Many days have passed!
Fang Jing had taken note of Jie Qianmo’s recent strange behavior.
Fang Jing thought to himself, His Majesty is simply lonely!
Besides the eunuchs serving him, there were no other women by his side!
If His Majesty had taken concubines and married earlier, perhaps by now he would have little princes and princesses!
Three years!
Since ascending the throne, how many ministers had introduced their daughters into the palace!
But His Majesty, on the contrary, had rejected them all!
Even during the imperial selections in the past two years, he hadn't taken a liking to anyone!
One didn't know what kind of woman His Majesty preferred!
As the saying goes, the emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuchs are!
Fang Jing was worried sick on the side!
One day!
At midnight!
Fang Jing, who was on guard outside the sleeping quarters, heard a sound from within and immediately entered to serve!
"Your Majesty, are you unable to sleep?" Fang Jing whispered!
Jie Qianmo sat by the imperial bed, his expression extremely grim.
"Prepare water, I wish to bathe."
Fang Jing was stunned!
Hadn't His Majesty bathed before going to bed? Why did he want to bathe again?
One second later!
Fang Jing quickly understood, then ordered the servants to prepare water.
"Remove all of this, replace it all!" Jie Qianmo held his forehead, feeling unwell all over.
He had just dreamed of Qin Yun, and had a strange dream!
In the dream, they were extremely intimate!
Most importantly, not only did he not feel disgusted, but he quite liked that feeling!
Jie Qianmo felt he was going mad!
He knew clearly that he was not interested in men!
Yet, he quite enjoyed being in contact with Qin Yun!
Thinking of this! Jie Qianmo became restless!
"Your Majesty, shall we summon a beauty to serve you tonight?" Fang Jing asked cautiously.
Jie Qianmo swept him a cold glance. "Do you wish to go manage chores with your master?"
"This servant deserves death, this servant shouldn't have spoken unnecessarily!" Fang Jing was terrified and knelt on the ground, slapping himself twice.
Jie Qianmo squinted at Fang Jing, who was admitting his mistake on the ground, and suddenly changed his mind.
"As you said, arrange for a beauty in the adjacent sleeping quarters. I will go over shortly!"
What!
Fang Jing was stunned, then quickly came to his senses!
Wonderful!
His Majesty had made up his mind!
He finally wanted to favor a beauty!
Perhaps in a few days, concubines would be successively enfeoffed in the palace!
In a year or so, perhaps there would be little princes and princesses in the palace. At that time, the entire palace would not be so lifeless!
His Majesty would not be so lonely!
Fang Jing hurriedly got up and stumbled outwards!
As soon as he exited the hall, he began summoning all the young eunuchs, asking everyone to think carefully... whom should they summon to the palace to serve that would be most appropriate?
"This servant believes that Consort Xi, who entered the palace two years ago, is good. She is fair and delicate, cute and charming!" Eunuch A said.
"This servant believes that Consort Yao is suitable. Her figure is enchanting, and she is alluring and charming. His Majesty will surely like her!" Eunuch B said.
"In my opinion, Consort Qingli is the most beautiful. Her pair of large, watery eyes, her mouth as pretty as a cherry, and her figure is also well-proportioned!" another Eunuch C said.
"His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, not just any woman will do. It must be a woman who is heroic and spirited, with an imposing demeanor, preferably one who practices martial arts. I think the third daughter of the General's mansion, Zheng Kejun, would be good! Coincidentally, this Third Miss Zheng also likes His Majesty, making them a perfect match!" one of the youngest eunuchs said happily.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the eunuchs objected!
"That Third Miss Zheng is strong and burly, with such a broad figure, how can she be considered a woman? Her hands are also strong, what if she injures His Majesty?"
"Exactly! His Majesty is looking for a beauty to serve him, not to fight with! A woman's body needs to be soft. Miss Zheng's body is so stiff, it won't do!"
Fang Jing was overwhelmed by all this!
"You've all said so much, can you unify your opinions and ideas? Don't choose based on your own preferences, but on His Majesty's preferred type!"
"Eunuch Fang, Consort Xi is good, so let's summon Consort Xi to the palace to serve. She will surely serve His Majesty comfortably!"
"Eunuch Fang, listen to me, Consort Qingli is good. She looks pleasing to the eye, let alone serving him. She won't be any worse than Consort Xi!"
"Eunuch Fang! Don't listen to either of them. Serving people is a job for Consort Yao. Think about Consort Yao's proud figure, which man wouldn't be roused? His Majesty will surely be satisfied!"
Fang Jing wore a bitter expression. "Alright, alright! In my opinion, let's summon all the beauties you recommended into the palace! Then His Majesty can choose personally!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"This is a good idea! Whoever His Majesty fancies will be chosen!"
"Let's summon them all into the palace, it will save a lot of trouble. If His Majesty dislikes someone mid-way, he can switch to another!"
"Eunuch Fang still has ideas! Eunuch Fang, quickly issue the decree and invite these beauties into the palace quickly!"
That night! Many noble daughters heard that His Majesty had summoned many beauties overnight!
For a time, various mansions were in turmoil!
They all began to plan how to send their daughters into the palace!
At night!
Various ornate carriages entered the palace in succession, with over twenty women entering the palace.
Among them, half of the women were forcibly put into carriages by their parents and sent into the palace. Some women had dressed themselves up, found carriages, and lined up to enter the palace overnight.
Inside the carriages!
At this moment, everyone had a standard. They were all looking at themselves in bronze mirrors.
In the carriages, the women adjusted their clothing and then their makeup!
Inside the carriages!
In one of the carriages was Qin Fu's third daughter, Qin Yu!
At this moment, Qin Yu was extremely excited! She pulled her maid and asked questions. "Qiu'er, how is my makeup today? Are there any flaws? Will His Majesty like me like this?"
"Miss, you are like a lotus emerging from water, beautiful beyond compare. His Majesty will surely like you tonight!"
Hearing this, Qin Yu looked shy. "That's an exaggeration, you're just flattering me!"
Qiu'er softly said. "This servant speaks the truth. Miss is the foremost talented woman in the capital. Whether in talent or appearance, Miss is second to none!"
Qin Yu's lips curved slightly, she spread her hands, and said nervously. "How is this dress of mine? Is the style new? Is the color exaggerated?"
"Miss is beautiful and has a great figure, no matter what kind of dress she wears, it will be the best!"
Qin Yu smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with starlight!
"This is a good opportunity to enter the palace, I will definitely cherish it! As long as I enter the palace and become His Majesty's concubine, let's see how that wench Qin Yun still dares to be arrogant with me!" Qin Yu proudly tilted her chin, as if entering the palace was a sure thing!
Similarly!
In another carriage!
"Miss, don't be upset anymore. Father is also thinking of you. If you are chosen tonight, then our Prime Minister's mansion will be able to walk sideways in the capital without anyone daring to say a word!"
Su Man'er lay in the carriage, crying like a fountain. "This young lady doesn't want to enter the palace at all! His Majesty is so fierce. Who knows when I'll make a mistake and be beheaded by accident!" Thinking of the guillotine three years ago, Su Man'er trembled all over.
"Your Highness Li, Man'er misses you so much! If I am chosen by His Majesty tonight, we will part ways forever!" Su Man'er's mind was filled with Jie Zixuan!
"Miss, what are you talking about? You can't say such things. If they are overheard by someone with intentions, it will implicate both you and His Highness Li!"
