Chapter 3: The Ceremony of Choosing a Concubine
readx; Before Chen Xuan arrived at Shoukang Palace and entered the main hall, he saw that the Queen Mother was sitting in the first place, and there were already rows of all kinds of women standing below, and the Queen Mother's eyes swept over these women with light makeup and heavy makeup in the hall from time to time, thoughtfully. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is a little because there is a queen mother, in Chen Xuan's opinion, these women are quite peaceful, but thinking that his harem will be filled with these women in the future, he frowned, isn't it annoying? The queen mother is looking for something to do for herself!
"The emperor has arrived!"
Soon, everyone cheered up and knelt down respectfully to salute Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan sat down in the other first place in the Queen Mother's hand before he spoke, "Flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
I have to say that although these women have different styles, they all have the same similarities and are full of ladylike demeanor. I don't know if it's just recently trained or if it's just gentle in my bones, anyway, these women below are impeccable from their expressions to their movements.
Merely...... There is a woman, too careful, just a move to get up, she seems to be half a beat slower than everyone else, in all the ladies show, still shows her extremely elegant movements.
If this woman wanted to use this method to attract the emperor's attention, then Chen Xuan would tell her that she had succeeded, and Chen Xuan's curious eyes kept rolling over her.
The queen mother handed over the roster and interrupted Chen Xuan's eyes, and then the concubine selection ceremony began, Wei Quanshan also had a roster in his hand, according to the booklet, the woman who called her name went to the middle of the hall to show Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan flipped through the roster casually, which not only wrote the names and backgrounds of these flowery women, but also wrote some information about their talents. Over there, Wei Quanshan had already called someone up, and he just glanced at it lazily and didn't express any opinions.
"The emperor is not satisfied?" Seeing that Chen Xuan was a little absent-minded, the Queen Mother asked.
"It's okay, it's just that I haven't seen what I like for a while." Chen Xuan casually flipped through the roster on the back pages, and was suddenly attracted by a person's name. "Flowers? Whose daughter, how I don't remember the official surnamed Hua in the court. ”
"It is the niece of Zhang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the only daughter of Zhang Qian's sister Zhang Lan, but she has no father since then, and was raised by Zhang Lan alone, but Zhang Lan disappeared seven years ago, and she was fostered in Zhang Qian's house after Zhang Lan disappeared.
The first talented woman in Beijing? Chen Xuan frowned slightly, which reminded him of Fan Zijing.
Raising his eyes and glancing at the woman who caught his attention, it seemed that the Queen Mother was very satisfied with this Hua Xiaoxi, so he would choose that woman, who made that woman successfully attract his attention.
Maybe he is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the palace, Chen Xuan has little interest in the other women in front of him since he noticed that woman, anyway, they are all the same, proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have a gentle temperament, but after flipping through the roster, Chen Xuan found that after the first few rounds of screening, the best qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is Hua Xiaoxi, Chen Xuan is looking forward to it, what does this talented girl look like, if she is also impeccable, then there is some vulgar taste.
The whole process went very quickly, about forty or fifty beauties in the hall had already seen more than half of them, and what left Chen Xuan with some impression was only Zhu Ying, the daughter of the prime minister, Zhu Cheng was quite upright, and Chen Xuan was single-handedly pulled up after he ascended the throne, Chen Xuan's ability to recognize people is still good, and Prime Minister Zhu has lived up to expectations over the years, and helping Chen Xuan deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China is also in good order. may be because Zhu Ying is Prime Minister Zhu Cheng's only daughter, so she is spoiled and protected on weekdays, and has some of the temper of the eldest lady, but fortunately, she still knows how to restrain herself in front of Chen Xuan. Maybe she really fell in love with the emperor who showed a talent, and in front of the people she liked, she would always show her best side.
But Chen Xuan didn't want to accept her into the harem at all, since she was already her own person, there was no need to win her over like this, besides, after all, the harem was not a peaceful place.
