In Zhuangning Palace, the Queen Mother received the list sent back by the emperor and was so upset that she panicked.
Except for one show girl, the other show girls basically determined their status according to the previous dynasty.
"It's not a court matter, why should we be so strict?" The Queen Mother looked uncomfortable. This meant that the election was still insignificant to the emperor, and there was no difference between the beautiful women and the concubines in the harem.
But when she saw that Wu Fang'er had obtained the highest position, the Queen Mother was completely confused.
The reward she gave Wu Fang'er ranked third. It didn't slap the emperor's face, but it wasn't too much. It makes no sense for the emperor to determine Wu Fang'er's status in this way.
The Wu family had no success in the past, and Wu Fang'er's performance was last during the draft. How could they determine the highest position?
The Queen Mother couldn't help but recall that Wu Fang'er's words, deeds, and appearance were so beautiful that she couldn't understand why the emperor could make such a decision.
"Is this... a ghost obsessed with your mind?"
The Queen Mother was so upset. She could see that the emperor was interested, but not completely interested. In short, it was not the kind of interest she wanted.
From the Queen Mother's point of view, the draft should take into account the previous dynasty's considerations, but it also depends on the performance of the show girl. After all, entering the palace is considered a state matter as well as a family matter.
A concubine closed the palace door and speculated: "Is it possible to win the favor of Lord Long live by pretending to be stupid?"
She tiredly said to Nanny Qin: "The Ai family now understands what you said at the beginning. The emperor is indeed interested in beautiful girls, but not everyone, only a single beautiful girl."
Why don't you like it?
The Queen Mother swallowed back the rest of her words, holding the list in great distress.
And the Queen Mother will not just repair the yard for a beautiful girl, so it can only be the will of Lord Long Live.
But why does the emperor insist on appointing a good-for-nothing person to a high position?
The concubine was shocked: "She actually got such honor?"
It must be!
Otherwise, there are so many beautiful concubines in the palace, and there are many beautiful women among them. How could such a beautiful woman be the only one to be honored and favored!
So, what if they learn to do this?
There are also rumors circulating that Wu Fang'er's position was decided by the emperor himself.
Some concubines also thought of something and asked the palace servants: "Where is the other beauty?"
Moreover, his father Wu Dingbang is currently working hard in the former government, and neither his daughter nor her father have lost their lives.
"Hey, I live in Nading Pear Garden."
The Queen Mother sighed: "That's right. Just like I heard you say that the girl from the Wu family is very good, I have never seen anyone in the Ai family, and I always feel guilty. When I meet someone, I feel that this child has a good appearance and temperament.
, and she has great talents. You said that such a beautiful girl, the emperor..."
The concubine suddenly felt relieved and sympathized: "Living in Nading Liyuan is no different than living in a cold palace..."
Once may be a coincidence, but twice it must be the emperor's favor, and the meaning of this honor is clear!
The concubine sighed carelessly for others, and then couldn't help but look at the bronze mirror, feeling pity for herself: "Even if I have beauty and some talent, what's the use?"
When they found out that Wu Fang'er had been given the opportunity to live in Jinghong Hall, she was the only one in the entire palace, and people from the Shang Palace Bureau went to repair the yard and plant flowers and plants. The concubines were even more shocked.
These were all observed by the Queen Mother when she went to Yufeng Garden. During the election, she even further felt that this beautiful woman was outstanding.
One can imagine what this move means. It must have been approved by the emperor or the queen mother.
The Queen Mother tried hard to convince herself to accept Wu Fang'er. After all, the emperor was rarely so special to women. But as soon as she saw Wu Fang'er, all the psychological preparations she had prepared were destroyed and she had a headache.
After looking at it, she suddenly shouted: "Oh, please get the ointment quickly, my hands are rough."
I almost forgot, there is a strong enemy!
Mentioning another beautiful lady who had won the title of beauty, the palace people could not help but sympathize: "I heard that the beauty position was determined by the Queen Mother. She is outstanding in everything, so it was not too unexpected to be selected for the position of beauty, but...
"
The Queen Mother couldn't stand Wu Fang'er getting a high position. This person was really not worthy of publicity. If people outside saw him, wouldn't it affect her son's wise image?
But you can't refute the emperor's face, which is even worse.
The palace servants saw that their mother-in-law had a honey-colored face due to farming, and her fair skin had become a layer darker. The gold in the bronze mirror couldn't reveal the honey-colored complexion, so she didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly went to get the ointment.
.
Nanny Qin's mood could not be expressed in words, but she did not show it on her face. She said: "Your Majesty is right. Maybe it was from a glance in the palace that Mr. Wu fell into my eyes. It's hard to say exactly what happened between the eyes."
As for the Tingli Courtyard given to Lihua by the emperor, the Empress Dowager sighed and said it had not changed. She could not slap the same thing twice.
Concubine Qing accidentally knocked over the cup and let the hot tea flow down, with a dazed look on her face: "Jinghong Hall?"
Hongzhu hurriedly covered the tea with a handkerchief to prevent it from flowing to Concubine Qing: "That's right. I heard that the beautiful girl named Wu... Look at this slave girl's mouth. She should be called a beauty. She is the one who won the election this time.
The tallest show girl moved into the Jinghong Hall and received another generous reward from Lord Long Live."
In the end, after careful consideration, the Empress Dowager changed the status given to Lihua Talent by the emperor and assigned her a status of beauty, equal to that of Wu Fang'er, which kept the emperor's face in perspective and would not make the result too outrageous.
Little did he know that from the emperor's point of view, Pear Blossom deserved her title, and the little thief's performance was worthy of the highest position. It was just that she was given to the wrong person.
Previously, the team went to Qunfang Palace to meet Wu Fanger's concubine, and went to Yufeng Garden to show off a layer of light honey-colored skin. The expressions on her face were wonderful, and she was crazy with jealousy.
When the concubines learned that Wu Fang'er had been assigned the highest position, they exploded.
Yiyuan Hall.
When the Queen Mother saw that Wu Fang'er was given a residence in Jinghong Hall, she seemed to understand a little.
They had just returned from farming in the Yufeng Garden, and when they were so tired that their backs ached, they were surprised to hear that two of the newly-entered ladies had obtained the status of beauties, which was very eye-catching.
The Queen Mother rarely changes the Emperor's decisions, but now it is rare for her to change it and improve Lihua's status.
The Queen Mother couldn't understand that the most outstanding show girl was the daughter of Wu Dingbang. She was outstandingly talented, dignified and decent, willing to help other show girls, open-minded and good-looking.
"Just what?"
"There is also a beauty who won the position of beauty, her surname is Wu. At first glance, the two beauties have the same surname, but the situation of this beauty Wu is very different from that of beauty Wu. I heard that she was very good in the draft, but it is a pity that she was given the chance to stay.
It's the Nating Liyuan. I heard that the position of this martial beauty was determined by the Queen Mother. I thought the rumors were true..."
While talking, he cleaned up and called someone to wipe the floor clean.
Concubine Qing didn't seem to hear what Hong Zhu said, she was still immersed in her thoughts, muttering to herself: "I will never forget this startling glance, and my youth will be chaotic from now on, cousin..." But does this mean?
The sound was so light that it dispersed as soon as the wind blew.
After Hongzhu had packed up, she stood next to Concubine Qing and kneaded her shoulders, and continued: "My Lady, many people in the palace are going to congratulate Miss Wu now. She has an unparalleled scenery. How about I go and see it too?"
