"Quiet."
The fourth elder brother thought about it for a long time, and the words popped out of his mouth.
Quiet Don't be so sorry for words "What are the requirements for that family lineage and appearance?"
Zhao Yan had to ask patiently.
"None."
The fourth elder brother cherishes words like gold.
The slanting sun reflected a touch of bamboo shadow on the shark screen window, and the light and shadow were mottled and floated on the side of the fourth elder brother's face, which was the face of a delicate young man, with a calm and quiet face that did not match his age.
There is no requirement for family background and appearance, only for being quiet.
In other words, is this the standard for the prince to choose a concubine?
Zhao Yan wanted to cry for a while.
"The fourth brother asks for beauty from the concubine, what's the use of being quiet and being beautiful and docile, put it by your side, and add fragrance to your red sleeves" Ah Yu came out of the inner room, shouting.
Zhao Yan's forehead jumped, "Didn't you tell you to go to the back to take care of your younger siblings, why did you run to the front hall" Zhao Yan is nothing more than considering that her son is still young, so she is not called a mixture.
I didn't expect this little rabbit cub to be a big person, but he knows a lot, and he is very good at playing Ah Yu had already rushed to the side of the fourth elder brother, chattering crookedly like a monkey, "When it comes to red sleeves and fragrance, it's not enough to have a beautiful face."
This is not a vase decoration, it is best to be literate and hyphenated, proficient in poetry and books, and have nothing to do to chat. ” The fourth elder brother said seriously: "I won't be idle. ” Ah Yu's gentle and childish face froze, and the sentence "I won't be idle" choked him enough.
It's a shame that Ah Yu has a lot of mouths, and when it comes to "knowing poetry and books", Zhao Yan remembered that Li Zaoxin was here, and it was obvious that the little girl was familiar with some literature and ink.
Zhao Yan said: "There is a show girl who is familiar with poetry and books, there is really one, and her appearance is okay, but she is just a show girl of the Han military flag." ” Ah Yu listened, and said with a smile: "What does it matter to the Han Army Banner, the fourth elder brother wants to take a concubine, not to pick a concubine."
Zhao Yan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't ask you" Ah Yu was scolded by the old lady, couldn't help shrinking his neck, lowered his head, he kicked the back heel of the fourth elder brother with his toes, and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you squeak, can you do it?"
Zhao Yan hurriedly smiled and said to the fourth elder brother: "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry first. ” Zhao Yan sighed "hmm" and continued: "That's it, plus this Han Army Flag Show Girl, I will ask someone to select a few quiet and well-behaved Manchu Show Girls, and then call you over to choose." ” The fourth elder brother hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome" "No trouble, no trouble" Ah Yu hurriedly smiled and grinned, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, where will you know if it fits your eyes" Zhao Yan nodded, this little rabbit cub is right.
However, Ah Yu has just turned ten years old, and compared to him, the fourth elder brother is like an old antique.
Alas, he is obviously a young man, if he is not so dull, perhaps, the fourth elder brother should really have red sleeves by his side to relieve his boredom.
The fourth elder brother's eyes were foggy, and he shook twice, before he said, "I'm tired of the imperial concubine." ” Zhao Yan smiled and agreed.
Choosing a concubine for the fourth elder brother, although Concubine De was not careful, Zhao Yan could not exclude Concubine De, the biological mother, so three days later, Concubine De was specially invited to Zhongcui Palace to help each other look at each other.
In the past few days, Zhao Yan instructed the teaching and training grandmothers of the Yanqing Pavilion, and selected a few show girls from the Manchu Army Banner and the Han Army Banner who were not high, but had good looks and good temperament, plus Li Zaoxun, the niece of her cousin Shufei's maiden cousin, a total of eight show girls.
Concubine De came early, she looked at these show girls, all of them were accompanied by green cards on their clothes, and the cards said which flag they belonged to, what their father's official position was and their surname, among which there were many Manchurian surnames, although their father's official position was not high.
But Concubine De couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Concubine De said with a smile: "It's just that the fourth elder brother chose a trial marriage, and he was so bothered by the imperial concubine, and the concubine really didn't want to go." ” In fact, Concubine De is not picky, and when she speaks, she is quite pleasant to the ear, and her face is not hateful.
Zhao Yan smiled slightly: "It was the emperor who asked the palace to pay attention to the selection of concubines for the fourth elder brother, how could the palace not be careful?"
Hearing this, Concubine De's eyes flickered, and she seemed to have a newcomer's understanding of how much her eldest son was loved by Kangxi.
Concubine De lowered her eyes and said: "The emperor's fatherly heart, such a trivial matter is also so thoughtful. ” Kangxi is not here, what are you praising him for Zhao Yan is a little speechless. chatted casually with Concubine De, and then reported that the fourth elder brother was here.
The prince and elder brother had to go to the study room every day to study, so the time could only be chosen after three o'clock in the afternoon.
Therefore, the fourth elder brother came over with Zhao Yan's Ah Yu and Ah Yu.
Zhao Yan was afraid that her son would jump up and down in front of outsiders and make jokes, so as soon as Ah Yu asked for peace, he said, "You two go to the apse to take care of it." ” "Eniang" Ah Yu glanced at the show girls standing on both sides, all with tender faces and foreheads, obviously reluctant to leave.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yan grimaced and said lightly.
"Yes."
Seeing that his mother's face was not good, Ah Yu had to stop talking, he squinted and glanced at his fourth brother playfully, and then took his younger brother Ah Yu to retreat together.
Concubine De smiled warmly, and said to the fourth elder brother: "It's hard for the imperial concubine to be so hearted, look at these show girls, there is a consensus" The fourth elder brother glanced at the show girls on the side with the corner of his eye, these show girls are not from high families, and they have to raise their hearts.
With their family background, it is already a fluke to be able to pass the palace election, if they can't be selected by the fourth elder brother this time, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten they will go home with a sign, can they not be nervous And the fourth elder brother's appearance is also quite a delicate young man, between his eyebrows and eyes, there is a bit of nobility in his calmness, and he has such a noble status, how can he not make these little girls feel like spring None of these show girls selected by Yanqing Hall to teach Mama Xi are ugly, at least they have good facial features, especially the show girls in the Han Army Banner, who are even more beautiful and outstanding.
Li Zaojing is not the most beautiful among them, but it has a bookish atmosphere, and her bearing is difficult to hide.
Zhao Yan smiled and asked the eunuch to bring the two sachets with auspicious cloud ruyi patterns to the fourth elder brother, and said, "There are two ruyi sachets here, and the fourth elder brother decides who to give them to."
"Whoever gets the sachet will be the concubine of the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother reached out and picked up the sachet and paused slightly: "The one that the imperial concubine said earlier" "Oh" It seems that the fourth elder brother is very interested in the show girl who knows poetry and books mentioned before, and what Ah Yu said "red sleeves add fragrance", it seems that he actually hit the heart of the fourth elder brother Zhao Yan smiled, and said to the show girls, "Li come here." ” Then, two of the eight show girls actually stood up t1706231537:
