Chapter 584: Prepare to enter the palace
"What's so bad about being in advance?"
Liu Chen didn't answer the words of the two, but asked out loud, hearing Liu Chen's inquiry, Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuhan were both stunned, and quickly shook their heads after reacting.
There is nothing wrong with choosing a concubine in advance, on the contrary, it has a great advantage for them.
This time, I just can't be selected, and my age is not exceeded, so it's easier to talk about people in the future, but how can I not be selected? The daughters of his Liu family are all excellent, and they are all cultivated according to the standards of cultivating concubines, how can they not be selected? So Mrs. Liu immediately became happy.
"Don't worry, the concubine will definitely help Yuhan prepare well, and she will definitely get the emperor's favor when the time comes."
Liu Chen nodded, a hint of thoughtfulness appeared on his face, and then he spoke to Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuhan.
"Don't go out to meet Zheng Ziyan and them recently, the daughters of the three of us will enter the palace this time, your appearance is not as beautiful as Huang Chuchu, and your qinqi, calligraphy and painting are not as good as Zheng Ziyan, so you must come up with outstanding things, so as to be able to stand out from them, otherwise, you will watch the two of them be favored, and your father's old face will be lost by you at that time."
Liu Chen said solemnly, speaking of appearance, Liu Yuhan was jealous of Huang Chuchu in his heart, he looked like a fox spirit, if it weren't for the fact that his father and his father were a faction, she wouldn't have bothered to associate with her.
Zheng Ziyan is slightly better, her appearance is not very good, she is about the same, but Zheng Ziyan is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also a difficult character to deal with.
Liu Yuhan can only be regarded as good at qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is only proficient in dancing, but when she thinks that several ladies in the palace are very good at dancing, especially Concubine Chen's dance, which is famous all over the world, how can she stand out?
After thinking of this, Liu Yuhan was a little discouraged, raised his head, looked at Liu Chen weakly, and then muttered.
"Dad, I can't compare to Huang Chuchu in appearance, and I can't compare to Zheng Ziyan in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only thing I can do is dance, but there are many dancing girls in the palace, how can I stand out from them?"
When he said this, Liu Yuhan was very discouraged, thinking that if they entered the palace, Huang Chuchu and Zheng Ziyan would be favored by the emperor, and they would definitely be disliked when they were useless.
They obviously won't say anything, but they will definitely chew the root of her tongue behind their backs, and they may not know how to dislike her.
After thinking of this, Liu Yuhan's eyes showed a touch of gloom, the problem of appearance, she was born like this, there is definitely no way to change it.
As for being proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she doesn't want to be proficient in everything, but she has no talent at all.
Although they have mentioned entering the palace before, their goals are like this, but when she really wants to prepare for entering the palace, she has low self-esteem, and she really can't compare to Huang Chuchu and Zheng Ziyan!
It's not just that she can't compare to the two of them, the emperor's choice of concubines is very important, and there must be more than just three of them who enter the palace, and she has to compare with others, when the time comes......
Liu Yuhan didn't dare to think about it, and he could feel that he would definitely not be chosen by the emperor.
After thinking of this, Liu Yuhan felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and there was a breath of turbidity in his heart, and he couldn't wait to vent it fiercely.
Liu Chen looked at Liu Yuhan, and when he heard her words, he knew what he was worried about.
He has many sons, and there is only such a daughter, although her appearance is not very good, and she only knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he will not ignore her.
There was no one else to send to the palace, so there was only this only daughter who was counting on it.
Liu Chen looked at Liu Yuhan, and immediately said, "You don't have to worry about entering the palace, your father is responsible for the selection of concubines this time, and the emperor will look at my face and leave you in the palace." ”
"Now the top priority is that you must come up with a way to get the emperor to pay attention to you, as long as you stay in the palace, you must rely on this method to get the emperor's attention, and when the time comes, it will definitely be easy to be promoted."
Hearing Liu Chen's words, Liu Yuhan's eyes showed a bright light, as long as she could stay in the palace, she would definitely find a way to get the emperor's attention.
Without waiting for Liu Yuhan to speak, Liu Chen looked at Mrs. Liu on the side and ordered, "I'll leave this time to you, think of a way for Yuhan to see what to attract the emperor's attention." ”
This is why Mrs. Liu naturally took it heroically, and hurriedly said to Liu Chen, "Master, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the concubine, and the concubine will definitely find a way for her daughter." ”
Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Similarly, the Zheng family is in the same situation.
Originally, I made an appointment with Liu Yuhan today to go to enjoy chrysanthemums together, but when I was about to go out, I was stopped by Mrs. Zheng, and Zheng Ziyan followed Mrs. Zheng to Zheng Cheng's study with a puzzled face.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Zheng Ziyan looked at Zheng Cheng suspiciously, not understanding how her father, who had always been busy with affairs, suddenly called her to the study?
Hearing Zheng Ziyan's voice, Zheng Cheng raised his head, put down the account book in his hand, and looked at Zheng Ziyan.
"How's your studies going?"
Zheng Cheng looked at Zheng Ziyan and asked, hearing his words, Zheng Ziyan had some doubts in her heart, Zheng Chengke had never cared about her studies.
Although thinking about it like this, but she didn't dare to say it, Zheng Ziyan nodded to Zheng Cheng obediently, and then slowly spoke.
"If you go back to your father, you will already know all the knowledge taught by Mr."
Zheng Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Mrs. Zheng on the side, "The emperor has chosen a concubine in advance, recently dressed up his daughter well, prepared in advance, and when the time comes, enter the palace, don't let the official lose face." ”
Choosing a concubine in advance?
Hearing Zheng Cheng's words, Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Ziyan both had a look of surprise on their faces, and their reactions were the same as those of Liu Yuhan before.
After all, as we all know, the emperor still has more than a year to choose a concubine, how could he suddenly choose a concubine in advance?
Although she had doubts in her heart, Deng Ziyan had always been afraid of Zheng Cheng's majesty, so she could only nod quickly.
"My daughter will prepare well."
Mrs. Zheng on the side also nodded at Zheng Cheng and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the concubine will definitely prepare well for her daughter, and she will definitely make her stand out when the time comes." ”
Zheng Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then subconsciously said, "Zi Yan, you are better than Liu Yuhan and Huang Chuchu Wencai, compared to appearance, the emperor attaches more importance to literary talent, don't let your father down when the time comes." ”
Hearing Zheng Cheng's words, Zheng Ziyan suddenly felt pressured, and changed it for a while, and then quickly nodded obediently.
"Dad, my daughter won't let you down."
Seeing Zheng Ziyan nodding, Zheng Cheng waved to the two of them with satisfaction, "The official still has some account books to read, go down and prepare first, the official will let you know the time of choosing a concubine." ”
Zheng Ziyan and Mrs. Zheng walked out of the study, and the two walked out together, Zheng Ziyan couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the study.
