"Your Majesty has flipped the card, and the records of the service room are in order!”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had finally finished flipping the cards, the old eunuch was finally relieved. He hurriedly ordered everyone to put away the other cards and the album, and also put the chosen beauty into the album.
According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, the first beauty to sleep with the emperor during his coming-of-age ceremony would at least get the title of concubine. If she was lucky enough to be pregnant with a son or daughter, the position of empress was almost in the bag.
Because of this, the competition for the candidate to be the bedmate for each coming-of-age ceremony was extremely intense. Even Liu Xi, who had Cao Zhengchun's endorsement, did not dare to make his own decisions.
Originally, the old eunuch was also thinking of profiting from this, but Zhu Houzhao's glance just now almost scared his three souls and seven spirits away.
The little emperor who had been by his side for five years and had been idling around all day gave him a pressure that was even higher than the former emperor Hongzhi, who was known as the benevolent emperor!
"In the fifth year of Zhengde, the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao completed his rites of passage and chose his consort Wu Zhao to serve him.”
Taking the opportunity of recording the Emperor's words and deeds, the old eunuch secretly sized up Zhu Houzhao again. He still had that familiar cynical look.
But this time, the old eunuch did not dare to underestimate the little Emperor. Instead, he respectfully bowed and retreated.
No one who could get to their current position in the Imperial Palace was a fool. They naturally understood what gifts could be accepted and what words should not be said.
......
Chuxiu Palace
Six beautiful women dressed up beautifully stood in six positions in the palace.
The carefully tailored phoenix coronet and cape perfectly complemented the graceful figures and outstanding temperament of the six beauties. They were truly devastatingly beautiful.
Behind each beauty, there were several beautiful palace maids. They were also dressed in red, but their grades were slightly inferior.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.
The hearts of the six beauties and the palace maids subconsciously tensed up.
"His Majesty has decreed that the beautiful daughter Wu Zhao be chosen to serve him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace servants immediately covered Wu Zhao and the maids with red veils and crowded in the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The rest of the women were in an uproar.
"How is this possible? Wu Zhao was chosen?”
"In terms of national strength, even though the Great Tang isn't bad, it's still far inferior to Great Qin.
In terms of looks, everyone here was not inferior to her.
In terms of cultivation, Ben Dongjun was far ahead, so how could he not be chosen?”
Lady Yan stood up, her face full of disbelief.
"Great Qin is the strongest, have you asked Dayuan?”
"If it wasn't for the fact that we focused on the western expedition a few years ago, our Dayuan would have broken through the Great Wall of Great Qin long ago!”
Princess Zhao Min of the Dayuan Empire did not back down.
"If you have the ability, why don't you come?”
"I don't know who it was, but a few years ago, Meng Tian defeated him three times in a row. He was beaten so badly that he only dared to bully those small countries in the Western Regions!”
Lady Yan sneered, and her powerful aura enveloped Zhao Min.
"We're all disappointed people. If you have the mood to mock us, why don't you think about how Wu Zhao will return to report if he gets Great Qin's Fate?”
A charming smile appeared on the Heavenly Enchantress's beautiful face as she quietly helped Zhao Min, who had an unsightly expression, to relieve some of the pressure.
"Big sister Jiao is right. We sisters are all of the same mind. Why don't we work together for the time being?”
"After all, this is the Great Ming Imperial Palace and there are many masters guarding it. Even if you have extraordinary cultivation, it is impossible for you to charge into the Palace of Heavenly Purity alone.”
Zhang Chunhua's beautiful eyes darted around. She took a few steps forward and blocked the gazes that were staring at each other.
"There's only one Heirloom Seal. So what if we form an alliance at the last minute? Wouldn't we still be betraying each other?”
Just as everyone's gazes softened slightly, Huang Rong, who had been ignored all this while, suddenly spoke up and pointed out the key point.
"A mere Wu Zhao wants to overturn the heavens?”
"She's just a concubine!"
"The one who laughs in the end will definitely be me!”
Concubine Yan snorted and left Chuxiu Palace after Wu Zhao had left.
......
Palace of Heavenly Purity
"Your Majesty, the beautiful daughter Wu Zhao and the maid Wan 'er are here!”
The old eunuch bowed respectfully and ordered the palace servants to welcome Wu Zhao and the maidservant into the palace. Then, he closed the door quietly.
"Wan 'er, is your surname Shangguan?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled.
This Tang Emperor Li Shimin was really generous. He even bought one for free for a marriage alliance.
"I, Shangguan Wan 'er, pay my respects to Your Majesty!”
Hearing that she had been called out, Shangguan Wan 'er quickly took off her veil and bowed to Zhu Houzhao.
He said,
He was confident.
There was a trace of heroism in her gentleness!
"She's indeed a rare talent!”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile. Information about Shangguan Wan 'er appeared in his mind.
The aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty were born in the country. Their grandfather had once been an official to the prime minister. He was imprisoned and interrogated for his involvement in the dispute over the throne. The women in the family were also sent to the palace as slaves.
However, Shangguan Wan 'er was born from the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. Under the guidance of her mother, she quickly stood out. Not only did she become famous in the palace, but her cultivation had also reached the Connate Realm. She was chosen by Li Shiming as the dowry for Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. However, compared to a martial talent, Wan 'er's looks are nothing!”
Shangguan Wan 'er bowed to Zhu Houzhao again and gently helped Wu Zhao take off the red veil on his head.
A peerlessly beautiful face appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao.
Under the palace dress that combined the styles of the Great Ming and Great Tang, her proud posture was displayed!
Wu Mei's phoenix eyes contained a trace of determination and decisiveness, which made Wu Zhao look even more elegant.
"Wu Zhao, what a great guy!"
"What an empress!"
Zhu Houzhao praised.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. With a true dragon like Your Majesty around, Zhao 'er is just a grain of rice. The title of empress is just a joke!”
Surprise flashed across Wu Zhao's beautiful eyes as she bowed.
This silkpants little emperor of Great Ming seemed to be different from what was described in the intelligence!
However, at the next moment,
"It's hard to lie to yourself. Wu Zhao, you don't have to put on an act in front of me!”
"Moreover, for Zhen, it's not a bad thing for you to have the heart to rule the world. As long as you're willing to cooperate, what's the harm in letting you attend court?”
Looking at Zhu Houzhao's half-smile, Wu Zhao was completely dumbfounded.
