    Although the capital city in January is not as cold as Liaodong, snowflakes will occasionally fall, and the silvery white snowflakes make this ancient capital even more desolate.  It has been five days since Zhang Yan came to the capital. During these five days, she lived in an imperial manor in the west of the city with girls from all over the country.  Although she felt uneasy, the environment here was pretty good, which made Zhang Yan feel a lot calmer.  "Miss, our father-in-law is here." Zhang Yan was sitting in the room reading a book, when Xiaohuan ran over in a hurry and came to Zhang Yan's side, breathing heavily.  "You! You are always so irritable. This is not home. You can't be like this anymore. If you break any rules, I can't protect you, you know?" Zhang Yan grew up in the Shenzhai compound. Her biological mother died early.  The person beside her is this personal maid. Although they are called master and servant, their relationship is like that of sisters.  Seeing Xiaohuan like this, I couldn't help but feel worried.  "Miss, Huan'er knows." Xiaohuan winked playfully, and Xiaohuan said with a smile: "Miss, a father-in-law is here. I heard that the selection is about to begin." Looking at the excited Xiaohuan, Zhang Yan  He sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice: "You can't make the decision on many things, just wait!" It didn't take long before I heard footsteps outside the house, and three eunuchs walked in.  The leader was a eunuch in his forties, followed by two young eunuchs.  Gently shaking the whisk in his hand, the eunuch asked seriously: "Who is here?" The little eunuch following him flipped through the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Back to Eunuch Cui, this is from  "Miss Zhang from Henan." Zhang Yan had already arrived not far from the eunuch. She glanced at the eunuch, gently helped her, and said softly, "I've seen you, father-in-law. Please get up, my dear."  Come on, maybe you will be the master one day, but those of us who are slaves don't have this blessing." The eunuch seemed very kind, smiled at Zhang Yan, and said softly.  Glancing at Zhang Yan, the eunuch said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, although I said that, there are still procedures that should be followed." As the father-in-law named Cui spoke, he spoke to the little eunuch behind him.  He gave a look as if he wanted to do something.  "I wonder what you need me to do?" Zhang Yan winked at Xiao Huan behind her and said softly.  "Girl, you don't have to do anything, just follow my instructions." At this time, the smile on Eunuch Cui's face had disappeared, and he looked businesslike.  "Okay, come with us!" What Zhang Yan didn't expect was that she would actually leave here. She quickly took the thing Xiaohuan handed over and gently put it into the hand of the eunuch surnamed Cui. It was a Cui  Green emerald pendant.  Xiao Huan on one side also put two silver ingots into the hands of the two young eunuchs. None of them spoke, as if this didn't happen.  Eunuch Cui touched the thing in his hand, slowly stuffed it into his sleeve, turned around and said to Zhang Yan: "Miss Zhang is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, gentle and virtuous. I think she will definitely be able to do it this time."  "Then thank you Eunuch Cui!" Zhang Yan smiled softly, with an inexplicable light shining in her eyes. It seemed that this young girl had a lot more.  But the smile on his face became even brighter.  On this day, Zhang Yan and some young girls were examined. They only briefly checked their appearance. It was the eunuch named Cui who was in charge of their group.  One hundred girls form a group, standing according to age.  The eunuch surnamed Cui passed by them, taller, shorter, fatter, thinner, all of them were rejected, and a thousand people were wasted in this way.  The next day, the facial features examination was conducted, and the eunuch was still in charge.  Only this time the person in charge was not Eunuch Cui, but an older eunuch.  As on the previous day, groups of a hundred stood and looked closely at each girl's ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, waistline, shoulder width, etc. If there was any one area that failed, even if there was a mole on her body, she would be punished.  disuse.  Then let the girl report her home and listen to her voice to see if she stutters.  In this way, another two thousand people were killed.  On the third day, borrow a tool to measure whether the body is in proportion and see what its temperament is.  Anyone with thick and short wrists, enlarged toes, or frivolous behavior will not pass the test.  In this way, another thousand people will be wiped out.  Three days passed, and four thousand of the five thousand girls who came to the capital were wiped out, and there were still one thousand left.  Zhang Yan never expected the inspection on the fourth day, because it was a "naked inspection" on this day.  All the remaining one thousand girls were summoned to the palace to prepare for the marriage.  The old female eunuch took him to the secret room and pressed him into the room to check whether he was tall and smelled his armpits to see if there was body odor.  Finally, touch your whole body to see what it looks like.??Developed.  In this way, another 700 people were killed.  At this time, there were only three hundred girls left. Of course, Zhang Yan all passed these inspections and took a step towards that position.  At this point, the rest of the process is a bit long, long-term observation, focusing on temperament.  Three hundred selected girls stayed in the palace for a month to observe their living habits, speaking attitude, intelligence, and character.  The previous four procedures focus on observing "body", and this level focuses on "morality" and "wisdom".  Fifty girls with excellent moral, intellectual, and physical qualities were selected. These fifty girls were the concubines of Emperor Tianqi, which was the final result of this concubine selection.  From 5,000 people, 50 people were finally selected. In this way, they are exactly what the saying goes: "one in a hundred."  In the Ming Dynasty, this "elimination method" was probably used to select palace concubines.  In the following days, Zhang Yan will live in the palace with the remaining three hundred girls. A month may not be long or short, but this month is the month that determines the fate of her life.  But this time the concubine selection is different from the previous concubine selections. This time we have to select a very important person, that is, the queen of the world.  There are two flowers in bloom, one on each side.  The concubine selection was in full swing, but Emperor Tianqi was lying on the dragon chair in the imperial study room a little bored at this time, with only Chen Hong standing next to him.  Li Lan, who had always been beside Emperor Tianqi, was no longer here and went to Shuqing Palace to participate in the election.  Of course, she is only going to see the final steps of living for one month, and I believe it is just a process.  The person in charge of the final election was Liu Kejing, the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony. Emperor Tianqi did not believe that this old eunuch dared to swipe Li Lan. He was really an old longevity star and arsenic.  Three flowers bloomed, one on the outside. At this time, a prison car came at the gate of the capital. Xiong Tingbi, who had traveled a long distance, finally arrived in the capital.  Today the first chapter is here, please recommend, collect, and all kinds of things!  Thank you brothers for the reward. I won¡¯t list the names here. I will keep them in mind. Thank you!
