Chapter 292: The wolf has more meat and less meat
Qi Yuanbi was sighing secretly, and suddenly saw the Huangji Gate open, and the emperor, surrounded by a group of people, ascended to the high platform in front of the Huangji Gate. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I heard the great eunuch who was originally presiding over the scene shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
Qi Yuanbi followed everyone else's instinctive reaction, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Knock to see Your Majesty!" God bless my emperor, long live, long live, long live! ”
Since the inauguration ceremony of the Guards, when the officers and men of the army visited the emperor, they invariably added the words "heavenly" before "long live my emperor, long live, long live".
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also noticed this small change, but this was a change that made him happy, so he let it go.
Emperor Chongzhen climbed on a high platform more than three feet high, talked about the basic rules, and told them that the eldest husband made a promise, and he was not allowed to repent, if he was optimistic, but the woman did not agree, he was not allowed to force, and everything was voluntary.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished talking about the rules, he left with his attendants, leaving the Jinyi guard to command Gong Yonggu and several palace officials to support the blind date on the spot.
Not long after the emperor left, the side door next to the Huangji Gate opened, and a group of palace maids with similar height, body shape, skin color, and even clothing and hairstyle walked out of it with their heads down.
Qi Yuanbi's eyes widened, wanting to choose one of them first, and then find an opportunity to give her her license plate directly, if she can take her own license plate and give her to herself, it means that this is done.
Of course, if the number plate with Qi Yuanbi's name written on it is handed over to the eunuch next to her, the eunuch will go to get the license plate again, which means that people do not like her.
What Qi Yuanbi didn't know was that his worries were unnecessary, although the position was not written on the number plate, but most of the palace maids who had a way, or those who had a status and good conditions in the palace, had already memorized the names of these higher-ranking people.
When the time comes, it will only be up to you to see if you can talk about their looks.
So the blind date that seems to be fair is actually not so fair, because those palace maids who are used in the harem don't want to marry an ordinary old man in a daze.
And the concubines behind them don't want their palace maids to marry inferiorly.
Regarding the requirements of the concubines, although Chu Xianzhang had a headache, he didn't dare to say a word.
Today's concubines are not particularly favored, but there are no particularly unfavored, Emperor Chongzhen is very satisfied with the current queen and several concubines, so he treats them equally.
However, the more this is the case, the more the eunuchs in the palace dare not offend anyone, because if they offend anyone, they will not be able to eat and walk around, and the end will be miserable.
The same is true of Chu Charter. Therefore, in desperation, I had to secretly disclose the candidates with better conditions and higher positions to the concubines who sent people to inquire in advance.
Chu Xianzhang also euphemistically told the emperor about this situation, but the emperor just laughed it off and didn't ask.
While thinking about it, the palace maids who came to select or candidate candidates were already standing under the stage, and Chu Xianzhang walked up to the stage, talked about the specific rules again, and then announced the start.
The military attachés, who had been standing a little further from the stage, walked up to the stage in groups, introduced their names and places of origin according to the predetermined rules, and then walked around and stepped down.
In this way, more than half an hour passed, and more than 1,000 people came to the stage one after another to briefly introduce themselves.
And those palace maids who stood and watched under the stage had already chosen the candidates in their hearts, and they waited for a while to watch the lanterns, and handed their number plates to their favorite candidates.
Since there are more men and fewer women, once the man receives the number plate of the palace maid, he must take the number plate to the steward and eunuch who has been set up in advance to register, and hand in his number plate.
The eunuch in charge would tie the two plates together and store them as proof of marriage.
Women are allowed to choose the best one they think is among the number plates handed to them, while men are never allowed to choose from them.
Soon, the introduction of all the military attaches ended, and no one spoke loudly or anything, all of them pretended to be there to watch the palace lanterns in front of the Imperial Gate, and all kinds of palace lanterns were written on them.
Of course, no one chose to guess the lantern riddle at this time, and some military attachés who had already seen it quickly took action and handed the number plate in their hands to their favorite woman.
After all, there are more monks and less porridge, and there are more wolves and less meat, if you don't hurry up, you may not even have a chance to hand it out!
Qi Yuanbi thought about his own conditions, he didn't dare to find a palace maid who was too young and beautiful, and after thinking about it, he finally fell in love with a tall and well-proportioned palace maid who was about the same age as himself, and walked over.
There was no one else around the palace maid, and she pretended to watch the palace lanterns.
Qi Yuanbi stepped forward a few steps quickly and said, "My name is Qi Yuanbi, can my sister accept my number plate?" ”
The palace maid looked back at him, her face flushed with shame, but just right, under the backdrop of the palace lights, she looked even more beautiful, which made Qi Yuanbi a little fascinated for a while.
Looking at people under the night light, there is often such an effect, the appearance looks general in the daytime, and under the colorful lights at night, it will be several times better than the daytime.
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose to watch the lanterns on the night of the Shangyuan Festival and let them go on a blind date is to create such an effect of adding points to each other.
The palace maid is also a female official in the palace, she is twenty-nine years old, three years older than Qi Yuanbi, I thought she was old, I was afraid that she would not find a good match, but she didn't expect that the first person to choose her was a guerrilla general.
Qi Yuanbi's name, she has also read and remembered it, knowing that he is widowed and has no children.
Although it was a stepfamily to marry, the steproom was also a wife.
Therefore, at this time, as soon as she heard Qi Yuanbi report her name, the palace maid looked at him again with a red face, and decisively took the number plate from Qi Yuanbi's hand.
Qi Yuanbi was excited for a while, which meant that at least he was an option for others.
Next, what made him even more excited was that the palace maid suddenly said to him: "My name is Hongyan, this is my number plate!" ”
After saying this, the palace maid named Hongyan quickly handed out her number plate.
Qi Yuanbi hurriedly took it and held it tightly in his hand, lest it be snatched by someone else.
The palace maid didn't say anything more to him, just nodded at him, and walked away briskly with a red face.
Until this time, Qi Yuanbi seemed to be in a dream, seeing that the palace maid was far away, he spread out his palms, and looked at the number plate with the other party's name on it again under the light, and then his heart was steady.
Looking at the square in front of the Huangji Gate, the crowd has decreased, which means that situations like him are constantly being staged in places.
Qi Yuanbi looked at the magnificent palace complex in the distance, and suddenly felt that life could be so beautiful.
At this time, the hands of Hu Dawei and Fierce Tiger were already empty, and their license plates were also successfully handed to the woman they liked, and they also successfully got the other party's license plates from the other party's hands, and what was further than Qi Yuanbi was that they had already handed over the number plates to the eunuchs who had been specially registered, and they had already done a good job of registration.
Hu Dawei and Fierce Tiger didn't know each other originally, but it was Jiangwutang who pulled these two people with similar backgrounds and experiences together.
Of course, they also knew Qi Yuanbi, who was also born in the martial arts hall, and at this time, they looked at Qi Yuanbi who was in a daze not far away, and walked over to him and said, "Brother Qi, what's wrong?" It's a turn away, right? The two laughed as they spoke.
Qi Yuanbi knows the virtues of these two people, although they are mean and like to sneer and sarcastic, they are not bad at heart and are very loyal.
Therefore, after listening to the jokes of the two, he was not angry, but proudly raised the number plate in his hand and said, "Look what this is?!" cool guys! ”
After saying this, he ignored the laughter of the fierce tiger and the tiger's might, and walked quickly to the steward and eunuch in charge of registration.
