treasures: sea cucumber, asparagus, large mushroom, Sichuan bamboo shoots, red phosphorus fish, scallops, oyster yellow, All kinds of mullet eggs are available. Hurry up and make them, I'm going to be hungry."

Huo Huo Yan mouth slipped very fast, and he read it seriously without blushing or panting.

Not to mention Han Feng, even the waiter in the shop turned green.

Piaoxianglou is the largest restaurant in Fuzhou, and there is no way to get all the 24 treasures, and it has to be fast!

What's embarrassing for Han Feng is that his purse can't pay for these at all.

So, he coughed lightly, and asked, "That... Girl Huo Huo Yan, these 24 treasures, have you eaten all of them?"

"That's not true." Huo Yanyan blinked her long and curled eyelashes, and rolled her big eyes, "I just heard about it. Moreover, I made up for these things before I left the house."

"No wonder..." Han Feng sneered when he heard it. It sounded like he had recited it according to the rules.

Huo Yanyan immediately said seriously: "However, although I heard it, I believe you must have it here, so it is written in that book. I finally reunited with you after ten years. In the past ten years Combine the meals you owed me before, and use this one meal to make up for it, isn't it too much?"

"Not too much!" Han Feng replied seriously, "However, it's my purse that thinks it's too much. I left home in a hurry and didn't bring much money."

Huo Yanyan gave Han Feng a blank look, pouted his mouth and said: "You said that ten years ago, and you will still say that ten years later. If you don't want to treat me, say it earlier, I don't mind if I pay the bill. I have silver taels. Xiao Er ,Give!"

Huo Yanhao simply took out an ingot of gold from his pocket and slapped it on the table. In an instant, the glittering golden light attracted the eyes of the waiter and the surrounding diners.

"Hurry up and take it, what do you want to see, just serve it quickly." Huo Yanyan urged, and put the ingot of gold ingot directly in front of the waiter in the shop.

The waiter was too panicked to answer.

"It's not that we don't accept them, but we don't have these dishes. I'll serve you bear paws, shark's fins, sea cucumbers, bird's nests, and scallops, but the civet cats don't have anything..."

Han Feng ordered decisively: "Xiao Er, don't listen to her. You can arrange a simple four dishes and one soup, just serve it quickly. Go!"

"Okay, guest officer, come right away." The waiter in the shop responded crisply, and left with a sigh of relief.

"Hey, what's the matter? You'd be a fool if you don't earn money!" Huo Yanyan was quite unwilling.

Han Feng moved the ingot of gold ingot in front of her and said, "Put it away. You are a fool. You don't show your wealth. Be careful that the next target of thieves is you. Also, the 24 treasures you mentioned are just The ingredients, what kind of 24 delicacies should be made, does this small shop understand? I am afraid that only the imperial dining room in the palace can do it."

"Hey, you've been to the imperial dining room, have you eaten?" Huo Yanyan was full of interest and curiosity.

Of course Han Feng had eaten it.When he was young, Hou followed Li Muhan to hang out in the palace.Li Muhan ate whatever he ate.Naturally there is nothing that has not been tasted.However, now he doesn't want to explain too much to Huo Yanyan.

"Anyway, it's still my treat. I can still afford this simple four dishes and one soup." Han Feng smiled lightly.

"Okay," Huo Yanyan pouted helplessly, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the group of people who were reading the notice, "It's strange, what are they looking at? You were also engrossed in watching it just now, what happened? Is something wrong?"

"Today's draft girl." Han Feng replied.

"What does the draft girl do?" Huo Yanyan blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked.

Han Feng said thoughtfully: "Then what else can I do? Be the emperor's concubine, understand?"

"Oh, that means you can enter the palace? That means you can go to the Imperial Dining Room to have a look, right? Then I'll choose too." Huo Yanyan said innocently.

Han Feng was drinking tea, when he heard this, he almost choked...
