Chapter 200: The draft is over

The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she thought that Li Jing would blame her for making her own decisions.

"I heard that the Yang family also has a daughter, but among these show girls?"

Li Jing asked.

Li Jing remembers the Yang sisters, married to Li Chongjun and Li Longji respectively, Li Chongjun is dead, Li Longji is still young, as the imperial brother, he has the responsibility to help his brother take care of his future daughter-in-law.

"My little sister is still young and not in the draft!"

The queen's face was a little unpleasant, she didn't expect Li Jing to be so anxious, and she didn't even let go of such a young child!

"It doesn't matter if she's young, you can let her enter the palace and raise her in your palace first."

Li Jing seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, but he told the queen about it in a commanding tone.

Anyway, one is raised, and two are also raised, rather than following Li Longji's soul in the future, it is better to follow him!

He also heard that the little sister of the Yang family played the piano well, and sang very well, and raised her in the queen's palace, not only can she go to learn martial arts with the queen from time to time, but also listen to the music by the way, why not!

"Yes!"

The queen sighed and could only nod in response.

But seeing Li Jing smiling a little obscenely, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know if he was wrong to do this!

Won't push her cousin into the fire pit!

Li Jing didn't plan to choose too many women to enter the palace this time, so he flipped through the roster, randomly ordered the other four, and circled the names of the selected show girls with a red pen.

Then, the list was given to the female officer to be read, and the girl whose name was called stayed, and the other show girls followed the other female officer to leave.

Honestly, it's not fair to the other girls to be drafted!

But this is the emperor's right, the right to do whatever he wants, he can choose whoever he wants, it's so capricious, it's just play!

These selected show girls are all women who are not too noble, but they are also considered to be famous, but there is a gap between them and first-class celebrities and top celebrities!

These selected show girls will be titled and become the emperor's official concubines, but Li Jing will not be so anxious, and will wait for them to grow up completely, and then it will not be too late to do it!

As for those who are not selected, they will stay in the palace for a period of time and receive a higher level of treatment than ordinary palace maids, and those who are famous will be treated as female officials.

Of course, these women have not been out of the ordinary, maybe one day the emperor will be interested, and their opportunity will come, or the emperor will give them to a certain prince as a concubine, which is also a good place to go!

Since you can't become the emperor's pillow person, it is also a good choice to retreat to the second best thing and become the prince's concubine!

The draft of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Palace, although it is not held every year, is also held every few years, and these unsuccessful people still have the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor again.

It's just that every time the draft is held, there will be newcomers joining, and newcomers are younger, more beautiful and more substantial.

Therefore, most of the show girls who failed to be selected can wait until a certain age, be released from the palace, and find a good family to marry, Datang is still very humane in this regard, and will not trap you in the palace for the rest of your life.

Like them, who were sent to the palace because of the draft, as long as they no longer participate in the draft, they can leave the palace and return to their own homes to live in the next draft.

If you don't want to go home, these undrafted girls, in addition to participating in the draft again, have another way to climb up, that is, to become female officials, and they will also have a place in the palace!

The five selected show girls entered the hall and bowed to Li Jing and Queen Yingying: "The concubine is waiting to meet the saint and the queen!" ”

"Excuse yourself from being polite...... Empress Dowager Dou smiled slightly, and ordered: "Come on, give a seat!" ”

"The concubine is waiting for the grace of the saint!"

The show girls bowed in unison, and then they were led by the maids to sit on the stool on the right-hand side.

This is convenient for Li Jing to observe the appearance of these five show girls.

Li Jing's selection of concubines is not so complicated, and it is much simpler and faster than the process of beauty pageants in later generations.

The five show girls in front of him are all minors who have not yet grown up, Li Jing really can't be interested in them now, among the five show girls, they are the youngest in the Yang family, and the other four will grow up in another year, and now they are beginning to take shape!

Li Jing carefully looked at the five show girls in front of him, all of them were beautiful embryos, with well-proportioned bodies, and one of them was the most beautiful, with a pair of watery Carslan eyes!

Li Jing couldn't help but take a few more looks, especially the big-eyed girl of Carslan, Li Jing's gaze stayed on her for the longest time.

This made the queen think that Li Jing was in love with someone else, and there was nothing wrong with saying this, but Li Jing's picture was not the same thing as what the queen thought!

"If the saint likes it, the palace will send her to the saint's dormitory tonight."

The queen said softly.

"No need, I just think she's good-looking, what's more, they don't know the rules of the palace yet, so let them follow the queen to learn some rules, and I'll be lucky again!"

Although Li Jing wants to correct the Fa, Kazlan big-eyed girl, but not now, she has to wait for her to grow up, and then eat it to taste!

Do it now, it's a beastly behavior, and Li Jing can't get over the hurdles in his heart.

They are all wearing a light blue skirt, whether it is the palace, dignitaries, or even market women, this is a costume that everyone in the Tang Dynasty can wear.

The Han people have a strong sense of paranoia about clothing.

In this era of left or right placket is related to Huayi's defense.

How to make clothes and accessories not only down, but also decent and eye-catching, has become a compulsory course for people.

In this day and age, wearing the wrong clothes can be annoying at best, and you may lose your life if you are responsible!

Although Datang is tolerant and open, it does attach great importance to the status of the dynasty, what kind of identity, what kind of clothes to wear, there are clear regulations.

The consequences of wearing the wrong clothes are not something that anyone can afford.

Li Jing glanced at it casually, and his gaze finally stayed on the youngest Yang.

Although in later generations, at a young age like her, she may still be in elementary school, but in ancient times, the legal age of marriage was generally small, and you can get married at the age of twelve or thirteen!

Emperor Taizong's fourth son, Puwang Li Tai, was thirteen years old and married the eleven-year-old princess Yan Wan.

In many remote rural areas, it is not uncommon for a child bride at the age of seven or eight, who became a mother at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Even, many sick aristocrats and merchants, who loved this tone, bought many young girls to meet their sick needs.

Li Jing is not a pervert, in his past life and in this life, he can't do anything to push underage girls, he is a good young man who has received nine years of compulsory education.

However, the moment he saw Yang's, Li Jing had to sigh with emotion, Li Chongjun, a short-lived ghost, was really blessed, and he was able to marry such a beautiful wife in his previous life.

Although Li Chongjun does not have this Yanfu in this life, it doesn't matter, my brother will help you take care of her, and it will be better than her being widowed in the future!

In history, there are not too many records of this crown princess, only that her surname is Yang, and she doesn't even have a name, so it is conceivable that after Li Chongjun's failure, life will definitely be difficult.

A woman like Yang, let me save you!

Hide her well, cultivate it slowly, and eat it when it's cooked!

Li Jing can't take care of the children, so let the queen take care of them.

Li Jing's gaze moved away from Yang and glanced at the others.

The other four were also very happy with him.

"From today onwards, you are my concubines, and I have decided to give you a name!"

Li Jing looked at the five people.

The five of them bowed and said, "Thank you for the name!"

It is their honor to be given a name by the emperor!

Li Jing instructed Ximenyang to fetch pen and paper, give each of the five of them a name, write it down, and distribute it to them.

The name Yang got was Sihui.

The name that Carslan's big-eyed girl gets: Luxi.

The other three got ......

"Saints, what title should I give them? Please also ask the saint to decide!"

The queen said to Li Jing.

The next is the most important link, waiting for Li Jing to give them titles, which also represents their status in the harem and related treatment.

"What kind of title and grade did the selected show girls who entered the palace before give?"

Li Jing asked.

"Generally speaking, people like this who enter the palace through the draft should be awarded to Cai Nu!"

The queen replied.

Cai Nu is the lowest rank among the emperor's eighty-one imperial wives, and it is also the existence with the lowest rank among all concubines.

"In this way, then directly canonize them as talents, what does the queen think?"

Li Jing directly promoted them from eighth-grade women to fifth-grade talents, and did not forget to ask the queen's opinion.

This kind of thing, the queen naturally will not have an opinion, as long as Li Jing is happy, she can't have too many ideas to directly seal the concubine, at most persuade Li Jing to think more.

Even if Li Jing really has the idea of sealing the concubine, the ministers will have different opinions, and the imperial history will even thank Li Jing for a gorgeous article according to the situation, whether to think about it more.

After all, the title of the concubine who was given to Zhengyipin as soon as he entered the palace was not very good for newcomers who entered the palace!

"The saint decides on this matter, I have no opinion!"

The queen laughed.

"Since the queen has no opinion, then it is decided to canonize them as talents."

In the end, it was decided by Li Jing that the five show girls in front of him were all named talents, with the rank of five grades, and were given corresponding treatment, because they were not familiar with the rules of the palace, they all had queens to train.

"Chiyang, first lead these five show girls to the dormitory of the main palace, find a place for them to live near the dormitory of the main palace, and wait for the edict of canonization."

The queen said to herself, and the edict of canonization was still drafted by the Zhongshu people, and after the three provinces confirmed that it was correct, the people from Shangshu Province sent it over to read the edict of canonization.

"No!"

Chiyang hurriedly took the order, turned around and came to the five women, bowed, and said, "Several masters, please come with the slaves!" ”

After saying that, Chiyang walked outside.

After the five show girls saluted Li Jing and the queen, they turned around and followed Chiyang to the palace where the queen lived.
