Chapter 182.2
At that moment, a light laughter came from the sky.
Lin Beifan looked up and called out, Bai Zhu, stop laughing. Wang Xiangjun is with me tonight, youll accompany me tomorrow night!
Bai Zhu couldnt laugh anymore.
At this time, the Great Yue Emperor returned home with a face full of joy.
His wife came to greet him, smiling, Master, what happy event has made you smile so brightly? Did you finally win against those dukes?
Ever since arriving in Great Xia, her husband often gambled with several dukes outside.
He only smiled so brightly when he won.
Beating those bastards is nothing! Theres something even better thats happened, haha!
The Great Yue Emperor laughed heartily, then suddenly smelled the aroma of food and asked, That smells delicious, is dinner ready?
Yes, master, dinner is ready!
Lets go, lets talk over dinner!
The Yue Kingdom Emperor sat at the head of the table, and after a few bites, he coughed and said, Today at court, after the persuasion of the officials, His Majesty has decided to hold a selection for consorts. Our good fortune is coming!
Everyone exchanged glances, and his wife asked, What does His Majesty taking consorts have to do with us?Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Its a big deal!
The Great Yue Emperor said animatedly, His Majesty will surely choose from among the young, beautiful, and well-educated unmarried women! Now, who in our family fits the bill the best?
Involuntarily, everyones gaze shifted towards the back of the table.
There was a woman there, dressed in yellow robes, with delicate and gentle features and a classic oval face, and she carried herself with utmost grace, exuding the air of a lady from a distinguished family.
Her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and said, Why do you all look at your daughter like that?
In our family, you are the one who best fits the criteria!
Great Yue Emperor said with a smile, You are just 20 years old and still unmarried, and you are as beautiful as a flower! Moreover, you have been well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, knowledgeable and reasonable, with a dignified character and elegant demeanor. Once His Majesty sees you, he will definitely not be able to take his eyes off you!
(TLN: Four Books and Five Classics are foundational texts of Confucianism, which have historically been the core of the Chinese educational curriculum for centuries.)
The master is right; our daughter has been raised like a princess since she was little! the old lady laughed.
Haha
Great Yue Emperor and his wife exchanged glances.
They chuckled to themselves, sensing that there was hope!
Great Yue Emperor said attentively, My daughter, you have a great chance of being chosen! I have already inquired, and most of the court officials are young, with hardly any children, so they cant compete with us!
There are only a few daughters of dukes who are somewhat competitive! However, compared to my daughter, they still fall short! So, my daughter, get ready to enter the palace as a consort!
After you enter the palace, our familys life will also improve!
The woman in yellow did not wait to hear the end; she ran back to her room, bashful.
Meanwhile, the court officials and the other dukes were all busy with the matter of selecting a consort for His Majesty.
If the woman they recommended caught His Majestys eye, they too would rise to great heights!
However, there arent many women who meet the criteria.
They must be beautiful, literate, and possess an extraordinary temperament
Almost all women from the common folk are ruled out!
Because in the common folk, a phoenix simply cannot be raised.
Consort Xiang is the only exception.
But her foundation was already strong, and it was only after two years in the palace that she transformed!
Ordinary women simply dont stand a chance.
Only the daughters of a few dukes are competitive. Its simply because they have been raised like princesses from a young age.
How many women can enjoy such treatment?
