It wasn't until Concubine Wen came out of the inner room that everyone stopped talking and got up to salute.

"Concubine Niangniang Jin'an." Pour your face and the concubines are blessed.

Concubine Wen Guifei sat down on the top with the palace maid's hand, her eyes gently swept over the concubines, and said kindly: "Sit down." ”

The concubines: "Xie Guifei Niangniang." ”

After everyone sat down, Concubine Wen said: "This morning, there are two things to explain in this palace, the first thing, I think all the sisters have heard about it, the emperor just ascended the throne, and the ministers proposed that the emperor hold a show girl election, fill the harem, and extend the emperor's heir." ”

"But at that time, the emperor died, and the emperor was in mourning, so he exempted the Xiunu election, and only married a few powerful ministers in the court, the family members, and the Dongdan Kingdom."

"Now that the emperor ascends the throne, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only three heirs of the emperor in the palace, so this year's show girl election will be held as scheduled this month."

Saying that, Concubine Wen looked down at the concubines below, "This is the first show girl election after the emperor ascended the throne, which is extremely important for the royal harem. ”

Last time, the royal family did not hold a show girl election.

Many women of the right age have been married by the royal family and enveloped their relatives.

If it continues like this, it will be a problem to raise tigers.

"Remember the teachings of the concubine." Although the concubines responded like this.

But I was thinking in my heart that the sisters who had just entered the palace didn't understand the rules, so they naturally had to "take care of it".

Teach them what the rules are! What is De Jong!

As for Qian Yan, when he heard this definite news, he only felt that the palace was really an impersonal place.

Not long after Jiang Cairen and Concubine Shugui were buried, the royal draft was about to be held.

After saying this, Concubine Wen looked at the empty seat at the bottom.

That position turned out to be where Concubine Rou was sitting.

It's just that Concubine Rou has been promoted to concubine, so you don't have to come to her to say goodbye.

Concubine Wen said: "This second thing is related to Concubine Rou, you will disperse from the palace later, remember to follow the previous rules, and also go to Concubine Rou to sit." ”

Concubines: "Yes." ”

After touching a stick of incense, Qian Yan and his party left the Wenhua Hall and went to the Rou Dream Hall of the Rou Guifei instead.

When she got there, Concubine Rou was already sitting at the top of the hall.

For the concubines who bowed to the next salute, Concubine Rou had a smile on her face, "Sisters, don't give you a seat!" ”

From the moment the concubines entered the hall, she had a smile on her face like a spring breeze.

Especially watching the harem concubines salute her and say goodbye, the smile on her face became even brighter.

At this moment, she sat at the top, looking down at the concubines below, the feeling of being self-respecting and not having to kneel down to other people's women was simply not too good.

It turns out that it feels so cool to stand on the commanding heights of harem power!

It's no wonder that the concubines did everything they could in order to compete for favor and promotion.

From now on, she will be Concubine Rou, and she can manage the affairs of the harem with Concubine Wen!

So far, the highest position in the harem, and the Rou Guifei who is on an equal footing with Concubine Wen!

Since this is the first time that the palace concubines have returned to Rou Guifei, please be safe.

So, Concubine Rou gave each of them a piece of jewelry.

And because it was the first time, the people had been pulling the calves for a long time, and they did not disperse until half an hour later, and each went back to his own dwelling.

After Tanyan returned to her residence, the Shanggong Bureau sent another group of servants over according to her position......

Next, the show girl election is the point that the former harem pays the most attention to.

The ministers of the previous dynasty had women of appropriate age in their families, and they stuffed the family women into the palace.

So, naturally, they paid attention.

As for the harem concubines, thinking that there will be a group of new competitors soon, a sense of crisis and huge pressure coexist, and it can be said that they don't pay attention to the trends of the show girl election.

Even Concubine Jing, who has never been a so-called concubine, regards this matter as an after-dinner pastime.

For example, where is the show girl election today?

Which show girl is the most beautiful?

Which show girl is a talented girl?

Which show girl is angry?

There are also many inquiries such as these, which are widely spread in Beijing and the Imperial Palace.

Those who sell these gossip also take advantage of the heat to make a lot of money.

The show girl election of the Yuanrui Dynasty is different from other dynasties and other countries.

The selection targets are extremely wide, not only official women can participate, but all unmarried girls of the country can participate.

Up to the prime minister, the daughter of the royal family of a friendly country.

From the singers and dancers in the streets, the common people, and the daughters of farmers, all of them can marry with the royal family.

However, if you think that just a woman can run, you are very wrong!

First of all, the candidate must be a clean and good person.

The innocent family here refers to the fact that the three generations of ancestors have not been charged with murder, crime, robbery, corruption and other crimes, that is the innocent family.

Secondly, the royal family also has layers of strict screening, as well as a set of standardized draft girl system.

The age of the show girl entering the palace is set at fourteen years old and under eighteen years old.

Since the show girls are all in various places, the Ministry of Rites has to send people to all parts of the country to find 4,000 women of appropriate age, that is, auditions.

Then pay the money from the household department to those women as a dowry, that is, pay the travel expenses to let them enter Beijing to participate in the interview.

By the time all the show girls gathered in Beijing, it was already mid-March.

In the northern bordering country, the internal supervisor and the female official are the first judges of the show girl election.

On March 20, the show girls entered the palace in groups according to their regions and identities.

There is a row for every 100 people, and it is screened by the internal supervisor like an object.

Then, like the devil of hell, the difficult beauty pageant, ah no, it was the show girl election that really began!

On the first day of the interview, those who were physically unqualified, slightly taller, slightly shorter, slightly fatter, and slightly thinner, were eliminated in the first batch.

On the second day of the preliminary examination, the internal supervisor began to check the facial features.

In addition to examining the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, and eyes.

Hair, skin, shoulders, waist, and back will also be examined.

But if there is anything wrong, you can return to your hometown.

These show girls, in addition to serving the emperor as concubines.

If you are not elected, you also want to enter the palace as a palace maid and serve the concubines.

Otherwise, it is a marriage with the side branch of the royal family.

So, not only do you have to check that, but you also have to check their voices, and you have to speak clearly.

They had to read their hometowns, their names, and their ages to the inner prison.

If the voice is muddy, the voice is as rough as a man, or the scene is overly nervous and distracted, it will be eliminated immediately.

On the third day, the re-examination will be carried out.

The Internal Supervisory Committee used a ruler to measure the hands and feet of the women and inspect their steps.

Those whose wrists are thicker and shorter, whose toes are slightly larger, or whose steps are not graceful and dignified, and who walk lightly and dryly, are all eliminated.

After three days of strict assessment, the original 4,000 show girls are only in their early 1,000s.

On the fourth day, the female officials in the palace will take the show girls to the secret room for a new round of assessment.
