Yue Qingqian is in accordance with the rules of the Western Qin State for the selection of concubines in the past dynasties, that is, the latter one, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven women, and eighty-one women. A total of one hundred and twenty-one people will be elected to the harem.

Of course, she is now the queen, and she has to choose another hundred and twenty people.

This time, a total of more than 300 beauties were selected in the homes of civil and court officials, and after the physical examination of entering the palace and the first round of screening just now, there are still more than 200 left. I believe that another round of screening will be almost enough, but Yue Qingqian wants to let those young ladies of the family go to bed first.

After all, Qin Moxuan seems to have been abstinent for too long, which is really cruel to a high-spirited man. Yue Qingqian thought about it and felt that this was still feasible, anyway, the status of the women in these officials' families would definitely not be low when they were sealed.

Yue Qingqian already had a plan in her heart, so she went back to the palace to study what position was more suitable for those young ladies of the family.

Qin Moxuan hasn't seen Yue Qingqian for several days recently, of course, on the one hand, he is busy with official business, and on the other hand, he hasn't gone to his palace to discuss things because Yue Qingqian.

He rarely asked Zhang Quansheng, the chief chamberlain beside him, "What has the queen been busy with these days?" ”

Zhang Quansheng knew in his heart and said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang has been busy choosing a concubine for you these days, and today seems to be the first round of screening." ”

Qin Moxuan remembered the plan she showed him last time, couldn't help but nodded, and asked again, "Then when is this second round of screening?" ”

Zhang Quansheng replied: "It should be tomorrow." ”

Qin Moxuan didn't say anything after he knew about it, and began to deal with official business again.

On the second day, Yue Qingqian went to Xiangyu Hall again to conduct the second round of assessment for these remaining women.

This time it's a talent assessment, and the grouping is not quite the same as before. In order to facilitate the assessment, Yue Qingqian put the women who competed for the same talent together, so that the courtiers' families were almost put together.

And those talents from the folk are more varied, so Yue Qingqian simply divided them into groups of six and assessed them later.

Now she has to assess these young ladies of the family, which are basically divided into piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is also convenient. Yue Qingqian divided all the musical instruments into a group to make it easier for her to listen.

Yesterday's first round of screening was in the side hall, and today because of the need to place various musical instruments and the like, the site of the side hall is not large enough, so the main hall was chosen.

Yue Qingqian knelt on the top, and the first thing to compare was the musical instrument.

Yue Qingqian looked at the people below, and said lightly: "Mountains and rivers should be all right, right?" ”

"Yes." The crowd answered.

"Then you can play this song together, and you can begin." Yue Qingqian took a leisurely sip of tea and waited for their performance.

When the young lady of the family who wanted to show various musical instruments heard about it, she was very dissatisfied.

They thought they were all playing one by one, but now they were all playing together, which made them extremely unhappy.

Because they feel that everyone plays together like this, they can't hear who is good and who is bad, and it is convenient for people to make up for it.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, but they didn't move.

Yue Qingqian naturally knew why they didn't start playing, but she just said lightly: "But what questions do you have?" ”

One of the women, who looked very bright and moving, said indignantly: "Why don't you play separately, how can you distinguish the advantages and disadvantages when you play together?" ”

"yes, yes, it's not good to distinguish between good and bad." Others should be in harmony.

Yue Qingqian put down the teacup in her hand and glanced at her lightly, this person was Li Yanran, the granddaughter of Dazai Wang Qingtian. is very flamboyant and moving, such a woman can be a favorite concubine.

It's a pity that her personality and the family forces behind her prove that she can't be this favorite concubine. She had heard that Li Yanran's temperament was a little arrogant and domineering, but as for the extent to which she had not seen it.

I don't know if I have this honor today, Yue Qingqian hooked her lips.

"How do you know that this palace can't tell the good from the bad?" Yue Qing's tone was still very light, but there was an aura around her that belonged to a queen, which made people dare not look at her directly.

However, it was only a moment before everyone returned to normal.

Li Yanran felt that Yue Qingqian probably hadn't learned a musical instrument, so she smiled sarcastically and said: "I'm afraid the queen doesn't know very well, this music performance is the most taboo to fill the number." If you play in a group, I am afraid that the mother will not be able to distinguish the person who is indiscriminate, and the real talent will be buried. ”

She said this tactfully, but she still secretly sarcastically said that Yue Qingqian didn't understand musical instruments.

Yue Qing smiled lightly, this Li Yanran is still a little smart.

The atmosphere in the main hall was a little weird for a while, and Yue Qing said lightly: "How do you know that this palace can't distinguish the good from the bad?" ”

Yue Qingqian was almost four or two pounds, and still asked her the question just now.

Li Yanran felt a little disdainful in her heart, but she still asked tentatively: "Does Niangniang have a sound rhythm?" ”

When she asked this, Yue Qingqian had almost guessed what she wanted to do, and still said in a very light tone: "I know a little bit about it." ”

"Niangniang is modest, since Niangniang can hear the advantages and disadvantages from the collective performance, then Niangniang herself should also be a person who is extremely good at music. I don't know if we can have the honor to hear Niangniang's performance with my own ears? Li Yanran was quite proud of what she said.

Yue Qing's face was still faint, but she smiled sarcastically in her heart, this Li Yanran had never laid a solid foundation in the palace, and she was so arrogant. Sure enough, she still underestimated the big backer of Dazai Wang Qingtian behind Li Yanran.

But it doesn't matter, since she wants to challenge her queen's authority, she doesn't mind using Li Yanran to establish her authority.

"Naturally, you don't have this honor, why, you don't want to be assessed, do you? Or do you want to just give up the opportunity to another woman? The moon was still faint, but there was a bit of majesty added to the words.

"I can't wait." Everyone hurriedly said. They entered the palace with the mission of the family, how dare they lose the election easily.

However, just because they know each other like this doesn't mean that Li Yanran will also know each other.

She sarcastically said: "The queen doesn't know the rhythm at all, right?" ”

Yue Qingqian really felt that Li Yanran's courage was commendable, and she just wanted to have a seizure, so that people could punish her well.

"Your Majesty has arrived~" The signature voice of Zhang Quansheng, the head of the chamberlain, came from outside.

Yue Qingqian was a little strange about Qin Moxuan's arrival, but he didn't dare to slack off, and got up and took everyone out to greet him.

Everyone who was selected was very surprised, and they all heard that their monarch was very good-looking, handsome, and peerless, and they finally had the opportunity to see it today. They actually began to tidy up their manners, wanting their majesty to see their best side.
