Zhang Zhao entered the study, and after seeing Lu Xuan, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Zhao, pays homage to your Majesty."
Lu Xuan saw the stack of papers in Zhang Zhao's hand and immediately understood and asked: "Zhang Qing, is there any result?"
Zhang Zhao respectfully replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have selected eighteen young and beautiful women from among the civil and military officials. The portraits of all the women are provided by my own family members. They are authentic and reliable. Please read them."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhao handed over a stack of paper in his hand.
The first piece of drawing paper in this pile is Zhuge Rong's portrait. In Zhang Zhao's heart, Zhuge Rong was his first choice.
If Zhuge Rong's appearance is relatively ordinary, Zhang Zhao will adjust his strategy and put the person with the worse appearance at the front, and then arrange Zhuge Rong at the bottom. But among all the people, Zhuge Rong is the most beautiful and just needs to be placed at the front.
The moment Lu Xuan saw Zhuge Rong, he thought of Zhuge Rong when he went to visit Zhuge Liang.
Luo Luo generous!
Capable and calm!
Moreover, it gives people an elegant and calm impression.
Lu Xuan examined it carefully and found that the portrait was indeed good, showing all the advantages of Zhuge Rong. Although the look of Zhuge Rong's eyes is not as lifelike as that of a real person, it is quite good.
Lu Xuan calmly put Zhuge Rong's portrait aside and continued to look down. After looking at Zhuge Rong’s portraits, and then looking at the other portraits, they are almost boring. They are all vulgar and vulgar.
Lu Xuan read all the people and did not rush to express his opinion. He looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "Zhang Qing, who do you think is the most suitable?"
Zhang Zhao said slowly: "Reporting to your Majesty, although the appearance of these eighteen selected women are somewhat different, they are all women with excellent character and virtuous virtue."
"I have carefully investigated the character of any woman. There is no problem. She is a good match for the king."
"So, it's all up to the king to choose."
"Whoever the king chooses will be blessed. Thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from the king. Whoever the king chooses will be blessed by heaven."
Zhang Zhao did not take the initiative to express his position.
When it comes to selecting concubines, he can select women for Lu Xuan for Lu Xuan's reference and selection. In his eyes, or in the eyes of others, Lu Xuan seemed to be good at just this one, after all, he was a foodie.
However, Zhang Zhao couldn't appoint anyone?
This is taboo.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, with relaxed eyes, and said: "You have provided too many women, and I am a bit dazzled by them. In this way, I will order Zhuge Rong and return the other women. Otherwise, if you choose too many women, it will not matter. suitable."
"I obey."
Zhang Zhao answered immediately.
He achieved the expected goal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said seriously: "I will immediately inform Zhuge Jin and let him make arrangements. I will urge the Zhuge family and let the Zhuge family choose a good day to send Zhuge Rong into the palace." The palace.”
"Thank you Zhang Qing."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
Zhang Zhao turned around and left the study, then invited Zhuge Jin to go to the staff department for duty, and said with a smile: "Tzuyu, congratulations."
Zhuge Jin understood instantly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "All of this is because your sister Zhuge Rong has outstanding appearance and is the best among all the girls. If she cannot achieve this, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. Your Majesty has agreed, so now, you can choose a good time and auspicious day to report to me, and I will Report it to the king so that you can send Zhuge Rong to the palace."
Zhuge Jin nodded and said: "I will arrange for someone to tell my uncle and ask him to make arrangements. I will tell Duke Zhang the time tonight. How about tonight, Duke Zhang goes to my house for a banquet?"
Zhang Zhao paused, shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate, at least not right now. When the dust settles, I'll go ask for a drink."
Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang is right."
He stopped lingering, stood up to say goodbye, and returned to his duty room to get busy.
While Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin were busy on their own, in the blink of an eye, in the evening, everyone working in the palace went home. Lu Xuan also left the study and returned to Da Qiao's yard in the backyard.
The couple had dinner in the evening, had some constructive tenderness, and then returned to their normal sage state. They stayed together and chatted, talking about the affairs of the palace and Lu Yu.
Lu Xuan changed the topic and said, "In a few days, I will admit Zhuge Rong, Zhuge Jin's sister, into the palace. This matter has been decided and Zhang Zhao is handling it."
Da Qiao looked very normal.
She is used to this. Lu Xuan is a lord and king. Do you expect him to guard the women at home?
Totally unrealistic!
Da Qiao's request was very simple. Lu Xuan often came to her yard, and the relationship between the couple was still very good. Moreover, her son Lu Yu is the eldest son of Prince Wu and the future heir of the Kingdom of Wu.
Da Qiao doesn't have many pursuits.
Da Qiao thought for a while and said, "Husband, I have met this sister Zhuge before. She is a pretty good girl."
Lu Xuan asked: "When did we meet?"
Da Qiao replied: "I have summoned the family members of civil and military officials, and it is Sister Zhuge who is here."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Zhuge Rong has entered the palace, please help her more and get closer to her."
Da Qiao said: "I know how to do it."
Lu Xuan looked at Da Qiao's appearance, scraped Da Qiao's nose, and said with a smile: "I don't understand it at first glance. Let me explain it to you in detail."
Da Qiao even blinked his eyes, looking incomprehensible.
Lu Xuan explained: "Zhuge Rong's brother Zhuge Jin is the chief reporter around me. Zhuge Rong's brother Zhuge Liang is the leader of the first batch of scholars in the Five Classics Hall. I arranged to build Nanjing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Wu. Zhuge Liang Rong's uncle Zhuge Xuan is the Minister of Rites. The Zhuge family will have considerable influence in the future."
Da Qiao felt a little nervous.
Da Qiao is Lu Xuan's official concubine. However, there are no powerful people in the Qiao family, so Da Qiao has no help in the Kingdom of Wu.
The Zhuge family is so powerful, Da Qiao is naturally worried.
Lu Xuan grabbed Da Qiao's hand and patted it gently: "Relax, there is another relationship I want to mention. Zhuge Liang is Zheng Xuan's disciple, and Yu'er is also Zheng Xuan's disciple. In terms of seniority, Zhuge Liang is Yu'er's senior brother."
"Now that I have married into the Zhuge family, the relationship between Yuer and Zhuge Liang will become closer. Do you understand? So, you have to get closer and handle the relationship with Zhuge Rong."
Da Qiao immediately understood after hearing this.
The relationship between Lu Yu and Zhuge Liang is the bond between the two parties. As long as this relationship is maintained well, the Zhuge family may become Lu Yu's help.
Da Qiao looked at Lu Xuan, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, and said, "My husband has worked so hard, and I can't thank you enough."
Lu Xuan had a smile on his face.
With Da Qiao's acceptance, Zhuge Rong naturally had no obstacles when entering the backyard.
In this way, there will be harmony in the family.
Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "Yu'er is my eldest son and the designated heir to the Kingdom of Wu. If I don't think about him, who should I think about?"
Da Qiao looked at Lu Xuan in front of him, his eyes suddenly became as charming as silk, and his eyes became watery again.
"Husband..."
A delicate voice came from Da Qiao's mouth.
Her slender hands fell on Lu Xuan's chest, stroking it gently.
Lu Xuan became a little distracted for a moment. What's more, after chatting with Da Qiao for such a long time, the sage's time has almost passed. Looking at Da Qiao's appearance, Lu Xuan picked up Da Qiao and walked towards the bed again, preparing for in-depth communication. .
