Chapter 28: Draft
January 3rd, early in the morning.
As soon as Zhao Yan had breakfast, Empress Dowager Zhang came over with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family has selected fifty women for you, all of whom are good girls with both talent and beauty. Do you want to choose in the afternoon? Try to settle the marriage in February." Empress Dowager Zhang looked concerned and completely regarded Zhao Yan as her own son.
Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll meet you in the afternoon!"
If Zhao Yan dares to say he will not see him, or if he is still young, he is not in a hurry to get married. Within half a day, the memorials on the Dragon Case can be piled up to two meters high.
As an emperor, it is no longer his own business to pass on his family line, but a major event for the entire Zhou court.
Therefore, he could only agree first. If he saw something that he liked, he would just stay with it first. If he didn't feel liked, he would all politely decline.
"Okay, then Ai's family will prepare and make sure to satisfy Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Zhang left happily.
...
Nearly noon, Wanbao Tower, in a boudoir.
Lu Nianwei sat in front of the bronze mirror and, under the service of two maids, began to dress up.
Pearl powder, red rouge, thin eyebrow pencil, red lipstick, flower palette sticker.
All kinds of dressing utensils are available.
This time, her makeup was slow and exquisite. It took her half an hour before Lu Nianwei walked out of the room.
At this time, Lu Nianwei was wearing a light green floral long skirt, with long hair tied up, and her body was no longer as naughty and cool as before. Against the backdrop of her makeup, she felt like a lady from a family.
At this time, Wan Hong, the owner of Wanbao Tower, came over.
"Princess Nabuya, do you really have to take risks and assassinate the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty? We have other ways!" Wan Hong persuaded.
Lu Nianwei, whose real name is Nabuya, is the youngest daughter of Beimeng Dahan and the real aunt of the young marshal Ergu.
But Lu Nianwei and Ergu are not the same.
The battle for the throne in Northern Mongolia was far more cruel than that of the Great Zhou.
Since last year, Northern Meng Da Khan has been in critical condition and may die at any time.
The position of young marshal is equivalent to that of the prince of the Great Zhou.
Originally, the position of the young marshal should have been inherited by the Northern Meng Da Khan selected any of his three sons, and there was no chance for the eldest grandson of Ergu, the emperor.
But his three sons led their tribe members to kill each other because of robbing the throne.
Ergu saw his father being killed by one of the uncles with his own eyes. In a furious manner, he killed all of the two uncles.
Therefore, Ergu became the young marshal who controlled everything in Northern Mongolia at the age of less than 30.
Half a year ago, in order to control all the Northern Mongolian army in his hands, Ergu promised to marry Lu Nianwei to the son of a general under his command.
In Northern Mongolia, women have a very low status. Although Lu Nianwei is the daughter of the Han Dynasty and Ergu's sister-in-law.
But as long as the chips are high, she can still be given away as goods.
Lu Nianwei didn't want her fate to be controlled, so she escaped from Northern Meng and came to the Great Zhou.
The Wanbaolou stronghold was left by Lu Nianwei's father, with the purpose of monitoring the various situations of the great officials and nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Just the day before yesterday, the Northern Monarch envoy Jeddah discovered Lu Nianwei's existence. After he returned, he would definitely inform Ergu and arrest him.
If Lu Nianwei insists on not marrying that person, she will make immortal contributions.
After Lu Nianwei learned that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was going to give a draft, she was overjoyed and immediately decided to replace one of the women and enter the palace to assassinate.
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when a beautiful girl enters the palace, she must stay in the palace for one night. This night is to judge whether they have hysteria, sniffles or have any hidden diseases.
It is an excellent opportunity for assassination.
If Lu Nianwei killed the Emperor of Great Zhou, she would have enough confidence to choose the life she wanted.
"The opportunity must not be missed. If I can kill the Emperor of Great Zhou, it will be considered to have made meritorious service for Beimeng!" Lu Nianwei said firmly.
"well!"
Wan Hong sighed, if Lu Nianwei was a man, she would never be worse than Ergu. It was such a fate that it was so good!
Afterwards, Lu Nianwei got on the carriage entering the palace.
She replaced Cao Ling'er, the daughter of Cao Guangshi, the governor of Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is located in a remote place. Cao Ling'er was recommended by her father and came to Changdan City three days ago. She had never seen anyone in the palace.
Moreover, from the portrait, Cao Ling'er and Lu Nianwei's appearance are somewhat similar, so Lu Nianwei sent someone to put Cao Ling'er under house arrest.
In the afternoon, carriages slowly drove into the imperial city.
These girls all dream of becoming queens, hoping to get favor from the emperor.
Once a phoenix becomes a phoenix, his entire family will reach the top.
Lu Nianwei was also looking forward to meeting the emperor of the Great Zhou. She heard that the emperor who ascended the throne by the prince was quite extraordinary, and from the latter's resolute killing of scholars and officials and his performance at the dynasty meeting, she seemed to be a good emperor.
But from the perspective of Northern Meng, the more wise the emperors of the Great Zhou, the greater the threat they would be.
When the beautiful girl entered the palace, there was an extremely tedious process. After an hour, Lu Nianwei and other fifty beautiful girls were sent to a palace collectively.
A whole circle of white veil was hung around the hall.
According to the Great Zhou clan system, the emperor had to observe the beautiful girl from the white veil.
The show girl is divided into five groups, each with a sign. If the emperor takes a fancy to it, he can turn it on.
Moreover, even if the emperor likes a certain woman, he cannot be completely sure.
The empress dowager must also review it again, observe her words, behaviors, and family, and confirm that there is no problem at all, then she will become a talented person to serve her in bed.
If the emperor is very satisfied, he will be qualified to become the queen.
Fifty beautiful girls all came from thousands of choices, and everyone's beauty and knowledge were extraordinary.
At this moment, they were nervous, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and waiting for their fate to be changed.
After a moment, a sound of footsteps came from behind the white veil.
The girls knew that it must be the emperor and the great-looking ones. They immediately adjusted their standing posture and took the lead in the best-looking posture.
Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhao Yan walked slowly to the white veil and sat on two chairs respectively.
Xizi whispered loudly: Kneel!
Immediately, fifty beautiful ladies knelt down and shouted: Long live Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother is at peace!
Zhao Yan has never experienced such a thing, and he is quite curious in his heart. Maybe he can really fall in love with him at first sight!
Queen Mother Zhang waved her hand and said, "Let's start!"
Immediately, five wooden signs were placed in front of Zhao Yan, with the name of the beautiful girl's family background written on them.
At the same time, the five girls walked slowly and came one meter away from the white veil.
At this distance, Zhao Yan could clearly see the appearance of the five people.
Five beautiful girls stand tall and tall, and in terms of appearance and temperament, each of them is beautiful.
Seeing that Zhao Yan had not spoken, Empress Dowager Zhang thought the latter was a little shy, so she immediately took the lead and asked, "What articles do you read while studying at home? Let's take turns to talk about it!"
The five beautiful ladies were not nervous and answered separately, but their answers were nothing more than Confucian classics, female commandments and internal teachings.
The answers are decent and the conversation is elegant.
Queen Mother Zhang was happy when she heard it, but in Zhao Yan's heart, marrying a wife is living at home. If she is every day, then what fun is there?
