The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

At this time, the palace maids could no longer bear it and came over to urge them.

He stepped forward cautiously and said, "Young Marquis Xiao, it's almost time."

"If we delay your arrival at the palace, we servants will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Jamel Xiao clenched his hands into fists, trembling slightly.

No matter how unwilling, reluctant, or painful he was, he had no choice but to make way for it at this moment.

He watched the carriage slowly drive into the palace.

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. From then on, Xiao Lang is just a passerby.

But she was supposed to be his wife...

Just a little bit.

Almost again...

Xiao Jingheng's heart seemed to be hollowed out and bloody.

Haha, God really likes to play tricks on him.

Just when he thought happiness was within his grasp and his life was perfect, he was suddenly dragged into the abyss.

At the top of the Forbidden City, the Shenwu Gate stands proudly, magnificent and solemn under the golden glow of the sun.

After entering the palace, the contestants had already arrived one after another at the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial Palace and were waiting.

Even though Jiang Wantang had long known that there were nearly 6,000 beauties participating in the selection, when she really stood there and looked at the huge crowd in front of her, she still couldn't help but hold her breath.

In particular, these are all young girls dressed up in gorgeous clothes.

The beauties are really beautiful, each with their own unique charm, as if you are surrounded by the most colorful flowers in spring.

Under the order of the eunuch in charge, rows of palace maids and eunuchs came out one after another, each holding a list of beauties, and began to check and count the number of people one by one.

Half an hour later, the headcount was completed and the preliminary selection process officially began.

Afterwards, the eunuch in charge invited Wang Fuhai, the chief eunuch beside Ji Wuyuan, to come over.

Wang Fuhai looked at the ladies and nodded, then said in a shrill voice, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

"His Majesty said, don't accept those that are too high or too short!"

"We don't want those who are too fat, too thin, or have bad body proportions!"

"Don't have small eyes!"

"No dark skin!"

"..."

After a round of screening, there were nearly 6,000 beauties, but only less than 3,000 were left.

However, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and the second round of screening had not yet begun, several eunuchs came out dragging several bloody female corpses.

The concubines had never seen such a bloody scene before. They screamed in fear and some even fainted on the spot.

Wang Fu frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Are you so reckless?"

"Sir, His Majesty has just ordered his execution." A eunuch stepped forward to report.

Wang Fuhai waved his hand in disdain: "Hurry up, drag him away!"

"Drag away those who are fainted and frightened."

Upon hearing this, some of the frightened ladies or those who did not want to enter the palace pretended to faint.

"How much is left now?" Wang Fuhai asked again.

The eunuch in charge said, "More than 2,000 people."

Wang Fuhai sat upright in his chair, not even raising his eyelids: "Then let's start the second round."

The second round of selection is based on appearance, facial features, figure and demeanor.

There are two groups in total, one with good family background and the other with average family background.

Each of the selected ladies would be looked at by the palace maids in turn.

Jiang Wantang arrived late and stood at the back, watching as the number of beauties around him dwindled.

When it was her turn, the palace maids' eyes lit up and they surrounded her and looked at her several times.

Although Jiang Wantang has not appeared at major banquets in the capital for many years, her dazzling beauty makes her the most eye-catching among the many beautiful women.

Naturally, everyone noticed her at a glance.

She was wearing a pink floor-length dress inlaid with pearls. Her black hair was tied into a high bun, and on both sides of the bun were a pair of long pearl hairpins, which sparkled in the sunlight.

The beautiful and charming girl, every frown and smile of hers is the spring of the world.

She clearly has a face as charming as a fairy, but her whole body exudes a cool and ethereal temperament. The extreme charm and etherealness appear in her without any disobedience or conflict.

One can't help but sigh that there really is such a stunningly beautiful woman in the world.

The slender waist outlines a perfect and attractive figure. It is not difficult to imagine how graceful she must be under this pomegranate skirt.

With such an outstanding face and such a seductive figure, not only would men be drooling over her, but even women would be unable to take their eyes off her.

Soon, Wang Fuhai also walked towards Jiang Wantang and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is..."

Jiang Wantang smiled faintly: "Prime Minister Jiang's daughter, Jiang Wantang, sixteen years old."

Wang Fuhai looked at her beautiful face, her gentle and polite words, and nodded in appreciation: "Not bad, not bad!"

"As expected of the Prime Minister's daughter!"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful ladies around her looked at her with even more envy and jealousy that they could hardly conceal.

It’s not just that she has such outstanding looks, I didn’t expect that her family background is also first-class.

After the second round of rigorous screening, only more than a thousand people remained.

Next comes the third round, which is also the most important one: physical examination.

Women who can enter the harem must have a clean family background and a clean body.

The beauties lined up one by one and were led by palace maids into the secret rooms in the harem that were specially used for physical examinations. There were several old maids from the palace waiting in each room.

This physical examination not only checks for innocence, but also requires that there are no scars on the body.

But in fact, some inconspicuous minor scars are not a big deal and can be covered with some money.

By the time the physical examination was over, it was already dark.

After layers of screening, only six hundred beauties were left.

Among these six hundred beauties, without exception, they were either ladies from famous families or outstanding beauties.

All the concubines were arranged to live in Chuxiu Palace, waiting to be selected by Emperor Ji Wuyuan in the palace tomorrow.

There are many rooms in Chuxiu Palace, including one room for ten people, one room for six people, one room for four people and one room for two people. The best one is the one for two people.

They said that the arrangements would be made by the eunuch in charge, but you had to pay money, otherwise you could only stay in the worst room with ten people in it.

Jiang Wantang directly stuffed two large gold bars into the steward eunuch's pocket and asked him to arrange a room for two.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw a sturdy woman smashing a table with her bare hands.

She raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in her eyes. She stood quietly at the door, looking at the woman in front of her.

The latter turned around and saw a delicate and beautiful woman standing at the door. He smiled awkwardly and hid his hands behind his back unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, sister. I didn't mean it."

"I wanted to practice, but I didn't expect the things in this palace to be so fragile."

Jiang Wantang smiled faintly: "It's okay, whatever you want."

After saying that, he walked in.

Although the woman had a rather sturdy figure, her facial features were pretty, and she looked at Jiang Wantang with her eyes wide open.

She smiled and said, "I am General Lin's eldest daughter, Lin Ruoyun, whose daughter are you?"

"You are so beautiful, why have I never seen you in Beijing?"

"Or are you from out of town?"

Jiang Wantang smiled and thought that this Miss Lin was quite interesting.

She said slowly, "Prime Minister Jiang's second daughter, Jiang Wantang."

When Lin Ruoyun heard this, her eyes widened with surprise, "So it's you!"

"No wonder……"
