Not long after Li Chengqian waited in the Eastern Palace, a palace servant reported that a nanny was seeking an audience.
Li Chengqian immediately allowed the other party to enter the hall.
"This servant greets Your Highness!"
The nanny slowly walked to a position several meters away from Li Chengqian and bowed respectfully.
Li Chengqian waved his hand nonchalantly, and the latter kowtowed and stood up.
"May I know what orders Your Highness has for me to come?”
The granny lowered her head and asked carefully.
Li Chengqian glanced at the other party and didn't play charades with her. He said directly.
"The portraits of these beauties haven't been presented to Your Majesty yet, right?”
"That beauty called Wu Meiniang seems to be a little ugly. It is difficult for her to enter the hall of elegance…"
Granny: ???
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the nanny was confused…
Damn, you call a beauty ugly?
If it was really ugly, why would you be so distracted by it?
If it were anyone else, the nanny would have scolded them on the spot.
However, the person in front of her was not someone she could provoke.
The nanny also heard the meaning in Li Chengqian's words, but her expression revealed a trace of embarrassment.
"Your Highness, this beauty…"
"Clang!"
Before the nanny could finish her words, Li Chengqian threw out a money bag and dropped it in front of her. From the sound, she knew that the money bag was filled with silver.
"Gulp!"
The granny looked at the money bag in front of her and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She was tempted!
"This servant…I know what to do!"
Hearing such an answer, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You are a smart person. This prince does not wish for a third person to know about this matter!”
The nanny hurriedly agreed.
"This servant understands!"
"This servant will take her leave!"
With that, the nanny picked up the money bag on the ground and put it into her sleeve without leaving a trace. She turned around and left quickly.
After taking this silver, he naturally had to do something, and he could not leak the news.
Otherwise, she would definitely be the first to suffer.
Li Chengqian heaved a long sigh of relief as he looked at the palace that had quieted down once again. He was surprisingly happy and even a little excited!
Only by stopping Wu Meiniang from becoming a martial talent would he have a chance to get her.
Otherwise, if Li Er took a fancy to him, how could he still have a share?
After receiving the silver, the nanny quickly returned to her room. On the table was a stack of portraits of beautiful women.
These portraits would be presented to Li Er the next day to read, and he would select a satisfied beauty to fill the harem.
The granny's heart was like a transparent person. She immediately found the portrait of Wu Meiniang.
Although the Wu Meiniang in the portrait was not as outstanding as the real Wu Meiniang, she was still considered beautiful!
If this portrait was sent to Li Er, he would definitely be selected to fill the harem.
The nanny picked up a brush and ink from the side and carefully dotted a few black moles on the face of the portrait, adding a few ink strokes to the eyebrows.
After this fiddling, the beauty on the portrait immediately weakened a little.
The nanny looked at it carefully to make sure that the beauty of the portrait did not enter Li Er's eyes. Only then did she feel satisfied and relieved.
He thought to himself that it was so easy to earn money!
This was not the first time she had done something like this.
In the past, if any of the young ladies offended her or did not know how to please her, they would be added to the story…
Therefore, the granny was able to handle things with ease and did not take it to heart at all.
In a room not far away, the beautiful women were still looking forward to being selected and getting a chance to jump through the dragon gate!
Among them, Wu Meiniang also had the same thoughts. However, she felt uneasy and could not understand why.
At the same time, the scene of her meeting Li Chengqian at the palace gate appeared in Wu Meiniang's mind!
Li Chengqian's handsome face seemed to have been imprinted in Wu Meiniang's heart and could not be erased.
The next day, the palace servants sent all the portraits of the beautiful women to the royal study.
Li Er, who was reading the memorial, glanced at it and put it down. He took a deep breath and took a break to look at the portrait of the beautiful girl.
Whenever Li Er thought that a pretty girl was a portrait, he would use a red pen to draw a stroke on the portrait.
Soon, Li Er saw the portrait of Wu Mei Niang. He frowned slightly and felt an inexplicable pity in his heart.
"This woman…His facial features are not bad, but it's a pity that he has mole spots…"
After saying that, Li Er threw the portrait of Wu Mei Niang to the side. The palace servants who were waiting on the side quickly crumpled it into a ball and took it away as waste paper.
After a short while, Li Er chose the one he liked from the many portraits of the beauties. The other beauties who were not chosen were naturally sent out of the palace.
The palace servants came out of the royal study and immediately went to the palace garden where the beautiful women were.
All the beautiful women gathered in the open space in the courtyard, waiting for the palace maids to call their names!
Any beautiful girl whose name was called would be led to the harem by a special palace servant…
"Xu Qingqing!"
"Zhao Xiao Yu."
"Wang Ruowei…"
......
"Alright, all the beautiful girls whose names were called, come with me.”
"As for the other ladies whose names haven't been called, leave the palace immediately!”
"Leave the palace before the palace gates close, and don't linger. Otherwise, if you're caught by the Imperial Army, you'll be caned!”
After the palace maid finished speaking, she led the group of ecstatic beautiful women away.
There were quite a number of female cultivators in the courtyard who were not selected, and everyone's faces were filled with disappointment.
However, one of them couldn't understand why he wasn't selected.
Wu Meiniang was originally full of confidence in herself, but after reading the list of candidates, her name was still not there. She began to doubt her life.
One had to know that among the many beautiful women, Wu Mei Niang's beauty was the best. The other beautiful women were weaker in front of her.
But now, she had actually failed!
