Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Chapter 4: The Selection of Beautiful Ladies

Three months have passed since the Star Mall was opened. During these three months, Tong Nuanyan first produced the flower next to the World Tree Seed, and then took advantage of the weakness of the seed to let 805 devour the Star Mall.

After 805 devoured the interstellar mall, the planet owner's delivery column can be opened. Although most of the goods still need to be exchanged for things, 805's devouring has brought a surprise, that is, there is a chance to receive free goods once a month, in the form of choosing one of three.

The 805 has been upgraded and can help scan and identify objects around you and provide assistance.

Relying on the items in the mall’s original owner’s receiving column, he lived a fulfilling life.

What was even more surprising was that among the items there were drugs that could change other people's minds. Now there was no need to worry about the loyalty of the people around him. Yun Xin was given an injection of drugs that night.

During these three months, Tong Nuanyan received the [Easy Pregnancy Pills] from the mall. After all, Tong Nuanyan hoped so much that she could conceive naturally. How could she get pregnant with a poor health?

[Body Strengthening Pills] It is particularly important to have a strong body. Although practicing supernatural powers can also improve physical health, mental power is not specifically for practicing strength after all, so this is a necessity.

[An ordinary factory] can only produce sanitary napkins, diapers, and is equipped with bionic robots.

On the day she got the factory, Tong Nuanyan was extremely happy. She had been worried that the audition was coming soon, but she still hadn't found the right person to open a shop. Now all her problems were solved. In the middle of the night, relying on the scanning function of 805, Tong Nuanyan slipped out of the Tong Mansion and set up the factory in an abandoned suburb. By placing drugs that modified minds, she successfully made people around her acquiesce in the existence of the factory for a few years.

The factory started selling sanitary napkins and diapers the next day after the products were put into operation. For a time, people in the capital city flocked to them, especially the ladies and young ladies from wealthy families, who all sent their maids to buy sanitary napkins.

Tong Nuanyan made a lot of money and filled her small treasury.

...

In September of the 38th year of the Kangxi reign, the weather became cooler and the beauty pageant was also held this month.

One carriage after another arrived at the side gate of the majestic and solemn Forbidden City and was led into the palace by the palace maids.

The Tong Jia clan was from the Bordered Yellow Banner of the Manchu army, so Tong Nuanyan followed behind Tong Yuyan and was in the second team of the first batch.

In the Qing Dynasty, all women between the ages of 14 and 18 had to participate in the selection every three years, and each girl could participate in two selections at most.

The concubines were all dressed in a single blue Manchu dress, with their hair braided into low pigtails. No other hair accessories were allowed. The only decoration was the red rope used for the pigtails. They then entered a small dark room and stood naked for inspection by the maids.

"I am Tong Jia Nuanyan, the daughter of Longkodo, the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolian Army. Princess, please follow me!" A maid who looked to be over 40 years old but had a somewhat harsh face came out and called out her name.

Tong Nuanyan immediately stepped forward and said, "Mammy, you have worked hard. Please have some tea."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the nanny in front of him.

"Oh, Princess, don't worry, go in and take off your clothes. Don't be nervous, it will be quick." The nanny smiled happily and motioned Tong Nuanyan to go in.

After entering, the door behind Tong Nuanyan suddenly closed with a harsh creaking sound.

There were two elderly maids in the room. They signaled to Tong Nuanyan that she could take off her clothes. She took off her clothes silently and let them look at her.

"Gege has a well-proportioned body, big as it should be, and a pear-shaped body, which is very suitable for bearing children. Madam Li, please make a note of it."

A thin old lady spoke up and signaled the lady next to her to take down the names. This was the second round.

The first round started when the family background was evaluated, and those who come here now are participating in the second round.

"Princess, put on your clothes and take a rest in the courtyard. Don't miss the time at noon to participate in the palace selection."

The thin maid turned around and reminded that these maids would be more tolerant towards the concubines who had passed their test. After all, they also hoped to have a chance to be remembered by the noble.

September in the Forbidden City is exceptionally cool.

Even when the sun was at its hottest in the afternoon, there was still a gentle breeze, which made Tong Nuanyan feel a little cold.

The Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner is still in the second batch.

As the eunuch arranged their seats, Tong Nuanyan followed Tong Yuyan silently.

The concubines around him were all daughters of the eight major Manchu surnames, and each of them was related to the royal family. For example, the princess from the Guaerjia clan standing in the back had just come out of the Yikun Palace of Concubine Yi. Everyone knew that this princess would become the concubine of the Fifth Beile in the future. This was the designated candidate.

The daughter of Deputy Governor Faka, Hada Nara, who was at the end of the team, heard from the palace maid in front that Concubine Cheng had summoned her. If nothing unexpected happened, this Hada Nara would most likely be given to the Seventh Prince as his wife.

Speaking of these Beiles, the most unexpected one is the Seventh Beile, who followed the expedition against Galdan in the 35th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign and was conferred the title of Beile upon his return. He was conferred the title of Beile earlier than the Fourth and Fifth Princes, who were conferred the title of Beile in the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

Tong Nuanyan was just thinking about it when she saw the eunuch in front coming over and leading people into the hall.

After entering the hall, it was not convenient to look around. Tong Nuanyan followed the crowd, saluted and squatted, and the eunuch next to her called out her name.

Soon it was Tong Nuanyan's turn

"Tong Nuanyan, daughter of Longkodo, deputy governor of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolia, comes forward to see the emperor!"

Take two steps forward and salute.

It was dark in the hall, and Tong Nuanyan could not see the emperor's appearance clearly, so she could only rely on her mental power to investigate.

Kangxi was in his early forties. He was not wealthy because he had been on military campaigns for many years. However, he had suffered from smallpox in his early years and had many pockmarks on his face. He was not a handsome man.

"Longkodo's daughter? Look up."

Hearing this, Tong Nuanyan looked up obediently, but did not meet Kangxi's eyes.

"De Fei, what do you think about giving Tong Nuanyan to Yinzhen?"

The elegant lady sitting next to him calmly replied, "How could I understand these things? Of course, it is better for Your Majesty to decide on Yinzhen's affairs."

"Stay." Kangxi waved his hand and asked the eunuch next to him to take down his name.

"The daughter of Long Keduo, the deputy governor of the Zhenglan Banner Mongolia, Tong Jia Nuanyan, is hereby registered for use!"

As the eunuch called out her names, Tong Nuanyan knew the outcome was decided.

But she never expected that she would be granted the title of Fourth Beile. In the incomplete historical materials of the last days, there seemed to be no record of the existence of Tong Jia in the Fourth Beile's harem. But after all, it was incomplete historical materials, and now she had traveled through time, and she didn't know whether the future history would be useful.

According to the historical records of the end of the world, the current Fourth Prince has married Ulanara as his principal wife. Tong Nuanyan's family background would not allow her to be a concubine, so the most likely scenario is that she will enter the palace as a concubine.

Following the guiding nanny out of the palace gate, Yun Xin came over to support her, "Princess, how was the selection? Are you tired?"

"I'm fine, let's go back home. A eunuch should come to convey the emperor's order tomorrow. You'd better go back and prepare properly!" Although she had the answer in her heart, Tong Nuanyan decided to pretend that she didn't know. This would be good for everyone.

At that time, Kangxi spoke those words in a low voice, and Tong Nuanyan was only in front of the palace gate and should not have heard it.
