I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Chenshi

When Ling Xiyue and Xiaoyin walked to the gate together, they saw Madam He and Ling Chuchen, mother and daughter. They had been waiting in front of the gate, waiting for the carriage to arrive.

Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Chuchen as she walked. She saw that she was dressed gorgeously and had exquisite makeup. She was obviously dressed up carefully and was indeed bright and dazzling.

Ling Xiyue had some concerns in her heart, thinking: This Ling Chuchen is still quite pretty. If the Crown Prince sees her appearance during the election, I'm afraid it will be too late to stop her. It seems that I have to take action before she sees the Crown Prince.

Ling Xiyue walked up to Madam He and the others. She didn't call anyone but simply bowed.

Madam He and Ling Chuchen kept their eyes on Ling Xiyue. Seeing that Ling Xiyue was dressed so simply, they felt a little confused.

When Ling Xiyue approached, Ling Chuchen laughed at her, "Sister, do you have no clothes? If not, ask me to borrow some. You will be laughed at if you dress like this."

Ling Xiyue snorted in her heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I have gorgeous clothes, but I just suddenly don't want to wear them."

"Oh, do you want to help your sister?" Ling Chuchen smiled maliciously.

Ling Xiyue's lips showed a hint of evil charm, and she responded with a smile, "As a sister, it's my duty to give way to my sister, isn't it?"

"Is it true or false?" Ling Chuchen asked deliberately.

"If you say it's true, then it's true." Ling Xiyue deliberately kept the suspense, but still answered with a smile.

Looking at Ling Xiyue who was smiling so "weirdly", Ling Chuchen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.

But, after thinking about it carefully, she saw that Ling Xiyue today was indeed not as beautiful as her, and the worries in her heart disappeared immediately.

She is very confident in herself.

At this time, the carriage from the mansion drove over, and Ling Xiyue and Ling Chuchen took the carriage to the palace together.

The maid Xiaoyin and Ling Chuchen's maid Zhouer stayed in the mansion and did not go with them.

After arriving at the palace, they were led by the eunuchs to a place to wait.

At this time, there were already twelve or thirteen women waiting here. They not only had outstanding looks and figures, but were also dressed exquisitely and appropriately.

Ling Xiyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, the women who can be selected are all carefully selected. Now it seems that I am the only one who dresses the most ordinary. In this case, His Royal Highness the First Prince will definitely not like me. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

When the women saw Ling Xiyue and her sisters, they began to look them up and down. When they saw that Ling Chuchen was more outstanding than them, a hint of jealousy appeared on their faces. But when they saw Ling Xiyue, they began to become confident again.

None of them came forward to say hello, they just waited quietly.

After looking at all the women in the audience, Ling Chuchen found that none of them was more beautiful than her. Suddenly, her heart was filled with joy.

When the Si hour arrived, the twenty female candidates lined up and followed the eunuchs to their "destination".

Ling Xiyue deliberately asked Ling Chuchen to stand in front of her.

After walking a short distance, we arrived at the gate of a palace.

The leading eunuch stopped and told the twenty women, "You all wait here. When the Queen Mother gives the order, go in together."

"Yes."

The leading eunuch said this and walked into the palace.

Ling Xiyue knew that this was a good opportunity to take action. She secretly took out the small bottle from her waist, uncapped the bottle, deliberately twisted her foot, and threw herself on Ling Chuchen's back. She took the opportunity to pour out the caterpillars in the small bottle and poured them on Ling Chuchen's collar.

When Ling Chuchen saw Ling Xiyue approaching, he nudged Ling Xiyue with his elbow in disgust, then took a step forward, not wanting to get close to Ling Xiyue.

"Sorry, I sprained my ankle just now." Ling Xiyue pretended to apologize.

Quickly she stood up and put the small bottle back on her waist.

Ling Xiyue had been staring at Ling Chuchen's collar. When she saw the caterpillar crawling to Ling Chuchen's neck, she was overjoyed.

When the caterpillar crawled to Ling Chuchen's neck, Ling Chuchen felt something. She thought it was an ordinary insect and directly grabbed it with her hand. When she caught the caterpillar in her hand and looked at it carefully, her face suddenly changed.

I really couldn't hold it back.

"Ah - bug -"

While screaming, she hurriedly threw the caterpillar in her hand to the ground.

At this moment, she had goose bumps all over her body, and her hands that were holding the caterpillar were shaking constantly.

Ling Chuchen's scream attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at her.

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting in the main seat of the palace, was very displeased when she heard the shouting, and she gave orders to the eunuchs around her.

"Go ask who was the one who made the loud noise just now?"

"Yes."

The eunuch walked outside the palace and asked the candidate sternly, "Who was making the noise just now?"

At this time, Ling Chuchen had not yet recovered from his shock.

It was the candidate next to them, and they all pointed at Ling Chuchen tacitly.

When the eunuch saw Ling Chuchen, he walked up to her and said sternly, "Which family's daughter are you from?"

Ling Chuchen was still frightened when she saw the eunuch coming over. She said excitedly: "Just now there was a worm on my neck..."

The eunuch interrupted Ling Chuchen impatiently, "Which family are you from? Just answer me."

Ling Chuchen's heart skipped a beat, and he answered honestly, "My daughter is Ling Chuchen, the second daughter of the Minister of Industry."

The eunuch who got the answer said nothing more and walked straight into the hall.

Ling Chuchen was feeling uneasy at this moment.

Not long after, the eunuch came out again and looked at Ling Chuchen.

"Ling Chuchen, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Industry, made a scene over a trivial matter, totally disregarding her status and image. Such an unstable person is not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family. The Queen Mother has issued an imperial decree, ordering her to leave the palace immediately and not to participate in the candidacy again."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Chuchen was stunned, "But, but..."

She wanted to argue.

After the eunuch heard this, he asked sternly, "How dare you question the Empress Dowager's decree?"

Ling Chuchen was stunned and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"Step back." the eunuch said again.

"Yes." When Ling Chuchen turned around and left, he did not forget to glare at Ling Xiyue.

Ling Xiyue was overjoyed, but in order to hide her identity, she deliberately put on an uncomfortable expression.

Looking at Ling Chuchen's slowly leaving back, Ling Xiyue reluctantly called out, "Sister, sister."

After the eunuch saw Ling Chuchen walking away, he said to the candidates, "You five people should line up and come in order."

"Yes."

The young ladies walked slowly into the palace in order.

They lined up in four rows of five and stood in the middle of the palace.

Ling Xiyue stood in the last row.

She raised her head slightly and looked straight ahead.

She judged based on their ages that the person sitting in the main seat was the Empress Dowager, the person sitting on her right was the Empress, and the person sitting on her left was the Crown Prince.

When she saw the eldest prince, she was shocked by his appearance. What a handsome man, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and somewhat sexy lips.

But, suddenly, I felt that it looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but I just couldn't remember where.
