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

Hua Wu stayed in the Yangxin Palace for most of the day, and finally, she led the emperor back to the Yiku Palace. This matter was known to everyone in the palace the next day.

There were many broken porcelains in the six palaces, but even more people ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Lin didn't want to bother with it, so he simply let Qin Zhong stop him, saying that he was busy with government affairs and would not see anyone after the palace election from today.

I don’t know how many beautiful ladies who were serving soup and water were upset by this.

All the concubines in the harem had their eyes fixed on Yikun Palace. They all said that the emperor doted on Ling Zhaorong, and if the emperor saw Ling Zhaorong again in the Yangxin Palace, they would make a fuss.

Unfortunately, Hua Wu didn't give them that chance at all.

The weather in the capital city in April is extremely hot. If it wasn't for Hongyaer to absorb the dragon's energy, she would not have run to the Yangxin Palace in the scorching sun.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was indeed the place where emperors of all dynasties handled their daily government affairs. The dragon energy there was so dense that it seemed substantial. The dragon energy that Hong Yaer absorbed was only one ten-thousandth of it, just like a pancake as big as a washbasin being gnawed away by an ant. Even that little bit of the residue was enough to make Hong Yaer's belly round.

Hongyaer felt so bloated and uncomfortable that she had no choice but to go into seclusion to practice again.

Hong Yaer had temporarily absorbed enough dragon energy, and Hua Wu naturally would not force herself to run to the Yangxin Palace under the scorching sun. Xiao Lin's imperial decree was exactly what she wanted.

On the contrary, Jinzhan and Yuping were quite angry.

"These people just can't stand seeing their master doing well!"

"They learn whatever their master does!"

"You are imitating others like me! Don't you have any shame?"

But no matter how angry they were, they could not change the imperial edict and could only hope in their hearts that the day of the palace examination would come sooner.

However, Jinzhan never expected that after finally waiting for the day of the palace examination, she heard a name that she hated so much - Hua Jibai!

Hua Jibai passed the imperial examination and ranked fourth!

This ranking is already very high!

At least, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion has never achieved such good results in history.

With Hua Jibai's performance, he can strive for the top grade.

If Hua Jibai passed the palace examination, he could become an official.

Even though Jinzhan had little knowledge, she knew that as long as one passed the palace examination, there was little chance of failing.

This made Jinzhan feel extremely angry.

Jinzhan did not forget that he wanted to strangle his own sister to death when he was in the Plum Garden, but when he failed, he poisoned his sister in an attempt to cut off her offspring.

Jinzhan remembered clearly all the harsh treatment, suppression and persecution he inflicted on his master.

How could such a lustful, beastly, and inhuman person be worthy of standing in the hall and receiving the joy of being selected? !

The announcement of the list of successful candidates was held in front of the Jixian Hall.

Once every three years.

This is also a big event in the palace.

At such times, there would always be some young palace maids who were in their prime and in love who would secretly watch from afar to see whether the No. 1 scholar was elegant or the No. 3 scholar was handsome.

Of course, Jinzhan was not here to join in the fun because she was tempted by love. She was just concerned about when the palace selection would be over and when her master could meet the emperor. Therefore, she came to inquire about the news.

But she didn't expect that before she could squeeze in, she heard the name of the person she hated so much.

"Who?! Is it really Hana Jibai?!"

Jinzhan grabbed the palace maid who was blocking her and asked anxiously.

"Hey! Who are you?!" The maid who was talking excitedly was grabbed by Jinzhan. She turned back unhappily. But when she saw it was Jinzhan, she was delighted and said in a weird tone: "Hey! Isn't this Jinzhan, the head maid of Yikun Palace?!"

"What?! You want to get married too?!"

"Why are you running all the way here to see the number one scholar?!"

The palace maid was wearing a purple satin skirt that only first-class palace maids could wear. She had two buns on her head, each with a jade velvet flower, and looked very energetic.

Jinzhan recognized her at the first sight. This was Cui Lan, the chief maid of Concubine Du in Qixiang Palace.

Concubine Du Qingshang was born into a family of imperial censors and entered the palace at the same time as her master.

Jinzhan didn't remember that her Yikun Palace had ever offended the Qixiang Palace. However, the fact that her master was favored might be the original sin. As long as her master continued to be favored, they would always dislike the people in her Yikun Palace.

Jinzhan didn't take Cuilan's sarcasm to heart. She was more concerned about - "What?! You said Hua Jibai is the top scholar?!"

Jinzhan's face turned pale with anxiety, and her voice became uncontrollably higher.

"not yet!"

"But the top scholar must be a playboy."

"The Playboy is known as 'Jade Man' and is very talented."

"Even my master praised his knowledge and said he had the potential to be the top scholar."

"If this number one scholar isn't him?! Who else could it be?!"

Cui Lan said proudly.

Ok!

Not yet!

Jinzhan let out a long sigh, then glared at Cuilan angrily, "So what if she's good-looking and talented?! The emperor will never choose someone with such a low character as the top scholar!"

Cui Lan, the imperial examination ceremony hasn't even started yet, why is she talking nonsense?!

Almost scared her to death!

"How can you talk like that? How can you slander Playboy for no reason?!"

"That playboy is still your old master!"

"Oh...that's right!"

"You and your young lady are both cruel people!"

"When the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion was stripped of its title, if your young lady had been able to plead for the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, the title of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion would not have been lost..."

"Tsk tsk..."

"You, Ling Zhaorong, are so heartless and heartless!"

Cui Lan shook her head and said, her tone full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, the little palace maid beside her looked at Jinzhan with a strange look in her eyes, as if she agreed with Cui Lan's words.

"presumptuous!"

"A fourth-rank Zhaorong, is that something a mere palace maid like you can say?!"

"When I report this to my master, I will make sure that my Zhaorong punishes your master for not ruling strictly enough!"

After spending a long time with Hua Wu, Jinzhan didn't learn anything else, but she did learn how to use the power of others to bully others.

Not to mention, Jinzhan's display of power really scared a lot of people.

After all, everyone in the palace knew that Ling Zhaorong was favored, and the emperor was extremely partial to her. Anyone who offended Ling Zhaorong would end up miserably, and even several Zhaorongs and noble ladies fell.

Cui Lan realized that she had brought disaster upon her master and wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't let go of her pride. Her face flushed red, but she could only protest in a low voice: "Am I wrong?! They are all my parents, brothers and sisters, and my closest relatives. To just watch the Hua family being stripped of their titles, what else can you say but cruel?!"

"Parents?! Brothers and sisters?! Blood relatives?!"

"One wanted to strangle his own sister to death, and the other gave his own daughter a sterilizing soup. My master repeatedly gave in and didn't say a word. My master is already kind."

"To those who say it's no big deal, I wish your daughter's father is Hua Lian, her mother is Zheng Ru, her brother is Hua Jibai, her younger brother is Hua Tingjian... Oh! That's right! I almost forgot! There is also a white lotus adopted sister Hua Linlang who has taken over the magpie's nest and plagiarized someone else's identity, but is infinitely doted on by your whole family!"

hiss~

What a vicious curse!

Don’t suffer from other people’s suffering, and don’t advise others to do good!

If this happened to Hua Zhaorong, they would all think that Hua Zhaorong was not generous. However, if this happened to their own daughter...

Oh shit!

The fist is hard!
