"The folk girl Zhang Zhaodi has met Mr. Zhao."
When Zhang Zhaodi entered the room, although there was not much nervousness in her words and deeds, she kept her head lowered. When she saluted Zhao Junchen, her voice was also low and soft. You need to listen carefully to hear it clearly. .
However, Zhang Zhaodi kept his head lowered like this, but Zhao Junchen was unable to see her face clearly.
So, Zhao Junchen said: "Lift your head and let me take a look at your appearance."
After a slight hesitation, Zhang Zhaodi slowly raised her head, and her appearance was finally revealed in front of Zhao Junchen.
I saw Zhang Zhaodi's exquisite facial features, delicate eyebrows, long eyelashes, and fair skin. Combined with her small figure, although she is not very stunning, she is very attractive. She does not feel conspicuous at first glance, but she is of the type that becomes more pleasing to the eye the more she looks at her.
In addition, there is a kind of meekness in Zhang Zhaodi's temperament that is almost unbearable. She seems weak and strong at the same time, which makes people feel pity and peace of mind.
After seeing Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament, Zhao Junchen suddenly understood why Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Feiyan deliberately targeted her in the first place.
Some people say that there are two types of so-called "femininity", one is charming and seductive, and the other is weak and tender. The former stimulates men's possessiveness, and the latter stimulates men's desire for protection.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yinger is the former and Zhang Zhaodi is the latter.
Originally, these two temperaments are like peonies and roses. Each is good at winning and has its own advantages. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. However, Zhang Zhaodi's delicate temperament is far more impressive than Zhao Ying'er's charming temperament. Therefore, when Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi are together, all the advantages of Zhao Ying'er will become Zhang Zhaodi's foil. As for Zhao Ying'er's shortcomings, they will be amplified a lot because of Zhang Zhaodi's existence.
Compared with Zhang Zhaodi's delicate and pitiful character, Zhao Ying'er's intelligence and shrewdness have turned into aggressive and domineering. Compared with Zhang Zhaodi's unruly attitude. Zhao Ying'er's observation of words and expressions has become scheming. Compared with Zhang Zhaodi's good-looking and pleasing to the eye, the flaws in Zhao Ying'er's appearance are more obvious.
When Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Ying'er appear together, everyone will first notice Zhao Ying'er's existence. But as time goes by, most people's eyes will gradually shift to Zhang Zhaodi, and gradually ignore Zhao Ying'er.
Obviously, Zhao Ying'er must have discovered this keenly and believed that Zhang Zhaodi was a great threat to herself. That's why Zhang Zhaodi was deliberately targeted and humiliated repeatedly.
As for Zhang Feiyan, this woman is only smart but not very wise. The reason why she followed Zhao Ying'er to humiliate Zhang Zhaodi was obviously only instigated and used by Zhao Ying'er.
*
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhao Junchen's mind.
Just like Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, Zhao Junchen was already very sure after just seeing Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament - the woman in front of him was exactly the role he needed in his plan!
It’s not just that Zhang Zhaodi’s appearance and temperament are in line with Emperor Deqing’s aesthetics. What's even better is that after pairing Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Ying'er together, Zhang Zhaodi's advantages become more prominent!
It is conceivable that if Zhao Ying'er entered the palace and became a concubine, and Zhang Zhaodi served as Zhao Ying'er's accompanying maid, then Emperor Deqing would be like everyone else. He would only notice Zhao Ying'er's existence at first, but the further he goes on, the more he will feel it. Zhang Zhaodi looked pleasing to the eye, and gradually liked Zhang Zhaodi even more.
The most important thing is that with Zhao Ying'er's shrewdness and intelligence as a cover, Emperor Deqing will not be too wary of Zhang Zhaodi. This will allow Zhao Junchen to find many opportunities to take advantage of, and the certainty of some of Zhao Junchen's plans will also increase a lot!
However, just in case, Zhao Junchen decided to ask Zhang Zhaodi a few questions.
then. Zhao Junchen nodded to Zhang Zhaodi and said: "Sit down, you don't need to be nervous and think too much. I just want to ask you a few questions and learn about your situation."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Zhang Zhaodi agreed softly, and then sat down obediently.
"Your name. And your relationship with the Zhao family." Zhao Junchen began to ask.
"Zhang Zhaodi, a daughter of the people, her parents died early, and she has only one younger brother in the family. Over the years, the daughter of the people and her brother have been staying with her cousin, who is a cousin of the Zhao family." Zhang Zhaodi still used a soft and soft voice. replied.
The relationship with Zhao Junchen is far away, but this has its advantages. After entering the palace, it will be easier for Zhang Zhaodi to hide her origins.
Zhao Junchen continued to ask: "What do you think your strengths are? What are your shortcomings?"
Faced with Zhao Junchen's straightforward questioning, Zhang Zhaodi did not show any panic. In fact, Zhang Zhaodi did not seem to really expect that she could enter the palace and become a concubine, so she did not care about her performance. She just remained silent for a moment and replied. : "My lord's question has never been thought of by the common people, so I can't answer it."
This answer seems a bit confusing, but considering Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament, as well as the role she will play in the future, this answer cannot be considered wrong.
So, Zhao Junchen asked again: "What do you think you are good at? What do you think you are good at? What are you not good at?"
"Folk girls can serve people and do housework, but they are not good at anything else."
Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, but it unfolded in an instant and continued to ask: "Tell me the reason why you want to enter the palace."
"Folk girls don't know the life in the palace, and they don't want to enter the palace. It was my cousin who asked people girls to come."
After hearing this answer, Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue asking. However, after hesitating for a while, Zhao Junchen continued to ask: "If you enter the palace, what is your most important thing?" Your mission is to serve His Majesty and please His Majesty, so what do you think you should do?"
After Zhang Zhaodi thought for a while, she replied: "Take good care of the emperor's daily life, food and clothing, and then act and speak according to the emperor's thoughts so as not to make him more upset... If the emperor is willing to complain, then quietly listen to his complaints... People That’s all a woman can think of.”
Zhao Junchen's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Zhaodi's answer.
Perhaps, this would be the best way to please Emperor Deqing! Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
Zhao Junchen often felt exhausted when fighting in the temple, so Zhao Junchen knew very well how rare it would be to have a woman by his side who was willing to calm down and listen to his complaints and would never cause trouble. matter.
So, after Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, he thought about it again, but did not continue to ask the next two questions. He just said to Zhang Zhaodi: "Okay, that's all my questions. You can leave."
Zhao Junchen did not evaluate whether Zhang Zhaodi's answer was good or bad, but Zhang Zhaodi did not care about it. After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, he stood up and saluted Zhao Junchen lightly, then turned and left.
…………
After Zhao Junchen summoned and interviewed all the girls of the Zhao family's age, he recalled the different performances of these Zhao family girls and became very sure that Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi were the two candidates he needed.
If these two people are listed separately, they may each have their own shortcomings, but when they are paired together, the effect will be greatly increased.
So, Zhao Junchen said to Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan beside him: "It seems that your two recommendations are correct. In comparison, Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi are indeed the most suitable candidates."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's speech, both Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan were happy. As Zhao Junchen's staff, it was naturally a good thing that their suggestions were adopted by Zhao Junchen.
However, Xiao Wenxuan's expression of joy only flashed by, and then he said with a serious face: "But, sir, have you seriously considered the relationship between Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi? Before, Zhao Ying'er repeatedly bullied Zhang Zhaodi, obviously because of watching If you don’t get used to her, if you let them enter the palace together, something unexpected might happen.”
On the other side, after hearing Xiao Wenxuan's words, Su Xiqing's expression became much more cautious, and then said: "Also, Zhang Zhaodi's relationship with you is really far away, and although she looks like she is being rebellious, But I think her temperament is quite tenacious, and she is by no means a person who can be easily controlled. Is it too risky for her to play such an important role? In addition, Zhang Zhaodi’s name is also somewhat unrefined... "

So, there will still be two updates tomorrow!
