Raising his lips, Bai Lingyu took a sip of tea and put it down.

"Eldest Miss doesn't seem to be too willing to see me? Could it be that I offended you in some way and made you unhappy? "

Instead of answering directly, Bai Lingyu was actually very curious about Hua Mujin's attitude.

"Your Highness is too serious, how could I dare to give Your Highness face?" If you are not happy, my life will probably be easier than crushing an ant. "

In the beginning, Hua Mujin didn't have a good impression of Bai Lingyu.

But she had always felt that although this man was shrewd, he could still be considered gentle and refined. Today, when he viciously attacked the old nanny, he changed her opinion of him.

At the very least, she knew that this man was a vicious and merciless person.

"It seems that First Miss has misunderstood me. You and I are in a cooperative relationship, so how could I possibly harm your heart?" The reason why I came here today was to tell you about the selection of beautiful women. "

Even though Bai Lingyu was feeling a little helpless, he did not explain any further.

Looking at the smiling man, Hua Mujin did not reply.

Then, Bai Lingyu spoke out.

"This year's number of beautiful women is not many. There are only around twenty or so people. Of course, all the pretty girls were Miss Shangguan. You should know that the selection of beautiful women in Huan Yue Nation is different from that of other nations. All beautiful women have strict requirements, and only those who meet all the requirements are qualified to enter the harem. "

After saying that, Bai Lingyu paused, drank a mouthful of tea, looked at Hua Mujin's expression, and continued.

"During the selection process, you will be tested with the zither, chess, calligraphy, poems and songs. Of course, you don't have to know all of them. I don't think it will be difficult for you, Miss. However, there is one thing that you need to pay attention to. That is, the person who advocated the selection of the beautiful women this year is the empress dowager, who is also my mother. "

Hearing Bai Lingyu's words, Hua Mujin's face did not change at all.

After a while, when Bai Lingyu did not speak anymore, he asked, "Is there nothing else?"

Nodding and answering.

"Gone!"

Their four eyes met, and Hua Mujin's gaze became resolute. After a long while, she asked.

"I am very curious about one thing. Since ancient times, it has always been said that a woman's lack of talent is one's virtue. But why did the beautiful lady have to know the art of zither, calligraphy, poetry, and poetry? Is there some conflict? "

Hua Mujin had always cared more about this matter.

Hearing that, Bai Lingyu chuckled, then stood up and looked into the distance.

"Women know how to work in the zither, play, calligraphy, and painting. Poetry and poetry do not necessarily mean that they are talented. Which official's girl nowadays doesn't know how to use a single skill? However, the talents of the harem women are only used to win the favor of the emperor. To put it bluntly, they are just a method for them to fight for the favor. "

Bai Lingyu's answer was direct, causing him to frown.

For some reason, she was actually unwilling.

"I'm a bit tired. If Your Highness is fine, then please return early. I won't send you off."

With that, Hua Mujin stood up and headed towards her own room.

Looking at her cold attitude, the corner of Bai Lingyu's mouth rose demonically as a small bead appeared out of nowhere in his hand. With a flick, the bead flew towards Hua Mujin and ruthlessly smashed into her leg.

"Ah ?"

Unable to hold back the pain, Hua Mujin shouted out loud and lost her balance.

Just as her head was about to hit the chair, Bai Lingyu moved in a flash and hugged her tightly around her waist.

Staring at the man who was laughing so much that she hugged him tightly, Hua Mujin was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing that, Bai Lingyu's smile became even wider, but at the same time, his smile revealed a cunning look, he did not hide it.

"A few days ago, this king passed through an alleyway on the way to Yue Lao's meeting and saw someone doing something indecent. When I saw Eldest Miss today, I wanted to have a taste of her sweetness. I was only afraid that Eldest Miss would disagree, so I came up with this plan. "

Bai Lingyu's words made Hua Mujin panic.

She twisted her body in an attempt to break free from his embrace, but the pain from her leg coupled with her own strength was much smaller than that of a man. She was unable to move at all.

Moreover, she could clearly feel that she was a little weak right now.

"Bai Lingyu, let go of me!"
