.As the little eunuch came to Anhua Hall, I knew that Anhua Hall was where my father rested and handled government affairs on weekdays. Although I was not very clear about the reason why my father summoned me today, I had already made up my mind along the way to act according to the opportunity.

"Changluo, you are here!" As soon as my father saw me, he immediately waved to me and asked me to approach him.

Although my father was very intimate towards me, I knew the difference between the king and the ministers, so I quickly knelt down and bowed to my father, and then stood up and walked to him and sat down.

"I haven't seen you talking up to you for a while, so I want to say something to you for a while, so I've called you."

"If you have any matters, please tell me, and I will do it for you."

"What do you think about the Guangdong Censor today?"

I didn't expect my father to ask about this matter so directly. After thinking for a moment, I sorted out the preset plan I had in my mind and said, "I don't understand these things very well, but I think that Liu Ning, recommended by the three Yang Xiu, is a suitable candidate."

"Oh?" The father didn't seem to feel any strangeness in my answer. He picked up the ginseng tea with a strong ginseng smell floating on the table and took a sip, and said lightly: "Tell me what's the purpose?"

I bowed slightly to my father and explained, "Actually, I think that Liu Ning is a suitable candidate, and there are two important reasons. The first point is that Liu Ning is an old man. When the imperial court wanted to withdraw his vassals, I remember that Liu Ning had opposed it in a letter, and Liu Ning was a disciple of Lord Yang Shirong. He can be regarded as a loyal person to the court. I think his heart is available; the second point is that Liu Ning has a reputation of integrity and seems to be a capable official. I think his ability is within reach, so I am willing to recommend him as a censor in Guangdong."

After listening to my explanation, the father seemed a little surprised. He thought for a while, then replied with a faint look, and asked again: "Is there any other reason?"

For some reason, at that moment I seemed to feel a trace of expectation flashing in my father's eyes, and this expectation made me vaguely grasp something, but it was not too clear.

"Actually there is another reason!" At this moment, my heart suddenly jumped, and a thought came up very quickly, saying: "Once upon a time, my son and Liu Ning's son Liu Ziliang were classmates at Yingtian Academy, so they were considered as classmates."

When the father heard me say this, he finally nodded and smiled, saying, "I also like Liu Ning in my heart. I also heard that you and Liu Ziliang are classmates, so I want to ask you what you mean and let you give me an edict, which can be regarded as letting them father and son take over your kindness."

Although my father said something lightly, I immediately let out a sigh of relief. It seems that I have responded appropriately today. If I had concealed the part about my acquaintance with Liu Ziliang from my father just now, I would probably make my father suspicious.

Following my father's instructions, I drafted an edict for him to transfer the imperial edict to the Yunnan Censorate Liu Ning as the Guangdong Censorate, and then I dried the ink marks. Then I handed it over to the eunuch to issue it.

After what happened before, my father was obviously much more kind to me. He happily pulled me to Chuxiu Palace and ordered a close eunuch to come down to get a list, saying to me: "This time, the vassals have chosen many beautiful girls to enter the palace. Anyway, I have free time today, so I will take you here to see it. Well, "You can choose a few people today too! I know that you have been away from home for many days. I need someone to serve you."

My father's care for me is meticulous. When I heard him say this, I naturally could not refuse his wishes. I could only accept the order to accompany him to browse the list. I never thought that I would have a day to pick up women with my father.

The roster was extremely exquisite, and each page had detailed records of the girls, and there were also special painters who drew portraits of the girls on it. It was so diverse that it was dazzling.

My father looked at it twice, probably because he felt that the portrait could never be compared with the real person, so he put the album on and immediately ordered the eunuchs to gather these women and let us meet several times.

After a while, the first group of "Saint-Face" girls walked into the main hall of Chuxiu Palace. They lined up in a row, with a total of nine people, each of which was beautiful and beautiful, and it really made my father and I look at it pleasing to the eye.

I paid attention to the names of the girls who reported one by one, and at the same time I looked through the previous list and found that most of them were the daughters of officials and officials, and were well-versed in poetry, books, rituals, music, and painting. They were definitely not comparable to the daughters of ordinary people.

Three batches of beautiful girls passed by, and the father was obviously very satisfied with the quality of these beautiful girls. When he saw those who were more beautiful, he would ask for a few questions in person, which showed the emperor's romantic nature. I have always known that his father is a lustful person. Seeing these beautiful girls one by one, some of them were even younger than me, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about his father's body, and I wonder if he could still withstand the knife on the word "sex".

When I thought about this, I immediately didn't want to appreciate the beauty of the showies. I just watched the showies pass by one after another indifferently. From time to time, I found that the showies would glance at me one or two, with charm in their eyes. Maybe they didn't know who I was, and my appearance also attracted these showies.

"Changluo, after reading so much, can you choose what you like?" Seeing that I hadn't spoken, my father finally asked me.

I glanced at the beautiful girls and said, "These women are all beautiful girls dedicated to the father by the vassals. My sons dare not choose one step ahead of their father."

The father probably thought I was polite words, and then laughed and said, "I also heard that the concubines you married were all rare beauties, but it is inappropriate for you to have no one to serve you in the capital at this time. Well, "You go down and pick them up now, I will let all the girls come out."

I was so flattered. I didn't expect that my father would be so kind to me. Standing among the crowd of beautiful girls, I felt like I had entered the pile of makeup. When I looked at these beautiful girls up and down, they also secretly looked at me, and a hint of shame appeared on their faces.

I looked at it one by one, and I didn't dare to be perfunctory at all. After all, this was an imperial edict issued by my father to me. It was an imperial edict. I had to do it and pick out at least one beautiful woman I like.

Walking from the first row to the last row, I suddenly saw a showgirl who seemed to give me a sense of familiarity. I looked at her appearance carefully, but I saw that although her facial features were good, her face did not appear in my memory. The only thing that surprised me was that her eyes made me feel very familiar, as if I had known her for a long time.

I stood in front of the girl for a while, then turned behind her and looked at her. I found that her figure and back also made me feel very familiar, but I couldn't imagine where I had seen her.

"Father, I want to choose her!" I pointed at the beautiful girl and said loudly to my father.

My father glanced at my target and said, "This one has an average appearance, but her body looks very good, um..." While speaking, the father looked through the list and said, "She is Ruan Lingyu, the daughter of the magistrate of Bingzhou, Shanxi. Okay, I will appoint her as your concubine of King Rui today!"

As soon as my father said, before I could "thank you for your kindness", the beautiful girls all looked at Ruan Lingyu with envious eyes. At this time, they finally knew my identity.

Ruan Lingyu looked at me, her eyes full of joy. I quickly knelt down and thanked my father, thinking to myself: "It seems that she is also a smart woman."

After accompanying my father to look at the beautiful girls, I finally said goodbye to my father and took Ruan Lingyu out of the palace. The two of them slowly walked on the road in the palace with the eunuch who led the way. Ruan Lingyu suddenly approached me and stuffed a small thing into my hand as soon as he reached out.

I was slightly surprised and turned to look at Ruan Lingyu, but saw her passing me a look, which made me feel that I had seen it on someone before. I held the thing that Ruan Lingyu stuffed into my hand in surprise. I didn't open it immediately, because Ruan Lingyu's previous look made me know that she didn't want me to see it now.

When I walked out of the palace gate, the eunuch who led the way saluted me and took Ruan Lingyu to pack up his luggage and asked me to wait in front of the palace gate for a while.

I quickly looked at the thing that Ruan Lingyu gave me, but found that the thing turned out to be a small piece of paper. When I opened the piece of paper, there were three big words clearly written inside: "There is an assassin!"

I was shocked. Although I didn't know what the note meant and who the assassin was stabbing, I couldn't help but think of my father first. I didn't dare to pay attention to so much at the moment, so I rushed to Chuxiu Palace again.
