Everyone understood,
The purchase ratio was less than 40%..,
For the time being, there was no update..
Under the arrangement of more than ten eunuchs and many nannies..,
Dozens of beauties lined up and quietly walked into the side door of the Forbidden Palace.
Everyone had learned the rules, and they were basically the daughters of big families. They had been strictly taught since they were young.
What kind of loud noise was deliberately showing off, and so on..,
There still wouldn't be.
Even if there was..,
It wasn't now.
The Emperor hadn't even been seen..,
Who were you performing for?
Even among the many carefully selected beauties with their own characteristics, Baoqin was still extremely outstanding.
She only stood there quietly without saying a word,
It was an exquisite painting that made people look sideways.
Among the many unclear, obscure, or obvious gazes, there was one gaze that was so malicious that Baoqin also looked towards that person.
The first thing that caught her eye was a bright red dress,
It was full of jewels and flowers, completely covering the brilliance of the owner of the plain clothes.
This person..,
Who was it but Miss Mei who had been slapped by her?
Baoqin smiled slightly and turned her gaze away,
Miss Mei couldn't help but grit her teeth,
The hatred in her heart was about to overflow.
No wonder this vixen was in a hurry to break off the engagement with her brother. It turned out that this was her idea!
Just watch..,
The harem wasn't a place where beauty could make a name for oneself.
A lowly merchant's daughter..,
How could she be a match for these noble ladies?
She had beauty, but her stomach was full of idiots,
Even if such a person was favored for a while..,
It wouldn't last long.
With this thought in mind..,
Mei Danhua felt her heart calmed down.
It was her first time entering the most honorable place in the world. Baoqin carefully sized it up with the mentality of admiring a historical site.
However, as soon as she entered, she saw a huge empty square. The ground was paved with white marble, and there were many silver-armored guards standing around. All of them were tall and had good faces. She couldn't help but think of the national honor guard she had seen before.
After passing through three white stone arch bridges, she saw a towering palace. It had vermilion walls and green tiles, and it was dignified and grand.
However, their group of beauties had not been led into the main hall. They probably did not have the qualifications.
Baoqin guessed that it was probably the place where the Emperor held court.
After bypassing the main hall and walking along the spacious green brick corridor for a while, the beauties arrived in front of a palace that was neither grand nor exquisite. They were guided to a stop.
It seemed that this was the place they were going to today.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the eunuch to start announcing names.
The girls whose names were called walked in one by one. Five in a row, they were inspected.
After seeing the first beauty come out crying, the other beauties, who were already nervous, became even more nervous.
Among the crowd of restless beauties, Baoqin, who was calm and collected, became more and more eye-catching.
A slender and handsome figure disappeared behind a begonia beside the palace.
All the beauties' attention was focused on the palace, so naturally, no one noticed that figure.
Even if the bodyguards and eunuchs noticed, they wouldn't make a sound and disturb the mood of the most honorable person in the world.
The new Emperor, Zhu Youtang, was actually not very interested in today's selection.
He wholeheartedly wanted to become an emperor who could restore prosperity, stabilize the world, and achieve prosperity. He didn't care much about beauties.
Moreover, the Empress was virtuous and the Consort Xian was beautiful. He was already satisfied with having a son and a daughter. The selection was only because of the ancestral rules.
If one were to say that he himself attached much importance to this matter, that was not the case.
Therefore, he handed over the selection of beauties to the Empress and the Consort Xian. He didn't plan to come and take a look himself.
At this time, he came because he was a little tired from reading the memorials in the Imperial Study. He came out for a walk.
He actually walked here unknowingly.
When he saw the delicate flowers and soft jade, he realized that he had come to the Ronghua Palace for the selection.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel very lucky that he had come.
Otherwise, he might have missed it.
Among a group of beauties with their own merits, that beautiful figure didn't have the slightest intention of hiding in the crowd. She stood out in his field of vision.
He felt that his heart was beating violently, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
He was about to stand up in his thirties. He had gone through ups and downs, and had a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines. How could he still feel the throbbing of a young boy's love for the first time?
Really, it was better not to meet such a beautiful woman …
Baoqin's five senses were quite sharp. In fact, she had already noticed that scorching and somewhat unscrupulous gaze.
But she immediately remembered that except for the Emperor, who else would dare to look at the beauties so presumptuously?
Thinking of this, she didn't care about that gaze.
If he wanted to look, he could look as much as he wanted.
Speaking of which, didn't the Emperor choose a concubine for himself in the hall?
Instead of looking at the beauties openly, he hid here and looked at them secretly.
This hobby of his was really unusual.
There weren't many beauties. Soon, it was Baoqin's turn.
Among the five of them, there happened to be the girl from the Mei family.
At this time, she was so excited that her face was flushed red. She was so excited that it almost overflowed from her body.
After hearing her name, Baoqin's expression became serious. She followed a tall beauty into the hall.
The girl from the Mei family was at the end of the line. Although her appearance was not eye-catching, her gorgeous dress was very eye-catching.
Stepping into the hall, Baoqin's nose smelled a strong scent of incense. It smelled like osmanthus flowers mixed with jasmine and a little orange peel.
Although it was strong, it didn't smell bad.
Involuntarily, she moved her eyes. Although she didn't look up, she could clearly see the two noblewomen sitting on the thrones.
The one sitting in the middle must be the Empress.
She was born with a beautiful face that was commonly seen in the capital. Her chin was round, and her eyes were gentle. She looked amiable.
She was wearing an autumn-colored phoenix robe. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she wore a full set of red gold headwear inlaid with rubies. She didn't wear a phoenix crown, so she didn't look luxurious.
Looking at her gentle and tranquil temperament, it shouldn't be difficult to make a living under such a Empress as long as she followed the rules.
Beside the Empress sat an extremely delicate beauty.
She was wearing a cherry-red robe with golden embroidery and a rose-purple moonlight dress with golden embroidery.
The complicated flying phoenix bun was sparkling with pearls and emeralds. Such a splendid dress didn't suppress her elegance at all.
Her eyebrows were slender, her eyes were handsome, and she was in high spirits. She was really an extremely beautiful woman.
Baoqin guessed that this should be the Emperor's most favored Consort Xian.
It was said that there was also a Consort Xian De from the Jia family of the Rongguo Mansion. Perhaps because she was not favored by the Emperor, she didn't appear in the hall.
As soon as these five beauties came in, they attracted all the attention of the Empress and Consort Xian.
There was no other reason. It was because there were two beauties who were very outstanding.
Especially the one who was ranked second. She was simply devastatingly beautiful.
Seeing this scene, the Empress and Consort Xian's hearts were complicated.
After all, who would want to see such a beauty who could crush all the beauties by her husband's side?
This pressure was really great …
Suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, the Empress said seriously, "Let's start."
After receiving the Empress's order, the head eunuch wearing a python robe next to her began to announce the names, "Du's daughter, named Chunhan.
Year 15, daughter of Du Nan, Governor of Liangjiang … "
Governor of Liangjiang, secondary first rank, the daughter of a high-ranking official with real power!
Coupled with Du Chunhan's elegant, aloof, and otherworldly bearing and her extraordinarily exquisite facial features, she was obviously a formidable opponent!
The Empress looked at Du Chunhan who came out to salute, smiled slightly, and turned to ask, "Consort Xian, what do you think?"
What do I think?
I want to say no, but do I dare?
She is the daughter of a secondary first rank border official, and she is so outstanding. If you don't want her, why don't you find a suitable reason first?
Although Consort Xian had a country-destroying appearance, she was not stupid. She immediately smiled and said, "It's all up to the Empress. I just came to see something new."
Hearing this, the Empress did not say anything. She turned to look at Du Chunhan, who was standing in the middle of the hall with an outstanding temperament, and asked, "Miss Du, have you studied before?"
Du Chunhan's voice was not soft, just enough to be heard, but not harsh to the ears, "Replying to the Empress, I started learning when I was five years old. I am familiar with poetry and books.
I have dabbled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. "
While speaking, a trace of pride appeared between her elegant and distant brows. She was obviously very proud of her talent.
Well, this was a talented girl.
Hearing this, the Empress and Consort Xian felt their hearts become heavier, but their expressions did not change.
For a woman in the harem, it was the most basic skill to not have emotions.
The Empress opened her mouth and said, "I have heard about the Du family. Their upbringing is excellent.
Miss Du is so talented that she is suitable to serve by His Majesty's side. "She paused, and then said with a smile," Keep her. "
Hearing this, Du Chunhan did not show any obvious joy. She only bowed and thanked the Empress.
Obviously, she was mentally prepared to be chosen.
Next, it was Xue Baoqin's turn.
The Empress and Imperial Concubine Xian perked up and looked at the beautiful woman who slowly walked out to greet them.
When they heard the eunuch call out the name and heard that Xue Baoqin was the Empress of Ziwei, the two consorts let out a sigh of relief.
It turned out that she was just a merchant's daughter.
If this beauty was matched with a top family, what could other people do?
It seemed that the heavens were fair.
