Chapter 2870 Selected Together to Enter the Palace

Yun Dai was stunned: "Draft?"

"Why is the Queen so surprised?" Caicai said with a smile, "My son is thinking that it is time to add more people to the palace. There are not enough people to serve the emperor. A few days ago, a group of older palace maids were released. , there is no one around the princesses."

"Oh, if it's a small choice, it's up to you to decide."

"My son is thinking, why not take advantage of this opportunity and hold a general election."

"The election...is not a trivial matter."

In the past, there was a custom of general elections every three years. Girls between thirteen and eighteen were collected from the people and entered into the palace to be selected. The outstanding ones were selected as concubines and given to the emperor or princes. The rest stayed in the palace as slaves to serve their masters. , at the age of twenty-five, he was released from the palace to get married on his own.

Of course, there are also those who are used to the life in the palace and refuse to go out.

Twenty-five years old is not young anymore, and you won’t be able to marry into a decent family.

But there are also people who just want to get married and have children, and would rather leave the palace than serve others.

The palace doesn't force it, it's up to everyone's choice.

So far, the people around Yun Dai have left one after another, and the only ones left are Qing Yi, Mi Dou and Bao Xing, who are considered to be the senior figures in the palace.

They were all considerate, and Yun Dai couldn't feel any changes, but everyone in the palace was definitely close to her, and she would hardly notice anything missing elsewhere.

Since Caicai proposed it as the queen, Yundai had no reason to reject it.

"The matter of the general election has not been discussed in the palace for a long time. You are the queen, just discuss it with Yan'er. As the queen mother, I will not interfere with the affairs of you and your wife." Yun Dai said with a smile.

As a mother-in-law, she knows that too much control will inevitably lead to bad things.

Isn't it good to be at ease? Why bother with it?

Caicai smiled and said: "My son doesn't understand anything and is worried that he won't do well. It's better for my mother to help me. If my mother agrees, my son will go and tell the emperor."

"You decide for yourself. If you need my help, just ask."

"In that case, I would like to thank you, Queen Mother. I'm afraid I will have to work hard for Queen Mother." Caicai stood up with a smile, "My son came here just to ask about this matter, so I won't waste Queen Mother's time. Where is Queen Mother going? , Do you want me to accompany you?"

"I'm going to the workshop to have a look. I haven't been there for a long time. You'd better go and discuss the draft with the emperor."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Caicai helped her out of Fengyi Palace, watched her go away, and then turned and walked towards the imperial study.

After Yan'er heard what she said, she asked first as expected: "Have you asked the Queen Mother? If she thinks there are too many people and noisy people, she won't have to do the draft for the time being. There are almost enough people in the palace to take care of her."

Caicai stood next to him, polishing ink for him, and said with a smile: "I have already asked my mother what she wanted. She said that it is up to us to decide, and she can do it. I just thought that the two princesses would also Now that we are old, the maids around us will be released at that time, so why not pick a few of similar age to help them, so that the princess can be taken care of when she gets married in the future."

Yan'er was lowering his head to write when he heard the words and said, "Not bad."

"In addition, I also want to add some concubines to the emperor."

Yan'er's writing paused: "I will keep my father's filial piety for one year."

"I know, I'm just choosing first." Caicai said with a smile, "Sister Zhu is already eighteen, and she will be sad if she waits any longer. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to choose her into the palace."

Good night
