In the Great Liao Khitan, the marriage customs are very unique. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The legend of "green ox and white horse" in Liao history not only records the earliest origin of the Khitan nation, but also reflects the initial marriage habits of this people.

The blood group with the "green ox" as the totem is labeled as the Yelu clan;

The kinship group with the "white horse" as the totem is labeled as the Shaw clan.

After a long period of social changes, the Khitan people still follow the characteristics of mutual marriage between the two surnames, the uncle can marry his niece, and the granddaughter dares to marry his grandfather.

After the emperor of the Liao Dynasty married, especially the original wife, he could only choose within the scope of the Xiao family.

In the period of Liaosheng, Xing and Taoism, this situation reached its peak, because the empresses of these three emperors were all from the family of Xiao Taogui, the father of Shu Luping, so there was a saying of "one door and three queens".

The Xiao family has a girl who has just grown up and married Yelu to be the queen.

Participating in the draft is the fate or responsibility and obligation of every girl of the Xiao family, every three years, after layers of selection, the unmarried women with both talent and appearance are selected into the palace to enrich the backyard.

This year's draft of the Great Liao Khitan Emperor is the same as in previous years, all of them are women from the Xiao family, some of them are still familiar with each other, or they were even originally from the same family.

The sky above my head is so blue, it's the blue of sapphire, natural, with a few thin, vague cotton.

For a while, in front of the huge palace gate, there were flowers and piles of fat powder, but not all of them were green, fat, red and thin, and the handsome appearance of a tender face and a moth.

Even, some girls know that they can't choose, just to join in the fun, or feel fun, just take such a grand event as a rare game to open their eyes.

Of course, more of them came with the heart of imperativeness, such as this girl named Xiao Bodhisattva, because she fell in love with the current little emperor, she was so eager that she didn't sleep for a few days and nights.

"Brother Bodhisattva, you're here too!"

A delicate whisper sounded softly behind him, very nice and familiar.

"Ah, it's you! What, are you coming to the draft too? ”

Brother Bodhisattva turned around when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but want to laugh, is she also here for the draft? How could it be! It's ridiculous! She deserves it too?!

Standing behind her was an ugly girl, with a jade-like figure and a dark face, which made the originally extremely iconic facial features show a bit of hideous taste.

"Ah, yes, I followed my father and brothers to Beijing to run errands, and by the way, I joined in the fun."

The ugly girl didn't mind the strange stares that shot from all around, she said very calmly, and grinned big, with snow-white jade teeth and a small cherry mouth.

"Alas, it's a pity, if this face can be better, she must be the Oiran of this year's draft, maybe the future queen will be her, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

In the crowd, in addition to the strange eyes, there were many men and women who expressed regret.

Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty it is, the so-called "draft" is the same, judging people by their appearance.

The Da Liao draft is no exception, after a so-so preliminary trial similar to a political trial, the qualified Xiao daughters will be divided into groups of two, led by the grandmother into the palace to be selected, and the rest are waiting outside the palace.

The way to choose is also very simple, enter the palace, kowtow to the queen mother and the prime minister sitting on it, and then stand and listen to the instructions, the queen mother and the big zai will ask a few words relative to the more favorite candidates, and those who don't like it will not ask, thank you and go out of the palace.

Today's Queen Mother is Xiao Xuan.

Today's prime minister is Han Derang.

The relationship between these two has already been introduced, so I won't go into too much detail here.

Today's emperor is still young, and he has not yet been called in the dynasty, and this draft is of great significance, not only to select concubines to enrich the harem, but also to find the best candidate for the new queen of Daliao.

The show girls to be selected are in a team of two, and they enter in one after another, some of them come out soon, and some of them will be late, and they will leave in a hurry, and those who are later will smile and smile, and they will deliberately stay outside the palace gate for a while, and the display is overflowing.

Among them, the most laid-back is the ugly girl, who is arranged at the back of the line, looking around.

She found that Brother Xiao Bodhisattva hadn't come out since he went in, and it looked like he was eight or nine.
