Chapter 1227 (Updated on June 11) In My Eyes, Nothing Counts
In the past two days, this is the only one who can be so hand-picked by the Queen Mother.
And the meaning of her words is also very clear, this is her natal family, and I hope fourth master will leave a mark on her face.
As the queen mother, although she has the right to speak.
But the decision still rests with fourth master.
So, in the end, fourth master had to nod in agreement.
Anyway, under normal circumstances, if the queen mother opened her mouth, it would be almost inseparable.
After all, people here value filial piety.
It's not a big deal for a mother who wants to send her family to the harem.
If you disagree, you are disobeying your biological mother, you are not filial, and you look down on your mother's relatives.
In this way, it seemed that the fourth master, the emperor, was inhumane.
When he became emperor, even his mother clan was unwilling to give him a hand.
At this moment, everyone present here focused their eyes and attention on fourth master, who was the emperor.
Even Ruoyin was no exception. She turned her head slightly and looked at fourth master.
"I feel that this beautiful girl has not met my expectations." A voice without any emotion came out of Fourth Master's cold lips.
And after he finished speaking, he directly threw a flower into the eunuch's tray, which was to give flowers as a sign.
Words and deeds are non-negotiable.
The next moment, Ruoyin saw the queen mother's face collapse.
There was also some displeasure in the voice: "Emperor, the Ai family feels the need to explain to you that this beautiful girl is from the Wu Ya family, and she is the younger sister of Zhuang Guiren, and even the niece of the Ai family! "
"I know." Fourth master replied lightly.
Hearing his indifferent words, the Empress Dowager was furious.
She said in a deep voice: "Since you know, Aijia has greeted you beforehand, why did you put down her sign and what is your intention?"
"As I said, she doesn't come into my eyes in every way."
"Why didn't she catch your eye? In terms of status, she is the niece of the Ai family and the first daughter of the family. In terms of appearance, she is the most eye-catching among the twenty beautiful girls in this row. In terms of talent, she The dancing posture of Aijia is better than what Aijia has seen in these years. So, is she not worthy of being a woman in your harem?"
The queen mother is bound to protect the calf, and she will blow up the beauty of her natal family to the sky.
Since the Empress Dowager has said this, Fourth Master will definitely respond.
He held his lips and said seriously: "Emperor Niang, your status is indeed honorable in the harem, but just because she is your niece does not prove how good her status is."
"What do you mean by that?" said the Queen Mother.
"First of all, this woman was born as a slave in clothes in the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. The Empress should know that she is a slave in the palace, right?" Fourth Master said sternly and honestly.
As soon as these words came out, the queen mother was stunned for a while, but she couldn't say a word.
Ruoyin saw the empress dowager's dazed expression.
Fourth master is right, the draft girls are actually divided into two parts.
Some of them are women selected from the Eight Banners officials.
There are also some women from the Three Banners of the House of Internal Affairs.
Most of their elders worked as servants and managed affairs in the House of Internal Affairs, the Imperial Dining Room, and various places in the Forbidden City.
In this way, compared with those Eight Banners women, their status is already lower than that of those Eight Banners women.
Although they are all show girls, they enter the palace as slaves.
And the daughters of officials from the Eight Banners will become concubines when they enter the palace.
Moreover, Eight Banners women participate in the show women's election once every three years.
Coated Three Banners women are chosen once a year as the candidates for the palace maids every year.
Although in the past few years in the Qing Dynasty, many clad women became concubines through their beauty and means.
For example, Emperor Kangxi's concubine Liang was a slave of Xin Zhekuli.
Even the Empress Dowager herself was promoted from a court lady to her current position.
But the selection of concubines in the harem is mainly from among the women of the Eight Banners.
However, judging from her understanding of fourth master and his rationality in the past two days.
A calm and realistic man like him should not bring this kind of coated servant who should be a court lady into the harem.
Unless, for the sake of the queen mother, he reluctantly included her in the harem.
Just as Ruoyin was thinking about it, he heard Fourth Master continue to speak harshly: "Besides, we don't judge girls by their looks in the Qing Dynasty. We should regard family status and character as the primary selection criteria."
These words perfectly refuted the Queen Mother's so-called theory of appearance.
And once again made up the knife, using family status as the standard, and demoting this beautiful girl's status as a three-flag coat to nothing.
After hearing this, Su Peisheng couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with his Long Live Lord's words.
Choosing a woman must be of decent character.
It's just that things like character are not something that can be seen at a glance, let alone written on the face.
After all, there are too many people who say one thing to the face and another to the back.
Therefore, the one that ranks first in character is, of course, family status.
This is why most of the concubines in the harem come from famous families.
Especially the eight major surnames in Manchuria, which almost filled the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
"Of course the Ai family knows that the draft girl is not a beauty pageant, but...she is from the Wu Ya clan after all." Even though the Queen Mother was so angry that her face was livid, she still wanted to try to convince the fourth master.
So she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and maintain a normal state of mind.
How could she ask fourth master for this.
However, fourth master didn't seem to appreciate it, and his poisonous tongue didn't stop there.
"Just because the Queen's Lady came from the Wuya Clan's Three Banners, you can't elevate the status of the Three Banners. No matter what, the slaves are the slaves. This is an unchangeable fact."
After speaking, the fourth master paused for a moment, his eyes fell on the beautiful girl, and he said lightly: "Plus, in my opinion, her dancing posture is just mediocre. It even has the intention of showing off deliberately. The dance turned into an undeserved dance. In this way, the identity, appearance, and dancing posture mentioned by the queen's mother are naturally insignificant in my eyes, and they are nothing more than that."
What he said was not what he said, but he almost didn't call this beautiful girl a piece of shit.
But his tone has always been serious and peaceful, without the slightest intention of arguing with the Queen Mother, as if he was just seeking truth from facts.
Because many show girls are present, and these girls who don't have any entertainment activities like to gossip or gossip on weekdays.
Therefore, he tried his best to convince people with reason.
And made it clear that he was not targeting the Wuya clan.
But for all low-status show girls.
This made the show girls present even more nervous.
Xin said that the empress dowager's nieces were all brushed off, and they were even more so.
Seeing this scene, Ruoyin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
It seems that fourth master's piercing eyes are very capable of identifying whores.
She could see that this beautiful girl was using too much force, and he was not deceived by her dancing posture, so she could see it too.
However, at best, it can only be said that Xiu Nu wants to be selected too much.
But the fourth master said it was an indecent dance, which is really a poisonous tongue.
