This scale is much smaller than before, and Prince Li said the reason, "The Queen Mother is saintly, merciful to the people, except for the show girls who are selected in the palace, the rest are put back and let the outside marry on their own." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info so the Ministry of Internal Affairs left only the best, and the rest were put up and sent home. ”

If there is a person who is fancied, she will leave her name tag, which is called leaving a brand; If you don't have the one selected, you will put a sign. Then, the show girl who left the sign was re-selected regularly, and those who did not stay were re-selected, also known as the brand. The show girls who are re-selected after the re-election have two fates: one is to give them to the royal family or the clan family; One is to stay in the palace, serve the emperor around, and become a candidate for concubine. There are fewer marriages in the previous one, so the next one is naturally the candidate for the remaining concubine.

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Sixty-three, it's not too little, but it's good?" She glanced at Emperor Guangxu, who was a little nervous, "Family morality is naturally important, but this appearance should also be good." ”

When the word "show girl" comes into people's eyes, people's intuition is that the show girl should have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, however, is the beautiful appearance the main criterion for being elected as a show girl? Of course not, not only that, but the nature of girls to love beauty has also become a non-dividing thought. The Qing Dynasty clearly stipulated that when the Eight Banners show girls read it, they must wear flag costumes, and fashion is strictly prohibited. Moreover, according to the traditional concept of China, "lust" is also extremely dishonorable, and "beautiful women and bad countries" have always been the talisman of emperors and their ministers, so this standard is always in the confusion of imminent separation and secrecy. In the forty-third year of Qianlong, a county student stopped the royal car and implored Emperor Qianlong to issue an edict on the reduction of the funeral of the Empress Wulanala, which caused Long Yan to be furious, but he did not forget to state that after the Nala clan, "it was not to choose love to ascend", and later fell out of favor, and it was also "self-inflicted, not because of the decline of lust", in short, he refused to admit that he was lustful. The two criteria for choosing a concubine are one is morality and the other is family. In the Qing Dynasty, the canonization of queens, concubines, and concubines often saw leniency, filial piety, gentleness, and prudence. Among them, the door has a more important role, the Qing Dynasty is not popular in the Ming Dynasty from the small door of the small household after the election, except for the posthumous posthumous or the mother with the son of the queen crowned, generally speaking, are famous. However, the Empress Dowager Cixi is from the appearance association, and she has always liked beautiful girls, and the harem of the Tongzhi Emperor is quite beautiful, and Empress Xiaozhe is a well-known beauty in the Eight Banners, and she will not let the unsightly show girls be selected.

Prince Li obviously knows the aesthetics of the Queen Mother, just kidding, the Queen Mother, who likes beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry, is of course the most fond of beautiful girls, "Yes, the grandmothers do it in the way of the Queen Mother." It's not good for him to say that he has seen those show girls, but he just said that his grandmother has seen them, "I can't be wrong." ”

Since Prince Li is so assured, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction, according to reason, the military aircraft Shoufu disdains to do these small things in the inner court, but Prince Li is a clan and the emperor's elder, let him do this, it is best, Prince Alcohol is also easy to do, but he avoids many things, so this matter is explained to Prince Li, "Have you chosen a good day to see?" ”

"The third day of the first month of next month is a good day, but I want to drive the Old Summer Palace next month, but I don't know how to deal with it, please the queen mother's will, do you want to move to the Old Summer Palace to select?"

The show girls selected by each flag should be sent to the capital in advance by mule cart. Due to the different family backgrounds of many show girls, the official eunuchs still have vehicles, and the soldiers' families can only hire cars to ride. Therefore, Qianlong stipulated: "To guide women, regardless of the size of officials and soldiers, each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver, as it is necessary to hire a car." …… This silver tael,...... Mobilize the treasury of the user department. After the show girls arrived in the capital, on the day before entering the palace to be elected, they sat on the mule cart, and the order was arranged by the staff of the banner, the leader and the leader, called the "row car", according to the order of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han people. The front is the relatives of the concubine in the palace, followed by the woman who was selected to leave the brand and this re-election, and finally the new selection of the show girls, arranged in order of age, the fish runs through the tail, the car tree has double lights, and there is a logo of "the daughter of a certain flag and a certain leader". At sunset, the car is distributed, and at night it enters the Di'an Gate, and after waiting for the palace gate to open outside the Shenwu Gate, it gets off the car, and under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, it enters the Shunzhen Gate in order. The mule cart taken by the show girls went east and south from the Shenwu Gate Road, out of Donghua Gate, from Chongwenmen Street to the north, through the North Market, and then through Di'anmen to Shenwu Gate, at this time, it was noon the next day. Of course, the queen mother and the emperor will not toss, it is the show girl and the people who work in the internal affairs office to toss.

The Imperial Garden, the Tiyuan Palace, Jingyixuan and other places were once places for reading draft girls. The draft in the Old Summer Palace has not yet passed, the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Yes, the scenery of the Old Summer Palace is good, looking at the show girls, it can add more appearance," she looked at Emperor Guangxu, "The emperor chooses by himself, and he doesn't need me to mix, right?" ”

Emperor Guangxu's face was flushed, "My son understands this," his voice was as small as a mosquito humming, and he almost couldn't hear it clearly, "It's better to be your own father." ”

"What's my decision," Cixi laughed, "Don't be embarrassed, this is your own lifelong event, it's you who live, not me, the queen concubine will follow you for a lifetime in the future," Speaking of which, the queen mother was a little distracted, after so many years, did she tell people like this before?

For a while, she suddenly stopped her voice, the hall was quiet, Prince Li quietly raised his head from under the brim of his hat, only to see the Queen Mother pondering something, this silence was just maintained for a while, the Queen Mother came back to her senses, "Your own liking is the most important." ”

The emperor just said that the queen mother was in charge, and Prince Li hurriedly said, "It has always been a practice for the queen mother and the emperor to read and select together, and this time according to the previous example, the slave thinks it is appropriate." ”

If you become a candidate for the concubine, the procedures will be more complicated, after the first "introduction", you will repeatedly "re-watch", and there will be a "registration", which is selected to keep a brand; There is a "name", which was personally selected by the emperor to keep the brand. Finally, it is necessary to go through the "stay in the palace" to investigate, and select a few people among the show girls who stay in the palace, and the rest are all signs.
