Your Majesty, that must be your Majesty!
They came to the palace today just to see the emperor, especially the common girls from the common people. They never dreamed that one day they would be able to enter the palace and see the emperor's true face, even if they were not selected. Queen, being able to see the emperor is enough for them to show off to their neighbors in the countryside.
Queen Mother Zhou's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the girls, and she looked at each one of them very carefully.
Because the future queen candidates will be born from these girls.
As expected, Empress Dowager Zhou saw the calm-looking girl in green among the crowd, and her eyes couldn't help but pause for a moment on her body.
It's a pity that like the girl next to her, her face is drooped, and only her smooth and plump forehead can be seen, her skin is as shiny as snow, and she has soft, shiny black hair.
"Well, it seems that this girl comes from an ordinary family, not from a wealthy family."
Empress Dowager Zhou thought to herself that she could tell at a glance that the girl in green was wearing the most ordinary Ruyi jade hairpin, and the green shirt she was wearing was also very ordinary in style and the material was ordinary.
But when worn on her body, these most inconspicuous outfits add an indescribable character to her, making her stand out. Although she is still the most eye-catching one among the crowd, .
What a pity, what a pity, everything is fine, but with a disability, how can the future queen of Western Chu be a cripple!
It seemed that the position of queen was not destined for her after all.
Queen Mother Zhou's calm eyes glanced past the girl in green and turned to the next girl.
After scanning the more than twenty girls, Queen Mother Zhou had an idea.
Although the girls all lowered their heads, Queen Mother Zhou still recognized a few familiar girls, including Xia Yuyan and Wu Yuer, whom she was most fond of. These two girls had once entered the palace to show off their talents in poetry and painting. Although at that time They were overshadowed by Shen Ning, but without Shen Ning, the two of them would have been extremely talented.
What surprised Empress Dowager Zhou was that Liu Yushi's daughter Liu Wanting actually failed to win the election and was not among the other girls.
"Girls, don't be formal. I heard that you are all famous talented women in Kyoto. You are well-read in poems and books, and you are talented in learning. So I invite you to come to the palace and play in the garden together. Everyone just needs to be happy and have fun. What do you think? How’s the view of the Royal Garden?”
Empress Dowager Zhou spoke kindly and looked at the girls below with a smile.
The girls were so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath, but when they heard Empress Dowager Zhou's kind voice and smile, they couldn't help but relax.
I thought to myself, everyone said that the Queen Mother was stern, but she spoke in such a soft and soft voice, and my fear and fear suddenly disappeared.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I think the scenery here is very beautiful." Wu Yuer'er was the first to speak, her tone was respectful and courteous, and her voice was sweet and delicate.
After all, she had entered the palace once and had seen the Empress Dowager Zhou. She was not as restrained as the other girls. She raised her snow-white and delicate face and smiled shyly at the Empress Dowager Zhou, but her eyes slightly glanced at the one sitting next to the Empress Dowager Zhou. The emperor.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as beautiful as you, Yue'er. I haven't seen you for several days, but Yue'er becomes more and more beautiful as you grow older." Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and nodded to Wu Yue'er.
