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

Kunning Palace.

"What? Concubine Rong brought Concubine Liu and Concubine Meng to visit Concubine Ling and was turned away?"

Queen Feng Yuanheng was just finishing up her palace affairs and had just had a sip of tea when someone reported what had happened in front of the Yikun Palace that afternoon. Feng Yuanheng couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing it.

"This Concubine Ling is really..." The senior palace maid Huaping who was serving on the side didn't know what to say to her master for a moment.

She had never seen such a shameless master.

Things like bumping into people to win favor are common in the harem.

Even though most of the masters knew that they were here to win favor, they still accepted it for the sake of face.

This person, on the other hand, didn't even let anyone into the palace. She was so straightforward and didn't even care about the slightest bit of face. Now everyone in the palace will laugh at her for being petty and not presentable.

"Okay! Let's not talk about her anymore... Bring me this month's account books of each palace's salary so I can take a look..." Feng Yuanheng smiled and ignored her and continued to deal with palace affairs.

Ling Jieyu had been laughed at many times, so this time was no big deal.

Face is something that is sometimes very important, but sometimes... it is not that important.

Being a rolling pin, so what?!

As long as the emperor likes it, that’s enough!

……

The fact that Concubine Rong, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Meng were barred from entering the Yikun Palace was known to everyone in the palace within two or three days.

Some people laughed at Ling Jieyu for being shameless and petty, and said that she was worthy of being raised by a merchant.

But Hua Wu claimed to others that she was not in good health and seldom went out. She also did not allow anyone to step into the Yikun Palace. They wanted to laugh at Hua Wu in person but they could not.

They could only turn around and laugh at Concubine Liu and Concubine Meng, laughing at them for claiming to be ladies of noble families, but actually following the example of those lowly people who were not worthy of being on stage and running to the Yiku Palace to make trouble, which really brought disgrace to them as ladies of noble families.

Concubine Liu was so angry that she started a big quarrel with someone outside. After returning to the palace, she smashed several vases. In the past few days, she even stopped visiting her favorite Imperial Garden.

However, Meng Lingxi has not come out since he was rejected by Yikun Palace, and he also claimed to be sick like Hua Wu.

Everyone in the palace laughed at Concubine Meng for not having Concubine Ling's fate, but having Concubine Ling's disease!

At this time, in Yonglan Palace, the head maid Lan Fang was holding a white jade phoenix-necked pipa in her hands, looking at her master in the mirror who was putting on pearl flower ornaments with a look of pity, "Master, do you really want to do this?"

Her master is the daughter of the high and mighty governor. When she was in Fujian and Zhejiang, she was the head of all the noble ladies. Wherever she went, she was like a star. But she didn't expect that after entering the palace for the selection, she found that there were so many beauties in the palace, and there were also many people with prominent family backgrounds.

Not to mention the concubine who was once the most favored in the harem and came from the Anguogong Mansion, the imperial concubine who came from the empress dowager's family, and the concubine who came from the prime minister's mansion... Even in the same year of the show girls, there were the daughter of the admiral of the Zhejiang Navy, the daughter of Liu Tongxun, the daughter of the Minister of War, the daughter of Dou Fan, the daughter of the Guanglu Shaoqing...

These people are no worse than their masters in terms of appearance, talent, or family background.

What's even more outrageous is that his master was suppressed by that merchant girl who had no talent or virtue but a pretty face. The master tried to make her acquaintance with good intentions, but she ignorantly turned him away!

Now the whole palace is filled with voices mocking their master, and the palace maids who are out on business are pointed at and laughed at wherever they go.

"Otherwise...what else can we do?"

"Are you really going to die quietly in this palace?"

"Mr. Rong is right!"

"Since you have entered the palace, how can you not compete for favor?! What are the means to compete for favor?! Do you still think you are a noble lady who is innocent and waiting for the emperor to coax you?!"

If she didn't take the initiative, with Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling above her, who knows when the emperor would notice her? !

Meng Lingxi carefully painted the flowers for herself, looked at the beautiful and graceful face in the mirror, sighed softly, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with sadness, just like a white flower blooming under the moon.

"Have you found out the emperor's route for the next two days?" Meng Lingxi took the white jade phoenix-necked pipa from Lan Fang and gently plucked it a few times with her bare hands. Suddenly, a short piece of music sounded like the sound of a spring, pleasant and melodious, making people unable to stop.

"My lord, I have already found out everything," Lan Fang replied respectfully.

They have no roots in the palace, so it is difficult for them to find out the emperor's whereabouts.

But they have money!

After spending a lot of money, they finally bought the real thing.

She has verified it for a few days and the source confirmed it to be authentic.

"Then let's go!"

Meng Lingxi stood up and walked out of the palace accompanied by Lan Fang.

……

The next day, Concubine Meng attracted the emperor who was taking a walk in Yuhua Pavilion with her pipa skills of playing "Song of the Frontier". The emperor praised Concubine Meng's pipa and stayed overnight in Yonglan Palace. Early this morning, he issued an edict to promote Concubine Meng to the rank of noble lady and rewarded her with coral bonsai, gold and silver jewelry, and silks and satins.

This news immediately caused an uproar in the harem.

No one would have thought that the person who was ridiculed by them a few days ago would be favored by the emperor today.

I don’t know how many people secretly tore their handkerchiefs into pieces out of hatred, and how many people were secretly moved.

First there was Concubine Rong, then Concubine Ling, and then Concubine Meng... Do they have a chance too? !

Pipa and the others didn't dare to embarrass themselves in front of Meng Lingxi, but that doesn't mean they don't have other special skills? !

For a time, the people in the harem were in a state of excitement, as if spring had come and it was extremely lively.

When the news reached Yiku Palace, all the maids in the palace were as sad as if they had lost their parents, with gloomy expressions on their faces, especially Jinzhan, who put one hand on her waist, with anger on her face, as if she was about to quarrel with someone.

Hongyaer said angrily, "It's all my fault."

"If I had asked my friends to keep an eye on the emperor's whereabouts, that noble lady Meng might not have succeeded..."

Hua Wu was stroking a small orange and white kitten in her arms. After stroking the kitten until it was so comfortable that it snored, she said angrily, "That's enough!"

"What's with that expression on your face?!"

"How can anyone in this world control the emperor?!"

Then he said to Hongyaer in his heart, "Don't let your friends in the flowers and plants find out where the emperor is."

"First, it's useless to explore!"

"How can I control who the emperor favors?!"

"Secondly, it would be troublesome if they ran into Pei Xuan's hands."

Jinzhan had been thinking about going out to quarrel with the people in Yonglan Palace, but her ambition was extinguished by her master's few words. She came to Hua Wu hesitantly, "Master, are you not angry?!"

"I'm angry?!"

"Why am I angry?!"

"In this palace, except for the queen, everyone else is a concubine!"

"But even if she is the queen, she has no right to be angry when the emperor sleeps with other women!"

"The Queen isn't angry, so why should I be?!"

Do you really think she is in a relationship with the Emperor?!

cut!

Innocent!

The emperor slept with Concubine Meng, but Hua Wu was not angry at all.

After she entered the palace, she never thought that the emperor would favor her alone. Why would she be angry as a substitute for the emperor's true love? !

Special favorite?!

She never considered it.

"But...but didn't you say in Yiku Palace that you loved the emperor very much? You are not angry at all now...why do I feel something is weird?" Jinzhan was not as smart as Yuping. She just intuitively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words. She could only blink and look at Yuping.

"Master, do you need to lose your temper now?" Yuping's mind raced and he instantly thought of what Jinzhan felt was wrong.

Her master tells the emperor every day that she loves him to death, that the emperor is her only one and that she cannot live without him.

It was so sincere that they all believed it.

Now, the emperor favors a newcomer, but his own master acts as if nothing happened and isn't even jealous?

This……

Master, you have to pretend to the end.

Hua Wu's hand, which was stroking the cat with great pleasure, suddenly stopped and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

She knew something was wrong!

Her hypocritical and infatuated personality is about to collapse!

"Quick! Quick!"

"Bring me some porcelain bottles so I can smash them!"

"Also, go get the doctor and tell him I fainted!"

Hua Wu handed the kitten to Yu Ping's care, stood up, and gave instructions in a hurry.
