Chapter 944 It All Depends on the Emperor’s Sister-in-Law.
Zhao Yuanjing had no interest at all. Until now, except for Jiang Ran and Xue Yiru, who looked exactly like Yun Dai, he couldn't even remember the looks of the other beautiful girls.
He was still thinking about what happened in the court.
After the beginning of spring, farming will begin in various places. In order to avoid another famine in the coming year, he must urge local officials to distribute seeds to farmers for free early.
This is a major plan for the country and must not be taken lightly.
In contrast, Zhao Yuanjing felt that the so-called draft was just messing around with the Queen Mother.
He also stood up and said to Yun Dai: "The queen will take care of the rest. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yun Dai watched them leave one by one and was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, are you leaving too? Am I the only one who makes the decision on choosing a concubine for Prince Yi?"
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "I believe the queen can choose a suitable one. Didn't the fourth child say it himself? As long as the emperor's sister-in-law makes her own decision, he can do it."
Yun Dai glanced at Zhao Yuanhe.
Zhao Yuanhe smiled gently: "Yes, the emperor is right. The emperor's sister-in-law has the final say on my brother's affairs."
Yun Dai said: "In this case, I will choose."
"Sister-in-law, please invite me."
After Zhao Yuanjing left, Yun Dai called all the remaining beautiful ladies to the front and looked at them carefully one by one.
These beautiful girls have been screened once. At least all of them have dignified appearance and have no major faults. Besides, Zhao Yuanhe couldn't see, so appearance was not the most important thing.
Judging from her family background, she definitely couldn't choose a commoner showgirl.
No matter what happened to Zhao Yuanhe, he was still a prince.
So she selected a dozen showgirls with good family backgrounds, and gave all the rest to Liu Dequan, asking him to keep dozens of them as maids in the palace at his discretion, distribute them everywhere, and give them to the nuns.
These dozen beautiful girls stood in front of Yun Dai, with their eyes slightly lowered. They were all dignified and elegant.
Yun Dai held the roster and looked at it one by one, unable to make up her mind for a while.
They all look good, at least their appearance, family background and other external conditions are good.
As for personality, etc., it is impossible to fully know it from one or two sentences.
She thought for a while, put down the list, and asked, "Which one of you is willing to marry far away?"
Hearing this, the show girls looked at each other, but no one spoke for a while.
Marrying far away means that you may never be able to return to your hometown or see your family again.
Most women are unwilling to marry far away. After all, in this era, it is very important to have the support of the husband's family.
Zhao Yuanhe stood beside Yun Dai, quietly, with a gentle smile on his face, not at all embarrassed by such a topic.
"No one is willing?" Yun Dai repeated.
The show girls were quiet for a while, and two of them spoke.
"My slave is willing."
Then three more people spoke one after another: "My slave is also willing."
Yun Dai was very happy: "Five of you will stay, and the rest will go to Manager Liu first."
These beautiful girls, whose family background is too good, cannot stay in the palace and serve as maids, so they are given jewelry or the like, which is a comfort at least, and they can be sent home to get married on their own.
Yun Dai glanced at the remaining five and asked the last question.
"Do any of you know that His Highness Prince Yi was born blind?"
When the five beautiful ladies heard this, three of them immediately changed their expressions.
Regarding King Yi's eyes, it was not a glorious thing in Beijing back then.
