Not long after
The Queen Mother then set the specific date for the selection.
The news spread throughout the capital like a spring breeze.
When Governor Jiang learned about this, he was ecstatic.
When I think of my three beautiful daughters
He thought to himself, "At least my family will be chosen in this palace selection!"
With joy and expectation
Governor Jiang hurried back to his mansion.
The first thing he did when he entered the house
He ordered his servants to summon the three daughters to the spacious and bright hall.
Not long
Jiang Meiyu moves lightly with lotus steps
Walk into the hall slowly.
She looked up
I saw Jiang's father sitting upright on the armchair, sipping tea leisurely.
Father Jiang saw Jiang Meiyu coming in
A smile immediately appeared on his face
Quickly put down the teacup in your hand
He greeted her warmly, "Yu'er, come over here and sit down. Daddy has something important to discuss with you sisters."
Jiang Meiyu heard this
Nodding meekly
Walking lightly to his father's side
Sit down gracefully.
at this time
Father Jiang cleared his throat intentionally or unintentionally.
Seems to want to attract enough attention
Then, with a serious expression, he spoke, "Today, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother has already set an auspicious date for this selection. Therefore, Daddy has decided to have you three sisters attend this selection feast together."
However
Just as Jiang's father finished speaking
Jiang Qici, who was impatient, stood up suddenly.
With a face full of anger, she shouted loudly, "Father, I will absolutely not participate in any selection! Everyone in the capital knows that the current emperor suffers from a hidden illness and cannot have children. If I enter the palace without knowing why, won't my life be ruined?"
Talking
Jiang Qici became increasingly agitated
He actually started crying and making a scene in the hall.
"Although he is infertile, he is the current emperor after all. As long as we can enter the palace and gain the emperor's favor, our family will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Jiang Du persuaded earnestly
A hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
"Besides, the Emperor is still young and strong! Perhaps one day he will recover from his illness. By then, wouldn't it be easy for him to give birth to a son or daughter?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Governor Jiang
Then he continued to explain.
However
Jiang Qici was not moved at all
She sat on a chair
My hands kept rubbing the corners of my clothes
Suddenly she burst into tears and started making a scene: "Anyway, I'm not going! I already have someone I like in my heart. I like Prince Xian and I won't marry anyone else!"
Hearing this
Governor Jiang was slightly startled.
He thought to himself, "What? Prince Xian? If the emperor is truly infertile, he will need to choose an heir from among the princes. And this Prince Xian seems to have a good chance of success... So, I can't let all three of my daughters pin their hopes on the emperor alone."
The decision has been made
Governor Jiang made a decisive move and said, "In that case, Mu'er and Yu'er, you two should go and participate in the audition. This way, our family will have another chance. This matter is decided, and no more objections will be allowed!"
After saying that
He swept his eyes sharply over the people present
As if warning them not to go against his wishes.
Jiang Qimu and Jiang Meiyu looked at each other
They responded in unison: "Yes, Daddy."
Although Jiang Mu was somewhat reluctant
But under the majestic gaze of his father
I didn't dare say another word.
However
This is something Jiang Meiyu couldn't have wished for.
Because she was the only one who participated in this audition with joy and willingness.
So when she returned to her garden
My heart is filled with joy
I even couldn't help but hum a cheerful little tune softly.
Time flies
In the blink of an eye, the important day of the draft arrived.
This morning
Sunlight shines through thin clouds
They fell to the ground in large flakes.
Jiang Qimu and Jiang Meiyu rode in a gorgeously decorated carriage and slowly drove into the majestic and solemn imperial palace.
After entering the palace gate
I saw many beauties who came to participate in the selection standing neatly in three rows.
Because the number of participants in this draft is large and the quality is quite high
There is no need for a complicated primary selection process
Instead, it was directly selected by the honorable Queen Mother herself.
The Queen Mother sat on the high throne
Sharp eyes
The first thing to pay attention to is the figure of each show girl
After all, as the mother of a royal descendant
Being fertile is of vital importance.
The Queen Mother carefully examined the first row
Slowly saw the last row.
final
Her gaze rested on Jiang Meiyu.
This woman not only has a stunning beauty
Her figure is even more graceful and just right
You can tell at first glance that she is a person suitable for having children.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly
He asked, "Whose family are you from?"
Jiang Meiyu heard the Queen Mother ask
Hurry and take a step forward
She replied respectfully and gently, "Your Majesty, I am the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Governor Jiang."
The Queen Mother heard this
A satisfied smile appeared on his face
He said admiringly: "Well, Minister Jiang has given birth to such an outstanding daughter!"
Just then
Suddenly, a faint discussion was heard from the crowd: "She is just a concubine's daughter..."
