Chapter 2894 Pinching

Cai Cai said, "The beautiful ladies have entered the palace one after another, and they are almost due. I want to select them as soon as possible and add some people to the palace."

Yun Dai said: "This is your decision."

"The minister will start the primary election tomorrow."

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace while talking, Yun Dai said: "Go and do your work. It's completely dark. You should rest early. Don't let Yan'er stay up late to read the book."

"My son, I will remember it."

Caicai watched her enter Fengyi Palace, then turned around and left with the maid.

Yun Dai lay on the bed, thinking of Qi Xiaobing's haggard appearance, and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

As soon as it was dawn, she woke up and asked Mi Dou to cook some soft and glutinous porridge and some delicious side dishes, and sent them to Ci'an Palace, so that Qi Xiao would not bother anyone and would not ask for anything he wanted to eat.

Caicai was so busy dealing with the general election that she couldn't turn around all day long. She was just a teenage girl, so she couldn't be overtired.

Yun Dai still keeps these things in mind.

After the draft started, the steward and the eunuchs were asked to make preliminary selections. There are thousands of girls entering the palace, so naturally they start with their appearance.

Half of the bad-looking ones were eliminated first, leaving a thousand people.

Of these two thousand people, half were screened out by Caicai, leaving five or six hundred.

After two days of deliberation, Caicai handed over 500 beautiful girls from common people directly to the eunuchs in charge and assigned them to various harems and courtyards to serve.

Twenty people were sent over from Ci'an Palace, and ten people were also sent over to Yundai's place.

It's just that they are still young, and they don't know the rules when they first enter the palace. They are not qualified to serve the master. They need to study hard and gain experience.

As a result, only forty or fifty people are left to advance to the final selection.

These girls are either of noble birth, have excellent looks, or are likely to have good fertility.

In short, they have to account for the same.

After all, this last step is to choose concubines for the emperor, so there is no room for sloppiness.

Before the final selection, Caicai took Qian'er and invited several old and jealous concubines in the clan to get to know them one by one, and kicked out those who were too flamboyant and restless.

Among them were several noble girls from the clan who were kicked out unceremoniously by Cai Cai for causing trouble and bullying in Xiu Nufang.

Because of this incident, the clan members and relatives were angry and even ran to Yan'er to complain.

Yan'er ignored it.

If they make a fuss again, ask them to talk to the regent and see if the regent can tolerate them.

Of course they did not dare to go to the regent.

Just make a fuss and make your presence felt, that's all.

Who dares to criticize my daughter if she hasn't been raised well and hasn't even been selected yet?

Although Caicai is gentle, he is not someone to be fooled.

She worked hard for several days and finally decided on thirty beautiful girls, waiting for the emperor and the queen mother to see and decide together.

The reason why she had to spend so much effort to reduce the number of people was mainly because she didn't want to waste Yan'er's time, and she didn't want to overwork Yun Dai.

Thirty people finished reading it in a while.

Yan'er was noncommittal about this, and he could watch it or not.

He mainly agreed because he heard that his mother would also read it.

Caicai turned around to invite the Queen Mother, but she was no longer in Fengyi Palace. She said she was going to Ci'an Palace to visit Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao lingered on the hospital bed for several days, but she still wasn't feeling well, and she also lost a lot of weight.

Several imperial doctors went to see me, and I continued to take medicine, but I was still sick.

Si Huanian told Yun Dai in private that she should be mentally prepared. Concubine Qi was afraid that she would not be able to survive the spring.
