"Concubine Qi is still so quick to talk." Shu Jin smiled and glanced at Concubine Qi Li, who was dressed brightly and elegantly today.
Concubine Qi smiled a bit shyly, "My queen's fifth elder brother is the most noble among all the princes. Now that she is going to marry Fujin, I have to choose the best one."
The best? Who is the best?
This Concubine Qi is becoming more and more straightforward in her speech.
Concubine Xi's smile was a little forced for a moment, although she was well prepared - the Fucha family had such an outstanding family background, it was impossible for the concubine not to be tempted. But when it came to this moment, she still couldn't help but feel unwilling. Why should Hongzhou be asked to take the final step?
Pick the good one? He is neither a direct descendant nor a eldest son, and his bloodline is not very noble!
Standing at the bottom, Mrs. Fucha was already breaking out in cold sweat on her forehead. For ordinary people, it is a good thing for a family to have a girl, but if she is a beautiful girl and is noticed by two empresses at the same time... it is really not the case.
What a blessing!
Mrs. Fucha hurriedly lowered her head deeply. At this moment, the desire for honor and glory in her heart had long been overwhelmed by fear and uneasiness.
Shu Jin naturally noticed the nervousness of this little girl, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, she was just a little girl after all. The struggle for power and profit from above had put her in a whirlpool.
Today's selection looks like a blind date in disguise.
But in reality, they are the ones who can make the decision?
So today, Shu Jin was just going through the motions, so why bother to embarrass this little girl?
She waved her fan and said: "It's hot, all the ladies should go sit in the shade on the porch for a while."
Concubine Qi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, I haven't asked you a few questions yet."
What else can you ask? Lan Ruo has already reported that her family background is well-established, and her behavior and etiquette have already been reported. Do you want to ask what books you have read? Even if you have really read the Four Books and Five Classics, people will only answer "The Rules for Women"
, these crappy books on women’s training. If you ask me what I do in my daily life, it’s nothing more than women’s red embroidery.
It's really not interesting.
Shu Jin smiled and said: "Let them rest first, let's drink tea and enjoy the flowers."
Don't just keep your eyes on the pretty girls.
The east side of the Peony Pavilion is connected to the hand-painting corridor. There is a long beauty bench in the corridor. The beautiful ladies are led to it, and they sit on the beauty bench one by one. It is really a beautiful scenery.
Concubine Xi picked up the tea cup, but her eyes kept glancing into the corridor.
Concubine Qi couldn't help but curl her lips: "Hey, sister Concubine Xi has her eyes on some pretty girl, right?"
Concubine Xi smiled quickly and said, "It's precisely because I can't make up my mind that I have to take a few more looks."
Concubine Qi sneered and pretended, do you think you can win against the imperial concubine?!
After Concubine Mao drank the tea, she couldn't help but said: "Compared to Concubine Xi, the imperial concubine is really careless." - After a few glances, she was sent to the verandah.
Shu Jin said with a smile: "What's the use of just being interested in me? Everything has to be decided by the emperor."
Concubine Mao frowned, then what did you see when you summoned Xiu Nu today?!
Shu Jin slowly swayed the civet butterfly fan in her hand and smiled at the colorful flowers outside the pavilion, "The peonies are blooming really well this year."
Concubine Mi smiled and nodded: "Such wealth and honor are a good sign. The fifth elder brother will definitely find a good man who is virtuous and virtuous."
Shu Jin smiled and said nothing, why did he get involved in this again?
Concubine Qi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "In the years since Hongshi's marriage, there has been no movement from the Dong E family. Only the Tian family has given birth to Yong Shen. The heirs are really thin."
Shu Jin knew that there was no way to stop this kind of thing, so he nodded, "There are many beautiful girls among them. Concubine Qi can take her time to look at her."
Concubine Qi's eyes lit up and she smiled brightly and said: "I see that Wu Zaku's appearance is very good."
Shu Jin's hand holding the tea cup froze, a ball of wool?!
You really know how to daydream!
If she remembers correctly, Wu Zhaku's Ama is the deputy capital commander of the second rank!! In terms of official position, he is even higher than Li Rongbao!
She looked at Concubine Qi in astonishment, even wondering if she was hearing hallucinations, "What did you say?"
Concubine Qi's bright smile froze, "I know that Hong Shi is just a bald brother now, but he is not young anymore, and it is almost time for him to be ennobled by his branch. When the time comes, he can marry Fu Jin."
Things that haven’t happened yet, you should have thought about it in advance!
Still looking at Fujin?!
It is true that the family background of Xiang Fujin who is granted marriage by imperial decree is usually not too low, but he must be favored and be a noble prince!!
Concubine Xi on the side couldn't help but ridicule: "Sister Concubine Qi, your vision is really not low. That Wu Zhaku is the daughter of the vice-capital with a red flag. With her appearance and family background, she is more than enough to be a prince's direct descendant!"
Hearing these words, Concubine Qi suddenly raised her voice several times: "Oh, my sister, Concubine Xi, has also fallen in love with her! Then I won't compete with you!"
Concubine Xi's face turned red, why did she fall in love with her?! There was a better Fucha family out there, how could she fall in love with Wu Zhaku?
Shu Jin glanced at the corridor, and as expected, Mrs. Wu Zaku's face turned purple.
This Concubine Qi is becoming less restrained in her speech!
"Okay, stop saying a few words!" Shu Jin scolded with a dark face, criticizing this teenage girl. Isn't this bullying?!
Concubine Xi took a deep breath, filled with anger. Just a noble concubine, how dare Concubine Qi have such ambitions? The third elder brother is a bald elder brother, and Concubine Qi is thinking about marrying Xi Fujin from such a family background!
I dare not think so!
Shu Jin scolded Concubine Qi again with a dark face: "How many years have the third elder brother been married? Are you thinking of marrying him to Fujin?" - Look at how Dong E's family dislikes her!
"This year we will accept two concubines, don't think about the ones that are available!" Shu Jin said angrily. This Concubine Qi really dared to open a dyeing workshop even if she was given three points of color!
Concubine Qi had a look of depression and grievance on her old face. Her daughter-in-law was not filial, so couldn't she choose the one she liked?
Shu Jin rubbed the center of his eyebrows, that's all. This Concubine Qi has never been self-aware, and she didn't know it until the first day.
"The sun is getting more and more fierce. That's it for today. Let the show girls go back to Huifang Pavilion to rest!" Shu Jin simply dismissed the selection.
Concubine Qi's eyes widened: "I haven't chosen my concubine carefully yet!"
Shu Jin said with a dark face: "Today, I am selecting the show girls, and the fourth concubine is accompanying me! Concubine Qi, don't make a mistake!" - Do you think the show girls are just cabbage, and it's up to you to choose?! You bastard
You're just a foil! I'm just too arrogant to you!
Concubine Qi was slightly stunned.
Shu Jin had no choice but to say: "I'll ask someone to give you a copy of the list of show girls later!" - You blind audition!
After saying this, Shu Jin walked away.
The fourth concubine hurriedly got up to send her off, and the beautiful ladies in the corridor also stood up from the beauty, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Congratulations to your concubine!"
