The rules and dates for talent selection have been decided.

The first round of primaries will be completed before June 15th.

On July 1st, the second round of selection was completed.

On July 15th, ten talented girls were selected in the final round and admitted to Shanglinyuan.

In the first round, the Ministry of Rites will lead the selection of female officers.

One hundred people were selected, and then Yin Hanyan led the top talented ladies in the court and the female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau, a total of eight examiners, to conduct the second round of selection.

Chu Yanyu will use this selection of the noble female examiner group to choose people who will be in her camp in the future.

The noble ladies finally selected were Yin Hanyan, Xie Yunshang, and Bai Xueying.

Su Jiaojiao, Huo Yingluo, Du Xinrui and Bai Xuejiao are responsible for directing and supervising the orderly conduct of the etiquette department.

When Bai Xuejiao got the news, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

With her status as a concubine, she was able to rank among the top noble ladies and became Princess Xiyu's right-hand man. Both the Bai family and the second wife were proud of her.

Even Bai Chongwen and the eldest princess began to smile towards her.

The first selection of beautiful men in the Song Dynasty was conducted by the Ministry of Rites, which drew portraits of the young men who participated in the election. For the sake of the young men's face, all the young men participated in the election with portraits.

Women who participate in voting vote with their ballot papers.

However, a vote requires one or two silver coins.

This idea was thought of by Yi Guiyuan.

No matter whether the gentlemen want to get high votes, they will buy tickets, or the noble ladies will buy the tickets if they want their favorite prince to be selected.

This income must be very considerable.

All the silver collected went to the treasury.

This plan was highly appreciated by the emperor and empress.

Therefore, Yi Guiyuan was allowed to become the top examiner for the selection of talented women.

The members of the highest examiner group are the Queen, Princess Xiyu and Yi Guiyuan.

Just now, Chu Yanyu was worried that the young masters wanted to save face, so not many people would participate, especially those with literary backgrounds who wanted to save face.

Who would have thought that as soon as the imperial list was posted, those who came to apply were eager to be first.

There are many officials and officials among them.

Registration has not ended yet, and ballots have not yet started to be sold. The places where people buy ballots have started to get crowded.

During this period of time, ‘Golden Branches and Jade Leaves’ was almost crazy busy.

A particularly lively thing happened in the capital.

On the busiest street, a "Hi Tea" shop was opened.

This name was given by Chunyuan.

Xi, the original meaning is bright, bright, and bright is extended to prosperity; it can also be written as "play", which is interpreted as joy and joy.

Therefore, the word "happy" was chosen.

It means joy and light.

The 'Hi Tea' store has already started to promote it before it even opened, and invited celebrities to taste it and then spread the word widely. Many people are eagerly looking forward to drinking this magical smoothie fruit tea.

‘HiTea’ announced that on the opening day, all drinks will be given away for free, but you have to come early in the morning to grab the coupons, and you can get free tea on the same day.

On the opening day, the outside of the 'Hi Tea' store was surrounded by iron barrels with three floors inside and three outside. Unexpectedly, 'Hi Tea' only gave out 100 coupons on the first day.

One hundred people queued up, and those who got the tea were amazed that there was such a dazzling tea, and they were reluctant to drink a second cup.

It doesn't taste too good at all, and I exclaim that the nectar in the sky is nothing more than this.

As a result, people grabbing tickets became even more crazy the next day.

In the past half month, the capital has been bustling with people participating in the selection of talented women and handsome men. Unconsciously, people from other places have also come in like crazy.

The business people in the capital were laughing from ear to ear, praising Princess Xiyu for bringing business to them.

In short, the whole capital was boiling.

The selection of talented women was carried out in a lively manner, and the selection of rankings of handsome men became ancillary to this prosperous event.

The people didn't think anything of it and just let nature take its course.

The lecturing officer at the imperial censor's desk felt that it was simply offensive. A dignified man was being criticized by women, and the letters of recommendation flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

The emperor pressed his eyebrows and threw all the documents aside.

Anyway, Princess Xiyu took the lead in selecting talented girls, with the queen as her backer. It was none of his business.

If these gentlemen are willing to run for election, they can go. If they don't want to, just don't go.

On June 15th, the first round of talent selection ended.

The selected 100 talented girls are ready to start the second round.

On this day, a luxurious carriage slowly entered the bustling city gate.

There is an exquisite palace lantern hanging in front of the car, with the word "Huaibei" inscribed on it.
