Chapter 356 Position
Rows of beautifully dressed women followed the maid into the hall.
Then they stood in front of the emperor one by one, waiting for his selection.
The emperor glanced over, then pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Second Mother, I feel like these people all look the same."
Jiang Sujin: "I've seen it so many times that I'm really tired of it."
The emperor couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this: "Second Lady, you say these little words every day, it's really novel."
Jiang Sujin: "When people see something too much, it really doesn't feel fresh anymore."
The emperor pouted and said like a child, "Then, is there anything else worth watching next?"
Jiang Sujin: "Of course there are. Your Majesty, please be patient and wait!"
Emperor: "Didn't you say that you had eliminated all the ugly ones?"
Jiang Sujin: "Yes, these are all similar. I just want Your Majesty to choose for himself. After all, it is you who chooses the concubines, and I cannot make all the decisions!"
Emperor: "I believe in Second Lady's judgment."
Jiang Sujin: "Your Majesty, if you just hold on a little longer, there will be good things in the future."
The emperor sighed and continued.
Wave after wave of people were eliminated.
Of course, the women with better family backgrounds were still kept by the emperor.
The emperor also wanted to appease those ministers, and did not want to offend them.
Of course, the prerequisite is that this person really can see through it.
When it came to Shen Yueqing, the emperor naturally wanted to give face to the Shen family, so he chatted with her for a few more words.
When Shen Yueqing saw the emperor talking to her, she was so happy that she almost forgot about etiquette.
Finally, the emperor looked at Jiang Sujin and said, "Second Mother, what position do you think should be given to her?"
Jiang Sujin: "How can a minister have the final say on this matter?"
The emperor couldn't help but act coquettishly again: "Hey, Second Lady, can you give me a suggestion? I don't know what position to give them. After all, they are my family members, so they are naturally different from others."
Jiang Sujin: "How could that be? They are all the same. Your Majesty doesn't need to think about anything else."
The Emperor: "Why not just give her the title of Consort?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yueqing couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Jiang Sujin said directly: "That won't work. Yue Qing is only fifteen years old, still a child. How can she possibly be worthy of the title of consort?"
When Shen Yueqing heard this, her face instantly darkened. Why was this aunt still holding her back?
Emperor: "What position do you think it should be?"
Jiang Sujin: "If the emperor wants to show his favor to the Shen family, he can just make her one level higher than the newcomers. There is really no need to raise her too high."
The emperor was very satisfied with Jiang Sujin's words. In fact, he thought so in his heart, but he was afraid that the Shen family would not agree.
Now it seems that Er Niang really has no selfish motives at all.
"Okay, let's do as Er Niang wants and give Bao Lin a position!"
Shen Yueqing: "I would like to thank the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor."
Emperor: "Stand up!"
Shen Yueqing: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Shen Yueqing left, another row of people came up.
The emperor was yawning, but when he saw the person coming, his yawn stopped instantly.
The moment the woman came up, his eyes could no longer see anyone else.
The eunuch introduced the origins of these women one by one, but the emperor didn't hear what the eunuch said at all.
The emperor has always liked Er Niang's appearance. He has always felt that only a woman like her can be called a beauty.
However, the woman in front of him was clearly Er Niang in her childhood, and even her temperament was similar to hers, neither humble nor arrogant, dignified and elegant.
"Second... Second Mother, this woman..."
Jiang Sujin naturally saw the emperor's reaction, which made her laugh.
"Your Majesty, why are you stuttering?"
When the emperor heard this, his ears turned red instantly.
"I...I am just curious, why does this woman look exactly like you?"
Jiang Sujin: "Of course, she is my cousin!"
The emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "Ah? Isn't that my cousin?"
Jiang Sujin: "I am not the emperor's biological mother."
The Emperor: "Not a relative, but better than a relative."
Jiang Sujin: "Oh, so the emperor doesn't like his cousin?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately said, "No, of course I don't like it. I... like it very much." As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Li Ranxi again.
There really is such a good thing in the world. He really married a woman like Er Niang.
Jiang Sujin: "Your Majesty, Ranxi is actually eighteen years old this year."
The emperor was staring at Li Ranxi in a daze, so much so that he couldn't hear what Jiang Sujin was saying.
Jiang Sujin: "Your Majesty!"
Emperor: "Ah... Second Mother, what did you say?"
Jiang Sujin: "I said that Xi'er is already eighteen years old. I wonder if the emperor minds?"
The Emperor: "Of course I don't mind. I'm also eighteen, so we're exactly the same age."
Jiang Sujin: "She actually has a poor family background. Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and her mother died young. This child also suffered a lot since she was a child."
Upon hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but look at Li Ranxi.
Her life experience was similar to his. His mother also died young. Although Shen Yanfeng treated him well, his aunt tortured him a lot.
Jiang Sujin: "Although she is my cousin, we don't share the same surname, so the only thing I can do for her is to make an exception and let her enter the palace."
The Emperor: "Second Mother did the right thing. It was thanks to Second Mother that she was brought into the palace."
As he said this, he looked at Li Ranxi again. Li Ranxi kept her eyes down, not daring to look directly at the emperor.
"Come forward!"
Li Ranxi didn't know that he was talking about her, so she kept her eyes down.
Seeing this, the father-in-law hurried over and said to Li Ranxi.
"My lady, the emperor asked you to take two steps forward."
Li Ranxi suddenly became nervous when she heard that. Then, she took a deep breath and took two steps forward.
"A little further forward." The emperor couldn't help but say.
Upon hearing this, Li Ranxi hurriedly took a few steps forward, then stood still with his eyes lowered.
The emperor looked at the person in front of him and suddenly lost control of his expression.
"Look up and see me."
Li Ranxi raised her head as she was told, then looked at the emperor with a little nervousness.
The emperor is very tall and handsome, much better than those old men.
When Li Ranxi thought of this, he suddenly couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The emperor looked at her smile and couldn't help but laugh too.
Jiang Sujin saw that the two of them seemed to be attracted to each other, which made her unable to help but smile too.
The emperor looked at Li Ranxi and asked, "What's your name?"
Li Ranxi: "My name is Li Ranxi!"
Emperor: "Li Ranxi, Xi'er, this name is very good!"
Jiang Sujin: "Then leave the sign."
The Emperor: "Since he is Er Niang's cousin, he should naturally be given a rank."
Jiang Sujin: "Her position is not suitable..."
The Emperor: "Then give me a position as a talented person!"
Cairen is one level higher than Baolin. A new person is named Cairen when he enters the palace, which is considered a very high position.
"I thank the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor."
