Chapter 915
"You are so light!" the queen shook her head and said, "According to the convention of the previous dynasty, each family with a family race with a title of Duke or above has an internal quota! No matter what Your Majesty's attitude, women of these family races have a chance to enter the palace! If Your Majesty doesn't like them, he can only ask those family races to change their candidates, but he cannot cancel those internal quota!"
"And, from the view that the nobles and nobles are in good faith, women from some families must also be chosen! For example, Marshal Gulons's niece, the two sisters of Yuhuang Xingyan's family, and other women from high-quality officials' families..."
As she said that, she picked up a list from the desk, opened it and looked at it, "No matter what, after this talent show, there will always be a group of people coming in! Those families with no designated quota will depend on whether their women can be attracted by His Majesty!"
Xiao Wenyue said thoughtfully: "We should have a designated quota for our family, right?"
"Of course, my grandmother is also the Duke of the Empire!" the queen smiled, "I mentioned it to you that time. At the moment, you should make up your mind, right? If there is no objection, then I will add your name!"
Xiao Wenyue's face darkened: "No talk! Who said I want to marry him?"
"You... don't want to?" The queen's expression couldn't help but stagnate, "How many women have dreamed of being able to marry into the royal family? Didn't expect that they wouldn't agree?"
"I just don't like him!" Xiao Wenyue snorted. .
Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Even if the Majesty I am waiting for is not an unparalleled person in the world, but being able to achieve such a great foundation in just a few years is not an achievement that anyone can achieve. You didn't expect that you would still look down on me? Then what kind of man do you think you will be satisfied with it?"
"I just don't have the interest to share him with a group of women!" Xiao Wenyue announced proudly, "My future man can only belong to me. He must dare to find another woman. No matter how outstanding he is, I will cut him down!"
The queen was stunned for a long time before saying, "Sister, you may not know it yet! Grandma has already told me about this in private. This is what she meant, and my father has no objection. Therefore, besides marrying into the royal family, you may not have any other choices!"
"What? They didn't expect..." Xiao Wenyue's pretty face turned pale with anger, "Does our family have no women? Why did they come to me? What a bastard!"
"Let me reveal it for now!" Chen Yan sighed softly, "The decision of the head of the family cannot be changed. It is already very wrong for you to be able to marry such a man! Besides, with the sister here, no one in the palace dares to let you suffer a grievance!"
Xiao Wenyue said angrily: "Okay! I can't change their decision, there will always be someone who can change it! I'll tell His Majesty myself!"
As she said that, her figure flashed and there was no trace.
"This...hey?" Chen Yan had probably stopped her, then changed her mind and sighed slowly, hoping that her sister would be more tactful and not really annoy His Majesty.
Half an hour later, His Majesty the Emperor finally arrived, and in an instant, the focus of the audience's eyes gathered at his position.
"Your Majesty is almost here!" Chen Yanying stood up, chuckled and greeted.
Ye Qingyuan nodded slightly, glanced at the situation in the hall, and asked casually: "Are these girls to be chosen?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, after many rounds of selection, we have selected 581 women with excellent character, appearance and talent, and you can easily choose."
"No problem, I understand!" Ye Qingyuan responded calmly.
After the emperor and the empress sat back, the beautiful girl in the hall immediately stepped forward to salute again.
From a distance, this group of women are indeed unparalleled beauties. If you pick them up, your appearance, temperament, demeanor and behavior are impeccable. They wear pure white and snow-like classical lady dresses, without makeup, and only show off their faces without makeup. They are graceful and graceful, fat and thin, and their temperaments are either elegant and bright, gentle and gentle, or as bright as peaches or plums, or mysterious and noble, with all kinds of different styles!
Hundreds of the most outstanding beauties in the empire came together, and the strong visual impact effect, even he was used to the stunning beauty, had a shocking feeling!
No matter how many other thoughts he had, he had to admit that his current self was already filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!
Every normal man has a dream in his heart. Of course, there are very few who have the ability and fortune to turn it into reality!
Power, wealth, women, and some other reasons are estimated. Isn’t this what people pursue in life? Although it seems utilitarian and vulgar, it is human nature!
There are hundreds of such excellent women standing in front of him, hoping to be attracted by him. It would be a terrible thing to say that he is not moved! In the final analysis, he is just a man!
"Your Majesty!" Chen Yan saw that he was just a little loud, coughed gently, reminded:
"You can go down and have a look, get in close contact with them, and talk to them by the way. If you like someone, give her a piece of jade token and leave the rest to me!"
As she said that, she took a golden box, which was piled up with a box full of exquisite craftsmanship, about half a palm-sized round jade plaque.
"Your Majesty, I will help you with it!" Shuangyan, who was beside her, hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
"Okay!" Ye Qingyuan also knew that it was a bit inappropriate for him to sit like this, so he stood up and walked off Yuxing.
When the women saw him coming, their beautiful eyes showed expectant eyes, as if they were thinking that they were about to lean over to say hello, but they were a little afraid and hesitant to make a move.
Song Yishan sat quietly in the corner of the hall, with her head hanging down, staring at the exquisite embroidered patterns on the brocade handkerchief in her hand without saying a word.
This is not the first time she has come here. In the past, as the daughter of the head of the Song family, she was like women from other major families at the court dance, and was one of the focus of many children of the superiors present!
However, in the past few years, the situation in the empire has changed. The father was captured by the current Emperor because of the failure of the military adventures of the eight major families. For the sake of their own selfishness, the genius genius of the family who ate people and did not vomit bones immediately abandoned her father, and wanted to exile all the races of her lineage and confiscate all the property! If it weren't for the help of the current emperor, she would have become the female slave of the fool Song Yushu!
She was completely disappointed about the family race! Later, the imperial capital changed its course, and the group of venerables from the Song family were ordered to destroy the race by the emperor, which made her feel anger in her heart!
However, although the race of my father's lineage was preserved, he could no longer have the power and wealth that was as prominent as before! Not to mention the only three remaining families, even the more inferior Marquis and Earls' races are not as good as those of the marquis and counts!
Although his Majesty later used his father for various reasons and appointed him as the governor of the Zhiyuan Universe Region, and after he successfully sent a mission to the Yuan Xuanluo Federation and persuaded the five major chaebols to surrender to the empire, he was named Earl. However, it was still far less than one thousandth of the status of the previous family race at its heyday!
However, my father has not yet revealed it, and he still dreams that one day he will be able to revive his family race. Not to mention the glory and power of the family race in the past, he will at least return to the ranks of the first-class wealthy families in the empire!
So, what can I do for my family and for my father? She stared at the young and tall figure in the distance, and her eyes gradually became firm.
Ye Qingyuan held a wine glass in his hand, lazily leaning against the flowered crystal railing at the edge of the hall, drinking leisurely.
In the dark dark night sky in the blue sky, a grand and brilliant sea of stars quietly hangs above the vast sky! The sky is filled with stars, reflecting the magnificent magnificent photon development in the crystal hall, making the whole hall look beautiful, like a beautiful scenery in the heavenly palace!
From time to time, women came over, tentatively chatted with him and toasted him. He just drank the wine and accepted it calmly. However, the resentful look of their eyes were ignored selectively!
So far, no woman has been able to obtain jade tokens in the golden box.
"Sure enough... Then I know that's how it is!" Chen Yan stared at all this far away, and she could not help but clenched the corners of her eyes.
"Your Majesty Queen, what should I do now?" asked the female official in purple with a frown.
If this continues, if the cocktail party is over and His Majesty has not chosen any of them, it would be too ugly to leave for a while, and it would make the entire upper class of the empire feel dull!
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "It's better to be so good. Whoever has ever given His Majesty a drink and he has not refused. Then he will write down the woman's name and go back to the palace to discuss with His Majesty."
"No problem!" The female official nodded slightly and immediately started to make arrangements.
Here, Ye Qingyuan drank several cups continuously and couldn't figure out how many cups, and his mind felt a little fumigated.
"Your Majesty, you came here today, just to drink, right?"
As a lazy and charming voice sounded in my ears, a pretty and delicate woman walked over slowly.
Ye Qingyuan drank the mellow wine presented by a blond and dignified beautiful girl in front of him in one sip, and then said, "What do you think I need to do?"
Xia Qiying stopped in front of his eyes, staring at him with beautiful eyes with distinct black and white eyes and said, "The Sword Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and His Majesty's airs seem to be getting bigger and bigger! Could it be that none of the many sisters present can catch your eye?"
The girls around were shocked and subconsciously stayed away from her. They did not expect that the woman who came here not long ago would be so straightforward.
Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but just smiled faintly: "Do you think the position of this imperial concubine is more attractive than the position of the imperial duke?"
Xia Qiying had not answered yet, and another beautiful and pleasant voice came from the sound of a jade plate: "It depends on why the person involved is judging. From some perspectives, it is probably a little better than the duke!"
Ye Qingyuan sighed softly: "Yekaterina, does even you have the same view?"
The slightly loose long skirt could not cover up the extremely hot and seductive figure on the other side. The perfect facial features were as lively and vivid as the sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess, and the delicate skin was as white as snow! Perhaps because of the fact that I had just drunk wine, the beauty had a tempting red glow on her face, and her bright and sapphire-like eyes were staring at him with a smile.
She did not answer his question, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you confident?"
Ye Qingyuan couldn't help but be stunned and said something wrong: "Why are you asking such a question?"
"Because people have found that your performance in certain aspects is not like a confident king," she said seriously. "It's like today you don't have the courage to choose the woman you like, but instead adopt a negative and avoidant attitude!"
"Don't have the courage? So do you think?" Ye Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and said without regard.
Xia Qiying smiled and said, "It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, but it should be a different idea. Your Majesty, you didn't seem to have to take on the responsibility you should bear!"
Ye Qingyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "You both should know my coming, and you also know that the rules of the game in the upper class are not recognized by me at present!"
Ekaterina said: "With that being said, the place determines thinking. Since you have already taken this position, you cannot be too willful in everything! As an emperor, while having supreme power and glory, he also bears corresponding responsibilities and obligations, and this should not be shirked away!"
"It sounds a bit reasonable, but such an approach is a bit of a problem for those women..." Ye Qingyuan pondered.
"Your Majesty, existence is reasonable!" said Catherine. "Although this kind of political marriage has many problems, it can last for thousands of years and always has the necessity of its existence!"
"Even if you don't accept it, their future outcome will not change at all. They will still be used by the family race as a bargaining chip for exchange of interests! If your fortune is fine, you can find a decent man; if you have more fortune, you may have to be matched with an old man and live a miserable life!"
Ye Qingyuan hesitated and said, "It's almost because they entered the palace, and this life... may not be better than outside!"
Xia Qiying smiled and said, "Whether we have a good life? It depends on your attitude? I guess you shouldn't treat me too badly, right?"
"...Okay! I seem to feel that I am about to be convinced by you!" Ye Qingyuan gently clenched the corners of his eyes, no longer debating with them this question alone.
At this moment, another tall and beautiful green-haired girl with a hot and bright appearance walked over with a wine glass.
"Your Majesty, I am Sophia Lina Augustine," she said her name and family background in a light and pleasant voice, and her bright big eyes were staring at him deeply, "Duke Parmier Augustine is your grandfather, right?" Ye Qingyuan vaguely remembered Chen Yan mentioned it to him before, but her impression was a little bit slim. (To be continued...)
