Qin Mumu already knew these imperial wives, and was even very familiar with them. She knew each lady's net worth, personality, and preferences very clearly, and she could touch on their every detail with just a few words of conversation.
Almost every lady was smiling like a flower, which surprised a group of palace maids. They knew how difficult these imperial wives were in the past, but it was a miracle to see them being so harmonious today.
"The official's house, the saint's chariot has arrived, ladies and gentlemen, please be silent!"
Following the words of the female officer, a group of women who were as noisy as housewives in a vegetable market suddenly fell silent. The joking and joking appearance just now disappeared and returned to their gentle and generous appearance. Each one of them had a orchid temperament and was extremely noble...
Before Liu E entered the palace gate, she saw the beautiful ladies standing in a row outside the palace, but after glancing at them, these women couldn't help but step back. It was obvious that they were looking at them quietly with their heads lowered.
But she also noticed that Guo did not retreat, but looked at her with wide eyes. Liu E nodded with satisfaction. She had met Guo several times, and the Guo family was quite powerful in the court.
In comparison, she had better control. As for the other show girls, Liu E didn't care. They were all here to accompany the Guo family in the show. They were all women from official families, so naturally they were similar.
The only one comparable to Guo was Zhang, the granddaughter of Zhang Mei, the general of Zuo Xiaowei. It was too difficult not to pay attention to her. Her outstanding appearance among all the women made Liu E pay attention to her.
But when she thought of her birth, Liu E felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was the daughter of a general. If she was appointed as his queen in the future, the official family would be criticized.
Liu E was not only thinking about herself, she was also thinking about Zhao Zhen, and even more so the Tian family.
When the palm fan is raised, it is regarded as being promoted to a seat in the palace. This is not an official sitting in court, so there are no excessive rules. Although Qin Mumu is a little uncomfortable, she has to admit that women did not have much status in ancient times.
The court meeting Ye An described was completely different from the one in front of her. They were not officials. To put it nicely, they were friendly, but to put it badly, they were not worthy of the treatment of men in the court.
The palace maids filed in, and the maids in charge led the beautiful ladies into the palace. The whispers began at this time, but Liu E, the mother-in-law of the world, did not speak to stop the noise in the palace.
"There are no eldest princesses or noble ladies from the clan here today, but I have only invited ladies like you. Why? Because the family affairs of the Tian family are also equal to state affairs!"
A group of Gaoming ladies were so moved that their eyes shone with excitement. Seeing this scene, Qin Mumu couldn't help but sigh slightly in the crowd. Liu E's clever methods, whether in the court or among Gaoming ladies,
She can turn around freely.
Following the voice of the disciplinarian, these beautiful girls began to "perform". Qin Mumu didn't like this kind of performance inspection. These young and lively women seemed to have their hands and feet tied up, and their every move was restrained.
great.
He couldn't walk straight, as if he was floating on the ground, which made people uncomfortable. Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the throne of Cheng'en Palace, was even more unhappy. He had a gentle personality and was supposed to like gentle women, but
One thing is different. The reason why Zhao Zhen's character is gentle is because he is restrained, not because he is born with it.
The entire Song Dynasty, and even the Tian family, were biased towards Confucianism, and the social atmosphere also advocated being knowledgeable, reasonable, restrained and reserved. Under the influence of this temperament, the emperor would also become restrained and gentle.
When others were looking at the beautiful girl, only Qin Mumu's eyes were looking elsewhere, such as Zhao Zhen sitting in the main hall. In her eyes, Zhao Zhen had always been like the younger brother next door.
When there was no one around, he treated him more like a child rather than an emperor. Therefore, Zhao Zhen treated Qin Mumu like his own sister. When he met him in the harem, he would greet him lively and never stick to red tape.
.
Zhao Zhen happened to look at Qin Mumu, his eyes full of help. Qin Mumu certainly knew who he fell in love with. He looked at Zhang, who was as cautious as a bird among the beautiful ladies, and looked at Zhao Zhen for help.
, Qin Mumu shook his head gently.
Ye An told her that Mrs. Zhang had never been Liu E's first choice, and she would never be Liu E's first choice. Look at Ms. Guo who was standing at the front and taking the lead. Even the mother in charge deliberately let her show off, and others couldn't help but praise her.
As more and more eyes fell on her, Mrs. Guo became more confident and more dignified. Compared to the group of cautious beauties behind her, she stood out.
But in Zhao Zhen's eyes, the more prominent Guo was, the more pitiable Zhang became among the nuns. Although it was not as exaggerated as he imagined, the strong contrast gave Zhao Zhen this feeling.
A man will definitely have a strong desire to protect the woman he loves. This desire is the instinct of human emotion. It is a feeling engraved in genes and cannot be erased at all.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, deep down Zhao Zhen had developed a rebellious mentality. He loved the house and the black people, and hated the house and the black people!
The process of show girl drafting is complicated, compared with later drafts, it is more like a show.
In terms of appearance, there are many requirements, such as a cloudy bun with a misty maiden hair, a crescent-shaped eyebrow, bright eyes, bright red lips and white teeth, jade fingers and plain arms, a thin waist and fair skin, red makeup and fragrant limbs.
This is just the appearance. This alone has attracted a large number of people. Even if some people are not satisfied, they are still left because of their status.
The beautiful women in the Song Dynasty were not selected by universal suffrage, nor on such a large scale. They were only selected from the families of generals, prime ministers, envoys and other high-ranking officials.
Only after Zhu Yuanzhang, the commoner emperor, took charge of the country, did he stipulate: "Every prince, prince, concubine, and concubine of the emperor should be carefully selected to be a daughter of a good family. Those who enter will not be accepted. There are many concubines among the people."
The selection process of the beautiful ladies is very simple. In fact, after passing the test of appearance and behavior, the rest is the duel in front of the emperor. Liu E and Mrs. Gaoming observe the appearance of the beautiful girls from the dialogue.
The attitude of speaking and doing things can reflect a person's upbringing. This is an eternal truth.
The women present are not from official families. They can see this kind of etiquette at a glance, and can even see the characters and habits of the beautiful ladies from it.
Qin Mumu couldn't help but admire the power of the group of women next to her. Mrs. Guo just moved faster when Wanfu was around, and Mrs. Liu next to her whispered: "I'm afraid this one is spoiled at home, but her personality is more lively."
, I don’t feel restrained when meeting the saint. If there weren’t other people around, I would probably be able to come up to the saint and reminisce about the past.”
Qin Mumu smiled helplessly: "Having a lively personality is not a bad thing. Officials always value rules. This girl complements the official family a little bit. I think the saint values her very much!"
Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister, you don't know yet? The saint intends to select Ms. Guo as the noble daughter of this draft, and she will be rewarded with a high rank in the palace without even saying it!"
Qin Mumu looked at Mrs. Liu in surprise. She didn't expect that in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying of "secret operation". Looking at the other show girls, she felt that they were pitiful. They were not even qualified to compete. They were all here to accompany them.
