When the Ji family came to Xianyang, they lived with the Han family of the same clan.
After Ji Xian arrived, he immediately went out to visit Lu Buwei and Han Fei.
Being friends with saints, there are still some ways to go.
This time, the officials of the Qin Dynasty paid more attention to the selection of the concubine than Zhao Huaizhong himself.
For people like Han Fei, who abides by the principles of Legalism, to be able to spread the branches and spread the branches of the Great Qin clan and carry out the work of reproduction, Han Fei has shown unprecedented enthusiasm.
He would take a look at all those who entered Xianyang from all over the country and participated in the final selection, and used Legalist techniques to make sure that the other party had no evil intentions.
Otherwise, it would become a joke for the Lord of Qin to choose a concubine and get a group of people with evil intentions to sneak in.
During the entire concubine selection process, Han Fei was equivalent to the position of captain of the security brigade.
Lu Buwei gave an overview of the entire process and dispatched officials from various departments in Da Qin to cooperate.
Ji Xian came to Lu Buwei and Han Fei and quickly obtained the information of other candidates.
He returned to the Han family, entered a small courtyard where he was staying, closed the door, and gathered together the twenty-one female relatives in the family who were running for the election.
That's right, twenty-one.
The Ji family brought everyone in the family who was of suitable age, good-looking, charming, and knowledgeable, and thought they could be selected.
Of course, not all of the twenty-one were direct attacks by the Ji family.
Including their lineage, all the clans spread out and related by blood passed down by the ancient Yellow Emperor, including almost all the clans of the five emperors among the three emperors and five emperors.
The Han family and Han Yue are also among the twenty-one, and they are one of the two most outstanding ones.
The other is the eldest lady Ji Ju.
The twenty-one women who participated in the election gathered together, and they were a little shy with each other. They all felt that the whole family was related to each other by blood. If they were selected into the Qin harem together and became the concubines of the same man, they would be in the same pot in the future.
Are you going to die from embarrassment if you eat seafood here?
Ji Xian was quite satisfied with the women in his family in front of him.
His eyes passed over his daughter, Han Yue, and another woman, and he smiled slightly.
That woman is Ji Ju's aunt Ji Qing. She is a plump and delicate woman like a blooming peony. Her eyes are like paint, and she hides her inner charm. She is very charming and beautiful in every move she makes.
Ji Xian glanced at the girls of the Ji family:
"Qin is the most powerful country today, and the King of Qin is the most outstanding person in the world.
If these men don't fight for them, they will become the daughters of my Ji family."
The stunningly beautiful Han Yue was wearing a long white dress and pearls on her head. She was sitting on one side with a dignified appearance, next to Ji Ju, who was graceful and had a three-dimensional face.
The two girls are cousins.
Ji Xian spread the pamphlet he got through the back door:
"This time when the King of Qin chose his concubine, Yan sent ten girls from Yan, and the Chu people also sent ten girls from Chu, including Yue girls and other women with a good reputation.
There are also a number of Mizhi beauties selected by the Qin clan, and women from Wei and Qi also contributed.
Si's family, a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, entered Xianyang one day before us and presented a strange woman to her."
The booklet fell into Ji Ju's hand first, and Han Yue's eyes flashed, and she watched from the side.
The name of the girl sent by the Si family to participate in the election actually had the words "daughter of an immortal" written on the booklet.
Ji Ju's eyes with thick eyelashes flickered, and she asked doubtfully: "What does the daughter of an immortal mean?"
Isn’t it a female immortal sent by the Si family?”
Han Yue also looked confused.
Ji Xian shook his head: "It is precisely because I don't know that I feel uneasy.
I asked Lu Buwei and Han Fei, but they both refused to say anything because it was related to King Qin's selection of concubines and should not be disclosed.
But Lu Buwei told me that all the clan elders who have seen the daughter of the Si family, including Lu Buwei and Han Fei, think that the girl donated by the Si family has the ability to win the first prize."

The Si family built a mansion in Nancheng, Xianyang, near the bank of a tributary of the Wei River, which was of extraordinary style.
There are four stacked courtyards with continuous palaces.
"I didn't expect that the master of the family would be willing to take out the treasure that my sister's family has treasured for many years and offer it to the people of Qin. This time my sister's family has a solid chance of winning."
It was Si Kuan who spoke.
The head of the family, Si Wenxin, sat at the head of the family.
He stroked his beard slowly and said with a smile: "Although the daughter given by the immortal is not a blood relative of my sister's family, she was sent to the Qin Palace because of her appearance, beauty and luck, so that she could accompany the King of Qin day and night.
The King of Qin also wants to express his gratitude to my Sis family for their gift."
Si Li, the younger generation of the Si family, was also sitting nearby.
His Si family has recently made a deliberate effort to make good friends with ancient clans such as the Shennong clan and the Ji family, and to get closer to them.
Ji Ju and Han Yue, whom he regarded as his targets, both joined the ranks of choosing concubines this time.
Si Li felt a sense of loss that he had been looking forward to it day and night, but in the end it was all in vain and he didn't get anyone.
During this period, it seemed that all the good women from all over the world came to Xianyang and wanted to become the concubines of King Qin, which made Si Li extremely jealous.
He looked at the head of the family, Si Wenxin: "My Si's family received the gift of a daughter by chance. It is hard to find in a lifetime. I will dedicate it to the King of Qin this time?"
He is just the lord of a place and a country, how can he enjoy such a beautiful daughter?
And what my concubine’s family is planning..."
"Shut up, this is Xianyang, don't you know that exporting will cause trouble?"
Si Wenxin said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many saints there are in Xianyang City?
The King of Qin was even more unfathomable.
How can my sister's family's plans be discussed in this city?"
Si Li was dissatisfied and said: "The saints of Qin all benefited from the advancement of the country's destiny and the blessing of the country's destiny, so that saints could be born in one city and one place.
If I had lived in Xianyang forever, I would have become a saint long ago."
Si Wenxin said: "It's all useless words. Get out of here."
Si Li then left the table angrily.
Si Kuan advised Si Wenxin: "Brother, don't be angry. What Li Er said is not entirely wrong. If we can get help from Qin's luck, we will not be weaker than everyone else in Qin."
Si Wenxin waved his hand and said: "It's useless to talk more. We have planned this. This is a good opportunity. If we send the daughter of the immortal, we can ensure the victory."
"It's just that the daughter of the immortal, after all...after all...she may not be at the mercy of my Si family." Si Kuan was slightly worried.
"It doesn't matter." Si Wenxin said firmly.

August 9th.
As time went by, the selection of concubines was officially launched, and the selection was very rigorous.
Countless people come from all over to eat melons.
It was not until mid-to-late August that preliminary results were available.
That is to say, ten people were selected and presented to Zhao Huaizhong.
The concubine chosen for him must be approved by him before she can enter the palace and become a concubine.
Xianyang Palace, study room.
Liu Qi held a wooden plate with both hands, on which was covered a black cloth with red dark lines. On the cloth were placed the names, biographies, characteristics, family background and other information of the ten women who stood out in the draft.
The entire selection process is more difficult than getting the top pick.
Including this list, you also need to choose an auspicious time and send it at the right time, without any mistakes.
After receiving the list, Zhao Huaizhong lowered his head to look at it.
Lu Buwei stood aside and was responsible for the narration:
