The Emperor's Favorite: Miss Jinghong II

Chapter 29 The Eve of the Draft [2]

Whenever it was time to select a beautiful girl, the Ministry of Households would report to the emperor first, and after the decree was approved, it would immediately write a document to govern the yamen, and the grassroots officials at all levels of each tribe would submit the roster of girls of the right age layer by layer.

It is collected at the Metropolitan Yamen, and finally reported to the emperor by the household department, and the emperor decides the date of selection.The beautiful women selected by various ethnic groups will be sent to the capital in advance by mule cart.

After the show girls arrived in the capital, they sat on mule carts on the day before they entered the palace to be selected, and were arranged by the leaders and reminders of their own clans, which was called "car platooning", and the order was arranged according to the rank of each tribe.

At the front are the relatives of the concubines in the palace, followed by the women who were previously selected and kept their badges, and the women who were re-elected this time, and finally the young women who were newly selected this time.Distribute the bus at sunset, enter Di'an Gate at night, wait outside the Shenwu Gate and wait for the palace gate to open before getting off. Under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, enter the Shunzhen Gate in order.

The Royal Garden, Tiyuan Hall, Jingyixuan and other places in the palace were once places for viewing draft girls.

Generally, only two races are read every day, and they are matched according to the number of women from each race participating in the draft.Usually there are five or six people in a row for the emperor or queen mother to read, but sometimes there are three or four people in a row, or even a row of one person.If there is a fancy person, leave her name tag, which is called keeping a tag.

If you don't choose it, put down the sign.Then, the show girls who keep the sign are re-elected regularly, and those who do not keep the re-election are also called putting down the sign.

The show girls who are selected again after re-election have two fates: one is to be given to the royal prince or the clan's family; the other is to stay in the palace and serve the emperor around, becoming a candidate for concubine.

If you become a candidate for a concubine, the procedure will be more complicated. After the first "quote", you have to "review" many times. Those who have "named" are selected to leave a sign; those who have "named" are the emperor. Personally choose to leave a sign.Finally, there will be an inspection of "staying in the palace", and a few of the beautiful women staying in the palace will be selected, and the rest will put up their signs.

The standard of the draft in this dynasty is one is character and the other is family status.Most of the titles are named "Kenren", "Xiaoci", "Wen Gong" and "Shushen".
This is the teaching of the nuns in the palace before, so my fate is only predestined, and I can't let go of it alone.

So there is no point in pursuing whether they are sincere or not, it will only increase troubles.

Occasionally, a few early-ying cries can be heard in the yard, so loud and clear through the sky.

The Eighth Prince said, if I don't want to enter the palace, I will definitely not force it. At this moment, I feel more and more ridiculous.

Didn't I enter the palace for the purpose of becoming a concubine one day, and because I came out of the palace, I raised my family status so that the prince can also be honored?

I was thinking wildly by myself, sitting in the yard and walking around.

"Don't mess around next time."

"En?" I turned around and saw the prince looking at me with his hands up and down.

"Brother-in-law." This was the first time I wanted to call him that from the bottom of my heart. I looked at him, dressed neatly and solemnly in court attire. This man should love his sister, but their love is always so cheap.

"Take good care of my sister for me." I said this almost in tears, but the prince still looked at me without saying a word, his eyes were firm, and he nodded.He didn't say anything, he turned and left, I never know what this man who only left me behind was thinking.

In the next few days, I was arranged to study intensively. It should be said that thanks to the blessing of the imperial concubine Rengong, he found the best teaching nun in the palace for me, and taught me the etiquette in the palace.

Finally, the nanny allowed me to rest for a while, and I hurriedly ran out of the Hanyu Pavilion with Li Chang. I have seen the skill of that old nanny, and I was finally able to get rid of her.
