Fang Yuan bathed out, and the two palace maids took him to the Kunning Palace behind the Qianqing Palace.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but ask the little palace maid beside him, "The process of selecting a horse in the Ming Dynasty is so complicated?" Then how did the previous dynasty choose a bald man as a concubine? ”

The little palace maid looked at the 'Rong Mama' in front of her and whispered, "Princess Kunxing is the first daughter of His Majesty and the queen to marry. ”

Fang Yuan secretly thought, it seems that Chongzhen and Queen Zhou really love Kunxing's eldest daughter, and they are worried that she will marry unladylike, so they strictly regulate the process of selecting a concubine.

'Mama Rong' turned around and said, "Lord Fang, this time the selection of the concubine is the same as the selection of the concubine, there are seven processes, 3 people are selected from 5,000 people, and then the concubine Li, the queen mother, and Queen Yi'an personally select the concubine. Lord Fang is lucky, His Majesty has granted you permission to directly enter the selection of the last 3 people, and you don't need to go through other processes. ”

Concubine Li is the favorite concubine of Mingguangzong, Li Xuanzhi, the protagonist of the palace transfer case back then, Tianqi and Chongzhen were all raised by her. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, she was promoted to the imperial concubine.

Empress Yi'an is the queen of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the imperial sister-in-law of Chongzhen, and Zhang Yan, who is known as the first beautiful queen of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will not participate in the selection of horses in the strict sense, and the marriage of the princess is decided by the harem. Chongzhen was inconvenient to show up this time, but Wang Chengen, who arranged for the celebrant to be the celebrant supervisor, directly pushed Fang Yuan to the final round.

"Lucky?!"

Fang Yuan was secretly complaining, this is clearly Chongzhen chasing ducks to the shelves, how can he push this marriage? ! If you refuse directly, it will be an insult to the dignity of the royal family, not only Princess Kunxing will not be able to get over her face, but even Chongzhen will be slapped in the face.

However, according to Fang Yuan's estimation, Queen Zhou is there to choose the concubine, and she should not let Fang Yuan become this concubine, otherwise, she will really lose her daughter and lose her soldiers.

Fang Yuan's thoughts were like a tide of 'Mama Rong' to the Kunning Palace where Queen Zhou was located, and he was arranged to wait outside the palace.

Waiting with him were two other men in brocade clothes who had passed the selection.

One person wears a patterned cotton robe, with a piece of green and crystal jade hanging on his belt, and a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be amorous. Judging from the heart, from the point of view of appearance, he can be regarded as a jade tree in the wind and a man who can please women. However, this early spring is still cool, but it looks nondescript, and he is a character who pretends to be B and pretends to be an egg.

There is also a person who just looks at the outfit wearing gold and silver and jade on his body, and knows that he is a local tyrant. But Fang Yuan could see that he was frivolous, and there was a sickly look on his face covered by the pile of powder, and it was almost certain that this guy had already been hollowed out by wine on weekdays. This kind of semi-eunuch was able to pass the selection of seven procedures and enter the finals, and I don't know how much money it cost to buy off the eunuchs, palace maids, and the 'Rong Mama' who was responsible for inspecting the body bones of the horse.

The system of selecting horses in the Ming Dynasty was a rather strange system.

In order to avoid the formation of foreign relatives, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty almost did not choose from the children of high-ranking cadres, but from the people. Most of the time, the power to choose the horses was in the hands of the celebrant eunuchs.

This often makes a farce that as long as you spend a lot of money to bribe the eunuchs, you can become a concubine in the Ming Dynasty, and the celebrant eunuch in charge of the selection of concubines can also make money by 'selling' the princess.

In the horses elected by the Ming Dynasty, there were bald people who passed the test; If a sick son marries a princess and goes home to rejoice, the princess becomes a widow when she passes the door; There was even a scene where the family had a wife and wanted to 'buy' the princess back as a concubine.

The most important thing is that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty strictly abides by feudal etiquette, and as a princess of the Ming Dynasty, she must lead by example, and must not divorce and remarry, so even if the princess of the Ming Dynasty chooses a wonderful horse, she can only consider herself unlucky and start from the beginning.

Fang Yuan looked at the two of them obliquely, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Princess Kunxing is really going to marry the egg pain brother and the half-gelding brother in front of her, it is estimated that the happiness in this life will be gone!

Brother Egg hurts, and the half-gelding brother looks at each other coldly, and the other party is even more unpleasant. There is only one seat for the colt, and of course they see that everyone is a 'rival in love', and they can't wait to pounce on it and bite it twice.

Fang Yuan was too lazy to 'compete with these two people', what he thought was how to reject this marriage in accordance with legal procedures.

The three of them waited for half an hour, and were invited to Kunning Palace by the little eunuch.

There was already a table in the hall of Kunning Palace, which was full of melons, fruits, snacks, and delicacies. Around the table, there are more than a dozen palace maids standing respectfully, including 'Rong Mama', and a small palace maid with a small dimple.

Fang Yuan raised his eyes and looked, there was a screen behind the hall, behind the screen, there were a few people sitting faintly, and they couldn't see the clothes clearly, but they could guess that it was Concubine Li, Queen Zhou, and Queen Yi'an who were personally inspecting the horses behind the screen.

The little palace maid who took Fang Yuan to bathe before said, "The three sons have passed a few levels in a row, they should be tired and hungry!" Please use some snacks, melons and fruits, and then proceed to the final review. ”

Fang Yuan was stunned, eating snacks, melons and fruits at this time was too nonsensical, unless he was taking the opportunity to observe the eating appearance and etiquette of the three of them.

What Fang Yuan could think of, he naturally couldn't hide the egg pain brother who looked at the thief spirit, the half-gelding brother.

Brother Egg Pain pretended to take a piece of omelette in a chic manner, played with it elegantly in his hand, and deliberately flaunted his knowledge, chanting softly, "The jade color is evenly rubbed with the slender hands, and the green oil is fried to make it tender and yellow." ”

Fang Yuan almost wanted to smash his fist on Brother Egg's face full of fat powder, he didn't forget to pretend to be X when he ate a pastry, if he didn't pretend to be X for a moment, you would die?! Thinking that if Princess Kunxing marries this kind of thing, it is really flowers inserted in cow dung.

Of course, Brother Semi-Gelding does not have the literary talent of Brother Egg, so there is no need to compete in literary talent, so he pretended to be profound, "I often read military books all night with candles and nights, and I am not tired or hungry." ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused when he heard this, "If you really like to watch the times, you won't know my Fang Yuan's name?" ”

He was here to respond to the story, and no matter how dignified he withdrew, he didn't bother to pretend to be a gentleman and literary talent, so he rushed to pick up a plate of good-looking pastries, opened the bow left and right, and swept the light with three times and five divided by two.

In the dumbfounded eyes of Brother Egg Pain, Brother Semi-Gelding, and all the palace maids, Fang Yuan said to the little palace maid again, "Is there anything else, let's have another plate." ”

The little palace maid covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Okay, Master Fang, I'll bring it immediately." ”

Fang Yuan put the plate and ordered, "Get some more tea, I'm thirsty." ”

The little palace maid nodded respectfully and said, "Okay, I'll bring it immediately." ”

Fang Yuan and the little palace maid brought the pastries, as well as the tea, and ate a lot, his eyes swept over the half of the little face peeking at by Princess Kunxing behind the screen, and he smiled and said, "Eat half full, that's all!" When will the final level review start?! ”

'Mama Rong' walked out from behind the screen and said loudly, "The last level is to ask the three sons to show their best talents!" ”

The first one is Brother Egg's Pain, Brother Eggpain obviously also observed Princess Kunxing peeking behind the screen, and immediately began to pace in the hall, shaking her head and chanting poetry, "Wonderful handwriting is true, shallow water eyes dot lips; It is suspected that he peeked at Song Yu in the past, and only half of the screen was exposed. ”

Fang Yuan has to admire Brother Egg's literary brilliance, this poem changed from Qin Guan is not only beautiful, but also appropriate, it is estimated that Princess Kunxing will not be able to escape the clutches of Brother Eggpain.

Brother Ban Gelding only then knew that he had met a strong opponent, and when it was his turn to play, he was so nervous that he memorized a few words of Sun Tzu's Art of War in advance, but it was intermittent, which was dwarfed by Brother Egg's Pain.

It was Fang Yuan's turn to play, he stood in front of the screen, lowered his head and muttered silently.

Everyone waited for a quarter of an hour, but Fang Yuan was still motionless, and the little palace maid couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Fang, what talent do you have?" Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "No! ”

The little palace maid asked again, "Poetry and songs?" ”

Fang Yuan said straight ahead, "I don't know anything!" ”

The little palace maid asked with a smile, "That must be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics and read the military books?" ”

Fang Yuan returned her with a bright smile and said, "I haven't memorized a single one!" ”

With such a straightforward answer, everyone present was stunned, and there was a stunned cough behind the screen, and a chuckle that was charming to the bones.

The little palace maid stayed there, looking back at 'Mama Rong' as if asking for help.

'Mama Rong' asked in a deep voice, "Young Master Fang, then what will you do?" ”

Fang Yuan remembered a lyric from the TV series before the crossing, and said unhurriedly, "I don't know the wind and snow, and I don't know the fragrance of the country, I can only paint the long river of smoke and smoke and sing the iron horse Jingo!" My ability to offend the peace of the palace, as well as the golden branches and jade bodies of all the ladies and princesses, cannot be displayed in public! ”

This time, it was Mama Rong's turn and she was speechless, so she could only say to Fang Yuan and the others, "Since Fang Gongzi has no talent show, then the final review will end here." Please ask the three sons to take a break, and when the results of the discussion are obtained, they will be announced immediately. ”

After Mama Rong returned to the screen, at least half an hour later, she returned to the hall and said, "Young Master Fang, please go to the side hall, the queen has something to ask you face-to-face." ”

With such an announcement, it meant that Fang Yuan's chances of winning had greatly increased.

With Fang Yuan's clumsy performance, he can win, and Brother Egg, who has pretended to be X for a long time, is scolding the 'shady' of choosing a horse in his heart. And the half-eunuch brother felt sorry for his own money, and spent a lot of money to buy off Xiaolinzi next to Wang Chengen, but he was only arranged to go to the finals for a walk.

The most headache is still Fang Yuan, secretly sighing unlucky, this can also be chosen? It's really shady everywhere, and it's no exception in front of the Son of Heaven!
