In terms of appearance alone, Wang was truly stunning. She attracted the attention of countless people as soon as she appeared on the stage. Even Ma Chun, the eunuch in charge of the royal affairs room, had shining eyes and stared at Wang without moving.
The eyes of the other women in the square were different. Qin Kan could easily understand their eyes. It was a jealous look that wanted to draw a Go chess board on Wang's face with a knife.
The elimination rate of the concubine selection is very high, no less than the auditions of some future programs. Among the thousands of women to be selected, only fifty can enter the second round of selection according to the system. Sparrows fly on the branches like phoenixes. The difficulty is similar to that of a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. In such a cruel competitive environment, a charming and charming scourge like Wang suddenly appeared. How could so many women with the dream of phoenix not get rid of her and quickly get rid of her?
Standing in the square in front of Cheng'an Gate, Ms. Wang faced thousands of jealous or amazed eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled. It was obvious that she was very confident in her appearance. She raised her delicate hand and brushed the quilt unintentionally. Her hair was blown away, and a trace of imperceptible pride flashed between her brows and eyes.
Although he really doesn¡¯t want to admit it, Qin Kan has to say that in terms of appearance, the Wang family can be regarded as ¡°standing out among the crowd¡± at this time.
The chickens were very unhappy. In fact, Qin Kan was not very happy either. In ancient times, there was such a thing as "burning the harp and boiling the crane", which was a disgrace to the scenery. If you think about it carefully, the crane must have been too high-profile, and people had to kill it and pluck it out. Cook it quickly.
Jiang Bin was very happy. He stood respectfully behind Mao Cheng and Qin Kan, but he quietly raised his eyes, and his eyes met Wang's in mid-air. The two pursed their lips at the same time, knowing each other, and then they quickly He shifted his gaze, acting as if he had never met him before.
Qin Kan turned his head and looked at Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites. Mao Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang for the first time. Then his eyes were filled with admiration, and he nodded with a smile while stroking his long beard.
"She is truly stunning in the world. She always looks good with heavy and light make-up. Not bad. She is a good match for His Majesty" Mao Cheng praised with a smile.
Qin Kan smiled and nodded in agreement, and turned his head to look at Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin's expression became more and more overjoyed. Seeing Qin Kan looking at him with a smile on his face, Jiang Bin hurriedly gave Qin Kan a bow, which was quite a salute. meaning.
Qin Kan nodded silently and turned around. The corner of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.
Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession. The man named Jiang is obviously in the wrong profession. What kind of official should he be? Seeing how high-end his pimp is, he is born to be a teapot. Why do people always fail to understand themselves correctly?
¡¡¡¡
At three quarters past noon, the bells from the Bell and Drum Tower rang, and the noise in the square stopped. Thousands of beauties lined up neatly and stood in the square, facing the different looks of the surrounding officials, eunuchs and sergeants. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, they filed into the palace gate.
Qin Kan sighed. Showing a gentle smile, he asked Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, to go first. Mao Cheng hurriedly gave in. After being polite, the two entered side by side. Ma Chun, the eunuch in charge of the Jingshi room, followed behind with a smile. As for Zhu Houzhao, who was brought back from the Xuanfu Jiang Bin, the guerrilla general, could only walk at the end with lowered eyebrows.
The location for choosing the concubine is set at the Meridian Gate Square, after entering from Cheng'an Gate. It took half an hour to walk to get there, but I don¡¯t know which weird place was chosen. Meridian Square is where courtiers received their sticks. From the Hongwu Year to the Zhengde Year, countless ministers who offended Long Yan were killed with sticks in this square. Liu Jin It's still very serious during times of chaos. If a person with psychic powers can take a closer look. There must be many naked and loyal ministers floating around in the square with endless resentment. It is really not very particular to choose a concubine in a place like this.
Under the command of the young eunuch, thousands of women waiting to be selected lined up in a neat square array in the square. Four imperial chairs were arranged in a row on the east side of the square. Ma Chun politely invited Mao Cheng and Qin Kan to sit down. Soon, a young eunuch served them tea and exquisite cakes.
The audition work is very tedious. It looks like all kinds of birds are singing and flowers are blooming, but in fact it is very hard work. The women were in groups of five, waiting for the young eunuch to call their names, and then they stood in a row in front of the four concubine-selecting envoys. Qin Kan, Mao Cheng and the other four first looked at their place of origin and origin, and then took a rough look at the five women. The person's appearance and figure, and at the same time secretly pay attention to the demeanor and temperament of the five people when they walk.
At this moment, Qin Kan realized how misleading the love letters of later generations were to girls. Those careless and silly elder sisters or women with confused and cute personalities would never pass the first round of auditions. The emperor's first priority in choosing a concubine was virtue, manners and dignity. Second is appearance. The silly elder sister and the confused little cutie will be trampled under the feet of thousands of aloof women in the first round. They will go home without even seeing the emperor's face. They will never be able to meet the emperor in this life. any intersection.
Every five people are in a group. If there is a person with outstanding appearance or temperament, the four concubine selectors will exchange looks, and then the young eunuch will introduce the person into the Meridian Gate Palace, and the older female officer will examine her physically. This physical examination process is very It was so shameful that I entered a palace and stood naked. The female official came forward to check my skin, hair, jaw, and mouth.The nose, back, chest, legs, feet, etc. also need to be listened to by her voice. No matter how dignified or beautiful a woman is, it will not work if she is born with a male voice. In short, it is more stringent than selecting animals in the mule and horse market.
Of course, virginity is the first prerequisite. If it is found that any of the women to be selected is not perfect, not only will they be thrown into prison, but their parents and family will also be implicated, and they will not be able to turn over for three generations.
At the beginning, Qin Kan was still energetic and carefully selected. However, after selecting a hundred people, Qin Kan became a little less interested. He leaned on the back of the chair with half-closed eyes, crossed his legs and sipped the tea one sip at a time. , I don¡¯t know if I am asleep or not.
After all, she is someone else¡¯s wife. No matter how hard she chooses, she will not be able to climb into his bed at night. Qin Kan is always not very interested in things that are not good for him.
After choosing this for more than an hour, Qin Kan was dozing off in a daze when he suddenly heard the young eunuch calling in a sharp voice: "Wang family of Shunde Mansion, come forward¡ª¡ª"
Qin Kan finally opened his eyes and watched quietly as Wang walked out of the queue, her small waist swaying like a gentle breeze blowing willows as she walked to the front.
She once again received countless stunning looks. Mao Cheng stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile. Ma Chun squinted his eyes and grinned widely. Jiang Bin looked at the expressions of several concubine selectors with a hint of reserved joy on his face. , the light that flashes repeatedly in the eyes is not a radiant female lust, but a "chiluo" naked desire for power.
Qin Kan's face looked a little ugly. He raised his head and looked at the sky, with a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.
If Wang is allowed to successfully enter the second round, her meeting with Zhu Houzhao will be inevitable, and it is unknown what consequences will occur in the future.
There has been no movement in what he ordered Qian Ning to do until now. Qin Kan finally had a murderous intention towards Qian Ning. If Wang is selected as a concubine, he will kill Qian Ning to vent his anger!
"The Wang family of Shunde Prefecture is a good choice in terms of appearance and figure. What do you think, sir?" Ma Chun, the head of the Jingshi Room, asked with a smile.
Mao Cheng nodded, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face: "This woman's appearance is beyond words, she is one of the best in a hundred, but her demeanor and demeanor are a bit less dignified. This"
Ma Chun smiled and said: "This is a rare beauty. Your Majesty will be delighted when you see her. It is said that this selection of concubines is only for the heirs of the Heavenly Family. If Your Majesty is happy, you will not hesitate to be gracious and nectar. The Heavenly Family will be happy to have a dragon son in the future. It is also a blessing for our country, the Ming Dynasty. As for being immodest, after they are selected into the palace, they will have female officers to teach them manners and rules. In half a month, they can be completely transformed. Mr. Mao, after all, we should choose one to show to your majesty. Only the beauties are pleasing to the eye."
Jiang Bin said hurriedly: "My official position is humble and I speak lightly, but please forgive me for being presumptuous. I think what Eunuch Ma said is true."
After the two of them finished speaking, Mao Cheng had nothing to say. After a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, he finally nodded heavily.
Today's courtiers are too impatient. Starting from Emperor Xianzong, the heirs of the Tian family have not been prosperous. This is also a worry in the hearts of the ministers. By the Zhengde Dynasty, the emperor was nearly thirty years old, but he still had nothing to show for it. , if there are any unspeakable changes in the future, who should the throne be entrusted to?
Ma Chun was obviously very fond of the Wang family, and he didn¡¯t know if he was accepting Jiang Bin¡¯s benefits. When Mao Cheng nodded, Ma Chun smiled and asked Qin Kan, ¡°I wonder what Mr. Qin¡¯s intention is?¡±
Qin Kan was anxious, but at this moment, three of the four concubine selectors agreed. Besides, it was not appropriate to openly fall out with Jiang Bin at this time, so he could only say with a smile: "Everyone has agreed, so of course I have nothing to say. , let¡¯s choose the Wang family.¡±
Jiang Bin's face became even more happy when he heard this. An angry look flashed in Qin Kan's eyes, and he secretly thought about a bad idea in his heart. Since Qian Ning is unreliable, he might as well send someone to steal the Wang family out of the palace tonight. Let Tang Bohu deal with her and send her back. Anyway, the great talent of the Tang Dynasty is used to having sex for free. For the long-term peace and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a bad idea for Mr. Qin to play a guest role as a pimp. It is not unreasonable to even give the great talent of the Tang Dynasty a red envelope after he is done with whoring. negotiable¡¡
After thinking about it, I always feel that it¡¯s too much of a loss. Why do I have to give money and give red envelopes when I let others do the work? This thing was done a bit cheaply Mr. Qin raised his white right hand again, looked at his slender and beautiful fingers carefully, and quickly changed his mind to a new idea.
In fact, some things don¡¯t have to be so troublesome. If you can do it with one finger, why bother asking others to do it?
While her stomach was rumbling with bad water, Mrs. Wang had already made a fortune towards the four of them. Then she was bowed down and invited into the inner palace of the Meridian Gate by the attentive little eunuch. She moved lightly on her lotus steps and raised her jade legs lightly, and she was about to cross. That threshold represents glory, wealth, and thousands of favors.
At this time, a figure suddenly ran hurriedly from the south of the Meridian Gate Square. It was a young eunuch wearing a purple brocade robe. The young eunuch hurriedly walked to the four concubine selectors, saluted to the four, and then lowered his hands and said respectfully. : "Four lords, please forgive me. Just now, there was a message coming from outside the palace gate.News from Dongchang, Dongchang fans recently discovered the whereabouts of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Shunde Mansion. After several investigations in Dongchang, they finally discovered yesterday that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are closely related to Wang Jianzhi, the official of Shunde Mansion. The Dongchang stalls made a sudden interrogation overnight, and Wang Jianzhi recognized them. After receiving the confession, I heard that the Queen had gone to Beijing to choose a concubine. To prevent His Majesty from unexpected events, Dongchang sent an urgent notice to four adults and asked them to take part in the details. "
