Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

Yao Shuyi?!

How could it be her? !

That’s not right!

There was nothing like this in the book originally!

Although Yao Shuyi was not a stunning beauty, she was also pretty and elegant. In addition, she came from a good family and was approachable, so she did not have to worry about being eliminated.

In the book, she was smoothly given a nameplate, was conferred the title of noble lady, and was also given the title "Rong". She was the only one among the concubines who was given a title.

What happened this time that made Yao Shuyi, who is meticulous and cautious, choose such a controversial method?

You have to know that when a concubine encounters the emperor in the garden, it is said to be an accidental encounter, but in fact, it is just a thousand-year-old fox playing a game of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?! The women in the harem are not fools. They are very clear-headed when it comes to competing for favor.

It was a taboo in the harem for a concubine who had not yet obtained an official title to compete for favor.

Although she will enjoy great glory before the selection, she will become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many concubines after entering the palace.

Originally, for the concubines in the harem, the selection held every three years was to stimulate their sensitive nerves. If any of the concubines dared to be impatient and want to have something happen with the emperor at this time, it would be like poking a prick in their lungs.

Hua Wu knew without a second thought that once Yao Shuyi officially entered the palace, she would become the target of public criticism!

Hua Wu knew this, and she didn't believe that Yao Shuyi, who was a thoughtful person, would not know it.

Then why does she have to do this?!

Hua Wu tapped her forehead lightly with her fingers a few times, and after her beautiful eyes moved a few times, she roughly guessed why Yao Shuyi did this.

Gee...

If what she thought was true, then Yao Shuyi was indeed a scheming person.

……

During the palace selection the next day, Hua Wu did not see Yao Shuyi. What’s more interesting is that the emperor did not come to the selection site in person.

I heard that the newly-conferred Concubine Rong suddenly fainted this morning. The Emperor was worried about her health, so he entrusted the selection of concubines to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

On the day of the palace selection, the emperor did not come, and the concubines were so angry that they almost tore their handkerchiefs.

The other concubines in the harem were relieved and delighted, and had mixed feelings towards the new beauty Rong.

He hated her for breaking the rules and seducing the emperor in the garden, and making the emperor so concerned and stay by her side, but he was also happy that she had made such a fuss, because if there were any outstanding beauties among the concubines, they would have lost their chance today.

You know, there are so many beauties in the palace, and it is not easy to get a chance to meet the emperor. Who knows that if you lose such a fair chance to meet the emperor, will you never have a chance to succeed in this life? !

Each of the beautiful ladies who are as fresh and tender as flowers is a thorn in the hearts of the old ladies in the harem. They wish that these ladies would never be favored.

Hua Wu looked down at the handkerchief in her hand and smiled.

She really underestimated Yao Shuyi!

"Liu Yuqi, daughter of Liu Tongxun, the Minister of War; Dou Ruoxi, daughter of Dou Fan, the Junior Minister of Imperial Households; Hua Wu, daughter of Hua Lian, the Marquis of Jing'an; Ning Xinyue, daughter of Ning Du, the Magistrate of Qiongzhou..."

Hearing her name being called from inside, Hua Wu threw her handkerchief and followed Dou Ruoxi in front of her, walking steadily into the hall. Occasionally, she heard the sound of Ning Xinyue taking deep breaths from time to time behind her.

The four beauties from the last round of palace selection passed by them. Three of them were holding flowers and had tears in their eyes, obviously they were eliminated. Only one was holding a jade card, calm and composed, neither happy nor sad.

Hua Wu looked carefully and found it was an acquaintance - Meng Lingxi, the daughter of Meng Zhu, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

She is the talented lady who is as gentle as a chrysanthemum!

This result was also within Hua Wu's expectations.

In order to share the favor of the heroine, the Queen Mother took this opportunity to recruit beauties of all styles into the Emperor's harem. How could the Queen Mother let go of Meng Lingxi, who is known for her talent? !

It's a typical case of giving it a try before you get any results.

As for the three who failed to be selected, why are they all crying? Do they really want to enter the emperor's harem?

Gee...

Is it so easy to get into the harem?!

Compared to the harem, she would rather go back to her entertainment industry.

If you don’t succeed in the entertainment industry, at best you will lose money; however, if you don’t succeed in the harem, it may cost you your life!

【I know this! 】

Hong Yaer in my mind couldn't wait to come to Hua Wu to share the new gossip she had just obtained. The gossip provider was said to be the most beautiful Yao Huang peony in front of the hall.

[It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty was a prince on horseback, unrivaled in both civil and military affairs. Not only did he end the century-long chaos of the previous dynasty and unify the country, he was also extremely handsome, attracting the attention of women all over the world.]

[When he was fighting for the throne with other nobles, many people were willing to marry their daughters to show their submission. All the counselors thought this method was feasible, but the founding emperor Shenwu already had a lover and did not want her to be wronged, so he rejected everyone and beat all those who refused to obey. ]

[However, four women were so heartless to Emperor Shenwu that they turned their love into hatred. They used the secret method of Nanyue to sacrifice themselves and cursed Emperor Shenwu and the Great Yan Dynasty, making Emperor Shenwu and his descendants as infatuated as Emperor Shenwu but destined to lose their love forever like Emperor Shenwu! ]

……

[Which of these ladies doesn't hope that they are the emperor's destined lover?! That's why they are so sad after being rejected! ]

These daughters of officials will always get married. No matter who they marry, they can't escape the fate of having three wives and four concubines in the future. Who doesn't want to be the only love of their lover? !

What's more, that person is the young, promising, and handsome emperor of today? !

As soon as Hong Yaer mentioned this, Hua Wu immediately remembered that there was indeed such a setting in the book.

The emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty were all hexagonal warriors, but they were romantic lovers from generation to generation but could not have a happy ending. Some of them would give up their kingdom for a beautiful woman, or they would give up their lives for a beautiful woman.

As a result, the Dayan Dynasty would be in turmoil almost every fifty years.

That's it!

This way, I can understand it.

Hua Wu was thinking in her mind, but she did not delay her steps. After a while, she entered the hall. The four of them stood in a normal position and knelt in unison to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress and the Imperial Consort.

Yes!

The emperor didn't come, but Imperial Concubine Feng Chaoyun did!

Originally, the selection of concubines had nothing to do with being a royal concubine. Even if you were a royal concubine, you were still just a concubine in front of the queen. A concubine would not be allowed to attend such a major palace selection.

But didn’t the emperor come?

The Imperial Noble Concubine, the Empress and the Empress Dowager are from the same family and have a close relationship. The Imperial Noble Concubine insisted on coming, and since the Emperor was not there anyway, she just had to let the Empress Dowager and the Empress agree.

But Hua Wu felt uncomfortable.

It's nothing, it's just because Imperial Concubine Feng Chaoyun...she is a psychopath!!!

She was madly in love with the emperor, but could not let go of her pride and arrogance. When the emperor came, she spoke coldly to him. The emperor was fed up with her, so she hated all the beautiful women in the harem.

Arrogant, crazy and vicious!

If she targets you, you will be skinned alive if you don't die!

In the original book, this imperial concubine never came to see the palace selection, because in the book the emperor did come, and the emperor would definitely not let her appear at the palace selection.

All these changes are due to Yao Shuyi.

Could it be that the Imperial Concubine's appearance at the palace selection was also Yao Shuyi's doing? !

Amazing!

Yao Shuyi...is worthy of being the one who can fight with the charming heroine to the end.

With this strategy of killing three birds with one stone, Hua Wu would definitely know why Yao Shuyi was coming for her.

She is determined not to enter the harem!

Sure enough, this is Yao Shuyi's style!

Not only did he achieve his goal, but his hands were clean too!

Hua Wu's emotions were turbulent, but she remained calm and composed. She followed Liu Yuqi and the others in bending, kneeling, bowing, and standing up...

"Raise your head and let me see!"

The deep and majestic voice of the Queen Mother came from above.

The four people standing below did not dare to be negligent. They quickly raised their heads and lowered their eyes slightly so that the person above them could see them, but they themselves could not see the person above them.

"They are all beauties indeed!"

"Queen, look..."

"The Queen Mother's vision is naturally excellent."

A gentle and soothing voice sounded, the tone was respectful and submissive.

Obviously, this is the Queen Mother mentioned by the Queen Mother just now.

At this moment, Hua Wu clearly felt a malicious gaze falling on her, cold, slippery, and resentful, as if wanting to skin her alive.

"This is the daughter of Marquis Jing'an's wife, right?"

"You have a nice face!"

"It's a pity that he is so vicious."

"At a young age, he murdered his own sister out of jealousy and pushed her into the lake, nearly drowning her. Fortunately, she was rescued but she became ill and has been bedridden ever since... He is indeed raised by a merchant family..."

"Aunt, how can such a person enter the palace?"

"I think she should be driven out of the palace and locked up in a temple for life, so that Buddhism can cleanse her vicious heart!"

The sticky and sweet voice revealed an unspeakable viciousness.
