My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 53 Blind Date Stage
"My Lady, as long as you can give birth to a prince, no one in this palace will be able to surpass you."
"As the saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old man. Your Majesty has not had many children to begin with. If your baby is a prince, it should be your youngest son. In the future, based on this child, you might even be crowned as the queen."
The Countess's words were full of greed, and Concubine Shu's heart was pounding when she heard it.
When the emperor said this baby was a prince, was that a hint? Otherwise, why did the emperor insist on saying it was a prince when the imperial physicians couldn't confirm the gender?
"My Lady, is your pregnancy confirmed?"
Concubine Shu nodded uncertainly.
"Your Majesty always says he's a prince, so he must be a prince, right?"
"Didn't the imperial physician say whether it was a prince or a princess?"
Concubine Shu shook her head.
"The imperial physician said that my pulse is not strong at the moment."
"Does your Majesty usually like sour or spicy food?"
“I like both sour and spicy.”
The Countess asked Concubine Shu a lot of questions, but in the end she couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out a wax-sealed pill from her purse and said in a low voice.
"My Lady, this is the reincarnation pill I begged from a master. Once you take it, you will definitely be able to have a boy."
"If it's a girl, eating it will turn it into a boy. If it's a boy, eating it will strengthen his body and prevent him from getting sick."
Concubine Shu took the pill in surprise and confirmed it with her mother excitedly.
"Is it really so magical?"
"It's absolutely true. This expert has helped many wealthy ladies give birth to legitimate sons. This is all thanks to Your Majesty. If it weren't for your family inheriting the title, this expert would not have refused to receive me. She said that this pill is only for royal relatives and officials of the second rank and above will not receive it."
When Concubine Shu heard this expert being so arrogant, she had already hoped it was true, and now she believed it even more.
"Divide the pill into nine portions. Dissolve one portion in water and take it every other day."
It is not known what will happen to Concubine Shu in the future, but the preliminary selection of the concubines was completed in just one day.
There were about one hundred people who met the royal requirements, and about two hundred people who did not.
In addition to those who have their own arrangements at home, they can return home directly. If you don’t have any arrangements, you can sign up for the blind date stage three days later.
Because it was the first time that rejected girls were allowed to marry, few of the 200 rejected girls had a place to stay. Almost all of them chose to apply.
There are so many people and their identities are so mixed that it is not convenient to hold the blind date in the palace, so the stage for this blind date was chosen to be on the stage in the Princess's Mansion.
In addition to the unsuccessful contestants who are the female guests for blind dates, there are also unmarried male guests in Beijing.
These male guests include both civil officials and military generals. Some are descendants of wealthy ancestors who are now in decline, while others have achieved their current success through their own abilities.
They all have one basic requirement, that is, they are unmarried.
After all, the female guests are all good girls picked from thousands of local people. Even if they cannot marry into the royal family, they cannot be married off to anyone casually, let alone become concubines.
The rules of the blind date are that the male guests go on stage one by one, and the female guests below the stage first score them based on their appearance.
Each female guest will wear a gauze hat and lift the curtain when satisfied. Then the next round of male guests will introduce themselves in full and answer questions from the five judges.
After the five questions are completed, the girl who is still holding up the curtain can raise her introduction card to get to know each other.
In the end, the male guest holds hands with the female guest of his choice, and they can register for the marriage certificate on the spot and prepare for the wedding.
Bai Ningwei's designs were almost completely copied from a blind date variety show in the world before she traveled through time.
For modern people, it's a variety show that's more entertaining than practical. But in ancient times, compared to blind marriages arranged by parents and matchmakers, it was a valuable way to communicate before marriage.
Bai Ningwei truly gave these unsuccessful beauties a chance to find happiness.
Although she could not leave the palace, the five judges arranged for her were also carefully selected.
The eldest princess was the chief judge, and the other four were the Hanlin couple, whose family rules forbade concubines, and the harmonious and upright Cui couple.
On the day of the blind date, many people came to watch. It must be that the eldest princess's garden was large enough and she had enough staff to accommodate so many people.
After everyone was seated, the first male guest came on stage. Of the two hundred girls in the audience, only a dozen were brave enough to lift the veil from their bamboo hats.
The girl under the gauze also wears a veil, which not only protects her reputation but also adds a sense of mystery.
The man who came on stage was a young man with a scholarly appearance. He didn't expect that only a dozen people favored him, and he felt a little disappointed.
But he quickly adjusted himself and introduced himself.
"My name is Liu Yu. My ancestral home is ***, and I was born in ***. My parents are still alive. I am a seventh-rank official with a small fortune."
After listening to his introduction, the eldest princess began to ask questions.
"You are now twenty-one, why haven't you married yet?"
"Before, I was a white body, which delayed it."
The Hanlin couple then asked questions.
"Besides your parents, are there any other brothers and sisters at home?"
"I only have one sister, she's twelve years old."
"If you marry a girl, will you love, protect and respect her?"
"You should entrust the household affairs to others and treat each other with respect like guests."
After the Hanlin couple finished asking questions, the Qingliu Cui couple came next.
"Are your parents in good health?"
"Father has a cough, but mother is healthy."
"Do you have any hobbies?"
"I am not very talented, but I like painting."
After the five questions, only five girls were left without taking off their tulle.
The five girls held up their introduction signs and said nothing, allowing Liu Yu to choose her true love.
Liu Yu finally chose the girl with beautiful handwriting.
The girl could ask Liu Yu three more questions. Liu Yu's answers moved the girl to tears. Not only was she his soulmate, he was also her soulmate.
Finally, the girl walked onto the stage, lifted her veil, and stunned Liu Yu. The two successfully held hands. The prefect was in the audience. With everyone's witnesses and congratulations, the two signed a bright red marriage certificate and entered it into the marriage register, becoming a husband and wife recognized by the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors.
Now all Liu Yu has to do is go home and prepare for the wedding so that he can really bring the bride home.
The blind dates continued, and this lively event lasted for seven days.
Except for a few girls who did not find their true marriage partners, the others were taken home in wedding sedan chairs with music and dance during these seven days.
As for the girls who haven't found their match, they don't have to worry. The major families have their own relatives to help arrange marriages in the future. Although these girls' marriages may not be as intimate as those on the big stage of blind dates, they are still much better than returning home to remain chaste for the rest of their lives.
Kyoto was bustling with activity for nearly two months because of this matchmaking event. There were wedding processions, candy distribution, and even coins being thrown around.
Even the little beggars benefited from this and their food improved a lot.
Unfortunately, Bai Ningwei could only hear about these lively events from other people's mouths and could not see them with her own eyes.
It was so depressing. The emperor had been watching the excitement for half a day out of curiosity, but she, the planner, could only be trapped within these square palace walls.
