The queue is getting longer and longer, forming two rows. They are led by the flag officers, the leaders and other assistants of each flag. The order is called "queuing". According to the order of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, the concubines in the palace are at the front.
Relatives, followed by the girls who had been selected before and who were re-selected this time, and finally the newly selected show girls, arranged in order of age, one after another.
"Miss, let's have a sip of tea and eat some snacks first. Seeing that this situation is bound to be impossible for a while." Seeing the sun going west, Aunt Li carried the food basket, took out the items in the basket one by one, and put them on the table.
On a small shelf in front of beauty
I'm glad I took these to eat before I left, otherwise, the lady might have been hungry.
Chen Meili nodded in agreement, "Let's all eat together."
After stuffing the pastry in one mouthful, Qingwu looked at Chen Meili hesitantly, then at Sepa, with a look on her face that was about to speak, but Chen Meili chuckled when she saw this.
"You have never dared to speak and laugh, how could you learn it so well?" After saying this, he glanced at Sepa in a funny way: "Okay, just say what you want to say, don't act like this, it's not my fault anymore if you look like a young lady."
Rulin breathed out an amnesty, and Qingwu looked out the window seriously: "A young lady like this is going to be the emperor's wife?"
There was a burst of laughter in the car, which made the original atmosphere lively a lot.
"This is nothing, it's just two flags. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be many more women to be the emperor's wife as you said!"
It's the truth, but it's also a sigh. Once he becomes emperor, a woman, whether she loves him or not, has to accept the confusion. Maybe it's just the selfishness of her daughter's family. Otherwise, there would be no chance of these men competing to sit in that position.
"Don't be afraid, our lady is beautiful and well-loved, she will be fine!" Qingwu comforted her with clever words, but she didn't know that she hit the nail on the head.
There is nothing worth showing off if you win over others by your appearance, and it is even more ironic to favor this one.
When the word "show girl" comes into people's eyes, people's intuition is that a show girl should have the appearance of a beautiful girl. However, are there any beautiful girls among the show girls? From the photos of the girls who were drafted in the late Qing Dynasty, it seems that they are very beautiful.
It is difficult to associate these faces with any word that expresses beauty. There are two selection criteria disclosed by the Qing royal family, one is character, and the other is family background.
In the canonization of queens, concubines and concubines, words such as "lenient", "filial piety and kindness", "gentle and respectful", "shushen", "born into a famous family", "xiangzhonghua clan", etc. are often seen.
Among them, family status plays a more important role
As soon as the emperor died, the concubines who were still in their prime would move out of their original residence in the East and West Twelve Palaces and move into the courtyards specially arranged for the emperor's widow - Cining Palace, Shoukang Palace and Shou'an Palace, with Buddhist halls and mist.
, which is the main content of their future days.
Chen Meili shook her head vigorously, interrupted the thoughts in her mind and smiled impatiently. It seems that she is too pessimistic, isn't she?
The mule cart slowly departs at sunset, enters Di'an Gate at night, waits for the palace gate to open outside Shenwu Gate, and then gets off the train. Under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, enter Shunzhen Gate in order.
