Zhao Huan is actually quite worried.

The mess in the court is very annoying, and it is actually very annoying to lead troops to smash people's fields in three days, but Empress Dowager Meng and her old man don't feel annoyed by Zhao Huan, and now she is still thinking about giving Zhao Huan a concubine.

That's right, it's a concubine, and Empress Dowager Meng has a lot of reasons for her old man: after all, it is the new emperor who ascends the throne, and she should have granted amnesty to the world, and at the same time, she will draft a wide range of draft girls to enrich the harem.

The amnesty was indeed pardoned before, but soon after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was besieged by Wanyan Zongwang with troops, and then Zhao Huan has been leading troops to fight, so the matter of the Guangxuan girl has been pulled down, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity that Zhao Huan is in Beijing now, and quickly do it.

And the Empress Dowager Meng did not allow Zhao Huan to refuse, as long as Zhao Huan had the intention of refusing, the Empress Dowager Meng wiped her tears, and while wiping her tears, she said that she was sorry for the ancestors of the Zhao family, and it was okay if she failed to give birth to a son, and now Zhao Huan, who is like a son, is still unfilial, and he doesn't even listen to him as a concubine, and he is really alive rather than dead, etc.

Then Empress Zhu wiped her tears while persuading Empress Dowager Meng, saying that if Zhao Huan didn't accept a concubine again, she would have no way to be the queen, and once the rumors of the queen's jealousy spread, it would be better to abolish herself quickly.

The two women sang in a play, and Zhao Huan's ears buzzed non-stop, and then with a wave of his sleeves, he said that you can toss as much as you want, don't delay me to lead the troops to fight the surname Wan and the surname Li.

Then Empress Dowager Meng and Empress Zhu stopped the tear offensive together, wiped the non-existent tears with a brocade handkerchief, and then began to discuss with great interest which girl was more beautiful.

In terms of the selection of concubines in the harem, the Great Song Dynasty inherited part of the Tang Dynasty system, and the emperor first selected the concubines once a year, and most of them would choose some nobles and the daughters of civil and military officials above the ninth rank to enter the palace to close the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

These young ladies who have just entered the palace are called "beloved", and they must be reviewed by the big eunuchs in the palace for the first round, roughly looking at the appearance, figure, and defects, and it is definitely not okay to be a little worse, after all, they are going to enter the palace to wait for the emperor, if they can't even enter the eunuch's eyes, then go back as soon as possible.

After the first round of screening, the second level is to carefully check whether the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, back, etc. are symmetrical, listen to whether the voices of these young ladies are pleasant and beautiful, use a measuring device to measure the body shape of the beauties, and let each person walk dozens of steps to see its richness and bearing.

Later, the old palace lady in the palace will conduct a third round of review of these young ladies in the secret room, and the content of the review includes probing their breasts, both to see their size and shape, to see if they are suitable for breastfeeding, and then to sniff their armpits, to see if there is a fox smell, so as not to smoke the emperor when hey, hey, hey, and then touch whether the skin is smooth and delicate, and don't have spots and hemorrhoids. The most important thing is to check whether it is original, and never open it unless the emperor gets it back himself.

Those who can make it to the third round are already the best of these young ladies, but these young ladies who are still lucky enough to stay will be taken to the Yeting Palace for the fourth round of selection:

The fourth round of selection is a bit special, because there are no eunuchs and no old palace ladies to select this level, but let these young ladies choose the exam they want to be able to add after a month-long court etiquette training: ...... The official jade plate (registration), you can choose "appearance selection" and "talent selection".

Those who pass the selection will be named "beauty", and those who pass the selection will be named "talent". After becoming a talent, you can move to the East Garden of Yeting Palace, and after becoming a beauty, you can move to the West Garden of Yeting Palace.

You think that's the end of it?

But no.

After passing the last round of selection, these young ladies still have to learn the theory of the art in the room without practice, and then quietly wait for the emperor's luck, some people may have an empty theory all their lives but can't get the emperor's luck.

……

The news that the official family was going to choose a concubine soon spread outside the palace, and then the people of the entire Bianjing City became excited-

In the past, the official concubines of the Great Song Dynasty were basically not selected from the people, just like the previous art emperor Zhao Jixiang, who would rather go to the alum tower twice in three days to patronize Master Li than draft girls in the people.

Of course, even if Zhao Jixiang is willing to draft a girl in the people, whether the people are willing to send their daughters to the palace is another matter, after all, no matter how Zhao Jixiang is the emperor, then he is also a bad old man, and it tastes very bad when he thinks about it.

But today's bureaucracy is different.

Today's official family is only twenty-six years old now, it is the prime of life, and it is extremely handsome, most of the people in the entire Bianjing City have seen it, and they have led troops to pursue the Jin soldiers many times, and have kept the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

Tall, handsome, rich in the world, I heard that he is also very literate, he once said that the ministers were speechless in the court, so he can be civil and martial and rich in the world, and he is not like the emperor Zhao Jixiang who is full of scandals, almost all the daughters' fantasies about their future husbands, where to find such a perfect son-in-law?

Okay this time, today's officials don't know what crazy they are smoking, in addition to choosing concubines in the homes of the nobles and officials, they also have to draft girls in the civil election, although the most outstanding winner is only three places, but isn't this also an opportunity!

The people of Bianjing, who were the first to get the news, suddenly fell into a carnival, and many people who had unmarried daughters of appropriate age were so happy that they couldn't see their eyes every day, and they were looking forward to the palace attendants to start the first stage of selection quickly, while more people secretly hated that they didn't have daughters!

is like Wang Yu, who was left behind in Taiyuan, at this time, he was going around in circles in the left-behind mansion, and while turning around, he complained to Zhang Xiaochun: "Why do you think I couldn't give birth to a daughter?" Seeing that the official family is going to draft a big draft girl, I don't have a daughter, it's a loss! It's a big loss! ”

Zhang Xiaochun was dizzy by Wang Yu, and when he heard Wang Yu's shameless statement that if he didn't have a daughter, he glared at Wang Yu angrily, and sneered at each other: "It's a shame that you don't have a daughter!" You don't look at what you look like! ”

"What's wrong with me!"

Wang Yu snorted angrily and said: "I think back then, my old king was also a famous handsome young man in ten miles and eight towns!" ”

With a roll of his eyes, Wang Yu continued: "By the way, I don't care if I don't have a girl, but we in Taiyuan, we have to choose a suitable show girl to send to the palace." ”

Zhang Xiaochun was suddenly a little confused, stared at Wang Yu curiously, and said, "Why? ”
