Forbidden City.
Nearly 40 beautiful women who were preparing for the final selection were standing outside the Forbidden City.
Looking at the majestic Forbidden City, he could not help but feel excited.
This was the residence of the current emperor!
The place where Da Ming's security was the strictest!
However, although they were curious, the group of beautiful women only dared to secretly look at it and did not dare to whisper to each other.
This was because this was not his own residence, nor was it the bustling city of the capital.
Even the slightest inconspicuous action could be recorded in his eyes.
If it was light, he would be expelled from the palace and never be allowed to participate in the selection!
If it was serious, his head would fall to the ground, and he might even implicate his family!
In short.
Even if he was shocked or surprised, he had to remain calm.
Otherwise…
He didn't even know how he died.
While the group of beautiful women were admiring the Forbidden City, they were also shocked.
He was also thinking about the owner of the Forbidden City and what the current emperor looked like.
Handsome? Or might? Or rough?
It became something that the female cultivator didn't dare to guess but was extremely curious about.
The city gates opened.
The leading palace maid appeared in everyone's line of sight.
"Until now."
"Everyone is about to meet His Majesty.”
"Please be in your best condition.”
"Presented to His Majesty."
The palace maid smiled and bowed.
His attitude was also polite.
After all, a large portion of these people could become the emperor's concubines.
Now that they were on good terms, there would be another way out.
"Please move."
"Follow me."
……
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
At this moment, the outer court of Earth Tranquility Palace was bustling with activity. Nearly forty beautiful women were dressed up meticulously.
It was to let herself shine and get the emperor's favor.
Other than the ones the Empress Dowager had chosen for the Emperor, there were only about 40 women left from the selection.
Each of these women had a refined temperament and were beautiful and moving, like fairies.
Most of the world's qualifiers had to take into account the emperor's preferences.
Charming, cold, pure, voluptuous, there were all kinds of them.
It was to satisfy Tian Zi.
These girls of all shapes and sizes were also looking forward to meeting the current emperor.
After all, no one had seen it before.
What did the most powerful man in the world look like?
They only knew that the emperor ascended the throne at a young age and was the wise ruler of the Ming Dynasty!
The empress dowager looked at these beautiful women and nodded repeatedly. From time to time, she would look outside the main door of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
"Why isn't the emperor here yet?"
Empress Dowager Zhang asked the servant girl beside her, and the servant girl replied in a low voice.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager."
"I've already informed him just now. His Majesty said that he would arrive shortly.”
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded. She was also constantly observing these beauties to test their patience.
After all.
After marrying into the royal family, there were many rules.
At this moment, the beautiful women were looking at the spacious and luxurious Earth Tranquility Palace with envy.
He hoped that he could also obtain a place in this deep palace.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Eunuch Gao's shout attracted the attention of all the female cultivators.
They all cast their gazes towards the entrance of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to see what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked like.
Was he really as handsome as the legends said?
Zhu Houzhao was dressed in a dragon robe and was very formal. He wore the Emperor's Sword and strode towards Empress Dowager Zhang.
This appearance attracted the attention of all the beautiful women.
Zhu Houzhao's facial features were well-defined, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He looked dignified, causing many beautiful girls to lower their heads and blush.
Most of the young women were between fourteen and sixteen years old.
Once one exceeded this age, they would lose the qualifications to become the emperor's concubine.
And the selected ladies were all daughters of noble families and did not leave the courtyard.
At this moment, seeing the Emperor, his heart was naturally beating wildly.
They all showed their best side, hoping that the emperor would take another look at them.
Compared to other beautiful women, it was a rare topic of conversation.
"Your son greets mother."
"There is no need to be so polite, Emperor."
"Bestow your seat."
Zhu Houzhao sat on the left side of Empress Dowager Zhang, looking at these beautiful women who were like flowers.
He was in a good mood.
Empress Dowager Zhang saw that the Emperor had also come and nodded, ordering the eunuchs beside her.
"Let's begin."
The first was Wen Rong, the daughter of the county magistrate of Hedong County.
She looked pure and moving.
She only applied a little makeup, but it brought out her entire temperament.
Today, she was wearing a long white dress, like a lotus flower emerging from the water.
Looking at the handsome Zhu Houzhao, her face blushed.
The Emperor saw this woman nod her head, and Empress Dowager Zhang smiled in satisfaction.
This was considered as staying.
The second was the young lady of Liuhe Prefecture, Si Fan.
This woman was only sixteen years old, and she was extremely charming, charming, and enchanting.
Especially that pair of eyes, like autumn water.
It made people feel as if they had fallen into it.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Si Fan's figure and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Seeing the Emperor nod, Empress Dowager Zhang also gave him a token, representing that he had entered the harem.
The third was the merchant's daughter, Xu Qingzhou.
Her skin was as white as snow, without a single flaw, just like a porcelain doll.
Her figure was petite and lovely, making people love her just by looking at her.
Zhu Houzhao also looked good. After a while, many beautiful women entered the harem.
The woman who was brought up now was obviously more arrogant than the others. Her head was raised as she walked.
This woman was the granddaughter of the previous cabinet assistant, Chen Lingling.
Her status was noble and her looks were among the best.
Just as Zhu Houzhao was swaying unsteadily, a cat jumped down from the courtyard wall and rushed into the crowd of beauties.
Chen Lingling was shocked and panicked.
"Where did this dead wild cat come from?"
"Someone come quickly."
As she said that, she fled in all directions, not looking like a lady from a noble family at all.
Zhu Houzhao's expression gradually darkened as he shook his head.
Empress Dowager Zhang was also quite dissatisfied with this woman.
How dare he be so presumptuous in the Forbidden City!
Where was the royal family's face?
Empress Dowager Zhang cleared her throat, her expression dignified.
"This girl doesn't have the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.”
"You're so flustered at such a young age.”
"What a disgrace!"
"Press it out."
"Eighty Court Battles!"
"Never enter the harem!"
The Empress Dowager's words shocked all the beautiful women.
Zhu Lingling shouted in panic.
"My grandfather was an important minister in the cabinet.”
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty."
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
However, the Emperor still did not move. The eunuchs were dragged out under the eyes of the beautiful women.
The female cultivators were all surprised, but no matter how afraid they were, they didn't dare to make a sound.
"So what if your grandfather was an important official of the previous dynasty?”
"Remember this!"
"The emperor you serve!"
"Great Ming's Emperor!"
"If there are those who are afraid, they will withdraw sooner or later.”
"Not every woman has the chance to serve the emperor!”
Empress Dowager Zhang was extremely strict at this time, without the slightest bit of kindness from before.
After all, she dared to do this before entering the palace.
Wouldn't that mean he was going to ascend to the heavens?
The other female cultivators also felt the pressure of the Forbidden City and suppressed the fear in their hearts.
Such a small matter was worth eighty court battles!
After eating these 80 court battles, it was a problem whether the rich young lady who had lived like a prince could survive. She would probably lose her life in an instant.
One could see how strict the royal family was!
That dragon face was even more irreversible!
Whether it was an important official in the court or a woman from an ordinary family.
Here!
Treat everyone equally!
If you make a mistake, you have to be punished!
The remaining female cultivators also forced themselves to calm down, afraid that they would be implicated.
The selection of talents was carried out in an orderly manner. Among these people, there were also those who did not meet the emperor's wishes. They also received their rewards and returned home.
Zhu Houzhao only noticed it when the last female cultivator appeared.
This person was his cousin, Princess Yun Luo.
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Just as Zhu Houzhao was hesitating, a thought appeared in his mind.
Then, he smiled and nodded.
Princess Yun Luo naturally beamed with joy.
There was indeed a deeper meaning.
It was unfathomable.
Second update! There was something urgent at home today, so she went to the hospital.
I'm really sorry that I just came back.
The 2500-word chapter was dedicated to the readers.
I'll write and update immediately!
The data hadn't changed for a day! A ticket!
Thank you!
