Wanli Xinming

Chapter 140 Dialogue
Zhu Yijun sat behind the throne, and the ladies entered the hall one by one, calling them ministers and concubines, and then raised their heads to let the two palaces and the emperor take a closer look.

Zhu Yijun has great sympathy for these girls participating in the draft. In his opinion, these beautiful women are actually a clear symbol of the objectification of women in the imperial society.From beginning to end, they were like tools that were sent to the emperor's bed one by one. The so-called draft was just to check the "quality" of the tools.

And these women were sent to the palace, not as described in later TV dramas and romance novels, to have a vigorous love with the emperor or a certain elder brother-they were just reproductive tools used to continue the emperor's heir.

Later generations Zhu Yijun once read "Wan Shou Temple" written by Wang Xiaobo, and there is a passage that left a deep impression on him: "The so-called Lafayette is just an old woman with a yellow face. The reason why she is honorable is because one day in the past there was a A man, the emperor himself, crawled away from her, dragging a shot, weak. And that weak is the umbilical cord of history."

"The Umbilical Cord of History"!What a horrible and apt title.The participation of women in imperial society is closely related to this umbilical cord.And the umbilical cord that grew on Zhu Yijun's body, not only was not weak at this time, but, like every teenager whose hormones erupted violently, was in a state of hard pouting under the impact of the dense beauty of Yiluan Hall.

Fortunately, the thick dragon robe blocked his ugly appearance.Although his face was flushed, everyone's face was flushed in the hot Yiluan Hall in Dilong, and he could not be seen.Zhu Yijun had a boundless reverie in his heart, but a pair of eyes were like searchlights, carefully observing the young girl in front of him.

Although Zhu Yijun seems to think that all the girls have not fully grown yet, they are very green.However, maybe this growing body also affected his aesthetics, and every little beauty at this time made him feel different throbbing.

Some of them are down-to-earth, calm and demure; some are shy and timid, and I feel pity; some are ignorant, full of curiosity;

Due to the early stage of the draft, Zhu Yijun did not want to make a big deal and had a dispute with the two palaces.In order to appease the emperor, Empress Dowager Li promised that the choice of the nine concubines would be decided by Zhu Yijun herself.As for the first queen and the two concubines, you must refer to the opinions of the two palaces, especially the Empress Dowager Li.

"My concubine, Wang's, sees His Majesty! See the Empress Dowager!" A voice as clear as Huang Ying'er made Zhu Yijun's eyes light up again.

How many is this?Zhu Yijun was continuously attacked by beauty, and some semi-chaotic brains subconsciously popped up such a question.Looking carefully at the girl in front of her, she was also in the same cardamom years as she had just passed, her big eyes staring at the imperial case in front of the emperor.

Zhu Yijun guessed that these ladies may have been instructed not to look directly at the emperor, but in order for the emperor to see their faces clearly, they were all trained to stare at their chests.

This girl surnamed Wang is very beautiful, and what is even more outstanding is her temperament-she stood there quietly after saluting, like a clear pond, like a piece of white snow that no one has stepped on, and as if in the dark A warm yellow far light was quietly lit on the ground.

He held his breath for a moment, and then heard Empress Dowager Li ask behind him, "What's your name?"

The girl replied softly: "If you return to the Queen Mother, the concubine's nickname is Sister Xi, but she has no real name."

Zhu Yijun heard the Empress Dowager Chen speak again behind him: "What books have you read?"

Sister Xi still saluted steadily and replied, "I have read the "Nv's Commandments" and "The Book of Filial Piety", but I only recognize a few words."

The two palaces hummed at the same time, signaling Zhang Hong to lead her out.Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and wanted to stop her and ask a few more questions.

Afterwards, some girls passed by. The two palaces have asked, and some have seen it.Until Zhuang Jingjia came in, Zhu Yijun felt in a trance - the whole hall was lit up.

When she walked into the main hall, Zhu Yijun clearly heard the two palaces behind her taking a breath at the same time.In the hall, there was a low "hum" sound.

And Zhu Yijun's own heart seemed to be grasped, and in an instant, he understood that what Wei Chao described to him was not an exaggeration. Among these ladies, there is a real beauty.

At that time, he still laughed secretly in his heart, no matter how beautiful, can the semi-natural beauties of later generations be beautiful?But he ignored that in later generations, those people were just on the screen, how could he come into close contact with one.But this lively woman in front of him gave him a momentary urge to use all of his own in exchange for this woman's smile, and to spend a lifetime with her.

After she finished the salute, Zhu Yijun also calmed down.He calmed down and heard the hoarseness in Empress Dowager Li's voice, and asked the same question as before: "What's your name?"

The girl saluted and replied, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the concubine will be called Zhuang Jingjia."

"Which Jing? Which Jia?"

The girl replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, quiet 'Jing', Jiaqing's 'Jia'."

Empress Dowager Li gave a low "Oh", as if she was thinking that Jiaqing's 'Jia' was that Jia. In fact, several people had rosters in their hands, just looked down at them.

Zhu Yijun cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Does your name come from 'Qi Su Wei He? Yandou Jingjia'?"

Zhuang Jingjia lowered her head, a trace of red crawled on her cheeks, and listened to her reply in a low voice: "It is exactly what Your Majesty said."

Empress Dowager Chen also cleared her throat and asked, "Listen to your accent, are you from the south?"

Zhuang Jingjia replied: "Yes, the concubine is from Suzhou."

The Empress Dowager Chen smiled lowly, and said something incomprehensible: "Well, there is some appearance of Concubine Ye, the previous emperor praised her as a 'human appearance' - today there is another 'human appearance' in Suzhou ', it's so pretty."

Zhu Yijun's heart thumped, and in an instant, countless thoughts ran through his mind, including suspicion, resentment, and even if there was no fear.Empress Dowager Li coughed beside her, and said angrily, "On a festive day, why did my sister mention her?"

The Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "What my sister said is that I saw this beauty is rare, but I lost my words."

Listening to the dialogue between the two palaces, Zhuang Jingjia's heart was beating wildly.Not knowing what to do, he could only bow his head and say nothing.Empress Dowager Li's face turned cold, and she suddenly asked Zhang Hong, who was standing beside her, "The ancestor's family law, the empress must not choose a beautiful, fear of disaster. Why is this Zhuang's daughter selected?"

Hearing the sweat on his forehead, Zhang Hong knelt down and said, "It's the negligence of the slaves, please forgive the Queen Mother!" Seeing that the Slijian's palm print knelt down, the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving couldn't stand, and all knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yijun couldn't bear to see Zhuang Jingjia's pale face, and was so frightened by the Queen Mother Li that she couldn't stand.He interjected and laughed: "No wonder Zhang Hong for this matter, it was his son's decree, so that they don't have to think about it - this man is incompetent, loses the country and ruins his family, what does he do to a woman? The son thinks it's all about the beauty and misfortune. Something that doesn't matter."

Although these words are not in line with the current mainstream thinking, the viewpoint from a woman's standpoint naturally won the hearts of the two palaces.Empress Dowager Li smiled and said to Zhang Hong: "Since the emperor has a will, it's fine-you get up. Let the Zhuang family go out too."

Zhang Hong was grateful for the emperor's gentle cheeks, and stood up to signal the maid beside him to take Zhuang Jingjia out of the palace.

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, and Zhuang Jingjia, who was still pale, said, "You are a good girl. I like it very much." When Zhuang Jingjia heard this, her pale face suddenly turned into a big red cloth, and she almost stumbled to the ground.

Then there was a small smile on the corner of his mouth, like a budding flower, and his eyes had a hopeful color.

Seeing that the emperor was not solemn, Empress Dowager Chen coughed heavily.When Zhu Yijun turned to look at Empress Dowager Li with a shy face, she saw that her expression was indeed calm.
