Chapter Seventy-Four: Mo Fei
Since the announcement of the news that 'the emperor will be established in March next year and accept concubines', there has been an endless stream of people who have reported to the imperial court for a while, so the imperial court has received nearly 1,000 lists in just a few days.

This can surprise the queen mother.
There are so many people, this is the first time in the history of Zhaoguo's draft.
Of course, there are also many people who are afraid that their daughters will be elected to the palace, because after all, not every woman who is elected is fortunate enough to be favored by the monarch, and if they are not favored, then they have to be lonely in the palace until they grow old, which is a very cruel thing for women, so they will make a marriage contract early before the daughter's marriageable age, so as not to be elected to the palace.
But there are also some people who are willing to send their daughters to the palace, because if their daughters are lucky enough to be favored by the monarch, then their entire family will also benefit from it, so they are willing to gamble even if there is only a one in a thousand chances.
Among this part of the people, the proportion of important ministers of the imperial court is the largest.
First, these important ministers of the court have all looked at Long Yan and know that they are very good-looking. Second, they are aware of their character and abilities. In the hearts of this group of important ministers, Jinshang is not only handsome, but also has high character and talent, and is indeed an excellent candidate worthy of the woman's trust. As for whether his children can get his favor, it depends on his daughter's ability and creation.
But in any case, as long as your daughter is in good condition in all aspects, it is still worth a try.
Therefore, all the civil and military officials took the initiative to submit their daughter's brochure to the imperial court.
On this day, when the queen mother was looking at the information of these women submitted from all over the country, she suddenly heard the palace maid report that Gong Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked to see her, so she immediately changed into a set of formal clothes and went to the living room to meet her.
Gong Yan was about forty-eight or nineteen years old, with a strange skeleton and a tall figure, he couldn't help but be outstanding in appearance, and erudite and talented, and he was deeply respected by the previous emperor and the present.
He first greeted the queen mother's body, and then changed his words and said: "I heard that the queen mother is looking for a candidate for the queen recently, I wonder if there is any agreement now?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Not yet, let's wait until the list of all places is submitted and then we will do the screening." ”
After all, what we want to choose is after a country, and the stakes are very important, so we should not be sloppy. What's more, there is still more than half a year before the final election in March next year.
Gong Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then cautiously asked: "The information of the little girl of Weichen was also handed over two days ago, I wonder if the Queen Mother has seen it?"
The Queen Mother actually saw it, and she had already included her in the list of options, but she still smiled and said, "The mourning family hasn't had time to see it yet, but since Lord Gong has come to ask in person, the mourning family will take a look at your little girl first." ”
After that, he ordered someone to get Gong Qifang's information.
According to the information, Gong Qifang is 16 years old this year, and because she was born with a strange fragrance, she was named 'Qifang', and it is also said that her mother dreamed of a flower shaped like a woman's face for three consecutive nights when she was pregnant with her. She also said that she has read poetry and books since she was a child, is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at tea ceremony and female celebrity.
Judging from the portrait, Gong Qifang's eyebrows are lightly swept, beautiful and natural, graceful and graceful, and there is indeed nothing to say about her appearance and posture.
"Not bad!" the queen mother smiled, and asked, "Does your daughter really have a strange fragrance since she was born?"
"It's true. Gong Yan hurriedly said, "At that time, both the minister and the child's mother were quite surprised, after all, her two sisters did not have this phenomenon when they were born. ”
"Well, the mourners know. The Queen Mother nodded.
After a little hesitation, the Empress Dowager said, "Lord Gong, if it is convenient, take her into the palace tomorrow afternoon to see the mourning family." ”
Gong Yan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
In the evening of that day, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor to come to Ciqing Palace.
The Emperor immediately put down the recital and went quickly.
The Empress Dowager handed him the information of the three women, including Gong Qifang, and said, "This is what I selected from nearly a thousand people, you can take a look." ”
The Emperor then opened their information and looked at it.
These three documents are Cao Xuemei, the daughter of Cao Wende, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Wenying, the daughter of Zuo Wenying, the daughter of Zuo Duan, a cabinet scholar, and Gong Qifang, the daughter of Gong Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Judging from the information, these three women are all talented, beautiful as flowers, docile temperament, and generous posture, which can be regarded as one in a thousand.
But after reading their information, the emperor put it on the table, and said softly: "It's all good, but it's still early next March, so there's no need to make a decision in a hurry." ”
The queen mother was not displeased, but just reminded: "I have also seen three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is rare to see them with such a posture and talent." ”
"Well, the boy made a note of it. The emperor said lightly.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't their talent and appearance up to the standard of my son?"
"Not really. The Emperor shook his head.
"Then why didn't you feel very happy after seeing their portraits?" asked the Queen Mother.
If a man does not show joy in the face of a stunning beauty, then it can be seen that he is not attracted to the other party.
However, these three are already the top in terms of comprehensive conditions among these nearly 1,000 people.
Could it be because the emperor studied Taoism too deeply and became pure-hearted?
When she thought about it like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be a little worried, and hurriedly said: "Wu'er, it is difficult to find a completely agreeable object, and some people have never met it in their lives. Even if you are a king, you have no privilege in this matter. ”
"The child knows. The emperor still smiled and said, "As concubines, they are fully up to the mark." But as a queen, I'm afraid there is still something missing. Wait, haven't all the lists from all over the country been sent in yet?"
"There are only a few remote areas left that have not yet been delivered. ”
"Then let's wait until the list of these regions is sent in. The Emperor got up and said, and then took his leave.
The Empress Dowager looked at his departing back and said to Nan Jia, the personal palace maid, "Don't you think Your Majesty doesn't seem to be very interested in women?"
Nan Jia hurriedly said: "It's not. As she spoke, she leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and lowered her voice: "At the beginning of the year, there was a slave maid who went to the East Palace at your command to bring him pear syrup, and he was reading an idle book about women, and he read it with relish. I don't know if I saw some very intimate descriptions, his face was red at the time, but his eyes did not leave the book......"
"Really?" asked the Queen Mother, looking at Nanjia.
The slave didn't dare to deceive the queen mother. Nanjia said.
"That's good. The Queen Mother let out a long sigh of relief.
Nan Jia thought about it, and then attached himself to the Empress Dowager's ear again and said, "Empress Dowager, the reason why Your Majesty's interest in women is not obvious may be because he has not yet enlightened himself in this area. The slave maid had heard some old palace maids say that in the past, some monarchs would first give birth to a few dignified palace maids in order to gain experience in this area before they got married......"
Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother's face fell. She hurriedly silenced.
