After rebirth, she took off with her cubs in space
Chapter 184: A Banquet in Advance
Mo Xiaojin said directly: "I think first of all, family background is not important. Although I don't judge people by appearance, the appearance must be good. At least she has to be as beautiful as my aunt."
The emperor laughed and said, "You kid."
The prince only glanced at the emperor and blushed a little. He showed a childish look. The emperor continued, "The so-called TV background is not important. That is when the two people are already familiar with each other. In the case of mutual affection, I don't know the other person now, so naturally I have to take a look. After all, the country is too vast. Without a standard, it would be a waste of money and manpower. It is better to limit the number of beauties from each place to five. Generally speaking, those who can be sent to the capital should not be too bad in family background and appearance."
Rou Niang nodded quickly: "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor continued, "My requirements are not high. You only need to have one skill in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, tea, martial arts, etc. If you don't have any of these, gentleness, virtue, etiquette, and moral education can all be considered. You, Rou Niang, will decide for yourself!"
Liu Rongniang nodded: "That's true. After all, the purpose of selecting concubines in the harem is to continue the royal lineage. The others are just icing on the cake."
Finally, they decided on the selection process. First, the girls were selected for the general election. After the general election, Rou Niang would evaluate and assess the girls based on their individual strengths. The best choice would be left. Then the emperor and the prince would jointly select the best. Of course, the prince was forced to go there by the emperor. He was still young and didn't know much.
But the emperor thought that he would only take concubines into his harem this time. If there were no special circumstances in the future, he would not select concubines like this again. This time he wanted to fill his harem. He hoped that the concubines he found could take good care of the prince. After all, the palace was too deserted. He felt that his prince was becoming more and more lonely and lacked maternal love since he was a child, so he wanted to make up for it in all aspects.
Of course, in his heart, his queen died for the prince. No one could compare to her. He would never have another queen in his life, and there would only be one prince.
Of course, he would not say this. First of all, he felt that a man should not express such nagging emotions. Secondly, he wanted to give the prince a sense of crisis to make him more motivated. In addition, he had to please the emperor. After all, he was going to take over the throne from him. Otherwise, he acted like he was worth two and a half million every day, but he didn't take himself seriously. It was really annoying.
As soon as the imperial selection list was announced, there was a wave of excitement across the country, and naturally there was a lot of traffic in front of the general's mansion.
The smart ones would all pretend to be good friends, or hold poetry gatherings or flower viewing parties, hoping that the general's wife would be honored to attend. This way they could take the opportunity to bring their daughters who wanted to be selected in the selection and show their faces in front of the princess. As long as they could make a good impression on her, they would have an advantage in the selection.
The less clever ones simply stated their intentions and gave gifts directly, which made Rong Niang very embarrassed.
But after thinking about it, it was a selection for the emperor, so he couldn't do it. He couldn't show up directly, and hiding in the general's mansion was even worse. He would offend people after all if he refused directly. He was not afraid, not because he was afraid of offending any high-ranking officials or nobles, but mainly because he was afraid of hurting the face of the unmarried lady. It was not easy for women to survive, so she hoped that everyone would be happy in this selection.
Whether she was chosen or not, it was good to treat it as an experience in life. So she thought about it and decided to hold a banquet first, so that new brides would bring their daughters, and he could also see if there were any suitable women at the banquet in advance. So everyone knew that the flower-viewing banquet was a little special. Rou Niang said that this banquet was also to express gratitude to her mother for her mother's hard work. She thought that her three princesses were also quite talented, and she wanted the parents to show off some of them. If each family had talented young ladies, they could also express their feelings.
The ladies could see clearly that this flower-viewing banquet was called flower-viewing, but in reality it was a disguised way to meet some loyal, wealthy and beautiful women.
Mrs. Zhou was very happy when she heard about the banquet. She hurriedly took the route of Zhou Shi City, wanting to take advantage of all opportunities. Zhou Shi naturally refused and said to her mother: "If the daughter recommended by the Zhou family is excellent, there is no need to worry about not being selected. If not, why bother Rou Niang!"
Mrs. Zhou blamed her daughter for not considering the family, and the mother and daughter were unhappy.
The Zheng family was also eager to make a move, and Madam Zheng went to see Old Lady Liu. Old Lady Liu also politely refused. She also encouraged: "Ms. Zheng is multi-talented, and she will definitely be popular if she shows off. If I just say it, it seems as if our girl has no ability."
Mrs. Zheng thought this made sense. She thought that if her daughter really encountered any difficulties, she should ask Old Lady Liu for help. She thought that she should use the knife where it matters most. It would be a waste to use it now.
So he agreed with Old Lady Liu's opinion and decided to attend Rou Niang's flower viewing banquet and show off his skills at the banquet. That would be great if he could amaze everyone.
On the day of Rou Niang's banquet, there were many guests, most of whom were ladies with their marriageable-age girls.
Naturally, the three princesses went on stage first to show off, which also avoided the bad reputation of the girls' families.
Yurong plays the piano, Yujin plays the flute, and Yuyan dances with the sword, complementing each other.
The ladies clapped their hands. After the three finished their performance, they bowed and left the stage.
"Which girl is willing to display her talent and express her gratitude to her mother? Please go on stage now." Mingyue is now inviting on the stage.
"Then I will throw out some ideas, please don't laugh at me." Liu Ping, a member of the Liu family, stepped forward and said,
Rouniang looked carefully, this belongs to the Liu family.
Liu Ping'er has a decent appearance, but her facial features are regular, not outstanding. In the capital city where there are many beauties, she is pretty. Her talent is long-sleeved dance, which is gentle but strong, and quite beautiful.
When it was over she bowed and everyone applauded and praised her politely. To be honest, it wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't terrible either, just mediocre.
However, with Liu Ping'er's mediocre opening, everyone no longer felt the pressure and took the stage one after another, each with their own merits.
Then Madam Zheng instigated her daughter Zheng Wanru to go on stage. Zheng Wanru was well prepared. Seeing the daughters of wealthy families going on stage one after another, she became anxious. She quickly found an opportunity when the previous person was leaving the stage and went on stage.
"Zheng Wanru from the Zheng family is sorry to have embarrassed herself." Zheng Wanru said with a smile. If she were to go by the hierarchy of relatives, she would still be Rou Niang's cousin. Of course, she naturally didn't dare to acknowledge her at this moment.
Seeing that she was the niece of Old Lady Liu, Rou Niang naturally took it more seriously.
Mrs. Zheng was secretly delighted when she saw Rouniang's serious attitude.
Zheng Wanru performed very steadily, had solid dancing skills, and was also sweet-looking, the kind that is naturally likable. She had two dimples when she smiled, which was very adorable.
The first time Rou Niang met Zheng Wanru was at Liu Mansion. Her first impression was that she was sweet and lovely, and she had a very good impression.
