Some people have been chasing it since the beginning and watched it grow. Some people left because of the addition of v, some stayed, and some joined later. , but no matter what, I am very grateful to everyone for your support.

The beginning of the new article is attached: When the ancients looked up at the sky, the brightest star was Ziwei star. The stars around Ziwei star surrounded Ziweiyuan, which is the residence of the legendary Tiandi family.The emperor called himself the son of heaven, and the projection of Ziweiyuan in the world is the residence of the emperor's family - the Forbidden City.

This is a picture scroll showing the grand court meeting in the Forbidden City on the first day of the Lunar New Year.The princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as envoys from all over the world, were waiting on the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and people were waiting for the ceremony to begin.However, the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is empty. Where is the emperor?
Over the layers of palace walls, we saw a harem that was quite different from the previous dynasty.

Here, the princes and grandchildren are as keen on the game of setting off firecrackers as children outside the palace.

Here, the empress and concubines are like mothers outside the palace, caring for their children.

Here, the emperor enjoys family happiness like his father outside the palace.

The Forbidden City is bounded by Qianqing Gate, with the former dynasty to the south and the harem to the north.The harem is composed of Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, Jiaotai Palace and six palaces in east and west. This is the emperor's home.

The emperor's bedroom is the Qianqing Palace, the empress's is the Kunning Palace, and between the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace is the Jiaotai Palace.It means "dryness is the sky, kun is the earth, heaven and earth are in harmony, yin and yang are in harmony".For the first time, the phoenix appeared in the decoration patterns of the palaces of the Forbidden City in the Jiaotai Palace.The names of the East and West Six Houses also mostly imply that men and women have sex and have children.

In the winter of Kangxi's 20th year, just after the celebration ceremony of the empire and the canonization ceremony of the harem, the harem draft was ushered in every three years.Young girls from all over the country gathered in the Imperial Garden.Some of them will become the concubines of the Qing Dynasty, and they will write a rich and colorful stroke in history, and some will fade away without a trace like a dream.but at the moment
They are all called "show girls".

Most of the empresses and concubines in the past dynasties in China came from the families of noble officials.However, in order to consolidate the marriage of imperial power, there is often a greater political crisis lurking.In the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering with power, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the old customs and clearly stipulated that the imperial concubine should be selected from the people.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the emperor's concubines mainly came from the Eight Banners Xiunv.According to the regulations of the Shunzhi Dynasty, all the daughters of Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners officials, aged between 13 and 17, must participate in the draft every three years.Among them, not only queens and concubines were produced, but also Fujin was selected for royal clans such as princes and grandsons, princes and princes.Only those who are over 17 years old and have not been selected can marry separately.A strict system ensures the priority of royal marriages.

The East has just revealed the whiteness of the morning sun, but dozens of girls in palace costumes have already dressed neatly, and they are walking towards the Shenwu Gate in the Forbidden City in a neat line under the leadership of several senior nuns. Their ultimate goal is Yanhui Pavilion, the place where the Qing Dynasty selected beautiful women. After the primary selection and elimination by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only a few dozen people remained in the draft army of nearly a thousand people.When reading and selecting, they follow the order of the Eight Banners, usually seven or eight people stand in a row, and are selected by the emperor and empress dowagers.The names of the selected women are written in a list for each row, and kept in the palace for storage. This kind of list is called "show women's volleyball list" in the archives.

Zhang Jia's Fu Ning is not like other beautiful women. She stepped into the deep palace backyard of the Forbidden City for the first time. She was shocked by the majesty and magnificence of the inner court and looked around. She just looked out of Chaoyang Hall with her beautiful neck held high.

The Forbidden City is really big. They set off early in the morning and passed through many palace gates. They still haven't reached the Yanhui Pavilion, but she heard from Jiaoyin that the Yanhui Pavilion is only at the corner of the harem. How big is it?
Now the sun has fully risen, there is no cloud in the blue sky, and the golden light is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.Funing admired the sun almost admiringly, just because it is the ruler of all things in the world.She looked over the crowd and looked into the distance, the world was extremely vast.

Suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes behind him, accompanied by the eunuch's unique high-pitched voice anxiously and fearfully from far to near, all the beautiful women couldn't help but look at each other, who is it?Such presumptuous laughter in the harem where everyone is holding their breath.

Soon everyone saw the answer: a handsome black horse carrying a purple-clothed young man galloped towards him like lightning, and a huge whirlwind blew up beside the crowd. Many innocent girls raised their curious heads and watched Looking at this young man chasing the wind on a horse, the bolder ones were already blushing and biting each other's ears to guess the true identity of this handsome young man. From his tone of voice, he also roughly understood that riding a horse in the Forbidden City is an honor that can only be enjoyed by one's status.

The acolytes who accompanied them turned pale with fright when they saw the person on the horse, and they sternly told the girls to bow their heads and kneel.
