The Emperor's Favorite: Miss Jinghong II

Chapter 28 The Eve of the Draft [1]

"Miss, you're finally awake." Eyes opened heavily, and my sister's magnified face was in sight, "Why are you so careless, next time you are not allowed to go out with that bastard Yun." concern,
I looked at Lishang, she played tricks on me, I knew that Lishang didn't tell my sister, I felt a little comfort in my heart.

"Thank you, sister." I looked at my sister with a smile. I would rather believe that she couldn't help herself, maybe it was really for my own good.

"Silly girl, you still need to talk about this between sisters, Lan Er, tell them to come in." The elder sister turned to Lan Er and ordered, "Elder sister brought you some medicinal materials, your health has always been bad, you have to be careful .”

After finishing speaking, several young eunuchs came in carrying boxes of various sizes. I put my hand on the back of my sister's hand, and it felt warm.

"Miss, look, there are cordyceps, deer antler, tiger penis, and ivory here." Li Chang said to me happily as if nothing had happened.

"What's the matter, miss." Li Chang ran over nervously, I could see that she was sincere, so I stopped being cold, "Why am I here?" I remember that I was lying in the wet wilderness, my head was shaking boom.

"It's the maidservant who lost the lady, and it's hard to explain why, I just said that she got separated, so the princess ordered someone to look for it, and the prince was there at the time, so..."

Li Shang paused, seeing that I still didn't have any expression changes, and then whispered to me, "It was the prince who brought you back. At that time, the prince's face was as hard as a rock, and everyone dared not make a sound, as if very Angry."

I am puzzled, what kind of reason is this, why is he angry?
"Help me up, I want to go outside for a walk." Regardless of my discomfort, I insisted on sitting up.

It's almost March, and the day of the draft is slowly approaching, but I know that I have a special status, and I don't have to be like those show girls, but when do I want to enter that golden cage?
Although I don't remember what happened before, I understand why I am here,

Grassland tribes often carry out political marriages with the orthodox forces in the Central Plains in order to enhance their own strength. Not to mention the struggles among the tribes, the most important thing right now is the issue of establishing a crown prince. My sister has already married the Eighth Prince as a political victim, and at this time I think my grandfather wants to borrow me again.

So why did the princes intentionally narrow the distance between me and me, not because of me, but because of the strength of the Ye family, a force that even the emperor had to think carefully about.

It's just that I was thinking that since ancient times when the emperor fell, how could others be allowed to snore, and the Ye family's prosperity will also be the prelude to its decline.

It's just that in the three-year draft, the struggles between the various tribes will turn into intrigues among women. Women will always be only ridiculous supporting roles in history, at least in this patriarchal era.

This draft must first strictly examine the clan and age. Those who are not in the clan want to participate in the draft, and they are in a better position; if they want to avoid the draft, they are asking for trouble.

All girls aged 14 to 16 in the family of the grassland tribe must participate in the triennial beauty selection, and girls over the age of 17 will no longer participate.

If the women of the ethnic group do not participate in the review and selection within the prescribed number of years due to various reasons, they still have to participate in the review and selection in the next session.Tribal women who have not been selected are not allowed to marry without permission even when they reach the age of 20.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs issued an order to all ethnic groups that all the outstanding girls who have not been selected must not get married first." According to the archives of this dynasty, the youngest age of the contestants is 11 years old, and the oldest can be as old as 20 years old.
