Magical Queen Taming the Beast - Chapter 857

When they arrived at Chuxiu Palace, there were already less than one-third of the remaining beautiful girls. In the huge hall, Concubine Xiao was sitting in the middle, looking at Xuanyue with a smile. After omitting their salute, he saluted Concubine Xiao again: “I’m not feeling well, so the queen mother has been waiting for a long time!”

Concubine Xiao nodded, motioned for Xuanyue to get up, and said with a smile, “Most of the beautiful girls have been screened, so take a look at these beautiful girls here!”

Xuanyue looked over, and the beautiful girls who were waiting with their heads bowed, all dressed up like flowers, were young and beautiful.

Xuanyue took off her coat, sat down beside Concubine Xiao, and said, “What the Queen Mother left is naturally good. I’ll look at their background and test their character.”

Although so many people have been screened out by Concubine Xiao, there are still a lot of people left. Xuan Yue said this because she just wanted to give Concubine Xiao a face.

Concubine Xiao nodded and motioned to the maid beside her to hold the roster for Xuanyue to take a look at.

Xuanyue took over the roster and looked at the people densely written on it. She had some plans in her heart: “Most of them have a good background…”

Most of those left behind were the former neutrals and royalists, as well as the daughters of some wealthy businessmen. Although their status was not high, they also had relatives or uncles who were officials.

Jingjing held the clothes for Xuanyue, Cuiyun brought tea to Xuanyue, and when Xuanyue took the teacup and started drinking, Cuiyun suddenly whispered in Concubine Xiao’s ear.

Concubine Xiao’s face was full of surprise, she suddenly grabbed Xuan Yue’s hand and asked, “Empress, are you happy?”

Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Cuiyun.

Cuiyun nodded slightly.

It seems that this is another explanation by Xing An to Cui Yun.

Xuanyue was moved in her heart and nodded to Concubine Xiao: “I just found out, this girl Cuiyun is getting more and more courageous!”

Concubine Xiao said: “This is what the emperor asked Cuiyun to announce to Aijia. How can such a big happy event be considered a talkative.”

Concubine Xiao looked very happy.

Xuanyue could see that Concubine Xiao was really happy for Xuanyue.

The faces of the beautiful girls below were different, and they all congratulated Xuanyue.

Xuanyue’s sharp eyes discovered that the first person who took the lead in salute to congratulate her was a cousin of Cao Haotian, who was considered a famous beauty in the capital.

Seeing the woman’s beautiful appearance, generous manner, and friendly eyes, Xuanyue smiled and said to Concubine Xiao, “The Queen Mother, what do you think of the girls in the Cao family?”

Concubine Xiao glanced at her and nodded quickly: “I also think this girl is good.”

Xuan Yue smiled and said, “Zheng Nan has reached the age of marriage, and there is no one around to take care of him… If someone helps him manage the inner house, his future career will be better!”

Although Concubine Xiao didn’t quite understand why Xuanyue advocated the draft, but she was so smart, she naturally knew that there must be something inside this draft.

Hearing what Xuanyue said, she knew something vaguely in her heart, and she also knew that Xuanyue was interested in finding a good partner for Xiao Zhengnan, so she said, “Then I would like to thank the queen.”

Xuanyue smiled, then remembered that these beautiful girls were still bending over to salute, and hurriedly said, “Get up!”

“Humph!”

A beautiful girl snorted softly, and there was a look of jealousy and disdain in her eyes.

Xuanyue kept calm, silently wrote down the appearance and family background of these people, carefully flipped through the roster in her hand, and removed more than ten beautiful girls one by one.

Then, Xuanyue asked these beautiful girls to come forward one by one, and one by one asked the same questions of these beautiful girls, such as what books have you read, what martial arts have you practiced, and what do you usually do at home, Who else is in the family, and so on.

In this way, more than ten more beautiful girls were sketched out, and after counting and counting the number of people, there were only less than fifteen left!

Since Xing An took the throne, only two queens and one concubine have died. Except for Xuanyue, the others have died. There has never been such an event as a draft ceremony. This is the first time.

All the show girls who wanted to be courteous and loyal, or had to participate because of the emperor’s face, all came.

Coupled with the fact that they haven’t been drafted for many years, the number of these self-positioned show girls will increase when they reach their age, so the number of people participating this time is relatively more.

After being screened by Concubine Xiao for two-thirds, Xuanyue screened more than half, and the rest is the top layer, which looks the best on the surface.

Xuanyue asked Cuiyun to read out all the fifteen people who passed. Those who were selected were naturally smiling, and those who were not selected were all discouraged.

Only the girl from the Cao family was calm and relieved.

Xuanyue thought that this woman didn’t like living in the harem, but she was not forced into the palace. Such a woman has a good personality.

She gently waved to the Cao family woman among the eliminated group of women: “Come here!”

The women of the Cao family were startled, but hurriedly walked over to Xuanyue to salute.

“What’s your name?” Xuanyue asked.

The Cao family woman blinked her eyes, looked at Xuanyue curiously, and said, “The little girl’s name is Cao Ruolan, and I often hear Brother Haotian mentioning you, my lady!”

Xuanyue nodded and said: “Well! I heard from you just now that you like to practice swordsmanship. The Queen Mother has a younger brother named Xiao Zhengnan, who has a high official position and is quite valued by the Emperor. The Queen Mother is very boring in the palace, so you stay here for a few days. Accompany the queen mother, and when Xiao Zhengnan enters the palace, you can also discuss and discuss!”

How could Cao Ruolan not hear such an obvious red line?

In the eyes of envy and jealousy, she lowered her face with a red face, and said generously: “Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Queen!”

Xuanyue said: “Let Miss Cao go to Hongmei Pavilion first, and then take out the other girls who lost the election!”

After a lot of work, the remaining fifteen people were even more uneasy.

“Wait a little longer, this palace and the empress dowager can’t be the master, so go and invite the emperor to come over. If you close the emperor’s eyes, you will stay in this palace in the future!”

Xuan Yue said these sour words, her teeth were about to collapse, and the beautiful girls agreed one by one.

“Sit down and rest for a while!” Concubine Xiao ordered, and some palace maids moved chairs for the show girls to sit down and rest, and served tea and cakes!

Concubine Xiao chatted with Xuanyue. Concubine Xiao was very concerned about Xuanyue’s pregnancy, and explained that she should pay attention to her body and not work too hard, and Xuanyue responded one by one.

Compared with the pleasant conversation between the two, the show girls below were a little uncomfortable.

The wait is long.

And Xing An, the emperor, was more difficult to wait than others. Within more than half an hour of his late arrival, these beautiful girls were all nervous and sweating.

“Free gift!”

Xing An walked to Xuan Yue’s side before saying no to the beautiful girls who saluted.

Xing An Shen’s handsome appearance attracted the hearts of the beautiful girls, secretly working hard, putting on the most proud and perfect smile that he thought was the most proud and perfect smile, shyly looking up at Xing An.

Xing An didn’t look sideways, walked directly to Xuan Yue’s side, like Concubine Xiao gave a slight salute, and sat down beside Xuan Yue, completely ignoring the few “winks” below.

The girls were all sad and heartbroken.

If it wasn’t for Xing’an being masculine and mighty, and also gave birth to a prince, and just got the news that the queen was just pregnant, they couldn’t help but wonder if Xing An was “not good” in a certain way and was no longer interested in women.

“You just got pregnant. Are you tired after working all day?” Xing An sat next to Xuan Yue, looking at Xuan Yue with concern and asked.
