Chapter 756: The Beauties (Part 2)
As he was talking, Zhou Xu walked to the stone pavilion in the imperial garden and sat down. Meanwhile, one of his personal soldiers ran to summon the three beauties.
Soon, three figures appeared in his sight.
【Eyes that peek into secrets.】
Without waiting for the three to come closer, Zhou Xu instead looked at their attribute panels first, rather than their appearance.
With just one glance, Zhou Xu had already locked on the only candidate who met his requirements before he even saw her appearance, Li Qiner, the daughter of Li Bowen, the current director of the administrative department.
It was not because of her previous charity of giving out porridge that made Zhou Xu favor her, but because Li Qin'er was the only one among the three women who had three-star attributes!
When Zhou Xu looked at Jie Qihu's attribute panel before, he had already realized the importance of genes from both parents to offspring.
No matter how powerful Jie Liancheng is, his attribute panel will be equalized by an ordinary person with five dimensions and two stars.
Considering this point, compared with the other two whose five-dimensional attributes are all two-star, Li Qiner, who has three-star spiritual attributes, is undoubtedly more likely to give birth to excellent offspring with him.
Zhou Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with his current thoughts.
After all, whether his descendants are reliable or not will have an impact on the entire Great Zhou in the future and will affect the life and death of countless people.
From this point of view, the emperor's family affairs are indeed national affairs.
It is also worth mentioning that Li Qiner's loyalty is much higher than her father's. Somehow, it is as high as 75 points, which makes Zhou Xu a little confused.
Just when Zhou Xu was wondering so much, the three girls including Li Qin'er had already walked closer, saw his appearance clearly, and then their eyes lit up, and even their faces became a little brighter.
During this time, Zhou Xu, who was concentrating on Li Qin'er's attribute panel, just blinked his eyes and found that Li Qin'er's loyalty had increased from 75 points to 80 points in the blink of an eye!
“…”
[Good fellow, this woman is also a face lover. ]
In fact, it was not just Li Qiner, the other two concubines were also like this.
It was mainly Zhou Xu's appearance that really gave them a huge surprise.
They had never met him before, and the three women had complicated feelings about their Majesty. They had fantasies about him, hoping that he would be handsome and elegant, but at the same time they couldn't help but worry that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
It wasn't until I caught a glimpse of his true face that I felt relieved.
Everyone has a love for beauty. When one beautiful person and one ugly person stand in front of you at the same time, people will instinctively get closer to the beautiful one.
At the same time, good-looking people can leave a better impression on others when they first meet each other. This is something that cannot be denied.
For the three beauties, Zhou Xu sitting there was their future husband.
His deeds had long been circulated in the New World, so how could they not know about him? Even before they met him, they had already developed a feeling of admiration for him just by hearing about his deeds. Now that they saw him in person, his handsome face made their chests flutter like deer, up and down, with huge ups and downs in their emotions, but in return they were filled with even stronger joy.
During this time, Zhou Xu's sight also fell on the three women.
When their eyes met his, the three women lowered their eyes, not daring to look him in the eye.
It has to be said that in this era without cosmetics and artificial technological intervention, the three beauties who were able to stand out from the crowd are indeed beautiful in their own ways.
However, Zhou Xu's attention did not stay on the other two beauties for long, but was mainly focused on Li Qiner.
Li Qin'er, who was 28 years old, had grown into a graceful young lady with an unmade-up face. The moment her bright eyes met Zhou Xu's, her cheeks flushed and she avoided his sight.
At this moment, even if one had a character like Zhou Xu, he had to admit that this was indeed a pleasing woman.
After seeing the three beauties, Zhou Xu had an idea in mind, but he also changed his original idea.
"Draft an imperial decree to bring the three beauties into the harem and confer the title of Consort Li Qin'er..."
As he was speaking, Zhou Xu not only took the three beauties into the harem, but also conferred upon them the titles of Shufei, Defei and Xianfei respectively.
This system of concubines was already used by Yan Sheng, and Zhou Xu was too lazy to come up with anything new, so he just continued to use it.
The relevant intention was quickly conveyed.
At first, Li Bowen was still worried that the emperor would be furious if he sent only three beauties.
After learning that this was an imperial decree of reward and that his precious daughter Li Qin'er was conferred the title of Shufei, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the fact that all three beauties were taken into the harem, Li Bowen was not surprised at all.
In the past, all the beautiful girls who were selected were sent to the palace. If they were not favored by the emperor and made concubines, they would become maids in the palace. There was no possibility of returning them. But what Li Bowen didn't know was that Zhou Xu initially thought it was too troublesome and just wanted to pick a suitable one.
Among them, Li Qiner is the most suitable candidate overall.
But he changed his mind and realized that in the New World, Li Bowen was now the head of all officials, and those officials of the old dynasty basically followed his lead.
If he took Li Qin'er as his concubine at this time, considering the blessing of this identity, wouldn't Li Bowen become even more arrogant?
It is not a good thing that the ministers under him support the Unity Party.
He has just taken over the territory here, and in order to govern the New World, he needs too many talents.
However, the common people here were illiterate, and the scholars who could read and write basically came from wealthy and powerful families, leaving Zhou Xu with no choice but to accept it.
But if the old dynasty party headed by Li Bowen is allowed to develop, by then, in the New World, Li Bowen's words may be more effective than his.
However, according to the current situation, it is obviously not convenient for him to have a head-on conflict with these guys. The best way is to slowly split them from within.
Zhou Xu had never had an opportunity before, but now, the opportunity has come.
Including Li Qin'er, the other three beauties are daughters of officials. As for the remaining two, their fathers were ministers of six ministries in the old dynasty, and now they all hold important positions in the New World.
He now brought all three beautiful girls into the palace and made them concubines, while the position of queen remained vacant.
These officials must have hoped that their daughters could become queens and their grandsons could be made crown princes, so that they could rule the Zhou dynasty in the future.
And as long as they have this idea, they will never be of one mind!
According to Zhou Xu's idea, the most ideal situation should be to allow the party to split directly into three parts and check and balance each other.
Even if this effect cannot be achieved, allowing cracks to appear within them is a good thing.
