Chapter 277 The Peony Pavilion selects beautiful women
Although Shu Jin tried his best to comfort him, Hong Zhou was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child after all, and he was still unhappy when he left.
The strictness at Huifang Pavilion remained the same, and within a few days, a dozen more show girls were eliminated. When the number of show girls dropped to twenty or thirty, Grandma Jialan finally became lenient.
The show girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon of that day, Shu Jin had just woken up when Yongzheng arrived.
"I see that Hong Zhou has been a little sleepy these past few days. Do you know why?" In the past, Yongzheng would not pay too much attention to these small details, but now that the beautiful girl is staying in the palace, Yongzheng can't help but think too much about it.
Think more about it.
Lan Ruo gave a report the day before yesterday. Grandma Jialan has a keen eye and reported Grandma Tanlin's actions. Shu Jin thought about it and said with a smile: "It's not good for me, I accidentally let Hong Zhou see it a few days ago."
List of show girls.”
"Oh?" Yong Zheng's expression suddenly condensed.
Shu Jin said in a low voice: "The character of the Fucha family is really outstanding. However, Concubine Xi is also very fond of her. It is normal for a family to have girls from hundreds of families, but the Tian family is different from ordinary families. It is inevitable that the two brothers will have a baby.
After some discord, I gave Hong Zhou a few words of advice, and it turns out that there are quite a few beautiful girls this year who are both good-looking and good-tempered."
These words made Yong Zheng slightly shocked. Is Geng going to give in?!
It is impossible for Mr. Geng not to know who Mr. Fucha’s uncle is.
"You really don't mind giving up the Fucha family to Hongli?" Yongzheng couldn't help but look at the Geng family seriously.
Shu Jin nodded: "In this way, the six palaces can be at peace and the brothers can be harmonious."
Yongzheng's eyes dimmed, but it wasn't obvious.
Concubine Xi had become ambitious, and Yongzheng was not surprised at all. As for brotherly harmony... Well, if Hongli really married the Fucha family, I'm afraid he would have even bigger intentions.
It's not that this boy doesn't deserve to marry a princess from a wealthy family, it's just that except for the Fucha family, this year's show girls are not too outstanding in the family world.
At this moment, Yongzheng couldn't bear to favor one thing over another.
"Let me think about this matter." - Yongzheng looked a little hesitant. It was obviously inappropriate to indulge Concubine Xi and her son, but - the Fucha family was really virtuous, so it would be a pity if they gave up their reputation.
"That's right." Yong Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, "You have never summoned a beautiful girl so far?"
Shu Jin said with a smile: "After all, the emperor hasn't chosen yet, how can I choose a concubine?" If she summons a beautiful girl, it will definitely be to choose a wife for her son. And the first purpose of the draft is to enrich the harem.
Yongzheng was startled for a moment, "The imperial concubine is still meticulous, but I was negligent." - Concubine Xi went too far.
Shu Jin said: "The beautiful ladies are still learning the rules, so they are not in a hurry."
After the emperor has finished choosing, it will be the turn of the princes, grandsons, and close relatives of the clan. This is a rule that cannot be messed with.
As for Concubine Xi, she was too anxious.
Shu Jin applied the eye drops calmly.
A few days later, a decree was issued from the imperial court, granting the title of Nala and Hai to the beautiful lady, and moving her out of Huifang Hall. After Shu Jin heard the news, he quickly arranged a place to live.
This princess, who was born in a serious talent show, often starts out as a noble person, but it is rare for someone to get up by agreeing to it. Especially the Nara family is still a Manchu...
However, Shu Jin did not assign the newlyweds to a different position, but chose an elegant palace to live close to the emperor.
In this way, the emperor has finally made his choice.
Shu Jin can also choose to watch beautiful girls with confidence and boldness.
The day of the palace election was really unreal, but I can finally get over it now.
So she chose a good day and settled in the Peony Pavilion where the peonies were in full bloom. She also asked the fourth concubine to come with her to enjoy the flowers and have tea.
It's April, the peonies are in bloom, and the scenery around the Peony Pavilion is also superb.
When Shu Jin arrived at the Peony Pavilion in a gorgeous Zhai Yu, more than twenty beautiful ladies on both sides of the pavilion had already knelt down and worshiped. The four concubines in the pavilion also hurriedly came out to greet him, saying "Long Blessings to the Imperial Concubine".
This battle was actually not inferior to that of the Queen of the Middle Palace.
Shu Jin held the back of Lu Xue's hand and walked out of Zhaiyu, smiled and said, "Excuse me." "I'm late, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Concubine Xi greeted her with a smile, and when she was about to say something modest, Concubine Qi took the lead and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. To be able to accompany your concubine to see beautiful women in such a good place is to promote your concubines and others." Got it!"
Concubine Qi's posture now is very low, and she has also brought the other three concubines in with her.
Concubine Xi's smile did not change, "The sun is a bit hot today, so I'd better go into the pavilion to enjoy the cool air."
Shu Jin nodded slowly and then entered the Peony Pavilion.
The Peony Pavilion is very spacious. There is a seat and table for the imperial concubine at the top in the middle. Fruits, snacks and tea are placed on the table. There are seats for the four concubines on both sides. Even so, it is still very spacious.
Shu Jin sat down unceremoniously and called the fourth concubine with a smile: "Sit down too."
Concubine Mao, Concubine Mi, Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi sit on two sides, very symmetrically.
Shu Jin then looked at the group of beautiful ladies outside the pavilion. He looked at about twenty of them, most of them were young and tender girls, but they also had beautiful faces. On the day of the palace election, the beautiful ladies were in the sky. Today, the beautiful ladies were They all wore makeup, of course, it was just light makeup, but even so, it added a lot to their appearance.
Concubine Mao smiled and said: "This year's beautiful girls are like flowers, one is more beautiful than the other." - It's a pity that not many of them have outstanding family backgrounds.
Shu Jin smiled and said: "If you are far away, I can't see it clearly."
With that said, he told Lan Ruo, "Call in and let me and the fourth concubine take a good look."
"Yes, empress."
Lan Ruo was a smart man, so he lured some of the best women from the Manchu Army Banners and their families into the pavilion.
"Greetings to the noble concubine!" Five or six beautiful ladies all knelt down in greeting. This etiquette was impeccable.
Shu Jin looked at the fair and pretty little girl. She had put on a little makeup today, and she looked a little more pretty.
Seeing that the imperial concubine was sizing up the Fucha family, Concubine Xi's smile froze slightly and said, "Which beautiful girl has your sister chosen?"
Shu Jin secretly smiled, it was obviously you who caught the eye first.
Shu Jin smiled lightly: "It's all good."
Mr. Fucha also felt that the atmosphere was not right at this moment, and couldn't help but tighten the peony brocade handkerchief in his hand.
Shu Jin saw this and smiled to himself. No matter how dignified and steady she was, she was still just a teenage girl.
Shu Jin looked at Concubine Xi: "Is there anyone here who is close to Concubine Xi's sister?"
Concubine Xi forced a smile and said, "I have been dazzled by this for a long time."
Your eyes don’t have flowers...
Even Concubine Qi noticed that Concubine Xi was telling lies. Concubine Qi couldn't help but almost rolled her eyes, "Is there any need to be picky? In terms of appearance, the Wu Zaku family is the most provocative, but in terms of appearance, the Fucha family is naturally the most provocative.
The most outstanding!”
Shu Jin couldn't help but take a look at the beautiful girl on the left. She was wearing a silver-red cloud banner uniform, with a simple hairstyle, and her face was lightly swiped with makeup, but she was still bright and attractive. Even the Fucha family, compared with her,
The appearance is also a bit inferior.
Shu Jin couldn't help but nodded slightly, "It's indeed pleasing to the eye."
Mrs. Wu Zaku hurriedly blessed her body and said, "Thank you, ladies."
Mrs. Fucha's forehead was slightly sweaty, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Concubine Qi's words are serious."
