Chapter 1155 Pan's(2/2)
In the past, there was no telling whether this matter would pass.
Even if it can pass, how long it will take is still a question. Who will pay for it? Where will the money come from?
But what people didn't expect was that the prince, who was always known as a wise man, actually remained silent on this matter and did not speak out to object.
Just a suggestion:
"If you choose a woman among the people, it will not only be time-consuming, but also waste money and food, and it will disturb the people."
"Why don't you choose from the wives and daughters of criminal officials first? For example, there are many daughters of officials in the weaving room specially designed for weaving cloth for the palace. You can choose the best among them."
"If we can meet the palace's requirements, we won't have to choose from the people. In this case, we can also reduce the burden on the people and the court."
Upon hearing the prince's proposal, Sun Quan praised him repeatedly and said that it was rare for the prince to be sensible and compassionate towards the people.
Since the emperor and the prince have said this, everyone naturally has no reason to object.
After some time, the official office of the wives and daughters of prisoners selected a group of women and sent the list to the palace at the same time.
Among them was a woman whose surname was Pan Mingshu. She was a junior official. She was so beautiful that all the women in the weaving room called her "goddess" and kept her at a distance.
The person in charge of selecting the maids informed Sun Quan of the matter. At the same time, he selected Pan's painting from among the many portraits and presented it to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan, who was already in his prime years, stood up suddenly when he saw Pan's portrait, and pressed the amber in his hand firmly on Pan's portrait.
In the end, there was only a "snap" sound, and Amber Ruyi was broken.
Sun Quan didn't realize it, but he said with surprise and joy:
"She is indeed a goddess! I see that her sad face is so touching. How beautiful would it be if it could make her happy?"
Lu 1, who was standing by, stepped forward a little presumptuously, took a look at the portrait, and said with a smile:
"I heard that this goddess died because of her father's sitting method. She and her sister were sent to the weaving room together, so she worried about it day and night. She rarely ate, and her body was slender and soft."
The school office has the power of inspection, and they have already reviewed the details of the names of women sent to the palace in advance.
Lu Yi knew Sun Quan's interests well, so he had been prepared for it.
At this time, seeing that Sun Quan really fell in love with Pan at first sight, he naturally quickly joined in the fun:
"If she is lucky enough to be by His Majesty's side, she will be like jumping from the swamp to the clouds. I'm afraid it will be too late to rejoice. How can she be as sad as she is now?"
"Your Majesty, you can naturally see the goddess's stunning beauty every day."
Sun Quan was already pleasantly surprised, but when he heard Lu Yi's words, he felt even more happy. He quickly issued an edict and sent a carved wheel chariot to the weaving room to bring Pan into the palace.
After Pan entered the palace, he washed and bathed and was dressed up before being presented to Sun Quan.
When Sun Quan saw the real person, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
But see:
Lishu was in the prime of her life, with unparalleled beauty, low emerald hair, crimson cheeks, and perfect body and figure. The most pitiful thing was her two dark eyebrows and her shallow frown, which seemed to be filled with resentment.
When he saw her bending her waist slightly, she bowed down and said softly, "Sinful girl Pan Shu, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
When Sun Quan heard his sweet words, he felt even more charming.
"Get up!"
Sun Quan stepped forward, helped Pan up, and looked at the woman in front of him. The more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her.
The more he looked at her, the brighter his eyes became. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and love her endlessly.
Seeing this, Lu 1 led the people and retreated quietly.
When he returned to the school office, he called someone:
"Go, go to the weaving room in the palace and ask them to take more care of Pan Shu's sister in the future. Don't let her be wronged."
"But Zhongshu, the Pan family is most likely connected to the East Palace."
"How could I not know?" Lu Yi's face was gloomy, "It's just that now that things have happened, His Majesty may have fallen in love with Pan. We can only make up for it before it's too late."
After a mere prison officer, he was thrown into the weaving room, and his reputation was actually spread to His Majesty's ears. If there was no one to add fuel to the fire, Lu Yi would not believe it.
But as His Majesty's eyes and ears, the School Office is not a vegetarian.
There are various signs that this Pan family should be just a temporary idea of the East Palace.
If the East Palace can send this girl to the palace, the school affairs office may not be able to win her over.
The school office has a great say in the weaving room that is responsible for weaving. After all, the school office has a special trading channel with the Xinghan Association.
It was night, and as expected, Pan Shu did not leave the palace. I heard that she would sleep with His Majesty that night.
The news that the new man entered the palace and was extremely favored by His Majesty spread quickly.
The ministers in the court seem to be much happier than before when they see His Majesty's face when they go to court these days.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
This is good, as there is no need to go to great lengths to select women among the people.
Prince Sun Deng took the opportunity to report to the emperor:
"After serving as an official, he was still deeply favored by the emperor. Therefore, General Zhou Yu has made outstanding achievements, but his descendants were moved to the border areas without pardon. Comparing the two, I am afraid that the world will criticize your majesty for emphasizing color and despising virtue."
"I am writing to your majesty to request that Zhou Yin be pardoned for his crime, and that Bu Qu be returned and his title be restored, so as to appease the old honour."
When Sun Quan was proud of his success, and coupled with the prince's attitude towards choosing a palace maid, he finally agreed to the matter.
It is a pity that before Sun Quan's edict could be sent to Luling, the news that Zhou Yin died of illness due to acclimatization reached Jianye one step ahead.
This news made Sun Deng's eyes flash with stars, and he almost lost his breath.
I have been busy for so long, but my basket has been empty, and my work has been in vain.
Out of anxiety, he fell ill again.
Lu Yi, on the other hand, couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing the prince's memorial in the court.
In the general situation of the court, the school affairs office has no say at all.
But when it comes to understanding people's hearts, the ministers in the court are far inferior to Lu Yi and others.
In addition, in the past few days, he has already investigated everything about Pan.
"Pan received the favor of Dong Gong and was able to enter the palace. If Dong Gong can use this to make friends with her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us!"
"Who would have expected that Dong Gong would dare to say bluntly in the court that Pan was an official after serving as an official. His derogatory meaning was obvious to everyone."
