Nine hundred and eighty-nine beacon smoke from the backyard
For Mr. Guo, it wasn’t that the three beauties in the Western Regions were not pleasing enough, but they really looked even more pleasing.
Although Guo is blind, he is not blind. This basic judgment can still be made.
After selecting the woman whom he liked, Mr. Guo handed over the two beauties of the Western Regions to the inner court, allowing the inner court to undergo serious, efficient and excellent re-education.
We will strive to cultivate these two exotic beauties into high-quality and high-level outstanding harem reserve talents, be ready to find employment at any time, and from then on to reach the peak of our lives and change our destiny.
The remaining Western Region beauties are relatively large. Mr. Guo believes that there are enough women in the inner court. If there is another batch, a lot of money will be spent.
Mr. Guo has always been very strict with his own money bags and his expenditures are very meticulous. Suddenly, more than 100 people will be a considerable expense.
So Guo chose to leave behind ten more pleasing persons who were selected to serve the two who were particularly pleasing, and the rest were rewarded again to important ministers who have made contributions over the years.
Let them share the costs for themselves.
The emperor must also be careful in his life.
These subordinates are all rich and wealthy. It is much easier for them to have more women than Guo, so of course they have to let them help Guo share their worries.
Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you can get several foreign beauties according to the size of the merits.
The civil servants and generals who received the reward were naturally grateful and felt that it was a very happy thing for them to be in the heart of the emperor. Then they expressed their gratitude to Mr. Guo again.
This made the ministers in the court who had not received the reward a burst of envy, jealousy and hatred.
They do not like beauties from the Chinese and Western Regions, but from such trivial matters, they can see who is in the heart of the emperor and who is not favored by the emperor. The difference between closeness and distantness is particularly important in the court.
Especially after the Cui Qu case.
By the way, these beauties in the Western Regions are indeed very high-quality. They are all excellent seed players selected from one in a hundred. They all seem to make Guo, who is pure and weak but not beautiful, feel an inexplicable impulse.
But Mr. Guo knew that a man's body had a limit and that humanity's limit was also in front of him, so in order not to indulge himself and die early, he gave away all the rest.
As an emperor, it is important to protect one's life and health, and it is naturally very important to win over people's hearts.
As for whether such behavior will cause a new round of high-ranking officials, nobles and businessmen in Luoyang City to pursue Hu Ji in the future, and whether this round of peak will affect the whole country, Guo doesn't know.
Anyway, this kind of thing happened in the Han and Tang dynasties.
Not necessarily a good thing.
Of course, Mr. Guo, who came to ask about the specific situation after hearing the news, also had to show off.
At least you should slightly express that you don’t have too many ideas, so just leave two, don’t have more.
However, Cao Lan obviously did not let Guo pass the test so easily, and said that she wanted to see how beautiful the two foreign beauties were, so that Guo Peng could abandon more than a hundred other things.
Cao Lan himself did not think about coming, but he could not stop the instigation of other concubines in the palace.
It is definitely because of the instigation of other concubines, rather than what Cao Lan wants to do. This is worth clarifying and no objection is allowed.
There are not many concubines in Guo Peng's backyard, and so far, there are only six Cao Lan.
Cao Lan's status is very stable, the prince's status is also very stable, Guo Peng's ability to control the situation is very stable, so there has never been a fire in the backyard, and the concubines all respected Cao Lan's status as the official palace.
In this regard, Guo Peng spared no effort to protect Cao Lan, demonstrating Cao Lan's identity and status as the official palace everywhere.
On the one hand, it is because there are indeed not many people in the harem, and Mr. Guo is really able to take care of it, and he can't make a fuss even if he makes a fuss.
Moreover, they all have children, one or two or two or three. They usually spend some energy to take care of children and educate them, so they don’t have more energy to compete for favor.
It was six or seven years ago that Mr. Guo took a concubine for the last time.
In order to appease the hearts of the people in Huainan region, sisters Qiao and Xiao were adopted, Qiao Rui was included in the core of the rule, and achieved his own goal.
Since then, Guo Peng's power has basically stabilized, and he no longer needs to win over people's hearts through marriage.
So since then, Mr. Guo has never taken concubines again and maintained this scale. Until now, when he became an emperor, the number of wives and concubines is even worse than that of many senior officials and nobles under his subordinates.
After so many years of stable days, they have become accustomed to it and feel that they will continue to be safe and stable in this life, and there is nothing to care about.
But suddenly a group of women from the Western Regions arrived in Luoyang. It is said that they were very charming and beautiful, which made Guo Peng very moved. He specially asked senior palace maids from the inner court to re-educate and were ready to get them to work with a certificate at any time.
This made the concubines feel worried.
Among Guo’s six wives and concubines, Cao Lan and Mi Zhen are relatively gentle.
First, they are older and have deep qualifications. This year is the fourth year of Yande. Cao Lan is 40 years old in a few months, and Mi Zhen is 30 years old.
The two have a gentle personality and have been with Guo Peng for a long time. They have been favored by Guo Peng the most and know Guo Peng enough, so they basically do not compete or compete. They are relatively indifferent to this kind of thing and focus more on educating their children.
The other four, Xiahou Lin, Tian Rou, and the sisters of Daqiao, are relatively younger.
Xiaoqiao, the youngest, is only twenty-four years old. Although she is also a mother with children, she definitely hopes to be favored and paid attention to Guo Peng in all aspects.
Usually, he is a little more noisy and lively, so Guo Peng has to devote more care to them.
Of course, this is by no means a level of competing for favor.
Mr. Guo’s strength is from the inside out, so he is gentler to Cao Lan and Mi Zhen, two women who have been with him for the longest time.
Therefore, whether it is the Xiahou family, the Tian family, or the Qiao family, they all have many instructions on their daughters and should not act recklessly and make them look naughty, so that they can get more favor.
But no matter what, they also long for pampering.
Originally, Guo Peng was not prepared to continue taking a concubine, so they could still restrain themselves and maintain the status quo, but suddenly their opponents came from the sky and they were immediately uneasy.
Although they did not dare to come to Guo Peng to talk about this, they were also afraid that Guo Peng's favor would be separated because of these two Western demons.
Even if everyone has children, if one more competitor, you will naturally have less favor.
There are not many things to be content in this boring harem. The surprises and fresh things that Mr. Guo brings to them from time to time are their greatest expectations.
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if the two Western demons took away Mr. Guo's attention?
After all, everyone is sister in the same trench. If you don’t work hard at this time, when will you attack?
So the four of them discussed it and decided to temporarily put aside the dispute, build a united front, and went to find Cao Lan together.
Cao Lan has a fixed time every month to sleep with Guo Peng. Her son is the prince. She has a stable status and is naturally not willing to have any ideas about this.
However, in the face of the joint requests of the four sisters including Daqiao, Cao Lan also felt a little embarrassed.
"I heard from the people in the palace that those women from the Western Regions are very charming. No matter how you look at them, they are not serious daughters. They are best at capturing souls and charming people's hearts. They are really not good people. If these women are brought close to His Majesty, they may cause something."
Xiaoqiao is the most active in this matter.
"Although it is not said that the soul is so scattered, women from the Western Regions cannot know the truth, and it is somewhat dangerous. The queen must pay attention to this matter."
Tian Rou is more reasonable and asks Cao Lan to pay more attention from the safety aspect.
Daqiao and Xiahou Lin also had the same view, saying that Guo Peng should be wary from a safety perspective and not be so easy to get the women of the Western Regions.
Those strange women of unknown origin may have some ideas to approach Guo Peng. God knows what tricks they have to capture and damage Guo Peng's wisdom.
