"...I feel that Master Huiqing is simply too worried. My hometown is also in Zhuozhou, and I am willing to set an example and stick to Zhuozhou." Yu Wendong said firmly.
The reason why Yuwendong intervened in this matter was exactly the same as that of Gongsun Sheng, that is, there was also a woman in the Yuwen family participating in the draft, and she was the legitimate daughter of his brother Yuwennan - Yuwenjia. Now, the Yuwen family has no place in the harem, and they have suffered a series of setbacks recently.
, urgently needed a favored concubine to turn things around for the Yuwen family. Naturally, he couldn't just watch the long-awaited concubine selection being cancelled.
Of course, there is another reason. He has always known that Commander Qi, Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi are Yun Jingshu's people. He will naturally agree to what they object to.
After listening to Yu Wendong's words, Dongfang Chen's eyes brightened a little, and his tone softened a lot, and he said calmly: "Master Huiqing, I will consider what you said carefully. However, I will not treat you just because of what you say.
Having made such a big decision, I will send someone to ask Master Huiyuan to come and ask him face to face. If you come, take Master Huiqing down to rest and serve him well, without neglecting him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe that the Emperor is a wise king and will definitely make the right decision on this matter." Master Huiqing bowed to Dongfang Chen and then left with a young eunuch.
"Retreat from the court!" Dongfang Chen said coldly with a cold face, stood up, and strode down the imperial steps.
"Retreat from the court—" An Fuhai finished singing loudly and quickly followed.
"Your Majesty -" All civil and military officials knelt down and sent Dongfang Chen away.
The news that Master Huiqing went to the Jinluan Hall to request the cancellation of the selection of concubines was immediately spread and reached the mouths of the beautiful ladies. Immediately, some were happy and some were worried.
Of course, those who are happy are women like Bai Ruolan and Lin Wenjing who do not want to become concubines in the harem, and those who are worried are naturally women like Yu Wenjia and Gongsun Xue who want to be concubines in the harem.
So, throughout the day, the two groups gathered together to discuss the matter whenever they had free time.
Soon, those who were originally happy began to worry that Master Huiqing would be unable to withstand the pressure and lose. Bai Ruolan was quick to tell those people that Master Huiqing had promised to stop the selection of the concubine.
Soon, the news spread. Yu Wenjia and Gongsun Xue heard the news, but the final version they heard was: Master Huiqing was invited with a lot of money by some people who did not want their daughter to enter the palace as a concubine.
Yes, what he said is not true.
When Yu Wenjia and Gongsun Xue heard the news, they were very happy and sent letters to their fathers overnight.
The next day, morning.
There was silence in the court, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of Master Huiyuan. Master Huiqing, including Master, also stood quietly among the officials, with his eyes lowered and his lips moving silently, while chanting sutras and twisting the beads.
Soon, announcements from eunuchs came one after another from outside the door: "Master Huiyuan asks to see -"
"Xuan!" Dongfang Chen said solemnly.
Soon, Master Huiyuan, who was also wearing a bright red cassock, with snow-white eyebrows, big ears, and a rosy complexion, strode over. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed and saluted Dongfang Chen: "Amitabha, this poor monk pays homage to the emperor, my emperor."
Long live long live long live.”
Dongfang Chen looked coldly and said in a deep voice: "Without courtesy, Master Huiyuan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Master Huiyuan put his hands together and said respectfully.
"Do you know the reason why I came to you?" Dongfang Chen looked at Master Huiyuan and asked in a deep voice.
