Chapter 174 - Resumption

Emperor Ming took the portrait and nodded in satisfaction. Consort Shu was indeed reliable, all these women had beautiful looks and graceful bodies, they were all rare beauties.

"Consort Shu, these women are all not bad. We have not misjudged you."

Imperial Consort Leng saw Emperor Ming praising him and felt angry, but she could not fall out with him. She could only endure and not lose her temper.

"As long as the Emperor likes it." Consort Shu laughed coquettishly.

The Consort Shu had always been a beautiful woman, the Emperor doted on her. Seeing her dressed up so enchantingly, she became even more fond of him. She abandoned Imperial Consort Leng in front of everyone and became intimate with him.

Concubine Qin was also envious. No matter how much the emperor doted on her, his love for her was limited and couldn't be compared to Consort Shu's in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, look at this, it's so similar to Imperial Concubine's appearance." Consort Shu took out a painting and showed it to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming looked at it seriously, and found that the person on the portrait looked similar to Imperial Consort Leng, he could not help but take a closer look.

Imperial Consort Leng also took a few glances and saw that the woman in the portrait was indeed twenty-eight years old, and her eyes really looked like her. She could not help but hate Consort Shu for meddling in her affairs.

"Your majesty, chenqie feels a bit dizzy and wants to return to the palace to rest." The Imperial Consort Leng asked weakly as she half nestled into the Emperor Ming's embrace.

In his previous life, this woman had always loved to use this kind of method. In this life, this man still pitied such a hypocritical girl.

Qin Luofei's heart was faintly cold. She should be despairing towards this man.

The Consort Shu only gave a shallow glance at the Imperial Consort Leng before continuing, "Your Majesty, chenqie has already instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select a suitable woman for the palace selection. In just a few days, I presume that the Emperor will be able to personally choose a talent so that the harem can be filled."

Imperial Consort Leng was even more unhappy. These girls were already enough to give her a headache, but to think that they would actually choose girls from other places to enter the palace.

The other concubine s did not feel good about this, but they knew that there were very few concubine s in the palace, so they had no choice but to force a smile.

"Your majesty." Although the Imperial Consort Leng was not as well-loved as it was in the past, she was still the flesh of the Emperor Ming's heart.

Emperor Ming hugged Imperial Consort Leng and yawned. He said to Consort Shu, "Love Consort, you decide! "I'm also tired, so I'll head back to the palace first."

After saying this, Emperor Ming and Imperial Consort Leng returned to the palace.

Consort Shu had always had a broad heart, so she didn't really care. I'm just curious, this Imperial Consort Leng looks like she's got to be pampered a few dozen times. It's not like the palace can stay without empress forever, it's just going to have to be abandoned forever, it's just going to depend on what kind of master the new empress is.

Consort Shu selected a few more suitable ones for the other concubine s to see before deciding on their next course of action.

Most of the women chosen were from official families, and were especially advantageous to the Emperor.

Qin Luofei didn't think that the Consort Shu was so considerate towards the Emperor, to the point where she misjudged her.

Consort Shu had looked at the drawing for a long time and was also tired. Seeing that Qin Luofei and Luo Ziyan's bodies had always been unwell, she couldn't be too tired, so she said: "Little sisters, let's end it here for today! You guys should go back and rest as well! "

"Empress Dowager of the Consort Shu, then your consorts will take their leave."

Seeing that the Consort Shu was busy, Qin Luofei did not disturb him any longer and left the palace with Luo Ziyan, returning to their own courtyards.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs had also stepped up their supervision of the elites. The fall of the emperor's son was not only a matter of the emperor's family matters, but also a matter of the imperial government.

The people of Ministry of Internal Affairs had specially sent dozens of groups of officials to the provinces to select the right women.

These women that had been chosen from all over the world were gathered together once more, carrying out the first talent show of the capital.

In the courtyard, all sorts of flirtatious women gathered together.

Their skin color was like snow, their bodies were graceful, and they were extremely beautiful. The extravagance of the palace had greatly broadened their horizons. Every single one of them were looking forward to being selected, so they could enjoy the glory of being rich.

Many women s left home for the first time and were unaccustomed to this.

At the beginning, they were still reserved here, unwilling to speak too much. As time passed, some of them that were used to being familiar with each other couldn't help but whisper to each other.

These women were all chosen from the children of officials from different places, they were rich and powerful.

women was secretly comparing her and the other women's clothing and accessories. Some of them were not well-received so they were naturally looked down upon by others.

Since ancient times, it was not surprising.

"The hairpin on my head was created by my father spending five thousand taels of silver. I'm afraid there won't be another hairpin like this in this world with such exquisite workmanship." A beautiful girl wearing a lotus root colored brocade spoke to the girl in red beside her.

She caressed the bracelet on her arm and said, "The bracelet that I am wearing is made from natural red agate. It is said that this kind of red agate is hard to find in the world, and it doesn't seem to be any worse than my elder sister's. Elder sister, what are you talking about? "

The woman in the silk dress looked at the agate on the woman in red's wrist. It was a high-grade Agate.

Although gold was also expensive, it was always lacking compared to those precious jades. His face couldn't help but turn ugly. He was just the daughter of the censor. What's so special about her? She was even showing off to him.

women was flaunting his family's background so that he could lower others.

Amongst all the girls, there was only one girl standing there silently. She would occasionally purse her lips, appearing slightly nervous.

Her sleeves and skirt were embroidered with gold threads to make these fine butterfly lines. The patterns were complicated and beautiful, her cloud-like hair was picked up with chrysanthemum-colored enamel step shake, and between her eyebrows was a beautiful crescent moon that emitted a gentle light. This woman was actually the one who had sacrificed herself to save Emperor Ming, Lin Yuming.

There was another image in her mind, and she still remembered the last time she had seen him. She shouted for Emperor Ming to leave, and Emperor Ming was dragged away by the black clothed man.

He didn't expect that after Emperor Ming left, a man would rush into the fire and rescue her. In the end, they even adopted her as their own daughter.

"Hey, I'm talking about you. Which officials' family are you from?" A lady at the side said to Lin Yuyue with a disdainful tone.

Lin Yuyue raised her head and glanced at the girl. She seemed to remember that the girl had a good family background.

Lin Yuyue did not want to cause trouble, so at the moment, she was able to endure her words, and only smiled at the woman, and ignored her. After arriving at the palace, she did not beg the Emperor Ming to still remember her, but to be able to see him for a single glance was enough.

However, what made her a little worried was the scar on her leg. It was because she saved Emperor Ming all those years ago, but she did not know if it would work.

At this time, a few old mama in charge and their leader mama walked over, causing the women's discussion to come to an abrupt halt.

"All of you, stand in a row." cried one of the leading eunuchs in a effeminate tone.

women consciously stood in a few rows, waiting for the old eunuch's selection.

The Old Eunuch and the two old nanny took a ruler and observed the women's body back and forth before they started to choose one by one.

This could also be considered the first stage of choosing a women, as one would see how light the body was and how perfect the body's proportions were.

women did not even dare to breathe loudly. Her family had sacrificed a lot for them, if they lost, they would be laughed at, and even their mother would be humiliated.

All of the women s in front of her looked good in Lin Yuyue's eyes, but he never expected that they would all be failed, which was beyond her expectations. She nervously pinched the kernels in her hands. Her back gradually became cold and she started to sweat.

A few more women had been washed out, but a few had been selected as well.

Some of them were happy, while others were sobbing softly.

Lin Yuyue was getting more and more nervous, it was finally her turn.

The old eunuch looked at Lin Yuyue with his mouse like eyes for a long time before speaking indifferently, "Come out, go and wait over there."

Lin Yuyue's eyes lit up, she had passed, she had really passed.

She could not help but heave a sigh of relief, but she did not expect the eunuch to say another sentence.

"What's with that mole on your face?"

Lin Yuyue was startled, she did not have a mole on her face, was this old eunuch wrong?

"I don't have a mole on my face." When Lin Yuyue said this, the women around him started laughing at him.

"Look at this mole of yours, it won't do. The emperor doesn't like ugly women." The old eunuch's nanny had a sharp and unkind expression as she casually handed her a bronze mirror.

Lin Yuyue looked at her reflection in the copper mirror, and there was actually a black dot on her face.

She recalled that just now, someone had collided with her. Presumably, she was the one who painted it while she wasn't paying attention. Lin Yuyue hurriedly wiped away the black spots on his face.

"Eunuch, this little girl's face was just dirty, it's not a mole." Lin Yuyue put on a pitiful look, this move was indeed useful in front of the old eunuch.

"Come out. From the looks of it, your posture is pretty good." The old eunuch said benevolently.

Lin Yuyue smiled, she was one step closer to Emperor Ming. She turned her head to glance at the girl who had been fiddling with her face.

The lady only found Lin Yuyue unpleasing to the eye, so she intentionally teased her.

Seeing that she wasn't particularly wealthy, and knowing that she wasn't from a powerful family, he naturally wasn't afraid of her knowing.

Lin Yuyue thought: This girl really has a poisonous heart. She still wants to do something about the talent show, I have no enmity with her.

However, for the evil, he would reap what he sowed. was overjoyed that the girl was not chosen.

Lin Yuyue followed the old eunuch to the next stage, and when she passed by the woman, she spoke to her in a soft and complacent manner.

"Don't you like to scheme? Unfortunately, you will never get another chance. " Lin Yuyue coldly said with a disdainful tone.

"You … "You're lucky, man." The woman gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with jealousy.

Lin Yuyue ignored her and followed the old eunuch to the front of a row of houses, and entered one of them.

There were two old wet nurses in the room, checking to see if the women had hidden injuries, was smelly fox, and did not have any scars.

This stage was even stricter than the previous stage. Many women had this kind of illness that was mercilessly eliminated.

Lin Yuyue was extremely worried for this hurdle, as she refused to take off her clothes.

One of the old granny was responsible for whether there were any scars on women's body, but what about the scars on her legs? How could she hide it? Otherwise … She would definitely lose. What should she do?

"women, please take off your clothes." The older Senior Servant Rong pointed at Lin Yuyue and said.

Helpless, Lin Yuyue slowly took off her clothes one by one. The old wet nurse stepped forward and observed carefully, nodding in satisfaction towards her upper body.

"And undergarments." After the old wet nurse said this, she was about to go and explain her dress train.

Lin Yuyue panicked, she had already looked for many famous doctors to treat the scar, but there was still a scar, she was afraid that she would fail in this stage.

Just as Lin Yuyue was feeling extremely helpless as she exposed one leg, a senior servant walked in hastily from outside.

"Qian mama, hurry up and check the women, don't make them wait too long, they are two impatient masters, we cannot afford to let them go."
