Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and stretched, with a leisurely look on his face. Nothing really happened these days, which made Zhu Youxiao feel a lot better.

The post-election process went very smoothly. It seems that the first four rounds have been completed. You should know that more than 5,000 people were selected during the audition. It is estimated that it will not take long for the results to be available.

The so-called audition refers to the selection of girls, because the queens of the Ming Dynasty were selected from common people. Of course, the so-called common people refer to real common people, and nobles are naturally not allowed.

The five thousand people selected were also selected from many people. It can be said that most of them are rare beauties.

I don’t know if it was to show off her status, but Mrs. Li, who moved into Cining Palace, put a lot of effort into post-election matters this time.

After entering the fifth round, Mrs. Li ran to stare at it personally. You know, according to the Ming Dynasty's post-election process, there is no need for this.

This is not the first time that the Ming Dynasty emperor has been elected. There are fixed rules and procedures after every election.

The first step is the "audition". When the emperor reaches the age of marriage, the palace will send eunuchs to select girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen across the country, and five thousand will be selected from them. The royal family will pay the travel expenses. Parents are sent to Beijing within the specified time for the second round of selection.

In the second round of selection, the eunuchs chose a larger venue, lined up every hundred girls in a row, sorted by age, and after some inspection, those girls who were too tall, short, fat, and thin were eliminated. In this round, about five points will be eliminated one.

The third round of selection was held on the second day of the primary election. The eunuchs lined up in the same way as on the first day and carefully inspected each person's facial features, hair, skin, voice, and deportment. As long as there was one item that did not meet the regulations, they would be eliminated. In each round, half of the remaining players will be eliminated.

The remaining approximately two thousand people will undergo the fourth round of selection. In this round, the eunuchs will not only use rulers to measure the girl's hands and feet, but also examine the girl's gait and charm. This step will eliminate another thousand girls. .

In the end, the remaining one thousand beauties were summoned to the palace to continue participating in the selection.

Zhu Youxiao heard that these thousand beauties had entered the palace the day before yesterday. He really wanted to see them. Let alone choose a queen for himself, even if it was a beauty pageant, the scale was huge!

But it's a bit early to go now. It's not his turn to play yet. If Zhu Youxiao wants to go, he can't go until the third selection.

The so-called selection of three is actually the last round of selecting a queen. After these thousand beauties enter the palace, they also have to go through selection. After entering the palace, the maids will lead the maids into the secret room to "explore their breasts, smell their armpits, Feel its texture and detect its chastity."

There should not be a trace of scar on the body, and the skin must be delicate and shiny. From these one thousand people, three hundred people were selected as the leaders of the palace maids.

The fifth level is for the eunuchs sent by the emperor to observe the three hundred beauties staying in the palace in detail for a month, and judge based on their temperament and speech whether they are gentle and honest, wise and virtuous.

Based on this, another 250 people were screened out, and the remaining 50 people were automatically promoted to concubines.

The penultimate round is "Select Three", in which the empress dowager or concubine selects three from fifty people for the emperor to appoint.

In the end, the emperor appoints a queen, and usually the two beauties who accompany him after "selecting three" will be named concubines.

All Zhu Youxiao has to do is choose three. Apart from that, he is not qualified to participate in such a big beauty pageant.

"Would you like to go take a look?" Zhu Youxiao murmured, touching his chin.

As for whether he will be remonstrated or not, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care. He will soon become a new foolish king, and his reputation will plummet. It doesn't matter if he has a romantic reputation. Anyway, these people are all

It can be arranged. For example, the story of Emperor Zhengde sleeping with another woman's wife, it is said that Zhengde went out to play, walked into a door and slept with the wife of another woman, in order to highlight his debauchery and immorality.

This is not over yet, he also said that in fact Emperor Zhengde did this not to really sleep with him, but to prove that he was not impotent because he had no children.

It is true that literati do not use knives to kill people. These people did not make much plans about Zhang Juzheng, such as Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li having an affair.

Anyway, for an emperor who is defined as a coward, you definitely can’t do it without some sexy news. In this case, you shouldn’t even think about avoiding it. You can’t avoid it anyway, so you might as well live according to your own ideas.

"Let's go and see those beautiful girls."

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood and was going to see his future women. He extended his hand to Chen Hong to accompany him.

At this time, Chen Hong had a look of pain on his face. He wanted to go see the show girls? What did he say? This is against the rules! Besides, these show girls haven't been selected yet, why go and watch them now?

However, Chen Hong did not dare to dissuade him. On such matters, it was very difficult for the emperor to dissuade him. If the emperor got tired of him, he would be doomed.

Chen Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the way, fearing that his prince would misunderstand him.

In later generations, many people thought that Xiunu lived in Chuxiu Palace, but this was not true. Although the name Chuxiu Palace sounds like that, Chuxiu Palace and Xiunu have nothing to do with each other.

Chuxiu Palace is actually one of the six western palaces in the Forbidden City. It is located to the east of Xianfu Palace and to the north of Yikun Palace. It is a place where concubines live, not for beautiful ladies.

Among these show girls, although a queen and two noble concubines will be born from them in the future, they are just show girls now. How can they be qualified to live in the Chuxiu Palace where only concubines can live?

You must know that in the palace, to be the lord of a palace, that is, to live alone in a palace, you must at least be a concubine.

So where does Xiu Nu live?

They live in side halls and some side rooms. They want to live in Chuxiu Palace, but that is impossible.

Zhu Youxiao only knew this in this life.

Under the leadership of Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao wandered around the palace. Naturally, he wandered around and arrived at the place where the beautiful ladies lived.

Then Zhu Youxiao saw a large group of beautiful girls. Yes, girls, extremely beautiful girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.

Of course, it is also suitable for Zhu Youxiao, because he is only sixteen years old.

However, Zhu Youxiao soon became dazzled. There were too many people, and they were all a large group of birds.

And what Zhu Youxiao was wearing was not the color of eunuch clothes.

The men in the palace were not wearing eunuch clothes, and the result was obvious, that is, Zhu Youxiao almost became a piece of fat that was swallowed.

Everyone wanted to fall into Zhu Youxiao's arms and sleep directly, so that they could legitimately become His Majesty's concubine.

As for the situation in later generations of pretentious TV dramas where someone is unwilling to be a concubine, it will never happen at all.

That's the position of the queen! Why do you lose your freedom when you enter the palace? This is the Ming Dynasty. If you are not the queen, where can you go? If you get married and wander around in the streets, you will be free?

Besides, if you don’t want to enter the palace, you can make some small moves to retreat long ago. Will you keep it until this round?

Under such an attack of many peach colors, Zhu Youxiao decisively chose to retreat.
