Chapter 388 Can't afford to lose people

"Since you chose it first, it's her, I'll just get rid of her name."

Deng Meng is not the kind of old-fashioned person, and the thirty women on the surface have not been clearly divided, so it is not a violation of etiquette.

"Thank you, Mother."

It is indeed not easy to meet a woman who fits his eyes, and Liu Yu also cherishes it, and it is not in vain that he rushed back thousands of miles away.

It's just that the elder brother still has to make it clear, he doesn't want this matter to come out of other people's mouths, and it may change its flavor at that time.

In the East Palace, the crown prince Liu Jin was busy until lunch, and he still listened to the work report of his subordinates while eating, and handed it over to Liu Yu, so he smiled.

"I've been there for half a day, do you have anything you like?"

Liu Yu paused, "There really is one, but it's ......"

His hesitation, Liu Jin felt that there was a problem, his younger brother was very willful on weekdays, and when did he scruple about it.

"If you have any questions, just say it, between you and my brothers, you don't have to worry about anything."

So Liu Yu told him about the situation, and Liu Jin smiled when he heard it, "This alternative division is just like that, and it is not specified, Brother Yu doesn't have to mind." ”

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he and his brother had a deep relationship, and they had separated each other since they were children, but since the crown prince, everything has been different after all.

"It's my brother who is too worried."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Liu Yu beckoned someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and had lunch in the East Palace.

Liu Jin chatted with him while dealing with government affairs, and asked about the trip to Chengdu in the past few months.

"In addition to the matter of choosing a concubine when I come back this time, I plan to take the entrance exam of the Academy of Sciences in July."

Hearing this, Liu Jin's eyebrows raised, "Are you sure?" ”

"That's natural, I'm the king of Xiangyang, if I'm not sure, I don't dare to take the exam, I can't afford to lose that person."

Liu Yu patted his chest and assured that he had been preparing for two whole years, and this time he had made up his mind that he had to hit it with one blow.

"I heard that my father is going to be invigilated this time, so you have to pay attention."

"What?!"

This news is too exciting and too sudden, although Liu Zhi has also done the invigilation of the Academy of Sciences before, but that was when the Academy was just established, in order to increase the attention of the Academy of Sciences.

"Why did my father suddenly have this idea, it couldn't be that he heard that I was going to take the exam, and he was worried that Dean Meng would release the water, right?"

Seeing his depressed look, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile, "You really guessed right, I feel that this is what my father meant, Brother Yu will ask for more blessings, haha......"

The dignified and serious crown prince will only be so relaxed when he is with Liu Yu.

"Humph! Don't underestimate me, I didn't think about cheating. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly said goodbye, Liu Jin knew that he was in a hurry to go back to review his homework, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Liu Yu seems to be lawless and willful, but in fact, he values family affection very much, and in fact, he has never done anything really unbearable, but he is a little naughty.

It's hard to find something that will make him take it seriously, and I hope he can pass the exam this time.

Otherwise, if you give up in a fit of anger, you may not know, and I don't know if you will give up on yourself at that time.

Sure enough, from that day on, Liu Yu stayed in the mansion to study honestly, except for occasionally entering the palace to greet his parents, he didn't go out once, it seems that he is determined to be admitted to the Academy of Sciences.

Liu Jin's marriage was done step by step, and he waited until the two-month etiquette training was completed before participating in the formal selection.

Liu Zhi did not participate in this matter, not because he didn't attach importance to his son's marriage, but because his son chose a concubine according to the rules, and he, as a father, needed to avoid it.

Although Lu Yun has been designated as the princess of Xiangyang, it has not been announced, nor has she been treated differently.

According to the etiquette system, the crown prince is the elder brother, and he must be asked to choose the candidate for the concubine in order to get Liu Yu as the younger brother.

Otherwise, it will have an impact on Liu Yu's reputation in the future, and it is easy to leave a handle and be criticized.

As the crown prince, Liu Jin's attitude towards this matter is completely official and handles it as a political matter.

He carefully studied the information of each woman to be selected, and also looked at their records in advance for the past two months, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

The concubine selection ceremony in the TV series always likes to engage in some talent competitions, but in fact this is impossible.

In ancient times, everyone was beautiful, and those who could pass the primary selection and re-selection of the two passes, which one was not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

What's more, it is a candidate for a wife, the so-called selection of virtue is not an option, and it is not a Qinglou selection of an oiran lady, it is impossible to come to a song and dance or the like, which makes people laugh and be generous.

Most of the time, after two months of observation and various political considerations, the candidates have already been decided, and the selection ceremony is just a formality.

Like Liu Jin, it is very rare.

Thirty women to be selected saluted in unison to see the queen and the crown prince, as well as the king of Xiangyang.

Liu Yu noticed that Lu Yun was a little surprised after seeing him and Liu Jin, and he should not be able to tell which of the two of them was the one who followed him that day.

However, this woman Bing Xue was smart, and quickly determined Liu Yu's identity from their demeanor and expression, and couldn't help but pay attention to look at him twice.

Seeing her looking back frequently, Liu Yu also smiled at her, he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, worried that Lu Yun would not want to be the princess of Xiangyang.

Liu Jin quickly selected the candidate for the main concubine, a woman who was not particularly outstanding in appearance, born in a meritorious family, named Zhao Ya, and was the youngest daughter of Zhao Shu, the Marquis of Jiexiang.

Zhao Xi, the ancestor of the Zhao family, was a famous minister of Emperor Guangwu, who went through the three dynasties of Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang, and served as Taiwei, Taifu and other important positions, and was a townsman.

But his descendants are not angry, and the Zhao family has gradually declined, especially in Zhao Shu's generation, not only does he not have much interest, but he also has no son.

According to the rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the title will be removed if there is no child.

Zhao Shu was very anxious about this, and married more than a dozen concubines, just to be able to have a son, but unfortunately she has not been able to get her wish.

This Zhao Ya is his old daughter, and she is outstanding in all aspects, but among these thirty people, she is not the most top-notch.

Deng Meng suspected that he chose Zhao Ya, in fact, he had a lot to do with her family, and his status was noble, but he didn't worry about the dictatorship of his relatives, which was really perfect.

However, this is Liu Jin's own choice, as a mother, she has already delineated the scope for him, and she does not plan to interfere too much.

After the selection was completed, the answer was not immediately announced, but first submitted to the emperor for review, and Liu Zhi did not say a word about the result, and directly gave instructions.

Liu Jin and Liu Yu gave up choosing the deputy concubine almost at the same time, and this time they only chose the main concubine, which is worthy of being twin brothers, and they really even have the same idea.

On the second day, the imperial court issued an official edict, announcing the two candidates for the main concubine, and the rest were to be sent home.

This result was obviously unexpected by many......
