[Eight] Hua Yuchou 52 I don't want to choose a concubine (2 more completed)
Saki picked up a volume from the desk, expanded it and put it down, and changed to another volume. After reading this for a few volumes, she asked casually: "Is the portraits of the princes and grandchildren collected by His Majesty and the Ministry of Rites here?"
Aunt Xin Yi folded her hands in front of her belly and smiled respectfully: "Empress, this is the first choice. First, select one hundred people with outstanding appearance and outstanding family background from these thousands of people, and then make a selection."
Saki nodded and continued to choose.
Among these noble children who are to be selected, all those who are hung up are outstanding in appearance and family background. The particularly outstanding ones are even framed and made into single-fan screens, both seat and hanging screens.
If Sakiki sees something pretty good again, he will ask the eunuch to hang it up, and those who are a little dissatisfied will be replaced.
Youmeng stayed silently by the side, occasionally walking two steps intently and reading two volumes, with little interest. Seeing these noble men being used as goods for people to choose, she felt a sarcastic feeling in her heart. She just made the decision on her mother, and she would hang whoever she loved, because she knew that no matter how she chose, it would be the same, and she was not interested in everyone here.
There are hundreds of scrolls of portraits here. Sakiki's eyes alone can never be seen. Moreover, if you pick them up, you will be aesthetically exhausted. At this time, your confidant's "recommendation" will become a way to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, there have been many families in advance, which have given many benefits to the emperor and Saki Concubine's confidants, so that they can have a greater chance of being selected for their sons and young men in front of their masters. And their confidants regard this kind of thing as a way of wealth, so they will naturally enjoy helping.
"This is the legitimate son of the Duke of Nanping County, Min Qiuye, who is on the 10th day of the year." Aunt Xin Yi saw the opportunity and handed over a picture, smiling, "I am born with a romantic and elegant look."
Saki looked at it and felt that Min Qiuye looked a little frivolous, but the Duke's Pang family was there, so she nodded, and Xin Yi handed over the portrait to the eunuch.
"This is the second son of the Minister of War, Ruan Jingrong, who is nineteen years old." Xin Yi took another volume and asked Saki to read it. "Although he is the second, he is the eldest son of the family and has great talent since childhood."
Saki nodded and acquiesced.
Xin Yi Yu Guang swept away and started another volume, saying, "This is the son of the General of Longxi, Fu Jun, 26 years old." He paused, as if he wanted to explain, "He joined the army at the age of twelve or thirteen, and was also a young general. He was busy making achievements, and thus delayed his family. He was indeed a heroic and extraordinary person."
Saki looked at him sideways for a moment, hesitating a little: "Compared to Youmeng, this age is still a little older."
Xin Yi joked: "Elderly also has the benefits of getting older, and I know how to love my wife."
After hearing this, Sakio pursed her lips and smiled, looking gentle and elegant. Then she turned her eyes to her daughter. Seeing that she was tilting her head down and was not listening at all, but looking absent-minded, she called out, "Youmeng, look, are you interested?"
Youmeng and her mother looked at each other for a moment, and then lowered their eyes because of lack of confidence, frowned and stuttered: "Mother, I..."
Sakiki saw her eyes flashing and looked very entangled, and he couldn't help but deepen his eyes when he looked at her. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was obviously a little cold.
Under the scrutiny of his mother, Youmeng bit her lip and said softly: "I don't want to choose a prince consort."
Aunt Xin Yi shook her hands, opened her eyes wide, and looked carefully at Saki. After seeing her daughter say this, her smile instantly stiffened, as if it had changed the sky, and her yin energy was heavy: "What did you say?"
