The emperor spoke, and the eunuchs in charge took the women away, leaving only eight in the palace. After these eight were conferred, the other beauties were allowed to go to the palace to listen to the conferrals.
In fact, who is chosen to be a concubine, who is chosen to be a concubine, who is chosen to be a beauty or something else, is not necessarily because of how outstanding the woman's appearance is and how popular she is with the emperor. Sometimes it still depends on her family background.
, it is usually easier for those whose families are high-ranking officials in the court to get a higher position. One person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. There are many people like this, but it is also common sense to rely on family background to obtain the title of concubine.
As an emperor who had just taken office, Ouyang Chen relied on the dedicated assistance of his ministers to bring their daughters into the harem, which was also a way to win over the hearts of his family.
How can an emperor not understand this principle? Therefore, in the previous batches, most of those who could be canonized as concubines were in this situation.
When Tao Yao's group also entered the palace, Ouyang Xing couldn't help but become nervous when he saw the pink and green figure. He glanced at Luan Xiaoqing. His expression was not much better than his. They were just waiting for that one
Human reaction.[
Taoyao is originally a child from the countryside. Her eyes are more lively and beautiful than those of ordinary ladies. She has not been tainted by the worldly sophistication and has always lived a relatively innocent life.
When her eyes collided with Ouyang Chen's calm gaze, not only one person was shocked. The simple little girl felt her heart beating wildly, bang bang bang.
Those black eyes were originally calm, but after meeting Tao Yao's eyes, the calmness suddenly became violent. Ouyang Chen almost jumped up, looked at Ouyang Xing and Luan Xiaoqing aside, and pointed at the scene.
The woman below asked: "What's going on? Why is she here? Ouyang Xing, what do you mean?"
There was unconcealable anger in Ouyang Chen's words, and the cold aura emanating from his body made people shudder.
"I am frightened, but the emperor is angry. This woman's name is Tao Yao. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was chosen to be one of today's female recruits. She is not what the emperor imagined."
Ouyang Chen suddenly felt short of breath, his head was a little dizzy, and his heart felt uncomfortable: "Kick this woman out, don't allow her to enter the palace."
"Your Majesty, please say something to Rong Chen." Luan Xiaoqing did not expect Ouyang Chen's reaction to be so violent, completely beyond his and Ouyang Xing's imagination. He was escaping and venting his anger. This was against him and Ouyang Xing's draft work.
He had no choice but to speak out.
"Speak." Ouyang Chen almost fell down on the dragon chair, covered with sweat. He would never have thought that she was not her! She would be another woman. He thought... He thought it was Ouyang Xing.
She also blended in with the selected women and brought her to him. He thought...
He felt so confused and just wanted to vent violently!
"I believe that the selection of girls should be based on their virtue, beauty, and women's skills. Although this Taoyao girl's family background is not as good as other people's, she has outstanding appearance. It can be considered that I carefully selected it for the emperor. I only hope that the emperor will look upon me.
For the sake of your hard work, you can keep Miss Taoyao, so as not to drive her out of the palace."
Taoyao, who was already frightened and stood there in a daze, listened to what Luan Xiaoqing said for her...
