Shen Yuyao did not stop her, but just smiled and waved to Xia Xiaoxian.
Go and see it, really see it.
Xia Xiaoxian slowly walked up to the women, one by one, and circled around them to look at them.
The women could only lower their heads with shy looks on their faces.
[It's not my father who's choosing a concubine, why are you still embarrassed to go in? ]
Xia Xiaoxian stopped beside Feng Yuanyuan.
As expected of a mother and daughter, Xia Xiaoxian looked around and still thought Feng Yuanyuan was the prettiest.
[Well, this woman should be considered the most beautiful woman in the room.]
[Except my mother, of course.]
Shen Yuyao smiled when she heard this.
Feng Yuanyuan was favored because she looked very much like her mother. The book says she was "naturally gifted and skilled at playing the jade flute."
[“Suddenly I heard the sound of a jade flute from the sky, and I listened to the sound of a solitary person walking under the flowers. The thirty-six palaces were all the same autumn color, and I didn’t know where the moon was shining brightly.”]
[The King of Qi also wrote this poem for her.]
King Qi? Best playmate of siblings Shen Yuyao and Shen Yiyi.
[What a pity...]
What a pity?
Why don’t you say it?
When Shen Yuyao heard Xia Xiaoxian's inner voice suddenly stop, she couldn't help but look at Feng Yuanyuan twice.
This woman does seem to be somewhat similar to herself.
Xia Xiaoxian just said it was a pity and did not tell Shen Yuyao about her ending. Shen Yuyao felt like she was being scratched by a cat and became even more curious.
The people next to Feng Yuanyuan are Lu and Huang.
The three of them had been standing together since Shen Yuyao entered the room, and they were clearly more cordial than the others. It seemed that they had formed a close friendship on the way from the capital to Yanjing.
[Lü was the daughter of a military officer from the neighboring Li Dynasty. She was the cause of the Lü-Yu Rebellion, yet no one knows that Lü was a victim of injustice. What a pitiful person!]
What the hell is the Lu Yu Rebellion?
Does "big injustice" mean being wronged?
Shen Yuyao read his inner thoughts, but the doubts in her eyes grew heavier.
[Huang was the daughter of the Deputy Commander of the Central Army of the neighboring Li Dynasty.]
[She had already secretly betrothed herself to someone else when she was 15 years old. However, because her family coveted power and wealth, they sent her to the palace of the Li Dynasty, and then to the Ningwang Palace.]
[It was sent back and forth like an object.]
[Alas! What a pity!]
This is really pitiful, but fortunately there was no precedent of marriage alliance in the Great Xia Dynasty.
This saves me from having to worry about the little fairy baby in the future.
But Xiaoxianbao said it was a pity for her?
Why again?
[Ms. Li was the daughter of the magistrate of Gong'an Prefecture in the neighboring Ly Dynasty.]
During the Lu Yu Rebellion, she was the most dignified woman among the women of the Joseon Dynasty.
"I'm just waiting to die. Why bother inviting others? I should die alone," were the resounding words she recorded in the Three Lives Book.
It's the Lu Yu Rebellion again. What kind of rebellion is this?
It's annoying that you don't explain it clearly.
But since Xiao Xianbao said it was good, then it was good. Ask the people in the palace to take good care of her on a daily basis.
Han was a daughter of the royal family of the neighboring Joseon Dynasty. She was kind, respectful, and frugal, and she enjoyed a good death because of her kindness to the palace ladies.
Fortunately, there are still some who can have a good ending!
[Strange, among the seven women sent here, five are noble ladies from the Joseon Dynasty!]
Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows.
Neighboring Ly Dynasty?
Why did the Queen Mother suddenly send so many noble ladies from the neighboring Li Dynasty to Prince Ning's Mansion?
Xia Xiaoxian didn't explain, so Shen Yuyao could only sigh softly.
She didn't want Xia Xiaoxian to know that she could understand Xia Xiaoxian's thoughts.
If Xia Xiaoxian knew about this and never spoke in my heart again, it wouldn’t be so fun anymore.
[Liu and Wu were both noble ladies of the Great Xia Dynasty. They were virtuous and gentle, and they died peacefully.]
Shen Yuyao nodded slightly. It seems that the women of our Great Xia Dynasty are docile and the harem is peaceful.
"Mom, I've finished reading it."
Xia Xiaoxian jumped back to Shen Yuyao's side, lying obediently on Shen Yuyao's lap, her eyes still staring at those women.
"Little Princess, what did you see?" Xu Yunxuan joked, "You can't possibly see their future fate."
Before Xu Yunxuan traveled through the book, there was also such a group of beautiful girls in the book.
It’s just that she herself has a bad memory, and Xu Yunxuan can only remember Feng Yuanyuan’s general fate.
However, Xu Yunxuan remembered that in the original book, the Xu family was quite dislikeful of these women from the Li Dynasty.
In the eyes of the original owner, Xu, they were all basically foxy types, and none of them were good people.
But Xu Yunxuan is now a modern person. When she looks at this group of women with her own inherent thinking, her views are similar to Xia Xiaoxian's.
They are just poor people played by fate.
Xu Yunxuan looked at these women with some compassion in her eyes.
[The King of the Li Dynasty was truly flattering, offering so many beauties at once.]
[I wonder how many more he has sent to other princes' palaces?]
[The ruler of the Li Dynasty really has a good plan. In the future Great Xia Dynasty, no matter which prince ascends the throne, there will be women from the Li Dynasty around him.]
Shen Yuyao quite agreed with Xia Xiaoxian's words.
A weak country has no diplomacy.
The weak ruler of the Li Dynasty could only sacrifice these weak women in exchange for his own wealth and glory. Alas!
What a great age, what a great look.
From now on, once you enter the mansion of a marquis, it will be as deep as the sea!
Looking at these beautiful women in front of him, he was still confused and stood blankly in the hall.
Shen Yuyao suddenly remembered that it seemed that these victims were waiting for her, the mistress of Prince Ning's Mansion, to arrange their fate.
But who isn’t being arranged by someone else?
As noble as the wife of Prince Ning, Shen Yuyao faced the reward from the Queen Mother.
In fact, it is impossible to refuse!
Shen Yuyao calmed down and turned to call Bai Zhi.
"Baizhi, clean up the Chuxiu Palace in the palace and provide a place for these young ladies to live. Send a few nurses to teach them a lesson."
"Although Prince Ning's Mansion is small, it still has some rules. Let them learn the rules first!"
Bai Zhi smiled and replied, then turned to the group of women and said, "Young ladies, please follow me to Chuxiu Palace. The princess is tired."
The women suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly bowed to Shen Yuyao and said goodbye.
Shen Yuyao smiled faintly, "Go ahead, and forget about the morning and evening greetings for now."
Shen Yuyao really doesn't like these red tapes, but as the mistress of Prince Ning's Mansion, many conventional rituals are unavoidable.
"On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you can come to Ningkang Palace to pay your respects and discuss matters."
"Your Majesty, may you be well. I will take my leave!"
The spacious front hall suddenly became cold and deserted after the women left.
Shen Yuyao saw that snowflakes were falling outside the window again, and it was really too cold.
"Shiso, light some golden red charcoal."
"I will go right away."
Shen Yuyao and Xu Yunxuan sat opposite each other, staring at each other.
Xia Xiaoxian next to him also felt bored and lay on the chair in a daze.
"Yunxuan, the treasure map..." Shen Yuyao couldn't help but think of the treasure map again.
