Shaohua is Junqing

This scene was seen clearly by Siyu, Nanny Kong and Liu Mu who were standing on a high place.

"Mrs. Kong."

"Yes, county lord."

Nanny Kong came to the Imperial Garden.

"Stop it, all of you." There was a solemn and mature tone in his voice.

When the ladies heard the sound, they immediately stopped their movements, and those who were twisting in a ball hurriedly got up from the ground. Their clothes were dirty, their hair was messy, and they no longer looked like ladies from wealthy families.

"All four people who just fought are eliminated."

"I was just impulsive, please forgive me this time." When he heard that he was going to be eliminated, he suddenly panicked.

"If you forgive me this time, there will be another time. Do you think the palace rules are just for show?"

"Mommy."

"No need to say more, leave the palace immediately."

"Yes."

Madam Kong ordered her maids and page boys to escort the four people out of the palace, while she took the remaining six beauties to settle elsewhere.

There were still thirty beauties left in Chuxiu Palace. Following the same method, groups of ten entered the Imperial Garden. After three rounds, six more beauties were eliminated.

At this point, the selection of beauties in the capital has been completed, and thirty people have been chosen. The next step is to wait for beauties from all over the country to come to the capital.

The royal selection was in full swing. Although Su Xunxian was not interested in the selection, he was not idle. He often wandered around the major restaurants in the capital, and recently he discovered something new.

Prince Chen’s Palace, Qiu Shuang Pavilion.

"Mo Ran, I found something interesting these days. Can I tell you about it?"

"speak."

"The major restaurants and hotels in the capital city have come up with something called a 'menu', which lists the names of various dishes and drinks, and even the prices, so that people can see everything clearly at a glance."

Beitang Mo Ran knew what was going on as soon as he heard the word "menu". He and Si Yu had gone to Zuixianju for dinner before and she had mentioned the menu, so he was not surprised when he heard it now.

"I don't know who came up with this idea, but it's now popular all over the capital!"

"That's what Siyu thought." Beitang Mo Ran said lightly.

Su Xunxian spat out a mouthful of tea after hearing this, and Beitang Mo Ran glanced at him with disgust.

"It was the princess who thought of it. Her ideas are always unexpected. I wonder how she came up with it."

“She said that’s how it’s done in her hometown.”

"So that's how it is. The princess is different from others."

"How can others compare with her?" Beitang Mo Ran's tone was filled with pride.

In order to prevent the selection process from being leaked, all those who enter the palace to participate in the selection will be arranged uniformly by the palace. They must live in the palace and cannot leave the palace until the selection is over.

A few days later, the first batch of beautiful women from other places had arrived in Beijing. Siyu and others screened them according to the same standards and methods, leaving ten people, followed by the second, third and fourth batches. After all of them were screened, a total of forty people were left.

The audition is over and the finalists have been determined. Siyu, Liu Mu and Nanny Kong ask to see the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Shoukang Palace.

"Your humble servant Siyu, your humble servant Liu Mu, I, Kong, pay my respects to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

"No need to be polite. The three of you will come to see me together. But what are the results of the selection?"

"Your Majesty, yes, there are a total of seventy beauties who were finally selected. This is the list. Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, please take a look." Siyu said.

Eunuch Zhou took the list and presented it to the emperor.

"There are as many as seventy people, which is a gratifying number." The Queen Mother was obviously very satisfied with the result.

"Whether these people can finally enter the palace depends on the decision of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Should we summon them to meet the Emperor?" Liu Mu asked.

"Your Majesty, please meet them and see if you can pick out a few that you like."

"As Mother wishes, let them wait in the Jieqi Tower of Chuxiu Palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Shaohua, you will come tomorrow too."

"My daughter obeys the order."
