To become the king's concubine, in addition to being dignified in appearance, you must also have extremely high quality.

In order to be able to select the best concubines to enrich the harem, Fan Ji went to the beauties' dormitory in person after getting permission on the weekend, and strictly checked with Cheng Jia and other ministers.

The beauties selected from all over the country and from all over the world, in addition to the princesses of the small affiliated countries and the daughters of the ministers of the court and the central government, there are more than 1,000 people, all of whom are first-class and beautiful women.

Even people who have seen the world like this weekend are a little dazzled when they see these beauties. Of course, compared to Fan Ji, the queen of Chu State, they are still far behind. The queen is not only beautiful, but also a rare virtuous queen throughout the ages, and her heart is even more beautiful.

"You have passed the first round of the concubine election, congratulations." Chen Qian, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain beside Cheng Jia, said with a smile, "I am Chen Qian, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, and I am ordered by the king to preside over the second round of selection of this concubine conference. ”

Father-in-law Chen was like an elder, with a gaze full of hope, he gently glanced at the girls in front of him, so that they were not too restrained, and his nervous mood gradually eased a little.

After Chen Gonggong, it was Cheng Jia who selected the talents who had unique attainments in the four professional fields of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and formed an evaluation team to do the second round of screening of these beauties in front of them.

According to the proportion of concubines selected in the past, the more than 1,000 beauties selected from all over the country must be screened out at least more than half, especially King Zhuang is now famous far and wide, and has a high reputation inside and outside Chu, if the quality of the concubines is too low, it is really wronged King Zhuang.

Therefore, the talents who are responsible for screening this time are working harder.

If they can choose the beauties who are satisfactory to the king, they may be able to climb the official career, and then save more than ten years of hard work, and the carp will jump into the dragon gate and soar from then on.

"The beauties participating in the general election are divided into four groups according to their areas of expertise and participate in the second round of selection. Only beauties who can get the affirmation of the three talents can participate in the third round of selection. In addition, according to the Queen's will, each of the beauties who passed the second round of selection could choose some Ayara from the Treasure Pavilion in the palace as the king's reward for you. ”

As soon as Chen Gonggong's words fell, it caused an uproar.

Just by passing the second round of selection, he was able to obtain a piece of silver jewelry, and King Chu Zhuang really deserved to be the son of destiny, and he was so generous.

While thinking about it in their hearts, the beauties became even more curious about the unmasked king.

King Chuzhuang, what kind of person is he? Those who can obtain the protection of the gods must be magnificent, right?

Just when the chief chamberlain, the great eunuch Chen Qian, presided over the second round of selection, Queen Fan Ji, under the guidance of Cheng Jia, came to a dormitory located next to the second round of selection venue to meet another group of beauties who participated in the general election.

Although the beauties here are not many, they are all prominent and have extraordinary backgrounds.

Among them, there are five princesses of subject countries alone.

In terms of appearance, even if they are not as good as Cai Yunxi, they are much better than those concubines in the palace of King Chu, which makes Fan Ji very satisfied, but I don't know what their conduct is, and they still need Cheng Jia to do further evaluation.

It wasn't until half a month later that Fan Ji added the final candidates selected, as well as some eliminated but well-behaved beauties, to the list, and submitted them to the weekend through Chen Qian's hands, so that he could make the final decision.

"King Zhuang, these are the beauties who have passed the layers of selection. Do you need the old slave to find someone to bring them and let King Zhuang meet them? ”

"No need, I believe in the queen's vision, you go and get the list back, let the queen determine their positions, and then I will make a decision."

"This ......" Chen Qian held up the list of beauties, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

How can there be a reason that the queen is the queen who chooses all the concubines?

However, looking at the meaning of King Zhuang, it seems that he does not care about this matter. Even when choosing beauties before, Fan Ji and Cheng Jia were in charge, and they only asked the waiters to bring some new news to King Zhuang from time to time.

Now, after the selection, do you want the queen to decide? Chen Qian was surprised that King Zhuang trusted the queen so much. However, the queen's character is well-known, and she should not deliberately choose some women that King Zhuang does not like. The king's command is above all else, and he only needs to do it, so why bother with mediocrity.

"Oh, yes! There's one more thing, I want you to go for me. ”

Fan Ji took care of the matter of choosing a concubine, and Qin Qian and them did the affairs of the granary, and they lived a leisurely life for a long time on the weekend, either visiting the garden or playing with his concubines all day long, but they were also comfortable.

It's just that somehow, since the beginning of the matter of choosing a concubine, Fan Ji didn't let her and Cai Yunxi's bedroom go to the weekend again, which made him suffer from lovesickness for a while, and even did not hesitate to be a gentleman on the beam once, but he didn't see Fan Ji and Cai Yunxi, but was almost captured by the guards patrolling the palace as assassins.

It wasn't until Fan Ji handed over the list of new harem concubines to the weekend in person that he saw the beautiful woman he had been missing for a long time.

"King Zhuang, this is what I planned with Sister Yunxi, can you see if there is anything else you need to add?"

Fan Ji observed King Zhuang's reaction as she spoke, but she didn't have the heart to listen to her at all. The eyeballs have not left Fan Ji since she came in. I haven't seen him for a few days, Fan Ji's face is ruddy, her body is plump, and she is not lonely because she hasn't seen him for a few days, but is full of relaxation.

It wasn't until Fan Ji finished speaking, after a long while, that the weekend reacted, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he smiled playfully: "Finished?" In this way, I will do as you say, and I will not look at it. It's like sealing concubines and concubines, I believe that my queen will handle this matter very well. ”

"Then ask King Zhuang to move and go and meet his sisters! In addition, which sister to summon to sleep tonight also asked King Zhuang to decide earlier, otherwise, Fan Ji was afraid that his sisters would not be prepared and would not serve King Zhuang well. ”

Fan Ji said, let the chamberlain pass on the order, and all those concubines will be concentrated in the garden of the harem*** King Zhuang to select.

But I didn't want to, the chamberlain had just left, and on the weekend, he dragged Fan Ji in front of him into his arms, sat on the throne with her arms, reached out to borrow the ribbon she used to tie her dress, and muttered indignantly while untying it: "You dare to deliberately hide from me, see if I don't clean you up." If you're here today, you don't want to leave. ”
