Your Majesty Cheng Huan

Chapter 4 Entering the Palace for My Sister

In the dark night with long lights, Li Chenghuan knelt in front of his father. Li Fugui put his hands on his knees and kept trembling. It took him a long time to pull his son up.

"Cheng Huan, have you really thought about it?"

Li Chenghuan nodded and said, "Father, I'll be fine. As long as I'm dismissed before Sancha, I'll come back. If..." The lights are like beans, and the flames are jumping, even if they are so close, Li Fugui I couldn't see the expression on his face either, "If the real thing comes to light, pack up your things and run away. The farther you go, the better. If you have a chance, go find your sister. She must have left with Liang Sheng. If you go to Jiangzhou, you might be able to find them. My sister ran away because she had nothing to do, so don't blame her."

Li Fugui burst into tears, shook off the muddy tears, and said: "Good boy, Dexian has a strong temper, I don't blame him, but I have suffered for you... You must come back safely..."

He only stayed in Bailu Town for three to five days, and Zhou Yuanjin hadn't seen Li Dexian in these few days.He only thought that the daughter's parents had grown up, and they disappeared as soon as they could see the unmarried man from his natal family, and he didn't particularly care.Just like that, Zhou Yuanjin hurried back to Zhihe County, and the Qushui Liushang that he had agreed with Li Chenghuan died prematurely.

Mrs. Zhou also complained for a while because of this, but she also knew that her son was busy with official duties, and this time the emperor's concubine selection was complicated. If he hadn't sent him back to his old house, he would not have left the county.

However, before leaving, Zhou Yuanjin comforted Li Chenghuan again and again, saying: "If a virtuous person is selected, he will surely be blessed." Let their siblings not care about those gossip.

On the day of the government's pick-up, a group of women from good families who were waiting to be selected from Bailu Town went to the county government in a specially dispatched carriage. Parents and children in the streets and alleys were all crying, as if they were in mourning.On the one hand, it is natural that the parents are reluctant to part with their daughter, and the daughter is also reluctant to leave home.On the other hand, I am afraid that these young women who are waiting for election are also worried about their future. The future is unpredictable. Thinking of this, how can we not make people cry?

Li Chenghuan, like other women, put on the special clothes sent by the government overnight yesterday, covered his face with white gauze, and bid farewell to his father.Originally, it was his sister Li Dexian who was wearing this dress, but now he has to replace her sister and pretend to be a woman.

Li Fugui watched Li Chenghuan get into the carriage, and his son looked at him for the last time. He still feels very shocked when he thinks about it many years later.The face that resembled his mother was covered under a white veil, only one eyebrow and one pair of eyes were exposed, and at that glance, he seemed to see again the young Li Fugui who made the "holding son" relationship with the young Li Fugui more than [-] years ago. A beautiful woman who vowed to hold hands and grow old with her son.Perhaps at that moment, he already felt that not only had he lost his daughter, but he would also lose his son from now on.

The emperor's selection of concubine this time was originally a cumbersome procedure. Last year, she died once, but this year's procedure is much simpler.However, compared with ordinary marriages, these screening procedures are still a headache.

First of all, starting from the emperor's decree to select concubines across the country, all unmarried women of the fifteenth to the fifteenth age must stop marrying for this reason.After the examiners sent by the emperor to various places conduct an inspection, that is, those with disabilities and unsightly appearances are eliminated, and those who stay will be issued a plaque, and a list of women's names and birthdays will be made and reported to the county. level one.

After that, the county level will conduct a second inspection of the women selected from the whole county, and send those who are unattractive, hoarse, thin, hard to hear, or have other defects in appearance and behavior back to their hometowns. Those who stay will enter the three inspections, that is, they will be compared with the women selected from the whole prefecture.

The first inspection and the second inspection all look at appearance, but the third inspection is based on manners.After three inspections, those who still haven't been put down will be eligible to enter the palace.This group of women will truly change their destiny from now on.Those who are not selected among the first, second and third inspections can still go back to their original places to marry themselves. After the third inspection enters the palace, if they are unfortunately unsuccessful, those with better luck can still be given to officials at all levels or even relatives of the emperor. Can stay in the palace as a court lady for at least ten years, and can only leave the palace after the ten-year period expires.

As far as this system is concerned, it is actually passed down from the history of Central Continent. No matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, it seems that they are not afraid of trouble when choosing a woman for themselves.
