Chapter 755 The Beautiful Girl (Additional updates for those who accumulate 300 monthly tickets)
Although I go there with the mentality of strengthening my body and trying to live a few more years, if there is still some practical value, That is undoubtedly the best.
Due to Zhou Xu’s previous appointment, Xie Liancheng will leave for Green Forest City to take up his post in two days.
Fortunately, he has a good memory. Two days, coupled with Xie Liancheng's dedicated teaching, was enough for him to memorize the Tai Chi moves. After that, he slowly practiced it every day.
After Xie Liancheng set out, the morning Tai Chi exercise program was quickly integrated into Zhou Xu’s daily life.
In this way, half a month passed, and a list was delivered to Zhou Xu.
"What is this list?"
Zhou Xu, who was working at the time, had a strange look on his face.
Seeing this, Hilke answered softly.
"Your Majesty, this is the list for the draft. Those on the list are carefully selected show girls."
"..."
Zhou Xuwang has not forgotten this matter. He was still thinking about work issues in his mind just a moment ago, so he didn't turn around at once.
Now after hearing Silke's words, Zhou Xu couldn't help but fall on the list in front of him again.
Even in the modern age where he felt lifeless, in his more than twenty years of life, he had never had an emotion called 'love' for any woman. This was something he I know it very well.
Sometimes, he would also wonder if he had not met the one he really liked, but later, he felt more that maybe he was just a naturally unfeeling person and would never be able to love in this life. on anyone.
After traveling through time, in this new world, his ambition was completely inspired and expanded day by day, causing him to devote all his enthusiasm to the great cause called "Great Zhou".
In this state, Zhou Xu is even less interested in love affairs.
This is also the fundamental reason why he is very indifferent to the matter of choosing a beautiful girl to have offspring with him.
Because in his opinion, this is just a means to achieve his goal.
Dazhou needs an heir, it’s that simple!
Considering the inheritance of Dazhou, future generations are still very important, which also makes him pay more attention to this matter.
"Just three people?"
Looking at the three names on the list, Zhou Xu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This really didn't leave him much room for choice.
“Minister Li said that these three people were carefully selected from all over the country and selected the best from the best.”
Silk truthfully conveyed Li Bowen’s words.
Zhou Xu had a look on his face, 'I believe him! '
But this time, it was indeed Zhou Xu who had wronged him. Considering the total population here, these three beautiful women can be regarded as one in a million, and they were indeed carefully selected. The result of choosing the best among the best.
But in the end, only three beautiful women were selected for Zhou Xu to choose from, which was not their original intention. It was really that they could not choose more suitable women.
In the past, Yan Sheng, the foolish king, was simply a lustful ghost. He would be drafted here and there every now and then. As a result, there were very few women in their country who were of the right age, never married, and had outstanding looks.
After selecting three suitable show girls, if they try to add some inappropriate ones to make up the show, it will not look good anyway, and they are even more afraid of being blamed by their emperor.
Of course, in addition, they have another concern.
That is because they are afraid that there will be too many concubines in the harem, causing their majesty to indulge in women and have no interest in government affairs, and then follow in the footsteps of Yan Sheng.
It’s not that Li Bowen and the others are loyal to Zhou Xu and care about the country and the people, but once something like this happens, the country will be in turmoil, and their lives will not be easy for them. Now that their emperor has completed unification, they still hope for long-term peace and stability. Chaos is not good for everyone.
For this reason, Li Bowen even put his precious daughter, who had just reached her 28th birthday, on the list.
You know, when Yan Sheng was still alive, he hid his precious daughter tightly.
While doing this shows that he is conscientious and responsible, Li Bowen naturally also has his own plans.
Judging from her age, his precious daughter was indeed old enough to get married, but as he looked around, he saw a bunch of crooked men of the same age, and none of them was worthy of him. Baby girl's.
Under this premise, His Majesty is a good choice. Marrying his daughter into the palace will also help him stabilize his status in the court.
In addition, once the daughter gives birth to a prince, won’t she become the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty? !
From this point of view, it is nothing short of beneficial.
When Zhou Xu heard the news, he was just stunned for a moment, and he knew very well about Li Bowen's little calculation.
“Speaking of which, did Li Bowen boast before that his daughter was kind-hearted and often went out to give porridge to help people during times of famine?”
“That’s true. "
Hilke nodded. As the captain of the soldiers, he was standing next to Zhou Xu, so he naturally heard everything.
"Those three beautiful ladies will arrange for them to rest first, and say that I am busy with government affairs today and have no time to choose for the time being. Silk, go and check the three people on the list. Check them as carefully as possible and report back to me. .”
“Yes!”
In response, Hilke turned around and carried out the order.
After all, she is a woman who is going to be included in the harem, so she still has to find out the details to avoid causing some trouble for herself in the future.
After ordering this matter, Zhou Xu returned to his regular life again and did not show much interest in the three beautiful ladies who had been settled in the palace. .
In this way, a few days passed, and Silke came back with the completed information.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the investigation results of my subordinates, Li Bowen’s daughter does have a good reputation among the people. During the previous famine, she often went out to give porridge to help the people.”
After that, he reported the identities of the other two show girls.
Without exception, they are all the daughters of officials, and they all have the same idea as Li Bowen.
But in fact, under the premise of "outstanding appearance", there is really no better choice except the pampered daughter of an official.
After all, in this era, the living environment for ordinary women is really poor. Even if they are not emaciated due to malnutrition, their skin will be dark and rough because they have to work in the fields and are often exposed to wind and sun.
At first glance, most of them cannot meet the requirement of ‘outstanding appearance’.
On the other hand, those eldest ladies from high-ranking families, while having no worries about food and clothing, do not need to endure the wind and sun. They are pampered every day and naturally look fair and plump.
One white hides three ugliness. You can tell at a glance whether you are a woman from a wealthy family. This in itself is a manifestation of material strength. How can a woman from an ordinary family compare with this?
So this draft is said to be nationwide, but in fact it means selecting from those high-ranking families.
After all, it's not that easy for a golden phoenix to fly out of the chicken coop.
After listening to Silke’s report, Zhou Xu had a basic idea.
"Let's go, get the list and arrange to meet the three beautiful ladies in the Imperial Garden."
