In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Su Yueyao suddenly looked at Yang Qianxun with a headache. Oh my God, who come to save her?

"Qianqian, shouldn't we remove some of the ugly ones first?"

"Ayao Matchmaker has already removed the unsuitable ones according to your request. These are all good-looking ones, some are pretty, some are handsome, some have good features, some are cool, and some are petite and lovely."

"Look at Ayao, this young master of the Chen family has more handsome features."

"And this young master from the Xin family is a bit more delicate and pretty. Ahem. I heard that women this year particularly like this type. Ayao can meet him."

"..."

Are there so many styles? She seemed to have only seen the same style in the picture albums.

Su Yueyao didn't finish reading until lunch, and she slumped over the table in dejection.

The matchmakers all went downstairs to eat, but Su Yueyao was still motionless. All she had in her mind were portraits, and she couldn't remember any of them.

She now felt that the selection of concubines by ancient kings was just like this. No wonder the emperor who was selecting concubines looked so impatient. Perhaps they thought that these women were all the same, and they couldn't even remember what they looked like after seeing them so many times.

She even felt a little regretful. Why did she agree to Yang Qian's search for a concubine? She could actually meet him slowly.

She didn't know that what happened next time she met these men would make her even more devastated.

Yang Qianxun served Su Yueyao at lunch, and she was so upset that she couldn't even eat.

"Qianqian, please don't..."

"Ayao, you promised me that we would choose one. If you decide you don't like it after seeing it, I won't force you, okay?" Yang Qianxun said pitifully.

Su Yueyao sighed when she heard this and continued to eat resignedly. She wanted to turn her grief into appetite.

"Qianqian, I want to eat shrimp."

Yang Qianxun felt relieved when he saw Su Yueyao returning to normal.

He was really afraid that A Yao would refuse directly.

Fortunately, A Yao was soft-hearted. Before the candidate for the concubine was decided, he really couldn't be sure what would happen next.

Yang Qianxun silently peeled shrimps for Su Yueyao.

Su Yueyao looked at Yang Qianxun's slender white fingers, and his movements of peeling shrimp were particularly elegant. She felt that he was not peeling a shrimp but a precious work of art.

Every subtle movement was full of delicacy and concentration, as if he was carving a unique treasure.

His fingertips danced gently, and the shrimp meat bloomed from the shell like petals, so tender and juicy that it made people salivate.

As the shrimp meat was peeled off completely, Yang Qianxun gently placed them on the plate in front of Su Yueyao.

The shrimp meat in the plate looked like crystal clear pearls, exuding an enticing aroma.

Su Yueyao's eyes were drawn to it involuntarily, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that this was not just a meal, but also Yang Qianxun's thoughtful and considerate thought for her.

At this moment, Su Yueyao felt an unprecedented happiness and satisfaction, so she was willing to listen to him and satisfy him, not wanting to make him frown because of her.

Otherwise, she might really want to turn against him! She herself is not good at socializing, and she has no plan to marry many men. She wants to marry the one she likes and who can meet the requirements of the court. But looking at Yang Qianxun's attitude today, she feels that he is going to choose more than a dozen for her...

After lunch, Su Yueyao continued to look through the picture albums. She didn't finish until the sun set. Most of the pictures were selected by Yang Qianxun.

Looking at the more than 30 people selected, she felt a little headache because she wondered if she would be allowed to meet all of them!

After a day of hardship, Su Yueyao had no desire to turn her grief and anger into appetite when she had dinner at night. She only knew that these people would crush her to death. She was a little scared. She could slowly accept being hugged by people on both sides, provided that they were familiar with each other! They wouldn't let her marry them right away!

"Ayao, you won't be allowed to see these people every day. Some gentlemen will even check their private conduct. It's enough for Ayao to meet a few of them every day." Yang Qianxun said as he picked up some food for Su Yueyao.

Looking at the lifeless Su Yueyao, Yang Qianxun didn't want to force her like this for a moment, but he was really worried about what would happen next and what to do.

"Qianqian is worried that if the painting that Mr. Pei brought is liked by His Majesty, some young master from a noble family in Fengdu will interfere in the selection of my concubine later, which is why he is so anxious?" Su Yueyao decided to take the initiative and asked.

"Yes, Ayao. Although the officials in the court are all hereditary from aristocratic families, and some of them come from the Academy of Literature, it is rare for common people and poor children to serve as officials. However, if your majesty intervenes, talented people from poor families can be admitted to the Academy of Literature as an exception."

"Like Master Zhou, he was born in a poor family, but in the end he did not enter the court. Do you know why, Ayao?"

"Because he married a noble lady of the Xiao family at that time, the noble families would not allow common people to appear in the court. So, Ayao, you are a woman. If His Majesty really appreciates you, then it is inevitable that you will enter the Academy of Literature. Although it is under the jurisdiction of His Majesty, the students there are all descendants of noble families."

"So even if I am a famous talent in Fengdu, I cannot enter the Literary Hall."

"If A Yao enters the Academy of Literature, the noble families in Fengdu will try their best to arrange for their sons to enter your backyard. My reputation in Fengdu is ruined now and I'm a bastard. By then, someone might want to replace me." Yang Qianxun said worriedly.

"So the candidate for the concubine that Qianqian asked me to choose now can at least guarantee that those in Yi County will not be in cahoots with Fengdu and his men, and the chance that they will not harm me in the future is very low, right?" Su Yueyao asked.

"I don't know. The scheming and strategies of the young masters of the Ayao family, as well as their lives since childhood, are different from those of the young masters here. So among the young masters in Yi County, you can at least find one who is sincere to you." Yang Qianxun said.

"Qianqian, I can only tell you that no matter what happens in the future, your position as Lord cannot be changed by anyone. The court currently protects women. As long as I don't break the law, can they still force me to marry them?"

"Ayao, do you know that there was a girl from a poor family who entered the House of Literature before, and she did not follow the same stream as the wealthy families? Do you know what happened to that girl in the end?" Yang Qianxun said with a sigh.

"She wouldn't be forced to death, would she?"

"No, but she was sent to the women's building, where she could only give birth to children for the rest of her life. I heard that when she was sent in, she was already somewhat mentally retarded."

Su Yueyao gasped when she heard this and her eyes almost went black.

"Qianqian, if you had told me her fate earlier, I wouldn't have painted her. We are doing well in Yi County. There is no need to go to Fengdu, that powerful place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. I don't deserve to go there." Su Yueyao said with a hint of excitement.

"Ah Yao, why don't you ask what means they used to force that woman to this point?"

"I don't want to know. I think too simply. Qianqian, I have decided that we will not go to Fengdu. Even if His Majesty likes that painting, we will not go." Su Yueyao said.

The ancients' thinking and palace fighting power are too powerful, it is the crystallization of wisdom, so it would be good enough for her to live honestly until she grows old.

If God gave her a system, a space, superpowers, etc., she could still try her best. For her who has nothing, it would be best if she could live a stable life.

"If His Majesty Ayao issues an order, we will not resist." Yang Qianxun said to Su Yueyao, whose face was full of resistance.

"I will carefully choose my concubine. The court requires women to marry three husbands when they turn 18, and three more when they turn 20. After that, as long as I give birth to a daughter before I turn 22, they will not force me to marry, right?"
