Chapter 361. Q&A (II).

……
"Zhang Zhaodi, a folk girl, has seen Lord Zhao."
When Zhang Zhaodi entered the room, although there was not too much nervousness between words and deeds, she kept her head down, and when she saluted Zhao Junchen, her voice was also low and soft, and she needed to listen carefully to hear clearly.
It's just that Zhang Zhaodi keeps hanging her head like this, but it also makes Zhao Junchen unable to see her appearance clearly.
So, Zhao Junchen said: "Raise your head and let me see your appearance." ”
After hesitating slightly, Zhang Zhaodi slowly raised her head, and her appearance was finally shown in front of Zhao Junchen.
I saw Zhang Zhaodi's delicate facial features, delicate eyebrows, long eyelashes, fair skin, and her small figure, although it is not very amazing, but it is very attractive, and it does not feel conspicuous at first glance, but it belongs to the type that is more pleasing to the eye.
In addition, between Zhang Zhaodi's temperament, there is a kind of meekness that is almost against the grain, which seems to be weak and strong, which makes people feel pity and peace of mind.
After seeing Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament, Zhao Junchen suddenly understood why Zhao Yinger and Zhang Feiyan's two daughters deliberately targeted her in the first place.
Some people say that there are two types of so-called "femininity", one is charming and seductive, and the other is weak and coquettish, the former stimulates men's possessiveness, and the latter stimulates men's desire to protect.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yinger is the former, and Zhang Zhaodi is the latter.
Originally, these two temperaments are like peonies and roses, each has its own advantages and advantages, and there is no superiority or inferiority. However, Zhang Zhaodi's weak temperament is far more impressive than Zhao Yinger's charming temperament, so when Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi are together. All the advantages of Zhao Yinger will become Zhang Zhaodi's foil, and as for Zhao Yinger's shortcomings, they are also magnified a lot because of Zhang Zhaodi's existence.
Compared with Zhang Zhaodi's pitiful and pitiful, Zhao Yinger's intelligence and shrewdness have become pungent and domineering, compared with Zhang Zhaodi's adversity, Zhao Yinger's observation of words and expressions has become scheming, compared to Zhang Zhaodi's durability and pleasing to the eye. Zhao Yinger's flaws in appearance are even more obvious.
When Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Ying'er appear together, everyone will notice Zhao Ying'er's existence first, but as time passes. Most people's eyes will gradually shift to Zhang Zhaodi, and gradually ignore Zhao Yinger.
Obviously, Zhao Yinger must have been keenly aware of this, and thought that Zhang Zhaodi was a great threat to her. That's why he deliberately targeted Zhang Zhaodi. And repeatedly humiliated.
As for Zhang Feiyan, this woman is only a little smart, but she has no great wisdom, and the reason why she followed Zhao Yinger to humiliate Zhang Zhaodi was obviously just provoked and used by Zhao Yinger.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Zhao Junchen's mind.
Just like Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, just after seeing Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament, Zhao Junchen was already very sure of the woman in front of him. Just the role you need in your plans!
Not only because Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament are very in line with the aesthetics of Emperor Deqing, but even better. After matching Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Yinger together, Zhang Zhaodi's advantages have become more and more prominent!
It is conceivable that if Zhao Yinger entered the palace as a concubine, and then Zhang Zhaodi served as Zhao Yinger's accompanying maid, then Emperor Deqing would be like everyone else, at first he would only notice Zhao Yinger's existence, but the more he went on, the more he felt that Zhang Zhaodi looked pleasing to the eye, and gradually liked Zhang Zhaodi more.
The most important thing is that with Zhao Yinger's shrewdness and intelligence as a cover, Emperor Deqing will not be too vigilant about Zhang Zhaodi, which will allow Zhao Junchen to find many opportunities to take advantage of, and Zhao Junchen's grasp of some plans has also increased a lot!
However, just in case, Zhao Junchen still decided to ask Zhang Zhaodi a few words.
So, Zhao Junchen nodded to Zhang Zhaodi and said, "Sit down, you don't have to be nervous and think about it, I just want to ask you a few questions, and by the way, I just want to know some about your situation." ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's command, Zhang Zhaodi agreed softly, and then sat down obediently.
"Your name, and your relationship with the Zhao family." Zhao Junchen began to ask.
"The folk girl Zhang Zhaodi, the folk girl's parents died early, and there is only one younger brother in the family, and the folk girl and her younger brother have been staying at her cousin's house all these years, and the cousin is a cousin of the Zhao family." Zhang Zhaodi still replied in a soft voice.
The relationship with Zhao Junchen is farther away, but this is also beneficial, and after entering the palace, it will be easier for Zhang Zhaodi to hide her origin.
Zhao Junchen continued to ask, "What do you think are your strengths?" And what are the disadvantages. ”
In the face of Zhao Junchen's straightforward inquiry, Zhang Zhaodi did not show any panic, in fact, Zhang Zhaodi did not seem to expect that she could enter the palace and become a concubine, so she didn't care about her performance, but after a moment of silence, she replied: "The adult's question, the folk girl has never thought about it, so she can't answer it." ”
Such an answer seems to be a bit chaotic, but with Zhang Zhaodi's appearance and temperament, as well as the role she will play in the future, this answer cannot be regarded as wrong.
So, Zhao Junchen asked again: "What do you think you are good at?" What are you not good at? ”
"The women of the people will serve people and do housework, but the rest will not be very good."
Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, but in an instant, he unfolded, and continued to ask: "Talk about the reason why you want to enter the palace." ”
"The maiden doesn't know the life of the palace, and she doesn't want to enter the palace, but his cousin asked the maiden to come."
Hearing such an answer, Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue to ask, but after hesitating for a while, Zhao Junchen continued to ask: "If you enter the palace, your main task is to serve Your Majesty and please Your Majesty, so what do you think you should do?" ”
Zhang Zhaodi pondered for a moment and replied: "Take care of the emperor's daily life, clothing and food, and then follow the emperor's thoughts to do things and talk, so as not to make him more upset...... If the emperor is willing to complain, then listen to him quietly...... That's all the folk girl can think of. ”
Hearing Zhang Zhaodi's answer this time, Zhao Junchen's eyes lit up.
Perhaps, this will be the best way to please Emperor Deqing! Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
Zhao Junchen intrigues in the temple and often feels tired, so Zhao Junchen knows very well that if there is a woman around him who is willing to calm down and listen to his complaints, and will never cause trouble, it will be a rare thing.
So, after Zhao Junchen nodded slightly, he thought about it again, but he didn't continue to ask the next two questions, but just said to Zhang Zhaodi: "Okay, that's all for my questions, you can leave." ”
Zhao Junchen did not evaluate whether Zhang Zhaodi's answer was good or bad, but Zhang Zhaodi didn't care about these either, but after hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, he stood up and saluted Zhao Junchen gently, and then turned around and left.
…………
When Zhao Junchen summoned and interviewed all the women of the Zhao family, thinking back on the different performances of these women of the Zhao family, he was very sure in his heart that Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi were the two candidates he needed.
These two people, if listed separately, may have their own shortcomings, but after the two are paired together, the effect will increase a lot.
So, Zhao Junchen said to Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan beside him: "It seems that the recommendation of the two of you is very correct, in comparison, Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi's two daughters are indeed the most suitable candidates." ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's speech, Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan were all happy, as Zhao Junchen's staff, their suggestions were adopted by Zhao Junchen, which is naturally a good thing.
However, Xiao Wenxuan's joy only flashed for a moment, and then he said with a cautious face: "But, my lord, have you seriously considered the relationship between Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi?" Before, Zhao Yinger repeatedly bullied Zhang Zhaodi, obviously she couldn't get used to her, if she let them enter the palace together, maybe there would be some accidents. ”
On the other side, after hearing Xiao Wenxuan's words, Su Xiqing's expression was also much more cautious, and then said: "Also, Zhang Zhaodi's relationship with you is really a little far away, and although she looks like she is going against the grain, I think her heart is quite tenacious, and she is by no means a person who can be easily controlled, is it too risky for her to play such an important role?" In addition, Zhang Zhaodi's name is also a little unelegant......"

PS: Well, the second update! Well, although the number of words has been reduced as much as possible, the plot of Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Yinger has not been written.
So, there will still be two shifts tomorrow!
