In this selection, Qin Zhi only selected six beauties to enter the palace, one empress and five concubines.

When the selection was over, it was not yet noon. Qin Zhi thought that he would quickly decide on the candidates and positions so that he could have lunch.

This is efficiency.

Originally, the positions of the selected contestants and the palaces where they would live were to be arranged by the Empress, but it seemed that the Empress would definitely enter the palace much later than the concubines.

Qin Zhi had no choice but to choose the candidate himself and decide on the position at the same time without any delay. As for the residence in the palace, Qin Zhi planned to leave it to Concubine Yi Meng Wuyue to arrange.

As soon as Qin Zhi returned to Zhaozheng Hall, he summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple. Qian Gang made a decisive decision and quickly finalized the enthronement of the queen and five newly selected concubines.

He did not need a harem to maintain the court, and he chose the queen based on his personal preferences.

Qin Zhi had expectations for his queen. He hoped that his queen would be wise and virtuous, because the queen was not only his wife, but also the mother of the country.

The candidate he finally chose for the queen was Shen Ningyue, the daughter of Shen Siheng, a third-rank Jinzi Guanglu doctor.

Qin Zhi had a good first impression of Shen Ningyue.

All the selected beauties were beautiful and graceful, each with their own merits. Shen Ningyue stood out from the crowd and won the position of the empress because of her eyes. Qin Zhi liked her eyes very much.

The eyes are auspicious and phoenix eyes, with slightly pointed and slightly downturned eyes, slender and slightly upturned eyes, thick eyelashes, like a little tit, clear and gentle eyes, and a hint of determination.

Looking through her information, we can see that she learned how to manage household affairs from her mother, a clan member, since she was young. She ran the family's land and shops and handled things in an orderly manner. Her style of doing things was tolerant yet decisive.

In addition, Shen Ningyue's family was prosperous and harmonious, with no conflicts among them. She was the eldest daughter in the family, and was born as a twin with her brother. She also had three younger brothers and two younger sisters, all from the same mother.

After deciding on the candidate for the queen, they would prepare to establish her. This would require going through a series of procedures including accepting the marriage proposal, asking for her name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, and announcing the date of marriage. After that, the wedding would be announced and there would be a grand ceremony, which would take at least a year or so.

As for concubines, the ranks of concubines in Dayong inherited the old system of the previous dynasty and were divided into nine ranks, from the highest to the lowest: noble concubine, concubine, noble concubine, concubine, noble lady, beauty, talented lady, good lady, and the lowest rank: selected concubine.

Two imperial concubines were regarded as having an estate of 10,000 households and the title of a first-rank prince;

Four concubines, who were regarded as having an estate of 5,000 households and the title of a first-rank prince;

Five noble concubines, who were regarded as having a fief of 3,000 households and were dukes of the first rank;

Six concubines, regarded as the same as the second-rank county dukes;

A noble is regarded as the same as a county duke of the second rank;

Beauty, regarded as the same as the third-rank county marquis;

Talented people are regarded as the same as the fourth-rank county earl;

My dear, he is regarded as a county viscount of the fifth rank;

The selected concubines were regarded as the same as the fifth-rank county barons.

When the beauties were selected and entered the palace, Qin Zhi did not give them high positions right away.

Qin Zhi hoped that they would take this high position from him themselves.

It is better not to have a lifeless harem. A door hinge does not rot, and running water does not rot. Everything should be moving.

Qin Zhi tapped the table with his fingers nonchalantly, his eyes full of tenderness.

He likes fresh beauties.

Five concubines,

Lu Xiyin, the daughter of the third-rank Marquis Cheng'en, was conferred the title of noble lady.

This strange noble lady who runs a brothel, according to the information submitted by the Jingjisi and Xiuyiwei, has an extroverted, bold and eccentric personality. However, in front of Qin Zhi, Lu Xinyin is very shy and timid. Qin Zhi always feels that her introversion and sensitivity do not seem to be fake.

Lu Xinyin's rank is the highest among the selected beauties this time. After all, she is the niece of the empress dowager. Sometimes Qin Zhi is still willing to save some face for the empress dowager. As for when, it depends on his mood.

Meng Xinghe, the daughter of Meng Liu, a third-rank imperial college chief academician, was named a beauty.

Meng Xinghe is the younger sister of Concubine Yi, Meng Wuyue. Qin Zhi did not give her much preferential treatment because of this. A thought of being a servile and causing trouble flashed through Qin Zhi's mind, but he still did not do it. Qin Zhi was not a dog all the time. He was still willing to respect Concubine Yi. There was no need to deliberately anger his innocent beloved concubine to death.

Fu Mengli, the daughter of Fu Buyi, a third-rank general of the Yunhui Order, was named a beauty.

Fu Mengli's temperament was cold and aloof, which made Qin Zhi feel somewhat familiar. She was a bit like one of his father Qin Yi's concubines. It was not that he had any different feelings for his father's concubine, nor did he have any complex of being like her. It was just that they had the same temperaments: delicate, cold, gentle, lively, and silly. He just felt that there must be a concubine with such a temperament in the palace, and the collecting habit in his heart was at work.

Jiang Lanzhi, the daughter of Jiang Baichuan, a fourth-rank minister of rites, was named a talented person.

Jiang Lanzhi, her elegant, refined, tranquil and timeless temperament is quite extraordinary.

Li Xihua, the daughter of Li Ren'an, a fifth-rank official, was named his good wife.

Another weird woman. Take her into the harem and don’t let her wander around outside.

The positions of the five concubines have been determined, and they can enter the palace as soon as the Imperial Observatory selects a date.
