At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs notified all government officials above the sixth rank that each family must produce a beautiful girl to enter the palace to participate in the draft.
Yuan Anru's elder brother was a general of the current dynasty, his father was a tutor of the current emperor, and his grandfather was a bachelor of the cabinet. He was a well-deserved family of important ministers. The Yuan family has many heirs, but the entire Yuan family only has one female of the right age, Yuan Anru. Otherwise, Yuan Anru would never be allowed to participate in the draft. Yuan Anru is the most favored one in the family, but this personality is really not suitable, but thinking that this personality is not necessarily suitable for the selection, I feel free to let Yuan Anru go. The Yuan family is already powerful and does not want to climb into power, so I hope not to choose him.
***
Yuan Anru lost the election as expected. Generally, if you lose the election, you will either marry a royal family member, or work as a female official or maid in the palace, and you will not be able to return home anyway. Yuan Anru's performance during the draft was extremely poor, and no prince or prince liked her. However, due to the great power of the Yuan family, this palace maid was definitely not suitable, so they thought of arranging a female official for her.
The Queen Mother asked with a smile: "An Ru! Which palace do you want to go to?"
Yuan Anru: "Back to the Empress Dowager, I want to go to the royal minister's room."
Queen Mother: "..."
Yuan Anru explained: "Where there are many women, there are many disputes. During the draft two days ago, I saw that the little eunuchs standing next to you and Your Majesty were quite handsome, so..."
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time: "... It's up to you."
