There are more than 20,000 beauties sent to Chang'an by the world, and it is impossible for Queen Cui Wan to call every beauty to take a look in person, and a considerable number of places are selected by Zhuo Xiang.
But as long as the princess level is selected, they will become one of the women in Liu Yan's harem, and under normal circumstances, after entering the palace, the queen will give a fixed product, but the grade will definitely not be high, it should be from the tenth to the seventeenth level.
The current harem system of the Han Empire is improved from the harem level of the Western Han Dynasty, from high to low: 1 queen, 2 four concubines, 3 Zhaoyi, 4 ladies, 5 beauties, 6 belovers, 7 eight sons, 8 seven sons, 9 long envoys, 10 young envoys, 11 Jieyu, 12 Ju'e, 13 Ronghua, 14 Chongyi, 15 Wuguan, 16 Shunchang, and then Wujuan, Gonghe, Yuling, Baolin, Liangzhi, and the night of these five titles were established as the last level 17.
It has to be an important country to be rated as the tenth level, and the weaker the country, the lower the princess rank.
The harem also depends on the rank, the higher the rank, the better the treatment, the lower the rank, the worse the treatment, which is directly reflected in the place of residence and the servants under the name, and even the degree of eating and drinking is strictly distinguished.
There are not a few beauties who were selected by the queen as the emperor's bedchamber, and every country that sent a princess, if the country only sent a princess, it was bound to be selected, and more than one princess would eliminate the rest of the candidates, and there were twelve princesses selected.
In addition to the princesses, a number of noble beauties from those countries were chosen, and the number was thirty-six.
After a round of drafting, including princesses and aristocratic beauties, a total of forty-eight became the emperor's chamberlains.
The rest, that is, the remaining three thousand beauties of nearly all countries and ethnic groups, Liu Yan will agree with Cui Wan that basically all civil and military officials can be rewarded with at least one beauty, and some high-ranking people will also be selected according to the order of the title to be rewarded with beauties.
Of course, the selection list was not announced by posting the imperial list, but by the officials of the Honglu Pavilion who personally went to the post house to issue the decree.
The decree promulgated by the Hongrokan came from the empress, and the official name was Yizhi.
"Helena Constantine, prudent, diligent and docile, pure and pure, gentle and gentle, virtuous, virtuous.
He was immediately canonized as a major envoy."
Inside the inn, the high-ranking people from Rome lined up, and Helena, who had listened to it, stepped forward to take the edict and thanked the officials who announced it.
The Romans in the formation did not disperse immediately, waiting for the officials of the Han Empire to announce the next edict, but there was no next edict at all.
"Envoy."
Zhou Wei didn't put up any scores, and maintained due respect, but he didn't respect Helena herself, but respected the identity of the young envoy: "Please prepare as soon as possible, tomorrow at this time, the official will come to welcome the young envoy into the palace." ” Helena seemed to be a little unresponsive, but after bowing her head, she asked, "Is there no holy decree?"
Zhou Wei explained that it was not a decree from the emperor, but a decree from the empress, and finally replied: "No." ” The Romans present instantly looked at Helena, who had been waiting with a smile, and saw Helena, whose expression had become stiff.
"How could it be" Helena didn't understand at all: "It's going to be me, isn't it" "Young envoy, please be cautious."
Zhou Wei had already sensed that something was wrong with the Romans, and since Helena had already received the order and was a young envoy of the Han Empire, he said the following: "There is no mistake in who is selected, please do not make a mistake about yourself." ” Helena thanked her in a panic, "Thank you very much for the reminder."
Even if it is the emperor, on the premise that he does not want to break the rules, the emperor cannot interfere with the empress, and it is the turn of the selected person to have any opinions.
Zhou Wei then gave some explanations, such as what kind of preparations needed to be made, reminding Helena that she could bring no more than three women to the palace together.
That's the treatment of a young envoy, you can arrange your own female officials and maids, and it's mainly a very humane consideration that there won't be no one who can speak after entering the palace.
This time this is especially the case for the princesses of various countries, most of them don't know Chinese, you can see what kind of dilemma they will encounter after entering the palace, don't get lost and starve to death because of the language barrier, or no one who can speak has loneliness or something.
As soon as she heard that Helena could bring three women into the palace, Helena immediately thought of many famous women in Roman history, but these women generally existed as mistresses.
Zhou Wei left the Romans with a strange atmosphere, and he still needed to go to many places to issue edicts.
"Sister."
Helena's voice sounded cold, and she said, "You didn't give away the thank you gift that you had prepared in advance. ” There are some rules in the world, such as what the supreme ruler sends to inform him, especially under the premise of good news, the person who is notified must not let the person who comes go back empty-handed.
This is an unspoken rule on the side of Zhuxia, and an open rule on the side of Rome.
Helena looked at her sister apologetically, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Helena" Julian looked at Helena, who didn't seem to be affected by anything, with some concern, hesitated for a while, and said in a relaxed tone: "We know that the aesthetics of the Han people are different from ours."
According to the aesthetic standards of the Romans, there is no doubt that the amorous Helena will definitely be more liked than the young Helena.
Julian didn't finish his words, he realized that it was useless to persuade him now, and to say those words seemed to be disgusting Helena, which was very bad, especially since Helena had become an important medium for witnessing the friendship between Rome and the Han Empire.
Helena's mind was now in a state of confusion, and she thought a lot in a short time, speculating that she had no reason to be chosen.
The Romans would speak ill of the Persians or the rest of the people and praise their own candidates; Persians, Roma, and Cypriots, whoever they are, do not try to praise the candidates of other countries anyway.
It must not only be because of the false smile on their face to slander Helena, but also because her heart is extremely complicated: she must have found out some real evidence Going back to Rome in a disgraced way, Helena would rather rot in the Han Empire than return to Rome like this, she used her brain to keep thinking about what she could do.
In other post houses, the countries that have received the decree have laughter and depression.
"Why did I lose the election" Nikal's face was full of unconvinced: "Why" Ksias looked at Nikar with a bit of a smile, and the angry Nikal looked cute.
"Perhaps," Ye Na guessed, "because you were too active when you were under the queen's scrutiny" Nikar was immediately dumbfounded.
She was only a little uneasy at the time, more curious, her facial expressions were very rich, and there were a lot of small body movements.
"It must be because I'm too young" Nikal peeked sullenly at her slightly flat breasts, "It must be so" In other words, Ye Na and Nikal did not guess wrong, there was indeed such an factor.
On the day the list is officially decided, countries will inevitably ask each other for information.
After they investigated, they learned that a country was only chosen by one princess, and the loser had all the mentality.
"I don't want to go back" Nikar was simply unconvinced, especially since she felt that her defeat was due to her milk supply: "I will grow up, and I still have a chance" Ye Na smiled and nodded: "You can bring three people, you will definitely be one of them." ” The rest of the Persians have no opinion, Shapur II is about to send his daughter and granddaughter, I really didn't think about them going back, even if Nikar can't follow Ye Na into the palace in the end, Nikar will live in Chang'an for a long time, maybe waiting for the opportunity to become the bedman of the Han Emperor, or maybe looking for a Han who will help Sassanid to marry.
The day after the edict was promulgated, the officials of the Honglu Pavilion went out again, mainly to bring the princesses of the countries who were selected as the emperor's chamberlains into the palace, and those noble beauties were incidental.

On the same day, the Suzaku Avenue leading from the post hall area to the palace city in Chang'an City was once again crowded with people.
The people have always been a group of people who like to watch the excitement, and they will not miss the scene of watching the selected people enter the palace.
They were very proud of this grand scene, and after hundreds of years, there was finally a grand occasion of all countries sending beautiful women to please them, and they firmly believed that this was the proof that the Han people once again stood on the top of the world's nations.
"That's a lot."
"I heard that those foreign women will be rewarded later" "What foreign women, they will be the daughters-in-law of the Han family in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The number of women of different races who took the initiative or were taken captive to become the wives or concubines of the Han family had exceeded 2.8 million by the twelfth year of Yuan Shuo.
The total number is so much, but it is not that there is only one upper limit for a Han man, and one is just the base.
It may be that a Han man has a woman of different race as his wife, and he also has several concubines who are also women of different race.
According to official data, there are 870,000 households nationwide that have taken women of different races as wives, and 1.37 million households have accepted women of different races as concubines.
Even if there is only one or two people in a household after the war, there has been a transition period of 13 years, and the number of members in each household is actually increasing.
If the compromise number of a family is four people, not counting servants and slaves, 1.37 million households will involve a population of 5.48 million, and if some relatives and friends are included, the number of people affected will be even more.
If there were no interracial women, how many Han family sons would be singles for a lifetime Accepting a woman of different races as a member of society is a necessary thing to do in today's Han Kingdom, not only the government advocates non-discrimination, but the people are actually very conscious.
Furthermore, they are actively accepting this integration, not passively accepting it, which is something to be proud of rather than humiliating in any way.
From the moment Liu Yan returned from the first time he abducted a foreign woman, the Han people were destined to enter an era of multi-ethnic integration.
The early stage of this kind of integration was based on the coercion of the Han Chinese force, and the first objects to be integrated came from the three countries of the peninsula.
The people on the other side of the peninsula are not very different from the Han Chinese in terms of skin color and living habits, and the only thing that can be called a barrier is the language barrier.
Since there was not much difference in the various aspects of the race, the first ethnic integration was easily accepted by the Han Chinese.
They also had to accept that they would have to wait for a decade or two to wait for the new generation of Han women to grow up and start a family With the first batch of successful fusion cases, the second group was followed by women from the Wajijima.
For the Han people, except for the Japanese women who are too short, otherwise in any respect, the Japanese women know how to serve people better than the peninsula women, and they are also more diligent.
The second batch of ethnic integration once again achieved the greatest success, not only solved the physiological problems of the vast number of bachelors, but also solved the problem of incense, and there was nothing to disagree with the official and non-governmental organizations, which laid a good foundation for many times of integration in the future.
When it came to the third fusion, it really didn't go so smoothly at first.
The main reason is that the third batch of interracial women who will be fused, how to say it, dark skin is not the key, it is the facial features that make the Han people feel that some are not ugly, but strange.
The integration of the third batch was full of all kinds of ups and downs, and the time period for being accepted was also longer, and it was only when the reputation of Indochina women's diligence spread that Han Jiaerlang thought that it was not a bad thing to accept indochina women of different races.
There has been a period of ethnic integration on the Indochina Peninsula, and there is a phenomenon among the people now, that is, the skin of some newborns is relatively dark from birth, and social problems have gradually emerged, such as yellow-skinned Han children are not very happy to play with dark-skinned Han children The government is already attaching importance to the education of the next generation, and cannot allow mutual discrimination to be guided and channeled in public opinion since the children's childhood, mainly targeting adults, and then letting the social atmosphere eliminate such discrimination.
The Han people not only accepted dark-skinned alien women, but also accepted a huge number of white-skinned alien women after entering the grasslands and the Western Regions.
The pace of conquest of the Han Empire will not stop, and it is impossible for the entire empire to have only one skin, so it would be a good way to define the ethnic group by culture, and the ancestors have always been like this, otherwise there would be no current Zhuxia.
"Our generation will be the most wonderful generation."
According to the rules, Liu Yan will first inspect the beauties who were brought into the palace, and he stood on the top of the majestic platform and looked down, which were more than 3,000 foreign beauties kneeling on the ground in a neat queue: "It is my duty to accept the daughters of all races to take the lead, and to lead the sons and daughters of the Han family to enrich the gene pool of the Han Dynasty."
Below, the beauties in a kneeling posture, they are flowers, waiting to be picked:
