Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 464

Capital City, Department of Rituals.

In the vast compound, three thousand beautiful girls stood neatly. These beautiful girls were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old women, pure and beautiful, with good faces, and they were the most beautiful age.

These are the beautiful girls carefully selected and sent by various prefectures and counties. They are arranged there according to their height and age, waiting for the selection by the inner prisoner and the stable woman.

Several white-faced and clean-bearded men followed behind the tall, white-faced waiter, and checked the beautiful girls one by one.

The inner eunuchs will start with the five sense organs and check whether there is any irregularity in the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, and back of the beautiful women.

If there is one place that is not thorough, it will be eliminated immediately.

You have to listen to the voice after seeing the facial features, so you can't speak clearly.Therefore, the chosen ones were asked to state their place of origin, name, age, etc.

If the voice is muddy, the voice is rough, or those who respond to panic will be eliminated.

"You, report your name, place of origin, and age."

"Zhang Xiu, from Suzhou Prefecture, 15 years old."

"Zhang Xiu, come out."

This woman was directly brushed off because of her lack of height, but she was also a beautiful person, her appearance was not bad at all.

The young eunuch with a serious face pointed to the few behind and said, "Report in order!"

"Cheng Yunjin, a native of the capital, fifteen."

"Wang Hanyan, a native of the capital, fourteen."

"Zhang Cuihua, a native of Yangzhou, fourteen."

Yuan Bao stood by, whispered a few words to the inner eunuch, and marked Wang Guangyang's granddaughter.

On the third day, the eunuch took a ruler to measure the woman's hands and feet, and then asked them to walk dozens of steps each.

Those with shorter wrists, larger toes, or less aggressive behavior will be eliminated.After three days, there were only about 1000 people left.

According to the rules, Mrs. Wen led them into the secret room one by one, and conducted more detailed observation and selection, such as probing their breasts, sniffing their armpits, and feeling their texture. After screening in this way, there were only about 200 people.

These 200 people have been re-selected to check whether their facial features are flawed, whether their hair is smooth and shiny, whether their skin is rough, whether their waists are thick, whether their necks are beautiful, whether they have hunchbacks on their backs, and whether their shoulders are too broad.

Wen Po passed by them, looked from top to bottom, and checked the buttocks, which was a must.In order to continue the royal blood, this must be strict.

There are more than 100 people who pass the physical examination and appearance. After all, the base is only [-].

According to the rules, the minimum is five thousand, but this time Zhu Biao's goal is not in the beauty pageant, so the base number has been reduced.

At this time, several inner eunuchs nodded and bowed to the tall man.

Cheng Yunjin looked around and only heard that they called that Tang He, who was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and the clothes he wore were enough to show off his official status.

Her father was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu, and now he has been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. According to her childhood memories, the Son of Heaven should be very heroic now.

The draft is a very strict matter, not every woman is willing to enter the palace, and many will marry immediately in order to avoid the draft.

But she is willing, waiting for this day, has been waiting for 11 years, 11 years of preparation.

Hearing the inner supervisor's lecture, all the beautiful girls did not dare to raise their eyes and lowered their heads.

Tang Xian stood at the front, and the inner eunuch began to roll the rolls one by one.

The first show girl came out and saluted Tang Xian with a soft voice: "The show girl Zhang Guihua, a native of Xi'an Prefecture, is 15 years old this year, and her father's name is Zhang Erhe."

"En." Tang Xian nodded, and the inner supervisor ticked it off.

The internal warden said loudly, "Next."

"Beautiful girl Bai Xuehua, Luoyang...everyone..."

"How old are you?" the eunuch asked loudly.

This question made the woman tremble in fright, and she fell limp on the ground.

"Okay, next one." The inner eunuch rushed off impatiently, waving his hand to signal to tick off the name and eliminate him.

Although the articulation, voice and demeanor have been tested, this time it is the people around the emperor to check.

The interns did it again.

Tang Xian came today with a mission.He wants to ensure that Wang Guangyang's granddaughter is selected.

When it was Cheng Yunjin's turn, just as she was about to speak, the servant smiled and said, "Then what is your name Hua'er?"

"The beautiful girl Cheng Yunjin, Nanzhili, a native of the capital, is 15 years old this year, and her father, Cheng Gang, is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Cheng Yunjin came out and dealt with it calmly.

Tang Xian, who was sitting there looking at it, couldn't help but sit up and looked carefully.Although this woman's appearance is not as good as Concubine Shen Ding's, but her figure is really comparable.

This woman was dressed in a light-colored green dress, with flower vines entwined on her cuffs, and the skirt was in full bloom. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were clear.

The daughter of Cheng Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is so elegant, I have never heard of it.It is this pair of big feet, but it looks very attractive.

Bigfoot has the upper hand.

A few years ago, for the sake of Empress Ma, Emperor Hongwu drafted all the people who entered the palace as natural feet.

But today, Tang Xian's main concern was Wang Guangyang's granddaughter, so he didn't pay attention to Cheng Yunjin.

"Beautiful girl Wang Hanyan, born in the capital, 14 years old this year, her father Wang Wentai, editor of Hanlin."

Tang Xian finally waited for the right owner, exchanged glances with the eunuch, and then ignored the rest.

Shangyi Wei Zhili in the palace discussed with Tang Xian carefully, and confirmed the emperor's request, and then followed the request sternly.

Wen Po checked before, and now the remaining female officer Wei Zhili came to check, she must not lose her sense of proportion when she works for the empress.

The people were led into a room with no windows on all sides.

A row of ten people.

The female official Wei Zhili led the maids to start the inspection.

"Everyone, please take off your clothes and don't keep any of them."

Cheng Yunjin was a little shy, but she had already taken it off once before, so she didn't hesitate anymore.Although she is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, many things are unknown.

After the girls took off their clothes, the female officer lit a candle and began: "Check."

As for Wang Hanyan, Wei Zhili knew that the emperor and empress had decided on him, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and checked Wang Hanyan carefully.

Check skin for scarring, smoothness, and body shape.

Another court lady took a jade ruler to measure the neck, double peaks, and waist, and another court lady recorded it.

"Hmm..." Cheng Yunjin whispered, the maid measured her chest with a jade ruler, and after touching it, she said: "The pearl is round and jade-like, fragrant and soft, it is the top grade."

"Girl, please turn around."

The lines of the back, and even all the hairs should be carefully recorded, and it is better to choose the least.

Afterwards, Wei Zhili smelled each of them carefully again, and it was best if they smelled good.

Then they entered in order, and everyone was brought to the back of the screen, saying: "Girl, lie down and arch your legs."

Wei Zhili said: "Check the shape, color and smell, hair, chastity..."

Wei Zhili glanced regretfully at Cheng Yunjin next to him, and said to the female officer, "That girl is the most qualified and outstanding girl I have ever seen since the draft, what a pity."

Then he walked to Wang Hanyan's side and said to Wang Hanyan, "Girl Zhou Zheng, my son will definitely like it very much."

After all, it was appointed by the emperor and empress.

She is very upright?Cheng Yunjin looked at Wang Hanyan, the emperor likes her?
Cheng Yunjin felt a little disappointed. She waited for 11 years and prepared for 11 years. It turns out that the emperor likes that.

This is the end, and the next step is to enter the palace for selection. Since the emperor likes such a woman, he will definitely lose the selection.

Cheng Yunjin was in a daze, and stood in the courtyard with the other beautiful girls.

Wei Zhili nodded to Tang Xian: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Tang Xian nodded.

"Girls, we are going to enter the palace next, everyone go back and get ready, then we will enter the palace from here, and we will be in the imperial city for the next half month."

When they entered the imperial city, they were inspected for their temperament, intelligence, female popularity, and character, and then dozens of people were screened out, and the rest were selected by the emperor.

The most outstanding one was named a noble concubine, and the others were named concubines.

After the selection of the emperor, the rest will be inspected by the empress and empress dowager, and assigned to those princes and clans.

The capital city, the backyard of Chengfu.

Cheng Yunjin thought back to what happened 11 years ago, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and his father was an ordinary scholar, they watched the founding ceremony together:

At that time, Da Mingzi was still the prince.

"Father, mother, don't want it."

"Mother, mother, can you sell it to that big brother?"

When Cheng Gang saw that his doll was referring to the current Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he was so frightened that he immediately covered the doll's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Later, when father entered the court, she often heard the things the prince did, as well as the women around him.

Although she was young, she silently wrote it down in her heart and strictly demanded herself.

"I don't know where to go, Taohua still smiles at the spring breeze."

Cheng Yunjin muttered to herself, she knew that she would definitely lose the election, because the female official said that the emperor liked it...

That Wang Hanyan is the woman chosen by the emperor.

Cheng Gang passed by and saw his daughter in a daze: "Yunjin, you haven't given up after all these years, listen to your father, there is no freedom in the palace, and father will find you a good husband."

"Father, I don't want it." Cheng Yunjin turned and left.

　Ask for a ticket.
