"His Majesty has arrived!"
A eunuch's voice rang out.
Lin Xiao, dressed in a black dragon robe, strode into the inner hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zi Xuan hurriedly came up to greet him.”
Those beauties also turned around and bowed to Lin Xiao, saying in unison,""Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When they saw Lin Xiao, whose features were well-defined and his brows were filled with a noble aura, their beautiful eyes could not help but glow with splendor.
His Majesty…seemed to be even more handsome than the rumors said.
Lin Xiao raised his hand, indicating for everyone to skip the formalities.
" Your Majesty," Zi Xuan said softly," these are all beautiful women who have come from all over the world. They have gone through many rounds of selection. Their looks and figures are all excellent."”
"And chastity, there are palace maids who have checked, please rest assured, Your Majesty.”
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and then sized up the women.
Just as Zi Xuan had said, every woman standing here was extremely beautiful.
Although it wasn't a disaster for the country, it was enough to cause countless men to go crazy.
His gaze suddenly paused and stopped on one of the women. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although this woman was dressed in palace robes like the others, her appearance could be said to be beautiful and flawless.
Not only that, even her figure was exquisite and attractive.
The most eye-catching thing about her was her phoenix eyes, which could inadvertently attract people's souls.
It was definitely worthy of the words 'bringing disaster to the country and the people'.
Lin Xiao walked up unhurriedly, raised his palm, and pinched the other party's white chin.""What's your name?"
A hint of panic flashed across the woman's beautiful eyes."This little girl…is called Lin Wanrou.”
"Not a bad name."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and let go.
Before Lin Wanrou could heave a sigh of relief, she heard Lin Xiao's calm voice,""Come to my bedroom tonight."
The moment these words came out, Lin Wanrou was instantly stunned.
This Lin Wanrou was too insensible!
"Hurry up and thank His Majesty!"
Zi Xuan was a little speechless in her heart and hurriedly urged.
Only then did Lin Wanrou come back to her senses and lowered her head."Thank…Thank you, Your Majesty…"
Feeling the envy of the people around her, she felt a little bitter.
"Your Majesty, the others…" Zi Xuan probed.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything. He was obviously thinking.
"I beg Your Majesty to leave this little girl in the palace.”
A beautiful woman suddenly spoke, her voice full of pleading.
The others also reacted and said in unison,"Your Majesty, please allow it."
They had traveled thousands of miles to the capital just to participate in the Consort Selection Ceremony.
If he was eliminated, he would probably be too ashamed to face anyone in the future.
"Since that's the case, let's all stay.”
Lin Xiao paused for a moment before continuing," Report to the Internal Affairs Office later. Let Liu Fu arrange everything!"”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
The girls bowed to Lin Xiao one after another. While they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts, they could not help but feel a little excited.
What kind of person was this Emperor Xiao in front of him?
If he could get the other party's favor, wouldn't he soar to the sky?
Although the women did not say it out loud, Lin Xiao knew it very well in his heart. However, he did not care.
In the eyes of the weak, they were goddesses who were high above and could not be offended.
In front of a truly powerful person, they would take the initiative to submit to him.
In the end, everything was just weighing the pros and cons.
He needed their beauty, and they needed his power.
Why not?
Lin Xiao swept his gaze around, then turned around and left the Thearch Palace.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The girls, led by Zi Xuan, bowed to Lin Xiao's back.
Almost as soon as Lin Xiao left, the girls no longer concealed their feelings and cast envious gazes at Lin Wanrou.
"Wanrou, you're really amazing. You were chosen by His Majesty the moment you arrived!”
"Yeah, if only I could be like you.”
They were very clear that Lin Wanrou was valued by the Emperor and would soon become a phoenix.
Now, he naturally had to build a good relationship in advance.
However, in the face of these words, Lin Wanyu could not help but faintly reveal a bitter smile.
She really wanted to say that she was different from all of them.
But in the end, he still did not say it.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was night time.
Lin Wanrou stood outside the bedchamber, but her two hands that were as smooth as jade kept twisting back and forth.
Her beautiful face seemed to be struggling.
After a long while, Lin Wanrou finally made a decision. A hint of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"This servant Lin Wanrou requests an audience."
She came to the front of the bedroom and spoke softly.
"Come in."
Lin Xiao's calm voice came from within.
At this moment, he was sitting at a table with a pot of tea leaves that had just been brewed.
Seeing Lin Wanrou walk in, he pointed to the other side of the table.""Sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Wanrou bit her lips and then sat down at the place Lin Xiao pointed at.
The scene fell into a brief silence.
"Why are you standing outside and refusing to come in?”
Lin Xiao suddenly spoke. His voice was calm, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Now, his cultivation had already reached the Primordial Soul realm.
Even if he didn't do it intentionally, he could still clearly sense every movement within a hundred meters.
He had seen the other party's performance.
Lin Wanrou's heart turned slightly cold. She really didn't know how to explain.
"Could it be that someone forced you to come, so you feel indignant?" Lin Xiao looked at the teacup and said softly.”
The moment these words came out, Lin Wanrou immediately panicked a little.
She quickly stood up from her seat and knelt down before Lin Xiao.""Your Majesty, Wanrou is willing to serve Your Majesty. Please investigate!”
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Xiao's expression did not change at all, as if he had already expected it.
Actually, he had already noticed that Lin Wanrou's performance was different from the others back in the inner hall.
Especially when he asked her to come to the bedroom tonight, her first reaction was obviously a little resistant.
Although it was quickly covered up, Lin Xiao still caught it.
This was not the performance of a woman who was participating in the consort selection ceremony and hoped to soar to the sky.
Coupled with the scene just now, he already had some vague guesses.
Lin Wanrou was very likely a chess piece that a certain prince had specially placed in the Thearch Palace.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Lin Xiao said softly,""Get up. I was just asking casually. There's no need to take it to heart.”
"Yes…Your Majesty."
Lin Wanrou's performance was clearly not as calm as it was in the beginning, appearing somewhat reserved.
