Chapter 3541 Beauty? Matchmaker?
"Are you so sure that I will be interested? Come on, tell me. If I am not interested at all later, be careful, I will pull your ears!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Da An smiled warmly, coughed slightly, and deliberately adjusted his tone and said: "The first thing is that in two days, Luo Fengtang, the protector of the country, will return to Beijing to resume his duties with the emperor. "
"What? How many days will it take for your brother-in-law to return to Beijing?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised and her score increased by a few points.
Daan corrected with a smile, "Sister, the 'two days' I use here does not refer to a few days, but two days in the precise sense."
In order to enhance Yang Ruoqing's understanding, Da'an also deliberately raised two fingers.
Yang Ruoqing stared at Daan's two delicate fingers with joy. The more she looked at it, the more she found the scissor hand gesture to be cute!
"Great, if he doesn't come back, I won't even recognize him." She joked.
Daan also smiled, with a hint of distress in his eyes while smiling.
My sister may seem like a joke, but the bitterness hidden behind this joke can only be understood by herself and the people closest to her.
"Sister, when you came from Nanmen Street in Beijing earlier, did you see that the road was decorated with lights?" Da'an asked again.
Yang Ruoqing recalled it carefully and nodded.
"Yes, the streets are really clean. The tree trunks on both sides of the street and the doorways of the shops are uniformly hung with red satin."
"Xiaoduo and Xiaojie They also speculated that some wealthy family was having a happy event, so the whole street was dressed up like that. It was so festive!" she said.
Daan smiled.
"Two days later, my brother-in-law will park the army a hundred miles away from the capital, and then bring a team of guards to the capital to meet the saint and return to his command."
"At that time, it will be sent from Nanmen Street. In the capital city, this time my brother-in-law pacified the southwest and swept across the country. The traitors in the land gave a heavy blow and warning to those neighboring countries who were ready to take action."
"The neighboring countries once again bowed their heads and surrendered, and sent protons and letters of surrender, gold, silver, jewelry, famous utensils, treasures, beauties, etc., along with my brother-in-law Let’s go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit together.”
“The Qi Emperor, Long Yan, was very happy and issued a decree to commend my brother-in-law. Nanmen Street was decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome my brother-in-law’s triumphant return.”
“Everyone in the capital now knows about my brother-in-law’s reputation. It's the minister At the banquets of the dignitaries, the poetry clubs of the Qingliu students, or in the shops of all sizes in the capital, two things were hotly discussed. One of them was that my brother-in-law had successfully defeated the enemy and returned in triumph. As for the other, …”
Yang Ruoqing's ears stood up high as she listened, just like the cat.
Daan suddenly stopped talking, which made her anxious and scratching her head and ears.
"Your brother-in-law is now a man of the hour, and the appraisal has been completed. So what is the other thing that attracted everyone's attention?" She quickly asked.
Daan, however, calmly picked up the tea bowl beside him and took a sip.
"Well, it's good to moisten your throat. After you're done moisturizing, continue talking!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Daan smiled, moistened his throat, put down his tea bowl, sat up straight, and continued.
"This other thing has nothing to do with us, but because it is a happy event for someone else's family, I heard it and talked about it after dinner." He said.
“Emperor Qi issued an imperial edict at the beginning of the year to select concubines for His Royal Highness. The Ministry of Internal Affairs formulated the criteria for selecting concubines, and the selection scope was placed in the capital, so as not to disturb the lower states and counties.”
"At that time, the edict was sent out at the end of the first month, and in mid-February, a thousand people met the conditions. "The show girls signed up to participate in the audition."
"After layers of screening and elimination, there are still fifty show girls left to receive training in the palace." "These fifty show girls will still be there." Thirty more people will be eliminated, and the remaining twenty will be the final candidates.”
"At that time, the emperor and the queen will select the candidate they like, and then they will discuss with the three elders of the cabinet before issuing a decree to marry."
"The candidates for the two crown prince concubines, It’s up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide.”
Hearing Da’an’s words, Yang Ruoqing’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Oh my god, isn’t it too exaggerated to choose a crown princess?” she said.
"We only select three out of a thousand people. This only applies to the capital city. If we expand the selection to the lower states and counties, the admission ratio will be even more difficult than when you took the top prize exam!" she said.
Of course, the crown princess and the two concubines who were selected through this layer of screening must be unqualified for their appearance, knowledge, words, deeds and qualities shown to outsiders.
Moreover, they must all have good family backgrounds, either princes and nobles, or important civil and military ministers, or from clean and pure families...
"Wow, there are so many beauties, Qi Xingyun is blessed now. Yeah!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
In my mind, I couldn’t help but imagine that I was still single at the age of twenty-six or seven. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn’t even have a bed-warming maid in the palace. When the time comes, he would be hugged from left to right. What kind of scene?
It's the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. He used to be indifferent to women, but now he is wallowing in makeup and powder. He is used to vegetarian food and suddenly becomes greasy. Will he have indigestion?
Where there are women, there is war, not to mention these women are all fighter jets among women. Even if they look silly and sweet on the outside, they are also very scheming on the inside.
They fight openly and secretly, and compete for favor. Can Qi Xingyun be able to withstand it?
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing found it very interesting, hahaha...
What would Qi Xingyun think if he knew that she was thinking about all the embarrassing things after his marriage?
In the East Palace, in the Prince's study.
"Sneeze!"
A loud sneeze resounded through the study, causing his hand holding the pen to shake. The ink on the tip of the pen fell off and fell on the white paper in front of him. on the nose of that beautiful image.
Qi Xingyun looked at the ruined beauty picture in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. An, how do you feel about the beauty?" he asked the middle-aged eunuch standing by to wait.
Hearing this, Mr. An bowed forward and followed Qi Xingyun's guidance to look at the picture of a beautiful woman spread out on the desk.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. As soon as he took a look, the corners of Mr. An's mouth twitched fiercely. I twitched and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
The good-looking beauty suddenly turned into a matchmaker with a black mole on her nose.
"Your Highness, this, this..." Eunuch An didn't know how to speak.
This scroll, along with several other scrolls on the desk that I haven't had time to open and look at, were sent over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The twenty beauties in the scroll are all the beauties selected by the emperor for His Highness the Crown Prince. The future crown princess and the two concubines are all in these twenty scrolls, but the candidates have not yet been determined.
"This girl's appearance seems to be more suitable for being a matchmaker. Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs send her scroll to the wrong place?"
Beside the desk, Qi Xingyun lazily leaned on the Taishi chair, pointing his fingers He gently tapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair with a teasing tone.
