This time, Zhao Ying'er thought for a long time, but Zhao Junchen was not in a hurry, just calculating the time secretly in his heart.
Although the term "outspoken and outspoken" is mistaken by many people as a compliment, in fact speaking without thinking often does bad things and offends people. When it comes to temple intrigues, Zhao Junchen prefers people who can think carefully before speaking calmly. Although such people are a little more deep-tempered, they are also safe and secure to use.
After about tens of seconds, Zhao Ying'er finally organized her words and said: "Ying'er doesn't hide it from Mr. Zhao. Ying'er has not seriously thought about this issue before. I just heard that Mr. Zhao is going to choose a girl from the Zhao family to send in." After becoming a concubine in the palace, Ying'er was tempted and wanted to be a candidate to enter the palace. As for why she wanted to enter the palace, Ying'er really didn't seriously consider it..."
After shaking her head slightly, Zhao Ying'er's expression became more determined and continued: "However, looking back now, Ying'er doesn't need any special reason to want to enter the palace. For men, there are ways to realize their ambitions. Many people, whether they are becoming generals or ministers, becoming famous in the literary world, or making money in business, as long as they achieve certain achievements, they can become famous and become famous in the world. However, women are different from men. There is only one ambition that women can realize, and that is Being able to marry a good husband, and the quality of her husband is the only thing that women in the world can boast about... However, who among the men in the world can compare to the emperor? If there is a chance to become the emperor's wife , Ying'er naturally wants to fight for it with all her strength."
Hearing Zhao Ying'er's explanation, Zhao Junchen's eyes flickered slightly.
This Zhao Ying'er is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. She actually wants to be the emperor's wife - you know, although the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and countless concubines, the emperor has only one wife, and that is the queen! Zhao Ying'er claimed that she wanted to be the emperor's wife, obviously. Even after Zhao Ying'er enters the palace, she will never be reconciled to being just a concubine, and will definitely try her best to climb up.
However, although her ambition was somewhat exposed, Zhao Ying'er was able to say such words and her mind was considered sober.
then. Zhao Junchen still did not go into details, but nodded slightly and asked the fourth question: "After entering the palace, your most important task is to please His Majesty, so how do you think you should do this?"
Regarding Zhao Junchen’s question. Zhao Ying'er's answer was straightforward, shaking her head and saying: "If you want to please a person, you must first understand his character and thoughts, as well as his mood and thoughts at the time, and then the methods and means also vary from person to person and from time to time. However, Ying'er does not understand today's The emperor’s personality is such that Ying’er can’t tell you a specific method.”
Zhao Junchen is still very satisfied with Zhao Ying'er's answer. If Zhao Ying'er chooses to express his views in a rhetorical and self-righteous way on this issue. Then Zhao Junchen will eliminate her.
After nodding again, Zhao Junchen continued to ask: "If you are finally admitted to the palace, what benefits do you think you can bring to me and the Zhao family? Or. To put it in a more direct way, why should I recommend it? Are you entering the palace?"
This time, Zhao Ying'er still did not hesitate at all and replied: "If Ying'er finally enters the palace, then Ying'er is in the harem and I am in the front court, and there will definitely be a relationship of honor and disgrace in the future. Your Excellency, you are in the front court. Ying'er's power can increase Ying'er's royal family in the harem, and Ying'er's holy family in the harem will also increase your lord's favor in the previous dynasty. Therefore, after Ying'er enters the palace, she will do her best to protect your interests, lord. , seek benefits for you. Whether it is to hint to the emperor about your loyalty and various benefits, to try to increase your majesty's holy love for you, or to secretly observe your thoughts and thoughts, and then report it to your Majesty, so that you can Being able to predict things in advance and prepare the temple in advance according to His Majesty's wishes are all things Ying'er must do after entering the palace."
After a pause, Zhao Ying'er added with a serious look: "Ying'er is a person who understands the importance of things. Ying'er also knows exactly what to do and how to do it when the time comes. If Ying'er can enter the palace, then For you, my lord, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, so please rest assured about this, lord."
Hearing Zhao Ying'er's words, Zhao Junchen, who had always been expressionless, laughed lightly for the first time.
Previously, Zhao Junchen's question was clearly about what kind of benefits Zhao Ying'er could obtain for the Zhao family and himself after entering the palace, but Zhao Ying'er's answer only related to Zhao Junchen, but never mentioned the Zhao family's affairs. Obviously Zhao Ying'er was hinting at Zhao Junchen. , after she enters the palace, everything will be dominated by Zhao Junchen, and she will not interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family based on her status as a harem concubine. She will only fight for the interests of Zhao Junchen. As for what will happen to the Zhao family in the future, it will all be left to Zhao Junchen. Junchen decided.
"This Zhao Ying'er knows how to choose, and can clearly see the difference between me and the Yangzhou Zhao family. In addition, she also understands the interest relationship between the harem and the former dynasty, and knows what she should do after entering the palace. It seems that Zhao Ying'er is indeed a smart woman... I just hope she can continue to be smart."
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen returned to his calm expression again and began to ask the last question: "This is just a hypothesis. If you are not the candidate to enter the palace in the end, then among the others, who do you most hope to enter?" Palace, who do you least want to enter the palace? What are the reasons?"
Zhao Ying'er's answer was still very straightforward - it seemed that compared to the roundabout way of questioning, she was more suitable for Zhao Junchen's straightforward questioning style - she quickly replied: "If the candidate who enters the palace is not Ying'er in the end, then Ying'er won't be either. I hope everyone else will enter the palace! It’s not that Ying’er is selfish, but that Ying’er thinks that the other women from the Zhao family are not suitable candidates for entering the palace! If they enter the palace, I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to even gain a foothold, let alone ask for help. The emperor is pleased and strives for benefits for you, your lord, but it may also cause you troubles. Not only does it have no benefits, but it also has many disadvantages. Therefore, for your consideration, if Ying'er cannot enter the palace, then Ying'er cannot enter the palace. Hope anyone else comes into the palace.”
Zhao Junchen did not comment on Zhao Ying'er's thoughts, but after taking a deep look at Zhao Ying'er, he nodded and said: "Very good, that's all my questions. You can leave now."
Seeing that Zhao Junchen did not comment on her answers, and did not know whether she was satisfied with them or not, Zhao Ying'er seemed to have a flash of surprise and guilt in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, saluted Zhao Junchen again, and then turned and left. Did not continue to struggle.
His psychological quality is also good, and his temperament is much calmer than expected - Zhao Junchen commented secretly as he watched Zhao Ying'er leave.
It can be said that after some evaluation, Zhao Junchen was basically satisfied with Zhao Ying'er's performance. They think that Zhao Ying'er has good adaptability, is good at observing people's words, has a clear mind, rigorous thoughts, dares to express herself, and has a keen vision. She is indeed a good candidate to enter the palace and become a concubine.
If Zhao Ying'er has any flaws, it is that she is too ambitious, too confident, and too profit-seeking. These qualities are double-edged swords. At some point in the future, she may hurt herself and implicate Zhao Junchen.
Simply put, Zhao Ying'er is a smart woman, but she can easily be misled by her cleverness.
In addition, Zhao Ying'er's charming eyes are not in line with the aesthetics of this era. Although it will give people a sense of stunningness, it is a pity that it is not attractive.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen gave Zhao Ying'er a score that was neither high nor low, and then began to summon the next woman from the Zhao family.
This time, Zhao Junchen summoned Zhang Feiyan, who is as famous as Zhao Yinger.
According to Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, Zhang Feiyan's beauty is not inferior to that of Zhao Ying'er, and her family background is even better. Recently, in the west courtyard of the Zhao family's ancestral home, Zhang Feiyan and Zhao Ying'er are both good at winning, and both are in the limelight. People raise eyebrows and are considered to be the two most likely candidates to enter the palace.
In addition, the bullying that Zhang Zhaodi suffered was also caused by the joint efforts of Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Feiyan.
However, after Zhao Junchen "interviewed" Zhang Feiyan, he was greatly disappointed.
Although this woman is somewhat clever and very beautiful, her quick wit, intelligence, character, and methods are far inferior to Zhao Ying'er. Not only is she unable to adapt to Zhao Junchen's questioning style, but her answers are also very ridiculous. For example, Zhao Junchen asked Zhang Feiyan When introducing herself, Zhang Feiyan actually introduced her father, a fifth-rank official, to Zhao Junchen in detail, with a proud look, as if Zhao Junchen still wanted to see her father's face; Zhao Junchen asked her After reviewing her advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Feiyan even boasted about herself, but the content of her boast could not withstand scrutiny at all. When Zhao Junchen asked her how to please Emperor Deqing, Zhang Feiyan took it for granted and boasted...
The most helpless thing is that when Zhao Junchen asked her to leave, Zhang Feiyan saw that Zhao Junchen did not make any comment, and actually pestered Zhao Junchen for a long time, looking completely at a loss of whether to advance or retreat.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen eliminated Zhang Feiyan simply.
Although Zhang Feiyan has the best family background among the women in the Zhao family, and her father is a local official...does Zhao Junchen still need to consider the idea of a fifth-grade sesame official?
*
Then, Zhao Junchen summoned several women from the Zhao family for "interviews" in succession, but it turned out that none of the other women from the Zhao family could compare with Zhao Ying'er.
Although Zhao Ying'er has some flaws, comparatively speaking, she does seem to be the best candidate to enter the palace.
Then, Zhao Junchen finally summoned another person recommended by Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing - Zhang Zhaodi.
