96: Choose a concubine for Her Majesty the Empress?
Wu Zhongxian's sudden comfort made the Empress almost stab him in anger!
Are you good at comforting people?
The Empress glared at Wu Zhongxian fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "No need!"
"Queen, you can think about it again, we are not in a hurry."
Wu Zhongxian said softly: "It just so happens that my wife needs to take care of herself recently. Once she has taken care of herself, if she wants to have more children, I am willing to help her through fire and water!"
The Queen: “…………”
If it weren't for her physical condition and her inability to move, she would have given Wu Zhongxian a beating!
How dare you say such shameless words to me!
"Empress, please rest first. I have some important matters to deal with. I will accompany you in the evening." Wu Zhongxian thought of the establishment of the West Factory and was about to leave.
"wait……"
The Queen subconsciously wanted to scream, but when the words came to her lips, she held back.
Wu Zhongxian has left.
Looking in the direction of the palace entrance, a trace of inexplicable loss flashed in the Queen's eyes.
Having just lost her child and Wu Zhongxian left again, the Empress felt empty in her heart.
Although she wanted to kill the fetus in her belly at first, she couldn't do it after all.
When she finally accepted the existence of the fetus and wanted to give birth, the imperial doctor told her that the fetus was not formed at all.
It even almost killed her.
The ups and downs made the Queen worry about gains and losses, and her heart was empty.
She was even ready to raise a child and even thought of a name.
But I didn't expect that it would be such a result.
"Why is this happening..."
The queen, who has always been strong, had red eyes for the first time.
She felt sorry for her child who died before he was born.
As she thought about it, the Queen's tears flowed out uncontrollably.
………
Leave the East Palace.
Wu Zhongxian specifically went to beat the palace maid and told her that now she was falsely passing on the imperial decree. If the secret was leaked, all nine of her clans would be destroyed!
The palace maid was so frightened that she cried.
Wu Zhongxian knew that she did not dare to tell anyone.
Even for the sake of her family, she would not tell anyone.
Afterwards, Wu Zhongxian went to Tianlao to select death row prisoners.
Naturally, the Prison Supervisor did not dare to stop him, and even took the initiative to help Wu Zhongxian introduce the identity and background of each prisoner and why he came in for the crime.
It has to be said that the prisoners who can enter the prison are indeed very capable.
For example, if someone rebels, the whole family will be arrested.
There are also robbery of official silver and so on.
Wu Zhongxian was selected from death row prisoners.
He also has a way of selecting prisoners.
First of all, we don’t accept people who commit adultery, humiliation, and robbery!
Even if such people become eunuchs and are released, they may continue to do bad things.
Moreover, the behavior of such people is difficult to control and they are not loyal enough!
But if you rebel for the sake of your family, or for food and drink, rob government officials, rob the rich and give to the poor, etc... such death row prisoners are the best.
Because they just want to live, and they have family and concerns in their hearts.
Such people are very obedient.
The first batch of eunuchs from the West Factory were identified as these death row prisoners.
If it is to be expanded later, Wu Zhongxian has also thought about it and plans to select some children aged six or seven to train them from an early age.
This kind of loyalty will definitely increase your loyalty!
Moreover, it is loyalty to oneself!
That's right, Wu Zhongxian didn't want Xichang to only serve the emperor.
What he wants is his own West Factory!
It was already midnight when the death row inmates of Xichang were selected.
The prisoners on death row were given a very sumptuous meal.
It's similar to rice with a dead head, no, it's rice with a dead bird.
After finishing this meal, you will become a eunuch.
They still have one last night of hesitation.
If you don't want to go to the West Factory, then you and your whole family, old and young, will die together.
Death or life.
These people rebelled and robbed officials so that their families could survive.
Now that they finally have the opportunity, how could they give up?
Even though it is very humiliating to become a eunuch, many death row inmates are still willing to do so rather than protecting their families.
"Now, go find the Queen."
Wu Zhongxian felt that time was almost up.
Today is probably the emptiest night for the queen.
Whether Wu Zhongxian can get into the Queen's heart depends on tonight!
When a woman is the saddest and most helpless, that is when it is easiest to enter her heart.
Everything Wu Zhongxian did before could not enter the empress's heart.
Because the Empress has always maintained her arrogance as the Queen of Zhou Dynasty!
From the beginning to the end, I thought Wu Zhongxian was just a eunuch and his status was not equal.
The door is wrong and the door is wrong.
This is the class gaze.
Even though the Empress is very kind, due to the different etiquette laws and upbringing in this world, even the kindest person will always accept the same rules.
Especially the Queen, who was born into a princely family and has been a princess since she was a child, naturally has a high level of vision.
Therefore, the Queen has always been proud from the beginning to the end.
To put it bluntly, I just look down on Wu Zhongxian's background and think that the two of them are not in the same world and there is absolutely no way they can be together.
There is no way to solve this kind of lofty thinking in the short term.
Unless she gets pregnant!
Let the arrogant queen be pregnant with the child of a eunuch who she previously looked down upon and thought they could never be together!
In this way, the Queen's subconscious mind will slowly change.
Let the Empress worry about gains and losses, then take advantage of the situation and leave an indelible impression on her heart.
This way the toad can eat the swan meat!
Although Wu Zhongxian does not think that he is a toad.
"Your Majesty has not sent anyone to monitor me recently. It seems that your trust in me has increased a lot."
Wu Zhongxian walked to the gate of the East Palace and did not find Zhou Nanhuang's spy here.
It's always been there before.
No matter where Wu Zhongxian goes, Zhou Nanhuang will know it in a moment.
But starting from the past two days, Zhou Nanhuang no longer monitored Wu Zhongxian.
Maybe it's because trust has increased.
Or maybe it was because the Qin Dynasty was about to invade, so Zhou Nanhuang didn't have time to take care of such trivial matters as the harem.
Her eyes were set on national affairs.
This is naturally a good thing for Wu Zhongxian.
Wu Zhongxian can do whatever he wants in the harem!
In fact, I have to thank Zhou Nanhuang for this.
As an empress, she is always aloof and never cares about her own harem, let alone the empress.
So Wu Zhongxian could only care about her, and he had the opportunity to take advantage of her.
"I heard that the draft will be held in two days. I wonder what Her Majesty will do then?"
The so-called talent show means selecting a concubine!
This is a grand event held by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty every other year.
Choose beautiful and talented women as concubines from the beauties offered by the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
This rule was set by our ancestors.
It is said to be to let the royal family spread its branches.
Therefore, no emperor is allowed to refuse to choose a concubine.
A draft must be held every other year! And at least three concubines must be selected a year!
As for why Zhou Nanhuang never had a concubine in the past three years...
That's because he hasn't established a queen yet, so he can't have a concubine.
The same is the rule of Dazhou.
Without a queen, there is no concubine.
If there is a queen, there must be a concubine.
Now that Zhou Nanhuang has a queen, naturally there is no way he can refuse to choose a concubine.
By then, at least nine concubines will start.
Make up for all the past three years!
Of course, the concubine selection activity was presided over by Wu Zhongxian, the chief internal officer.
Wu Zhongxian basically has the final say as to which woman to choose!
