"Little Li, take this information to the Empress Dowager and the Empress!”In the end, Murong Che decided to keep both Liu Xiangya and Liu Weirong.
No matter what, Liu Xiangya was better off entering his harem.
"This servant obeys!"
Little Li stood up and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He picked up the information of the beautiful girl and left the Purple Mansion Hall.
Murong Che leaned lazily on the dragon throne, his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.
"Indescribable? You have Phoenix Qi?"
Noble beyond words? Was there anyone more honorable than him in this world?
Phoenix Qi? Did she want to be the Empress? Murong Che's lips curled into a cold smile.
Master Mingyuan had never made a mistake in his life. He wanted to see what kind of woman Liu Xiangya was…
According to Little Li, she was the most beautiful among the group of beautiful women.
If that was all, he would be disappointed.
Because of Liu Weirong's unexpected appearance, Liu Xiangya was in the limelight during the preliminary selection in order to be selected into the palace. This caused the Chief Eunuch Xiao Li Zi to reveal her fate in front of the Emperor in advance. This was originally revealed at the end of the novel when she became the Empress Dowager, but now it was revealed early.
Everything was slowly moving towards the unknown.
At this moment, Liu Weirong did not know that the cheat of knowing the plot was no longer reliable.
Liu Xiangya, who was planning what she should do tomorrow in the Hall of Delicacy, didn't know either. Although her actions had caught the attention of the new Emperor Murong Che, he was also suspicious and wary of her.
Besides her, her third sister was also selected.
She was registered with Murong Che because of her fate, and Liu Weirong was taken in by the Empress Dowager because of her extremely healthy body.
As for Liu Weirong, she was still dreaming of going home after failing the second round. After all, she was a 21st century otaku. She had opened eight of her nine acupores in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she still knew nothing.
After ten days of craving, she could only barely play the song " Moon over West River ". Ahem, it was the kind that was out of tune. After Granny Gao corrected it many times without success, she gave up.
Liu Weirong, who had no musical talent, didn't know about it herself. She thought that she was good at playing the piano and that there would be a good show tomorrow.
……………………
When Little Li brought the information to the Empress and the Empress Dowager, the two noble women looked at the pair of sisters that Murong Che had left behind with uncertain expressions and were filled with suspicion.
Liu Weirong was able to stay because of her extremely healthy body. Liu Xiangya and Liu Weirong were sisters. Even if her health was good, shouldn't she be abandoned?
Soon, the two of them thought of the news from their spies. They heard that Liu Xiangya was beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament. If Liu Xiangya entered the palace, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the harem.
Could it be that the emperor had taken a fancy to her beauty? With their understanding of the Emperor, this seemed unlikely.
Thus, this question lingered in the Empress Dowager and the Empress 'hearts.
The Empress secretly hated Liu Xiangya, that vixen. She had taken the initiative in the first round and entered the Emperor's eyes. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and smiled,"Mother, this Liu Xiangya…"
The empress dowager glanced at her, how could she not know the empress's thoughts? She said lightly,""Since the emperor likes it, then keep it!”
Anyway, she came from a low background, but she was in good health. It was not a bad idea to stay. If she could give birth to a prince, she could hand him over to her niece Zhiying to raise.
Zhiying was the only daughter in her family who was of the right age to participate in the talent show. However, her body was not in good condition and it was difficult for her to give birth.
The Empress 'smile paused." Mother is right!”
After that, the two of them discussed some matters regarding the selection of talents. The Empress then returned to Feng Yi Palace with her trusted maids and eunuchs.
As soon as he stepped into Feng Yi Palace's bedchamber, he dismissed the palace maids and nannies who were waiting there, leaving behind two trusted palace maids to wait on the book and the painting and let them undress.
" Tell Concubine Gong and Concubine Jing about the selection and the Emperor's intentions…" The Empress looked at her beautiful face in the mirror and said lightly.
"Yes, sir!" The servant who was undressing the Empress replied respectfully.
"Tomorrow, send someone to investigate the matter of the Liu Sisters. Give the results to bengong within three days!”The Empress narrowed her eyes. One was the daughter of the Liu family's first wife, and the other was the daughter of the Liu family's second wife.
It seemed that the palace would be even livelier in the future.
"Yes, sir!"
"Whose card did the Emperor pick tonight?" After removing the golden hair ornament and putting down her well-cared hair, the Empress pursed her lips and asked again after changing into clean clothes.
"Replying to Master, the Emperor did not order any consort's sign tonight. I heard from Eunuch Little Li Zi that the Emperor is resting in the Purple Mansion Hall tonight.”The painting attendant replied with a smile.
The Empress unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. She asked about the little princess and went to bed early, planning to suppress those beautiful women in her best condition tomorrow.
Lying on the huge yellow pearwood carved bed, the Empress felt extremely sour. After this talent show, the balance in the palace would be broken.
There were three beautiful women whose family backgrounds were comparable to hers, the empress. Once they entered the palace, they would definitely be above the imperial consort rank and would pose the greatest threat to her. Who asked her not to give birth to a prince for the emperor?
Especially the empress dowager's niece, Fang Zhiying. Needless to say, she was definitely a noble consort.
If she had a prince by her side, her position as empress would be stable.
With this thought in mind, the Empress tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
That night, not only was the Empress unable to sleep, but the other women in the harem were also tossing and turning, especially Gongpin.
After the selection, there were many concubines who pressed down on her head. The families behind each of them were not something they could resist.
Now, she could only plan carefully. Although she had moved into the palace more than three months earlier than those beautiful women, her connections were pitifully few. The entire harem was almost under the control of the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
According to the news from the informants, the Emperor had already decided on the candidates to enter the palace. The most eye-catching ones were the Liu sisters. One was extremely healthy and was valued by the Empress Dowager, while the other was beautiful and caught the Emperor's eye.
Gong Pin was extremely jealous. Unfortunately, she couldn't make a move on the internally decided candidate because the empress dowager's eyes were everywhere in the harem. If…
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gongpin's eyes. She called her confidant Cuizhu over and whispered a few words in her ear before leaving.
When Jing Pin learned of the news that the Empress had deliberately released, she did not do anything. She just quietly nestled in her palace.
……………………
Early the next morning, Liu Wei Rong and Liu Xiangya were led by the palace maid to wait outside the Hall of Splendid Beauty for the selection.
Liu Weirong glanced at Liu Xiangya and couldn't help but admire her beauty and figure. She had obviously dressed up carefully. She saw the silver-red silk embroidered flower pattern on the hem of her dress and narrowed her eyes. This dress…she had actually worn it in advance.
She was very eye-catching among the group of beautiful women, attracting many hostile gazes. However, Liu Xiangya was still calm and composed, with an elegant and confident smile on her lips.
This bearing, this temperament was very attractive.
Especially those daughters of powerful families, they cast jealous and resentful gazes at him.
They had already learned from their own channels that the process of the talent show had been changed. The final selection would be held in this round of talent competition, and the emperor would also appear. Therefore, they specially dressed up, hoping to gain the favor of this young and handsome new emperor.
Liu Weirong lowered her eyes. She had just seen the girls in that circle dressed up, and it seemed like there was a trend. She remembered that Liu Xiangya thought she was asleep last night and secretly went out for a while. She wondered if it had anything to do with her wearing this dress today.
All she could do now was to be a blockhead.
Anyway, she had no intention of entering the palace. The more Liu Xiangya was in the limelight, the more advantageous it would be for her to lose the election.
It was still early, and there were already more than a hundred girls who had passed the preliminary selection standing outside the Splendid Hall.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the emperor, empress dowager, and empress arrived.
The beautiful women and the surrounding palace maids, eunuchs, and old women all knelt on the ground to welcome him.
Liu Weirong also knelt down, but she was cursing this evil feudal society in her heart. At the same time, she was glad that Liu Xiangya would definitely enter the palace, and she would definitely not be selected.
He didn't have to kneel all the time.
However, a question arose in his heart. Why did the Emperor appear in the second round?
If she was not mistaken, when Liu Xiangya heard the eunuch say that the emperor was coming, a trace of joy flashed across her eyes. Did she already know?
It seemed that Liu Xiangya was really the heroine's fate.
The three most distinguished people in the palace had arrived at the Hall of Splendid Beauty. Except for Liu Xiangya and a small group of beautiful women in front, most of the beautiful women began to feel nervous. Some were happy, some were confident, some were at a loss, and some were at a loss.
After a while, a young eunuch came out and said loudly,""Ladies, the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager has decreed that the palace selection begins.”After saying that, he took out the roster and entered the hall in order of five. Those who had not yet gotten their turn stayed in the side hall to wait.
