Chapter 496 Counting into the Palace ([-])

After the development of the previous dynasties, the draft system has fully matured.

It is not so easy to arrange a person to enter the palace without anyone noticing in a mature system.

But Linglong had already made up her mind, and the plan was divided into four steps.

The first step is to obtain Ziling's household registration information, get her household registration up, and hand it over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites for review.

Now that Ziling's household registration information has been obtained, this step is easy. Ziling's father, Wang Zhanpeng, is a second-rank official and fully meets the conditions for the draft.

As long as the real account information is reported, the review by the Ministry of Rites will be passed directly.

The second step is to start the formal audition. To participate in the audition, the show girls must be present in person, because the mother has to have a body check, and only perfect women can enter the palace, so as to keep the purity of the royal blood.

This step is not difficult to say, easy to say.

Linglong first asked someone to find a woman who was similar in appearance and figure to Zi Ling to enter the palace, and first passed the checkup of the nurse, and then went to the draft.

The empress dowager is in charge of presiding over the draft, and all showgirls must first pass her selection before they are eligible to become concubines.

The Empress Dowager was eager for Ziling to enter the palace, so of course it was a big release for this level.

Even if someone occasionally compares the identity information and says that the woman who arranged to come in looks a bit like Ziling, as long as the queen mother says she is Ziling, then she is Ziling.

Just kidding, who dares to refute what the queen mother said, isn't that courting death?
Therefore, the most difficult level of the draft, because of the presence of the queen mother, became the best level to pass.

In the third step, to be selected as a show girl, the painter of Ruyi Pavilion should make a portrait, and then the emperor will choose the concubine according to the portrait.

Because they were screened by the queen mother before, and the queen mothers who were in charge of the selection in the past all came from Gongdou. When they were young, they often fought wits with concubines, and they hated those women who were seductive and seductive.

Therefore, the show girls selected by the queen mother are generally not very beautiful. At this time, the painter is required to paint their portraits and beautify them.

Portraits for show girls are actually the trickiest part of the draft process.

In order to become the emperor's concubines, many mediocre beautiful women would spend a lot of money to buy painters to embellish them after they were selected.

Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties, is the most beautiful family member in the harem of Emperor Han Yuan. Just because he didn't spend money to bribe the painter Mao Yanshou, Mao Yanshou painted him as an ugly monster.

Later, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, which belonged to the Han Dynasty, went to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor, as a vassal, and asked himself to be his son-in-law.

As a result, on the day Zhaojun left the fortress, Emperor Hanyuan saw the real Wang Zhaojun and was shocked for a moment, his eyeballs almost protruded, but the emperor could not lose his promise, so he could only watch such a beautiful woman marry the Huns.

Afterwards, Emperor Han Yuan ordered a thorough investigation into the matter of the portrait, and as a result, the painter Mao Yanshou was found. In a rage, he executed Mao Yanshou for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Linglong spent a lot of money to buy the painter of Ruyi Pavilion, and transformed Ziling into a great beauty. The more beautiful the better, the best is so beautiful that the emperor would drool when he saw it.

The fourth and final step is to let the emperor see Zi Ling's portrait.

Every draft is not only to select concubines for the emperor, to enrich the harem, to extend the heirs, but also to tie marriages for the children of the royal family.
