From the 15th to the 18th, the palace officially began to search.

The first task of this search is to recruit concubines for the emperor.

Emperor Jingshun has passed his thirties.

But apart from the two young princes who died in infancy, there were no other heirs.

This is also one of the important reasons why many people in North Korea and China have chosen to wait and see.

Secondly, female officials must be selected and hired.

Prepare to be a princess and accompany the princess to school.

Or it can be used as a talented person or a good person.

All daughters of famous officials who come to run for election must register with the Ministry of Household Affairs as early as when they enter Beijing.

These women are all between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, and they come from all over the world.

Including Duzhong, Yingtian Prefecture, eighteen provinces, prefectures, and Xuanwei Division.

The list was compiled into the palace, totaling more than 380 people.

The grand occasion is probably only slightly worse than that of Chunwei.

Baochai was already waiting outside the palace under the escort of Xue Pan.

Soon after, the female officer brought the candidates in together.

Even though Baochai had always been steady and steady, he could not help but feel uneasy at this time.

The Xue family now relies on the legacy of their ancestors and has two officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He even used internal funds to do business.

On weekdays, there are also a few old relatives who help me.

In the whole of Jinling, it can be called a high-class family.

But looking across the country, the Xue family is not enough.

For this reason, Baochai had no delusions about concubines.

The only goal of coming here this time is to be selected as a female officer.

In order to have the opportunity to become a princess and the princess's escort when she enters school in the future.

Even if you have been educated in the palace, no one should take a high look at you.

In the Great Wei Dynasty's recruitment, the preliminary selection must first pass four levels.

The first level is handled by the eunuchs in the palace.

Mainly: look at appearance, listen to voice, and identify temperament.

Needless to say, ugly.

Some have dignified appearance, but when they open their voices, they sound like smokers.

Or maybe it looks good and sounds good.

But the temperament is too charming.

These will be eliminated one by one.

The second level is handled by the female officer.

Measure various body indicators.

It doesn't matter if you are too tall or too short.

The palace generally does not pursue the cutest height difference.

They can't be together. The concubine is a head taller than the emperor.

It doesn’t work if your body proportions are out of proportion.

Scoliosis, bucket waist, etc., will all be eliminated.

The third level is controlled by the nuns in charge of the palace.

Check your whole body for any hidden diseases.

Such as skin diseases, white tigers, special birthmarks, tattoos, etc.

And whether it is still perfect.

The fourth level is a simple test of what you have learned.

At least you need to be able to read Chinese characters, and be familiar with "Biography of Martyrs", "Four Books on Women" and so on.

After these four levels are passed, the primary election is over.

After that, the identity, reputation, etc. of those who pass will be reviewed by the Dragon Scale Guards.

After passing the review, you will enter the interview stage.

The interview is usually hosted by the Queen Mother or the Queen herself.

If there is no owner of the harem, the emperor usually appoints a noble concubine.

Or there may be a precedent for the emperor's personal visit.

At this moment, Xia Bingzhong, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, was sitting in the middle.

Naturally, he would take charge of such a major matter in person.

In the first stage of the primary election, he is in charge of the overall situation.

After looking at several mediocre-looking people one after another, Xia Bingzhong waved his hands impatiently.

He couldn't help but worry about the Holy One.

The little eunuch shouted loudly: "Next one, next one!"

Just then, a beautiful girl came in.

Xia Bingzhong was immediately attentive.

At a glance, this girl looks like Concubine Yang reborn.

Compared with the previous women, they are even more stunning now.

Isn't this exactly what Feng Yuan likes?

Having said that, Xia Bingzhong would not move lightly.

Not only does this woman have iconic looks, her temperament is also stable and dignified.

As long as the sound is not too different, there is little chance of losing the selection.

If she is chosen as a concubine, then there is no need to mention it.

Only if he is selected as a female officer can he have room to operate.

"Xue, the sister of Xue Pan, the head of the Jiangnan Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has met my father-in-law."

The sound is like the first cry of an oriole, which can relieve boredom.

Xia Bingzhong closed his eyes, as if he was still savoring the sound.

Jinling Xue family?

He had some impressions.

Generally speaking, it is the position of concubine who has no destiny.

But with his years of caution in the palace, he naturally had to wait until everything was settled.

After Xia Shouzhong thought clearly, he opened his eyes and nodded.

"Next."

The palace people immediately took Xue Baochai out and rushed to the next level.

Baochai still didn't know that she was being targeted.

The primaries were all over, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

With her appearance, talent and knowledge, there is no suspense in the primary election.

After all, no one threw the cat away during the first trial.

Soon, she was holding a small brocade box.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, come out from the corner gate of the palace.

The Xue family has been waiting outside.

Ying'er saw Baochai coming out at a glance.

She hurriedly went up to take the little brocade box and asked with concern: "Is everything going well, girl?"

Baochai smiled and was about to answer.
