Chapter 3
As Mama Li said, the draft is just a formality for Ji Yingxin, at least, the first two levels of the draft are like this.
The Qing Dynasty draft is divided into three levels, the first level is that there are eight banner owners, hand-picked qualified girls to be drafted, and reported to the Middle Palace, just like the census, there is almost no difficulty.
The second level is to enter the palace to be selected, and the eunuchs and grandmothers in the palace will test whether the appearance of the show girl is different, there may be a peculiar smell on the body, there can be scars on the body, whether the sound will stimulate the nobles in the palace, etc.
As for the third level, it is different from the first two levels, the draft girl needs to enter the palace for about half a month, and the queen concubine in the palace will guide and train to observe whether it is appropriate to advance and retreat, etc., this level is different from the first two levels, halfway, if there is a poor performance, it will be sent out of the palace, and if everything is good, you can participate in the final selection, that is, the selection of the emperor and queen.
The show girls who can come here are definitely the top among the girls to be drafted that year.
Although, after that, there is a difference between the one who leaves the brand and the one who leaves the brand, but in fact, the show girl who leaves the brand is not necessarily worse than the show girl who leaves the brand.
The draft, nominally to enrich the harem for the emperor, but also to give marriage to the clan, but in fact, the royal family can accommodate a limited number of show girls, many show girls with outstanding family backgrounds, as early as before the draft, if there is no intention to enter the palace, or after having a favorite person, they will secretly send news to the above.
Therefore, this part of the show girls, generally speaking, the emperor will not insist on breaking people's private agreements and keeping other people's brands.
It is precisely for this reason that as long as you can participate in the final selection of the emperor and queen, it is enough to show that this show girl is outstanding, and those Manchurian ministers who are not interested in the royal family also have many plans to use the draft to gild their daughters.
Generally speaking, people like Ji Yingxin, long before the draft, were right because they looked at each other, but it was because of her twilight that everyone avoided her a little, which made Feiyangu and Jue Luo attach great importance to this draft.
On the one hand, I hope that Ji Yingxin can be left with a brand, so that whether it is entering the emperor's harem or pointing it to the clan, there is a place to go, but on the other hand, I am worried that Ji Yingxin's temperament, if she enters the harem or the clan, she will not be loved by her husband's family, and sooner or later she will be eaten without even bones.
So much so that during the draft, the hair of the two turned gray again.
passed the first two levels of the draft plainly, on this day, Ji Yingxin stayed in Chuxiu Palace with a group of girls to be drafted, and in the morning, there was a grandmother in her early thirties, standing at the door of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, looking at the girls waiting for draft, and said with a serious face.
"The slave maid is the aunt in charge of this Chuxiu Palace, you can call the slave and maid Aunt Panxi."
"The slave and maid know, you are all a daughter at home, and you can't tolerate the slightest slackness, but the slave and maid are here to remind you that this palace is not as good as your house, here, all of you are all show girls to be selected, and every move must be in accordance with the rules of the palace."
"If there is any Gege who thinks that he can't endure this hardship, then it's okay to say, the slave maid gave the concubine Niangniang, and sent Gege out of the palace, understand?"
Aunt Panxi's words were respectful, but that high-minded appearance made the faces of the young ladies present look ugly, fortunately, most of the ladies who were born here were from everyone's background, and they were angry in their hearts, but they were not stupid enough to do it against Aunt Panxiang, their faces were not safe, but they also endured it.
I saw that Aunt Panxi's eyes were like steel knives, sweeping over the bodies of the show girls, and her sharp gaze pierced people's cheeks.
The show girls present are from everyone's background, but they are no more than seventeen, and they are only thirteen, how can they compare with this deep palace grandmother, their eyes touched, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at them.
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Aunt Panxi's eyes, she has been in the palace for many years, and her favorite thing is to watch this noble-born Manchurian noblewoman bow her head and surrender in front of her.
was looking at it with satisfaction, and suddenly, Aunt Panxi's eyes met a pair of calm and waveless eyes, only to see that the eyes were like bottomless pools, unwavering, and the sharp gaze of Aunt Panxi was also motionless.
The two looked at each other, not only did the other party not flinch a little, but looked as usual, quietly looking at Aunt Panxi, after a long time, Aunt Panxi felt a little hairy in her heart, as if she had done something wrong, and avoided her eyes in a little panic.
After avoiding her eyes, Aunt Panxi's brows tufted slightly, and a sense of displeasure rose in her heart, and when she looked at those eyes again, she found that the eyes had drooped, which suddenly made her feel powerless to punch the cotton.
"Who's that?" Aunt Panxi turned sideways slightly and asked the little palace maid beside her.
When the little palace maid heard this, she followed Aunt Panxi's gaze, and then whispered: "That's the Minister of the Interior, the eldest brother of the family of Lord Ulanala Feiyangu, Ulanala Yingxin. ”
Wulanala clan, Aunt Panxi's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she didn't say anything.
The most important thing for those who are on an errand in the palace is not how much ability they have, but whether they have the vision to see and know who can be offended and who cannot be offended.
If it's an ordinary show girl, forget it, but the descendants of the Ulanala clan are big and big, and they have to be respected for the unfavored waste character, not to mention that she is just an aunt in charge.
Eyes swept over Ji Yingxin's body, Aunt Panxi cleared her throat, as if nothing had happened, and continued:
"Okay, that's all the slave has to say, I hope you can keep it in mind and don't violate the rules and regulations of the palace."
"Now, please all the little masters, according to a group of four, stay in the wing, in the next half a month, you guys, you will be in this Chuxiu Palace, learn the etiquette of the palace, there is no summons, you can't leave the Chuxiu Palace for half a step, remember?"
"Remembered." A group of show girls hurriedly responded.
Then, Aunt Panxi waved her hand, and saw a group of show girls scattered, walking towards the wing room in a measured manner, hoping to find a better wing room, after all, it would take half a month to live.
Ji Yingxin is no exception, in the crowd of steady footsteps, seems to be slow and fast, in the crowd of ladies who do not go out of the gate, the second door does not step out, the speed is the fastest one, and he also instantly grabbed a wing room facing the best, the north and south are transparent, and the light is sufficient.
