After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on
Chapter 125 Chosen as Concubine
The maids in charge of the selection were all arrogant, sarcastic and merciless, and they eliminated the unqualified concubines one by one without mercy.
"Next!" a Mammy screamed.
Xie Mishuang took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Her appearance now is not stunning, but her temperament is cool and her manners are elegant, which makes people's eyes light up.
The nanny looked her up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "You have a nice figure, next!"
The third and most critical stage is to select the innocent.
Now she is borrowing Chi Chunchun's name and identity. If she is found to be not innocent, it will probably have a great impact on her.
Xie Mishuang was well prepared. As a doctor, she naturally had ways to hide her from others.
The maids checked the virginity of the concubines one by one.
When it was Xie Mishuang's turn, she stretched out her hand calmly.
Mammy inserted the silver needle into her fingertip, and after a moment, the silver needle was still as white as snow.
The nanny nodded with satisfaction: "Clean, qualified! Next!"
After rounds of screening, the number of beauties became smaller and smaller.
With her extraordinary temperament and calm response, Xie Mishuang made it through all the hurdles and finally stood in the team for the final round of selection.
The ten beauties were all chosen from among hundreds, and each had her own unique charm.
They were dressed in uniform light pink palace dresses and stood nervously in the square outside the Golden Throne Hall, waiting for the final decision of their fate.
Xie Mishuang lowered his eyes to hide the complex emotions in his eyes.
It's been three years, he should be forgetting her soon, right?
To be on the safe side, she deliberately painted a mole at the corner of her eye and changed her makeup slightly to make herself look more ordinary.
She had no intention of entering the palace to become a concubine. After learning that the unsuccessful concubines could stay in the capital for half a year, she regarded the selection as an opportunity to stay in the capital.
Half a year is enough for her to complete her revenge plan.
As the sun rose higher, the temperature in the square also rose.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of the concubines, but no one dared to wipe them away. They could only endure the discomfort and maintain their dignified demeanor.
Xie Mishuang secretly looked at the ladies around her. Some of them were so nervous that their faces turned pale, some pretended to be calm, and some had ambitious looks on their faces.
A young lady in a yellow palace dress stealthily moved to Xie Mishuang's side and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you nervous?"
Xie Mishuang shook his head slightly: "Not bad."
"I'm so nervous that my palms are sweating," the yellow-shirted beauty bit her lip and twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand nervously. "I heard that the emperor has a violent temper and is moody. What if..."
She didn't continue, but the meaning was clear.
Xie Mishuang smiled faintly: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it."
The beautiful lady in the yellow goose shirt looked at her enviously: "What a generous lady."
Time passed minute by minute, but there was still no one on the dragon throne.
The sun was scorching brightly in the sky, making everyone dizzy and dazed, but they still did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the scorching sunlight burned the earth.
In the square outside the Golden Throne Hall, the air seemed to be frozen, and the heat was suffocating.
Beads of sweat rolled down the housekeeper's forehead, soaking the hair at her temples.
She paced anxiously, looking up at the palace gate from time to time, muttering to herself, "What time is it now? Why hasn't His Majesty arrived yet?"
She couldn't help but walk over to the chief steward and asked in a low voice, "Chief Steward Li, look at this... Is His Majesty..."
Steward Li glanced at her sideways, his fat face filled with helplessness. "Mammy, you ask me, but who should I ask? His Majesty has no intention of choosing a concubine. In my opinion, His Majesty probably won't come today."
He paused and added, "But the rules cannot be broken. Let these ladies wait and go back when the sun sets."
"This..." The housekeeper wiped the sweat from her forehead and frowned, "These... ten beautiful girls standing under the scorching sun, won't their skin be sunburned?" She felt hot even standing under the eaves, let alone those delicate girls.
Steward Li waved his hand disapprovingly: "It's good to get some sun. It will save them from being so delicate and unable to serve His Majesty in the palace."
Just as the housekeeper had expected, a quarter of an hour later, a young lady in light green palace dress let out a cry, her body went limp, and she fell straight down.
"Ah!" The surrounding beauties screamed and took a few steps back, fearing that they would be the next to fall.
Immediately afterwards, several more concubines could not hold on and fell to the ground one after another.
Fine beads of sweat also seeped out of Xie Mishuang's forehead, and her vision became darker, but she clenched her teeth and forced herself to stay awake.
Despite this, she felt dizzy, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.
But she took a deep breath and managed to steady herself.
The beautiful lady in the goose yellow shirt turned pale and said with trembling lips, "I... I can't do it anymore..." After that, she fell to the ground.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.
Manager Li narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a figure in a bright yellow dragon robe slowly walking towards him.
He straightened up quickly and shouted in a shrill voice: "The Emperor has arrived——"
The shrill voice of Manager Li cut through the stagnant air and woke up the drowsy concubines.
The remaining concubines were like frightened birds. They quickly straightened their shaky bodies, forced themselves to be strong, and dared not lose their composure in front of the palace.
They all tried hard to maintain a dignified posture, but could not hide the paleness and weakness that remained on their faces.
Only Xie Mishuang had a complicated look in his eyes after hearing this message.
She looked up at the bright yellow figure walking slowly towards her. There was no panic in her eyes, but rather a subtle scrutiny.
After not seeing each other for three years, Ouyang Jing had lost a lot of weight, and his angular face was filled with a frightening coldness.
He exuded a cold aura that made people afraid to approach him.
The other concubines just took a look and lowered their heads in panic, fearing that they would anger the emperor.
Only Xie Mishuang looked at him firmly, as if she wanted to see through the man in front of her.
Ouyang Jing's gaze swept across everyone, and when it reached Xie Mishuang, he paused slightly.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover the part below Xie Mishuang's eyes, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
"Such familiar eyes..." He muttered to himself, and a blurry face emerged in his mind, gradually overlapping with the woman in front of him.
"Do you know any medical skills?" Ouyang Jing's voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible tremor.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Mishuang, trying to guess the meaning behind the emperor's sudden question.
