Section 1593 Willing to marry!
As soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, Zhao Yingluo suddenly raised her head, her expression showing a hint of relief but also a hint of disbelief.
She was relieved because Shen Yue was willing to let her go, but she didn't believe it was because in these years, she had never been so straightforward when being rejected.
People in the world have a strange mentality: I can pick my own nose, but you can't pick mine.
To put it in terminology, this is called self-esteem.
Because of this kind of self-esteem, many men and women in relationships in the world want to be the one who initiates the breakup.
Of course, personality deviations caused by the impact of property division are not part of this theory.
Zhao Ji has many children, but it is said that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of whom is different. Zhao Ji's many daughters are naturally also very different.
Zhao Yingluo can be said to be the most beautiful daughter of Zhao Ji since the emperor's concubine Zhao Fujin.
This is a world where faces are judged.
Because of her beauty, some people love and tolerate her. Zhao Yingluo has grown up in this atmosphere since she was a child. All she sees are men who praise her. Even if those men do not praise her, she can still read the admiration in the eyes of the men. Meaning.
Shen Yue refused completely!
Zhao Yingluo finally looked into Shen Yue's eyes. She didn't want to marry Shen Yue, but she didn't feel that Shen Yue was truly rejecting her.
Shen Yue looked at Zhao Yingluo quietly for a moment, and then looked away.
Zhao Yingluo was a little surprised. She didn't see any admiration or reluctance. All she saw was calm as water, without any disturbance.
Empress Zheng frowned. She saw Shen Yue's determination and couldn't force Zhao Yingluo onto Shen Yue. She sighed softly, "It seems that Mr. Shen and Yingluo are destined to be together."
But she also wanted to complete the task given by her husband, so she changed the target and said, "Huanhuan, come out."
A girl bowed her head and walked out. She remained silent. It must have been the Queen's anger that made her dare not say anything.
"Huanhuan was named Roufu Emperor Ji, and she shares the same mother with Yingluo."
Empress Zheng muttered, "Young Master Shen, you can take a good look."
It was an accident that Zhao Ji became emperor. Zhao Ji was not the best candidate for emperor at that time, but Empress Dowager Xiang tried her best to ensure that Zhao Ji ascended the throne. This made Zhao Ji always grateful to the Xiang family.
Empress Zheng was also a subordinate of Empress Dowager Xiang, thinking of her old relationship, so she married her daughter Zhao Huer to a descendant of the Xiang family. She also did not stop Xiang Zikun from marrying Zhao Yingluo.
But now the matter is urgent, and in her mind, Zhao Yingluo is the first choice among the emperors regardless of her birth status, talent and appearance. Even if she offends the Xiang family, she can only find a way to make up for it in the future, but she cannot delay Zhao Ji's business.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she introduced Zhao Yingluo first, which also represented Empress Zheng's sincerity.
She didn't want Zhao Huer to mess up the situation without knowing the importance of it, and Zhao Yingluo refused brightly and quietly. Although Empress Zheng blamed her daughter for not knowing the general situation, Zhao Yingluo's lack of vision could not force the connection after all. Zhao Yingluo failed, and although Zhao Huanhuan was slightly inferior, But after all, she has the same status as Zhao Yingluo, so she became the secondary option prepared by Empress Zheng for Shen Yue.
Shen Yue sighed and finally understood that the emperor also had troubles in choosing his concubine.
Sometimes, what looked like a multiple-choice question in front of him was actually a mandatory question. His two statements could not stop Empress Zheng from pulling the strings. He had known that Empress Zheng could not make the decision.
If that's the case, what's the point of him saying more?
Seeing that Shen Yue was silent, Queen Zheng said again, "Yuanzhu, come out."
The woman who came out looked pretty.
Empress Zheng immediately introduced, "Yuanzhu was named Yifu Emperor Ji. She has been well-educated and dignified since she was a child."
There is no comparison between Zhao Yuanzhu's appearance and Zhao Yingluo's sisters. Empress Zheng could only use her discerning eye to recognize people and try her best to introduce Yuanzhu's potential advantages. "Her mother was once canonized as Zhaorong. She also died young and her status was acceptable ."
Zhao Yuanzhu actually looked at Shen Yue, smiled slightly, and saluted.
Sai Yue stayed by Shen Yue's side and refused to leave. Seeing Zhao Yingluo's sister's attitude towards Shen Yue, she looked very happy. It was obvious that Sai Yue could not help but pout when Zhao Yuanzhu showed her kindness to Shen Yue.
Empress Zheng was slightly satisfied with Zhao Yuanzhu's performance, and thought to herself, I will teach you how to be knowledgeable and courteous, but if you don't want to do this, what's the use of learning etiquette?
But she also knew that "there was a time when the sea was like water, except for Wushan, it was like clouds." With Zhao Yingluo in front of her, this Zhao Yuanzhu might not be able to fall into Shen Yue's eyes.
They say it depends on the beauty of the soul, but if you don’t look good, it’s difficult to discuss the beauty of the soul.
This is similar to the titles in some areas. Only those who are handsome are qualified to be called uncle, and those who are wretched are called idiots.
Empress Zheng herself felt that although Zhao Yuanzhu was the emperor's concubine, she still lacked the ability to match Shen Yue.
Zhao Ji had such a prudent decree. If she, as a wife, asked Zhao Yuanzhu to make up for it, the gains would outweigh the losses. It would be better not to do it. When she thought of this, Empress Zheng said, "Qiao Yun came out."
A young girl quietly stepped out of the queue, her eyes leveled, and she seemed to turn her eyes to look at Shen Yue. There was no indifference, but there was no eagerness either.
That girl may not be as gorgeous as Zhao Huer or as beautiful as Zhao Yingluo, but she does have a sense of elegance and excellence.
Saiyue's little face suddenly looked nervous.
Empress Zheng looked at the girl and said slowly, "Qiaoyun was named the Emperor Xianfu. Although she is not my biological child, she is the daughter I admire most."
Zhao Huer felt slightly unhappy when he heard this.
Empress Zheng immediately said, "But... Qiao Yun's mother, Mrs. Qiao, is just a talented person."
Seeing that Shen Yue had no reaction, Empress Zheng said slowly, "There are many concubines in the palace, divided into six grades. The imperial concubine is the first grade, Zhaorong is the second grade, and the talented people are only the fifth grade."
Shen Yue understood Queen Zheng's intention.
Empress Zheng had considered everything carefully. Based on Empress Zheng's understanding, she certainly did not have the concept of free marriage in her mind.
Even in the private sector, people must be well-matched. Naturally, the hierarchy in the palace is strict and a match must be made.
Zhao Ji's daughters are all imperial concubines, but the emperor's concubines are also divided into three, six or nine grades. The mother's status also means the emperor's concubine's status in the palace.
As the head of the Sixth Palace, Empress Zheng had all her daughters married, and she was the one who helped connect Shen Yue. She wanted to show her grandeur, so she naturally preferred the daughter of a first-class concubine. This was also the reason why Sister Zhao Yingluo was the first to appear.
Although Zhao Qiaoyun is the emperor's concubine, her mother is just a talented person. It can be seen that Qiao Cairen is not liked by Zhao Ji. Zhao Qiaoyun, the blessed emperor's concubine, naturally has a low status in the palace.
Empress Zheng recommended candidates to Shen Yue based on her status as an imperial concubine. She recruited Qiao Yun at this moment, not deliberately, but in accordance with the rules of the palace.
Breathing lightly, Empress Zheng said slowly, "Mr. Shen, in a hurry, I only recruited these concubines who are suitable to marry the emperor. Naturally, there are also some emperor concubines, but they are still young."
Looking at the concubines who were standing in line, Empress Zheng said solemnly, "What do you think of Mr. Shen?"
She said with a dry mouth, thinking that each of you looked like a bereaved person, even a blind person could see your reluctance. How could Shen Yue be so happy if he was so smart?
If Shen Yue is not happy, His Majesty will not be happy. If it is difficult for me, will it be easy for you?
Don’t you understand such a simple truth? Why do you want me to say more?
