Chapter 1275 Can You Make It Look Better?
The news that the emperor wanted to be drafted spread all over the capital in a blink of an eye.
The news that Hanlin University scholar Liu Zhixia was in charge of the draft also spread throughout the capital.
All the aristocrats who had been staring at the harem early, were pleasantly surprised by the news and also extremely surprised, feeling weird and awkward.
After all, there is a difference between men and women. Since ancient times, when have drafts been handed over to men?
This is against the rules!
You must know that Xiu Nu is selected but she will enter the harem and serve the emperor in the future. How decent is it for a man to pick and choose first? The aristocrats of the aristocratic family exploded after a short period of persuasion.
After the pot exploded, the threshold of the Liu Mansion was almost flattened.
No matter how unsuitable, the emperor has already issued an order, and the matter has been settled. The emperor’s golden words will definitely not change. It’s just a waste of time for them to struggle underneath. It’s better to accept the reality early and plan well for the next draft.
Fu Yuzheng has one head and two big ones.
Looking at the mountains of presents piled up in front of him, and looking at the flattering smiling faces of the ladies sitting around, he scolded the emperor over and over again in his heart.
In this situation, the emperor must have guessed it early in the morning, just to tease their family Zhixia.
"Mrs. Liu, you must pass a message to Mr. Liu for us. 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. She will definitely not embarrass Mrs. Liu."
"Look at what Mrs. Guo said, our family's Yunhua is not inferior to your family's Shucai. In terms of appearance, you are still above your family's Shucai. If you can be selected, you will definitely 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 hardly had a chance to speak.
The whole living room is full of noble ladies who are noisy and comparing each other, first boasting, and then stepping on each other, it's hard to beat each other. Fu Yuzheng didn't interrupt at all, and sat aside with a cup of tea and slowly sipped it, just like sitting in the vegetable market and listening to gossip.
After the ladies realized that they had ignored the protagonist and stopped awkwardly, Fu Yuzheng smiled at everyone, "The emperor only postponed the draft for two years. I can understand the feelings of the ladies, but this draft is different from the past. The requirements are even stricter. Why don't I tell the wives in detail, and when you go back, see if there are any candidates in the family who meet the requirements?"
When they walked out of Liu Mansion, all the noble ladies looked sleepwalking, blank and empty.
What did Mrs. Liu say just now?
Virtue, appearance and appearance are second, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not the most important. Want to hit Vanves? Want to have a good birth?
It is not impossible for them to ask the eminent monks to approve a batch of orders for Wangve, and it is not impossible to even do a little trick.
But good fertility? If you haven't given birth, how do you know whether it is good to give birth?
Just this last condition alone will be able to recruit a large number of people carefully cultivated by various families!
The emperor doesn't want to draft, the emperor wants to be amusing, right?
This selection doesn't look at appearance or talent, but purely depends on mood!
Because of the emperor's draft, rumors spread throughout the capital.
Regarding the selection requirements that came out later, the common people were even more heatedly discussing and clamoring.
After the initial shock, the aristocrats of the aristocratic family also met those two demands.
As long as there is a requirement, they can find someone who meets the requirement!
"Wangfu? Good fertility? Uncle Zhixia, why am I the last to know about my draft?" In the imperial study, the young emperor asked shamelessly.
Ask for advice very seriously.
The man sitting across from him also answered seriously, "Men and women have different aesthetics. In the past, the talent show was handled by women in the harem, and women paid more attention to appearance and talent. As a man, the examination of nature is different from that of women. I personally think that prosperous husbands and good fertility are more useful to the emperor at present. After all, there is no shortage of talented beauties by the emperor's side. Moreover, the emperor was taught by the king of Nanling himself. I believe that the emperor definitely does not only look at the outside Superficial people. Are you right, Your Majesty?"
Feng Mohan silently stared at Liu Zhixia, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Can he say no?
Dare he say no?
Nanling King taught it, this sentence can crush him to death. Can he embarrass the uncle?
What's more, the emperor's uncle is a mountain that he can never climb over his head.
"I'm more connotative." Feng Mohan heard his calm reply.
"I know that the emperor will not disappoint those who care about you."
Feng Mohan was about to suffocate, and took his last breath, "Uncle Zhixia, although I am not superficial, can the 'connotation' be better?"
The man raised his eyes and smiled at him, a nice smile.
Feng Mohan tilted his neck and died.
No one knows what it's like to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot better than him at this moment.
Yuan Mansion.
flower hall.
There are only two people on the dinner table.
One old and one young.
"The emperor's talent show, nobles from aristocratic families will send people to the palace. You are just eighteen this year, so you meet the qualifications." The old man said lightly, making the girl's hand hold the chopsticks tightly.
"Great-grandfather, Yun'er doesn't want to enter the palace."
"Within the rules, you have to go if you meet the conditions. It's a rule, it's not that you can't go if you don't want to. Unless you already have a marriage contract." The old man paused, "If you really don't want to go, find someone to get married now , The old man still has some power in his hands, and dredging dredging can help you avoid it."
Yuan Yunqiao lowered her head, "Before the draft, my great-grandfather never forced Yun'er."
"That's because there are other children in the clan who took your place. This year, I can't find anyone with the same qualifications, and you are the only one left."
In the emperor's draft, the official daughter is the first choice, which cannot be avoided.
Most people would not avoid it either. Who wouldn't want someone in the family to enter the harem and lead the family to prosperity?
If anyone really didn't want to go, the only way was to find someone to make an appointment with. As for tricks like calling him sick, the Yuan Manor absolutely couldn't do it.
If it is discovered, the building will collapse.
Yuan Laogui was the elder of the three dynasties, and he was highly respected in the dynasties. But because of this, he has occupied that position for too long, and there are many people in the court who want to pull him down at any time.
Once he falls, the entire Yuan family will no longer be able to maintain the current situation.
Defeat is inevitable.
Raising his eyelids, he glanced at the girl with drooping head and silent, and Yuan Lao sighed in a low voice, "There are still four months, you should prepare well."
"Got it, great-grandfather."
Afterwards, the two of them had no more words, and finished the meal in silence, more depressed than ever.
Coming out of the palace, night has fallen.
Liu Zhixia looked back into the palace, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she smiled.
The little emperor was unconvinced by him, and kept pestering him with government affairs all afternoon, forcing him to delay his return to the mansion until now, missing the dinner in the mansion.
So you can vent your breath and feel comfortable?
Still childish.
Walking to the carriage of Liu's Mansion, he lifted up his clothes and prepared to get on the carriage, when someone called Liu Zhixia from behind.
"Master Liu, please stay."
