Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!
Chapter 23: Inciting hatred!
The imperial palace is majestic, with high walls, and everything in sight is magnificent, solemn and dignified, demonstrating the supreme majesty of imperial power.
The beauties walked on the smooth bluestone road, their steps involuntarily lightening and taking small steps. Some were nervous, some were expectant, some were uneasy, and some were curious. Their expressions were different, but they were all equally cautious.
Even Hua Wu, who had filmed movies in the imperial palace of later generations, felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
Only Hongyaer became more and more excited, screaming excitedly, "Ahhh! Dragon energy! So much dragon energy! I am so happy! The ancestor never lied to me!"
"Hua Wu, walk faster! Walk faster!"
"Go over there, there's more dragon energy over there!"
Unfortunately, Hua Wu was still just a young lady waiting to be selected. How could she go wherever Hong Yaer told her to go?! The ladies could only follow the instructions of the eunuchs in the inner palace and turned at the door where Hong Yaer said the most dragon energy was and entered Jingyi Pavilion.
Jingyixuan is where the first selected girls from the outer palace will live.
When they arrived at the place, they were lined up in groups of 100 and visually screened by the eunuchs. Those who were too tall, too short, too thin, or too fat were all screened out.
When Hua Wu arrived, she had already seen several unsuccessful women leaving crying, while the qualified ones were taken by the maids to the side hall of Jingyixuan and arranged to stay there.
It seems that the situation was pacified quite quickly and Hua Wu passed it smoothly.
At this time, there were only about forty girls left out of the one hundred beauties in their row.
When the nanny led them to the side hall, some of the people in front were arranged into four-person rooms, some were assigned to two-person rooms, and some were coveting the main hall and were getting angry at the nanny and demanding to live in the main hall.
The person who lost her temper was Liu Yuqi, the daughter of Liu Tongxun, the Minister of War.
"My father is the Minister of War, a top official of the dynasty, holding a high position of power. Why can't I live in the main hall?!" Liu Yuqi shouted angrily.
She was the eldest daughter in the family and her father's favorite daughter. When had she ever lived in the same room with anyone else? !
How could she be willing?!
The head nanny in charge of this selection of girls, facing the furious Liu Yuqi, showed neither fear nor flattery on her face, but just said slowly: "The Queen Mother has already made an order for who will live in the main palace."
"I dare not disobey the Queen Mother's order. Please forgive me, Miss Liu."
The ladies who were originally eager to take over the main palace immediately gave up all their thoughts. Since the Queen Mother had already made her intentions, how dare they go against the Queen Mother?!
Even Liu Yuqi felt as if a ball had been poked in the air, and her arrogance immediately shrank. However, she still asked without giving up: "Who did the Queen Mother let live in the main palace?!"
I haven't heard that there is a young lady from the Queen Mother's family participating in the election this time? !
Could it be Yao Shuyi, the daughter of Yao Jin, the daughter of the admiral of Zhejiang Navy? ! Or Wei Zhuohua from the family of Grand Tutor Wei? ! Or Du Qingshang from the family of Censor Du? !
The admiral of the Zhejiang Navy controls half of the Dayan Navy and is highly trusted by the emperor; Grand Tutor Wei is a veteran of three dynasties, has hundreds of students and former officials, and has great power in the court and the country; although Censor Du's official position is not as high as the first two, he is responsible for inspecting and impeaching all officials, and is a close confidant of the emperor, and his weight is also not small.
Liu Yuqi has long regarded these three people as her strong rivals!
If this main hall really wanted to allow one of these three people to live in it, wouldn't she be the first to lose? !
Liu Yuqi was filled with hatred and jealousy. She stopped the nanny and insisted on getting an explanation.
Yao Shuyi, who had been assigned a room but had not moved in, stood silently by the side.
She also wanted to know who would live in the main hall? !
The head nanny ignored Liu Yuqi's nonsense and her eyes fell on Hua Wu. She turned and walked towards Hua Wu, respectfully performing a palace salute, "Miss Hua, the Queen Mother heard that you are frail and worried that you are not used to living in the same room with others, so she specially allocated the main hall for you to live in. Please come with me..."
The head nanny's words were like a huge rock hitting the lake, splashing huge water.
The concubines looked at Hua Wu in shock and jealousy. Their fiery and jealous gazes were like thousands of needles falling on Hua Wu's body.
What shocked me was who this Hua Wu was? Why did she receive the favor of the Queen Mother? !
What made people jealous was that Hua Wu was so beautiful, so soft and gentle that three thousand beauties looked like dust in front of her.
This is really too hateful!
Hua Wu didn't expect that what Eunuch Fu said, "Great fortune is yet to come..." would come so soon, and the Empress Dowager actually gave her the main palace to live in.
She knew very well that the Queen Mother treated her like this only because of her face.
This is not in the original book.
The heroine of the original book is beautiful, but she is dull and cowardly, like a beautiful jade covered in dust.
At first, Eunuch Fu did not take a fancy to him and reported it to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother obviously treated her as a chess piece, hoping to use her face to divide the favor of the charming heroine. She probably knew that she was too beautiful and was afraid that she would be harmed if she lived with others, so she wanted her to live alone in the main hall.
Being the pawn of the Queen Mother...is not easy!
Doing so would protect her, but it would also put her on the spot, forcing her to rely on the Queen Mother.
But that's okay!
Hua Wu is a person who eats everything except what he eats.
If a good thing is given for free, don’t take it.
Anyway, she doesn't want to live with anyone!
As for the resentment and jealousy of the other concubines, Hua Wu didn't care at all.
If she humbly declines the offer to live in the main hall, won't they be jealous of her? !
impossible!
It would be strange if she wasn't envied for looking like this!
"Yes."
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam!"
Hua Wu did not refuse, nor was she excited, she just responded calmly.
Such a calm and composed look made the head nanny look up and take a closer look at Hua Wu.
If an ordinary person received the Queen Mother's kindness, he would be grateful and shed tears no matter what. But this young lady was neither squeamish nor resistant, and her attitude was just right.
You have to know that the Queen Mother's favoritism is not necessarily a good thing.
It's no secret that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are not on good terms.
Otherwise, why did the Empress and Imperial Noble Consort, who were born in the Empress Dowager's family, fail to gain the Emperor's favor? !
In fact, everyone knows why.
If this beautiful lady were to shed tears of gratitude for the Queen Mother's kindness, she might end up causing the Emperor's dislike.
Is this lady's temper just a sign of her character, or is she...scheming? !
Suppressing the speculation in her mind, the head nanny led the way calmly, and Hua Wu followed.
There was a sound of "Swish..." and I don't know which of the concubines behind me tore the handkerchief into pieces in anger.
……
The main hall of Jingyixuan is indeed incomparable to the side halls lined up together.
Red walls, golden tiles, exquisitely carved window lattices, and gorgeous palace lanterns.
As you enter the hall, a faint scent of lilies hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.
High bed with soft sleeper, magnificent.
Hua Wu was very satisfied with this.
The head nanny arranged two palace maids for Hua Wu to serve her.
Hua Wu asked Hong Yaer to walk around the hall to make sure that no one had hidden anything dirty inside. Then she asked two palace maids to prepare water and food for washing. She had been walking and standing all day and was exhausted.
Before going to bed at night, Hua Wu closed the doors and windows, threw herself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Hua Wu woke up and was about to get out of bed to put on her shoes, but she heard Hong Yaer screaming in her mind, "Hua Wu, don't put them on yet!"
"There's something in this shoe!"
