eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 396 Daxing Xia Clan
The emperor responded to the Queen Mother Zhang's benevolent order and ordered a grand wedding in the winter of the first year of Zhengde.

Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites scolded Liu Jin in front of the king that day, saying "time is too tight". This reason is really outrageous.

But now it's already August, about four months away, and the big wedding is a grand ceremony of the country, how can we not be in a hurry?There are a lot of etiquette here, how to choose the envoy and deputy envoy, how to make the emperor's book, and the woman's father has to write the answer...even the clothing and decorations are all available.

There is nothing wrong with this.

In addition, Queen Mother Zhang also attached great importance to the wedding of her only son, and lived every day.

So Lin Shangshu recently entered the palace and was called diligent.

On August [-]th, he rushed into the palace again.But when they arrived at the attendants' room, only Jin Gui and Xie Pi were still there, but the emperor was nowhere to be seen.

That's because the emperor is very busy.

In summer, people with light makeup and light clothes, and people who have passed through layers of screening, walk gracefully and gracefully, with lotus blossoms at every step.

Zhu Houzhao has always felt that the atmosphere in the Forbidden City is not very good.After staying for so many years, it was only at this moment that I suddenly found that there was a burst of fragrant wind and beautiful scenery.

The shadow in the room and the light in the courtyard are separated at the threshold, and the woman who comes from nowhere in the long corridor adorns this small world colorfully.

I don't know when a young girl came to the corridor. She didn't wear makeup, but her color was like the morning glow reflecting the snow, her clear water eyes were full of hope, and her dripping red lips were sweetly pursed.A pair of beautiful eyebrows are like a crescent moon, full of shyness and charm.The black hair on the head is only tied into a simple bun, and the rest of the black hair is draped behind her back. When the breeze comes, the black hair flies up.

There is really a stunning beauty of ancient ladies.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at it for the first time, then subconsciously dodged his eyes, as if he was discovered by peeking on the street in his previous life.

Some people say that looking at too many beauties will cause aesthetic fatigue, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't believe this now. The two nobles in the palace and Qiu Yun are both very beautiful women. ...It's nice to be an emperor.

Qiu Yun on the side looked at the emperor secretly from the corner of his eye, and found that the emperor was actually averting his eyes, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Although the emperor's methods of controlling the court are sophisticated, he is still immature when it comes to women.

"Your Majesty...?" Liu Jin called softly, because he didn't know whether to continue or stop here.

Zhu Houzhao beckoned,
The old eunuch bent over and approached.But listen to the emperor ask,

"Is the Queen Mother the one who praised you?"

Liu Jin shook her head, "Return to His Majesty, no."

That said, there are better ones.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that this is a very difficult task. Who has the ability to choose the three most suitable from these 50 people?This is simply difficult for the strong.

"If Your Majesty likes it..." Qiu Yun also whispered, "It can be appointed by the imperial court."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, what if more than three were ordered?

He thought so in his heart, but his personality has always been stable, and it was really hard to say such frivolous words.

"Let me take another look."

So the second one came next, probably because of Qiu Yun's gatekeeping. The visitors were all made up with jade, their foreheads were as white as snow, and their small and flawless faces were as white as a white lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained by ice.

And the slender hands half exposed in the light cherry gauze sleeves also make people appreciate the beauty of frost and snow on the wrist for the first time.

In this situation... If everyone has exquisite facial features, then they can only win with temperament.

Zhu Houzhao more or less likes the cool feeling of being out of the world.People are probably like this, the more they have that inaccessible sense of nobility, the more they like it.It's just that this kind of temperament can only be used as a concubine, and the queen probably still has the temperament of "mother's world".

"Your Majesty, this is the one the Queen Mother praised."

About to reach the fourth person, Qiuyun reminded him like this.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at her, and she was indeed graceful and graceful at the same time. She crossed her hands in front of her lower abdomen. Naturally, she had a good face and posture, and the more important thing was her noble temperament, calm and dignified, and her eyes looked bright. When you smile, it makes you feel like a spring breeze.

"what is it call?"

"It's called the Xia family. His father is Xia Ru, the chief bookkeeper of Daxing County."

"Emperor Ming Zu Xun" clearly stated: All emperors, princes, concubines, and palace servants must be betrothed and married as children of good families, regardless of their location.Don't be sent by the ministers, for fear of treachery.But prostitutes are not allowed to get close.

The selection of marriages by the royal family in the Ming Dynasty was quite special among the various dynasties due to this ancestral system. Of course, in the early days, the families of noble officials were the main ones.

The civil servants also found that the harm of relatives was the least in this way.

With the current status of the head of the county, there should be no opinions from inside and outside the Manchu court.

"I know."

Liu Jin understood, and beckoned the people behind to move forward.

Zhu Hou took care of a few girls, all of whom were pure and pure, making people feel affectionate.However, as the emperor, he chooses the queen not only to look and like him,
In fact, the identity of the queen also needs to be considered.

To put it bluntly, at least you can't find someone like his queen...

When the time comes, protect the weak and favor the family members, bullying this and that for a few taels of silver all day long, and if he blames him, he will cry and cry...

He didn't even want to find someone who fought with other concubines in the harem.

At that time, he, the emperor, will fight with his courtiers outside the palace, and will use his brains to deal with these women inside the palace.

There is no way to pass this day.

In the end, the queen must be kind, but not only kind.

Because there are a lot of bad people in this world, while the empress does not care about others, she must be smart enough to be able to deal with people who care about her.

In this way, this candidate is actually very difficult to find.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao opened the document in his hand, the cover was the Daxing Xia family, and more detailed information was recorded inside...

Its appearance is slim and graceful, peerless,
Its nature is docile and kind, demure and elegant.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't tell his character at a glance, so he could only believe what was written on it.

"Liu Jin, let the Daxing Xia family come over again."

"Yes. Do you want her to come in?" Liu Jin was a little surprised, secretly remembering that the emperor originally liked this one.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, "Come in, I have something to ask her."

The Xia family was also a little surprised, she thought she was relieved that she passed smoothly, but she didn't expect the little father-in-law next to her to tell her to go back again.

This time going back is different from just now, the emperor called her.

The little eunuch reminded, "After Xia Shuyuan entered, she knelt down and saluted, and said Long Live Your Majesty."

Xia gave a light 'ah', this reminder is in place, because she did forget because of nervousness.

"Thank you."

"It should be, it should be."

Among these people, it is hard to say who will be extremely noble in the future. They try not to offend them as much as possible. It would be even better if they can win some favors.

Xia Shi held her breath tightly, reminding herself all the time, the next move.

"Daughter Xia, see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

"Be flat."

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty."

Her voice was sweet, but trembling at this moment.

"Don't be nervous. I have a few questions for you. What characters can you read? Have you read any books?"

The Xia family didn't dare to lie, and replied: "Minnie girls can read, but they don't read many books."

"You look up."

The girl blushed with embarrassment, as if she could squeeze out water.

As she got closer, Zhu Houzhao could see more clearly that she was indeed a beautiful woman, her eyes were like autumn waves, her mouth was like vermilion cherry blossoms, her nose was like hanging gallbladder, her white teeth were fine and clean, she was dressed in a light green long dress, and she was even more beautiful. A feeling of being out of the dust that can't eat the fireworks of the world.

"Go back."

Many words are not suitable to speak at this time.And since the queen mother has already praised her, there is no need to say some things.

After that, the flow continues.

But when No. 16 was alone, Zhu Houzhao smiled playfully. He looked up at Qiu Yun sideways and found that Qiu Yun was also slightly red in the face.

Because this girl looks somewhat similar to Qiuyun.

"This person is an inverted beauty."

The emperor spoke with a smile, but it actually had other meanings.

Qiu Yun glanced at her coquettishly and slightly panicked, "Your Majesty, this is outside..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, but it was rare to see her like this, "It's good outside, it's good outside..."

"What, it's better to go outside."

Zhu Houzhao alluded meaningfully, "Ah, it's good inside, it's good inside..."
