No matter how old you are or what you look like, as long as you are in that position, you can get what you want at your fingertips.
Feng Yao looked at Xiu Nu, his eyes passed over the emperor above him, and he was sarcastic in his heart.
In ancient times, based on the age at which children were born at the age of fourteen or fifteen, the old emperor could have been the grandfather of these beautiful girls.
I really don’t know how these women can commit themselves to such an old man for the sake of untouchable prosperity?
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named the beautiful girls one by one according to their father's rank, and the named beautiful girls came out of the queue so that the emperor could see their appearance so that he could choose the one he liked.
Usually, if the emperor sees someone he likes, he will directly check it out on the list, stay in the palace, and after being favored, he will be granted a rank.
But today is different. Today's palace selection is just for the emperor to meet people and see their appearance, but their talents are the important step that can truly make them fly to the branches and become phoenixes.
Feng Yao has been observing the old emperor's expression. Although he was a little happy, the old emperor's expression did not change every time the beautiful women came out. Looking at the beautiful women, they seemed to have the same look.
There is nothing I like and nothing I am dissatisfied with.
Feng Yao couldn't help but guess, could it be that the new queen is not a beautiful lady, but a former concubine?
Since the old emperor regained his power, except for Concubine Li, who is still in recovery, and the concubine who is still somewhat beautiful, the old emperor has basically been equally affected by the rain and dew, and has not shown favoritism to anyone.
Who is this new queen? What is her background... Feng Yao is extremely curious now.
Because the two of them were too close to the old emperor to talk privately, Feng Yao could only transmit the voice into the secret and said: "Have you noticed anything weird about the emperor today?"
Yu Liu's face remained motionless, but after listening to Feng Yao's words, he quickly replied: "You want to say that today he will declare a new queen?"
Feng Yao chuckled lightly, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, his eyes passing over his head without trace. No matter how you look at it, it looks like that, doesn't it?
Feng Yao didn't reply. Yu Liu glanced at her slightly and said, "Are you trying to stop me?"
"I just came to watch a show today." Feng Yao said with a bit of nonchalance.
Yu Liu frowned slightly and said no more.
At today's banquet, everyone present basically had a wait-and-see mentality. For those ministers who supported the seventh prince, they were actually very happy to choose their daughter as soon as they saw it.
After all, Concubine Li could not please the emperor more than these young girls. By then, if she could compete with Concubine Li, then the Feng family would not be the only one in the court.
So both privately and publicly, this draft has nothing to lose for them.
The emperor saw all the fifty-seven girls who finally entered the palace selection.
In order to show respect for the Queen Mother, the emperor smiled and asked the Queen Mother beside him: "Does the Queen Mother like her?"
The Queen Mother kept playing with the beads, and raised her eyes to look at the women in the palace. Her expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "As long as the emperor likes it, it's fine for the Ai family."
After a pause, the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to pass by Concubine Li, and she said, "The most important thing is to be considerate."
Feng Yao raised his eyebrows. What the Queen Mother said was really interesting. She looked at Concubine Li and said she was considerate. What happened in the middle?
Concubine Li's expression remained unchanged, as if she didn't notice the Queen Mother looking at her, and said with a smile: "Yes, I think so too. It seems a little difficult for a girl of this age to pick out a few caring and lovely people."
