The news that the emperor wanted to draft was spread all over the capital in a blink of an eye.
The news that Hanlim University scholar Liu Zhixia was in charge of the draft also spread throughout the capital.
The aristocratic families who had been staring at the harem early were surprised at the news and at the same time, and they felt strange and awkward.
After all, there is a difference between men and women. When have the drafts of the past been handed over to men
This is not compliant!
You must know that the show girl is selected, but she has to enter the harem, and she will serve the emperor in the future. What style is it for a man to pick and choose first? The family aristocrats exploded the pot after a brief period of bewilderment.
After the blast, the threshold of the Liu Mansion was almost flattened.
No matter how uncomfortable, the emperor has already ordered the matter, and the matter has been settled. The emperor Chrysostom will definitely not change. They are just a waste of time entangled underneath. It is better to accept the reality early and plan for the next draft.
Fu Yuzheng is one head and two big ones.
Looking at the mountains of gifts in front of him, and then at the flattering smiles of the ladies sitting around, he scolded the emperor again and again in his heart.
In this case, the emperor must have guessed early in the morning, just to tease their family Zhixia.
"Mrs. Liu, you must help us and Master Liu. Our family Shucai is just eighteen this year. In terms of appearance and talent, she is also one of the best in the entire capital. You will definitely not embarrass Master Liu."
"Look at what Mrs. Guo said, our cloud painting is not inferior to your Shucai. In terms of appearance, you are still above your Shucai. If you can choose, you will be in the eyes of the emperor in the future. Our Zhu family will definitely not I will forget Master Liu's support."
"Our Du family..."
"Our Pei family..."
Fu Yuzheng could hardly find a chance to speak.
The entire living room is full of noisy comparisons of noble ladies, first boasting, and then stepping on each other. Fu Yuzheng didn't interrupt at all. He took a cup of tea and sat aside slowly, while Quandang sat in the vegetable market and listened to gossip.
After the ladies realized that they had ignored the protagonist and stopped in embarrassment, Fu Yuzheng smiled to everyone, "The emperor only postponed a draft in the last two years. I can understand the mood of the ladies, but this draft is different from the past. The requirements are more stringent. Why don't I tell your ladies in detail, when you go back, do you see if there is anyone in the family who meets the requirements?"
When they walked out of the Liu Mansion, the expressions of the noble ladies looked like sleepwalking, dumb and empty.
What did Mrs. Liu just say
Virtue, appearance and workmanship are second, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not the most important. Want to hit Vanves? Want to be healthy
Hit Vanves, this request they can still ask a high monk to grant a lot of life, and even a little trick is not impossible.
But good health? How do you know if you have been born before
With this last condition alone, a large number of people carefully cultivated by various families can be wiped out!
The emperor does not want to draft, the emperor wants to be cute, right
This selection does not look at the appearance or the talent, it is purely on the mood!
Because of the emperor's last draft, rumors were flying throughout the capital.
With regard to the selection requirements that came out later, the people were even more enthusiastic about it, and the clamor was in the dust.
After the initial shock, the nobles of the aristocratic family also fought against those two demands.
As long as there are requirements, they can find people who meet the requirements!
"Wanfu? Good health? Knowing Uncle Xia, why is my draft, but I was the last one to know about this kind of news?" In the Imperial Study Room, the young emperor asked shamelessly.
Very seriously asking for advice.
The man sitting across from him also gave a serious answer, "Men and women have different aesthetics. In the past, the drafts were performed by harem women, and women paid more attention to appearance and talent. But the minister is a man, and the examination of nature is different from that of women. , The minister privately thought that Wangfu and good health are more useful to the emperor at present. After all, there is no shortage of talented beauties by the emperor. Moreover, the emperor was taught by the king of Nanling himself. The minister believed that the emperor was definitely not only looking at the outside. Shallow people. The emperor, are you right?"
Feng Mohan stared at Liu Zhixia silently, her mouth twitching.
Can he say something wrong
Does he dare to say something wrong
King Nanling taught him, these words can crush him to death. Can he shame the emperor
What's more, the uncle emperor is a mountain that can never be climbed above his head.
"I am more connotative." Feng Mohan heard his calm answer.
"The minister knows that the emperor will not disappoint those who care about you."
Feng Mohan was about to suffocate, leaving one last breath, "I know Uncle Xia, although I am not superficial, can the'connotation' be more attractive?"
The man raised his eyes and smiled at him, smiling very well.
Feng Mohan's neck crooked and died.
No one knows what it feels like to lift a rock and smash him in the foot.
Yuan Mansion.
Flower hall.
There were only two people at the dinner table.
One old and one young.
"For the emperor's draft, the nobles of the family are going to give away people to the palace. You are just eighteen this year, and you meet the conditions." The old man downplayed, making the girl's hand tightly holding chopsticks.
"Great-grandfather, Yuner doesn't want to enter the palace."
"Within the regulations, you have to go if you meet the conditions. This is a rule, not that you can not go if you say you don't want to. Unless you have a marriage contract with you." The old man paused, "If you really don't want to go, find someone to marry you now. , The old man still has some power in his hands, and dredging can help you avoid it."
Yuan Yunqiao lowered her head, "The great-grandfather never forced Yun'er in the previous draft."
"That's because there are other children in the clan taking your place. This year, no one with the same qualifications can be found, and you are the only one left."
For the emperor's draft, official daughters are the first choice, but they can't be avoided.
Most people will not avoid it. Who doesn't want someone in the clan to enter the harem and bring the family to the top
If you really don't want to go, the only way is to find someone to marry you. As for trivial tricks such as calling illness, Yuan Mansion can't do anything.
If someone finds out, the building must fall.
Yuan Laogui was the veteran of the three dynasties and was highly respected in the dynasty. But because of this, he has occupied that position for too long, and there are many people in the courtroom who want to pull him down at any time.
Once he fell, the entire Yuan family would no longer be able to maintain the current situation.
Failure is inevitable.
Lifting his eyelids, he glanced at the downcast girl, Yuan Lao sighed in a low voice, "There are still four months left, you are ready to prepare."
"I see, great-grandfather."
After that, the two were speechless and finished a meal in silence, depressing more than ever.
From the palace, night has fallen.
Liu Zhixia turned her head and glanced inside the palace, the corners of her lips twitched, and she smiled.
The little emperor was dissatisfied by him. He kept pestering him with government affairs throughout the afternoon, and he just delayed his return to the mansion until now, and missed the supper in the mansion.
Can you feel comfortable in this way
Still naive.
When he walked to the carriage of the Liu Mansion, he lifted his clothes and prepared to get on the carriage. Someone called Liu Zhixia in the back.
"Master Liu, please stay."
