Chapter 827 Is this the beginning of an open and secret struggle?
What?
All the ministers were stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
The six ministers looked at each other, still a little confused.
Several people looked at each other, frowning and blinking.
Right Prime Minister: What did I hear just now? Is my hearing impaired?
Left Prime Minister: I also suspect that I heard it wrong. How could our emperor say such a thing!
Minister of Rites: Is it because the emperor has been holding it in for too long and wants to do something big?
Minister of War: I said that men are lustful! I guess the emperor wants to rebel!
When they said they wanted the emperor to take a concubine, the emperor and the empress were angry but they didn't show it very obviously. Instead, it was the little princess who reacted the most! They
started to punish them directly.
They taught a lesson to the ministers who proposed to choose a concubine and those who were ready to send their daughters and granddaughters.
They only taught three or four of them a lesson. The others were all well behaved and didn't dare to have those little ideas anymore.
But now...
why did the emperor suddenly change his mind?
Did the little princess know? Did the empress know? Wasn't the emperor afraid of facing the two people's stormy challenges after he returned?
No one dared to move.
The emperor glared at them, "Can't you hear what I said?"
The Minister of War asked timidly, "Your Majesty, do you want to discuss this matter with the little princess?"
The emperor snorted coldly, "What to discuss with her!"
Hearing the impatience in the emperor's tone, several ministers couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the emperor is serious this time.
Hahaha, their children finally have the opportunity to enter the palace.
This is a good idea. Several people were smiling when they went out.
However, the emperor said that he wanted images of all women of appropriate age, and they had to tell other ministers.
But for their own children, they must find the best painter.
When Yuan Baobao learned the news, he was also stunned.
Xiu'er asked worriedly, "Little Princess, is the Emperor really going to choose a concubine?"
"Should we go to the palace to see the Empress now?"
It was a pity that she had thought that the Emperor was a loyal man, and that he could keep himself clean despite being in a high position!
Yuan Baobao frowned and pondered.
After a while, he suddenly realized something, "My father is not that kind of sentimental person! There is only my mother in his heart, and other women are probably nothing in front of him!"
Xiu'er...
Little Princess, do you want to see the order the Emperor just issued?
He has asked those ministers to send all the portraits of women of marriageable age in their families to the palace. Do you still think he is a loyal man?
Xiu'er opened her mouth, and for a moment she didn't know how to persuade the little princess.
But the little princess waved her hand, "The emperor suddenly wants a portrait of a woman. What do you think those young and beautiful girls will think?"
Xiu'er replied listlessly, "They will definitely dress themselves up and make themselves more beautiful!"
"After all, if you are chosen by the emperor, it will be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and you will fly directly to the tree to become a phoenix!"
Yuan Baobao nodded, "Go and call all the shop owners here, I want to hold a small meeting with them!"
Xiu'er...
isn't her master too angry and stupid? At this time, he still has to hold a meeting for the shop owners!
"Princess, the queen..."
"My dear Xiu'er, don't worry. My mother has been in the palace for so many years, she can still handle such little storms!"
[Miss Xiu'er's composure is still not good enough! 】
【This is the legendary emperor who is so anxious that the eunuch will die! 】
Xiu'er...is she wrong to be anxious?
Forget it, the little princess and the queen are not anxious, so what should she, a servant, be anxious about?
【Those young women will definitely start a crazy shopping mode! 】
【What I have to do here is to let the shopkeepers of each store prepare the things to display, and they must target young and beautiful women! 】
【By the way, some new clothing products must be launched too! 】
【Hahaha, I'm going to make a fortune this time! 】
Miss Xiu'er...her master is still her master after all! She feels that she and her master are not on the same level.
When she was still worried about her master and his mother, her master had already thought about how to make a lot of money!
This is the most qualified idea for a businessman.
After Yuan Baobao arranged everything, a whole morning had passed.
Thinking of the huge amount of silver that would be deposited into the account in batches, Yuan Baobao was very excited. Did
she care about that little bit of silver? She only cared about the feeling of making money.
...
The guest building, the top two floors are VIP rooms, and the first floor is a lobby.
Usually when it is not meal time, there are many people drinking tea and eating snacks here, and it is very lively.
This is also the largest restaurant and teahouse in the whole capital.
Occasionally, there are people singing on the first floor.
It is particularly lively here today.
But what surprised everyone was that there were many more young and beautiful girls in the lobby on the first floor.
They all looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, and were all beautiful and extraordinary.
"Sister Nuan, you are still amazing!"
Although there were quite a lot of women, they also gathered around several tables.
It was obvious that they all had their own small circles.
In a circle near the window, a group of people were surrounding a woman in white.
The woman had a coquettish smile on her face, and her face was shy and charming.
"Sister Yu'er, please don't say that!"
"Sister Nuan, isn't what I said true?"
The woman who just spoke had a coquettish face and a cute pout.
"In the past, those people were talking about Sister Nuan, who was already past the age of marriage and had been waiting at home. Now you finally waited for the emperor to select beauties, and Sister Nuan, you are so beautiful and talented, you will definitely be chosen by the emperor!"
The woman called Sister Nuan had a glimmer of gloom in her eyes.
But she quickly suppressed it.
In her heart, she thought to herself, this is really a fool!
Maybe, there are indeed many people in the capital who say this, but this idiot never thinks about it. Those people said they did it secretly, so how could she bring it up so blatantly.
Doesn't she know that what women hate most is being told that they are old?
Besides, is she old? She is only eighteen years old this year, and the emperor will definitely like mature people like her.
Anyway, she is bound to win this beauty pageant.
"Oh, you are right, Ouyang Nuan is already eighteen years old, and she has long been an old maid that no one wants. Only you are still licking her crazily here!"
A woman at the next table sneered, "It's not like me. I was just fifteen years old and happened to meet the emperor who was going to choose a beauty pageant. Do you think God is helping me?"
This bitch!
Ouyang Nuan couldn't help but clench her hands tightly. They all teased her about her age!
Does the emperor look at age? It must be appearance and talent!
I am one of the best in the capital. If the emperor really wants to choose a woman, the first choice must be me!
"Sister Yujie, do you think you can be chosen at the age of fifteen? The emperor doesn't choose age!"
Ouyang Nuan curled her lips in disdain.
