A few days later, four ladies, Guo, Li, Zhong and Zhe, were summoned to Baoci Palace by Empress Dowager Xing.

There is no need to say much about the origin of Guo’s family. The Zong family and the Zhe family are also very simple and clear. One is a descendant of the Zhong family and the other is a descendant of the Zhe family.

Although the ancestors of the Zhe family were Dangxiang people, the Zhe family had already become Chinese in two hundred years.

After Zhao Guan's election, the court could include the Zhe family's daughters in it, which itself shows what it means.

The last remaining Li family is Li Ruoshui's daughter and Li Ruoxu's niece. Whether it is family status or herself, Li family is definitely not inferior to Guo family.

Two literary and two martial artists, four ladies from a great family entered Baoci Palace. The still calm interior of the palace seemed to be in no way. But in essence, it was already dark under the calm water.

Now, when the emperor was chosen, at this stage, the empress dowager suddenly summoned four beautiful ladies. What was the signal sent to outsiders? I wonder how many people judged immediately that the queen must be among these four ladies, and the shock was imaginable.

The four girls were naturally overjoyed.

It is a great joy for them to break through the siege of a kind of person.

The little emperor is handsome and in his prime. They are both in the same age and just match them.

Isn’t the reason why these daughters from wealthy families come to be show off because they are for the little emperor?

But there are not only four people with family status and faces like them. At this moment, the Empress Dowager invited her, so the four girls naturally knew it.

The four of them were all in a hurry to wash and dress up. Although they were all wearing the same clothes, they still had to dress up carefully in the subtleties.

When the time came, the four of them went to Baoci Palace together.

Perhaps looking at the people around me, they were already stinging villains in their hearts. But on the face, the four of them were all kind and treated with each other, and there was no shortage of rules and etiquette.

There is only one queen, and only one of the four can stand out. Even the favored concubine in the harem is no less than the queen of the main palace, just like Concubine Pan when the late emperor was there.

But if he could be a legitimate wife, who would be a concubine?

The four of them are all women who are as beautiful as flowers and have a good family background and are always competing with each other.

And now, joy suddenly comes, which will only amplify their "competition" with each other.

When the four of them arrived outside Baoci Palace, they did not dare to be unruly at all.

Not to mention that the Empress Dowager may be their mother-in-law in the future. As for the Empress Dowager's unique status in the Song Dynasty, they dare not be unruly.

After all, the emperor is "all the wife is allowed", but I only have one.

Therefore, the four women were cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes.

The eunuch at the door smiled and asked them to come in.

The Song Imperial City is not large in size. When you enter the gate of Baoci Palace, you will see the main hall Baoci Palace.

A noble-dressed aunt in front of the hall smiled and saluted: "I'll give you a greeting to the girls."

"My daughter dare not."

This is the female official in front of the empress dowager, and the four girls hurriedly replied.

Everyone knows that it is almost trembling when they bow to ninety-nine times, and no one wants to fall on the threshold of victory. Even if they enter the palace, they are at least a concubine, and their status is far better than that of the aunt in front of them.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a faint fragrance, not strong, like the fragrance of plum, with some refreshing smell.

The four women didn't dare to look up, and saluted in a proper manner, and stood up and lowered their heads.

"Everyone raises his head and sits."

Empress Dowager Xing was a ruler when she was young, and Zhao Gou died of illness became even more old-fashioned. Although in this era, a woman in her forties could also call herself "old woman".

But in fact, as the most noble woman in the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xing was the most top treatment in the world, whether it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, or asking for medical treatment. The Song Dynasty and her son also didn't need her to worry about it, and people were well maintained.

But I was angry and felt so sad. In addition, I was wearing multiple colors, which made me feel even more old-fashioned. This appearance made me look like an old woman.

Older people generally have two completely different attitudes towards young people: love or anger.

Empress Dowager Xing doesn't like "young" very much, and in this regard she is completely opposite to Concubine Pan next door. The latter likes luxury and beauty when she was young, and now it is the same. Even the palace maids who serve around her are pretty in color. But in Baoci Palace, even the young palace maids who have just entered the palace are all wearing heavy-colored clothes, as if they have grown up ten years old all night.

A few people thanked me quickly, but they still didn't dare to look up when they got up, but just sat down with the guidance of the palace maids.

Empress Dowager Xing's eyes flashed across the faces of the four girls. She seemed to be looking at them, but in fact she was thinking about what her son said to her.

Among the women who were sent to the palace by noble families, the Guo family, the Li family, the Zhong family, and the Zhe family, they were even more unavailable.

Is it easy to avoid the important things? Among these eight ladies, there is the Princess Qi.

The ladies of the country who are of the right age want to be good-looking have chosen so many of them, not all of them are for Zhao Guan. The King of Qi, who is the same age as him, is going to get married.

Therefore, without anyone's reminder, Zhao Guan immediately hugged Zhong and Zhe.

This kind of family and the Zhe family are not as famous as Han Yueyao and others in the Song army, but it does not mean that they can be allowed to marry overseas vassal kings.

Then there are the Guo and Li families, which are of great weight in the court.

It’s not that the other families have no weight at all, but that the weight is relatively light.

For example, the Han family girl.

Which Han family?

Han family in Xiangzhou and Han Qi's many granddaughters.

Zhao Gou's original series of policies made the Han family very difficult, but Han Xiaozhou, the head of the Han family at that time, was a tactful person. He knew that his arm could not be twisted, so he made a quick decision to put his knee on his knees.

Although the power and wealthy left the Han family, it also asked the Han family to escape the knife. Zhao Gou also needed to leave a tolerance for the Han family, asking the Han family's children to hang out in the court with a few dispersed positions.

This left Han's decency and also gave Han a chance to return to the political stage.

By the late Zhao Gou period, some of the Han family's younger generation had already entered the officialdom through scientific research, and Han Cheng and Han Hao, who were left high in the court, were also actively transforming.

Han Cheng is the son of Han Jiayan, and is also a grandson outside of Shenzong. To some extent, he is Zhao Gou's cousin. Is Zhao Gou the grandson of Shenzong?

Han Hao is Han Zhongyan's fifth son, and he is Han Xiaozhou's uncle in terms of etiquette, but the age difference between the two is not a few years.

Zhao Gou was able to be proud of him because Han Hao was actively preparing for war in Weizhou when the Jin soldiers headed south and had a firm attitude towards anti-Jin.

Therefore, compared with Han Cheng, Han Hao was able to seek jobs in the late Zhao Gou and went out of the Western Regions and entered politics again. This seemed natural.

Even if it is rewarding the Han family’s knowledge over the years, Zhao Gou will not stop Han Hao, right?

Now that six years have passed, more Han family members have entered the officialdom. Of course, the strength and influence of the Han family cannot be said to have recovered as before. However, relying on its own old influence, it is not difficult to become a banner for the old bureaucratic family in the court.

Compared with the Han family, Guo family and Li family, it is obvious that the former is not as good as the latter.
