Chapter 168 Different Selection Show

Yongzheng wanted to laugh a little.

Recently, as soon as he went to court, Chi Xia returned to Yuhua Pavilion to "work".

I heard from An Zi that Yuhua Pavilion was very lively.

Nian Fei often goes to Chi Xia to study the production and sales of new "beauty pills", "slimming pills" and "fetal protection pills".

Let’s talk about Zhang Ruoji’s treatment progress.

Concubine Yu talked about the expenses of the harem, the increase or decrease of personnel in the harem, and the preparation of banquets.

Originally, there was still one concubine Qi who didn't go very much, but for some reason, she started to come and go with Geng in Yuhua Pavilion for some time.

While looking at the note handed over today, Yongzheng chatted with her: "I know Concubine Nian and Concubine Yu, why did Concubine Qi run away to you?"

There seems to be no new conquering missions recently.

Chi Xia smiled: "Maybe it is because the main contradiction recently is the enemy-to-me conflict, not the conflict among the people."

Yongzheng: "What's the solution?"

Chi Xia spread her hands: "It's the Munaren Gege. I heard that I visited each palace one by one, but I sat down and stopped leaving. I insisted on pulling someone to talk to her and playing with her. They all went to my place to hide from the quiet."

Sometimes I don’t leave after I finish my business, but I even take some tea and snacks.

Yongzheng also frowned: "The Fourth Princess was not a very spoiled person when she was a child. I don't know why she was so indulgent to her adopted daughter. Today, another letter was sent to me to take care of Mu Naren."

"Maybe it was because she was not valued when she was a child, so she had a compensatory mentality. When she raised her children, she wanted to give her everything she had never obtained."

Chi Xia analyzed it casually for him, but he was very free and easy: "I was scolded by her last time, and I probably won't come to me for the time being. As long as it's not too much, I'll bear it. We won't have to go to Mobei Mongolia to negotiate with Russia in the second half of the year."

"There is no need to tolerate her especially." Yongzheng handed her the letter: "No matter how special she is, she is just a guest, and there is no reason why guests bully the master."

Chi Xia nodded with satisfaction: "I made an appointment with Concubine Yu in the afternoon and wanted to go back to Yuhua Pavilion."

He said he had made an appointment with Concubine Yu, but Concubine Qi also came together.

Chi Xia asked Hexiang to prepare tea they liked to drink: "It's a coincidence today, why are you here together?"

Concubine Qi sighed long and said, "That Mongolian princess has been to my palace for two consecutive days. Yesterday I asked how to put on makeup, and today I asked why the palace did not prepare goose yellow clothes for her."

"I told her that because your skin may not look good in goose yellow, she kept asking me how I could be as white as the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Yu couldn't help but smile, and Chi Xia almost choked with a mouthful of tea.

Her facial features cannot be compared with Concubine Qi, but her skin color may be discovered at a glance when she is pale in the crowd. This Mongolian princess is quite sensible!

Concubine Qi gave Concubine Yu a blank look: "I told her that Concubine Nian has cosmetics and whitening medicine, so she ran to find Concubine Nian."

Chi Xia looked at Concubine Qi again.

She suddenly discovered something!

Concubine Qi's facial features are not particularly amazing, but every time she appears, she thinks Concubine Qi is particularly beautiful.

Sometimes it is fresh and elegant, sometimes it is rich and graceful.

It has been seen frequently in recent days, and she discovered that Concubine Qi would match different clothes with different jewelry and makeup, and even fans, handkerchiefs, sachets, and even the outfits of the close-fitting palace maids would be "matched".

In short, it seems that everything fits very well.

If it is modern, it will definitely be a master of dressing and beauty.

Chi Xia was discussing with Concubine Yu about making winter clothes for the palace maids and eunuchs, and then turned her head to look at Concubine Qi, and had a new idea.

"Empress Qi, I think the clothes I wear every time are pretty good. Why don't you draw a few drawings and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to follow the drawings to buy us autumn and winter clothes?"

Concubine Qi was stunned and was a little moved in an instant: "Does the empress also think that the palace costumes are not very good now?"

Chi Xia nodded like pounding garlic.

Concubine Qi opened her mouth: "I think we can also distinguish the colors and styles of clothes according to different palaces."

Chi Xia really didn't think about this problem.

She didn't care what others were wearing. She originally just wanted to find something for Concubine Qi to do, so she should not be idle for too long and become so stupid.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Qi was quite enthusiastic.

She doesn't know how to design, but she trusts Qi Fei's aesthetics very much: "Then you draw more, it's better to make a few sets of particularly beautiful ones, so that the embroiderer can work hard to make them, and we wear them at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

The lighting concert at Mid-Autumn Festival last year was "hot".

This year, newspapers have been purchased and read more.

If you want to promote it in the newspaper, the emperor's concubines are all wearing "court style" dresses produced by the Textile Factory of the Interior Office. If you want to find the finished clothes of the textile factory, you will not have to worry about sales!

Concubine Qi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go back and do it now."

After saying that, Concubine Yu didn't wait any longer, she squatted and bowed and left quickly.

Chi Xia saw Geng's face was speechless, and smiled and pointed the seat map she was lined up: "You are an expert, I really don't understand this, I will listen to you."

Geng is versatile and knows a little about who has a good relationship with whom and who doesn't deal with whom.

I have to say that Yongzheng's vision of choosing concubines is really good.

A holy hand in the spring, a little expert in planting, a social expert, and a designer.

It would be better to have another accountant to help her take over the accounts of the Office of the Internal Affairs, so that she can concentrate on technology and tasks.

He Xiang was in a daze when she saw her send off Concubine Yu and Concubine Qi, and changed her cup of tea and stood quietly aside.

Chi Xia suddenly remembered: "Aunt, is it time for a draft in the palace next year?"

I didn’t choose last year or this year, and I chose every three years, so I will definitely have to choose next year.

He Xiang thought she was unhappy: "We all see the emperor treating the empress. Even if the talent show is performed, no one can go over the empress."

Chi Xia shook her head: "That's not what I mean."

He Xiang hesitated a little, thought for a while, and advised: "Empress, talent shows are the rules left by our ancestors. Even if the emperor is willing to make an exception for you, I am afraid that the empress will be blamed in and outside the palace."

This is a huge truth.

He Xiang has been with her for two years, and she has seen her rise from Changzai to the imperial concubine.

Obviously, she didn't want her to "do" herself to death, and said earnestly: "The Empress is in full bloom and she will soon have a royal heir to accompany her. Why bother to care about a few young girls? There are too many people coming and going in this palace, and you can't care about those who come."

Although the emperor now vacant six palaces for the imperial concubine, he favored him alone. But he was unpredictable. Who knows whether one day the emperor changed his mind?

Why can't the imperial concubine understand this?

"Yeah, I understand what you mean," Chi Xia saw that she was still trying to persuade her, and quickly waved her hand: "I won't stop him from the draft, don't worry."

But when the talent show is about to choose concubines, it is better to choose two capable female officials to help her manage the affairs. When she is old, she can choose to stay in the palace or leave the palace to marry by herself. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

In the future, society will gradually change, and with the social public opinion of equality between men and women, it may be possible to transform from a maid in the harem to a court-designated official.

Niannian: The people in the harem have almost been collected. Is it time to have a draft?

Fourth Master: Is it possible that the talent show was actually chosen for me?

Niannian: Don’t care about these details~ Yours is mine~
