Yun Xuezhi smiled but did not say anything.
"Fifth Younger Sister is indeed a natural beauty. As long as you think about it a little, you're really a piece of beautiful jade!”Yun Xue Rao walked over with a smile. She had always liked to be in the limelight, but today she was dressed very elegantly. She did not even have a decent headdress.
She did not want to be the Crown Princess. As long as Yun Xuezhi could enter the palace smoothly, the position of the Princess Consort would definitely fall on her head…
After making up her mind, Yun Xue Rao took out a golden peacock hairpin from her sleeve and pinned it on Yun Xue Zhi's head." Sister's attire will definitely attract the Crown Prince's attention!"”
"Thank you, Elder Sister!" Yun Xuezhi smiled faintly.
Yun Xuechu glared at Yun Xuezhi with jealousy and hatred. Then, she saw that Yun Xuebi and Yun Xueshuang's dressing was much worse than hers, so she became happy again.
At this moment, Grand Preceptor Yun walked out. He was dressed in official robes, and it was obvious that he was ready to go to court.
Seeing these graceful daughters, Grand Preceptor Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. However, when his gaze swept over Yun Xuezhi, a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes." This is your first time entering the palace, so you must pay attention to everything. Don't embarrass this old man!"”
"Don't worry, Dad. I'm here!”Yun Xue Rao smiled.
"Rao 'er, you'll have to trouble yourself!" After saying that, Grand Preceptor Yun walked out of the manor.
Yun Xue Rao's face became serious as she said seriously,"No matter what the outcome is, you have to know your limits. Do you understand?”
"Elder Sister, we understand!" The sisters answered in unison.
"Then let's set off too!" Yun Xue Rao walked in front.
Compared to the other three sisters who were happy, Yun Xuezhi walked at the back with a troubled expression.
Now that things had come to this, he could only pray to the heavens for protection…
Soon, the carriage of the Residence of Yun was carried to the palace gates. Yun Xuezhi heaved a sigh of relief when she got off the carriage. All the women of the various official families were gathered here. They were all dressed up gorgeously and had eager expressions.
When they saw the Yun sisters, these women were shocked for a moment, then turned their heads away disdainfully.
"Fourth Sister, do you think we have any hope?”Yun Xuechu excitedly tugged at Yun Xuechu's sleeve.
Yun Xuechu looked around and raised her eyebrows." How can these people compare to us?”
As she spoke, she picked up the bronze mirror and carefully tidied her hair accessories.
"Fifth Sister!" Yun Xue Rao suddenly said," Do you know what it means to be the crown princess?”
"Younger Sister doesn't know!" Yun Xuezhi pretended to be at a loss and shook her head.
Yun Xue Rao smiled and whispered,"In the future, you will become the overlord of the Eastern Region Country's harem! So…Sister, you have to perform well!”
Yun Xuezhi smiled and asked innocently,""Don't you want to?"
Yun Xue Rao was dazed and then nodded." Of course, of course!"”
" But…" Yun Xuezhi looked at Yun Xue Rao up and down and said faintly," Looking at Eldest Sister's dress, she wants to stay out of it!"”
Yun Xue Rao smiled awkwardly.
" But…" Yun Xuezhi suddenly changed the topic." What if the Crown Prince likes your outfit?" In this myriad of flowers, Eldest Sister's plain dress was exceptionally elegant!”
Hearing this, Yun Xue Rao was dumbfounded. She felt that she couldn't gain the upper hand, so she stepped aside.
Yun Xuezhi heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she found her childish behavior funny. At this critical moment, he still had the mood to argue with Yun Xue Rao…
At this moment, the palace door opened, and a woman in her fifties walked out. She looked around and said stiffly,"Everyone is not allowed to speak or make any disobedient movements. Those whose names are called will enter in order!”
After saying that, she took out a roster and read it out loud.
Everyone quieted down and obediently lined up to enter.
Yun Xuezhi raised her head to look at the palace gate, trying hard to calm herself down.
She had come and gone through this bronze door countless times. At that time, she had worked hard for this country so that the man she loved could have a stronger national power when he ascended the throne... but now, this place had become her gate to hell! He really did not know what would await him after he took this step.
"Yun Xuezhi!"
Hearing the woman call her name, Yun Xuezhi stepped forward and blended into the group.
In the backyard of the Imperial Palace, many temporary wooden houses were built. In front of each wooden house stood two palace maids, and the surroundings were filled with guards.
As soon as Yun Xuezhi stepped into her wooden room, two palace maids immediately came forward to welcome her.
They closed the curtain and said softly,"Please take off your clothes!"
Yun Xuezhi slowly took off her belt and listened carefully to the movements around her. Every wooden house was very close to each other, and the voices of the people around them could be heard clearly.
Seeing her slow movements, the two palace maids showed impatient expressions." Please hurry up, Miss! We're still waiting!"
Yun Xuezhi nodded, but her mind was rapidly calculating. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a risk and get rid of the two palace maids in front of him first.
Thinking of this, Yun Xuezhi smiled and said," After all, I'm a lady, so I'm naturally a little embarrassed…" As she spoke, she turned around and began to take off her clothes.
The two palace maids looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when her back was facing them, Yun Xuezhi quickly took out the powder and drew a Confusion Spell on her palm. A sharp pain assaulted her, as if something heavy was hitting her whole body, almost making her unable to hold on.
Yun Xuezhi suddenly knelt on the ground with a pained expression.
The two palace maids were shocked and quickly came over to check." Miss, what's wrong?”
Taking advantage of this gap, Yun Xuezhi endured the pain and quickly slid her palm across the two of them.
"No, I'm fine. I just accidentally fell down just now!”Yun Xuezhi panted heavily and forced herself to stand up." Since I've done the physical examination, I can go out now, right?"”
The palace maid under the Confusion Curse nodded mechanically." Miss, please!”
Yun Xuezhi heaved a sigh of relief. She gently lifted her clothes and unconsciously frowned.
The areas where the blood vessels were stagnant expanded again. They seemed to have found their destination and were firmly entrenched in her fatal acupoints.
If she were to cast the curse again, she would probably die. However, Yun Xuezhi still felt very lucky to be able to escape this calamity. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and took a while to calm herself down before she forced a smile and walked out, pretending to be relaxed.
At this time, the Yun sisters had finished their body checkups, and their expressions seemed to be a little impatient.
"Fifth Sister, why did you only come out now? I've been waiting for you for half a day!" Yun Xuechu tidied up her clothes with a displeased expression.
Yun Xuezhi pretended to be ashamed and said,"Sister is a little clumsy. Fourth Sister, don't take offense!"”
"Alright, stop talking! Let's go. We'll pass by the imperial garden later. Everyone says that the crown prince will be observing from the shadows!”Yun Xue Rao came out to mediate the situation.
Hearing this, Yun Xuezhi's heart tightened. As expected, things were not that simple.
She looked around and found that the women around her were all coquettishly posing, as if they wanted to show their gentlest side. Therefore, she also imitated this appearance and had a happy expression.
The group of people slowly walked through the imperial garden. Yun Xuechu's footsteps were unusually slow. Yun Xuezhi was extremely anxious and really wanted to kick her away. However, on the surface, she pretended to be no different from other women.
This group of people slowly moved forward. Looking at the exit that was getting closer and closer, Yun Xuezhi slowly relaxed.
Murong Chuyan stayed in the flower pavilion and looked at the group of women who were slowly passing by with a gloomy expression.
This flower pavilion was coincidentally blocked by the plum blossom tree, so no one noticed it. Murong Chuyan poured a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp.
These days, thousands of women had entered the palace to have their bodies checked, but there was no trace of Yu Linglong. Such a large-scale move had already made the Emperor feel a little dissatisfied. If this continued, the court would probably have objections…
"Yu Linglong, where are you? Hurry up and show yourself! Let me give you a quick death!" Murong Chuyan said hatefully as he crushed the jade cup.
At this moment, his gaze fell on a woman in simple and elegant clothes.
This woman had a delicate face, but her expression was indifferent, as if she was not affected by the people around her. Her white dress was particularly eye-catching among the colorful clothes.
Murong Chuyan's eyes lit up as he waved his hand at Liu Sanpao,""Bring that woman in white over!”
Liu Sanpao quickly followed the order. When he saw Yun Xue Rao, he was stunned," Yo, isn't this the Young Miss of the Yun Residence?"”
When Yun Xuechu and Yun Xuebi saw this person, their expressions changed drastically. They quickly turned their faces away while Yun Xue Shuang hid behind Yun Xue Rao in fear.
Liu Sanpao looked at the five sisters of the Yun family and smiled especially wretchedly." It seems that I, Liu Sanpao, am really fated with the daughters of the Yun family! Miss Yun, please!"
Yun Xue Rao was startled and asked nervously,"Where to?"
"Our crown prince invited the young miss to the flower pavilion for a gathering!”
Hearing this, Yun Xue Rao was completely dumbfounded. Why did he choose her?
Yun Xuechu was naturally unwilling to give up. Now that she finally had a chance to turn things around, how could she let it slip away so easily? At least he could see the crown prince up close. He might even have a chance…
She braced herself and smiled at Liu Sanpao," Master Liu, the five of us sisters came together today. It wasn't easy for us to come to the palace just to catch a glimpse of the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has summoned Eldest Sister, why don't the five of us greet the Crown Prince together?"”
Liu Sanpao thought about it and nodded repeatedly," Alright, alright!”
He had a plan in his heart. He would take this opportunity to let the Crown Prince take a look and then ask the Crown Prince to propose marriage another day. He would be able to make a profit by marrying any one of the sisters in the Residence of Yun…
When Yun Xuechu heard this, she was naturally overjoyed. She held Yun Xuebi's left hand and Yun Xuezhi's right hand as she said hypocritically,""Let's go over and give Eldest Sister some courage!”
