Chapter 079: Queen James Queen
The next day, after the Fourth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion was deployed, Zhu Youxiao was busy bathing and changing clothes, and then went to the Yuanhui Palace. After months of selection and observation, the competition between 5,000 show girls and the queen has reached the final moment.
Most of the 5,000 show girls selected from the national audition have been eliminated, and now there are only 50 left.
These 5,000 beautiful girls are all from ordinary good people's families, and they prefer women from poor families, trying to assist the emperor in frugality and diligence.
Then there were three hundred left, and they were allowed to dwell in the palace for a while, in order to observe their temperament, and then two hundred and fifty were eliminated, and fifty remained.
The remaining fifty show girls are all standard beauties, and after months of observation, their temperament and the like are very good.
Today is the time for the final victory, among the fifty beauties, three will be selected in the end, and Zhu Youxiao will personally appoint the queen.
This is a major event related to lifelong happiness! Zhu Youxiao is naturally very concerned. Zhu Youxiao had often sent Yang Guang to 'spy on' the selection situation, and Concubine Li Kang, Zhao Xuanzhi and others also sent him a few portraits, all of which were painted with beautiful women, which made Zhu Youxiao's heart sway.
After tossing and turning, Zhu Youxiao went to Yuanhui Hall refreshed.
Concubine Li Kang and Zhao Xuanshi, as well as the Hakka family, have all passed. A group of women and mandarin ducks and swallows were extremely lively.
"The emperor has arrived."
Zhu Youxiao walked into the Yuanhui Palace, and a group of women inside saluted Zhu Youxiao, but it was not a kneeling salute, and the three finally selected show girls also did not need to kneel and salute.
These three show girls who finally stood out were selected by the harem concubines of the previous generation, and such a system obviously ensured the harmony of the harem order in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the concubines of the previous generation of emperors don't want the new queen's empress to be a mean and vicious woman, so how can they live in peace in the future?
Therefore, if you want to become a queen or princess, you must not only be good-looking, but also meet the standards of all parts of your body, even your voice and the like, and you also have requirements for your character and character.
It is also this kind of concubine selection system that has also made a lot of folk things appear in the royal family education, compared with the hegemony of the emperors in the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty rarely have that kind of character, but are more reasonable. The strange one is Emperor Jiajing, but Emperor Jiajing belongs to the palace halfway.
Zhu Youxiao walked into the Yuanhui Hall and saw these three fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girls, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, they were all high-quality beauties, which really made him feel a little dazzled.
settled down, but Zhu Youxiao was firmly attracted by one of the girls. This girl is plump and slender, with a dignified and elegant appearance, simply an angelic face and a devilish figure. This plump beautiful girl is definitely the best of the best.
There are many types of beauties, and the truly best beauties are different from popular beauties and have their own unique temperament.
The queen of the Ming Dynasty was selected from 5,000 show girls, and her appearance was naturally not bad, and the three beauties who could stand out in the end were basically all with unique temperaments, and there was always one that met the emperor's taste. This also made many emperors of the Ming Dynasty infatuated seeds, the so-called harem beauties three thousand, is just an adjective, many emperors in the Ming Dynasty only like one woman in their lives.
In contrast, the queens and concubines of the Qing Dynasty are much worse, and it is no wonder that there are so many palace fighting dramas that can be filmed. Looking at the appearance of the old witch Cixi, I feel quite sad.
"Your Majesty, take a closer look, which one do you like?" Concubine Li Kang asked Zhu Youxiao. The three beautiful girls couldn't help but get a little nervous, not knowing if the emperor could choose them.
"Who is this?" Zhu Youxiao pointed to the plump beautiful girl and asked.
"This is Zhang's family from Xiangfu County, Henan, and he is fifteen years old this year." Concubine Li Kang introduced, and Zhu Youxiao nodded. Then he looked at the other two beauties. One of the girls is soft, natural, pure and lovely, especially the eyes and eyebrows, which are rarely beautiful. looks relatively young, and her figure has not yet developed, so she is a complete beauty. Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked again: "Who is this?" ”
"This is Nanjing Nanjing Yingyangwei Duan, thirteen years old this year."
I'm only thirteen years old! Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned, but when he thought about it, he thought that at the age when he seemed to be only fifteen years old, it was really nothing.
Zhu Youxiao looked carefully at the last beautiful girl, this is a tall girl with a pretty face, this girl saw the emperor looking at her, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she looked very sunny.
"What about this one?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.
"This is the Wang family of Daxing County, Shuntianfu, sixteen years old this year." Concubine Li Kang continued to introduce it, and then asked, "Which one does the emperor like?" ”
I saw Zhu Youxiao's face shy, and he said with a slightly red face: "I like it all." ”
Concubine Li Kang, Zhao Xuan's waiter, the Hakka family, and the surrounding palace maids all immediately covered their mouths and laughed, and the scene was extremely happy for a while. The three ladies also looked relieved at this time, since the emperor likes them all, it means that he doesn't have to fall out of favor.
"The emperor likes it naturally, but there is only one queen! You've got to make a decision! Concubine Li Kang said. Zhao Xuanzhi said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the remaining two can also be crowned as imperial concubines." ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be secretly refreshed! At one time, he sent three peerless beautiful girls to throw her canonization. If you cross over, where will you get this blessing!
But if you want to say who will be the queen, Zhu Youxiao looked left and right, and he didn't know what to do! I hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up my mind. However, after being the emperor for so long, Zhu Youxiao still learned to be a hand, and hurriedly asked Concubine Li Kang and them: "Do you have any concubines?" ”
"From the point of view of this palace, if you are dignified and blessed, it still belongs to the Zhang family." Concubine Li Kang immediately built a way, and Zhao Xuanzhi and the Hakka also held the same view.
The queen wants to be the mother of the world, and her temperament must be in line.
Zhang's dignified and demure figure, both in appearance and temperament, is very suitable for canonization as the queen. Zhu Youxiao saw that the parents had built it like this, and immediately agreed: "Then canonize it like this!" ”
Zhang's slight blessing expressed his gratitude. The Wang family and the Duan family were slightly disappointed, but they were also very lucky to be canonized as the imperial concubine, so they were still a little more happy.
Then the Zhang family was canonized as the queen, the Wang family had a sunny and good temperament, so she was canonized as a good concubine, and the Duan family was pure and lovely, and was canonized as a pure concubine.
A group of eunuchs were busy with the canonization matters, but Zhu Youxiao was a little anxious, and when the sun went down, he didn't see Concubine Li Kang and the others arranging for the queen, Concubine Liang, Concubine Chun and himself to sleep. After holding it for a long time, I couldn't help but ask: "Mother, can I take the queen back to the Qianqing Palace today?" ”
"Of course you can, the queen naturally wants to live in the Qianqing Palace together. But the emperor, you are not yet an adult, so you can sleep in a separate room for the time being, and you are not allowed to mess around. Concubine Li Kang said to Zhu Youxiao strictly, and still strictly implemented the supervision obligation as a parent.
"Huh? I, when will I become an adult? Zhu Youxiao asked dumbfounded.
"Emperor, men are only sixteen years old before they reach adulthood." Keshi reminded, "You have to wait until the second day of March next year to calculate the time." ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help crying with a sad face, not to mention how depressed he was, and asked, "Why don't you become an adult at the age of fifteen?" ”
The eunuch who held the seal seal on the side immediately said: "Emperor Qi, this is what the sages said in ancient times, and the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" also has a detailed record, eight years for men is a hexagram, and seven years for women is a hexagram. Thus men are sixteen years of age, and women are fourteen years of age. ”
"Alright! I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. Zhu Youxiao said that he was very hurt, he was not yet an adult! Slowly waved his sleeves and said, reluctantly accepting this painful fact. PS: There is only one change today, mainly because such a plot is not very skilled. And yesterday I had a slight cold, today was fine, so I didn't care, in the evening my grandmother called me to drink duck soup, so I drank a big bowl down, the result was tragic, the disease was locked in the body, and the cold recurred at night, only to remember that I couldn't drink this thing with a cold, tragedy!
