Then the eunuch said that the rules of the selection had been changed. This was the final round of the selection. Those who left their tokens would stay in the palace to wait for the enfeoffment. They would leave the palace before tonight.
As soon as he said this, the hundred or so female cultivators became even more nervous.
Some of them were scheming, and some were smart. They all let their personal maids straighten their faces and put on makeup.
Liu Weirong could not hide her shock. Why was it different from what was written in the novel?
The three rounds became two rounds. The so-called framing and the interaction between the beauties had disappeared without a trace. Everyone was waiting for the end of the talent show. It was so smooth that she could not believe it.
However, when she thought about how she would soon be disqualified, the change in the plot had nothing to do with her.
Therefore, she stood beside Liu Xiangya with a clear conscience and did her job.
She had no idea that all of this was because of the instigation of her butterfly, which affected a large number of people.
"Third Sister, why don't you put on some makeup?”Liu Xiangya stood there elegantly and noticed that almost half of the girls were applying makeup on their eyebrows. She looked at Liu Weirong, who was not wearing any makeup, and felt a little jealous of her good skin.
She didn't know how she did it, but it was actually softer than the skin she took care of so carefully. It was tender.
Liu Weirong smiled. She didn't know if it was because she had been drinking spiritual spring water these days, but her five senses had become very sharp. Liu Xiangya's change couldn't be hidden from her. She said indifferently,"It doesn't matter whether I put on makeup or not. I don't have any talent at all. Only my zither playing is passable, but compared to other beautiful girls, I'm much inferior. I definitely won't leave a label, so why waste my time!”
When Liu Xiangya heard her say that she could play the zither well, the gentle smile on her face stiffened for a moment and then returned to her smiling face.
"Third Sister, you don't have to belittle yourself. You're so beautiful, maybe the Emperor will like you!”These words were very insincere. It sounded perfunctory. It was really fake!
"I hope so!" Liu Weirong secretly curled her lips. Pretty? The original owner of this body was beautiful, but she was not on the same level as Liu Xiangya. Plus, she had long lost the intention to enter the palace, so who cared!
Actually, she felt that it was good to stay at home alone, but unfortunately, this dynasty did not allow it.
Except for the palace maids.
……………………
The first row of five beautiful women who entered were all daughters of high officials and dignitaries. When they came out, they were all beaming with joy. Needless to say, they had all left a token to be selected into the harem.
However, Liu Weirong noticed a delicate and beautiful woman and secretly guessed that she was the niece of the Empress Dowager. Although she looked like a little white flower, she was also a ruthless character.
Looking at the beautiful girls who came out, some were happy, some were sad, some were at a loss, and some were unwilling. All kinds of expressions opened Liu Weirong's eyes.
It seemed that very few people were selected. Other than the first five beautiful women who entered with smiles on their faces, only one or two of them were happy.
Liu Weirong was speechless. He was too picky. She didn't even know what the standards of the talent show were. Those pretty girls were all rejected.
Those who left their tags had good looks, good figures, and some could only be considered beautiful among those beauties.
The daughters of officials after the fifth rank were almost at the end of the line. After all, those who could participate in the selection were the daughters of officials above the sixth rank.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose, bringing with it a faint trace of heat.
Because Liu Weirong had drunk a cup of spiritual spring water in the morning, she did not feel hot. She stood there calmly and looked around at the beauty, unaware that her appearance had fallen into the eyes of some eunuchs who were secretly watching her.
Liu Xiangya was a little anxious. Fortunately, the water blocked most of the sunlight for her. Soon it was their turn. Liu Xiangya was slightly relieved and quickly touched up her makeup.
Liu Weirong sighed to herself. What kind of luck was this? She was in the same row as Liu Xiangya again.
She didn't care, but the faces of the other girls who were assigned to Liu Xiangya's group fell. With Liu Xiangya around, they suddenly became dull.
Liu Weirong glanced at the expressions of those beautiful girls and sighed insincerely. Liu Xiangya was the female lead, and the light of the female lead could not be hidden!
After entering the main hall, Liu Weirong and the other four followed the eunuch's instructions. They knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. Then, they retreated to the side and waited for the eunuch to call their names before coming out to greet the emperor.
Liu Weirong peeked over and saw the Emperor sitting in the middle, dressed in bright yellow. The dragon robe made him look extremely noble.
He was about twenty-eight years old. His face was handsome and resolute with a hint of coldness. The corners of his eyebrows reached his temples, and his eyes were sharp and spirited.
A young and handsome emperor! Looking at the shy faces of the beautiful women beside him, one could tell the charm of this emperor.
At this moment, she remembered that although most of the palace fights in the novel she read were in the romance category, it was no wonder the male lead was so handsome.
Unfortunately, he was not fated to meet her. After admiring her, he turned to his left.
On the left sat a kind-looking middle-aged woman wearing a yellow robe with a rusty phoenix pattern. A colored satin robe. Needless to say, this was definitely the empress dowager.
Seated on the right was a beautiful woman in a red phoenix robe embroidered with golden thread. She was twenty-eight years old and could be considered an old woman in this dynasty. However, she had taken good care of herself. Her figure was slightly plump and her smile was dignified and elegant. Sitting beside the Emperor, she must be the Empress.
This glance only lasted for a moment.
"Raise your head." The eunuch's stern voice rang out. Liu Weirong calmly raised her head, looking submissive. She didn't look at Liu Xiangya's reaction.
The Empress smiled at the Empress Dowager and said,""Mother, this year's beauties all look like flowers. I didn't expect that this time there would be a beauty that could topple cities. If she is chosen to enter the palace, she will definitely be able to give birth to branches and leaves for the royal family.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xiangya from the corner of his eyes.
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the other three Xiuyens changed slightly.
The Empress Dowager smiled." Xiao Dezi, let's begin!”
Liu Xiangya was called first.
Liu Xiangya's name immediately attracted the attention of the three people above.
It turned out that the rumored beautiful beauty in the palace was Liu Xiangya.
Murong Che narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time. When the Empress saw this, she thought that the Emperor had been charmed by that vixen, Liu Xiangya. The smile on her face grew wider and wider.
Under the Emperor's gaze, Liu Xiangya blushed with joy. She was charming as she stood out from the crowd of beautiful women, her voice sweet and charming. Mei: " This servant, Liu Zhihao's daughter, Liu Xiangya, greets the Emperor. Good luck to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager!”
Murong Che's eyes flashed as he looked away and glanced at the Empress. The Empress put away the jealousy in her heart and smiled,""This round is a talent test. What talent do you want to show?”
"Replying to the Empress, this servant wants to play the song 'Qingping Music' with the zither.”
Soon, the two eunuchs brought the zither to Liu Xiangya. Liu Xiangya gently brushed the hem of her dress, revealing the pattern on the hem. Then she sat down and played the zither elegantly.
Her slender hands danced in the air, and the sound of the zither was melodious and melodious…
The Empress Dowager was startled when she saw the flower pattern embroidered on Liu Xiangya's body. This flower was called hibiscus flower. The hibiscus flower had a strong vitality. The flower symbolized a determined character that had gone through hardships. It also symbolized fire, nostalgia, and friendship.
It was a very ordinary flower, but it had an unusual meaning to the Empress Dowager.
