Chapter 1392 The Foolish Empress 15
When King Duan heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"
"Why did you kneel down again?" Xining looked so distressed that he almost couldn't jump: "I need help again. My body is still weak. Help me up quickly."
The chief steward next to him immediately came up to help King Duan with a whisk in his hand.
It seems that even if King Duan has the intention to rebel, he has temporarily stopped. Even if there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, they would not be able to withstand the fate of being punished and killed by the whole world for killing a king.
Moreover, the news has spread outside, and now Prince Duan has to leave in a hurry. If anything goes wrong with the Empress, he will definitely take the blame.
Xining was in a good mood: "Those who haven't been selected over there, pick four who are good at tailoring and embroidering."
The chief manager immediately took out the booklet, opened it and started reading: "Yang Cai'er, Zhang Ruyi, Shen Yingzhu..."
Xining was even more satisfied. He was indeed a talent and had prepared everything properly. We even prepared a list of personnel information!
Some names were called but no one came out. Those were those who were eliminated just now. Those who were still there came out with secret joy when their names were called.
There were eight calls in total, and then the chief steward stopped, turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty, these are the workers in each department who have done a good job, two embroiders, two tailors, two weavers, three third-class maids, There is also a medical woman.”
Xining looked around: "Well, yes, I want them all. Kowtow to King Duan."
The eight people were overjoyed and immediately knelt down, shouting together: "Thank you, King Duan!"
King Duan smiled bitterly, "Okay, I can't push back the ones just now, so here are eight more."
Before it was over, I heard the empress say from the side: "For the rest, don't stand there, dance for me. Whoever dances beautifully and brilliantly, I'll give it up!"
When the maids heard this, they reacted quickly and immediately ran up two steps, pushed themselves in front, and started dancing.
There are many people inside who can't dance. They are all palace maids, embroidering and weaving, and waiting on their masters. Who can dance? But for this rare opportunity, I risked my life and jumped up. The movements are stiff and stiff, not like dancing, but like radio gymnastics.
No matter, whether it's the rice-planting dance in my hometown or the master dance, let's do it first.
For a moment, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly. King Duan was so scared that he almost covered his face. His Majesty really tried his best for his beauty pageant.
The chief steward glanced sideways, and the empress looked very happy, so she smiled and shouted: "Yes, just dance like this, let your majesty and King Duan see it. If you dance well, you will be selected!"
< br>
With a lively shout, the palace maids danced, danced and twisted even harder.
The empress also urged: "Brother, you choose, choose!"
King Duan took a deep breath, steady, steady: "Your Majesty~"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the empress had a serious face: "Are you worried that the main concubine and the concubine in the palace will not agree? Humph, they dare. They have been married for more than a year and have no children yet, so they should make arrangements to help raise the concubine. Either they give You give birth to a child, or don’t stop me from doing a beauty pageant for my royal brother.”
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." The chief steward, who was able to adapt to the changing circumstances, smiled along with him: "Your Majesty, Prince Duan, your Majesty also has good intentions. Seeing that you don't have an heir yet, he is worried about you."
Xi Ning rolled her sleeves: "Humph, if you continue, outsiders will say that the emperor is sick and can't have children!"
Uh~, Prince Duan was speechless for a long time, why does this empress dare to say anything? Do you really regard him as your royal brother?
The final salute: "I only rely on His Majesty's arrangements."
Xining's gloomy face softened slightly: "Are you afraid that they will make trouble? That's fine, I will make the decision for you!"
Then he smiled and said: "Jump, twist your waist!"
The chief steward also shouted from the side: "Did you hear that? Your Majesty said, twist your waist, twist your whole body. Hahaha..." King Duan originally thought he was drunk, but later he was completely drunk.
Then I heard the empress pointing and saying: "This, yes, it's the one wearing hibiscus silk flowers on his head. He can twist well and has a soft waist. He is selected."
The general manager also shouted loudly: "Did you hear that? Step aside, you are selected!"
The palace maid immediately ran to the side. After two steps, she felt something was wrong. She stopped, knelt down in front of the empress and Prince Duan, kowtowed, and then continued running happily. The hibiscus color on the face is more beautiful than the one on the head.
A palace maid suddenly had inspiration and raised one leg so high that it was almost above her head. Her meridians have been soft since she was a child. If it weren't for the fact that after entering the palace, she couldn't move around at will, which has deteriorated a lot. Before entering the palace, she could carry it over her head.
When Xining saw it, he was happy and pointed: "Okay, you, you, you, take it!"
King Duan could no longer think of etiquette and simply rolled his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid immediately knelt down, kowtowed and then went to the side to wait.
That’s okay too! So the maids hurriedly tried their best, lifting their legs, bending back, and even twisting their waists into belly dancing.
Xining picked four more people with good looks and good figures, making a total of twenty.
After the others leave, let them all stand in front of you. Looking around, they were all pleasing to the eye. They were all fat and thin. Not to mention the men, she felt like they were all dazzling.
He nodded with satisfaction: "Draw up a decree and give these twenty to King Duan. If there are any heirs, report them to the capital immediately and I will reward them separately."
Sure enough, this beauty pageant is for Prince Duan's heir, and the empress will reward her separately, and she might just make her a concubine.
The maids were overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
But King Duan stood there, his jade face turned blue, and he vaguely felt that he would be eaten alive by so many beauties after he returned.
Xining took a sneak peek and felt happy. This is how it should be, and you have to use your brain in space. Give him a fertile land and a barren land to give him something to do. In addition, there are many beauties waiting for him, and he will have time to rebel after giving birth to a lot of children. King Suantuan has more energy than ordinary people.
The twenty selected maids all entered the room with smiles on their faces and full of longing to wait, and then they would go to the fiefdom with King Duan.
When King Duan walked out, his eyes were straight and his feet were as light as stepping on cotton.
As for those who were not selected, although they were aggrieved, they were not too angry. After all, the requirements chosen this time are not ordinary. It is best to be illiterate, and it is best to have a dead family. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you lose the election.
The next day, while the empress was still in court, she announced the imperial decree of reward. As a result, all the ministers immediately praised the empress, saying that the empress was benevolent and cared for the late emperor's heirs, allowing them to flourish, and the Chen Dynasty continued to flourish.
One night, King Duan also figured out that these maids were selected in front of him. After asking around, it turned out that they were all selected temporarily by various palaces and departments, so there should be no suggestion of spying.
For the empress to have such a heart, she really treated him like an older brother. Otherwise, I wish he had no heirs and all of them died.
Moreover, these maids were all rewarded by the empress. When they were taken back, the two concubines at home would not dare to say anything.
Since beauties are now available, anyone who refuses to accept them is a fool. No matter what, I can't push it away, whether there is an imperial edict or not, I can't push it away.
So I knelt down to salute and thank you! Everyone is happy.
